After hearing Jiang Mian's words, neither Jiang Yu nor Qin Yanhuai said anything.

But they all understood Jiang Mian's feelings.

Ran Tiantian stormed out of the private room, furious.

He immediately dialed a number for Gong Yan.

As soon as the call connected, before the other end could even speak, Ran Tiantian started firing off like a machine gun.

"Let me tell you! That nanny Lu Bozhou brought last time! She's not simple, not simple at all!"

"Not only have they won over Lu Bozhou and his son, but it seems they've also won over Jiang Yu and Qin Yanhuai!"

"Who else could have such an ability? Even Jiang Mian herself didn't have it back then, right?"

"It seems like your best friend's husband, kids, brother, and childhood friend are all going to betray you. How interesting."

……

After dinner, Qin Yanhuai and Jiang Yu escorted her home.

Jiang Mian originally thought it was unnecessary to trouble them so much.

But Qin Yanhuai was not at ease.

"I'll send you back. Knowing Lu Bozhou's personality, if he kicks you out, I can make arrangements for you right away."

Qin Yanhuai considered everything thoroughly.

Moreover, considering Lu Bozhou's previous attitude, Jiang Mian felt that the situation Qin Yanhuai was considering was highly likely to occur.

The car drove all the way into the mansion, which Jiang Mian originally thought would be impossible to drive into.

Unexpectedly, the security guard only glanced at her face before letting her through.

After getting off the bus, Jiang Mian took a deep breath.

I'm still a little nervous.

But without hesitation, he went inside.

Even after she entered her fingerprint, it wasn't removed from the door lock.

The door opened smoothly.

Jiang Mian glanced at the car parked outside, then waved to them.

Qin Yanhuai flashed his car lights twice before starting the car and driving away.

Jiang Mian watched his car leave, and was just about to turn around and go inside.

A cold voice came from behind and asked, "What, is Qin Yanhuai afraid I'll kick you out so he can take over in time?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Jiang Mian paused.

She bit her lip lightly and whispered, "Mr. Lu, I'm back."

Jiang Mian couldn't help but quickly peek inside, wanting to see if Xiao Shitou had returned.

Judging from the slippers in the entryway, they must have already returned.

As if noticing her gaze, Lu Bozhou said in a low voice.

"Lu Chaochi is asleep."

Jiang Mian nodded and asked softly, "How was the follow-up examination?"

Lu Bozhou had no intention of answering her.

His voice remained indifferent.

“When we went for a follow-up check-up, his grandmother tentatively mentioned that she didn’t want him to have the procedure done here anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracted, "President Lu..."

"Then he cried so hard he almost couldn't breathe. So when he came back, he just said, 'You went out to run errands.' He ate some fried chicken and went to sleep."

Lu Bozhou's words made Jiang Mian feel a little uneasy.

It doesn't sound like there's anything too sharp or offensive in it.

But Jiang Mian had a feeling that what was about to come wouldn't be so simple or easy.

“So, Jiang Mian,” Lu Bozhou called out to her.

Jiang Mian's heart tightened.

"Have you thought about the question I asked earlier?"

Lu Bozhou looked at her calmly.

When Jiang Mian looked up and met his eyes, she saw something in those beautiful eyes...

She felt as if she could no longer see any human emotions.

Utter silence, complete indifference.

"What exactly is your purpose?" Lu Bozhou asked, his voice so indifferent it was almost chilling.

"This is your last chance. If you still don't intend to be honest, I won't keep you."

“It’s no use for Lu Chaochi to cry. He won’t die from crying anyway, but having someone with ulterior motives around will.”

Jiang Mian bit the flesh inside her lip hard.

All I could feel was a metallic, sweet taste in my mouth.

Her mind raced, her eyes fixed intently on Lu Bozhou's.

After a moment, she asked, "Mr. Lu, if I tell you my purpose, and as long as my purpose is not malicious, will you not drive me away?"

Lu Bozhou pondered for a moment, "Alright, as long as your purpose is not malicious, I won't drive you away since you saved Lu Chaochi."

Lu Bozhou looked at her. "So what is your purpose?"

Jiang Mian clenched her fists, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and took two steps forward.

I tiptoed and moved closer!

Her petal-soft lips landed on the man's cool, thin lips.

His long, narrow eyes, which had been deathly still as if devoid of any human emotion, now seemed to finally show a slight ripple.

The man narrowed his eyes, his gaze dangerous.

Jiang Mian's lips merely touched his, leaving a very light kiss on his lips, before she immediately pulled away.

In her past life, she and this man had been intimate in every way imaginable. They even had a child together.

But my heart still races because of that brief contact!

dong dong!

dong dong!

It feels like it's going to burst out of my chest!

I felt my heart pounding violently against my chest, and it even hurt a little!

Jiang Mian tried to adjust her breathing, but she still couldn't suppress the trembling in her voice!

Her lips trembled as she said, "This, this is my purpose... I have no, no ill intentions, and I will not do anything bad to Little Stone."

"I just, just..."

like you.

Jiang Mian couldn't bring herself to say those three words.

It was just three simple words, yet they seemed to instantly ignite those long-buried, still bleeding wounds in her heart.

In her past life, she loved him deeply.

I've told him I like him so many times.

But in this world, not every "I like you" will receive the same response.

At least every time she said "I like you" to Lu Bozhou.

The response he received was always an impatient retort: ​​"So what?"

Even though he had already died once, looking back now...

I still feel that it is very difficult to say those three words again.

But she couldn't stay silent. This was the most reasonable and justifiable reason she could think of.

Because matters of the heart are inherently without reason.

“I like you,” Jiang Mian said.

These four words seemed to transcend time and life and death.

I thought his heart was long dead, but I didn't expect it to be so vibrant when he said those four words.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou merely raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly, "You like me? So what? You seem to have gotten the hang of it pretty quickly."

The words were clearly sharp.

But for some reason, perhaps I had already heard too much about it in my previous life.

I didn't feel any pain at all.

Or perhaps the pain has already made them numb.

Jiang Mian quickly realized it, but fortunately... he didn't suspect anything.

Indeed, feelings are always the simplest yet most reliable purpose.

Jiang Mian said in a low voice, "You saved me at the breakfast shop, so..."

She lowered her eyes, no longer meeting his piercing gaze.

“I didn’t originally intend to say anything, do anything, or expect any response. It was Mr. Lu who insisted on knowing my reasons.”

She asked in a low voice, "Is this reason enough?" [Qiqi is here to ask for votes and favorites! Your support is very important. By the way, starting today, I have a cat! My cat's name is Laifu, and he's uniquely ugly.]
