Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 322 Fake is Fake

Gong Chen applied a bit more force, causing the man to break into a sweat from the pain.

His girlfriend couldn’t stand it anymore and hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, it was my fault for accidentally bumping into this lady just now."

Gong Chen coldly stared at the woman, "Oh, so you do know how to apologize?"

The woman’s face showed guilt; whether she bumped into someone or not, she was well aware, but she let her boyfriend misblame because Lin Zhiyi was alone.

"You’re not apologizing to me, but to my..." Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi frowning, he paused, "Apologize to her."

The woman turned to Lin Zhiyi, apologetically said, "Sorry. Can you ask your boyfriend to let go of my boyfriend?"

Lin Zhiyi noticed there were quite a few onlookers around, fearing unnecessary trouble, she thus reminded.

"It’s too dangerous to scuffle on the stairs, be more careful next time."

As she finished, Gong Chen’s expression inexplicably relaxed, and he released the man very briskly.

"I am listening to her."

The man was seemingly aggrieved but did not dare to retaliate, only pretending to be dragged away by his girlfriend.

Lin Zhiyi was about to leave, when the hand around her waist tightened, and she raised her elbow to strike back.

But Gong Chen was immediately blocking it from behind.

"Watch your step, girlfriend," he said as he pulled down her hand, warning her.

"Who is your girlfriend?"

"You didn’t deny it just now."

"You..."

Lin Zhiyi was about to retort, but people behind them had started urging them to move.

She could only go out first.

The two of them walked out of the cinema together, Lin Zhiyi tightened her clothes and turned to Gong Chen, holding out her hand.

"Give me back my phone."

"Don’t you have anything else to say?"

The man’s eyes were deep and compelling, as if every minute expression of Lin Zhiyi couldn’t escape his gaze.

She knew he wanted to talk about the misunderstanding of being mistaken as a couple.

But she didn’t want to mention it, treating it as an episode in the cinema hall, to be forgotten once they stepped out.

"No," she said coldly.

Gong Chen looked at her and handed over the phone.

After getting her phone, Lin Zhiyi was ready to cross the square to hail a cab.

Just as she turned around, she was stopped by Gong Chen pulling her.

"Let me drive you home."

"No need, there are plenty of taxis here, it’s very convenient."

Lin Zhiyi withdrew her gaze and turned around to leave, but the man’s grip tightened even more.

The two stood in a tense standoff for a few seconds.

Suddenly, a little girl ran over, picking two knitted roses from a small basket in her arm.

"Uncle, did you make the aunt mad? Buy an everlasting flower to mollify her."

Gong Chen took the flowers and prepared to pay.

Seeing Gong Chen’s attire, the little girl innocently smiled, "Ninety-nine yuan each, wishing you a long-lasting relationship."

Lin Zhiyi looked at the adults not far from the little girl and chuckled, "Why don’t you check how much your parents priced it in their basket? Twenty yuan each, starting to spout nonsense at such a young age?"

The little girl pouted, coquettishly said, "Uncle, buy it, buy it, I think the flowers really suit the aunt."

Even the target customer being so clear, it looks like she’s got her selling experience down.

Gong Chen directly paid and took the flowers.

The little girl joyfully ran back to find her parents.

Lin Zhiyi exclaimed, "She’s swindling you? And you still bought?"

"I bought her words."

"What words?" Lin Zhiyi was puzzled.

Gong Chen looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, an almost imperceptible gleam in his eyes, "What do you think?"

Lin Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat.

Did you make the aunt mad?

Wishing you a long-lasting relationship?

Flowers that suit the aunt?

Which sentence suits their relationship?

None!

While contemplating, the two roses were already offered to Lin Zhiyi.

No matter their price, the craftsmanship was indeed good; under the moonlight and streetlight, they gave off a glowing plush feel, very beautiful.

But, these two flowers made her recall the fresh flowers Sang Ran selected an entire afternoon for, which even needed air delivery.

So no matter how beautiful, these two flowers were still fake.

Lin Zhiyi took the flowers, her light mocking laugh sounded, "What is this? A cheap apology? Or am I just cheap?"

"Third Young Master, stop playing these tricks. What’s fake will always be fake, I’m not a child anymore."

She threw the flowers into the trash can right away.

Gong Chen was stunned.

Lin Zhiyi ran straight to a taxi.

After getting into the car, she looked at the fading figure outside the window and calmly shifted her gaze away.

"Miss? Miss?"

"What is it?"

Lin Zhiyi realized she had been distracted when she heard the driver’s voice.

The driver spoke again: "Where to? I’ve asked you several times already."

"I’m sorry."

Lin Zhiyi gave the address.

Then she stared out of the car window and started to space out again.

After a while, the driver’s voice spoke up again.

"Miss, why are you so out of it? Your phone has been ringing for quite a while."

Immediately, Lin Zhiyi picked up her phone; it was a call from Sang Li.

"Zhiyi, are you back yet?"

"I’m in a taxi." Lin Zhiyi remembered something and quickly asked, "Is Xiao Ran okay?"

"Both of them have finished their check-up. Ye Feifei’s foot is a bit swollen, Xiao Ran just banged her knee when she fell. Third Young Master is already on his way to pick her up."

Picking up Sang Ran?

Gong Chen was just saying those things to her and then turned around to go find Sang Ran.

She found it both ludicrous and sad.

"Zhiyi? Are you still listening?" Sang Li noticed the silence and asked.

"I am." Lin Zhiyi said weakly.

"What’s wrong?"

"It’s just... that movie, I was duped."

Sang Li chuckled lightly: "It seems you really didn’t know. Online they joke that it’s a couples’ sci-fi movie because the girlfriend can hide in her boyfriend’s arms when she’s scared."

"..."

"Were you scared?"

"Not really." Lin Zhiyi replied tersely.

"That’s too bad, otherwise I could have experienced what it’s like to have a beauty in my arms."

Sang Li even sighed playfully.

Lin Zhiyi snorted slightly, but before she could fully smile, she heard Sang Ran’s voice.

"Bro, Third Young Master is here, we’ll head off first."

"Third Young Master, you needn’t rush, I’m really fine, it’s just that the prosthetic isn’t very flexible which caused the fall."

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t laugh or speak.

Just as the driver arrived at the destination.

She took the opportunity to end the call: "I’m here, you should go back and rest early too."

"Mhm, I’ll pick you up tomorrow."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi casually agreed and hung up the phone.

...

Su He Bay.

Sang Ran’s knee was scraped, and the prosthetic was also hit, making it difficult for her to walk.

So she followed Gong Chen back to the nearby Su He Bay. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

As soon as she sat down, Sang Ran began talking about the day’s events.

"Feifei and I went to eat near the florist’s shop in the mall, and just happened to see my brother and Zhiyi going to the movies, it’s the first time my brother has watched a movie with a woman, it seems their relationship is progressing rapidly."

Gong Chen paused while pouring water and said in a low voice, "Did you mention the flowers?"

"Yeah. Feifei casually mentioned it." Sang Ran leaned on the couch, massaging her leg.

Gong Chen didn’t ask further, put down the cup, and said expressionlessly, "I’ll go tidy up the guest room."

Upon hearing the words ’guest room’, Sang Ran stiffened with emotion, and just as she was about to suggest sleeping in the main bedroom would be fine, Gong Chen had already left.

Looking at his retreating figure, she gripped the cup in her hand tightly.

From the corner of her eye, she saw a bag on the table.

Gong Chen had been holding it in his hand all the way back, not even letting Chen Jin touch it.

Sang Ran pushed herself up and walked to the table, opened the bag and looked inside, then slightly startled.

Then, half-jokingly toward the direction of the guest room, she said, "Why bring back the unfinished milk tea too? This stuff doesn’t taste good after two hours, I’ll throw it away for you."

Without waiting for a response, she directly swept it into the garbage can.
