Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Quite Unruly

Gong Chen did not conceal the hickey marks on his collar, lightly supporting the table, he lifted his eyes slightly.

His black eyes were calm and profound, as deep as a bottomless abyss.

"Miss Bai, is there a problem? If you wish to apologize, naturally you should apologize to the person involved. We are... not familiar with each other. Or do you have another intention?"

"I, I... don’t."

Under Gong Chen’s gaze, Bai Ruoshu felt as if he could see right through her, making her speech stutter.

She clenched her fingers tightly, an unbidden fear rising in her heart.

Until Bai Zhengxian could no longer bear watching, set down his teacup, and gently reminded.

"Ruoshu, if you have something to say, just speak plainly, there’s no need to beat around the bush in front of the Third Young Master."

Bai Ruoshu snapped back from her fear, replacing it with a graceful smile.

"Third Young Master, I mean to say that I can help Zhiyi."

Bai Zhengxian nodded in satisfaction, adding, "Ruoshu hasn’t been eating well these past few days, always thinking about how to assist Lin Zhiyi. Today, seeing the situation online worsening, she immediately begged me to bring her over to find you."

Gong Chen listened to the father and daughter sing in harmony, idly rotating the ring on his finger.

"How do you plan to help?"

Bai Ruoshu finally heard the words she wanted to hear.

Her heart leaped with joy, but her face remained composed, as if she struggled with a decision before speaking firmly.

"I can issue a statement clarifying that the hospital incident was just a misunderstanding, that I accidentally fell, and that Zhiyi did not maliciously push me and my mother."

"As for the injury, I will also tell everyone that the incident happened suddenly, regardless of who it was, I would have saved them, and it had nothing to do with Zhiyi."

It sounded righteous.

Every word seemed self-sacrificing.

However, every sacrifice comes with a price.

Gong Chen lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the sharpness within.

"That is indeed one way to handle it."

As soon as the words fell.

Bai Ruoshu exchanged a glance with Bai Zhengxian, their eyes filled with triumph.

"Third Young Master, I intended to release the statement immediately, but I ran into a small issue, afraid netizens would not trust my explanation."

"What issue?" Gong Chen asked coolly.

"The problem with the new design from the studio; now everyone thinks it’s because of my injury that the design failed. If this issue cannot be resolved, I’m afraid no one will believe what I say."

Bai Ruoshu sighed, her expression helpless.

Out of the corner of her eye, she signaled to her father, Bai Zhengxian.

Bai Zhengxian stood up, quickly walked to the front of the desk, and shielded Bai Ruoshu with his hand.

"Ruoshu, whether the Third Young Master helps you is a matter of sentiment; bringing it up like this is quite improper."

Bai Ruoshu gently spoke, "Dad, I just want to consider everything thoroughly. It would be good for everyone, and I think the Third Young Master would agree."

She cast her glance on Gong Chen.

The man rose, dressed in a dark patterned black suit, tall and upright.

Bathed in the topmost sunlight, even his hair shimmered with a golden hue, yet it couldn’t light up the depth in his eyes, highlighting his profound and charming features.

So perfect he seemed unreal.

Bai Ruoshu was deeply attracted, staring at him without blinking.

The next second, Gong Chen turned his head, meeting her gaze.

Bai Ruoshu had never known what it felt like to have her heart race.

Until this moment, she felt her heart speed up as if it were about to leap out.

"Yes."

Gong Chen responded in a low voice.

The corners of Bai Ruoshu’s lips involuntarily lifted, yet she felt something else in his gaze.

Before she could speak, Gong Chen continued, "It is quite improper."

"Coming here to discuss issues without cleaning up the mess first and then expecting me to clean up?"

"What do you take this place for?"

Gong Chen calmly questioned, yet his tone carried no warmth.

As his gaze swept over Bai Ruoshu, she took a step back.

"Third Young Master, what do you mean?"

Gong Chen lifted his hand to point at his watch, reluctant to elaborate.

Almost simultaneously, Bai Ruoshu’s phone rang.

She answered immediately, "President Xue, what’s the matter?"
