Don't meet me in your next life.

At 3 p.m., Lin Lubai arrived at Grandma Xiang Yi's tailor shop according to the location.

Xiang Yiyi wore a white dress, the hem of which swayed gently, making her look like a white swan.

Lin Lubai and Xiao Zhao had just entered the store when Xiang Yiyi was trying on a dress. The moment she twirled around, they were both stunned. This girl, who usually seemed just average, was now dressed up like this and was simply a stunning beauty.

"Is it pretty?" Xiang Yi asked, blushing, when she saw Lin Lubai and the others come in.

"It looks good, but how about trying another one?" Lin Lubai couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the V-neck opening.

Lin Lubai didn't want his beautiful wife to be spied on by others.

Xiang Yi thought Lin Lubai didn't like the dress, but she actually liked it quite a bit. After thinking for a moment, she picked up a blue evening gown and changed into it.

When Xiang Yi came out again, Lin Lubai didn't want her to change again.

The dress was made of smooth, soft material, and its tailored fit perfectly showcased Xiang Yiyi's figure. The round neckline revealed her fair collarbone and slender neck, while the irregular hemline, with layers of tulle undulating like ocean waves, and a backless design, beautifully displayed her back. Wearing this blue gown, Xiang Yiyi looked like a princess straight out of a fairytale, attracting everyone's attention.

"Hurry up and change, it's better to wear white." Lin Lubai grabbed a magazine and blocked Xiao Zhao's view.

Although the white dress has a V-neck, it only reveals the neck. This blue dress, however, exposes half of Xiang Yi's back to others, which Lin Lubai doesn't want.

Xiang Yi changed into a white evening gown. The ruby ​​necklace and earrings that Lin Lubai gave her perfectly complemented the little white flower, making her even more adorable.

Lin Lubai looked at Xiang Yi with satisfaction before taking his hand and leading him to the car.

An hour later, Lin Lubai and Xiang Yi arrived at the Lu family home.

This was a lavish and prestigious feast. The villa was already decorated with various lights and flowers, and the air was filled with fragrance as soon as you entered. The restaurant was even more exquisitely decorated, with the tables laden with all kinds of delicacies, such as lobster, abalone, and shark fin. These top-quality ingredients, flown in from all over the world, further demonstrated the Lu family's wealth.

When Lin Lubai brought Xiang Yiyi in, several people from the Lu family had already arrived. However, because Lin Lubai had lived with his maternal grandfather for a long time, not many people knew him. Instead, more people were looking at Xiang Yiyi, such a delicate, beautiful, and lovely girl.

Lin Lubai led Xiang Yi straight to her grandfather's study.

"Grandpa, this is a gift from your granddaughter-in-law." Lin Lubai handed a box to Lu Yaodong.

"Happy birthday, Grandpa," Xiang Yi said sweetly.

"Thank you for your kindness." Grandpa smiled as he accepted the gift, then took out a box from the drawer, opened it, and inside was a ring box that looked quite old.

"Girl, this ring is for you." Grandpa handed Xiang Yiyi a somewhat worn jewelry box.

Although the jewelry box has some wear and tear, it does not detract from its beauty at all. The box, made of fine wood and carefully polished and carved, presents a simple yet elegant beauty. The various small gemstones inlaid on it are brightly colored and dazzling.

As Xiang Yi opened the box, the silk lining inside added to its luxurious feel, and a diamond ring sparkled brilliantly within. It was an antique diamond ring, uniquely designed and intricately crafted, with the diamond set in a platinum base, symbolizing eternal love and commitment. Despite the passage of time, it still shone with unparalleled brilliance.

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it." Xiang Yili thought that this must be very expensive, so she quickly put the ring away and handed it to Lu Yaodong.

"This is something your grandmother left for her eldest grandson's wife, and I'm giving it to you today." Grandpa didn't take the box that Xiang Yiyi handed him.

"This..." Xiang Yi didn't know how to refuse.

"Thank you, Grandpa. This saves me the money I would have spent on a ring." Lin Lubai took the box and put the ring on Xiang Yiyi's finger.

"You brat, treat my granddaughter-in-law well." Lu Yaodong looked at his grandson. He knew where his knot lay, but he couldn't untie it. He only hoped that his grandson could untie it himself after he got married.

"Come on, play chess with me for a while. Girl, if you're bored, you can go for a walk by yourself." Lu Yaodong and Lin Lubai were playing chess in the study.

Xiang Yiyi first sat there and watched them play chess. After a while, she got a little bored, so she went out to look around.

There were quite a few people in the banquet hall. Lu Chengming and a beautiful woman with her hair up and wearing a cheongsam were greeting the guests.

This must be Lin Lubai's stepmother, Aunt Lin. She has pretty features, smooth skin, and a confident and mature look in her eyes.

"What an elegant woman. If I were a man, I might also like a woman like her," Xiang Yi sighed as she stood at the door and looked at Aunt Lin.

"Hey, didn't you promise me? Why are you going back on your word?" A girl's sweet voice came from not far behind Xiang Yiyi.

The woman's upper body was pressed completely against the man's, almost to the point that the man had difficulty walking.

The man impatiently pushed away the woman who was clinging to him, but the woman then pulled his arm.

To distance himself from the woman, he deliberately turned his face to the other side, which prevented him from seeing the figure standing by the door.

Xiang Yi was focused on looking ahead when she heard the girl's voice, which sounded somewhat familiar. She turned around and saw the woman holding the man's arm as she spoke to him.

The man was wearing a suit and white shirt, and was tall. The woman was wearing a purple evening gown. The woman was acting coquettishly while pulling on the boy's arm. The girl was looking at the boy with her face turned to the side, speaking to him with an expression of adoration and affection.

What a happy couple! Xiang Yi was a little envious.

However, she always felt a sense of familiarity. Looking at the profile, she didn't seem to recognize the girl, but the boy's back view was very familiar.

Lu Sichen? Xiang Yi only realized it after they had walked away.

After not seeing him for half a month, she didn't even recognize his back.

Yes, regardless of whether it's Lu Sichen's home or not, he's surnamed Lu and comes from a wealthy family, so it's perfectly normal for him to come. Besides, the "Little Chen" they're talking about might very well be him.

They've reached the point of meeting each other's parents; he even brought back such an important banquet, so it seems they're planning to get married.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Xiang Yi felt a sharp pain in her heart; she couldn't bring herself to offer her blessings.

Now she was almost certain that Lu Sichen and Lin Lubai had some kind of relationship, but she didn't know how to say it. Perhaps Lin Lubai wouldn't mind and would believe her.

Xiang Yi comforted herself, thinking that since she was here, she couldn't avoid it, so she should face it. Xiang Yi decided to take it one step at a time.
