Don't meet me in your next life.

When Xiang Yi came out of the bath, Lin Lubai had already prepared a marriage agreement for her.

"Change your clothes, let's talk." Lin Lubai handed over the clothes the waiter brought.

After Xiang Yi finished changing her clothes, Lin Lubai gave her the marriage agreement.

“Yi Yi, I urgently need a marriage to solidify my position in the family. My grandfather has ordered me that I can only inherit the family property after I get married.” Lin Lubai looked at Xiang Yi Yi earnestly.

"So melodramatic?" Xiang Yi was completely absorbed in Lin Lubai's words and did not see the sly glint in his eyes.

“Take a good look at the agreement. We’ll be married for a year. If we divorce after a year, you can get a house and 200 million yuan in assets.” Lin Lubai threw out the bait, waiting for Yi Yi to take the bait.

"Give me some time to think about it, it's all too sudden." Xiang Yi's face was flushed, as if she were drunk.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lin Lubai wished he could drag her to stamp the seal, but he also knew that haste makes waste, and he needed to give her some time to process it.

The phone rang suddenly, startling the two of them.

Seeing that it was her grandmother calling, Xiang Yi quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hello, do you know Ms. Liu Xiuzhen?" Before Xiang Yi could even speak, a pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, who are you?" Xiang Yi asked nervously.

I am a doctor at the Municipal Central Hospital. Ms. Liu Xiuzhen has fallen and is being treated at our hospital. Could you please notify her family?

"Okay, I'll be right there." Xiang Yi was on the verge of tears.

"I'll take you there." Without saying a word, Lin Lubai picked up his keys and went out.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Lin." Xiang Yi grabbed her phone and rushed towards the door.

"Don't worry, let me ask what's going on first. You should notify your family. It takes about an hour to get from here to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital," Lin Lubai said, patting Xiang Yiyi's hand.

“I only have my grandmother, no other family members. My parents passed away when I was very young,” Xiang Yiyi answered softly.

Lin Lubai looked at Xiang Yiyi with heartache. She was shocked to learn that Yiyi had such a background.

He really wanted to hug her at that moment, but since he was driving, he could only pat her arm.

"Mr. Lin, could you please drive a little faster? I'm in a real hurry." Xiang Yi's voice was trembling.

"Okay." Lin Lubai drove the car at 120 km/h.

"Uncle Ding, this is Xiaobai. Can I do you a favor?" While waiting at a traffic light, Lin Lubai dialed the phone number of the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

"Xiao Bai, just tell me what's wrong. Why are you being so polite with your Uncle Ding?" The person on the other end of the phone didn't mince words when they heard Lin Lubai's urgent voice.

"Uncle Ding, my girlfriend's grandmother just fell and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. We're on our way there. Could you please help me check what's wrong? Her grandmother's name is Liu Xiuzhen." Lin Lubai accurately stated Yi Yi's grandmother's name.

"Okay, I'll go take a look now, don't rush." ​​Dean Ding got up and went to the emergency room.

Xiang Yi was so worried about her grandmother's condition that she didn't even notice that Lin Lubai had just said that she was his girlfriend.

Five minutes later, Lin Lubai's phone rang.

"Xiaobai, your girlfriend's grandmother's condition is not good. The initial diagnosis is an acute myocardial infarction. However, she was rescued in time and has undergone percutaneous coronary intervention. She is currently out of danger. However, given her advanced age, we still need to be cautious with her subsequent treatment and care."

When Dean Ding's voice came through, Xiang Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing that her grandmother was out of danger.

Xiang Yi felt that the road to the hospital was extremely long, as if an eternity had passed before they finally arrived.

Upon arriving in the lobby, Lin Lubai greeted the patients and told Xiang Yiyi to go and keep her grandmother company while he went to pay the bills.

Xiang Yi nodded gratefully and headed straight for her grandmother's ward on the seventh floor.

In the ward, Grandma was unconscious. Having just experienced a brush with death, her face was pale, which really startled Xiang Yi.

Seeing her grandmother like this, Xiang Yi couldn't stop her tears from flowing. Not wanting to wake her grandmother, she quickly ran to the door.

Lin Lubai made arrangements at the hospital, paid the medical bills, and settled his grandmother in a private room before going to find Xiang Yiyi.

"Come here, let me hug you." Seeing Xiang Yiyi crying her eyes out at the door of the ward, Lin Lubai also felt sad.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I don't know how to repay you." Xiang Yi leaned against Lin Lubai's chest.

"Why don't you just marry me? Never mind, I won't tease you. Or you can just call me Xiaobai or Lin Lubai, as a way of repaying me," Lin Lubai teased her.

"Lin Lubai, you're so kind, I'm a little scared," Xiang Yi said softly to herself.

"Let's go eat first. Grandma won't wake up so soon. We can go buy her something to eat while we're at it," Lin Lubai said.

"Mm." Xiang Yi nodded.

After dinner, Xiang Yi went back to visit her grandmother.

Grandma was in a daze and needed someone by her side. Afraid that Grandma would wake up and look for her, Xiang Yi stayed at the hospital to keep Grandma company.

Lin Lubai stayed with Xiang Yiyi, and the two spent the night at the hospital.

The next morning, Lin Lubai went to pay the bill, and Grandma Xiangyi woke up, looking much better than the day before.

"Yi Yi, you must be exhausted?" Grandma patted Yi Yi's head.

"Grandma, you scared me to death!" Seeing her grandmother wake up, Yi Yi held her grandmother's hand tightly.

"Grandma isn't going to die yet. I still want to find you a grandson-in-law." Liu Xiuzhen looked at her granddaughter with some heartache.

The grandmother and granddaughter had depended on each other for so many years, and she was truly afraid that she would just leave like this, leaving Yi Yi all alone.

Liu Xiuzhen wiped her eyes with her hand, and the grandmother and granddaughter hugged each other.

"Yi Yi, Grandma just had surgery. Get up quickly and let her rest." Lin Lubai returned after paying the bill.

“Yes, Grandma, you should rest now. I’ll stay here and watch over you.” Xiang Yi quickly got up.

Lin Lubai helped Xiang Yiyi up, afraid that she would bump into the corner of the table next to her.

"Lin Lubai, thank you." Xiang Yi took the payment slip.

"You're welcome!" Lin Lubai smiled at her, then picked up a water glass and poured a glass of warm water for his grandmother.

"Grandma, you just woke up, drink some warm water to soothe your throat." Lin Lubai put a straw in Grandma's water glass.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Liu Xiuzhen couldn't help but scrutinize the young man more closely.

What a handsome young man! He must be a bit older than Yi Yi. He's very caring and seems to have experienced hardship. Calm, gentle, and attentive, his attire is decent. Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Liu Xiuzhen knew he had also been keeping watch here all night. Everything can be faked, but not the eyes. The way Lin Lubai looked at Yi Yi was exactly like the way his late wife had looked at him years ago.

Liu Xiuzhen knew that Yi Yi had found someone to rely on.

Looking at the sweat on his forehead, the payment slip in his hand, and then at her granddaughter, Liu Xiuzhen made a decision.

"Yi Yi, go buy me a towel. My face feels sticky and uncomfortable," Liu Xiuzhen said, sending Yi Yi away.

"I'll go, Grandma," Lin Lubai said, preparing to leave.

"Lin Lubai, could you please stay here with my grandma for a bit? I'm going to buy some towels." Lin Lubai had just been running around paying for his grandma's bills, so she felt bad about bothering him again.

"Please sit down, Kobayashi."

Liu Xiuzhen spoke, and Lin Lubai sat down.

"You like Yi Yi, don't you?"

Lin Lubai nodded.

"Who else is in your family?" Liu Xiuzhen asked Lin Lubai.

“My mother passed away when I was 8 years old. My father started a new family. I grew up with my maternal grandparents and took my mother’s surname,” Lin Lubai replied calmly.

He was a person with a hard life, but he was a good person, very honest, and trustworthy.

“I know my time is running out. My biggest wish in this life is to see Yi Yi get married, but I think I can still see her get her marriage certificate,” Liu Xiuzhen said.

"Grandma, don't say that. You'll definitely live to be a hundred. I've proposed to Yi Yi, but she hasn't agreed yet." Lin Lubai was a sensible man, but he couldn't explain his current situation with Yi Yi.

“I’ll speak for Yi Yi, but you have to promise me one thing: you have to treat Yi Yi well for the rest of your life and never let her suffer. If one day you can’t make it work, you have to give her a safe and secure future.”

"Okay, I promise you. I won't let her suffer any injustice. I will protect her and be accommodating to her. Don't worry." Lin Lubai thought for a while.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiang Yi returned, panting heavily.

"It's so tiring. We have to walk so far to take the elevator. The elevator design in this hospital is really unreasonable," Xiang Yi complained to her grandmother.

Without saying a word, Lin Lubai went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of warm water, washed the towel, and wrung it out.

Xiang Yi said "thank you" and took the towel to wipe her grandmother's face.

Seeing Lin Lubai's actions, Liu Xiuzhen smiled with satisfaction. She wanted to take this opportunity to let them get their marriage certificate.

"Yi Yi, Grandma knows there's not much time left, but there's a wish I need you to fulfill for me." Liu Xiuzhen looked at Yi Yi with affection.

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying, Grandma? You have to be good to me and accompany me to get married and have children."

"Yi Yi, why don't you and Xiao Lin get your marriage certificate? That would fulfill one of my wishes," Liu Xiuzhen said slowly.
