After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll find someone to take you there."

Their publishing house has cars, so Song Qin found a young man who could drive to give her a ride.

Lin Yuyao calculated the time and realized that she really wouldn't be able to catch the last bus, so she didn't refuse.

The driver was a young man, looking to be in his early twenties, and quite refined.

During our conversation along the way, I learned that he was also an editor at the same publishing house, and that he was in charge of children's books.

No wonder he sometimes sounds a bit like a kindergarten teacher when he speaks.

For example, if a reduplicated word occasionally comes out, the voice will uncontrollably turn into the tone of a children's program host.

Having chatted for a while and gotten quite familiar with each other, Lin Yuyao asked him with a smile, "Do you usually talk to your elders like this?"

what?

The other person covered their mouth embarrassedly, then laughed and said, "I'll try my best to control myself. Oh dear, it's all because of appearing on children's programs. The more I interact with kids, the more this happens."

"You even appear on children's programs?"

"They're on TV, but they haven't reached the level of being on camera yet. They're just helping the hosts who are on camera take care of the kids. Kids aren't as obedient as adults when they're on TV, so there are usually several people helping out in order for the show to go smoothly."

Lin Yuyao chatted with him all the way, gaining a preliminary understanding of their publishing house and children's programs.

These were things she had never been able to experience in her previous life.

As they were talking, they were almost there. Lin Yuyao said, "Mr. Chen, I've arrived. Could you please stop at the next intersection?"

"Row."

After crossing the intersection ahead, he asked, "Xiao Lin, is this place okay?"

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. Remember to take your things with you."

After getting off the car, Lin Yuyao carefully took the document bag, which contained the contract she had just signed that day.

Then he stood by the roadside and waved to the people in the car, saying, "Mr. Chen, thank you, please drive carefully."

The other person waved to her, then turned the car around and drove away.

It was already dark, and the streetlights were on.

This is near the pedestrian street, and there are quite a few people coming and going around it.

Lin Yuyao quickly walked back, clutching the file bag.

She didn't notice the people waiting at the intersection.

He had been holding back from seeing her for over half a month, but he couldn't resist today, so he brought two books over and said he wanted to see her.

Unfortunately, it happened to be her day off.

He returned to the rented apartment, only to find that none of the lights were on.

This is not normal. Her life is very simple, going back and forth between two points. When she is not working, she is usually at home.

So he went out to look for it.

Unexpectedly, he saw her get out of someone else's car.

That person was someone he knew.

That one from the Chen family.

They had just met last month.

How did she come to know him?

Fu Huaiyi felt uneasy and had a feeling that his home had been raided.

The weather was so hot and humid that he unbuttoned the second button of his shirt and quickly went upstairs.

Go home and turn on the fan.

But somehow, the leg went straight up to the fifth floor.

When he realized this and turned to go downstairs, he was surprised to find that the door to the fifth-floor room was open.

Lin Yuyao, carrying a trash can, looked at him in surprise.

Fu Huaiyi is now in a predicament where neither option is right nor wrong.

After a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Go take out the trash?"

Lin Yuyao nodded.

"Yes, I was in a rush this morning and forgot about it."

Did she leave this morning?

So she was out all day and just came back?

Did she spend the whole day with that Chen family boy?

Fu Huaiyi felt both flustered and uneasy.

"I was engrossed in going upstairs and didn't pay attention to the floor. I accidentally climbed an extra floor and was just about to go downstairs."

He looked at the trash can in her hand and said, "I also have some trash to take out, so I'll take it out for you too."

"Hey……"

Before she could say anything, Fu Huaiyi had already grabbed the trash can and run downstairs.

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Lin Yuyao had never thought about that before, always believing that Fu Huaiyi was simply helping out.

But ever since she heard what Lu Jiangting said last time, she looked at him with a more observant gaze.

She didn't miss the subtle changes in his expression.

Although he really did a good job of hiding it.

However, when he grabbed the trash can, he accidentally touched her hand, and the subtle, almost imperceptible expression that flashed across his face betrayed him.

Lin Yuyao's feelings were complicated. She didn't want Lu Jiangting to be right, so her past feelings of gratitude turned into something awkward.

Even someone as intelligent as Fu Huaiyi sensed something was wrong.

When he returned the trash can, he didn't even dare to do it to her in person.

Instead, he knocked on her door and said, "I left your trash can by the door, please get it yourself."

After putting it down, he quickly went downstairs.

When Lin Yuyao opened the door, she only saw a figure quickly going downstairs and disappearing in a flash.

The trash can was clean and placed right by the door.

Could it be that she's overthinking it?

She felt that Fu Huaiyi was different from Lu Jiangting.

He's not the kind of person Lu Jiangting described.

……

For more than half a month, Lin Yuyao didn't see that annoying Lu Jiangting bothering her anymore, and gradually she let go of him.

Unexpectedly, I saw him again today.

Lin Yuyao's good mood was shattered, and her face darkened.

Lu Jiangting watched as Lin Yuyao, who had been smiling just moments before, had her smile vanish the instant she saw him, and he felt bad too.

"It's been so long, aren't you still angry?"

Lin Yuyao: "..." No way?

It's been so long, and he still thinks I'm just angry with him?

Lin Yuyao didn't want him to disturb their business, so she went outside.

Lu Jiangting followed as well.

“I know there’s nothing between you and Fu Huaiyi; you haven’t seen each other for almost half a month.”

Lin Yuyao was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected him to be so disgusting, deliberately staring at her like that.

"Does this concern you?"

"Of course it's related. You must have rejected him because of me, right?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Are you crazy?" Lin Yuyao said angrily. "I told you, the only thing between us is a debt relationship. If you came to me not to pay back the money, then please get lost."

She rarely used words like "get lost," but what could she do when Lu Jiangting was so disgusting?

She made a foolish mistake in her past life, and she accepted that she didn't have a good life.

She didn't want to repeat the same mistake in her life, but he clung to her like a leech. How could she not feel disgusted?

Lu Jiangting stammered, "I came here to repay the money."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

She took a deep breath and softened her tone, "Okay, give me the money."

"I'm really sorry I can't pay you back right now."

Lin Yuyao's eyes widened. "What? You're not going to pay up yet? Don't forget that the three-month deadline is just around the corner."

"Yes, I know, that's why I came here specifically to tell you."

"Where's your money? You get a good salary every month, just pay me back whatever you have."

"I sent the money back to my hometown."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"You borrowed money from my sister last time, have you forgotten?"
