Don't meet me in your next life.

In the car, Xiang Yi's mind was filled with Lu Sichen, all the past events, and the current problems.

Lin Lubai's face was gloomy, and Xiang Yi didn't say a word either. Each of them was lost in their own thoughts, and the car was quiet.

Lin Lubai opened the window, letting the wind blow freely.

Xiang Yi's hair was blown about in all directions. She wanted to ask Lin Lubai to close the window, but looking at his furrowed brows, she felt a little scared.

Xiang Yi had many questions. She wanted to find out about the Lu family, why he treated his father like that, and whether Lu Sichen was his brother.

She opened her mouth several times, but seeing Lin Lubai deep in thought, with a "keep away" look in his eyes, she ultimately didn't ask.

The thought that he and Lu Sichen might be brothers made her somewhat worried.

After walking for a while, Lin Lubai said, "Yi Yi, it's Grandpa's birthday on Saturday. I'll take you back for dinner then."

"Okay." Xiang Yi also heard Lu Yaodong's words.

Silence followed again. A jumble of questions made Xiang Yi uneasy. She shifted in and out of the passenger seat, feeling uncomfortable no matter how she moved.

"Don't worry about the dinner party this weekend. I'll prepare a dress for you and accompany you. We'll leave after having dinner with Grandpa."

Looking at the uneasy woman, Lin Lubai assumed she was afraid to attend the weekend dinner party.

"Okay, sure. I can prepare my own dress; clothes are simple for me." Xiang Yi wasn't worried about the banquet; she could handle the basic social etiquette.

"Alright, you can prepare your own clothes, but I'll prepare the gift," Lin Lubai said.

"Okay, as you wish." Xiang Yiyi was very obedient. She had only her grandmother since she was a child, so she was used to obeying her grandmother and was also very filial.

Her only worry was whether Lu Sichen was Lin Lubai's brother. What if they really were brothers? How should she conduct herself, and what would Lin Lubai think of her?

"Yi Yi, don't be nervous. Just think of it as us going to a relative's house for a meal. It's not as formal as meeting the parents." Lin Lubai thought she was nervous and held her hand on the back of her hand.

It was only then that Xiang Yi realized how intimate she and Lin Lubai had become, with their soft, warm, and tender sensations.

Her face immediately flushed red again. Lin Lubai glanced at her red face and pink lips, and when he remembered the two of them in bed that day, his eyes burned with desire.

He couldn't resist taking her hand and kissing it, then quickly putting it down.

Xiang Yi was surprised that Lin Lubai would do this, and Lin Lubai's gentleness made her blush and her heart race even more.

There was a slightly different smell in the car. Lin Lubai smiled and secretly glanced at the shy girl next to him.

Xiang Yi lowered her head. Even though she had been through that one time and held hands so many times, she still felt shy when they were truly intimate.

"I love you like a mouse loves rice..." Xiang Yiyi's phone ringtone broke the ambiguity.

She opened her phone and saw a voice message from her best friend. She turned on the speakerphone to play it.

"Yi Yi, are you really sure you want to get married? Marriage isn't a game, and you can't spend your whole life getting revenge on that jerk." Yi Yi's best friend's message gave her a headache.

"I got it. I'm on my way to the hospital. It's not what you think. I'll tell you later," Xiang Yi replied.

Xiang Yi really hoped that Lin Lubai hadn't heard what she just said, but the car was so quiet, and seeing Lin Lubai's furrowed brows, she knew that Lin Lubai had heard everything she said.

"Um, let me explain. I didn't marry you to get revenge on him," Xiang Yi explained.

"Yes, I know, because of Grandma." Hearing Xiang Yi's explanation, Lin Lubai's furrowed brows relaxed a little.

Xiang Yi wanted to say that it wasn't just because of her grandmother, but also because she had indeed developed feelings for him, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Before Xiang Yiyi could figure out what to say, the car had already arrived at the hospital. The two of them parked the car and went straight to find their grandmother with the marriage certificate.

"Grandma, here's our marriage certificate." Xiang Yi smiled and handed the red booklet to Liu Xiuzhen.

Upon seeing their marriage certificate, Liu Xiuzhen smiled happily, finally putting her mind at ease.

"Grandma, have some water." Lin Lubai handed Liu Xiuzhen a water cup.

Liu Xiuzhen put down her water glass, took Lin Lubai's hand, and asked him all sorts of questions. Lin Lubai respectfully answered his grandmother's questions.

Xiang Yi let her grandmother and Lin Lubai exchange pleasantries while she pondered how to confess her relationship with Lu Sichen to Lin Lubai.

Seeing Lin Lubai laughing happily with his grandmother, Yi's eyes warmed. Lin Lubai sometimes seemed cold and gloomy, but he was very warm towards the family he considered his family.

His profile is particularly handsome. When he's not smiling, he looks cold and gives off a sense of pressure, but when he smiles, he's incredibly sweet.

Perhaps he really is my destiny, the one who will accompany me for life, Xiang Yiyi said, looking tenderly at Lin Lubai.

Feeling a pair of eyes staring at him, Lin Lubai turned his head and smiled at Xiang Yi, even giving her a flirtatious wink, which made Xiang Yi's face turn bright red instantly.

After finally getting Grandma to sleep, Xiang Yi and Lin Lubai finally had a chance to talk.

"Lin Lubai, I have something I want to tell you," Xiang Yiyi said softly to Lin Lubai.

"Okay, don't wake Grandma, let's go talk on the balcony." Lin Lubai pointed to the balcony behind.

"Lin Lubai, I've told you before, I had a first love, and we just broke up, you know that." Xiang Yi was a little nervous and also a little sad.

She can pretend to forget that past if she doesn't mention it, but it still hurts terribly when she does.

"Yes, I know, I don't mind, don't worry." Lin Lubai gave Xiang Yiyi a reassuring look.

"But I still feel I should make things clear to you," Xiang Yi said, somewhat conflicted.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't. I know you haven't fallen in love with me so quickly, but we're already husband and wife, and we have plenty of time to cultivate our feelings." Lin Lubai thought Xiang Yiyi wanted to tell him that she hadn't fallen in love with him yet.

"I want to say that my first love was..." Xiang Yi lowered her head, looking somewhat worried.

Lin Lubai's phone rang, interrupting Xiang Yiyi's conversation with a call from his assistant, Xiao Zhao.

"It's okay, I don't care about your past," Lin Lubai said before answering the phone.

"Mr. Lin, something's happened. The factory says they can't deliver our goods and we can't get the raw materials. You need to come back right away," Xiao Zhao said anxiously on the phone.

"Okay, I'll go back right away." Lin Lubai said with a serious expression.

"Yi Yi, I have to go back to Lucheng for a few days. Take good care of Grandma first, and call me if anything happens," Lin Lubai instructed.

"Give me your phone!" Lin Lubai reached out his hand.

"Huh? Oh." Xiang Yi handed over the phone.

Lin Lubai quickly entered her number and added the note: Husband.

Then he handed the phone back to Yi Yi: "This is my other number. Call this number. It's on 24/7."

"Let's go. Talk to Grandma when she wakes up." Lin Lubai hugged Yi Yi and kissed her.

Before Yi Yi could understand what was happening, Lin Lubai rushed down the stairs.
