A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

“That was all in the past. We’ve all grown up now. You should look forward. I’m engaged. She’s a very nice person, I like her very much, and I will marry her.” Jiang Zheyuan looked seriously ahead and said in a cool voice.

Lu Qin felt as if her heart was being stabbed, but she still had to put on a nonchalant smile.

“Brother Zheyuan, you don’t have to hurt me like this. I’m sticking to my own path, and I haven’t stopped you from doing what you’re doing. You think the promises we made when we were little don’t count, but I think they’re the same as the promise Uncle Jiang made to Shao Wanwan’s biological father. No one is more noble than the other; it’s all about your choice. It was your choice that made Shao Wanwan win, but as long as I stick to my own path, I haven’t lost yet.”

When Lu Qin said this, there was a kind of frantic calmness about her.

To Jiang Ranxin, a professor who studies philosophy, it was a completely different and indescribable experience.

In philosophical circles, there are always those who have epiphanies and those who go mad. Lu Qin's words oscillate between madness and epiphany, making people feel that she is crazy, but also inevitably giving rise to sympathy and discomfort.

"Qinqin, you're so wonderful, you don't need to keep looking at my stupid son. He's inferior to you in every way. You deserve better," Jiang Ranxin said with a sigh, unable to bear it any longer.

"Auntie, I know you've always been good to me. I've always considered you my mother. Even if we're not destined to be a real family in this life, it doesn't stop me from already considering you and Brother Zheyuan as family." Lu Qin said with her head down, her voice filled with sadness.

Because Lu Qin returned to China very late.

In her previous life, she and Shao Wanwan had no interaction, so he almost forgot about Lu Qin.

The Lu family and the Jiang family have a deep relationship, and they always have to deal with Lu Qin whenever she returns to China.

Shao Wanwan needs to know this, and it must be made clear to her.

Even though he wasn't alone in the car, she felt an indescribable loneliness.

He had never missed Shao Wanwan as much as he did now.

The more he was with other people, the more he felt the comfort and warmth he experienced when he was with Shao Wanwan.

……

People often feel lonely when faced with prosperity.

The lobby was bustling with couples celebrating the holiday. The Christmas piano music created a special atmosphere, and the snowflakes on the floor-to-ceiling windows were perfect for taking selfies, but she didn't have a phone.

There was a Walkman that Sister Zhao had given me in my schoolbag, but there was already piano music playing in the lobby.

Everything was perfect, but Shao Wanwan still felt an emptiness in her heart.

It wasn't until Jiang Zheyuan jogged towards her carrying a black down jacket, a red and green scarf, and a black hat that Shao Wanwan felt a sense of fulfillment.

She had no idea how much she missed Jiang Zheyuan.

Although they were only separated for a little over an hour.

The moment she saw him, Shao Wanwan made a decision.

She didn't want to go to the party anymore; she wanted to eat Jiang Zheyuan alive...

"Um... do you know how to buy family planning supplies?" Jiang Zheyuan paused as he wrapped a scarf around Shao Wanwan's neck.

In the midst of the bustling, revelrying crowd, he suddenly transformed into a panting statue.

"Um... is what you're talking about the same thing I'm thinking about?" Jiang Zheyuan even felt like he was being too lewd.

“Family planning supplies! It’s almost 1999, not 1969. We don’t need to be so conservative!” Shao Wanwan felt that marriage could wait until graduation, and that things would change between them anyway.

But now I think Jiang Zheyuan tastes good, and it's always good to eat it.

Shao Wanwan never compromises her appetite.

Besides, she wasn't born in this era. If she had met someone like Jiang Zheyuan back then, she definitely wouldn't be a lifelong single.

Jiang Zheyuan suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories about Shao Wanwan.

Actually, she's always been like this...unrestrained.

They are also quite casual about relationships between men and women.

Her own love shone on her, making her forget that she was originally a girl who viewed relationships between men and women very casually.

When the feeling kicks in, you don't care about the consequences; anything goes.

"You...you're not unhappy, are you?" Shao Wanwan didn't see any shyness or excitement on Jiang Zheyuan's face. She only saw that he had a blank face, as if his mood had suddenly become very bad.

Shao Wanwan knew that she always had a reputation problem in Jiang Zheyuan's eyes.

Shao Pei's words, along with the rumors that circulated in high school, would surely make Jiang Zheyuan feel that he was being treated like a plaything.

Just playing around, don't take it seriously.

This is a huge misunderstanding!

“Jiang Zheyuan, it’s because I like you that I’m doing this… We have to take this step eventually. What does it matter if it’s sooner or later? Getting married will only bring more trouble. And if we have children, we’ll have to take care of them. Even if you can afford to hire ten or eight nannies, we as parents have an obligation to be there for them. Then we won’t be able to enjoy our time as a couple anymore. What a loss!” Shao Wanwan had to raise her voice in defense of herself.

If he misunderstands this, it will be terrible.

"You didn't wait for me to finish my physical exam before... taking advantage of me?" Jiang Zheyuan wanted to use humor to ease the shock of hearing Shao Wanwan's confession, so he searched his vocabulary for the word "taking advantage of".

"Anyway, we're not having kids right now. Let's do that first, then get a checkup. If there's infertility, we're both young, we can just get it treated quietly. It's not like you're short of money." Shao Wanwan shrugged indifferently.

“Then we can’t go to a hospital in this city, because my aunt will let my mom and my uncles know within fifteen minutes…” Jiang Zheyuan was completely amused by Shao Wanwan, but he still pretended to be serious.

"Well, let's go somewhere else then, since you're so rich... But, I'm not planning on having a baby right now! You don't want to..."

Before Shao Wanwan could finish speaking, Jiang Zheyuan covered her mouth.

"If you keep talking, there are some things that will have to be done..." Jiang Zheyuan finally stopped blushing.

He was already on the verge of going crazy from holding back his anger.

I did think about it tonight...

After all, when he booked the room, although he also booked a room for himself, he booked the highest-standard executive suite at Sheridan for Shao Wanwan.

The suite's king-size bed is a full two meters long and two meters wide.

However, Lu Qin's appearance dampened his spirits, and he was worried that Shao Wanwan would also be disappointed, so he didn't mention it.

He thought Shao Wanwan had a lot to ask.

After all, Lu Qin and he were childhood sweethearts.

There were five childhood friends, and Lu Qin was the only girl, so she naturally received extra care.

Moreover, Lu Qin had always liked to stick close to her since she was little.

People like to pair them up when playing games or joking around, but he always remained calm and knew very well that it was just children playing house.

Moreover, he has already lived a complete life, and it wasn't an ordinary one.

When he was reborn in this life, he did not relive his childhood. To him, Lu Qin was just an old acquaintance, and there was no longer any other affection between them.
