Don't meet me in your next life.

Upon hearing Lin Lubai's words, Xiang Yi felt like dying.

She cursed Lin Lubai's ancestors in her heart. She wondered what he was thinking, having his ex-girlfriend, or rather, his lover, watch the young couple eat together.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Su Qiaoqiao grabbed Xiang Yiyi's hand and said, "Sister Yiyi, let me take you to eat something delicious. I know a farm where the vegetables are especially fresh..."

"No need, we can just eat at the Western restaurant downstairs. Yi Yi doesn't have that much time," Lin Lubai interrupted Su Qiaoqiao.

"Alright then. But there's a famous couples' restaurant downstairs, I might get fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)." Su Qiaoqiao said.

Xiang Yi's face darkened completely. Was Lin Lubai doing this on purpose? Fine, she thought, she'd just have to bear it. Who told her to get herself into this mess?

"Sister Yi, when did you and Brother Xiaobai meet?" Su Qiaoqiao didn't miss Lin Lubai's affectionate way of addressing Xiang Yi.

"Huh? Oh. We haven't known each other for very long, less than a year, I think." Xiang Yi's face turned as red as a ripe apple as she recalled the day they met.

"Sister Yi, you're already married, yet you still blush when you see couples being intimate."

Su Qiaoqiao thought Xiang Yi blushed because she saw the couple at the table being intimate.

Lin Lubai ignored them and found a two-seater sofa table to sit down.

Su Qiaoqiao saw that she sat down next to Lin Lubai, while Xiang Yi sat down opposite her.

"Su Qiaoqiao, I don't like anyone sitting next to me, otherwise I can't eat," Lin Lubai said.

Xiang Yi looked at him suspiciously. What was Lin Lubai up to? Didn't he used to sit next to her and eat at her house?

Su Qiaoqiao could only pout and sit down next to Xiang Yiyi.

The waiter came over and asked them, "Hello, welcome to our restaurant. This is our menu, please take a look and see what you would like to eat."

"Clear chicken soup, steamed pork ribs, a roast goose, a steamed sea bass, stir-fried celery and beef, two seasonal vegetables, a Hakka steamed tofu, a glass of milk, a glass of milk tea, and a glass of coffee."

After Lin Lu finished ordering, he looked at Xiang Yiyi and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"No need, we can't possibly finish all this," Xiang Yi said.

“You’re eating for two now, so you definitely need to eat more. You’ve gotten so thin from hunger.” Lin Lubai didn’t care about Su Qiaoqiao at all.

"I like spicy food, please add a plate of grilled squid for me."

Su Qiaoqiao was a little annoyed. Lin Lubai ignored her completely, but took extra care of the pregnant woman, Xiang Yiyi.

However, Su Qiaoqiao thought again, she was pregnant, why should she be jealous?

"I heard you just came back from abroad. Are you planning to have your baby in China?" Su Qiaoqiao asked familiarly. "Although I've only just arrived in Shashi, my brother knows some doctors here. He can introduce you if you need anything."

"No need, Miss Su, I haven't decided where to give birth yet," Xiang Yiyi politely declined.

"Give birth at Shashi First Hospital, I'll arrange it for you." Lin Lubai's words seemed like a question, but in reality, he had already made the decision for Xiang Yiyi.

"No need..." Xiang Yi wanted to say that she didn't need him to make arrangements.

However, before Xiang Yi could even open her mouth, Lin Lubai interrupted her: "No need to be so polite, we're already so familiar with each other. Don't worry, I'll make all the arrangements, it will definitely be the best OB-GYN."

“Yes, Sister Yi, you don’t need to be so polite. You’re Brother Xiaobai’s friend, and you’re our friend too,” Su Qiaoqiao said.

Xiang Yi wanted to say something, but Lin Lubai didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

"Brother Xiaobai, Sister Yi hasn't decided where to give birth yet?" Su Qiaoqiao sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

“Why do we need to go anywhere else to give birth? The conditions in Shashi are already very good.” Lin Lubai’s words were gentle yet undeniable.

Su Qiaoqiao had known Lin Lubai for so many years, and this was the first time she had heard him care about someone so much. Moreover, his tone was both domineering and gentle, completely different from when he spoke to her. She was certain that Lin Lubai treated Xiang Yiyi differently.

If it weren't for the child in her belly, Su Qiaoqiao would really believe that Lin Lubai liked Xiang Yiyi, but thinking about the child, she felt it was impossible.

"Yi Yi, once you've decided where you want to give birth, you can tell me. I'll have my brother take care of things for you. He has resources both domestically and internationally." Su Qiaoqiao was a little jealous, and she decided to intercept him directly from there.

"Okay, sure," Xiang Yi said simply.

“No need, Yi Yi’s home is in Shashi, this place is fine.” Lin Lubai said again.

Xiang Yi was a little overwhelmed, feeling that Lin Lubai was doing it on purpose, trying to make her heart race in front of her fiancée? She gasped.

“Brother Xiaobai, this is Sister Yi’s child. You can’t make decisions for her. Sister Yi should at least go back and discuss it with her husband.” Su Qiaoqiao, unaware of the situation, spoke up.

"Yes, let me go back and discuss it. Let's eat." Xiang Yi didn't want to discuss this anymore; it was too agonizing. She couldn't wait to leave, and she couldn't eat.

Seeing that Xiang Yiyi hadn't touched her chopsticks much, and remembering that she had said she was Su Qiaoqiao's wedding dress designer when she came downstairs, Lin Lubai suddenly realized that Xiang Yiyi probably minded his relationship with Su Qiaoqiao.

Lin Lubai's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

Seeing Lin Lubai's smile, Su Qiaoqiao, who was sitting opposite him, asked curiously, "Brother Xiaobai, what are you smiling about?"

"It's nothing. Um, Qiaoqiao, you've eaten, right? Go to Xiao Zhao's and get a document for your brother." Lin Lubai decided to send Su Qiaoqiao away.

"Brother Xiaobai, I'm not full yet," Su Qiaoqiao pouted.

Seeing Su Qiaoqiao like this, Xiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Hmph, this woman can still laugh.

Lin Lubai said somewhat angrily, "Qiaoqiao, you'll get fat if you eat so much. You won't look good if you grow into a pig."

Xiang Yiyi was familiar with Lin Lubai's sharp tongue, but she was somewhat surprised that he would talk back to a girl like this, especially his fiancée.

"Brother Xiaobai, you're so mean. I'm not eating anymore, I'm not eating anymore, I'll take you some documents." This was Su Qiaoqiao's sore spot; she hated it most when people said she was fat.

"Sister Yi, I'm leaving now. Let's meet again next time." Su Qiaoqiao got up a little reluctantly.

"Okay, sure," Xiang Yi said.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling," Lin Lubai said mercilessly.

Su Qiaoqiao understood Lin Lubai; he was trying to get rid of her. She didn't want to be the kind of person he disliked, after all, she wanted to be with him for life.

"Let's go, Sister Yi, you two chat." Su Qiaoqiao left the restaurant.

After Su Qiaoqiao left, Xiang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't dared to breathe too loudly during the meal, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
