Don't meet me in your next life.

"Yi Yi, thank you," Lu Sichen said.

Xiang Yi put down her milk: "Lu Sichen, I was very happy that you accompanied me for a while. Now, fate has played a trick on us, and we can't be lovers, but we can still be good friends. Besides, you are the uncle of the child in my belly."

"Okay, I'm finished eating. My nephew's mom." Lu Sichen's hand under the table was tightly gripping his pants.

"You're such a smooth talker." Xiang Yi looked at Lu Sichen; he was still as warm as ever.

I didn't want to let go, but our fate was too shallow.

"I'm going to the company first. Call me if anything comes up." Lu Sichen got up and left.

"Yes, just tell me if you need anything, don't hesitate," Xiang Yi said to him as she looked up.

"Okay." Uncle Zhang came over to pick up Lu Sichen and take him to the company.

Xiang Yi finished her breakfast in silence, tidied herself up, and decided to go find Lin Lubai.

Although what happened last night was indeed a bit awkward, no matter what, she had to see Lin Lubai. She hoped that he wouldn't affect the relationship between the brothers.

"Lin Lubai, I want to see you." Xiang Yi sent him a message.

"I'm at the company, you can come over." Lin Lubai was secretly delighted.

This woman, she just did that last night, and now she already misses him?

Lin Lubai quickly assigned all the work, even having someone pour out the morning tea and buy fruit tea instead.

Xiao Zhao looked at his boss with some confusion. What was going on? He wasn't drinking coffee or tea anymore, but now he was serving fruit tea? Had his boss changed his ways?

When Xiang Yi arrived at Lin Lubai's office, Lin Lubai was sitting upright on the sofa drinking fruit tea, with Xiao Zhao sitting next to him, and the two of them talking about something.

Xiang Yi was taken aback when she saw the fruit tea in Lin Lubai's hand. Lin Lubai was quite health-conscious. She thought he was the kind of domineering CEO who relied on coffee to get through the day in the office. This scene was a bit cringe-worthy.

Suppressing the urge to laugh, Xiang Yi approached Lin Lubai and said, "President Lin, I'd like to have a talk with you."

She felt uneasy, wanting to call him Lin Lubai, but she was afraid of being misunderstood, since he had a fiancée.

When Xiao Zhao saw Xiang Yiyi walking over, he finally understood why his boss had suddenly changed to fruit tea. He tactfully got up and left.

After Xiao Zhao left, Lin Lubai slowly spoke: "Sit down. What's wrong? You were so intimate last night, but today you're keeping such a distance, and you're even calling me President Lin?"

"Um, let's forget about last night, shall we?" Xiang Yi sat down, blushing.

"Forgot? Xiang Yiyi, you were incredibly seductive in bed, and now you're telling me you've forgotten?" Lin Lubai was somewhat displeased.

"Let's pretend last night never happened, so people won't misunderstand," Xiang Yiyi reiterated.

"Being misunderstood? You're afraid Lu Sichen will misunderstand, aren't you?" Lin Lubai said angrily.

"Lin Lubai, you really don't need to do this." Xiang Yiyi was a little annoyed; Lin Lubai didn't give her a chance to explain at all.

Seeing her angry only fueled Lin Lubai's anger, but he could only try his best to suppress it.

"Speak, what brings you here? Are you here to plead for Lu Sichen?"

Lin Lubai stated it directly.

“I hope you won’t involve Lu Sichen in our affairs. It’s really not what you think about us.”

Explain to Yi.

"What I thought? What did I think? You're Lu Sichen's girlfriend, you slept with me, got a child, and then went to Lu Sichen. If I hadn't shown up last night, we'd probably be lonely and bored." Lin Lubai blurted out all the words that had been stuck in his chest.

"Lin Lubai, what are you thinking? Lu Sichen is my first love, I don't deny it, but we've never crossed that line. We're just friends now," Xiang Yi explained nervously.

"You're talking to me as a friend? Then what are you doing here?" Lin Lubai retorted.

“I know you feel that I’m playing both sides between you brothers, and I know you don’t want this child. I will handle all of this, but I hope that our matter will not involve Lu Sichen. I hurt you, I’m sorry, if you want revenge, come to me.” Xiang Yiyi almost pleaded with Lin Lubai.

"You think I'll agree to give up a hundred million just because you beg me like this? Are you even worth a hundred million? Besides, I'm seeking revenge on you, what do you have to offer me?" Lin Lubai said angrily. He hadn't expected Xiang Yi to beg him for Lu Sichen's sake.

"I can be your lover, your servant, anything you want," Xiang Yi said slowly.

Lin Lubai leaned forward, grabbed Xiang Yiyi's chin, and lifted it up.

"Really, anything? Even if I make you disappear from Lu Sichen's sight, never set foot in Shashi again? Or even become my underground tool?"

“Okay, but I need a year. During this year, I want to stay by Lu Sichen's side, just as a friend. Also, no matter what, treat the child well. He is mine, and he is yours too,” Xiang Yi said softly.

"I still can't bear to part with Lu Sichen, I still want to spend another year with him!" Lin Lubai sneered.

"Lin Lubai, please, give me another year," Xiang Yi pleaded.

“I’ll do whatever you say!” Lin Lubai said.

"Anything is fine, as long as Mr. Lin is happy." Xiang Yi only hoped that Lu Sichen could spend his last days happily.

"Okay, I promise you. But how can I trust that there's nothing between you and Lu Sichen?" Lin Lubai asked.

"Lin Lubai, it's only a year. Can you give me some trust? Besides, I'm due in less than two months, and then I'll have to go through postpartum confinement and take care of the baby," Xiang Yi said calmly.

"Didn't you do it with me last night? With him? How would I know?" Lin Lubai was angry that she would agree to such a condition for Lu Sichen.

"Then what do you want me to do to make you believe me?" Xiang Yi said coldly.

Looking at Xiang Yiyi like this, Lin Lubai felt a strange pang in his heart, and his face softened a little. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but when he thought that she was doing this for Lu Sichen, his face instantly turned cold again.

"Okay, I believe you."

Lin Lubai took out a cigarette, intending to smoke it. He glanced at Xiang Yiyi, then put it back.

"Alright, I hope President Lin will keep his word and give the Lu family a way out, and not target Lu Sichen. A year from now, I'll come to your side and follow your arrangements." Xiang Yi stared at Lin Lubai.

"Okay, you said it, don't go back on your word." Lin Lubai gritted his teeth.

"I won't go back on my word. Mr. Lin can have someone draft a contract, and I'll sign it."

Xiang Yi thought to herself that exchanging her whole life for a hundred million and Lu Sichen's final happiness was worth it.

Seeing her righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Lin Lubai snorted coldly.

"Xiao Zhao, draft a contract for me and send it over. I need to give you a brief overview of the requirements." Lin Lubai called Xiao Zhao in front of Xiang Yiyi.

Xiang Yi felt so embarrassed and ashamed that she wanted to knock herself unconscious with a stick.
