After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

"Ah Chen, wait for me..."

"Snapped!"

Xia Shu was startled by the loud noise of the car door being slammed.

Gu Yichen got into the car, without even looking at the people outside, his face gloomy, "Drive."

"Yes."

The driver stepped on the accelerator, then suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Gu Yichen was about to get angry, but when he looked up, he saw Xia Shu standing in front of the car regardless of anything, with tears all over her face.

He opened the car door and got out, grabbing Xia Shu's hand and pulling her aside, "What on earth do you want to do?!"

"Achen, can you please forgive me?" Xia Shu tightly grasped Gu Yichen's arm, looking up at him with eyes full of grievance and tears, "I will never lie to you again, really, give me another chance..."

Gu Yichen reached out and brushed away her hand that was holding his arm, looking at her coldly, "I've already given you a chance once, but you didn't grab it."

Then he looked at the bodyguard beside him and said, "Take her back to her apartment."

-

Lin Qingran knew where Bai Shirui lived outside. After sending her there and settling her down, she hurriedly drove back to Jiangyue Bay.

Lin Qingran didn't wake up until near noon the next day.

When I turned on my phone, I saw several missed calls.

They were all calls from Lin’s mother.

Tsk, you only now realize that you care about her condition.

Lin Qingran rolled around on the bed, lay straight facing the ceiling, and called back.

"Hey, Mom."

"Are you just waking up now? I called you several times but you didn't answer."

Lin Qingran raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "You still care about me?"

"No, I do care."

Lin Qingran felt much better. "Don't worry, the fever has subsided and I feel more energetic."

Mother Lin's voice suddenly became louder, "Xiao Lu, thank you for taking such good care of our Ranran."

"Mom, who are you talking to? Lu Siheng is not here."

"Lu Siheng is not here? Where did he go?"

"He's in the next room."

"Oh." Mother Lin was a little disappointed, "You didn't sleep together?"

Lin Qingran: “…”

Good guy, testing her.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Stop playing tricks on me. Lu Siheng and I have nothing to do with each other. Why should we sleep together? We sleep in separate rooms."

"Oh." Mother Lin sighed, "It's so disappointing..."

beep-

Mother Lin was so disappointed that she hung up the phone.

Lin Qingran: “?”

Was this call really made to show concern for her?

"Knock knock knock."

There was a light and rhythmic knock on the door.

Lin Qingran got up from the bed, walked over and opened the door.

A faint scent of incense wafted towards her as she opened the door.

Lu Siheng was standing at the door wearing a black silk robe. The light made his skin look very white, a cold white. There was a casual smile between his clear and distinct eyebrows, which was both seductive and dangerous.

Lin Qingran narrowed her eyes slightly and took two steps back to distance herself from him.

"Mr. Lu, are you looking for me?"

"Are you awake? I'm waiting for you to have dinner together."

As he spoke, his crow-feather eyelashes drooped slightly, and his black eyes, soaked with water, looked straight at her, and he slowly leaned towards her.

"You...you, what do you want to do?"

Lin Qingran looked at his actions and suddenly became flustered and incoherent, "I, I, we agreed..."

"Click" sound.

Lu Siheng reached over her ear and pressed the switch of the wall lamp.

"Let me turn off the light for you," he said softly.

Lin Qingran: “…”

"Ms. Lin, what did we agree on?" Lu Siheng looked at her puzzledly.

"No, it's nothing."

Lin Qingran hurriedly walked past him and went downstairs.

Lu Siheng looked at her back, curled his thin lips slightly and smiled faintly.

-

"RanRan, you are really my most beloved baby."

Lin Qingran drove to the company while talking to Bai Shirui through the Bluetooth headset.

Just now she refused Lu Siheng's offer to send her to the company. As for the reason...

She always felt that Lu Siheng had bad intentions towards her.

That's right, it's an evil intention.

He cooked for her and took care of her when she was sick. He always appeared in front of her dressed like that, revealing half of his collarbone, smiling. His eyes were like the reincarnation of a fox spirit...

Maybe this man has begun to like her.

Lin Qingran felt that he was not narcissistic at all. After all, he had fallen in love with her in the last life, hadn’t he?

No, you have to keep your distance from him.

Lin Qingran thought secretly that she should avoid contact unless necessary, and engraved this sentence firmly in her mind.

"Drink less in the future." Lin Qingran collected her messy thoughts and said to Bai Shirui on the other end of the phone.

"But I'm depressed." Bai Shirui said in a coquettish voice.

Lin Qingran: “…”

"What are you doing with Lu Siheng recently?" Bai Shirui asked again.

"I'm not with him." Lin Qingran said lightly.

Bai Shirui was surprised, "But didn't you say last time that you moved into your and Lu Siheng's wedding room?"

Lin Qingran said "hmm" slightly unhappily, "So what?"

"How does it feel to be together day and night?"

"We don't spend every day together." Lin Qingran didn't want to give Bai Shirui the opportunity to imagine and gossip, so she lied calmly, "We are very unfamiliar with each other. We don't say a word all day, and we eat separately. We are like strangers..."

Bai Shirui said "Oh" thoughtfully, "Is that so..."

"Do you want me to help you check Lu Siheng?" Bai Shirui asked.

"What are you checking him for?"

"Lu Siheng just came to Beijing a year ago. Where was he from, where was he, what was he doing a year ago... Do you know all this?"

Lin Qingran shook her head, "I don't know."

After a few seconds of pause, he continued, "I heard that he grew up in an orphanage, and then he went to the United States to work for a few years."

These were the fragmentary information she heard from Lin Jingyao about Lu Siheng.

As for the rest...

"Really? Don't you need to check him out? After all, he's someone you spend every day with."

"No need." Lin Qingran said indifferently, "I'm not interested in knowing anything else about him."

Right now, she only needs to show up when he needs her, act as a decoration, help Lu Siheng gain a foothold and seize power in the Lu family, and complete her own mission.

Lin Qingran looked at the company building getting closer and closer, and said no more nonsense, "I'm at the company now, I'll hang up first."

I came to the company in the afternoon mainly to deal with urgent matters of the artist management department, in addition to the work that had piled up over the past day and a half.

Towards evening, Shen Yan suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss Lin, Boss Gu from Jingchen Entertainment is here and wants to see you."

Lin Qingran paused slightly.

Gu Yichen?

"Tell him I'm not here." She was too busy with her current affairs to think about seeing him.

When Gu Yichen, who was outside, heard this, he pushed the door open and walked in. Shen Yan couldn't stop him.

"Forget it, Shen Yan, you can go down."

Lin Qingran sat at her desk with her shoulders straight and dignified, a pen between her white knuckles.

She was dressed simply and elegantly today, exuding a smart and capable temperament.

The pair of peach blossom eyes that used to be bright and beautiful now had little emotion. They were half-closed and looked at Gu Yichen, revealing indifference and aloofness.

"Lin Qingran..."

Gu Yichen walked over to her desk, stared at her with his dark eyes, and asked, "Why did you let your assistant lie and say you were not here?"

If he hadn't come up directly, would he not have been able to see her?

Lin Qingran did not answer his question, but asked coldly: "What are you doing here this time? Are you still upset about what happened at the auction the day before yesterday?"

In the past six months, Gu Yichen never took the initiative to look for her.

As long as I look for her, it is to stand up for Xia Shu.

"I do want to talk to you about Shushu." Gu Yichen said.
