After many years of marriage, she was reborn

"That's not what I meant." Nian Nian's face turned red instantly, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers.

Lin He smiled, he walked closer to Nian Nian, lifted her chin and made her look at him.

"I know you don't mean that. I just wanted to tease you." Lin He's voice was gentle yet a little ambiguous.

"But if you really want to pay the money back, you might as well pay it back in another way."

Nian Nian's heartbeat quickened. She looked into Lin He's eyes, as if she could see flames burning in them.

"For example..." Lin He whispered a suggestion close to Nian Nian's ear.

An expression of surprise appeared on Nian Nian's face, and then turned into a shy smile.

"Okay... okay." She said softly.

Lin He gently picked up Nian Nian, put her on the bed, and stroked her silky hair with his hands.

Lin He's eyes became deeper and deeper. He slowly leaned down and lightly touched Nian Nian's forehead with his lips.

Nian Nian closed her eyes nervously, feeling Lin He's breath getting closer.

Just as their lips were about to meet, Lin He's cell phone suddenly rang.

He stopped, picked up his phone with an annoyed look, glanced at the screen, and sighed helplessly.

"Sorry, I have to take a call." Lin He walked to the window and answered the phone.

Nian Nian took this opportunity to take a few deep breaths and calm her heartbeat.

She straightened her clothes, sat up, and her eyes involuntarily turned to Lin He.

After Lin He finished the call, he walked back to the bed and gently stroked Nian Nian's cheek, "Sorry, there was something urgent at the company just now." There was a hint of apology in his eyes.

"It's okay." Nian Nian smiled slightly, "Go and get busy."

Lin He nodded, left a kiss on Nian Nian's forehead, then turned and left the room.

As she watched his departing back, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

After Lin He left, Nian Nian took a deep breath.

Then he slowly took out his cell phone, skillfully pressed a number and dialed it.

The call was connected almost instantly, and then a slightly angry voice came: "Huh, you still remember to call me?"

When Nian Nian heard this familiar voice, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

She quickly said softly, "Honey, please don't be angry, okay? Just hold on a little longer. I promise that we will be able to be together openly soon."

However, the person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to calm down so easily.

He snorted coldly and said, "That's easy to say. Every time I think of you and that guy being so affectionate together, it's like a ball of anger is burning in my heart, and I can't suppress it no matter what."

"Oh, don't be so petty." Nian Nian said in a soft voice, "He and I were just playing around, my heart has always been with you."

The other party was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't care. Anyway, I don't want to go down like this in secret anymore."

"You must break up with him as soon as possible and be with me."

Nian Nian looked embarrassed, "But... now is not the right time, give me a little more time, okay?"

"How long will it take?" The other party's tone was filled with dissatisfaction. "Are you going to keep playing both sides like this?"

"No, dear, believe me." Nian Nian explained quickly, "Once I have dealt with things here, I will definitely draw a clear line between me and him."

The other party finally agreed reluctantly, and Nian Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

But she knew that the matter was not over yet, and she had to find a way to solve the current dilemma as soon as possible.

When she thought about Lin He risking his life and embezzling public funds for her, she felt a little bit reluctant.

"Hello, hello...are you listening to me again?" The other party's voice became a little softer.

"I'm listening, dear." Nian Nian came back to her senses and said quickly.

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long." After saying that, she gently hung up the phone.

Nian Nian leaned on the sofa, feeling extremely heavy.

She knew she had to make a choice.

On one side is the man who deeply loves her, and on the other side is Lin He who has done her a favor. She really doesn't know how to choose.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Nian Nian opened the door and saw Lin He standing at the door with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"You're here." Nian Nian smiled slightly, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed. "Come in, it's cold outside."

Lin He walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. After a moment of silence, he said, "Nian Nian, I have thought about it for a long time, and I decided to leave here for the time being."

Nian Nian looked at him in surprise, "Why? Did your father put pressure on you?"

Lin He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know you have always regarded me as a benefactor, but this is not what I want."

"Besides...I don't want to see you suffer because of me anymore."

Nian Nian was touched. She walked to Lin He, squatted down, and held his hand. "Lin He, I'm sorry. I made things difficult for you."

"Actually, I don't know what to do." Lin He looked at Nian Nian, his eyes full of love.

"Nian Nian, I love you. No matter what decision you make, I will respect you."

"If you choose to stay with me, I will take you away from here and start our lives over again."

After hearing what Lin He said, for a moment, Nian Nian almost thought that she really fell in love with the man in front of her.

She knew she couldn't escape any longer and she had to make a decision.

"He, you are still young, and there are still many unknowns in our future."

"I can't let you give up everything for me." Nian Nian said firmly.

Lin He grabbed Nian Nian's hand and said, "I can give up everything for you, Nian Nian, believe me."

Nian Nian broke free from Lin He's hand and said, "We both need some time to calm down."

After saying that, she turned and went upstairs, leaving Lin He alone in the living room.

Lin He looked at Nian Nian's departing back, his heart filled with loss and helplessness.

He knew that Nian Nian needed time to think, but he was afraid of losing her.

He decided to give Nian Nian some space and let her think it over.

In fact, Lin He had already noticed that there was something wrong with Nian Nian, he just wanted to give Nian Nian and himself a chance.

He would rather spend this little money to make Nian Nian come back, he couldn't bear to see her go astray.

A few days later, Nian Nian received a mysterious express delivery.

When I opened it, there was a huge check and a letter inside.

The letter read: "Nian Nian, this is the last chance I give you. Leave Lin He and come with me."

The signature is an unfamiliar name.

Nian Nian's face turned pale, she knew who sent it.

She tore up the check and the letter and threw them into the trash.

She decided to find Lin He and tell him her true thoughts.

When Nian Nian arrived at Lin He's house, she found the door ajar.

She pushed open the door, walked into the room, and saw Lin He sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.

"He, I have something to say to you..." Nian Nian just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Lin He.

"Niannian, you don't have to say anything. I know everything." Lin He stood up and walked in front of Nian Nian.

"This is your choice, I won't blame you." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"He, don't go!" Nian Nian held Lin He's arm, tears welling up in her eyes, "I love you, I don't want to leave you."

Lin He stopped, turned around and looked at Nian Nian, "Are you really willing to give up everything for me?"

Nian Nian nodded, "I do."

Lin He smiled and hugged Nian Nian tightly, "Then let us face the challenges of the future together."
