Don't meet me in your next life.

Just after midnight, Lin Lubai was woken up by a phone call.

"Boss, have you seen the information online?" Xiao Zhao called Lin Lubai.

"Get to the point, don't beat around the bush," Lin Lubai mumbled, still half-asleep.

"Just after midnight, someone posted a video of Su Qiaoqiao being interviewed online. You will be marrying her soon," Xiao Zhao said excitedly.

"Su Qiaoqiao exposed herself?" Lin Lubai immediately sat up.

“Yes, she was surrounded in a shopping mall, and the media asked her to talk about your situation. She blurted it out,” Xiao Zhao said. “Now it’s trending on social media, and tomorrow’s front page will definitely be about your wedding.”

"It seems things aren't something I can control or not control. Su Qiaoqiao is just stirring things up," Lin Lubai said.

"No, now that she's made that statement, you're not obligated to marry her?" Xiao Zhao asked.

“Yeah, at worst I’ll give her a simple wedding. Then I’ll ignore her. That’s what I made clear with her brother.” Lin Lubai couldn’t help but sneer.

"That's so unfair to Su Qiaoqiao," Xiao Zhao said, feeling indignant on her behalf.

"Why don't you think she orchestrated this herself? What do you think of Su Qiaoqiao? Is she naive?" Lin Lubai asked him.

“She seems quite innocent and cute on the surface. I always thought she was a kind person, but I accidentally overheard her talking to Lu Xiaoxi last time and realized that she is not a kind person.” Xiao Zhao added, “But she is very persistent towards you.”

"Did you investigate her? Did you find out anything about her life abroad?" Lin Lubai asked.

“I found some information. She’s quite famous abroad. She’s involved in many things and has received a lot of awards. She’s the kind of person who likes to be in the spotlight,” Xiao Zhao replied.

"Then do you still think she's naive?" Lin Lubai asked rhetorically.

"To be able to make such a splash abroad, she can't be that innocent. And the fact that she gave up everything abroad to return to China must be for you," Xiao Zhao analyzed. "It seems that this Su Qiaoqiao is quite a character, and a skilled one at that."

"You're not stupid, you get it right away." Lin Lubai smiled. "Alright, she wants a wedding, so I'll give her one, but before that, I have to do something first."

"What is it?" Xiao Zhao asked, puzzled.

"I want to remarry Xiang Yiyi first, so they can't force me into marriage anymore, since I'm already a married man," Lin Lubai said.

"You think you can just remarry like that? I doubt your wife would be too happy about it," Xiao Zhao said.

“I’ll decide that. I’ll go remarry at dawn, and then go back to my maternal grandfather’s house. If things don’t hold up, I’ll reveal my hand,” Lin Lubai said.

"You've got a really good plan," Xiao Zhao said with a smile.

"Of course, they don't even consider who their target is. Okay, go to sleep. Wait for my call tomorrow." Lin Lubai hung up the phone.

They're too green to even think about messing with Lin Lubai.

The next morning at seven o'clock, Lin Lubai got up to make breakfast.

Fearing she wouldn't like it, he specially prepared many different dishes, enough for five or six people.

He took out a takeout box, packed his breakfast, and went over to eat with his Yi Yi.

During her pregnancy, Lin Lubai was unable to help her and spent little time with her, and now he wants to make up for it.

As soon as Xiang Yi got up, Lin Lubai was already at her doorstep.

When Lin Lubai rang the doorbell, Xiao Qing opened the door.

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here, you scumbag," Xiao Qing cursed at him directly.

"I'm here to see Yi Yi, not you. Shut your mouth." Lin Lubai's eyes were cold, and he walked inside looking like he wanted to devour someone.

Xiao Qing snorted, but did not stop him.

Lin Lubai went into the restaurant by himself, put the prepared breakfast on the table, heated up a cup of milk, and then went upstairs to find Xiang Yiyi.

"Xiao Qing, what do you want for breakfast later?" Xiang Yi thought it was Xiao Qing.

"I've cooked it for you," Lin Lubai said gently.

"Why are you here?" Xiang Yi had just let go of him completely last night, but he brought her breakfast early this morning.

"I want to register our marriage later and remarry," Lin Lubai said directly.

"No, what are you thinking? I'm already being nice by agreeing to be your secret lover, and now you want to use me as a target?" Xiang Yi asked him.

“If I don’t do this, I’ll have to marry Su Qiaoqiao. Are you willing to do that?” Lin Lubai asked.

"Who you marry is none of my business," Xiang Yi said coldly.

Lin Lubai wrapped his arm around Xiang Yiyi's waist and fiercely kissed her lips.

Unlike his usual gentle kisses, this one was domineering and forceful.

Feeling a sharp pain, Xiang Yi pushed him away forcefully.

Lin Lubai also let go, because Xiang Yiyi was pregnant and he had to be careful not to hurt their child.

"Lin Lubai, what exactly do you want?" Xiang Yi's face was flushed. "You just slept with Su Qiaoqiao and showed off your love with your fiancée, but you come here to me saying you want to marry me."

"Are you jealous?" Lin Lubai laughed instead of getting angry.

"Why would I be jealous? I just don't want you to make me a target, to make my child the target of everyone's criticism, and to end up with some kind of son who's a homewrecker," Xiang Yi said angrily.

"Then how can you bear to let your son be born without a father?" Lin Lubai asked him.

“If I wanted, he could have ten thousand fathers,” Xiang Yi retorted.

"You dare!" Lin Lubai was provoked by her.

“You said it yourself, I can’t let my child be born without a father. I can marry Lu Sichen and then get a divorce,” Xiang Yi said stubbornly.

"Do you really think I'm dead? If you don't remarry me today, I'll make sure the Lu family is wiped out." Lin Lubai threatened.

“You… shameless,” Xiang Yi said coldly.

"Shameless? You haven't seen how shameless I am. I dare to sleep with my own brother's woman, and I even dare to send my own father to prison!" Lin Lubai's eyes were cold, with a murderous look in them.

Xiang Yi had never seen Lin Lubai like this before, and this was the first time she had ever felt afraid of him.

"I'm giving you one hour. Have breakfast, bring your divorce certificate, ID card, and household registration book, and we're going to remarry. Otherwise, you know the consequences..." Lin Lubai ordered her angrily.

"Why do you always drag Lu Sichen into our affairs?" Xiang Yi asked angrily.

"Why do you think that is?" Lin Lubai sneered.

If it weren't for Xiang Yi's feelings for Lu Sichen, would he have gone to such lengths, carrying his child while entangled with his younger brother?

"I don't know." Xiang Yi said angrily and ignored him.

Brushing her teeth, washing her face, combing her hair—wherever Lin Lubai was, Xiang Yiyi always had a dark expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, Lin Lubai could only go downstairs and wait for her.
