Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 363: Don’t Leave, I’m in Pain

Ah!

Lin Zhiyi screamed in anger inside her heart, but she lacked the strength to express it.

Ultimately, she leaned in and bit down on the back of Gong Chen’s hand.

All of a sudden, Gong Chen’s hand supported her neck, pulling her directly in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and beneath his eyelids, his gaze was fiery with desire churning repeatedly, but in the end, he closed his eyes.

She would hate him even more.

He did nothing, enduring the torment in his body and heart.

Lin Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when Gong Chen suddenly released her.

After applying the fever-reducing patch on him, she fed him some medicine.

Seeing him gradually calming down, she got up, planning to go back to her room.

The moment she stirred, the man suddenly sat up and wrapped his arms around her from behind, his palm pressing firmly against her lower abdomen.

He tilted his head slightly and rested it on her shoulder, his hot breath filling her ear.

Lin Zhiyi was startled, and her cell phone fell at her feet.

The screen lit up instantly, displaying Liu He’s project proposal.

Lin Zhiyi thought of something and immediately stepped on her phone screen.

Fortunately, the man behind her did not notice anything.

He murmured as if talking in his sleep, "Don’t leave. I feel awful."

Lin Zhiyi had no desire to pay him any attention, but she could not walk away.

Every time she moved, Gong Chen’s hands would tighten.

She couldn’t disregard herself, and she couldn’t disregard the child in her womb either.

She could only sit dryly, letting him hold her.

The warmth from the palm of his hand continuously transferred to Lin Zhiyi’s lower abdomen.

Though she was very aware that the baby couldn’t move at this stage, that indescribable sensation felt as if Xingxing had returned to their embrace.

With Xingxing, Lin Zhiyi felt as if there was something to look forward to once again.

Gradually, she closed her eyes.

...

Elsewhere, in a hotpot restaurant.

Li Huan and Chen Jin both put tripe into the pot at the same time.

Their cell phones were flipped upside down on the table, ringing over and over again until a WeChat message put an end to it.

Li Huan laughed and said, "Guess who Lin Zhiyi scolded more fiercely, you or me?"

Chen Jin responded seriously, "You."

Li Huan burst into laughter, picked up his phone and said, "Impossible! I bet we can compare, and the loser treats. Lin Zhiyi and I have a bond forged through adversity, how could she possibly..."

The screen lit up, and counting the stickers Lin Zhiyi sent, he was virtually slapped eighteen times.

Chen Jin casually flipped open his phone.

Lin Zhiyi was fairly impartial, hitting him with a stick, but it was better than Li Huan’s treatment.

Li Huan expressed dissatisfaction, "Why? I’ve helped her so much."

Chen Jin calmly stated, "Because she doesn’t want to deal with Third Young Master, she also doesn’t want to deal with me, and the stickers were sent purely out of frustration."

"You... you’re truly terrifying, becoming more and more like Third Young Master." Li Huan stuffed the tripe into his mouth.

As they chatted, a message popped up on Chen Jin’s phone.

He frowned as he glanced over it, quickly replying.

’Yes.’

Li Huan asked, "Who’s that?"

Chen Jin didn’t answer, but instead asked, "What has Zhou Zhao been up to lately?"

"Don’t know, should I invite him over?"

"No need for that trouble, do you know what his Chinese zodiac sign is?" Chen Jin lifted his gaze.

"What?"

"A dog."

After saying that, Chen Jin smoothly took a photo and posted on his friend circle.

Half an hour later, Zhou Zhao walked in with his suit jacket slung over his shoulder.

"That’s not cool, to enjoy by yourself."

"So you really are a ’dog’, what smell on Chen Jin lured you here so quickly?" Li Huan passed him a set of bowl and chopsticks.

"Go on, aren’t we friends? It’s going to be hard to gather together in the future." Zhou Zhao glanced at the two of them.

"What happened?" Li Huan asked.

"After Miss Lin and Young Master get engaged, they will return to Hai City together. The Sang Family’s main business is not in Jing City, so aside from visiting Miss Sang, we probably won’t come here often. Don’t miss me too much," said Zhou Zhao with a stylish raise of his eyebrow.

Chen Jin noticed Zhou Zhao reaching for some sauce and obstructed him with his chopsticks, "This has minced garlic."

Li Huan hummed in confusion, about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Jin.

"I thought Mr. Sang had plans to develop some major business in Jing City as well."

"Why do I feel like there’s a hidden meaning in your words?" Zhou Zhao tilted his head as he stared at Chen Jin.

"After all, both the Second Madam and Miss Sang are in Jing City. If there’s business, they can look out for each other." Chen Jin said unflinchingly.

"No way, with your boss in Jing City, the young master won’t be foolish enough to snatch Third Young Master’s business." Zhou Zhao spoke truthfully.

"Your young master is bold enough to snatch even people."

"Yeah, I’m bold enough to snatch too."

As he spoke, Zhou Zhao snatched the tripe off Chen Jin’s plate with his chopsticks.

Chen Jin frowned, "That’s unhygienic."

Zhou Zhao stuffed it into his mouth, "I’m eating hotpot with you guys, and you’re talking about hygiene? It’s not like I snatched it from your mouth."

Li Huan chuckled twice, passed his own tripe to Chen Jin, and smoothed things over, "Here, eat up. If it’s not enough, we’ll order more."

Chen Jin hummed a response and typed out two characters on his phone.

’Not it.’

Zhou Zhao’s mouth curved into a smile, and he sent a message under the table.

’Young Master, something’s fishy.’

...

The next day.

Gong Chen woke up to find someone reading a magazine beside him.

He sat up and rubbed his temples, "You’re awake?"

The magazine was put down, revealing a face Gong Chen was not too eager to see.

Sang Li.

"Awake." Sang Li said with a light smile, his gaze conveying, ’surprise or not, here I am’.

Gong Chen looked around for Lin Zhiyi, his voice cold, "What are you doing here?"

Sang Li calmly turned a page of the magazine, "Third Young Master, I did take care of you all night, show some courtesy."

"..."

Gong Chen ignored Sang Li, stood up, and walked to the window to light up a cigarette.

Either he hadn’t woken up fully, or he must have been seriously ill.

Otherwise, Sang Li wouldn’t be here talking nonsense so early in the morning.

The smoke dispersed, and Sang Li was still sitting there with a smile.

Gong Chen said in a deep voice, "Did Lin Zhiyi send you here?"

"Mm, my fiancée is naturally a bit afraid when facing a big man like you."

Sang Li’s tone remained gentle, but there was a distinct shadow in his eyes when he mentioned the words ’my fiancée’.

Gong Chen, however, remained unfazed.

He leaned lazily against the windowsill, tall and straight. His slender fingers held the cigarette, with pale blue smoke blurring his face.

But his aura was still dark and dangerous.

Even though Sang Li had the upper hand, he barely managed to maintain his composure.

At that moment, the door to the master bedroom opened.

Lin Zhiyi came out with a yawn, clearly sensing that the atmosphere was off.

She let go of her hand, "What’s wrong?"

Sang Li smiled gently, "It’s nothing. Zhou Zhao just brought breakfast over, let’s eat together."

Lin Zhiyi nodded and glanced at Gong Chen.

He was smoking, his expression unclear, but the superior depth of his silhouette, even in the haze, exuded an indescribable handsomeness.

The loosened tie draped over his neck and his shirt widely open, there was a silent display of asceticism.

A gust of wind blew in from the window, bringing with it the smell of smoke.

Lin Zhiyi frowned.

Gong Chen immediately stubbed out the cigarette and closed the window.

Seeing this, Sang Li took the opportunity to look at Gong Chen, "Third Young Master, please come and sit down too."

"Mr. Sang is really polite."

"After all, you are the guest."

Sang Li reached out and guided Lin Zhiyi past Gong Chen to the table.

Lin Zhiyi followed him to the table, "Never mind, Third Young Master might not be accustomed to..."

"Eat." Gong Chen immediately sat down beside Lin Zhiyi.

His scent of smoke still lingered, causing Lin Zhiyi to frown again.

Thinking of the dangers of secondhand smoke, especially to the fetus, she immediately switched places with Sang Li.

Sang Li could not help but suppress a grin, but courteously passed the breakfast to Gong Chen.

"Third Young Master, Zhiyi doesn’t like the smell of smoke, and I’ve been trying to quit recently too," he said.

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Zhiyi.

Hearing about quitting smoking, Gong Chen thought of what Li Huan had said about preparing for pregnancy, and his expression darkened.
