Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051: Flirting Without Taking Responsibility

After exchanging a few quips, Gong Chen and Sang Li got down to business.

Gong Chen said, "The person you mentioned indeed attracted quite a few companies, and many of these companies are your arch rivals."

Business always has its adversaries.

Though interests may barely keep the veneer of peace.

But once bigger interests appear, you never know at whom those sharp arrows will be aimed.

Sang Li already could make a few guesses.

In recent years, he had been close with Gong Chen, and these people never dared make any decisions.

Now that Gong Chen had faked his death and left the Gong Family, these people probably couldn’t wait any longer.

Gong Chen continued, "There’s also something interesting."

Sang Li looked at Gong Chen, feeling that the next words were of true significance. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"What is it?"

"You mentioned before that Sister Meng has ties in Hai City. Since you were being watched and couldn’t investigate deeply, I did it for you. You’ll be very surprised who Sister Meng came to see in Hai City."

With that, Gong Chen tapped open a photo on his phone.

Sang Li stared at the photo in astonishment.

"It’s actually her?"

"Yes, exactly her. So I speculate Sister Meng is someone she arranged by Chu Yin’s side. She knows about Chu Yin’s existence, both of you need to be careful," Gong Chen reminded.

Sang Li hadn’t expected that person to have started planning so early.

"Third Young Master, thank you."

"I just don’t want Zhiyi to worry, and I don’t want you to end up lonely. Your sister saved me; if you’re doing well, she would know in the afterlife."

When it came to Sang Ran, Gong Chen and Sang Li had already come to terms.

Back in the living room, a few individuals were already chatting openly.

Sang Li suggested going to a restaurant for dinner, and the group got up to go downstairs.

While putting on her shoes, Chu Yin realized she had forgotten her phone.

Nowadays, phones were too numerous — a work phone and a personal phone.

Her personal phone had eavesdropping software installed on it,

so Sang Li got her a new phone.

It was now the one she was using.

Chu Yin turned back to her room and found Sang Li, who had just entered the study, standing on the balcony smoking.

He had been smoking quite frequently lately.

Was he encountering some troubles?

Could it be because of her?

Chu Yin wanted to ask directly but just as Sang Li answered a call, she could only retreat from the study.

Holding her phone, she waited for a while at the entryway.

Sang Li hung up and came over.

"Why didn’t you go down?"

"I was waiting for you," Chu Yin simply said.

"Is there something?" Sang Li asked, glancing at her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chu Yin asked, "Have I made things difficult for you?"

Sang Li pressed the elevator button.

"Don’t overthink. I just have a lot of work."

"I’ll handle other matters myself. You focus on work," Chu Yin said.

"Chu Yin..."

"That’s it."

Chu Yin briskly walked into the elevator without saying another word.

Until they both exited the elevator, there were two empty spaces between them.

Sang Li sighed.

This scene fell right into Xu Huihui’s eyes.

A colleague said, "That group earlier seemed pretty close with this woman. It looks like this woman isn’t related to Mr. Sang at all."

Another colleague said, "Even if not, it doesn’t matter — just look at the distance between them and their actions. Clearly, they were arguing."

Xu Huihui stopped them, "Don’t talk nonsense."

But she stared at the departing silhouettes, a smile lurking in her eyes.

...

After dining at the restaurant, night had fallen.

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen took Qi Rong straight back to the hotel to rest.

Chu Yin followed Sang Li back, not speaking the whole way.

In fact, during dinner, Lin Zhiyi realized there was a delicate atmosphere between the two, so she intentionally sent messages to Zhou Zhao, Chen Jin, and Gong Chen.

She asked them to get Sang Li to drink a bit more.

A few seconds later, she quickly stepped into the apartment.

Originally wanting to help.

She saw Xu Huihui help Sang Li onto the sofa, then skillfully take out a thin blanket from the nearby cabinet.

"Drinking too much requires preventing chills. I’ll make some sober soup."

Xu Huihui turned to pour a cup of water for Chu Yin.

"You have some water, I’ll get busy now."

"..."

Chu Yin pursed her lips, watching Xu Huihui go into the kitchen, seeing her surprisingly familiar demeanor in Sang Li’s place.

Seemed like it wasn’t her first time here.

Sang Li lay on the sofa with one foot curled up, looking half-drunk and half-awake.

A slipper was right by the sofa.

Chu Yin kicked it underneath the sofa with her foot.

"Mr. Sang, enjoy slowly — I won’t disturb you."

She turned around to leave.

Suddenly, a hand appeared at her waist, pulling her over.

Chu Yin couldn’t keep her balance and fell onto Sang Li.

Sang Li pinned her firmly, not allowing her to move.

"What are you doing? Your housekeeper Xu is still here?"

"Weren’t you saying you don’t want me to manage you?" Sang Li countered, "Now, what’s this?"

"I... Then let’s not interfere with each other. Let go."

"Chu Yin, I noticed you especially like flirting without taking responsibility." Sang Li narrowed his eyes.

"That’s not true! Clearly, you... um."

Chu Yin’s head was pressed down by Sang Li’s hand.

She widened her eyes at the man in front of her.

He was usually a very restrained and courteous person. How could he possibly do such a thing with someone around?

The sounds of cooking came from the kitchen; Chu Yin nervously clutched tightly onto Sang Li’s shirt.

Until she found it hard to breathe.

Sang Li slowly loosened his grip, speaking with thick alcohol breath, "Do you still want to sever ties?"
