Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Which One is the Real Li Huan?

Li Huan was the same as before; although he was a doctor, he started speaking as if he was performing a comic dialogue.

His tone was always upbeat, exuding vibrancy and hope.

A far cry from his crazed demeanor when gnawing at each other with Song Wanqiu.

Had Lin Zhiyi not seen through his disguise, she, like most people, would have found him to be a joyful friend.

For a while, she too thought that the sins Li Huan committed in his past life must have been due to Gong Chen’s coercion.

Now, however, it seemed he was a willing participant.

When he operated on Xingxing, he never intended for Xingxing to survive.

Indeed, at that time, the only bond between Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen was their child.

Because of the child, someone like Gong Chen could never abandon his wife and daughter, so he had to find ways to eliminate them while feeling sorry for the illegitimacy of Song Wanqiu and her child.

With Li Huan working with Song Wanqiu both inside and out, Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing had no chance of survival.

Lin Zhiyi could never have imagined that this jolly man would go so far as to help his woman marry off his own son to his good friend.

While Lin Zhiyi was still stunned, Li Huan had already approached her and squatted down, reaching out to lift her foot.

She avoided his hand with a grimace of pain, "Don’t touch me!"

Li Huan was also startled by Lin Zhiyi’s tone; she might not have been friendly before, but she was polite when she spoke.

Such straightforward aversion was a first.

For a moment, Li Huan didn’t know what to do.

It was then that Lin Zhiyi realized she had reacted too intensely.

The people she had to deal with now, whether it was Song Wanqiu or Li Huan, were all experts in disguise.

And their scheming was needless to say.

Just the two of them backed by Gong Chen left her with no chance of winning.

If Li Huan suspected that she knew something, potential dangers could soon follow.

Lin Zhiyi thought it over and quickly winced in pain, "My foot hurts with just a touch, so don’t touch me."

Li Huan snapped back to reality, smiling sincerely, "You should have said that earlier. Don’t move; I’ll take care of it."

Then, he knelt on one knee under Lin Zhiyi’s incredulous stare.

"What are you kneeling for?"

Gong Chen’s cold voice suddenly rang out behind Lin Zhiyi.

Li Huan looked down at his leg, "No, you don’t expect me to kneel on both knees, do you?"

"Move aside," Gong Chen gestured.

"I’m treating her, not proposing. Why the rush?" Li Huan joked.

But he still shifted his knee and leaned over sideways to examine Lin Zhiyi’s injury.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi gripped the wheelchair’s armrest tightly, not understanding why, even if Li Huan was acting, did he have to go this far?

This version of Li Huan perfectly matched the nurses and patients’ appraisal of him.

Warm and considerate.

But his relationship with Song Wanqiu was clearly...

In a daze, Li Huan straightened up, patted the dust off his knees, and looked down at Lin Zhiyi.

"The scrape isn’t serious, just a minor skin tear; the main issue is the sprain. Where did you hurt it?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi knew Li Huan might be probing her.

...

When Lin Zhiyi was wheeled into Li Huan’s office by Chen Jin, her wound had already been treated completely.

The nurse was particularly gentle and professional; she hadn’t felt pain throughout the process.

Even on the way over, the pain in her foot had eased a bit.

Chen Jin stopped the wheelchair next to Li Huan’s desk and handed over the X-ray.

Li Huan, who was having tea with Gong Chen, took the film and habitually held it up high to inspect.

He squinted his eyes, his facial features making strange movements.

"Hang on, my contact lens seems to have slid."

He propped his eyelid with one hand and fiddled with the contact lens, but it still seemed uncomfortable.

Finally, he simply removed it completely and took out a pair of glasses from the drawer to wear.

Lin Zhiyi was slightly taken aback by Li Huan wearing glasses, "You... are nearsighted?"

Actually, Li Huan was quite good-looking and came from a wealthy, prestigious family, with an elite education that gave him an impressive demeanor among any crowd.

After putting on glasses, he lost some of his usual humor; his tall stature in a white lab coat made him look scholarly and pleasing to the eye.

But compared to his wild appearance when with Song Wanqiu, it still felt like something was missing.

Indeed, the roguish charm of a man can be very alluring.

But which side is the real Li Huan?

He couldn’t be... having a split personality, could he?

Li Huan adjusted his glasses, "I’m more than just nearsighted; my prescription is over a thousand, can you believe it? You couldn’t tell because I always wear contacts, so the area around my eyes and the bridge of my nose don’t show much change."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyi froze in place.
