When I saw the news about "her" suicide on the big screen, I finally understood why Shen Wu had just said that she would eventually die if she was with He Qishen.

After "she" committed suicide in her previous life, there was a lot of speculation from the outside world, and there was no conclusion as to whether it was suicide or homicide.

"Ashu, you won't be happy with him." A mature male voice came from the screen.

Zhou Lingshu looked at the person who appeared again on the screen. For some reason, when she heard what Shen Wu from another world said about the cause of her death in her previous life, her first feeling was that "she" must have committed suicide.

She used to wonder why He Qishen was reborn since she was willing to stay with him in her previous life.

It turned out that "she" committed suicide.

Why did "she" commit suicide?

Zhou Lingshu believed that he had never been a pessimistic person, and even if the sky fell, he would never choose such an extreme way to leave the world.

She did not tell anyone about He Qishen's rebirth.

She didn't really trust Shen Wu either.

Since he can create a system to bind her and control Jiang Chuanyu's life and death, he must not be a simple character.

"I can take care of it myself." This was all Zhou Lingshu managed to say.

Of course she knew what Shen Wu meant.

Would things be better for her if she left He Qishen and went to Shen Wu?

Not necessarily.

If that's the case, why should she get a divorce that would hurt both parties?

"Shen Wu" saw that she looked indifferent and that she had been frightened in the past, so he said a few words to comfort her. He could not always connect with this world.

Not long after, he lost the connection.

Zhou Lingshu looked at the black screen and looked away. She was now speechless towards Shen Wu.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Shen Wu was the first to speak: "You are not planning to get a divorce, right?"

She remained calm throughout the whole process.

Especially when she saw the news of her death in her previous life, she was incredibly calm, like a bystander.

Zhou Lingshu pulled his lips: "If you hadn't lied to me, maybe we would have a chance."

"He treated you so well, yet you were willing to be with him. Why wouldn't you give me a chance when I just lied to you once?" Shen Wu said in a hoarse voice.

Yes.

why?

Zhou Lingshu replied: "Because you two are different. In my eyes, he was a bad guy from the beginning, but in my eyes, you are a victim who was dragged into the game by me."

She had no expectations of He Qishen, and she didn't find anything strange no matter what he did.

But Shen Wu is different.

She had taken Shen Wu seriously, and she had truly looked forward to her future with Shen Wu.

She always felt a little guilty about the strategy and wanted to be extra nice to him and make up for all the grievances he had suffered in his family.

So Shen Wu’s deception was a big blow to her.

Shen Wu understood the meaning of Zhou Lingshu's words almost instantly. When Zhou Lingshu stood up, he held her hand, with pain flashing in his eyes.

"Ah Shu, don't leave me."

He sat there, like a dog abandoned by its owner, with sadness and anxiety all over his body.

Zhou Lingshu's eyes were filled with tears.

She lowered her head and pried Shen Wu's hands apart, saying softly, "Don't like me anymore. It's not worth it."

Zhou Lingshu turned around and left, tears welling up in his eyes the moment he turned around.

When closing the door, the suppressed sobbing sounds from inside the house reached his ears. Zhou Lingshu paused for just a moment, and finally the door was gently closed.

The man in the living room buried his face in his hands, looking particularly lonely and depressed.

-

When he returned to the car, Zhou Lingshu's emotions slowly calmed down.

She leaned back in the driver's seat, tilted her head to the left, and looked at the people passing by on the road.

"I told you not to eat ice cream, but you ate it secretly again!"

A little boy who looked about seven or eight years old ran out from the alley, followed by a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and holding a feather duster in her hand, chasing after him.

The child was agile and ran around everywhere. It was obvious that he was often beaten.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Zhou Lingshu's lips.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the car window. Zhou Lingshu came back to his senses and looked through the window at He Qishen's expressionless face.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Lingshu rolled down the window and asked puzzledly.

"There's a development project here, come and take a look."

He Qishen opened the car door and motioned Zhou Lingshu to get out. She didn't ask any questions, got out and followed him.

He Qishen took her hand and said that Jin Mingqiong and Tan Yue were also here and it would be a good opportunity for them to have dinner together. Zhou Lingshu hadn't seen Tan Yue for some time.

"I haven't heard from Brother Kaiyu and Sister Chen Shan recently. What are they doing?" Zhou Lingshu asked casually.

"They were arguing." He Qishen replied.

quarrel?

This was the first time Zhou Lingshu heard of the two arguing in the three years since he knew them.

Seeing her frowning, He Qishen spoke again: "They have been together for more than ten years, there will always be... a cooling-off period."

Zhou Lingshu was surprised: "Cheating?"

"Not really."

Zhou Lingshu understood that there was no actual infidelity, but there was definitely some emotional drift.

A dozen years is indeed a long time.

Zhou Lingshu tilted his head, "Do you have one too?"

"Ok?"

"The cool-off period."

He Qishen stopped and smiled. He took Zhou Lingshu's hand and pulled her gently, and she fell into his arms.

He said slowly: "Are you afraid that I will cheat?"

Zhou Lingshu was indeed quite curious. In her previous life, she seemed to have committed suicide when she was around 30 years old, and in this life, it seemed like it had been more than ten years.

Is it because he loves her that he has always loved her, or is it because he has never had her and it has become an obsession?

He loved her passionately. If she really fell in love with him, he would get it and his obsession would be gone.

Does that mean I don’t love you anymore?

Zhou Lingshu just smiled and didn't answer.

He Qishen held her face in his hands and assured her seriously, "I won't."

His eyes were blazing: "Don't you feel my passion? I'll let you feel it more when we go back tonight."

Zhou Lingshu felt a little embarrassed when he stared at her, especially after hearing He Qishen's sticky and ambiguous words.

"Eat, I'm hungry." She punched He Qishen on the chest and turned away.

In just three seconds, the man caught up with her and held her hand.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Jin Mingqiong and Tan Yue had just ordered their dishes. When they saw them coming, they opened the menu and asked them to order.

After ordering the dishes, Zhou Lingshu learned from Tan Yue the whole story of the quarrel between Ju Kaiyu and Chen Shan.

The cause was that a female intern came to Ju Kaiyu's company. She was a senior student and looked a bit like Chen Shan. It happened that during that period of time, Ju Kaiyu and Chen Shan always had different opinions on work.

Ju Kaiyu had gone out to dinner with this female college student twice. Perhaps the girl's admiring gaze reminded Ju Kaiyu of Chen Shan in high school.

He allowed himself to indulge again and again.

The fact that he and the intern met frequently outside was eventually not hidden from Chen Shan.

Chen Shan has been treating Ju Kaiyu coldly for a month. She proposed divorce but Ju Kaiyu disagreed, so the two of them became stalemated.

Zhou Lingshu didn't expect this to be the reason.

Chen Shan is still beautiful, but the intern is young and has the youth and vitality that Chen Shan does not have.
