Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Third Young Master, You’re Going to Be a Dad

Inside the private box.

Mr. Li’s appreciation for Lin Zhiyi was clear for all to see; he introduced her to everyone he met.

Lin Zhiyi managed to make quite an impression.

Halfway through the banquet, Lin Zhiyi’s phone suddenly rang.

She took it out and glanced at the screen—it was actually Chen Jin.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Zhiyi still excused herself under the pretext of going to the washroom and left the private box.

"Assistant Chen, what’s the matter?"

"Miss Lin, go to Third Young Master’s room immediately, he..."

Ka-ka-ka...zzzzzz...

It sounded like something rolling down from a high place, followed by static interference.

Lin Zhiyi froze for a second before turning and dashing towards the elevator.

Realizing she couldn’t run fast in high heels, she took them off and barefoot, charged into the elevator.

Who knew someone had smoked and carelessly thrown their still lit cigarette into the elevator.

"Ah!"

Lin Zhiyi winced as her foot was scalded, and she was also hit by the elevator door.

But she couldn’t care less about that and, enduring the pain, she pressed the floor button.

All the way there, she ran in an odd posture to outside Gong Chen’s room door.

After banging hard on the door several times, it finally opened.

"Uncle, are you..."

The person opening the door wasn’t Gong Chen, but Song Wanqiu.

She was draped in a silk robe on the outside, but it wasn’t tied tightly, so the nightgown inside was clearly visible.

To call it a nightgown was being kind—it was actually a piece of lingerie.

The deep V-neck was barely covered by two floral lace pieces, and the hem was also lace and semi-transparent.

After noticing Lin Zhiyi’s surprised gaze, Song Wanqiu leisurely pulled her robe closed.

Pretending to be shocked, she said, "I’m so sorry, I was in such a hurry to come out, I didn’t tie it properly. Are you looking for Third Young Master? He’s in the bathroom."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked down and saw the water stains on Song Wanqiu’s legs, evidently she, too, had just come from the bathroom.

As for what they had done, Lin Zhiyi no longer wanted to think about it.

"It’s nothing." She swallowed three times before managing to say these two words.

"I’ll go keep Third Young Master company, by the way, it looks like your foot is injured, I have a band-aid here. After all, I’ll be your elder in the future, so don’t be shy."

Song Wanqiu pulled on her robe, loosening the door to look for the band-aid.

As she turned around, the situation inside the room became apparent.

The floor was littered with clothes and tossed pillows.

And on the pillows hung ladies and men’s underwear, with used condoms even by the trash can.

Lin Zhiyi forcefully averted her gaze, clenching and then unclenching her hands.

Actually, this was nothing special. Gong Chen and Song Wanqiu were betrothed; it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Song Wanqiu handed Lin Zhiyi the band-aid, fully embodying the demeanour of a little aunt: "Be more careful next time. You’re also grown up now; don’t run to your uncle over every little thing."

"I got it."

Lin Zhiyi took the band-aid and turned to leave.

Song Wanqiu curled her lips, closed the door, and walked into the pitch-black bedroom.

After climbing onto the bed, she snuggled into the man’s embrace.

"Third Young Master, I’m here."

The man turned over, pinning her beneath him.

...

Lin Zhiyi limped back to the private box. Seeing her looking so pale, Xue Man hurried over to support her.

"What happened? You just went to the restroom, why do you look as if you’ve lost your soul?"

"Nothing, just twisted my ankle a bit, it hurts." Lin Zhiyi came back to her senses and forced out a slight smile.

"Stop smiling; it’s too awful to look at. Anyway, the dinner is almost over, I’ll take you to rest."

Xue Man frowned, greeted the others, and then helped Lin Zhiyi leave.

Neither of them spoke on the way.

Only Lin Zhiyi’s phone kept ringing over and over.

In the evening, she carried some fruit to the Gong Family’s house. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

A gaze fell squarely on Lin Zhiyi; she knew who it was but didn’t lift her head, continuing to swipe on her phone screen instead.

Liu He quickly tugged at her, whispering a reminder, "Your uncle has arrived, how can you still be playing with your phone?"

Lin Zhiyi continued to scroll on her phone: "I’m dealing with work."

She was indeed handling matters related to the new product launch event; this was her first public activity, and she did not want any mistakes to occur.

Liu He clicked her tongue: "It’s just that Lao San looked for you as soon as he entered."

Lin Zhiyi locked her phone and picked up her teacup to block her mouth: "Mom, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll leave."

Liu He took a sip of tea and muttered, "I just saw it."

After dinner started, many elders were concerned about Gong Chen’s health.

Old Mr. Gong smiled lightly, "Recently, Wanqiu has taken very good care of him, the doctor said he has basically recovered."

Hearing the praise, Song Wanqiu immediately stood up holding a teacup, "This is all part of my duty. Here, I’d like to thank all the elders for their concern, using tea instead of wine."

She always maintained an image of grace and obedience, and her speech was flawless.

Everyone nodded their heads, continually praising her.

Song Wanqiu stood by Gong Chen’s side, greeting everyone like the lady of the house, "Everyone, please enjoy the meal. The dishes are newly developed by our chef."

Everyone shared knowing looks.

At that moment, a servant brought in a dish of steamed seafood, and as soon as Song Wanqiu set down her teacup, she retched.

"Sorry, my stomach might be a bit upset, uh..."

She rushed out of the dining room, straight to the restroom.

It was a while before she returned with flushed cheeks.

"My apologies," Song Wanqiu said as she wiped the corner of her lips, her eyes revealing a trace of shyness.

An experienced auntie, seeing this, immediately chuckled, "It looks like our family is going to have a joyous occasion."

With a thud, Old Mr. Gong set down his wine glass and stood up smiling.

"Today I invited everyone not only to chase away the bad luck for Gong Chen but indeed to share a joyous occasion."

"Wanqiu is pregnant, and I’m about to be a grandfather again."

Song Wanqiu quickly walked to Gong Chen’s side and took his arm, "I was planning to wait a little longer to tell you the good news, but it seems the old man couldn’t wait. Third Young Master, you’re going to be a father."

Gong Chen gazed at her, not saying a word.

Suddenly, there was the sound of something shattering in the corner.
