Rebirth: The paranoid boss has a crush on me

Because Fei Linlin would be back to see the art exhibition soon, Lu Yan didn't go far and simply talked to her on the balcony on the third floor.

The person in charge knew that Mr. Lu had some private matters to take care of on the third floor, so he considerately evacuated several guests on the third floor, prepared a drink for them, and arranged for someone to keep watch for them to prevent them from being disturbed by others.

Fei Linlin found a stool and sat down. The stool was padded with a layer of soft animal fur, and it felt very comfortable to sit on.

It happened to be a sunny day today, with dappled light and shadows cast on the balcony. She looked at Lu Yan through the light and shadows, motioning him to speak quickly.

When they met face to face, Lu Yan didn't know where to start. He thought for a while before asking, "Is Mr. Qu your new boyfriend?"

Fei Linlin wanted to laugh when she heard this. She knew that wealthy men like Fei Yunzhang would have lovers. Of course, wealthy men like that would not think that after they did so, they would let their wives find a few lovers for entertainment just to be fair.

But I didn't expect Lu Yan to learn these bad habits. To put it nicely, the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. To put it bluntly, it is double standards.

Fei Linlin was annoyed, but she was not vague. "No, we are just colleagues now. Don't worry, I won't start another relationship without ending the previous one."

Lu Yan knew that this was a hint at his bad behavior, but he had nothing to say and did not dare to think too deeply about what "now" meant. Would she and Teacher Qu have any other relationship in the future?

Rubbing his brows, he asked, "Why did you move away?"

"Do you remember our last conversation?"

Lu Yan nodded.

Fei Linlin looked at him expressionlessly. "I've said before, if we're not meant to be together, we should just make it clear and part ways amicably. But your behavior now is really too much. You've appeared in public with Zhan Xiao at least four times. I really can't stand it anymore. Let's..."

Lu Yan knew what she was going to say next, but that was not what he wanted to hear, so he had to interrupt her without any courtesy, "Okay, Xiaolin, I won't agree to the separation. Even if you consider the child, don't always think about separation. A good family environment is conducive to the healthy development of children's physical and mental health. It is not easy to cultivate the masculinity of little Rick without a father around."

"These are not my main considerations, Mr. Lu. You have to understand that I can't sacrifice myself for the sake of the child. I have already discussed the separation with Rick, and he is very reasonable."

Little Rick has accepted a diversified lifestyle abroad, because marriage is now a very painful constraint for people. A certain female politician also chose such a lifestyle. The child is rich in material conditions and spiritual and cultural well-being, and does not have much desire for a father like a creature.

Besides, he didn’t have a good impression of Lu Yan.

Fei Linlin doesn't hold grudges, but little Rick always remembers that on the day they just returned to China, Lu Yan gave Fei Linlin face at the auction.

So no matter how loving his parents seemed, no matter how many benefits Lu Yan gave him, in his eyes, Lu Yan was always a domineering, unreasonable, ungentlemanly and even a little philandering person.

Lu Yan was speechless for a moment. "After you moved out, I always wanted to talk to you. I went to your place that day, but you didn't come out to open the door. When did you tell little Rick about this? He really favors his mother more."

"You've been here?" Fei Linlin was surprised. "I went back to school on the day we moved. I didn't get home until 10 pm. You came at a bad time. Next time, you can call Lu Xingrui to ask where I am. I told little Rick about our situation on a video call this morning and asked him to be mentally prepared. He was probably having fun with Lilith and didn't pay much attention to us."

After a pause, Fei Linlin said, "Then let's stop here and don't meet again..."

Seeing that Lu Yan's face looked strange and he lowered his eyes with a very strange expression, Fei Linlin originally wanted to discuss the child's custody issue with him. Lu Yan had previously agreed to give up custody, so she also wanted to show some affection and said that if he wanted to see little Rick, he could make an appointment with Lu Xingrui, but seeing Lu Yan's look, she didn't know what to say.

"You don't look well. Did you not get enough rest during this period?" Fei Linlin frowned. "Should I take you to the hospital?"

This concern has nothing to do with feelings. It is purely out of humanitarian concern. No matter who it is, she would be just as considerate.

Lu Yan looked strange, "Xiao Lin, you've never liked me, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

It's really boring to discuss this kind of issue when breaking up.

And it was clearly him who cheated first, why is he still blaming him?

Lu Yan, "You have never liked me. No matter what I do, you don't like me. If you like me, you shouldn't have kept silent when you saw me and Zhan Xiao together, and just wanted to continue to watch the exhibition."

Maybe this was her forced fate. After Fei Linlin returned to China, he showed no tenderness towards her. Instead, he pressured her in every way to force her to submit.

The consequence is that no matter how hard he tries, how he tries to please her, or how he makes up for the five-year gap, he cannot change the outcome of getting what he wants.

Sometimes he wondered why he couldn't let go of this relationship. If it was out of admiration for the top student in the grade, so many years had passed since the college entrance examination and he should have let it go long ago. If it was out of lusting after her beauty and body, young, beautiful and professional girls who had achieved success and fame over the years were sent to him one after another, but he still couldn't be moved.

But some people are so unforgettable and heartbreaking that even though Hongjun is married and has children, he still can't help but turn back and ask her to look back.

He even felt that even Hongjun's death was a relief. He would only be trapped in the frenzy of not being able to get what he wanted forever, and suffer like him, so much pain that he could only parasitize on this relationship, draw nutrients from it, and then barely stay alive.

He already knew Fei Linlin's past very well. From the base in Myanmar to the compound in Beijing, it was obvious that Fei Linlin had suffered more pain in the world than he had. Why didn't she need the salvation of love?

Lu Yan showed a painful look, "Xiao Lin, let's separate for a while."

Fei Linlin was almost shocked by his emotions.

She took a sip of her drink and thought to herself that the person in charge was being overly considerate.

The cold drink seemed to block her throat, making her unable to say anything at that moment.

After a long silence, she nodded, "Okay."

She looked at Lu Yan deeply, "Mr. Lu, no matter what, I hope you are happy. If you want to visit little Rick later, you can contact Lu Xingrui. I'm leaving first."

"Xiao Lin." Lu Yan called her, "I'll ask Master Li to take you back."

For Fei Linlin, having a car to ride in is definitely better than taking a taxi, so she nodded in agreement.

Taking one last look at Lu Yan, she took the rare leather bag and left with the courage to say goodbye to the past.
