After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Three years have passed, and the scales in her heart have long since tipped, making her admire Mu Liangyue's resilience and kindness even more.

Needless to say, Mu Liangyue was her savior.

As for Lu Sijian, with a three-year time gap, the two of them are no longer on the same wavelength, are they?

Previously, because Lu Sijian had just woken up, they were worried that her body was too weak to accept it immediately, so they kept it a secret.

Now that the other person's health is gradually improving, she no longer needs to worry too much.

“But I can’t find the time, so there’s nothing I can do.” Shen Baolin smiled without batting an eye. “After all, you also said that you hope I can achieve something in my career.”

How ironic that the person who pushed others to work hard and improve themselves ended up achieving nothing.

Even if Lu Sijian is unwilling to admit it, the fact is that she will probably have to rely on her family's glory to make a living in the future.

Lu Sijian understood Shen Baolin's smile and was somewhat speechless.

"Baolin, I heard your boss values ​​you a lot, which means you're very capable. You'll definitely get a promotion and a raise soon, and become a manager!"

"Thank you for your kind words," Shen Baolin replied calmly.

If this is sarcasm, then it doesn't matter, because she genuinely has that confidence.

She has recently made some progress at work, and her boss has praised her in meetings more than once.

Lu Sijian smiled even more sincerely: "Then I'll treat you to a big meal when you get a promotion and a raise."

[You think I'm being sarcastic? No, no, no, I'm genuinely looking forward to a big meal!]

You're quite accomplished, valued by your superiors, and a promotion and raise are a certainty, but your own company is in a terrible state.

[You really think they value your abilities? They're only after the Shen family. They set a trap for you, and you just fell for it, obediently handing over confidential information, clients, and resources.]

While others get luckier the harder they work, the harder you work, the faster your company goes bankrupt.

You might as well just drift through life like other rich kids.

Lu Lingbai was completely shocked. Was Baolin really that stupid? She believed everything people said?

Shen Baolin's face slowly darkened. She held back her anger and asked, "Are you being sincere?"

She immediately regretted her slip of the tongue.

Sure enough, Lou Xiao's voice came from behind, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Sijian looked weak and helpless. "Baolin, did I say something wrong again?"

Seeing Lou Xiao's gaze sweep over her, Shen Baolin slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration.

"No, it's just that it's a bit too early for you to say these things now."

She turned to look at Wang Ma and said, "You don't need to keep asking me if I'm free. I'm busy with work and don't have time, but I will definitely try my best to make time on the day of the jewelry exhibition."

Wang Ma's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Miss Baolin!"

Lu Sijian smiled meaningfully, "Baolin, you're so kind."

【It's too early to cut ties with me now, honey~~】

Shen Baolin lowered her head, her face somewhat cold.

If this is Lu Sijian's way of trying to bind him, he should be satisfied now, right?

Lu Lingbo coughed lightly. "Alright, it's getting late. Jian, are you hungry? Why don't we go eat first?"

Lu Sijian gave him another meaningful look.

I almost forgot about you, you silly goose.

[You just secretly finished watching Mu Liangyue, right? You and Shen Baolin truly deserve to be the female lead's right and left protectors. You're always around her, even if you break a bone, you'd run to her for help.]

[With all that fussing, no wonder his bones grew crooked and had to be broken and reattached.]

Lu Lingbo froze, feeling a burning pain in his injured foot.

No way, he's in such a terrible state?!

Shen Baolin walked over and helped Lu Lingbo up. She believed that he felt the same way as her and didn't want to stay and comfort Lu Sijian.

Everyone is busy; who has time to play along with her running away from home act?

"Brother Lingbo, the doctor told you to rest at home and try to stay home as much as possible. How about I give you a ride home on my way?"

Lu Lingbo said anxiously, "But I want to stay with A-Jian..."

He hadn't done what he promised Aunt Ye, and he didn't want to leave.

Lu Sijian looked touched and said, "Second brother, you're so kind."

[Hehe, you said it yourself, I'm going shopping and doing a city walk later! I'll eat my hat if I don't cripple both your legs~]

Lu Lingbai froze. Was his sister joking?

Lou Xiao made the final decision: "Baolin, you take Lingbai home."

Lu Sijian felt deeply regretful.

Lou Xiao looked at the expression on her face, paused for two seconds, and then said, "Ah Jian, I have something to tell you."

-

That's what he said, but Lou Xiao didn't say anything right away. Instead, he took Lu Sijian out for a meal first.

After the meal, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Lou Xiao's assistant came in with several people.

It wasn't until she received the engagement party planning proposal that Lu Sijian realized what she was doing.

Lu Sijian was in a coma for three years, but Lou Xiao remained devoted to her. In the second month after she woke up, he proposed to her.

However, just like in many TV dramas, the male lead and the villainous female supporting character did not rush to get their marriage certificate, but instead decided to hold an engagement banquet first.

Lu Sijian is in poor health and has been undergoing rehabilitation; Lou Xiao has been pushing this forward.

Now that she is much better, her engagement party is on the agenda.

After listening to the designer's explanation, Lou Xiao turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Sijian: "...Everything is fine, I have no objections."

She genuinely had no objections; the engagement was definitely not going to happen anyway.

The engagement banquet is like a carrot, dangling the stubborn female supporting character along, but there's absolutely no way she'll get to eat it.

The male lead can only belong to the female lead; the wicked female supporting character has no right to even touch him.

Lou Xiao frowned; Lu Sijian's reaction was too indifferent.

He started planning this engagement ceremony as soon as Lu Sijian woke up, and the scale of it was even grander than some formal weddings.

His purpose was to firmly declare to everyone that he would marry no one but Lu Sijian in this lifetime.

If this can't put her mind at ease, then she...

What a perfect man! Handsome, from a wealthy family, and a rising business tycoon, with countless suitors, yet he remains devoted to his comatose fiancée... No wonder the female lead couldn't help but fall in love with him.

Lou Xiao's eyes darkened: "I have nothing to do with Mu Liangyue!"

Lu Sijian was startled. Why were they suddenly so loud? "I didn't say you had anything."

Lou Xiao grasped her hand firmly, his eyes filled with determination, "Ah Jian, you've always been the only one in my heart."

"Mu Liangyue almost killed you, I hate her so much! Do you know, when I saw you fall from the building, all I wanted to do was kill her!"

He witnessed it firsthand downstairs that the assailant originally intended to stab Mu Liangyue.

Lu Sijian blocked the knife, and then with all her might, she hugged the crazed thug and jumped off the building.

Throughout the entire process, Mu Liangyue seemed terrified and did not step forward to help.

If she had helped to disarm the assailant immediately, Lu Sijian might not have ended up dying alongside the criminal.

Whenever he thinks of these things, Lou Xiao can't control his violent temper.

Lu Sijian blurted out instinctively, "But she's innocent too..."

"No, she's not innocent! She knows that scumbag, they're even friends! But she couldn't stop him, and she dragged you down with her!" Lou Xiao's eyes were filled with deep hatred.

That's completely unreasonable of you. The law doesn't stipulate that friends have an obligation to persuade a murderer to lay down their weapons.

"They're more than just friends. That scumbag said Mu Liangyue is his benefactor..."

That doesn't stop him from wanting to stab his benefactor in the back.
