Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 907

Chapter 907: Chapter 907: Treating the Root of the Problem

Lin Zhiyi looked at the approaching old man, holding Xingxing tightly.

Suddenly, it felt like a gust of wind blew past her.

When she opened her eyes again, Gong Chen was already standing in front of them, reaching out to stop the approaching old man.

"What are you doing?"

The old man seemed to wake up from a dream, standing there at a loss, completely unaware of what he had done.

Lin Zhiyi tugged at Gong Chen and said, "The old man didn’t do anything to us, he just said a couple of words. It seemed like he was telling us to leave quickly."

Gong Chen frowned, "I didn’t expect him to forget so many things, yet remember so clearly only the thing about driving you away."

He called for the butler.

"Take the old man back to rest."

"Yes."

The butler stepped forward to help the old man.

After just a couple of steps, the old man turned to stare at Lin Zhiyi.

"Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave..."

"Understood," Lin Zhiyi answered helplessly.

Only then did the old man leave with the butler.

For some reason, Lin Zhiyi always felt there was a deeper meaning to his words urging them to leave.

"What’s wrong?" Gong Chen noticed Lin Zhiyi spacing out and waved his hand in front of her.

"Nothing, just feeling a bit cold." Lin Zhiyi held Xingxing’s hand more tightly.

"Let’s go back to the courtyard."

Gong Chen took off his coat and placed it on Lin Zhiyi’s shoulders, then he himself carried Xingxing in his arms.

Lin Zhiyi smiled, holding onto his arm as they walked away.

"What did you say to Uncle?"

"I handed a few projects to him. With his capability, he can definitely complete them. By then, no one will bring up his past again." Gong Chen replied.

"Aren’t you afraid of what others might say about you?"

"Then I’ll take the opportunity to resign. Whoever wants the job can take it."

Gong Chen seemed utterly carefree.

Lin Zhiyi chuckled lightly.

After walking a while, they saw Ren Xiya wrapping a scarf around herself coming over.

She tied a knot at her waist with her coffee-colored long trench coat, revealing pointed high heels as she walked.

Elegant and with a unique charm.

"Xiya, where are you going so late?"

"It’s so boring here, I’m heading back. Besides, I don’t understand why the butler arranged for me to stay in the courtyard where Gong Yao used to live, it’s annoying." Ren Xiya pouted.

"Ask the butler to find another room for you. The Gong Mansion has more than a thousand rooms, surely there’s a place for you to sleep?" Lin Zhiyi said.

"Can’t be bothered, I’m leaving."

Ren Xiya left straightaway.

Lin Zhiyi looked at her back suspiciously.

"Bother?" she repeated.

"Do you believe it?" Gong Chen retorted.

Lin Zhiyi burst into laughter, "I don’t believe it, but wouldn’t it be awkward to expose her? By the way, how are you planning to deal with Xiya?"

Gong Chen said casually, "Ren Xiya can make something of herself whether she’s in the Gong Family or not. Like you, she’s a bird flying in the sky, not a caged songbird. But she differs from you in some way."

"In what way?" Lin Zhiyi asked curiously.

"She treats people like caged songbirds, you don’t."

"Are you complimenting or insulting me?" Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, and couldn’t help but add, "Speaking of which, she’s been radiant these past few months, her tone much gentler. Seems like someone has found the right medicine for her."

...

Apartment.

The doorbell rang, and Li Huan immediately opened the door.

Outside, Ren Xiya leaned against the doorframe, lifting her coat to reveal the dress beneath.

"Got time?" she raised an eyebrow.

"You... I..."

"Don’t waste your breath."

Ren Xiya pushed Li Huan inside.

Li Huan wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up directly.

"Better to act than to respect. But before that, I have something for you."

"What is it?" Ren Xiya asked curiously.

With one hand supporting her, Li Huan opened a nearby drawer with the other and took out a box, handing it to her.

"Your birthday is coming up. I know you’re sensitive about it, so I hope you’ll remember the birthday you spent with me."

Ren Xiya paused before accepting and opening the box.

Inside was a bracelet, simple yet exquisite.
