Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Bitten by a Dog Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Bitten by a Dog Old Mr. Gong had never been too satisfied with Wanqiu’s family background.

But at least Wanqiu had a good image and reputation, and she was far better than those messy women out there when standing by Gong Chen’s side.

Yet, at this press conference, Wanqiu had disappointed him severely.

Gong Chen’s face remained without much fluctuation, and his response was terrifyingly indifferent.

“Mhm.”

After the conversation, they left together.

A moment later, Wanqiu emerged from behind the rockery.

Her hand, wrapped around the skirt hem in panic, was nearly twisted off.

She must win!

…

Liu He said she wanted Lin Zhiyi to stay for the night, but Lin Zhiyi refused.

The Gong Family had no good memories for her.

Here, she would remember the scorn she faced from everyone in her past life.

She would also remember her pitiable daughter.

Therefore, as dusk approached, she left.

But having only gone halfway, a sudden storm began, the entire sky turned a murky grey as if about to pour down.

Lin Zhiyi quickened her pace, but before she had gone much further, the rain came down in torrents, soaking her through.

Suddenly, the sound of a car braking came from behind her, and she turned around with her hand covering her head.

The man got out of the car, holding a black umbrella as he quickly approached Lin Zhiyi, and the dark umbrella tilted up to reveal a handsome face.

“Zhiyi.”

“Big brother, what are you doing here?” Lin Zhiyi was slightly surprised.

“I went to see Second Uncle. Your mom said you had left. You didn’t know it was going to pour today?”

“I… I didn’t notice,” Lin Zhiyi said, embarrassed.

Gong Yan sighed softly, tilting the umbrella towards Lin Zhiyi as they looked at each other.

Lin Zhiyi’s hair was dripping wet, her pretty and bright face slightly pale, but her lips looked tantalizingly delicate, provoking a sense of fragile allure.

Her clothes, drenched in the rain, clung to her body, outlining her graceful figure perfectly and tautly.

Gong Yan merely glanced at her and felt a rush of breathlessness before immediately averting his gaze and taking out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

“I’ll take you back. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Thank you, big brother.”

Knowing she couldn’t take the subway in her current state, Lin Zhiyi agreed.

They turned around just as a car drove slowly past them, and from the partially closed window two figures were visible.

Gong Chen and Wanqiu.

Wanqiu almost seemed to be clinging to Gong Chen, looking as if they were locking lips.

So impatient.

Lin Zhiyi’s heart revolted at the sight, feeling as awful as if she’d been gnawed on by a dog that day.

Just as Gong Chen turned to look over, Lin Zhiyi tugged at Gong Yan.

“Big brother, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

They walked towards the car without looking back.

Yet Lin Zhiyi felt her spine grow stiff under one particular gaze.

The black luxury car tore through the rainy night like a sharp flash of lightning, quickly piercing the curtain of rain.

In the rainy night, the man’s handsome face took on an extra touch of danger and coldness.

Inside the car, the temperature seemed to drop, as Wanqiu gently breathed out, cautiously glancing at the man beside her.

She slowly reached out, her hand lightly touching his knee, her pale fingers sliding on the black dress pants, seemingly reminding him of what had been unfinished earlier.

“Third Young Master.”

Wanqiu leaned in softly, her fingertips lazily circling the boundary.

She had been so close to kissing Gong Chen before.

It was all Lin Zhiyi’s fault!

Just as her hand touched his thigh, Gong Chen grabbed her hand.

He didn’t even look at her and said to Chen Jin, “Stop the car ahead and let me out; you take her back.”

“Yes, Third Young Master.”

“Third Young Master, where are you going?” Wanqiu asked in a hurry, forgetting her tone.

Gong Chen glanced at her indifferently, without emotion, “I have something to do.”

Wanqiu watched him leave, unable to hide her bitterness any longer.
