After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

Lin Qingran's heart skipped a beat.

"But how do you know?"

She was slightly angry, as if she was somewhat irritated.

Lin Qingran clenched her palms and asked, "Did I... forcefully kiss you yesterday?"

Lu Siheng did not deny it either, "Yeah."

Lin Qingran panicked for a moment, as if she had done something wrong. "I'm sorry, I drank. I didn't know I would be like that when I was drunk. I didn't mean to do that."

"No need to apologize. I don't mind it being you."

When Lu Siheng blurted out this, both of them were stunned.

Lu Siheng knew that he had said the wrong thing.

He pursed his lips and said, "I..."

"I don't mind, it's you who's drunk."

Lin Qingran looked at him and asked, "Do you not mind because that person is me, or because I am drunk and unconscious?"

Lu Siheng gave an answer after careful consideration, "Because you were drunk."

"So, if another woman got drunk and kissed you, you wouldn't mind?"

Lu Siheng: “…”

This……

"Mind." Lu Siheng said again.

"So if another woman kisses you when she's drunk, you mind, but if it's me, I don't mind?"

Lin Qingran didn't know what the point of asking this was.

But she just wanted to ask.

Lu Siheng thought about it for a while and said, "Well, if it were another woman, I think I would mind."

"So you don't mind because that person is me?"

Lin Qingran completely overturned his original answer.

Lu Siheng: “…”

Lin Qingran said again: "Forget it, forget it. My mind may not be clear. I think my words are a bit confusing now. Let's not continue this topic."

Lu Siheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

The two of them remained silent along the way.

Lu Siheng drove the car into Jiangyue Bay.

Lin Qingran got out of the car and entered the villa, preparing to go back to her room to rest, intending to recharge her energy before going to the company tomorrow.

As soon as she entered her bedroom, there was a knock on the door.

"Lin Qingran?"

She opened the door and looked at Lu Siheng who was standing straight at the door. "What?"

Lu Siheng stared at her without blinking and said, "You haven't sent me the joke you said you would send me yet."

-

【Help me find a funnier joke. 】

Lin Qingran lay on the bed and sent a message to Bai Shirui.

"What a joke?" Bai Shirui frowned fiercely as she looked at the message sent by Lin Qingran.

【What do you want to make fun of? 】

Lin Qingran typed a reply: [For Lu Siheng to see. ]

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Just now, Lu Siheng came knocking on the door, added her on WeChat, and said seriously that he was waiting to be laughed at by her.

Lin Qingran: “…”

It feels weird to say this.

Anyway, she just had to find a joke to send to him to get away with it.

Bai Shirui was puzzled. [Aren't there a lot of results if you search online? ]

[I haven't found a suitable one.] Lin Qingran was looking for one, wondering what kind of jokes would be suitable for a cold person like Lu Siheng.

She typed again: [Help me find it. ]

Next door, Lu Siheng clicked into Lin Qingran’s circle of friends.

Read through all the posts she has made on WeChat Moments from the past few years to the present.

Whenever I see a photo or selfie of her in it, I save it.

Not long after, the phone vibrated.

He saw the joke that Lin Qingran forwarded.

[One day, the elephant and the little white rabbit were pooping together. The elephant asked the little white rabbit if it shed hair. The little white rabbit said no, so the elephant used the little white rabbit to wipe its butt. The next day, the elephant and the little squirrel were eating together. The elephant asked the little squirrel if it shed hair. The little squirrel said no, so the elephant used the little squirrel to wipe its mouth. Then the little squirrel said, "I am the little white rabbit yesterday."]

Lu Siheng: “…”

He did not comment on the joke, typing:

[When you sleep, you can use a quilt or pillow to raise your feet, which is good for blood circulation and will help you recover faster. ]

Lin Qingran looked at the message sent by Lu Siheng and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

In their four years of marriage, Gu Yichen had never been so considerate and caring to her.

She had never eaten a meal cooked by Gu Yichen himself, nor had she felt any care from Gu Yichen when she was injured. Gu Yichen never reported his itinerary to her, asked her when she would be home, or appeared by her side during a power outage or thunderstorm...

She and Gu Yichen were once a real couple, but they didn't seem like a couple.

But with Lu Siheng, they are not real husband and wife, but they are more like husband and wife.

-

Gu Yichen walked into the hospital in a hurry.

Just as I was about to enter the elevator, I received a call from Zhou Muyun.

"Yi Chen, there is something I don't know if I should tell you."

Zhou Muyun hesitated for a long time before calling him.

Gu Yichen paused and frowned, "What do you want to say?"

"Do you remember what Song Yunxiao said before? Although Cai Guoxiong is a famous director in the circle, he is a lustful man and has played with countless women..."

Zhou Muyun continued, "You told me that Cai Guoxiong came to you and deliberately emphasized that Xia Shu had acted in his crew four years ago, so is it possible that... Xia Shu had been sexually exploited by him before?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yichen's pupils suddenly shrank.

His face was tense, "What makes you think so?"

"Nothing, just a feeling." Zhou Muyun said, "Cai Guoxiong is very good at reading people's faces and is used to trying to please people. He should know that Xia Shu is your girlfriend. I feel like he is giving you some advice."

Gu Yichen pursed his lips tightly, his expression gloomy.

No matter what, he couldn't connect Xia Shu with such things as unspoken rules.

He knew that Xia Shu's journey had not been easy. In his opinion, if she had not worked hard and stayed true to herself, she would have found it difficult to achieve what she has today.

So he felt both pity and love for this woman.

"Muyun, you should be overthinking it. Xia Shu seemed to have told me about the drama four years ago. There was indeed an actress who was sexually exploited in the crew, but it wasn't her. It was someone else."

"Really?" Zhou Muyun raised his eyebrows. "Since you've already checked, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Zhou Muyun realized later that it was very offensive to doubt a woman's innocence on the eve of her wedding.

He apologized, "You are the one who knows Xia Shu best. I shouldn't have said anything too much. Don't take it to heart."

Gu Yichen uttered a low "hmm" and hung up the phone.

He entered the elevator, but Zhou Muyun's words kept echoing in his mind.

Why did Cai Guoxiong specifically ask him to say that? Why did Xia Shu happen to witness Cai Guoxiong's unspoken love for Xu Xinzhu when she went to Cai Guoxiong's crew four years ago?

impossible?

It shouldn't be possible that Xia Shu has ever been sexually exploited, right?

Otherwise, it would be too ridiculous.
