Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 351: I Thought You Would Crash the Wedding
Chapter 351: Chapter 351: I Thought You Would Crash the Wedding
Hotel.
Gong Chen looked at the sunlight outside the window, subconsciously fondling the ring on his finger.
He touched nothing and remembered the ring was returned by him.
Chen Jin handed over water and medicine: "Third Young Master, it’s about time."
Gong Chen stood against the light, expressionless, swallowed the medicine, his deep dark eyes slightly squinted, chilling to the bone.
"Let’s go."
Opening the door, a trail of fresh flowers spread out, a wave of romantic joy slowly accompanied by the wedding march...
On the other side.
Lin Zhiyi and Sister Zhou had a bowl of vegetarian noodles at the mountain temple before descending.
As soon as they got in the car, both slumped onto the backseat of the taxi.
Within less than five minutes, Sister Zhou was sound asleep.
Though Lin Zhiyi was very tired, she couldn’t sleep at all, and as she adjusted her position, the talisman in her pocket fell under the seat.
She groped around for a while before picking it up, and as she examined it against the sunlight from the car window, the taxi just stopped, parallel to the wedding car beside it.
An unexpected ninety-nine second red light.
Lin Zhiyi was attracted by the sunflowers on the wedding car, slightly lifted her eyes, and unexpectedly met those black eyes inside the car window.
Gong Chen.
At that moment, it seemed as though everything had stopped.
No words, no expressions, only the complex look in their eyes fluctuating and finally returning to calm as the countdown ended.
The green light came on.
Lin Zhiyi watched as the man’s car drove away.
It’s said that after the wedding, Gong Chen and Sang Ran would fly straight to a private island for their honeymoon.
And Lin Zhiyi... turned left.
Destined not to be in the same direction anymore.
...
When she got home, Lin Zhiyi saw a familiar face downstairs.
Ren Xiya.
She was dressed in a black long dress, wearing sunglasses, leaning against the car door and smoking a slim women’s cigarette.
Her face was as cool and indifferent as the first time they met.
"Lin Zhiyi, I’m leaving."
"Mhm." Lin Zhiyi nodded, the scent of her unique perfume below her nose.
Ren Xiya took a puff of her cigarette: "My mom has been sent to a compulsory rehabilitation center, arranged by Third Young Master, I think the old man now really hopes to stay away from us."
"Mhm."
Lin Zhiyi, holding her cane, didn’t know what to say.
Ren Xiya sized her up, jokingly said: "I thought you might crash the wedding, I didn’t expect you went hiking."
"I’m not as crazy as you." Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips.
Ren Xiya flicked her cigarette ash, chuckled lightly: "Whether you believe it or not, I don’t believe Third Young Master willingly married Sang Ran."
"He’s already married, by now they should be boarding the plane for their honeymoon." Lin Zhiyi lowered her eyes, her fingers tightly gripping the cane.
Ren Xiya squashed out her cigarette, pulled open the car door: "I still don’t believe it. Actually, I’ve always had a question I wanted to ask you."
"What?"
"Did you really trust him when you made that choice for him?"
"..."
No, she never trusted Gong Chen.
Ren Xiya clearly saw the answer in her eyes, blandly said: "I’m leaving, goodbye."
Lin Zhiyi stood there blankly, watching her leave.
...
A month swiftly passed by.
Lin Zhiyi still went to the hospital for rehabilitation training as usual.
After switching doctors, the new treatment plan was very effective for her.
Now, her hand gripping was no longer a problem, just that she couldn’t perform delicate movements yet, she still needed to continue rehabilitation.
"Miss Lin, it’s done, you can move your hand a bit now," said the doctor.
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi stood up and rubbed her fingers.
The doctor continued: "Doctor Li comes every two days to inquire about your condition, he is more anxious than you."
Lin Zhiyi paused, smiled and said: "I will go thank him later."
Leaving the rehabilitation room, Lin Zhiyi went straight upstairs to Li Huan’s office.
When she knocked on the door, Li Huan seemed not to notice, so when she pushed the door and entered, she just caught Li Huan on a video call.
"Are you doing okay now?"
"Doctor Li..."
Lin Zhiyi and Li Huan spoke almost at the same time.
Upon seeing Lin Zhiyi, Li Huan was obviously flustered, and even dropped his phone on the floor while turning off the screen.
He hurriedly picked up the phone, clicking his tongue, "You scared me."
Lin Zhiyi had never seen him like this, and curiously said, "Who are you video calling? It seems so secretive."
"Just a patient, I have to protect the patient’s privacy," Li Huan emphasized.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t ask further, instead she changed the subject, "I heard you’ve been quite concerned about me, thanks."
"We are friends, it’s normal to be concerned." Li Huan glanced at the time, "Have you eaten yet? Want to join me? I ordered some dishes to be delivered here."
As he was speaking, someone knocked on the door.
"Doctor Li, your dishes have arrived."
The staff member from the small restaurant at the entrance of the hospital placed the packaged dishes on the table.
Li Huan paid and then called Lin Zhiyi to sit down.
"Try the braised carp."
Upon hearing ’carp’, Lin Zhiyi looked towards the nearby fish tank.
Finally, they were back to the old variety of ornamental fish.
"All eaten up?" Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but smirk. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Zhou Zhao enjoyed it the most, unfortunately, Chen Jin missed out..."
As he spoke, Li Huan realized he had misspoken.
He hurriedly covered it up: "Let’s eat first."
After speaking, he opened the bag and arranged the dishes on the table.
Lin Zhiyi thought since she was going to head home to cook anyway, she might as well just eat with Li Huan.
Later, she would order him a cup of coffee as a thanks for the meal.
As she was dividing the dishes, Li Huan just opened the lid of the braised carp, and a strong scent wafted up.
Lin Zhiyi immediately frowned.
"What’s wrong?" Li Huan asked.
"Is it not cooked well? The smell seems off," Lin Zhiyi said as she rubbed her nose.
Li Huan turned the fish over with chopsticks, clicking his tongue: "What a way to do business, they put the slightly burnt side downwards. But your nose is really sharp; I didn’t smell that."
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment, "Probably because I have been cooking myself recently, my cooking skills have returned."
Li Huan smiled and suggested she try the other dishes.
Midway through the meal, Li Huan hesitated and then asked, "Recently... are things okay with Mr. Sang?"
Lin Zhiyi took a couple of bites of rice and nodded, "Pretty good, our personalities are quite similar, we get along well."
She and Sang Li didn’t break up in the end.
In a month without disturbances, the two of them found their time together very comfortable.
Gradually, Lin Zhiyi forgot some things.
Sang Li wasn’t someone to drag things out; if he said he didn’t mind, he absolutely wouldn’t bring it up. If it mattered, he wouldn’t force himself or others.
"That’s good to hear," Li Huan’s expression seemed a little odd.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Zhiyi looked up at him.
"It’s just... nothing, if you think it’s good, then it’s good."
Li Huan bowed his head and continued eating.
After finishing the meal, Lin Zhiyi helped him clean up a bit and ordered a latte on her phone for him before preparing to leave.
Li Huan called out to her, "Won’t you sit for a bit longer? It’s my break time now anyway."
"No thanks, I still have some things to do."
"What things?"
"I sweated a lot during training today, I have an outing planned with Mr. Sang this afternoon, I need to go home to shower and get ready," Lin Zhiyi helplessly pointed to her sportswear.
Li Huan’s eyes darkened and he didn’t say anything.
Lin Zhiyi left the office.
As the office door slowly closed, Li Huan picked up the phone secretly standing in the corner of the cabinet.
Looking at the man on the screen, Li Huan didn’t speak for a long time.
Finally, unable to bear it, he said, "You saw her and heard her voice, do you feel better now?"
"Hmm."
The man’s voice was low and weary.
"When will you be back?"
"Soon."
