Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 295: Please Stay Away from Her

Looking at the person in front of her, Lin Zhiyi’s smile faded, and she immediately seemed somewhat constrained.

Sang Ran leaned on Gong Chen as they stood beside the car and said with a smile, "Zhiyi, I haven’t seen you smile so happily for a long time."

"Is that right, Third Young Master?"

She tugged at Gong Chen’s sleeve.

Gong Chen swept coldly over Lin Zhiyi and Sang Li without a word.

Sang Ran’s expression stiffened slightly, and she pursed her lips.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi immediately changed the subject, "Why have you come?"

Sang Ran explained, "I saw the news this morning that there was a stalker here, and I was a bit worried about you, so I asked Third Young Master to come over with me to check on you. We didn’t expect to run into Zhou Zhao downstairs. He said that the two of you had gone out early in the morning."

Suddenly, the only sound was the wind.

"Xiao Ran!" Sang Li frowned and interrupted, his expression unmistakably colder.

Sang Ran’s face paled, gripping her purse tightly.

Her words were understood by Lin Zhiyi, and everyone else too.

Sang Ran was here to see if she and Sang Li had slept together.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyi felt as bare as someone stripped of her clothes and spied on, extremely embarrassed.

In her hand, the bag that clearly held three tomatoes felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, twisting her fingers till they were nearly broken.

She could sense that Sang Ran did not dare to look at her, like a guilty child who had done something wrong.

Lin Zhiyi bit her inner lip, using the pain to calm herself down, just about to speak and explain when Sang Ran’s body weakened and she fell into Gong Chen’s arms.

Gong Chen skillfully took out a medicine box from her bag and fed her several pills.

Sang Ran was still weak after taking the pills.

Gong Chen put away his cane and picked her up in a bridal carry without regard for his own condition.

"It’s too cold outside, let’s go inside and talk."

"I can walk myself, your body is not yet recovered," Sang Ran struggled.

Gong Chen didn’t put her down, nor did he ask Lin Zhiyi, directly taking her into the building.

Lin Zhiyi was briefly stunned.

At this moment, Sang Li reached out and took the bag from her hand, rubbing her red-palmed hand.

"Zhiyi, I’m sorry, Xiao Ran she..."

"It’s okay, go and see how she is," Lin Zhiyi said trying to sound relaxed.

Sang Li had helped her, and she didn’t want to make things uncomfortable for everyone.

He hummed in response and quickened his pace into the building.

Lin Zhiyi hadn’t had the chance to sigh in relief when someone sidled up from the left.

Zhou Zhao said with a smile, "Miss Lin, see how gentle our young master is, the best there is."

Lin Zhiyi was just about to reply when someone approached from the right.

Chen Jin said seriously, "The ones that croak are frogs, not young masters. People should be more composed."

Lin Zhiyi looked at the two of them and directly fished out two apples from her bag and stuffed them into their hands.

"When did the two of you change your surname to Wang?"

After saying that, she followed in Sang Li’s footsteps.

Zhou Zhao bit into the apple, sizing up Chen Jin.

Chen Jin couldn’t be bothered with him, turning to leave with his apple only to feel his belt tighten suddenly.

With a swish, Zhou Zhao actually pulled off his belt.

Zhou Zhao, with the apple in his mouth, directly fastened Chen Jin’s belt around his own waist, bluntly saying, "Last time you broke my belt, you didn’t compensate me for medical expenses, so at least compensate me for the belt, right? This one looks expensive."

Chen Jin mustered all his upbringing at this moment, hurling the apple in his hand.

Zhou Zhao caught it, "Thanks, how did you know I wouldn’t be satisfied with just one? Really thoughtful of you, you’re such a loyal friend."

Chen Jin’s temples throbbed.

"Where on earth did Mr. Sang find you?"

"Give me 50,000 and I’ll tell you."

...

As soon as Lin Zhiyi opened the door, Gong Chen passed by her to return home, carefully placing Sang Ran on the couch.

Clasping Gong Chen’s hand, Sang Ran said with a smile, "I’m really fine now, don’t be too nervous."

If it weren’t for the keys still in Lin Zhiyi’s hand, she might have thought she had barged into someone else’s house.

Moments later, Sang Ran finally saw her.

"Zhiyi, sorry, I didn’t startle you, did I?"

"No, you guys go ahead and sit, I’ll go pour you some tea."

Lin Zhiyi put down her keys and bent down to pick up the groceries she had bought from the entryway.

Sang Li directly approached and took the bag from her hand, "I’ll help you."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t refuse, and the two of them entered the kitchen together.

Sitting on the sofa behind them, Sang Ran looked at the figures of the two and smiled at Gong Chen.

"My brother is seriously pursuing a woman for the first time."

Gong Chen looked at her, his brows and eyes full of detachment, and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

Sang Ran bit her lip, reached out to grab the hem of his clothes, but still couldn’t hold him back.

She could only watch the kitchen quietly.

Inside the kitchen,

Lin Zhiyi stared at the kettle, somewhat distracted.

Sang Li glanced at her and asked, "Where are the cups?"

Lin Zhiyi quickly came to her senses, realizing the water was spilling over, and hurriedly wiped it up and placed it on the kettle’s base.

Turning around and seeing that Sang Li hadn’t noticed her little mishap, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Let me..."

Lin Zhiyi hadn’t finished speaking when another figure entered, opened the cupboard, and took out a set of tea service.

"Here."

"Hmm."

Sang Li nodded and reached for the tea service, but couldn’t take it from the other man’s hands.

The two men locked eyes, a silent contest between them.

Lin Zhiyi looked at the tea set and asked, "How long do you two plan to hold this?"

Sang Li looked at Gong Chen’s walking stick, smiled slightly, "Third Young Master, since you’re not in the best condition, let me do it. You go and sit down."

Gong Chen narrowed his eyes, increased his grip on the tea set, then suddenly let go, causing Sang Li to stumble back a couple of steps.

"Since Mr. Sang is so eager to make tea for me, naturally, I must taste it."

Saying so, he started to walk away, pulling Lin Zhiyi with him.

Lin Zhiyi struggled a bit, "What are you doing?"

"If he wants to make tea, let him make it. What are you doing here? Don’t you think it’s cramped?" Gong Chen’s gaze was deep as he looked at her.

Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath and pointed to the kitchen door, "See that door? The two of you... out. I’ll do it myself."

The kitchen was small to begin with; with two grown men crowded in, there was hardly room to turn.

Sang Li put down the tea service, his voice gentle, "Zhiyi, call me if you need anything."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, "Okay."

Gong Chen asked in a low voice, "Is there enough tea here?"

Lin Zhiyi turned around and ignored him.

Sang Li chuckled, leading Gong Chen out of the kitchen and onto the balcony.

Gong Chen looked into the distance, pulling a cigarette from his pocket.

Sang Li took it from him, "I certainly don’t want my sister to be a widow."

Gong Chen played with the lighter in his hand, getting straight to the point, "What was the meaning of sending your assistant to convey that message to me yesterday?"

He knew from the chat records that the words Zhou Zhao said were Sang Li’s intent.

Sang Li leaned back against the balcony, smiling, "For Zhiyi, and for Xiao Ran."

"What right do you have to do it for her?"

"Who is ’she’?" Sang Li responded blandly.

Gong Chen paused with the lighter in his hand.

Sang Li hit him where it hurt, "See, you can’t even say her name outright."

"Third Young Master, I admit that telling you to stop seeing Zhiyi before was selfish on my part. But if it weren’t for Xiao Ran’s sake today, the moment you arrived here, that person from the Gong Family would know, and he wouldn’t let Zhiyi go."

"I know you want to protect her, but there will always be times when you can’t. So please, stay away from her for good."
