Don't meet me in your next life.

On the way back, Lin Lubai's mind was filled with Xiang Yiyi. He felt like he was going crazy, wanting to stick her to him. This heartless woman—he hadn't been able to contact her for four days, there was no signal on the ship, and she hadn't contacted him either.

As soon as he got off the ship, Lin Lubai immediately called Xiang Yiyi: "Yiyi, where are you?"

"Huh? I'm sleeping at home." Yi Yi's voice was a little groggy.

"Wait for me, I'll be at your house in an hour." Lin Lubai hung up the phone.

Xiao Zhao secretly rejoiced. It seemed that their boss's insomnia these past few days was because of their boss's wife!

"Xiao Zhao, go and deal with these goods. I have something to do tonight." Lin Lubai couldn't wait for the driver to pick him up, so he left after saying that, hailing a taxi and leaving Xiao Zhao in a daze.

Is this the Lin Lubai he knows? His workaholic boss only has eyes for his wife.

Lin Lubai rushed to Xiang Yi's house, and the moment Xiang Yi opened the door, he grabbed her and kissed her passionately.

Xiang Yi was stunned by his sudden domineering attitude.

"I'm sorry, Yi Yi, I miss you so much. I haven't been able to sleep these past few days without seeing you." Lin Lubai quickly apologized, trying to calm himself down. He didn't want to scare away his little bride.

This sentence left Xiang Yiyi even more confused. Was this still Lin Lubai? Cold, gentle, domineering, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, he was like a mystery, but it was also this that made Xiang Yiyi want to dig deeper into him.

"Can I stay the night or go upstairs to rest? I haven't slept well for days, let me get some sleep first." Lin Lubai looked at Xiang Yiyi and tried to be charming.

Xiang Yi blushed deeply, but seeing his panda-like eyes, she couldn't help but nod.

Xiang Yiyi was still trying to convince herself: You're already married, you're husband and wife.

Lin Lubai took a shower and put on Xiang Yiyi's pajamas. The cute pajamas looked a bit comical on him, which made Xiang Yiyi chuckle: It seems I need to prepare a set of men's products.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yi blushed.

Washing away his fatigue, he pulled Xiang Yiyi into his arms, no longer caring about the pain of his wounds or Xiang Yiyi's blushing face, and held her tightly in his embrace.

After sweating profusely, Xiang Yi noticed that his injured arm was bleeding.

"Lin Lubai, how did you get that wound on your arm? I'll take you to the hospital to get it treated first."

"No need, it's fine. You have a first-aid kit at home, right? I can handle it myself," Lin Lubai said wearily.

Xiang Yiyi planned to persuade Lin Lubai, but she was somewhat worried.

However, Lin Lubai remained adamant, simply smiling and saying it was nothing, they would talk about it tomorrow, and that he wanted to get a good night's sleep now.

Xiang Yi could only bring the first-aid kit. After Lin Lubai treated her simply, he lay down on the bed. A few minutes later, heavy breathing began to come.

He was truly asleep, and he truly wanted to see her. Looking at the handsome man on the bed, Xiang Yi was suddenly filled with happiness.

That night, the two slept very soundly.

The next day, Lin Lubai woke up early and looked at Yi Yi, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He has his own home, and the woman he wants to protect.

He longed to stay with Yi Yi a little longer so he could sleep, but time wouldn't allow it. Guessing that Yi Yi hadn't slept well last night, he tiptoed out of the room.

After washing up, Lin Lubai looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, took out a sandwich, two eggs, and a pack of noodles, and made two simple breakfasts.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Lubai got ready to leave, but then remembered Yi Yi and turned back to leave her a note.

"After you finish breakfast, take a taxi to the hospital. I'll bring lunch over and pick up Grandma from the hospital this afternoon. Love, your husband."

Having done all this, he walked out of Xiang Yi's house with satisfaction.

Xiang Yi, who woke up late, looked at the sandwiches, milk, eggs, and fried noodles on the table and felt a warm feeling in her heart. Over the years, no one except her grandmother had ever prepared breakfast for her.

A note was tucked under the milk. Xiang Yi picked it up and saw that the handwriting was strong and powerful. She was filled with envy: This man was truly a chosen one.

Upon seeing the note left by Lin Lubai, tears welled up in her eyes. She sniffed hard, trying to calm herself down.

After breakfast, Xiang Yi sent a message to Lin Lubai, telling her that she was going to see her grandmother and was waiting for him at the hospital.

Lin Lubai arrived at the company, contacted the factory, and arranged the schedule. Xiao Zhao then had his private doctor treat his wounds.

Just as I finished bandaging up, Angie called.

“Mr. Lin, your time is running out. What are your thoughts?” Angie asked him.

“Anqi, I don’t care who’s behind you, I won’t let him get away with this. You can tell him to wait.” Lin Lubai said without any politeness.

"Does this mean that President Lin has already obtained the raw materials?" Anqi asked with certainty.

“Yes, our competition has only just begun, how could I possibly give up like this?” Lin Lubai said.

"Then congratulations, Mr. Lin, I can report back now." Anqi smiled indifferently.

"No matter who he is or what he's thinking, tell him that if he can't handle me, I'll eat him up sooner or later." Lin Lubai hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

Looking at the phone after it was hung up, Angie was speechless: This is just killing each other. I really don't understand them. Rich people really like to seek thrills.

With such a huge sum of money involved, one can guess that the person behind it is no pushover. But since the other party has directly stepped on his head, he can't just let it go unpunished. Lin Lubai isn't that kind.

"Xiao Zhao, it seems we need to speed things up in the Jizhou market." Lin Lubai called Xiao Zhao over.

"So where do we start? Should we directly acquire Jicheng Real Estate?" Xiao Zhao asked.

“No, the biggest benefit for Jizhou is not Jicheng Real Estate. I’ve thought about it for many days, and what they want from Jizhou is our land.” Lin Lubai pointed directly to the crux of the matter.

"You mean that planned cemetery plot?" Xiao Zhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Tell them to hurry up and arrange a date to start construction and build the cemetery. I think our cemetery is affecting some of their interests, which is why they are taking it in this way.” Lin Lubai tapped his pen.

"What impact can a cemetery have on them?" Xiao Zhao asked curiously.

“I don’t know the specifics either, let’s see. But I won’t give up the cemetery to them. If they win the cemetery project, the Lu family’s largest funeral industry will be shaken, and only then will I have a chance to take back what’s mine,” Lin Lubai said through gritted teeth.

The Lu family is a taboo subject for Lin Lubai; for him, it is a deep-seated pain.

Xiao Zhao didn't speak. He had been taken in by Lin Lubai when he was 15. At that time, he thought Lin Lubai was just a work machine who only knew how to work hard. Later, he learned what Lin Lubai had gone through and why Lin Lubai's only thought was to take back the Lu family and make Lu Yaodong lose everything.

Xiao Zhao felt sorry for Lin Lubai. He had nothing to repay him with but his sincerity and loyalty.

"Oh, right, order lunch for me, something light. I need to pack some for Yi Yi and Grandma." Lin Lubai looked up.

As Xiao Zhao said this, she noticed that Lin Lubai's eyes softened slightly.

"Okay." Xiao Zhao turned and left.

This is the first person his boss has ever truly cared for. He hopes she won't hurt his boss, and he won't allow this woman to hurt him either.

Xiao Zhao turned and left, while Lin Lubai began to work on the planning for Jizhou. He was determined to succeed in this battle.

Before he knew it, he had been busy all morning. When lunch was delivered, Lin Lubai realized how fast time had passed.

Carrying his lunch, he quickly drove to the hospital.
