Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 888

Chapter 888: Chapter 888: Will You Marry Me?

Liu He suddenly snapped back to reality and shook her head somewhat guiltily.

"It’s nothing, don’t overthink it."

"Mom, don’t I know you well?" Lin Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.

Liu He gave an awkward smile, "Then I’ll be straight with you. I hope you and Lao San get married as soon as possible, even if it’s without a wedding ceremony, at least get the certificate? Otherwise, I can’t feel at ease."

Lin Zhiyi was about to persuade her but was held by her hand.

"Zhiyi, I know what you’re going to say. You’re doing great now and don’t need to rely on Lao San, but you have to think about me. You’re my daughter, following Lao San so uncertainly and going through so much, I’m always living in fear."

As she spoke, Lin Zhiyi could even feel the subtle tremor in Liu He’s hand.

Apparently, recent events had indeed frightened her.

"Mom..."

"Zhiyi, think about it carefully. Even though you and Lao San have faced many hardships together, if either of you runs into trouble one day and can’t even sign for each other, would you really leave life and death to be decided by someone else?"

"..."

The sudden mention of this left Lin Zhiyi a bit dazed.

Liu He wasn’t wrong; her and Gong Chen’s identities were complicated, and they must have some assurance.

In times of need, either of them should be able to sign for the other.

Moreover, there’s Xingxing between them; direct family signatures are the most effective and straightforward.

After thinking for a few seconds,

Lin Zhiyi squeezed Liu He’s hand, "Mom, I understand what you mean. I’ll discuss it with Third Young Master when I get back. I’ll listen to you, get the certificate first."

Hearing this, Liu He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’m glad you’ve figured it out. I know the past has been a thorn in your heart, but if you plan to continue living with him, some compromises must be made. The same goes for both of you."

Lin Zhiyi was a bit surprised at Liu He’s sudden foresight.

"Mom, how did you suddenly think of this?"

"I saw it on a TV drama," Liu He replied without thinking.

She seemed to have an answer ready in her mind.

Actually, after meeting with Yang Jingwei, she hadn’t been sleeping well.

Every night, those words from Yang Jingwei haunted her.

They’ve been friends for so many years and knew each other well.

She always felt that Yang Jingwei wouldn’t just let things go.

So she could only settle Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen before any unease happened.

After chatting with Lin Zhiyi, Liu He took the child and left.

Before leaving, Liu He said, "I see that tomorrow is an auspicious day, so getting the certificate won’t take any time."

"Mom, you’re really rushing it."

"The longer the night, the more dreams," Liu He said.

"Got it."

After seeing Liu He off, Lin Zhiyi sat at the table, pondering her words.

The computer desktop had a calendar displayed, and it indeed showed tomorrow was a good day.

A day suitable for marriage.

Lin Zhiyi picked up her phone, feeling tempted to ask Gong Chen his thoughts.

But in the end, she put down the phone.

It seemed too hasty.

She now had the confidence to discuss marriage with Gong Chen.

But she didn’t want to be in a passive position.

She wanted to be the one who could both start and end things.

With that thought, Lin Zhiyi got up and opened the safe.

From inside, she took out a red velvet box.

Opening the box, she smiled while looking at the item inside.

...

At night.

After dinner, Lin Zhiyi played with Xingxing for a while.

Xingxing said she wanted to draw a picture for a classmate’s birthday, so Zhiyi exited the art room.

Looking at the lit study, Lin Zhiyi took the box from her pocket.

She knocked and entered the study.

Gong Chen was bent over dealing with some documents and asked indifferently, "What’s up?"

"Are you very busy?"

Lin Zhiyi reluctantly walked to his side.

Gong Chen stopped his work, looked up, and said, "Not busy. What’s the matter?"

Lin Zhiyi hid the box behind her back, unsure of how to start.

Gong Chen glanced at her arm subtly and said, "Tired? Get some rest early then."

Just like that?

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip.

Couldn’t he at least show a bit of curiosity?

They weren’t even married yet, and the passion was already gone.

Lin Zhiyi sighed deliberately, "Alright, then I’ll go back to the room first."

The next day.

Auspicious for marriage.

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen stood at the marriage registration office, exchanging glances as they signed the documents.

Gong Chen urged, "Lin Zhiyi, hurry and sign. All my people are outside the door; you can’t back out now."

Lin Zhiyi turned to look and saw not only Chen Jin but also three bodyguards. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He was being too extravagant.

After signing, queuing, and getting the seal stamped, the freshly obtained marriage certificate was in hand.

Lin Zhiyi’s mind went blank for a few seconds.

"Is it really that easy to get married?" she asked.

"Yeah. Now I’m yours," Gong Chen replied.

Lin Zhiyi hadn’t expected him to say that.

It seemed he truly planned to live off her.

Lin Zhiyi laughed lightly, "Let’s go. Don’t you have a meeting later? I need to meet a client too."

As she was about to leave, Gong Chen pulled her back.

"I know you don’t want to go public yet, so tonight let’s have a little celebration with a few people at Yi Garden."

"Okay." Lin Zhiyi nodded.

"I’ll drop you at the studio."

...

At the studio.

After getting out of the car, Lin Zhiyi waved at Gong Chen.

Watching the ring sparkle in the sunlight, a warm feeling washed over her heart.

As soon as she entered the office, she saw that Liu He was already there.

"Did you get the certificate?" she asked anxiously.

Lin Zhiyi directly took out the marriage certificate.

"Mom, can you rest easy now?"

"Good, good, I’m relieved." Liu He caressed the marriage certificate, her eyes reddening.

Lin Zhiyi found her reaction somewhat strange.

Just as she was about to speak, the assistant knocked and came in.

"Miss Lin, Second Madam, there’s someone at the door looking for you, he said..."

"What is it?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

"He said he’s Second Madam’s former boyfriend," the assistant said helplessly.
