Rebirth: The paranoid boss has a crush on me

The next morning, Lu Yan felt the pillow was cold. He was still half asleep and wanted to stay in bed, but he suddenly woke up. He turned over and put on his clothes while looking for someone. She usually worked out in the corridor, the living room on the second floor, and even the guest room, but no one was there. So she went downstairs to find the housekeeper.

"Where is she?"

"My wife is on the basement floor."

It was only seven or eight in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, the curtains on the east side of the first floor were opened, and the whole hall was very bright. Lu Yan didn't understand why she went to the dark and sunless basement, but when he thought of what he had hidden there, his heart shrank.

The basement was very spacious and divided into two parts. The larger part was Fei Linlin's Chinese medicine laboratory. In the corner was another storage room of less than 30 square meters, which was Lu Yan's space. The servants and Fei Linlin never stepped into it. At this moment, he walked down the stairs with light footsteps. He did not hear any sound in the Chinese medicine room. Out of some hidden and dark psychology, he walked through the long, dimly lit corridor and walked towards his personal space.

The storage room was quiet in the dark, empty. Unlike the bright lights next door, the lights in the storage room were low wattage. When Lu Yan turned them on, there was only a dim light that barely illuminated the entire space. There was a pile of debris here, no one cleaned it, the locked cabinets were covered with dust, and cockroaches crawled over the edges of the cabinets.

"No wonder I have cockroaches over there. It turns out you raised them here." Fei Linlin's footsteps came closer and closer.

Lu Yan slammed the door shut.

"Tell me, why did you come down so early in the morning?" He was shrouded in a gloom, and looked at her as if he were a stranger, with caution and alertness, like a lion whose territory had been invaded.

Fei Linlin was more vigilant than him.

She had been here half an hour ago. The atmosphere in the corridor and the small storage room on the basement level was too gloomy. It was not difficult to guess that there must be another world in Lu Yan's heart. In the short two-year marriage, she deliberately ignored this corner. No wonder the marriage ended miserably. Wearing gloves, she walked into the storage room and found the love letter. The corners of the pink letter paper had turned yellow, but it was real. The world became mysterious, and she had to accept it.

A man's superficial love is not equal to trust, not to mention that Lu Yan is a businessman. Fei Linlin dare not tell him about the adventure she is experiencing. Since she can be said to be reborn, will she be suspected of possessing another body? She is standing in front of him, with the same voice and the same appearance. How can she prove that she is herself? How can he recognize her? If the person next to her tells her such a thing, she will definitely doubt this person, instead of subverting her own understanding of the world.

At this moment, Fei Linlin decided to take Lu Yan to the next door, "Come with me."

That dark underground corridor originally seemed to be the dividing line between the couple's private space, but now they walked through it one after the other.

When Lu Yan found out that Fei Linlin was going to take him to the next door, he was full of disbelief. He smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine and came to his senses. The person had already reached the door, so he stopped in his tracks.

Fei Linlin pushed the door open and said, "Come in."

Three of the four walls were filled with Chinese medicinal herbs, and only one wall was a storage cabinet. On the marble table in the middle, besides a pack of tissues, there were also a few boxes of slides, one of the microscopes was plugged in, and a few stools with wheels were placed everywhere. In the corner, Chinese medicine was being boiled, and the aroma was fragrant. Lu Yan stood in the middle, staring at her expressionlessly.

"Don't try to distract me. Answer the question."

"You were so fierce that I thought I woke you up accidentally this morning." The microwave in the corner started to buzz. Fei Linlin went to unplug it. When she came back, she pulled out a piece of paper and looked into Lu Yan's eyes: "But, you seem to have just woken up."

She stood on tiptoe and wiped away Lu Yan's eye boogers.

Then, he picked up a transparent medicine box next to him, opened it and handed it to Lu Yan, "Grab a handful."

He did as he was told.

The man's palm was wide, and he could hold many small yellowish slices of Sophora flavescens in one hand. The worm crawled out from between his fingers, crossed the back of his hand, and climbed up his wrist. Fei Linlin caught it and put it in a paper towel to kill it. Looking closely, there were still many worms crawling around in the slices in his hand.

"All the herbs are infested with insects. I may have to go to Qin County to buy new ones." Fei Linlin looked distressed and closed the transparent box. "The departure time is uncertain. I will report to you as usual after I arrive safely."

After hearing this, Lu Yan put the slices back into the transparent medicine box.

Fei Linlin handed him a piece of tissue paper and told him where the sink was.

Lu Yan didn't wash his hands, but stood there looking at her, "Go again in the middle of the month."

The middle of the month is Fei Linlin's menstrual period, which means that she is just a tool for sleeping with her. She took a step back and poured the Chinese medicine from the pot into her thermos cup while saying slowly, "You never cared when I went before, but now you are preparing for pregnancy, right?"

The sound of running water could be heard; the man was washing his hands, and he did not answer.

After pouring the medicine, Fei Linlin smelled it and felt satisfied.

She was unaware of the darkness in Lu Yan's eyes, but when she noticed that he had washed his hands and came over, she took out a disposable plastic cup and poured him a cup.

The pale yellow Chinese medicine was handed to him, but he didn't take it immediately. Fei Linlin put it on the table and apologized: "Although you said that as your wife I have to be obedient, I'm sorry, if there are no special circumstances, I may leave after my mother's birthday. There are nearly twenty days until the middle of next month, I can't wait."

The man in front of her had probably been in a high position for too long. When he heard her disobedience, his expression turned ugly and his temper became low, as if he was suppressing his anger.

A strange thought popped up in Fei Linlin's mind: Lu Yan like this is much more interesting than the one who died in a car accident.

She thought for a moment and said, "If you make another request now, I can listen to you."

"Three days at most."

The cup of Chinese medicine on the table was taken away by him.

Fei Linlin slightly raised the corners of his lips, picked up the thermos cup, and took a sip of the steaming Chinese medicine.

There was an uncovered trash can in the corner, and inside it lay a pair of unnoticed plastic gloves.
