Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 798

Chapter 798: Chapter 798: No More Mr. Nice Guy

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but laugh at Li Huan’s expression.

"I’m just kidding," she quickly said. "I know you’ve been busy with work recently, so eat more beef."

"That’s more like it." Li Huan continued eating, "It’s been a while since I’ve been to Yi Garden, the food is really getting better."

"But... Huanhuan, have you solved your white moonlight?"

Lin Zhiyi winked at him, glancing at Ren Xiya who was holding a teacup beside her.

Li Huan immediately realized that Lin Zhiyi wanted him to state his position in front of Gong Chen.

And conveniently explain things to Ren Xiya in public.

With so many witnesses, it would be hard for him to deny anything later.

Li Huan explained, "I swear I don’t have a white moonlight, it’s just the teacher asking me for a favor. Recently, I’ve been avoiding her and her daughter."

He turned to Ren Xiya, raising his hand: "I swear."

Ren Xiya pursed her lips: "Who asked you to swear?"

"I did."

"If you don’t go looking for them, they’ll surely come looking for you?"

It’s rare for Ren Xiya to bring this up, indicating that she indeed cares about Li Huan.

Li Huan said, "I was just helping as a classmate to introduce a hospital, as for work, she surely has to rely on herself. However, when it comes to work, I can’t avoid it."

Lin Zhiyi smiled, "What about that child? I feel like she particularly likes you."

Li Huan quickly explained, afraid of any misunderstandings.

"Nina just separated from her father and is in a completely unfamiliar environment, so she might depend on me more. I’ve already explained to her."

"Nina privately told me that her parents were fighting abroad for a long time, and she’s very scared."

"After meeting me, she thought I was nice and wanted to be with me. Gu Yingxi might have noticed her thoughts, which is why she let her approach me."

"Nina is actually very sensible. After realizing she was causing me trouble, she stopped calling me ’Daddy Li’.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi was slightly taken aback.

She had met Nina before and wasn’t impressed.

Unexpectedly, privately she’s such an understanding child.

When parents fight and divorce, it’s always the children who get hurt.

Ren Xiya, however, thought one step further.

"Children are naturally straightforward, but do you really think without guidance she’ll randomly call a man ’dad’?"

"This..."

Li Huan, being a doctor, really didn’t want to explore human nature outside of work.

Enough energy was spent on outsmarting patients while on duty.

Anyway, he wasn’t interested in Gu Yingxi either.

Since Gu Yingxi was mentioned, Lin Zhiyi asked a question she’d always been curious about.

"Why did Doctor Gu get divorced?"

"The reason for the divorce... she didn’t say in detail, but from mutual friends it was because of a third-party interference. Her husband divorced for that woman causing a big fuss. She and her daughter tried to maintain the relationship, but the man treated them worse and worse, ultimately ending in divorce with mother and daughter returning home alone."

Lin Zhiyi was a bit angry hearing this.

"Did that man really abandon his own daughter? That’s too much. Why should adult affairs involve a child? No wonder Nina depends on you."

Upon hearing this, Ren Xiya tutted twice.

"Wake up, both of you. How can you believe they’re truly destitute?"

Lin Zhiyi snapped back, "Miss Ren, what do you mean?"

Ren Xiya questioned, "What does Doctor Gu’s husband do?"

Li Huan replied, "Also a doctor, his family invested in a small hospital."

"Doctors like him earn quite a lot. Divorce for them is more complex than for the average person. He has to give up a lot of assets, and pay huge child support. How could such a mother and daughter be destitute?" Ren Xiya said.

Li Huan was taken aback.

Lin Zhiyi said, "Yes, the last time I saw them, they wore some very expensive-looking clothes, how could they need Li Huan to care for them so much."

Li Huan explained, "The teacher said they weren’t doing well, so I took care of a bit. I didn’t think much about it. As a man, I can’t probe into others’ marriage lives."

Ren Xiya said, "You better be careful, she seems like a person who’s not easily defeated. She fought with the third party for so long, does she seem like someone who gives up when facing setbacks?"

"She..."

Li Huan started to speak, but Ren Xiya suddenly interrupted.

"Forget it, what’s it to me? Do whatever you want."

Li Huan detected a note of something amiss.

He chuckled, "What I meant to say is that we’re just coworkers; she does her thing and I do mine."

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi picked up the teapot and went to Ren Xiya’s side.
