Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Don’t Let the Gift Wait Too Long

The one who suggested the gathering was our roommate, Lai’er, Fang Lai’er.

After she was hired by the company, she almost had to go back home to get married because she had no money for networking.

In the past life, Fang Lai’er went home for half a year and was beaten by her husband every day, even causing a miscarriage.

She was actually a person with a bitter life.

Fang Lai’er, Lai’er, came from a family that favored boys over girls.

But she wasn’t the eldest in the family, she was the second child.

She had an elder brother who was three years older and a younger brother who was two years younger.

Her status in the family was predictable.

According to her, she was able to go to university thanks to someone else’s aid.

At that time, Lin Zhiyi was worried that Fang Lai’er would repeat her past mistakes if she went back home, so she gave her money to help with the company.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyi didn’t misjudge her character; she paid the money back after half a year.

Later, Lin Zhiyi asked her for help as well.

Now, she’s gained some reputation in the fashion industry.

As she was thinking this, the other two roommates appeared for a chat.

"That’s great, I just have something for you guys."

The always naive Shuangshuang sent several emojis.

Dazhu said, "Big sister, you post three statuses a day about your wedding preparations, how could we not know what you want to give?"

Only then did Lin Zhiyi come to her senses; Shuangshuang was getting married soon.

The groom was a client of Shuangshuang’s company, and the two of them had been in a relationship for three years before deciding to get married.

Lin Zhiyi had seen many of her photos of the wedding preparations.

She had been thinking about what wedding gift to give her, but recently got too busy and forgot.

Shuangshuang sent a laughing emoji.

"So it’s settled then, why not tomorrow evening? Today my husband and I are cleaning the new house, probably won’t make it in time."

Dazhu replied, "I’m all by myself, so anytime works for me."

"I’m also relatively free recently, let’s see when Zhiyi is available." Fang Lai’er replied.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to be a wet blanket, so she replied with an okay.

...

Su He Bay.

As soon as Lin Zhiyi entered the door, she received a text from Gong Chen.

"I have a business dinner tonight, no need to wait for me."

"Okay."

Putting down her phone, Xingxing heard the sound and ran over.

"Mom."

Lin Zhiyi reached out and picked her up, "Were you good today?"

Liao Yi walked out, "Good, we also painted a lot of pictures together, I think Xingxing is very talented."

"You just like to flatter."

Lin Zhiyi pretended to be indifferent, but felt sweet inside, and couldn’t resist kissing her daughter.

At this moment, the maid who cooked and tidied the room daily came out from the kitchen.

"Miss Lin, Third Young Master said he won’t be back to eat, you can start eating, the ribs soup is best consumed while it’s hot."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi placed Xingxing in the baby chair and sat down with Liao Yi to have the soup.

Liao Yi took a sip, gave a thumbs up, "Auntie, this is so delicious, completely different from the usual ribs soup."

The maid smiled, "Third Young Master said that Miss Lin is sensitive to cold, so I added some herbs, but don’t worry, I made a separate soup for Xingxing."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked at the bowl of soup and felt her body warm up.

Liao Yi clicked her tongue and said, "If I hadn’t met Third Young Master, I wouldn’t believe the living King Yan could be so considerate."

"If you don’t control your mouth, no one can save you in the future." Lin Zhiyi smiled faintly.

Liao Yi immediately fell silent.

After the meal, Liao Yi and the maid tidied up and left.

Lin Zhiyi played with Xingxing for a while, and when she saw her yawning, she bathed her and put her to bed.

By the time she finished washing up and lay down in bed, it was already ten o’clock.

She took out her phone, and her conversation with Gong Chen was still stuck on the business dinner.

What kind of dinner goes on this late? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Lin Zhiyi deleted and retyped several messages, but in the end, didn’t send anything.

Putting down her phone, she noticed Shuangshuang had sent the restaurant location for tomorrow in the roommate chat.

It wasn’t until the clear scent pressed against her back that she reacted, nearly dropping the spoon.

She turned to find the approaching man, a bit surprised.

His black robe was loosely open, the snug upper body still carried a faint shower mist.

Below, he wore matching pants, loosely hanging on his waist, partially revealing a sexy pelvic V-line.

Lin Zhiyi paused, "You... you’re not drunk?"

Gong Chen held her waist, "I’m not dumb; did you really think I got drunk? Three parts drunk was enough, the rest I just spilled on myself."

Lin Zhiyi instinctively clutched the spoon, "Then earlier with uncle and I..."

"I heard it." He lowered his head, speaking deeply, "Don’t overthink it, indeed it’s for you and Xingxing, but not just that, give me some time to handle these things."

"Okay, but uncle isn’t wrong either, if you’re too hasty, it will just make things worse for you."

"Worried about me?"

Gong Chen always picked the parts he liked from what she said.

Lin Zhiyi was speechless, "Xingxing just accepted you, if something happens to you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was pinned by Gong Chen against the refrigerator.

"Hmm?"

Lin Zhiyi knew that unless he heard the answer he wanted, he wouldn’t let her go.

She was thinking of what to say when Gong Chen’s phone, placed on the island, lit up.

"Third Young Master, thanks for the hospitality, I’ve prepared a small gift for you as well, Room 2603 at Guang Ji Hotel."

Lin Zhiyi instantly knew what kind of "small gift" it was.

A woman.

Lin Zhiyi pushed Gong Chen away, "Third Young Master, hurry up, don’t keep the gift waiting too long."

Gong Chen frowned.

"Zhiyi..."

Lin Zhiyi placed the spoon in his hand, "Third Young Master, drink more hangover soup, so you won’t underperform."

With that, she turned and returned to the bedroom.

When Gong Chen came back to the bedroom, Lin Zhiyi immediately put down her phone and hid under the quilts.

As he approached, he saw her lit screen filled with someone else’s wedding preparation items.
