After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

Lin Qingran finished some work and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. It was almost eleven o'clock.

The night outside the window is thick.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to work two hours overtime to finish all the piled up tasks.

So I won’t go back to Jiangyue Bay today.

Lin Qingran put down the mouse and sent a text message to Lu Siheng.

[Working overtime tonight, sleeping in the company. ]

Then her cell phone buzzed and Lu Siheng also sent her a text message.

【it is good. 】

It can be described as cold and simple, which is indeed his usual style.

Lin Qingran thought of what happened during the day and continued typing: [Gu Yichen's hand was caught by the car door. Did you do it? ]

This time, the other party did not reply immediately like before.

Lin Qingran thought that he had not had time to see it yet, so she put her phone aside and waited while doing her work.

After a long, long time, more than an hour had passed, and the time displayed on the phone was close to twelve o'clock, Lin Qingran finally received his reply.

【no. 】

-

The next morning, the sun was just right.

Xu Mushi knocked on Lu Siheng's office door, walked over and threw a bag of Chinese medicine on his desk, "I brought you the medicine when I passed by here, so you don't have to make another trip."

Lu Siheng has some minor stomach problems. He usually takes some Chinese medicine for conditioning and goes to Xu Mushi regularly to get medicine.

Lu Siheng sat at his desk, his knuckles pressed against his chin out of habit, glanced at the medicine in the bag, and squinted his eyes sleepily, "Thank you for your help."

"It's okay." Xu Mushi turned around to leave, but he seemed to have discovered something, so he paused and looked back at him, "Why do you look so bad?"

Lu Siheng raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Xu Mushi was concerned, "What happened?"

"Nothing, it's just..." Lu Siheng hesitated for a while and said softly, "I lied to Lin Qingran."

Xu Mushi was surprised, "What did you lie to her about?"

Lu Siheng leaned back and frowned, "I asked Ling Su to break Gu Yichen's finger."

Xu Mushi was surprised, "So you asked someone to do it to Gu Yichen? Did you know that Gu Yichen was investigating everywhere like crazy?"

"He can't find out." Lu Siheng said, "Ling Su is very steady."

"So Lin Qingran came to ask you?"

"Well, I didn't say I asked someone to do it."

"Are you afraid that Lin Qingran will blame you?" In Xu Mushi's impression, Lin Qingran is still the woman who loved Gu Yichen to death. Although she is married to Lu Siheng, it does not mean that she doesn't care about Gu Yichen anymore.

"No." Lu Siheng shook his head, "Ranran didn't mean that. She probably just wanted to know if I had anything to do with this matter."

"That's it?" Xu Mushi waved his hand. "Since Lin Qingran just asked casually, you can of course not tell her that you did it. I think such a lie is harmless."

Lu Siheng said nothing and just looked quietly at the wall opposite.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "I don't want to lie."

"Especially Ranran."

"So because of this, you didn't sleep well?"

"Ah."

"Then why don't you tell her the truth? Didn't you say she doesn't care about Gu Yichen? Even if she knew it was you who did it, she wouldn't mind, right?"

"She probably doesn't want me to do it." Lu Siheng said.

"why?"

"When we got married, she told me it was just a formality and she didn't want me to have any improper thoughts about her."

Lu Siheng will never forget the scene of Lin Qingran standing alone in front of the window, picking rose petals and talking to herself.

He still remembered Lin Qingran's relieved expression after learning the conclusion that "he didn't like her".

Therefore, Lin Qingran didn't want him to like her, and his behavior that crossed the line would only cause trouble to her.

He didn't want to put psychological pressure on Lin Qingran.

This was the first time that Lu Siheng spoke frankly about the truth of this "marriage".

Xu Mushi was somewhat shocked when he heard this.

"Then why did Lin Qingran marry you?"

"She thought I needed to rely on the Lin family's influence to gain a foothold in the Lu family. She also told me that once I got the inheritance rights of the Lu family, she would regain her freedom and divorce me."

Xu Mushi: "Doesn't she know that you..."

"she does not know."

"...Okay, it seems that Lin Qingran married you out of kindness." Xu Mushi was helpless, "But you don't have to agree to marry her. She doesn't like you, and she will divorce you in the end."

"Xu Mushi, you know, I have always wanted to marry her." Lu Siheng said in a deep voice, "I simply cannot refuse such a proposal from her."

"And..." Lu Siheng pursed his lips, paused, and then said, "I want to give it a try."

"try what?"

"What if she doesn't want to divorce me in the end?"

"You shouldn't have such fantasies." Xu Mushi frowned, "This possibility is not high."

"As long as there is hope, it is better than no hope at all."

Xu Mushi just thought he was too paranoid.

"I don't know what's so good about Lin Qingran that's worth your persistence."

"She was a turning point for me when I was sixteen." Lu Siheng looked at him and said, "If it weren't for her, my life would be completely different from what it is now."

He grew up in an orphanage until he was sixteen.

Although it was hard, I never gave up hope of growing upward.

There is a wider world outside the welfare home.

As long as you study hard in the orphanage and listen to the director, you can become a great person after leaving the orphanage. After all, the director said that among the leaders in various industries today, there are many orphans without parents.

He thought so until he was sixteen.

It wasn't until he left the orphanage at the age of sixteen that the world taught him a cruel lesson.

Under normal circumstances, children in welfare homes will leave the orphanage after completing their studies at the age of eighteen.

Because he was diligent and studious, he completed his studies ahead of schedule at the age of sixteen and received an admission letter from a top domestic university.

At the age of sixteen, he planned to go out to earn living expenses and tuition for college to reduce the burden on the dean.

With the dean's consent, he went out to look for a part-time job.

He searched everywhere for job advertisements posted on the walls, made phone calls one by one, or went to each store to ask if there were any bosses who needed to hire people.

Later a boss contacted him.

But it was a little different from what he expected because the work location was abroad.

Being abroad means a completely unfamiliar environment and everything is unknown.

But the boss also said that the salary you can get abroad is many times that of domestically.
