Don't meet me in your next life.

When they arrived at the hospital, Yi Yi had already packed her things and was chatting with her grandmother.

"Little Bai is here!" Grandma called out to him with a smile.

"Okay, Grandma, it's time to eat. I brought lunch." Lin Lubai was unusually well-behaved, seemingly a different person from the others in the office.

After lunch, while waiting for the doctor to come to work and process Grandma's discharge, Lin Lubai carried the things and took Grandma and Yi Yi home.

"Yi Yi, you stay home and take care of Grandma. I'm going to buy some groceries for dinner." After dropping Grandma and Yi Yi off at home, Lin Lubai planned to go buy groceries and cook.

"No need, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go buy groceries later." Yi Yi was worried that he would be too busy, as he had already answered seven or eight phone calls in the car.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, just wait for me." Lin Lubai smiled.

"Let him go. I haven't eaten Xiaobai's cooking yet, and I haven't had a proper meal with my family. Xiaobai, buy more, okay?" Grandma said happily to Lin Lubai.

"Okay, I'm going then." Lin Lubai turned and left.

Lin Lubai opened the navigation and located the best jewelry store in Shashi.

"Miss, could you please bring out some of your most expensive jewelry for me?" Lin Lubai said to the jewelry store clerk.

You get what you pay for; Yi Yi deserves the best.

The waiter sized him up: an Italian Loro suit, a globally limited edition watch, and a custom-made phone on his wrist—he was incredibly wealthy.

Upon seeing the big customer, the waiter quickly called the manager over, and the two of them brought over all the store's prized possessions.

Lin Lubai selected a 5-piece ruby ​​set for Yi Yi. It was a limited edition, hand-set piece and the most expensive set in the store, costing 66 yuan.

After buying all these things, he realized he hadn't bought anything for his grandmother, so he picked out a jade bracelet for her, packed it up, and then went to the market satisfied.

In the market, apart from his outfit, this CEO didn't look presentable at all. He picked out fresh fish and tender green vegetables just like the middle-aged women. However, unlike them, he was accompanied by a number of young girls and even some middle-aged women, all of whom looked at him with fawning expressions.

He's so good-looking, knows how to pick vegetables and cook, and judging by his clothes, he's a man who can make money. Who wouldn't love a man like that?

"Handsome, can we be friends?" Two girls couldn't help but go up to Lin Lubai and ask for his contact information.

"Sorry, I'm already married. My only female friend is my wife," Lin Lubai said bluntly.

"They didn't even give us a ring. They say they're getting married, but aren't they just trying to get rid of us?" a girl muttered under her breath.

"Huh? A ring?" Lin Lubai suddenly remembered that he and Xiang Yiyi really hadn't bought a ring.

That day, after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, I went straight to the Lu family's house and completely forgot about such an important matter.

Lin Lubai ignored them and quickened his pace as he bought groceries; he still needed to go back and buy a pair of rings. He didn't like being bothered by women, which was why he had never had a woman by his side all these years—he didn't joke about relationships.

The two girls looked disappointed when he ignored them, while the others who hadn't come up to watch secretly gave him a thumbs up. These days, such a devoted man is truly rare.

Lin Lubai pretended not to hear, quickly bought the items, and left.

Passing by a cake shop, Lin Lubai parked his car to buy a cake.

Without a reservation, the store only had one-pound cakes available, so Lin Lubai chose a heart-shaped chestnut puree cake.

Afterwards, he went to a jewelry store and chose a 5-carat diamond ring. Although the diamond wasn't very big, he wanted to keep Xiang Yi with his current one first, and then order a bigger one for her later.

Then he bought himself a simple one, and only then did he drive away satisfied.

Back at the Xiang family home, Grandma was resting. Lin Lubai took the groceries into the kitchen to get busy, leaving the cake and gifts in the car.

After a short rest, Lin Lubai started working. He busied himself in the kitchen, while Xiang Yiyi helped him with odd jobs.

"Lin Lubai, do you think it's okay for us to stay like this forever?" Xiang Yiyi really wanted to live like this for the rest of her life.

"Okay, wait until I finish something." Lin Lubai didn't want to lie to her.

After waiting a while and seeing that Lin Lubai did not continue the topic, Xiang Yi knew that he did not want to talk about it, so she did not continue the topic.

“You know what? When I was little, I really envied such a happy life, a simple family life,” Xiang Yi said.

"Yes, from now on we'll live a simple life as a family and fulfill your childhood wish," Lin Lubai smiled.

"Lin Lubai, do you cook often?" Xiang Yi asked, looking at the fresh and tender vegetables.

“I used to do it often, but I don’t have time now. Why are you asking?” Lin Lubai replied.

"Judging from the vegetables you bought, you must be someone who cooks often. The vegetables you picked are especially tender," Xiang Yi said.

"Okay, I'll buy groceries and cook for you often when I have time," Lin Lubai said with a smile.

He longed for such a home, where he could cook for his loved one—it was a very happy thing.

The two chatted casually as they cooked, with Lin Lubai in charge of the cooking and Xiang Yiyi occasionally helping out.

Seeing Lin Lubai wearing an apron, Xiang Yiyi wanted nothing more than to hug and comfort him. She never knew men could be so cute and handsome.

By the time Grandma got up, Lin Lubai had already almost finished cooking the dishes.

Steamed abalone, steamed grouper, steamed pork ribs, braised pork belly, tomato beef, lobster, steamed chicken with cordyceps flowers, garlic bok choy, and cordyceps flower pigeon soup.

The sight of this table of dishes made Xiang Yi's mouth water, and her grandmother smiled and nodded in approval.

Before dinner, Lin Lubai ran to the car to get the gifts and cake.

"Grandma, congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital. This is a gift for you." Lin Lubai put down the cake and handed the bracelet to his grandmother.

"Okay, okay, but don't waste money. Grandma has seen your good intentions in all the dishes on this table." Grandma smiled happily.

Lin Lubai opened the bracelet and put it on his grandmother's wrist. His grandmother patted Lin Lubai's hand repeatedly and said, "Good, good, good."

Xiang Yi looked at Lin Lubai and her grandmother, her eyes welling up with tears.

Lin Lubai turned his head, took out another box, opened it, took out the ring inside, and then knelt on one knee.

"Yi Yi, I owe you a marriage proposal. It's simple, but I'm sincere. Will you marry me?" Lin Lubai looked at Yi Yi with deep affection.

"Okay." Xiang Yi's face was flushed.

Upon hearing her answer, Lin Lubai quickly slipped the ring onto her finger. Then he took out a men's ring and had Yi Yi put it on her finger.

After Yi Yi put the ring on his finger, he quickly stood up and kissed her on the cheek.

Yi covered her face in embarrassment, while her grandmother smiled happily.

Lin Lubai then took out the gemstone necklace set and handed it to Yi Yi: "This is my wedding gift to you. See if you like it."

"I love it, it's so beautiful, but I didn't prepare a gift for you." Xiang Yi said a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, I'll take care of it. As long as you care about me, that's enough. Wear it to Grandpa's birthday party tomorrow. My wife, Lin Lubai's wife, has to look beautiful," Lin Lubai said gently.

"Let's eat, I don't want to eat dog food anymore," Grandma said with a smile.

The family of three happily ate their dinner.
