Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 129: Snatching the Phone

Lin Zhiyi’s bag still contained the watch left by Gong Chen.

She couldn’t understand why he had done this.

As she racked her brain unsuccessfully, Song Wanqiu lifted her wrist for everyone to admire.

A snow-white wrist was adorned with a wide, diamond-studded watch with a ruby embedded at intervals along the strap, and even the dial was fully set with rubies and diamonds.

It was not cheap.

A curious colleague asked, "Third Young Master has really put some thought into this, it must have cost quite a bit, right?"

Song Wanqiu withdrew her hand and looked up, her gaze sweeping over Lin Zhiyi’s wrist as her glass-like lips curled into a smile.

"As long as I like it, Third Young Master won’t care about the price. Actually, before this, Third Young Master said he wanted to give me a female watch just like his, but I only glanced at it and didn’t really like it, so he went to the auction and bought this antique watch for me."

The implication was that Gong Chen loved her to the brink of madness.

Lin Zhiyi twisted her bag strap, her fingertips feeling cold and stiff.

So it was Song Wanqiu’s rejects once again.

This plunged Lin Zhiyi into painful memories.

In her previous life, after a night of madness, Gong Chen would leave behind some jewelry, saying they were things Song Wanqiu didn’t want.

It was an insult repeated over and over.

Lin Zhiyi snapped back to reality, incessantly telling herself on the inside that none of it would happen again.

Song Wanqiu was not satisfied with her reaction, and without waiting for her to sit down, she quickly walked up to her.

"Zhiyi, help me think about something; I want to gift Third Young Master a custom-made watch, what style do you think suits him? Also, do you think... should I have a name set in it with gems?"

Lin Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure.

"You’re his fiancée and you don’t know, what would an outsider like me understand?"

Song Wanqiu nodded, her smile unwavering: "True, I’ll think about it myself."

Moments later, unable to bear the turmoil inside her, Lin Zhiyi pretended to go pour some coffee and slipped into the pantry.

She leaned on the countertop and took deep breaths.

When Song Wanqiu asked about setting a name on the men’s watch, Lin Zhiyi knew she was being tested.

How had she been exposed?

Her mind raced, and a name surfaced.

Li Huan. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Indeed, she had still underestimated Li Huan’s disguise.

Now was not the time to dwell on it; she had to figure out a way to deal with it.

Lin Zhiyi felt disordered, but she poured a cup of coffee and walked out of the pantry.

Not far away, Song Wanqiu was standing next to her desk.

She hurried over: "Miss Song, do you need something?"

Song Wanqiu’s fingers pointed at the smartphone on her desk and offhandedly remarked, "Got a new phone?"

Just as her touch was about to meet the phone, Lin Zhiyi snatched it away.

"No, I just added a new screen protector."

It seemed urgent to get the phone fixed.

...

During the noon break.

Lin Zhiyi took a cab alone to the phone repair shop.

After examining her old phone that had fallen into water, the owner frowned.

"Miss, this is an old model from over three years ago. We don’t have this screen or battery in stock, and it would be inefficient to order parts for repair. Why don’t you get a new phone? We have many new models here, all at a discount."

"No need, I just want this phone," Lin Zhiyi refused.

The owner stopped pushing, "Alright, but ordering parts will take a week."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, paid, and then stuffed the old phone back into her bag.

Preparing to leave, she happened to see an old phone, identical to her own, inside the display case.

After a moment’s consideration, she pointed and said, "Boss, I’ll take that one too."

With everything handled, she quickly left the repair shop.

But she hadn’t gone two steps when suddenly two men rushed out, attempting to snatch her bag.

Just when she was about to scream for help, one of the men holding her bag suddenly turned earnest.

"Please, I beg you not to break up with me. I might be broke now, but I’ll give you all the money I earn in the future. Don’t go off with that rich kid!"

What?

Lin Zhiyi’s mind reeled, as if struck by a club, and she couldn’t react at once.

But when she saw the other man trying to pull her bag, she instantly understood their motive.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhiyi looked behind the men and yelled, "Officer, over here, come quick!"

The men were startled.

Lin Zhiyi took the opportunity to run toward the more crowded area.

The men, seeing something was wrong, quickly followed.

Lin Zhiyi knew that running into a bustling area was her best bet; at times like this, smashing a phone or car would definitely get someone’s attention.

But the people around her were becoming more elite in appearance, walking briskly, and few were looking at their phones while walking.

Her legs could barely keep up anymore.

Never mind, smashing a car window should be something she could afford to compensate for.

She swung her bag at a freshly parked car window.
