Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1159: My Husband Is Omnipotent

Gong Chen put down his phone and said calmly, "Is ’husband’ such a universal term?"

Lin Zhiyi laughed and said, "The word might not be universal, but my husband is."

Gong Chen chuckled, "I like that. What’s up?"

"Bringing a partner to the class reunion is secondary. I just wanted to show you to my homeroom teacher, but your face might be a problem. Quite a few of my classmates are in your industry, they’ll definitely recognize you."

"So what do you mean?" Gong Chen asked.

Lin Zhiyi smiled obsequiously at him, "Actually, I think... Chen Jin is quite good."

Gong Chen’s expectant look suddenly turned sour.

"He’s good, and I’m not?"

"No, I’m just worried you’ll get exposed? It’s hard enough to settle in peace, I just want to handle my classmates, besides, Yu Mei agreed to come too. They probably just want to see the rumors from online, so I might as well use them to clear things up without lifting a finger."

Lin Zhiyi had calculated everything well.

But seeing Gong Chen’s face, she didn’t dare to say more.

"Alright, just pretend I didn’t say anything."

Lin Zhiyi prepared to quickly make her escape.

With quick reflexes, Gong Chen pulled her back.

"Who says I can’t go? These days it’s quite normal for people to look a bit similar, right? Moreover, I’m now the descendant of a collateral branch of the Gong family."

To legitimize his identity, Gong Chen utilized Sarah’s influence abroad, along with the advantage of the numerous members of the Gong family.

He found an identity to assume from relatives far removed.

The person was an only child, with deceased parents and no connections with relatives.

Ten years ago, he had a cliff-climbing accident, and even his body wasn’t recovered.

Sarah used the pretense of global travel to let Gong Chen resurrect his identity.

Gong Chen then smoothly changed his name and returned home.

But identity is one thing—his looks were too easily provocative.

Not to mention that Yu Mei is a journalist; how could she pass up such a good opportunity?

Gong Chen noticed Lin Zhiyi’s concerns.

He stood up and took something from the cupboard.

Lin Zhiyi leaned in for a closer look, "This is..."

"Disguises aren’t limited to women, men can disguise too. This is custom-made from Sarah, just in case. Her stuff... you know."

Lin Zhiyi touched it, surprised, "It feels like real skin, the texture is the same. But aren’t the human skin masks from movies supposed to be a whole face?"

Gong Chen pointed to his own face, "Everyone has their unique features, that’s why even with the same facial features, people look different. Change the features, and you can change the appearance; no need to cover the whole face."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, "Then I’ll have to trouble you, hubby."

Gong Chen trapped her on his lap.

"How do you plan to thank me?"

"How should I thank you? I’ll prepare a big gift for you once the class reunion is over?"

"Sure."

Gong Chen nodded.

...

Class reunion.

On the way there, Lin Zhiyi glanced at the group messages.

There were photos of classmates who’ve already arrived, and everyone had changed quite a bit.

Lin Zhiyi felt a slight pang of nostalgia.

Gong Chen glanced over, "New clothes, fake smiles."

Lin Zhiyi laughed out, "For a class reunion, of course you want to show everyone your best side. I’m also wearing new clothes today; I matched the accessories last night."

Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi’s accessories.

It seemed she didn’t want to put pressure on her classmates, so she only wore a pair of pearl earrings and their plain wedding ring.

Gong Chen took her hand, "You don’t need to wear other jewelry, but in this situation, there’s one thing you must wear."

Lin Zhiyi was puzzled, "What?"

"A watch, it can help you filter out many people."

As he spoke, Gong Chen had already placed the watch he once gave Lin Zhiyi onto her wrist.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen in confusion.

Gong Chen explained, "Those who know the value will know how to talk; those who don’t won’t care about it."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, "You’re afraid I won’t have the advantage in a conversation with Yu Mei, so you’re giving me table allies? People who recognize the watch’s worth will step in to ease things up, so it won’t get too ugly."

"Yes, I know you’re doing this for your homeroom teacher, so it wouldn’t be good if things got too messy for anyone involved."

"That’s true."

Lin Zhiyi touched the watch.

Arrived at the hotel.

Lin Zhiyi noticed there was a traffic jam in front.

"What’s going on? So many cars, so many people."

Many people nearly grazed by Lin Zhiyi’s car as they moved forward, and each had a camera in hand.

Even though Gong Chen altered his appearance a bit,

his looks were truly commanding.

Even with some features changed, he was still impossibly handsome.

If even by accident it ended up online, Lin Zhiyi believed it would surely be a topic of discussion.

It’s just that Gong Chen most definitely didn’t need any more attention right now.

Gong Chen ducked his head to avoid the crowd outside.

Chen Jin, a bit worried, rolled down the car window to inquire with the people outside.

"Excuse me, is something happening here?"

"A foreign band is holding a concert, we’re fans, sorry, we too were pushed forward by the crowd up front."

The fans were polite, repeatedly apologizing.

Chen Jin couldn’t say much, nodded and closed the window.

Upon hearing this, Gong Chen raised a hand to shield his face.

Since there were fans, they would definitely post photos online.

And with the ongoing popularity of the foreign band’s concert, the photos would certainly spread everywhere in the next few days.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi said, "I’ll get off first, there’s a side entrance for employees at this hotel. You can back out and enter from there."

Gong Chen nodded, "Be careful."

"Don’t worry."

Saying this, Lin Zhiyi got out of the car.

Seizing a moment when the fans were pressing forward, Chen Jin smoothly backed out of the entrance.

Lin Zhiyi walked through the side path towards the hotel’s main entrance.

At this moment, the fans were in the middle of a group sing-along, with the boy band members in the center.

They indeed looked quite dashing.

Just then, her phone buzzed a few times.

"Zhiyi, aren’t you here yet? There are fans downstairs, it might cause a traffic jam. Remember to take a detour."

The class monitor kindly reminded her.

"Arriving soon."

Lin Zhiyi entered through the side door and walked directly up to the second-floor restaurant.

Guided by the waiter, she entered the private room.

The once lively table suddenly grew quiet.

The first to speak was the class monitor.

"Zhiyi, it’s really you. I thought the photos online were because of makeup. Didn’t expect you haven’t changed a bit, still so beautiful. No, even more beautiful."

The class monitor was a girl, but even in high school, she was quite sociable, and everyone liked her.

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward, "Thank you. I did put on a bit of makeup to see everyone."

She raised her hand to smooth her hair, just enough to reveal the watch.

As soon as the watch was revealed, just like Gong Chen had said, those who knew its value had their eyes change.

Those who didn’t just glanced at it and paid no attention.

Someone stood up and said, "Zhiyi, the homeroom teacher is here."

Lin Zhiyi nodded and smiled as she walked over to the teacher.

The homeroom teacher looked much thinner than before, and didn’t have much spirit.

The class monitor had told her that the teacher was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, although it was caught early and operated on, chemotherapy was truly torturous.

His vitality had been worn down.

Lin Zhiyi’s nose tingled, "Teacher."

"Good, good, seeing you all doing so well now makes my heart glad. I’m grateful you all still remember me." The teacher smiled.

Lin Zhiyi looked at the class monitor; clearly, she hadn’t mentioned the online matters.

That’s good, no need to put the teacher in a difficult position.

The once warm scene was suddenly interrupted by Yu Mei’s voice.

"Lin Zhiyi, where’s your husband?"
