Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 338: The Clown Mimicking Dong Shi’s Frown
Chapter 338: Chapter 338: The Clown Mimicking Dong Shi’s Frown
Singles Party.
Lin Zhiyi had just finished a phone call with Sang Li when the taxi stopped outside the hotel.
Because Sang Ran was not in a good condition, her brother Sang Li naturally took the responsibility to arrange everything personally for her singles party.
So he came to the hotel early in the morning to sort things out.
Lin Zhiyi did not want to trouble him, so she took a taxi by herself.
Because she remembered the reminder from Ren Xiya, she deliberately decided to be the last to arrive to avoid drawing attention.
As she entered the hotel, the lobby was almost empty, but the decor still slightly stunned her.
Apart from the hotel’s luxurious decorations, a giant carousel had been brought into the lounge to fulfill Sang Ran’s girlish dreams.
Lin Zhiyi initially thought it was merely for decoration, but as she approached, she realized it was moving and even singing.
However, it was not a childish nursery rhyme, but a... wedding march.
Quite fitting for the occasion.
As she was lost in thought, a hotel staff member approached her.
Seeing Lin Zhiyi in a gown, he recognized her as today’s guest and immediately enthusiastically stopped the carousel.
"Miss, Miss Sang said that guests could take photos with it, and later make a photo album for keepsake. Everyone else has taken theirs, which one would you like to sit on?"
Lin Zhiyi intended to decline, but a beautiful white horse had just stopped in front of her.
She pointed: "This one, please."
"Okay, many people liked this little white horse today, it makes great pictures."
The staff member noticed that Lin Zhiyi was wearing a lace glove, with gauze visible beneath the lace.
He then brought over a stool and helped Lin Zhiyi get on it.
Before starting, he also pointed out a spot thoughtfully.
"Miss, there’s light reflecting from the dome over there. It makes for a beautiful photograph and matches your gown today."
"Thank you."
Perhaps because the young man was so kind, Lin Zhiyi no longer had her previous scattered thoughts and reached into her purse for her mobile phone leaning against the pole in front of her.
The carousel gradually started to rotate, and the voices from the other side grew clearer.
"Third Young Master, Miss Sang, move a bit closer..."
Lin Zhiyi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sang Ran arm in arm with Gong Chen by the carousel, taking photos.
As it was about to rotate towards them, she instinctively wanted to hide, pushing the little wooden horse in front of her.
But she forgot that her right hand couldn’t exert any force.
"Ah!"
Lin Zhiyi screamed as she fell off the carousel.
In an instant, a figure leapt over the railing and pulled her back.
Lin Zhiyi crashed into the man’s arms heavily.
Before she could gather her senses, an angry voice from the man thundered above her head.
"Who allowed you to get on? Don’t you know your hand can’t take the strain?"
Lin Zhiyi froze for a moment, only when she felt the hand at her waist tighten did she struggle to look up.
The light from the dome above perfectly fell just then, the man stood against the light, his visage handsome, his hair haloed, and his eyes fervently intense.
He looked at her with complexity, as if he had something to say, yet nothing could be said.
"You..." Lin Zhiyi slowly began to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by a noise.
Click, click.
The photographer quickly apologized: "Occupational hazard, Third Young Master, sorry."
Lin Zhiyi snapped back to reality, struggled a few times, but Gong Chen didn’t let go.
Until...
Sang Ran spoke, reminding, "Third Young Master."
Gong Chen’s fingers tensed and immediately he released Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi felt a sudden sense of being sharply dropped.
She slightly lowered her gaze and distantly said, "Thank you, Third Young Master."
"Hmm."
Gong Chen responded lightly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Zhiyi’s cheek, settling by her ear.
A pair of teardrop ruby earrings under the light enhanced her complexion, making her stunningly beautiful, a true beauty indeed.
Just then, a mocking voice came from not far away.
"Lin Zhiyi, why are you dressed like that? Don’t you know today Sang Ran is the star?"
Ye Feifei walked out from behind the photographer, pointing at Lin Zhiyi’s gown.
Only then did Lin Zhiyi realize her gown was almost identical to Sang Ran’s, except for some details on the skirt, likely from the same designer and collection.
But today, Sang Ran is the bride-to-be, and everyone will try to avoid that series.
Only Lin Zhiyi violated the taboo.
But the dress was clearly sent to her by Sang Ran.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Sang Ran, her eyes asking questions.
Sang Ran pursed her lips: "It must be a coincidence."
Ye Feifei sneered: "There are thousands of people here today, and no one has such a coincidence. Who knows what she is thinking?"
Her words attracted some guests to pause.
Among these guests, there were no shortage of people who recognized Lin Zhiyi, their gazes seeming to sizzle her on fire.
Lin Zhiyi knew that nothing she said now would be useful.
Who would believe that Sang Ran had sent her a similar dress?
Sang Ran held Gong Chen’s arm tightly and smiled, "Let’s forget it, let’s go somewhere else for photos, we still have guests to meet later."
After speaking, she looked up at Gong Chen expectantly.
Gong Chen looked at her: "Hmm."
Then, he turned and left with Sang Ran.
Sang Ran’s eyebrows relaxed, and she gave Gong Chen a happy smile.
As they were leaving, she turned her head and looked at Lin Zhiyi apologetically.
Lin Zhiyi stood there dazed, with the wedding march playing from the carousel above her.
"You really look like a clown mimicking Dong Shi’s frown, pity... no matter how similar the imitation, Third Young Master’s final choice is always Sang Ran."
Ye Feifei deliberately raised her voice, as if mocking, but also as if telling everyone that the past scandal was just Lin Zhiyi trying to rub off some glamour.
After being satisfied, she left laughing.
Letting the other guests laugh at Lin Zhiyi.
She suddenly understood the meaning behind Sang Ran sending her this dress.
To see her own status.
When Lin Zhiyi was ready to receive the unfriendly gazes around her, she suddenly found that everyone around her had disappeared.
It was as if everything was just her illusion.
Then, a chuckle came from behind her. freeweɓnøvel.com
Lin Zhiyi immediately turned around and saw Ren Xiya walking towards her, graceful and poised.
"I knew you would still come, it seems tonight will be lively."
Lin Zhiyi looked at her puzzledly: "What else do you know?"
Ren Xiya stopped in front of her, her eyes were cold, but she maintained a faint smile on her face.
"Lin Zhiyi, let’s have dessert another day."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi looked at her inexplicably.
Ren Xiya withdrew her smile, thoughtfully looking at the ruby earrings next to Lin Zhiyi’s ear: "Nice earrings, good choice."
After saying that, she left.
Lin Zhiyi watched Ren Xiya’s retreating figure, always feeling that she had many secrets.
Before Lin Zhiyi could think deeply, Sang Li came out of the elevator.
"Zhiyi, why haven’t you come up after so long?"
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment, didn’t say much, and pointed to the carousel behind her.
"Said to take some photos, got a bit delayed."
"Sang Ran insisted on these, my dad really got them for her." Sang Li held Lin Zhiyi’s hand, his voice deep, "If you like, we can also get one later."
"Hmm?" Lin Zhiyi looked at him in surprise.
"Not happy? Seems I need to work harder." Sang Li said jokingly.
Lin Zhiyi shyly tugged at him: "It’s about time, let’s go."
...
On the corridor.
"Third Young Master, you’re walking too fast, I can’t keep up." Sang Ran hurried to keep up.
Gong Chen stopped and stood under the corridor, lighting a cigarette.
"Why did you do it?"
"What?" Sang Ran asked, puzzled.
Gong Chen exhaled a puff of smoke, his voice cold, "That dress, you sent it to her."
"You... even inspect the parcels I send? Have you become so cautious?"
Sang Ran looked at Gong Chen, her face pale.
