Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 950

Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Another Choice

Gong Chen said calmly, "I came over because I noticed you hadn’t returned for a while, so I wanted to check on you."

Lin Zhiyi looked in the direction he came from, feeling a bit relieved.

Gong Chen probably hadn’t heard her conversation with Xia Wan.

This matter, she had to choose on her own.

Gong Chen was the heir of the Gong Family, even if he intended to delegate most of the power to Gong Shiyan.

But being part of the Gong Family, it was impossible for him to fully escape.

Yet asking her to completely give up the career she loved, to say it was willing would be a lie.

There was actually another option.

She could leave Gong Chen with Xingxing.

No wonder people often say fate plays tricks on you.

Those unresolved endings would repeatedly appear for you to choose.

In her past life, she chose Gong Chen and gave up on herself.

Now, it seemed she was back to this choice again.

Choosing Gong Chen, giving up on herself.

Gong Chen would still be Gong Chen, Xingxing would still be Xingxing, and she would turn back into the unremarkable Lin Zhiyi behind Gong Chen.

Is this really what she wanted?

"Zhiyi, what are you thinking about?"

Gong Chen, while pushing his wheelchair, didn’t open his mouth at first, just suddenly asked.

Lin Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Nothing. Let’s go."

...

Back in the hospital room.

Li Huan somehow managed to get a tea set.

He, Chen Jin, and Zhou Zhao were already having tea.

Upon seeing the two of them enter, Li Huan put down his teacup.

"Third Young Master, why were you gone for so long?"

Lin Zhiyi frowned, looking towards Gong Chen.

"The wheelchair is hard to maneuver, and it takes a while to wait for the elevator," Gong Chen explained.

Li Huan nodded, "True, the guest elevator is always full, and even normal people have to wait a bit, let alone you in a wheelchair."

Lin Zhiyi recalled how she often waited for the elevator in the past, sometimes needing two turns, quite normal.

Gong Chen pulled her over to the sofa.

"What did Xia Wan say to you? You didn’t look too well when you came out."

Lin Zhiyi quickly explained without much thought, "She apologized, probably wasn’t feeling great, and said a bunch of nonsense."

Gong Chen acknowledged with a simple sound and didn’t ask further.

Li Huan wondered, "Speaking of which, how did Xia Wan find out that Xingxing is the Third Young Master’s daughter?"

Lin Zhiyi quickly answered, "She had been following us with someone before she even showed up, so it’s not surprising she knows about Xingxing. That’s what she just told me."

Zhou Zhao teased, "She’s pretty good, coming in with a postscript after it’s all over."

Just after saying that, Chen Jin gave him a little shove.

He looked around at everyone, a bit clueless.

Lin Zhiyi instinctively tried to smooth things over, "She’s worried about the Gong Family holding her accountable, so she’s being honest about everything."

"But how did she know what Third Young Master’s mother looks like?" Li Huan pressed.

"She knew from Mr. Sun when he was alive, and kept photos for use in cosmetic surgery. Originally, she wanted to use her appearance to provoke the old man’s illness, but he had already recognized her," Lin Zhiyi explained everything before Gong Chen could speak.

Li Huan nodded, letting out a big sigh of relief.

"Anyway, everything’s cleared up now."

Lin Zhiyi paused, absentmindedly nodding.

"Yeah, everything’s cleared up."

They chatted a while more over tea.

Lin Zhiyi spoke intermittently.

Li Huan had to return to work, so he left first.

Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao appeared to have nothing else to do, but their phones kept buzzing with work calls and messages.

Even Gong Chen was busy despite being hospitalized.

Lin Zhiyi sat nearby, resting her cheek in her palm as she watched him.

Unknowingly, she fell asleep.

Late into the night, hunger woke her, and she opened her eyes to find herself lying in a hospital bed.

As she moved, the hand around her waist tightened slightly.
