Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Third Young Master’s Good Fortune

Gong Chen glanced around: "Isn’t it obvious?"

Lin Zhiyi followed his gaze and noticed that there were indeed traces of his living in the bedroom.

There was a wireless charger by the bed, a men’s watch stand on the cabinet, and a men’s robe draped over the back of the chair by the window.

But the house had been thoroughly cleaned inside and out, so she hadn’t noticed it at first.

No wonder she felt something was odd when she entered.

She looked suspiciously at Gong Chen: "Why did you move in here?"

"Someone tricked me into coming here."

As he spoke, Gong Chen looked at the small cabinet in the corner, which had a lock on it.

Lin Zhiyi immediately realized what was inside.

She clutched the handle of her suitcase, feeling uneasy.

She felt like she’d left a cabinet full of ’evidence’.

Lin Zhiyi pretended not to see the cabinet and acted composed: "That’s not what I meant."

Gong Chen’s gaze darkened: "The maid was bribed, wanted to find a place to sleep peacefully."

Although Gong Chen disliked others coming and going in his house, it needed cleaning, and daily necessities needed replenishing.

He was so busy that he would have the maids come regularly to clean.

These maids were chosen by Chen Jin, easily bribed.

Seems there’s only one person.

"Old Mr. Gong?" Lin Zhiyi speculated.

"Yes."

Mentioning Old Mr. Gong, Gong Chen’s face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and even his whole demeanor carried a coldness.

Lin Zhiyi nodded slightly, but suddenly some images flashed in her mind.

In the past life, the maids at the villa seemed to be sent by the Gong Family too.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t have a deep impression of those stern maids.

But in her memory, whenever Gong Chen got close to her and Xingxing, he was either called away by Old Mr. Gong under the pretense of work or interrupted by a call from Song Wanqiu.

It was always just in time.

At first, Lin Zhiyi felt disappointed, but later she got used to it, subconsciously thinking these were just excuses Gong Chen used because he disliked their mother and daughter.

Now it seems the maids at the villa were probably all under Old Mr. Gong’s orders.

What the maids did to her and Xingxing was probably Old Mr. Gong’s intention too.

Back then, Gong Chen was constantly distancing himself from their mother-daughter, and it was easy for the maids to stir up trouble.

But the deeper reason, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t discern.

Gong Chen hid it too well.

But...

Relating it to now, Lin Zhiyi still didn’t quite understand.

"What does this have to do with where you sleep?"

Still have to come here to sleep.

The maids wouldn’t dare disturb Gong Chen’s sleep, right?

After hearing this, Gong Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, leaning against the cabinet as he slowly approached Lin Zhiyi, his voice carrying a hint of allure.

"Really want to know?"

Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to be led around by him, she moved her body: "Don’t want to know anymore."

She wanted to leave, just as she turned around her body was encircled by the man.

"Lin Zhiyi, before, you’d at least coax me a bit for information, now not even willing to say nice things? Say something like you did when you confessed on the beach so I can hear."

"Who confessed!" Lin Zhiyi stared straight at Gong Chen, explaining, "I was just envious of Sang Ran’s family, was that wrong? She has such an amazing and doting brother, who wouldn’t be envious?"

"Amazing? Doting? Brother?" Gong Chen’s hand around her waist gradually tightened as he said gloomily, "No wonder the photos were edited so intimately."

At the mention of photos, Lin Zhiyi had a premonition of impending doom.

She wanted to run but couldn’t move.

The sensation of the man’s fingertips brushing against her waist sent a tingling sensation.

Lin Zhiyi grabbed his hand and said, getting to the point: "Why? I’m listening."

Gong Chen didn’t continue teasing her, releasing her as he stepped back.

"I don’t want to come home to find someone else in my bed."

Lin Zhiyi was startled, instantly linking to a person: "Sang Ran?"

Gong Chen mocked: "Not just."

Images immediately sprang to Lin Zhiyi’s mind.

Gong Chen lifting the covers to find all sorts of women.

The scene was akin to royal consorts waiting.

But Old Mr. Gong really liked Sang Ran, right?

Why secretly arrange other women for Gong Chen?

Lin Zhiyi got up to open the door, showing a rare smile at the person outside.

"Sister Zhou."

"Zhiyi, it’s really you!" Sister Zhou stepped forward and hugged Lin Zhiyi, "You liar, said you’d chat gossip with me often, but went silent after going abroad."

"Sorry, I brought you a gift this time. Come inside, I’ll get it for you." Lin Zhiyi pulled her in.

"No, I better not go in, since Third Young Master is there." Sister Zhou said cautiously.

"He’s gone."

"Gone? Impossible, he would’ve left long ago if he was going."

Sister Zhou realized she spoke too much, pursed her lips.

Lin Zhiyi pursued: "Why?"

Gong Chen left quite decisively earlier.

Sister Zhou was about to speak, then noticed Xingxing coming over, her eyes glued.

"She’s, she is..."

"My daughter." Lin Zhiyi touched Xingxing’s head, "Xingxing, say hi to Auntie."

"Auntie." Xingxing looked up smiling at Sister Zhou.

Sister Zhou stared at Xingxing’s face, then understood everything.

"She’s Third Young Master’s..."

"Yes." Lin Zhiyi nodded.

Sister Zhou pressed her chest to calm herself, then returned to the previous topic.

"Zhiyi, actually you left soon after, and Third Young Master moved in. Old Mr. Gong and Miss Sang both came to invite him, but didn’t even get through the door."

"For over three years, I practically meet Third Young Master by chance every morning."

"Called chance meetings, actually I know he wanted to hear news about you from me. But you were heartless, ignoring me too."

"If not for the downstairs neighbor claiming to see you, I wouldn’t know you’d returned."

Lin Zhiyi froze, taking in Sister Zhou’s words.

Repeated: "He’s been living here all along? Not recently moved?"

"Didn’t he tell you?"

"No." Lin Zhiyi lowered her head.

Sister Zhou examined her expression, immediately recalling Lin Zhiyi’s previous attitude towards Gong Chen.

"This house couldn’t not have his traces, you simply didn’t believe his intentions, right?"
