Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 125: Want a Hug?

Over a thousand degrees?

That’s impossible!

When Li Huan was with Song Wanqiu, he was still wearing a leather jacket with the logo of a professional racing team.

A person with such severe nearsightedness could never become a professional race car driver.

For a moment, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t distinguish between truth and falsehood. Could it be Li Huan’s eye shielding technique?

She pondered for a few seconds and looked up at Li Huan, who happened to turn sideways to look at an X-ray, allowing her to see his glasses lenses from another angle.

Through the glasses, everything Lin Zhiyi saw seemed slightly dizzying.

It seemed unlikely that Li Huan was pretending.

Moreover, Gong Chen showed no surprise at his wearing glasses, indicating that he truly had myopia.

Li Huan focused on the X-ray, pointing at something and saying, "Look here, it didn’t reach the bone, no big problem, just a bit awkward walking these days."

Lin Zhiyi followed his gaze and caught sight of his wrist, which was clean, without any traces of a watch.

Yet she clearly remembered Liu Huan telling her that Liu Xinna periodically custom-made watches for people she fancied.

To please the person she liked, she definitely would give something they liked.

If Li Huan truly liked watches, he would wear them all year round, and there would inevitably be marks on his wrist.

After thinking it over, Lin Zhiyi decided to test him and wheeled her chair closer to Li Huan.

Li Huan turned and saw Lin Zhiyi so close to himself that he almost jumped out of his chair in surprise.

"Why are you suddenly so close?"

"I noticed that Doctor Li, you have a beautiful wrist that would look good with a watch."

As she spoke, Lin Zhiyi reached out to touch Li Huan’s wrist to see if he had applied anything there.

But before her hand could touch him, her wheelchair was pulled back.

She immediately turned her head and found Gong Chen, who was sitting behind her chair with his hand on the handle, seemingly having moved from where he was drinking tea.

She tried forcefully to move the wheelchair but couldn’t, so she just pursed her lips and gave up.

Gong Chen, with a knowing look in his eyes, said, "He never wears watches."

Li Huan nodded, touching his wrist, "I don’t like wearing these. Sometimes I need to perform surgeries, and taking it off and on is too much hassle. Besides, good watches aren’t cheap, and if some patients see it, they may get the wrong idea."

Lin Zhiyi stared at his unchanged wrist, her mind in complete disarray.

She couldn’t have been mistaken!

Even if she were mistaken, the doctors at this hospital couldn’t have been.

She distinctly heard another doctor calling him Doctor Li.

Seeing her strange expression, Li Huan asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in my wrist?"

Lin Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat and quickly made up an excuse.

"I like watches, so I couldn’t help but comment when I see a nice wrist."

Li Huan cheerfully lifted his wrist, "My wrist looks good? Indeed, I think so too."

A cold gleam flashed, and he could no longer smile.

He immediately sat upright and coughed twice, "Anyway, there’s nothing serious with you, just don’t strain your leg too much recently, and remember to change the dressing."

"Yes. Thank you, Doctor Li."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t dare to probe further and politely ended the conversation.

Li Huan was also nearly killed by someone’s gaze and hurriedly stood up to see her out, "Take care, I won’t see you out."

Before Lin Zhiyi could say goodbye, the wheelchair was turned around and left Li Huan’s office.

After descending the stairs, the sky had darkened.

The driver saw them and immediately opened the car door.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi propped herself up from the wheelchair, "Uncle, I can take a taxi home by myself. It’s no trouble."

But she had barely taken a step when her feet, as if they weren’t her own, suddenly gave way and she fell to her knees in front of the man.

Fortunately, Gong Chen caught her in time.

How embarrassing!

Lin Zhiyi’s head hung low and she couldn’t lift it for a long time.

A man’s voice, sounding half-amused and deep, came from above her head, "Wishing me a Happy New Year a bit early, aren’t you? Didn’t I give you enough of a bonus this year?"

Lin Zhiyi clenched her teeth but couldn’t refute.

Because ever since she joined the Gong Family, Gong Chen had given her a red envelope every year.

Gong Chen pulled her up by the waist forcing her to look at him.

"You’re quite polite with others."

"Thank you." Lin Zhiyi spoke awkwardly.

"What? I can’t hear you."

Gong Chen suddenly lowered his head, bringing their faces closer.

His warm breath mingled with his scent, causing Lin Zhiyi’s cheeks to heat.

She pushed him, but he held her even tighter, their bodies pressed together with only a car door between them.

Gong Chen watched her silently, seemingly waiting for her to speak.

Lin Zhiyi caught her breath and bit her lip, "Thank you, Uncle."

"Hmm," Gong Chen released her, bracing his arms on the car door, and said indifferently, "Get in the car."

His tone was minimal, but his commanding presence left no room for argument.

Lin Zhiyi obediently got into the car.

As the car left the hospital, Gong Chen raised his hand toward Lin Zhiyi and pointed at his watch.

"Dinner time, let’s eat at a nearby restaurant."

"Hmm."

Lin Zhiyi glanced at the watch and nodded, knowing her refusal meant little.

The restaurant Gong Chen chose was certainly upscale, at least the food would be delicious.

Gong Chen lowered his wrist, looking ahead, "When did you start liking watches?"

Lin Zhiyi’s heart lurched.

Busted!

She had just bragged to Li Huan about liking watches, and now she didn’t even recognize the watch on Gong Chen’s wrist, one of only seven in existence from Brand B, counting as a minor goal.

She took a deep breath in secret, trying to sound calm, "Recently, just getting started. President Xue’s watch looked good, so I thought I’d save up to buy one."

"Hm."

Gong Chen closed his eyes to rest, his gaze hidden, but that made Lin Zhiyi even more terrified.

She knew he was still suspicious.

Luckily, the car stopped at the restaurant, and Lin Zhiyi immediately opened the door to breathe deeply.

The restaurant manager approached with a wheelchair, smiling, "Miss Lin, this way, please."

Lin Zhiyi turned to look at Gong Chen, not expecting him to be so thoughtful.

Gong Chen straightened his suit, "Need a lift?"

"No!"

Lin Zhiyi steadied herself on the car door and sat in the wheelchair.

As Gong Chen got out of the car, he glanced at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin moved closer, understanding the cue, "Third Young Master."

"Go..." Gong Chen lowered his voice.

Chen Jin, seemingly incredulous, nodded, "Yes."

Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen into the restaurant, preparing to take her seat under the manager’s guidance.

At that moment, a proud and triumphant laugh came from behind her.

"Yo! Isn’t this our renowned Third Young Master?"
