Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 251: Take the Initiative to Kiss Him

Late-night snacks weren’t necessary.

Li Huan and Chen Jin had barely finished half a bag of sunflower seeds before they wobbled out with the dishes.

One look and, well.

They dawdled for ages, and all we got were shredded potatoes, tomato and eggs, and garlic prawns.

A few of the prawns were even charred.

Li Huan clicked his tongue: "I think you two must have already eaten your fill."

Third Young Master put down his chopsticks and said, "The door is over there; you don’t need any help finding your way out."

"Don’t be like that, I was just kidding." Li Huan hurriedly took the bowl and said sincerely, "Lin Zhiyi, thanks for the hospitality."

Perhaps it was because Li Huan was there, but Lin Zhiyi felt that the house didn’t seem so cold anymore.

She smiled and said, "Let’s eat."

Halfway through the meal, Lin Zhiyi took out her phone.

"My mom said they found the person who stole from her, and she’s been discharged from the hospital. She said New Year’s is in three days and wants me to see her. It’s good timing since I have some work to wrap up too."

"What work?" Li Huan couldn’t help but ask.

"The wedding rings for Third Young Master and Miss Sang are ready," said Lin Zhiyi indifferently.

Li Huan closed his eyes, almost wanting to slap himself in the face.

He quickly tried to make amends: "It’s totally normal for the Second Madam to miss you during the New Year’s holiday, plus, she’s been through so much. It’ll surely be comforting for her to have her daughter by her side."

After he finished speaking, Lin Zhiyi looked towards Gong Chen.

Gong Chen was as undisturbed as still water, as if the conversation about the wedding ring never happened.

"I’ll take you to the Gong Family’s place when it’s time."

Lin Zhiyi hmm’d in response.

The matter of the wedding ring turned the page as if it never existed.

After the meal, Li Huan left to return to the hospital.

Gong Chen received a phone call and was ready to leave.

As for who the call was from, they both knew without saying.

Lin Zhiyi walked him out to the door, and as she watched him get into the car, she suddenly called out to him.

"Third Young Master."

Gong Chen turned around, and Lin Zhiyi threw herself into his arms, stood on her tiptoes, and gently planted a kiss on him, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

This was the first time Lin Zhiyi initiated a kiss with him.

He was momentarily taken aback, his eyes darkened slightly, and he raised his hand to support her head, deepening the kiss.

After a moment, he stopped and it took him a long while to steady his breath.

"Go back inside, it’s too cold out here."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi turned and returned to the porch, watching him leave with complex and resolute emotions in her eyes.

Three days later, New Year’s.

Lin Zhiyi was awakened by the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, feeling somewhat nervous.

The man behind her seemed to sense her unease and held her even tighter.

She was taken aback for a moment, then turned to see Gong Chen.

He was dressed in pajamas, lazily leaning against the pillow.

Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise, "When did you get here?"

Didn’t he say yesterday that he wouldn’t be coming?

With his eyes still closed, Gong Chen’s voice was low and husky: "Two hours ago. You were sleeping, so I didn’t wake you."

Two hours ago?

Wasn’t that the middle of the night? freewёbnoνel.com

"You didn’t need to rush over here," Lin Zhiyi said softly, looking at him.

The next second, Gong Chen opened his eyes and met her gaze.

Both of them looked at each other for a long time without speaking.

He focused on her and brushed her hair gently with his hand: "Lin Zhiyi, Happy New Year."

Emotions welled up in Lin Zhiyi’s heart, and she smiled sincerely: "Happy New Year."

"There’s a gift for you on the dressing table in the walk-in wardrobe. I’ll sleep a bit more and take you to the Gong Mansion at noon."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi propped herself up but didn’t immediately get out of bed; instead, she spent some time gazing at Gong Chen’s sleeping face.

Suddenly, the man’s palm rested on the hem of her skirt, his voice deep and low: "Lin Zhiyi, it’s not good for your health to be a vegetarian for too long..."

Before he could finish, a pillow hit him.

"Shut up."

Lin Zhiyi got out of bed with a red face.

Gong Chen turned over with a faint smile on his lips.

After washing up, Lin Zhiyi saw new clothes, new jewelry, and a red envelope in the walk-in wardrobe.

She touched the red envelope and smiled faintly.

But as she smiled, her vision started to blur.

She hadn’t expected him to remember.

In memory, Gong Chen always gave her the first red envelope every New Year.

During those days of unrequited love, she looked forward to this day the most.

Because she could talk a lot with him.

It made her feel as if she were under the illusion that she was very special.

However, today, all that was coming to an end.

Lin Zhiyi clasped the red envelope, and with a bowed head, tear-stains bloomed on it.

She covered her mouth for fear that any sound would alert Gong Chen to her presence.

An hour later, she had changed into the clothes and jewelry Gong Chen had given her.

A long red coat with a large lapel and a long belt hanging at her side, festive and beguiling.

Paired with a lace pearl necklace, it added a vintage touch.

When Gong Chen came downstairs, Lin Zhiyi was just serving breakfast.

"I was just about to call you to eat," she said with a smile, pointing to the food on the table.

Gong Chen slowly sat down, "So much?"

Lin Zhiyi moved her chair closer and sat beside him, "New Year should be a bit lavish. I made it according to your tastes, try it."

Gong Chen looked at the food piled before him, squeezed her chin gently, and spoke in a low voice, "Did you ’drug’ the food?"

Lin Zhiyi didn’t struggle, pouted, and said, "I’ll eat it myself."

Just as she turned her head, he turned her face back to him.

"Why don’t you add some, I should eat some ’flesh’ for once."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi lifted a spoonful of food and put it into his mouth.

How had she never realized he was this kind of person before?

After breakfast, Gong Chen stood up to clear the dishes, but Lin Zhiyi was one step ahead of him.

"I’ll do it, you shouldn’t enter the kitchen on the first day of the new year."

"Is that a thing?"

"It is where I’m from. Come on, my mom’s been hurrying me several times already."

Lin Zhiyi pushed Gong Chen toward the door and glanced at the kitchen as she closed it.

She silently said goodbye.

Gong Mansion.

Every New Year, the mansion became very lively.

Luxury cars lined from inside all the way to the road leading to the park outside, and in order to facilitate New Year’s gatherings, the Gong Family’s park was also closed to the public during these days.

Those visible were mostly relatives of the Gong Family.

Each dressed in lavish clothing, wealthy and noble.

Lin Zhiyi, somewhat anxious, looked at the person next to her, "Maybe I should get out here. To prevent people from gossiping if they see me."

Her status had not escaped gossip from these relatives.

Gong Chen raised his wrist and checked the time, "No need."

His words did not soothe Lin Zhiyi; on the contrary, the closer they got to the gate, the more nervous she became.

She wasn’t worried about these relatives; she was worried about being seen by Sang Ran.

She still couldn’t face Sang Ran as if there was nothing to it.

"She went to pick up Sang Li," Gong Chen frowned, seeing through Lin Zhiyi’s thoughts.

"Mm."

Lin Zhiyi sighed in relief.

When people saw Gong Chen’s car, they all gave way.

After the car stopped, Lin Zhiyi instinctively wanted to flee quickly.

Gong Chen held onto her, "Wait for me in the car tonight, we’ll go back together."

Go back?

There was no going back.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t answer, just looked up at him.

"The old man probably hasn’t cooled off towards me. If he gives me a hard time, will you stand up for me?"

"He won’t," Gong Chen said, his gaze deep.

"But if he does, will you?"

"I don’t make hypothetical promises," Gong Chen said indifferently.

"All right."

Lin Zhiyi lowered her eyes and smiled, masking the self-mockery and sarcasm at the bottom of her gaze.

How could Gong Chen possibly make promises to her?

She felt her actions were completely superfluous.

At that moment, Liu He walked out of the house.

Lin Zhiyi pushed the door open and got out of the car, "I’ll go find my mom. Goodbye."

Gong Chen turned his head to look, only able to see Lin Zhiyi’s slender back.

Although brightly red, it had the feeling that it could disappear at any moment.
