Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 1066: She Deserves All the Best

Just as Chu Yin was pondering what felt off, the movie began.

After watching a third of it, Chu Yin suddenly understood Sang Li’s intentions.

She lightly tapped Sang Li’s hand.

"Did you deliberately trick me?"

Sang Li reversed hold and grasped her hand, his eyes bright in the darkness, and replied with a hum.

Chu Yin felt the warmth in her palm and didn’t immediately pull her hand back.

This was the first time Sang Li had taken the initiative to hold her hand.

But she didn’t dare indulge for too long; after a moment, she wanted to withdraw her hand, yet Sang Li only tightened his grip.

"Don’t move, watch the movie."

"Oh."

Chu Yin didn’t know what the movie was about at all, her mind filled only with the hand held within his.

No wonder people say that cinemas are perfect for couples to deepen their feelings.

It’s so true.

She now feels even the air in the cinema is sweet.

All the way until the movie ended, Chu Yin was immersed in sweetness, until the cleaning staff approached with brooms, confusedly looking at the two.

"How long do you plan to sit here?"

"Huh?"

Chu Yin snapped back to reality, realizing everyone else had left long ago; only she and Sang Li remained seated.

She suspiciously looked at Sang Li, finding him resting his chin, gazing at her.

"Why didn’t you remind me?" Chu Yin asked.

"I did remind you; when I let go, you held even tighter." Sang Li glanced at their hands.

Chu Yin pursed her lips, feeling like a woman taking advantage.

The cleaning staff across from them cheerfully watched, and had she not been masked and wearing 3D glasses, she would’ve wished to crawl into a hole.

She quickly released Sang Li’s hand, explaining, "I... I fell asleep, that’s all."

The staff said, "Oh really? I saw you smiling foolishly the whole time."

Chu Yin’s cheeks burned as she hurriedly replied, "I was just... dreaming."

The staff gave a ’what can you do’ expression, looking from Chu Yin to Sang Li.

"As long as your boyfriend believes it."

"He..."

Chu Yin dared not look at Sang Li.

Sang Li stood up, smiling: "I believe you. Let’s head back."

Chu Yin nodded vigorously.

Huddling close behind him, she walked toward the exit.

Behind them, the cleaning staff frowned.

"That man looks like an elite, yet isn’t he just a hopeless romantic?"

Chu Yin caught the words ’hopeless romantic.’

She felt like laughing; one day Sang Li would be called a hopeless romantic.

Once they were in the car, Sang Li turned to look at Chu Yin.

"Is it funny?"

Chu Yin coughed: "It wasn’t intentional; I just wondered why people think you’re a hopeless romantic."

Sang Li, driving, teased, "I am a bit. Even now I can’t grasp how to date, which is why I’ve been single for over thirty years. Unlike you... adept."

Adept?

It felt odd to Chu Yin, and she stopped laughing.

"Um... you’re not jealous, are you?"

Everyone knew that Chu Yin had been in a relationship.

Sang Li pretended to turn, checking the rearview mirror lightly, humbling acknowledgment.

"Hmm."

Chu Yin hadn’t expected his reply, shocked into silence.

"You... truly jealous?"

"Can’t I be? I thought I was being obvious enough."

Sang Li spoke so naturally.

Natural enough to make Chu Yin feel it was justified.

Even made her feel like she was already in a relationship with Sang Li.

Chu Yin pursed her lips, smiled: "Oh. I’m quite obvious too."

They exchanged a look.

Though their hearts connected, they knew now wasn’t the time.

Especially Sang Li, who hadn’t yet revealed the full truth.

Because the Bai Family was still secretly competing with him, his work pressure was indeed heavy lately.

The Bai Family really had a knack for silent maneuvers.

Especially Bai Hui; she noticed how extreme Bai’s people acted, so distanced herself early on.

Her business had been legitimized well before Bai’s troubles began.

She resented Sang Li and Gong Chen, uncertain whether it’s due to sentiment for Mr. Bai or resentment at lost profits.

Perhaps both.

Not only has she targeted Sang Li, but she’s secretly working against Chu Yin too.

The company Chu Wu signed with bears Bai Hui’s involvement.

Just wait a bit longer.

Facing Sang Li’s unsaid words, Chu Yin harbored no anger.

She understood everything, noticing the increasing scent of smoke around Sang Li, knowing the work pressure weighed on him profoundly.

She had always asserted she didn’t wish to become Sang Li’s burden.

The car stopped at the hotel, Chu Yin placed her hand over Sang Li’s.

"Mr. Sang, I understand everything. I will take care of myself."

"Alright, I’ll escort you upstairs."

Concerned with Chu Yin returning alone, Sang Li left the car to accompany her upstairs.

Chu Yin naturally seized the opportunity.

Walking beside him post-exit, she laughed: "Doesn’t it feel like long ago when you used to send me home?"

Sang Li tilted his head, his gaze focused on her: "You remember?"

Chu Yin nodded: "Back then we had a purely contractual relationship, yet you didn’t know you had already given me the best I could have."

She gently lifted her head, gazing at the starry sky above.

"Ever since school, no one worried for my safety when going home, nor cared for me when sick, reminding me to take medicine."

"I knew it was your upbringing; you’re a good person, but I was still happy, feeling blessed."

"Also, you and others taught me so much."

"I understood that constant compromise only lets others take advantage, so regardless of future events, rest assured, I will take care of myself."

With those words, Sang Li raised both hands, grasping her shoulders.

"Chu Yin, let me tell you something now."

Chu Yin asked, bewildered: "What?"

Sang Li solemnly replied: "Ever wondered why everyone is willing to be kind and teach you so much? Because you’re worth it. Just remember that."

"Earlier efforts, Chu Yin, and even more so now, deserve all good things."

For moments, Chu Yin’s mind went blank, staring at the man encouraging her.

She felt her eyes mist over, leaning her head against his chest.

Hearing his rhythmic heartbeat, Chu Yin felt reality.

In the next instant, Sang Li pulled her into an embrace.

Chu Yin laughed aloud, hugging him back.

Their hearts drew closer.

From afar, someone watched every unfolding moment intently.

Chu Wu.

After an unsettling call, Chu Wu realized that unless she displayed requisite skill, she’d soon be abandoned.

Thus she’d come to the hotel, seeking an opportunity against Chu Yin.

Only to witness Sang Li embrace Chu Yin first.

Chu Wu stared dumbfounded at them, especially Sang Li.

She didn’t understand—shouldn’t a man like Sang Li get any woman he desired?

Lin Zhiyi had risen high, backed by Second Master Gong, Sang Li couldn’t force her.

Now there’s even a similar-looking substitute, shouldn’t Sang Li be pleased?

Why wouldn’t he glance her way?

Could it be she isn’t similar enough to Lin Zhiyi?
