Don't meet me in your next life.

Xiao Qing and Xiang Yi were chatting when Lu Sichen went out and bought groceries and fruit, then cut a fruit platter for his best friend.

Seeing Xiang Yiyi and Xiao Qing laughing and joking happily, Lu Sichen couldn't help but smile. He liked her; he liked her pure smile, her kindness, and her positivity.

From the kitchen window, Lu Sichen could see where Xiang Yiyi and her best friend were sitting, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

If only we could always be this happy. Lu Sichen looked at Xiang Yiyi from the kitchen, a smile playing on his lips.

Three hours later, dinner was ready; Lu Sichen had prepared a table full of dishes.

Seeing how happy they were, Lu Sichen took out a few bottles of cocktails, gave one to Xiao Qing, took one for himself, and handed Xiang Yi a glass of juice.

Just as Lu Sichen was about to open the bottle, he took it from Yi Yi and said, "Don't drink it, it's bad for your health."

"Okay." Lu Sichen looked at him affectionately and changed the bottle of juice.

Xiao Qing looked at them meaningfully and said, "You two have a chance."

"While eating, Xiang Yi directly put a large shrimp on Xiao Qing's plate." She didn't tell Xiao Qing about Lu Sichen's illness.

The three of them happily ate dinner. After dinner, they sat in the yard playing cards, and the loser had to stick a note on their card.

Xiang Yi's card skills were poor, and she was already covered in cards, but Lu Sichen and Xiao Qing were not spared either.

When Lin Lubai and Xiao Zhao came in, they saw the three of them laughing and sticking notes all over their faces.

"Xiang Yiyi, it seems you're doing quite well without me," Lin Lubai couldn't help but say, his jealousy rising.

Upon hearing his voice, the three of them stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.

Xiang Yi stood up. With her delicate features and sharply defined face, this was the person she had been thinking about day and night.

She longed to go and hug him, to tell him how much she missed him. Yet, at his engagement ceremony, his bride, Xiang Yi's hands trembled.

Lu Sichen took in all of Xiang Yiyi's actions. He moved closer to her and took her hand.

Xiang Yi glanced at him and calmed down a little.

"President Lin, you seem to be doing quite well too. Why aren't you with your fiancée? What are you doing here?" Xiao Qing broke the silence.

"Brother, did you come to see me?" Lu Sichen hoped that Lin Lubai had come to see him, as he didn't want Yi Yi to get hurt.

Lin Lubai ignored them, walked over directly, and took Xiang Yiyi's hand: "Come with me."

Lu Sichen blocked his way: "What do you want to do?"

Seeing that the two were about to get angry, Xiang Yi spoke up: "Lu Sichen, let me talk to him."

Xiao Qing and Xiao Zhao tactfully withdrew.

Lu Sichen looked at Xiang Yiyi with some concern, and Xiang Yiyi shook her head at him.

Seeing Xiang Yiyi and Lu Sichen's interaction, Lin Lubai felt like his heart was on fire. He wanted to get angry and question her fiercely about how she could be so cold-blooded.

Hearing Xiang Yiyi say that, Lu Sichen also turned around and went into the guesthouse.

"Please sit down, Mr. Lin." Xiang Yi used the form of address to create distance between the two.

Hearing this address, Lin Lu felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.

"Xiang Yiyi, shouldn't you give me an explanation? You disappeared for 226 days with my son, and now you're here with Lu Sichen," Lin Lubai asked.

"I have nothing to explain, I just love the blue sky and white clouds here." Xiang Yi tried hard to suppress her emotions.

"Have you been with Lu Sichen all this time?" Lin Lubai asked her.

"No, I just got back from abroad," Xiang Yi said.

"Then why didn't you come back to me? Why did you come to Lu Sichen instead? Is this child his?" Lin Lubai asked angrily.

"Lin Lubai, what do you want?" Xiang Yi was angry. Did he come to her just to question whether the child was his?

"What do I want to do? I want to ask you what you want to do. I've been looking for you for so long, and the first thing you do when you come back is to find Lu Sichen, and all of you are laughing so happily. I almost forgot that you never loved me, otherwise you wouldn't have left so decisively." Lin Lubai laughed self-deprecatingly.

Hearing him say those words, Xiang Yi's heart ached.

“Xiang Yiyi, I’m giving you two choices: either come back with me, or I never see you again,” Lin Lubai said angrily.

"Lin Lubai, is this goodbye forever?" Xiang Yi didn't know whether she was asking him or herself.

"Xiang Yiyi!" Lin Lubai shouted angrily.

“President Lin, I think you should understand that we were divorced before I went abroad, and you already have a fiancée,” Xiang Yi said.

These words immediately deflated Lin Lubai. Yes, they were all divorced.

Seeing Lin Lubai like this, Xiang Yi laughed at herself inwardly. See, she still cares about her fiancé.

"Xiang Yiyi, the child is mine, isn't it?" Lin Lubai didn't know what Xiang Yiyi was thinking.

"Didn't I say this when we got divorced? I can raise the child myself, and he won't appear in front of you. You don't need to worry." Xiang Yi clenched her fists, thinking he was worried that the child would affect them.

"I understand. The child is Lu Sichen's, right?" Lin Lubai thought the child was Lu Sichen's, which is why Xiang Yiyi acted this way.

"This has nothing to do with you. Don't come looking for me again." Xiang Yi was very angry. How could he do this? For his fiancée, he would even disown his own child?

"Hehe, I knew it, you finally admitted it," Lin Lubai said.

“Admit it? What did I admit? Lin Lubai, we're already divorced,” Xiang Yiyi said again.

“Xiang Yiyi, come back with me. I’ll give you anything you want. Anything Lu Sichen can give, I can give you,” Lin Lubai said.

"No need, what I want, you can't give me," Xiang Yi said.

"You're planning to spend your whole life here with Lu Sichen? Didn't you say you wanted to open a studio? You're giving up your dreams for him?" Lin Lubai still had a sliver of hope.

Her dream? Yes, her studio, but does it matter? In the face of life, death, and loss, it really doesn't matter. She doesn't lack money.

Seeing her silence, Lin Lubai assumed she was hesitating: "Xiang Yiyi, I can give you everything you want, I can open a design company for you, and I can give you the best resources."

"Lin Lubai, thank you. But I don't need any of that. Right now, I just want to stay here and enjoy myself for a while, until the baby is born, and then I can be with him." Xiang Yi felt a pang of sadness as she thought of Lu Sichen.

"To accompany him?" Lin Lubai thought for a moment. "Is this Lu Sichen?"

"Yes." Xiang Yi didn't want to lie to him.

"Xiang Yiyi, I misjudged you." Lin Lubai slammed his fist hard on the table, causing it to fall to the ground with a loud bang.

Xiang Yi was startled and quickly stood up.

The three people outside heard the noise and immediately came in. Lu Sichen quickly ran to Xiang Yiyi's side to check if she was alright.

Seeing Lu Sichen treat Xiang Yi like that, Lin Lubai completely lost his mind.

He grabbed Lu Sichen and started hitting him. Lu Sichen was not to be outdone, and the two of them wrestled together.
