Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1162: Another Self

As Chen Jin’s words were spoken, everyone looked towards Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi lowered her gaze, gently stroking the watch on her wrist that Gong Chen had personally put on her.

She then touched her ring, then the necklace at her chest.

Her entire being was filled with Gong Chen’s presence.

Yet, when he collapsed in front of her, he didn’t leave even a word for her.

She dared not think of anything now, her mind was a complete blank.

After a long while, she clenched her hands, forcing herself to return to her senses through the pain.

If something happened to Gong Chen, what would she do?

No, he will definitely be fine.

Lin Zhiyi’s mind was in a fierce battle.

Questioning over and over, denying over and over.

Anxiety and fear intertwined at the bottom of her heart, her stomach churned.

Ugh.

Lin Zhiyi retched and rushed to the bathroom.

After throwing up everything in her stomach, she leaned against the wall and walked out of the bathroom.

Chu Yin and Liao Yi quickly stepped forward to support her.

Ren Xiya handed her a bottle of mineral water: "Are you okay?"

Lin Zhiyi’s throat was blocked by the acidic water, not allowing her to speak a word.

Chu Yin looked up and down at Lin Zhiyi, cautiously asked: "Zhiyi, are you... pregnant?"

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback and lifted her hand to touch her belly.

She gave a bitter smile: "I just found out too, I planned to tell him after the gathering today."

Previously, Gong Chen said that he had undergone a vasectomy just to deceive the Gong Family to prevent some people from having ulterior motives.

After she and Gong Chen got married, except for the recent busy work period, she had deliberately avoided pregnancy.

After the studio developed steadily, neither of them avoided it again.

In Lin Zhiyi’s heart, there was a knot about the child they forgot in their previous life, wondering if there was still fate in this life.

Unexpectedly, the child came quietly.

Lin Zhiyi secretly went to the hospital for a checkup to confirm before planning to tell Gong Chen.

Unexpectedly...

The three of them looked at each other after hearing this.

Chu Yin reached out and hugged her: "Zhiyi, everything will be fine."

At this moment, Zhou Zhao called out.

"The surgery is over."

Lin Zhiyi, ignoring everything else, ran over in a panic.

Pushing the door open, Li Huan and the other doctors came out.

Li Huan looked at Lin Zhiyi, still wearing his mask, eyes filled with helplessness.

"Zhiyi, don’t be anxious yet."

"Just tell me the truth."

Lin Zhiyi clenched her skirt, steadying her mind.

Li Huan slowly took off his mask, lips somewhat chapped.

"Although his vital signs are stable for now, he’s not out of danger yet, and we don’t know when he will be out of danger, maybe just..."

Die.

Lin Zhiyi’s lips trembled slightly.

"He will survive, definitely."

"Let’s first take him to the ward."

"Okay." Lin Zhiyi nodded, but her legs couldn’t move anymore.

Chu Yin stepped forward to support her, accompanying her to see Gong Chen transferred to the ward.

Finally, everyone stood outside the ward, looking inside through the glass.

Li Huan clenched his teeth: "I told him not to play with that fake death game, now it came true!"

Ren Xiya stopped him: "Don’t say nonsense out of haste, Third Young Master will definitely be fine."

Li Huan pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward: "I want to go in and see him."

With the nurse’s help, she put on protective clothing and walked into the ward.

Looking at the pale-faced man, Lin Zhiyi found it hard to recognize him.

Clearly, the person who was joking with her in the morning now seemed like he might break with a gentle touch.

Lin Zhiyi gently sat down, reached out to hold Gong Chen’s hand, cold and hard.

No longer the warm touch.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyi broke down into tears.

"You owe me so much, you can’t just die like this."

"Promise me, will you wake up?"

"I’m begging you..."

Lin Zhiyi pleaded softly, but the person on the bed did not move at all.

She could only press his hand against her own belly.

"Before, you said I had been a mother once, yet I didn’t know I was pregnant again. This time, I am very cautious, and the child came looking for us again."

"Didn’t you say you wanted to live well together with us?"

"Don’t disappoint us again."

Lin Zhiyi stared quietly at Gong Chen.

Everything around fell into silence.

She was waiting for the next second, for Gong Chen to open his eyes and pat her head.

But waiting and waiting, there was no response from him.

Lin Zhiyi leaned against his arm, closing her eyes.

...

In the darkness, Gong Chen opened his eyes, surrounded by bright spring light.

He didn’t even have time to think about how he was stabbed by Yu Mei in the parking lot, yet now stood at the school gate.

The gate of Lin Zhiyi’s school.

And there he was, a younger version of himself approaching.

Along with a younger Chen Jin.

"Third Young Master, I asked the school, and they said classes ended early today. Miss Lin had already left. Her classmates said she was stopped by someone at the school gate, and she ran in that direction."

Gong Chen furrowed his brows and turned in the direction Lin Zhiyi left.

Sure enough, he caught up with Lin Zhiyi.

She was pulling her backpack straps, head down, just walking, followed by several kids with yellow hair on bicycles.

When the flower blooms, many come attracted by the scent.

Gong Chen quickly stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Lin Zhiyi, heading towards the car.

Behind them, Chen Jin had stopped the yellow-haired boys with some stern words.

In the car, Lin Zhiyi sat with her shoulders hunched, too afraid to look at him, which was quite endearing.

Unfortunately, she didn’t realize her demeanor had already exposed her thoughts.

Gong Chen looked at her with a faint smile.

While outside, his younger self watched them leave. If Lin Zhiyi looked up, she would have seen the love in his eyes.

Gong Chen had not only once wanted her to realize it, but he was also scared that she would.

A young girl’s thoughts are simple to interpret, but it was different for him.

Watching the car leave, Gong Chen tightly clenched his fists.

In a blink, he was back at the Gong Mansion.

Lin Zhiyi got out of the car, said thank you, and ran off.

Standing outside the car, the real Gong Chen watched her disappearing silhouette, instinctively turning to look in a certain direction.

It was the butler.

He was watching every move happening here.

The butler looked over Gong Chen’s body, staring at his younger self getting out of the car, then turned away.

Gong Chen’s face darkened, recalling what happened that day.

Indeed.

Moments later, the butler came over, telling him the old master wanted to see him.

Gong Chen followed himself into the old master’s study like air.

"Came back with Lin Zhiyi?"

"Yes."

He sat down slowly, his face showing no emotion.

Actually, Gong Chen understood well that the old master was testing him.

He had always thought the Gong Family would not guard against someone like Lin Zhiyi.

He was wrong.

"When did you become so close with her?"

"Not close." He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, saying, "Second Brother asked me to give her a ride back."

"A ride? Since when do you have business near her school?" the old master asked back.

"President Yu." Gong Chen responded blandly, "But it’s finished now. I happen to plan to go abroad for a while, the school’s matters are not yet finished."

The old master paused, implying: "You always have your own ideas and plans. How long do you plan to stay?"

"We’ll see."

He opened his mouth without any attachment.

The old master nodded: "Fine. When are you leaving?"

"Tonight."

Hearing that, the old master’s furrowed brow visibly relaxed.

"Be careful on the road."

"Hmm."
