Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ai suddenly ran behind the car and hid.

When he was running away, he said in a panic, "Why did Lao Lin come back just now?"

After saying that, he bent down and hid behind the car, not daring to say a word or come out.

It’s already past nine o’clock. Why did Lao Lin come back so late today?

In front of the car, Su Mubai, who had just gotten into the mood and expressed his feelings to Lin Ai, was "abandoned" and forgotten in the wind.

After thinking about it all the way, Su Mubai felt that Lin Ai was a bit stubborn. She didn't have the routines of other girls, and her mind was full of agreements. Being with him was completely businesslike.

He didn't like this feeling, but he couldn't say that Lin Ai was wrong.

So I thought why not let her put the agreement aside and let the two of them just get along like this for now. If they can get along, maybe things will develop in a good direction.

A person's thoughts and emotions are always flowing. Don't limit yourself too much because of some rules and regulations.

At this age, many of Su Mubai's ideas are mature, and he will not limit himself too much.

Therefore, I don’t want Lin Ai to limit herself too much.

After all, they were quite happy when they were together, and Lin Ai was happy too, he could see that.

He turned around and glanced at the opposite side of the car, seeing Lin Ai still hiding behind it, Su Mubai felt very upset.

It's hard to say.

He stared at the car for a long while, until Lin Ai's father had already passed by and went back into the building. Su Mubai then looked at Lin Ai and said, "That's enough. The man has left."

After Su Mubai's reminder, Lin Ai first stretched out half of her head to look towards the building. Seeing that her father was indeed no longer there, Lin Ai breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked out.

When she came to Su Mubai, Lin Ai explained: "That was my dad just now."

"I know."

Looking back at the building, and then looking around, seeing that no one was coming, Lin Ai looked at Su Mubai and asked, "Mr. Su, I didn't hear clearly what you said just now."

Lin Ai looked like she knew nothing. Su Mubai raised his hand and pinched her face: "I told you to remember to take your medicine and rest early when you go back."

The atmosphere has been ruined, and her attention is not on him at the moment, but on her father. It is useless to say anything to her.

The days ahead are long, don’t be in a hurry.

"Yeah." Lin Ai nodded in response to Su Mubai's instructions, still so well-behaved.

Finally, she waved to Su Mubai, turned around and walked into the building.

Watching Lin Ai's leaving, Su Mubai felt a little helpless.

What he never expected was that such a heartless person would end up like this, and that there would be times when he would be ignored by others.

After standing downstairs for a while, he looked up at Lin Ai's house. Thinking that she would almost be home by now, Su Mubai turned around, got in the car, started the car and went back.

I didn’t go back to International City, I went home.

In the afternoon, his mother called him non-stop, saying that she hadn't seen him for a long time and asked him to go back.

……

Meanwhile, upstairs.

As soon as Lin Ai entered the house, her father turned to look at her and said, "Xiao Ai, I just saw a girl downstairs who looked like you, but when I approached her, she was gone."

"..." Lin Ai felt a little nervous, and then said, "It must be dark and you must have seen it wrong, otherwise if I saw Dad, I would definitely call you."

"Yeah, maybe I saw it wrong." He added: "What's strange is that I saw a girl at first, but when I got closer, it turned out to be a boy. I feel like this community is..."

Before Lin Ai's father finished speaking, Lin Ai interrupted him: "Dad, don't scare me with nonsense. Sometimes I have to work overtime and come home late."

What nonsense are you talking about? The girl turned into a boy. She was hiding. The person he saw was Su Mubai.

Fortunately, she did not take the initiative to kiss Su Mubai today, and fortunately, she had sharp eyes and saw him coming, otherwise she would have been caught by him and would never be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Seeing this, Lin Ai's mother also scolded her father, saying, "Old Lin, you too, what era is this? Can you really still see anything unclean? Don't say that to scare Xiao Ai."

At this time, Lin Ai turned to her mother with a resentful look and said, "Mom, don't say anything. I'm still sick. Don't scare me with the same words."

Lin Ai's mother: "Okay, okay, we won't say anything more. We won't scare you."

At this point, Lin Ai's mother suddenly came over with a smile on her face and said, "Xiao Ai, you have a job now, and you are a grown-up girl. Isn't it time to consider dating?"

When her mother said this, Lin Ai turned around with a suspicious look on her face.

Seeing this, her mother continued, "I have a friend whose son is quite outstanding. He is older than you..."

Before Lin's mother finished her words, Lin Ai interrupted her immediately: "No, no, Mom, I've only been working for a short time and I haven't gotten my work done yet, don't make trouble for me."

After thinking for a while, Lin Ai said, "Mom, don't mention this before I turn 25. There are still two years left. Just bear with it! I promise you, when I turn 25, I will find a way to get married. You don't have to worry about this."

She and Su Mubai had just reached an agreement, and she hadn't even given birth to Su Mubai's child yet, so she had no right to go on blind dates or to fall in love.

Besides, Su Mubai would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

Although he is easy to talk to, he is not so easy to talk to this extent.

Telling her mother that after she turns 25, it was just a delaying tactic, just giving herself two years to fulfill the agreement with Su Mubai.

Lin Ai's reaction, her mother said: "I just mentioned it to you, and it's just a meeting, not for you to be together right away, why are you so excited?"

Lin Ai was changing her shoes at the entrance and said, "If someone else falls in love with me, would you help bring them together? Would you put pressure on me?"

"..."

Seeing her mother was speechless, Lin Ai said, "Mom, I have known you for so many years, I know you too well."

Be it matchmaking or pressure, it doesn't matter. What matters is that she has an agreement.

She is not worthy of going on a blind date with a boy.

She has always been very confident. However, after reaching such an agreement with Su Mubai and having a relationship with Su Mubai, Lin Ai stopped thinking about it and felt as if she was not worthy of having feelings.

As for the future, we will take it one step at a time. For now, we can only do our best at the present moment.

After going to the bathroom and taking a shower and returning to the bedroom, Lin Ai replied to Su Mubai's WeChat, took some antiviral medicine, and went back to bed to sleep.

At the moment, her mood was a little affected by what her mother had just said about love.

At 23, you should enjoy love, work and life...

She pulled up the quilt to cover her shoulders. Su Mubai was a nice man and was very respectful to her. She shouldn't think too much about it and just secretly treat it as if she was in a relationship with him.

When the agreement is over, they can just part ways amicably.

All good things must come to an end. Love will eventually end, and marriage will eventually lead to divorce. She should just treat her relationship with Su Mubai as one that is destined to end in a breakup.

Comforting herself, Lin Ai tried her best to empty her mind and not put too much pressure on herself.

As a person, no matter what happens, you must learn to adjust yourself, not let yourself get stuck in a rut, and not get stuck in a dead end.

Su Mubai is fine.

Even though she knew about the agreement between herself and Su Mubai, that Su Mubai paid the most of his money, which he had the least of, while she paid the most important thing to a girl, Lin Ai never blamed Su Mubai.

Because she knew that Su Mubai had many choices, he just chose to help her.

Reaching out from under the quilt to turn off the bedside night light, Lin Ai told herself that since it has come, she should make the best of it. Time will solve all problems, just like the appearance of Su Mubai solved her family's debt problem.

Without thinking too much or trying to get more from Su Mubai, Lin Ai just left all the problems to time.

……

Lin Ai fell asleep, and Su Mubai arrived home at this time.

His mother hasn't gone to bed yet and is waiting for him.

Seeing him coming back, she said with a gloomy face, "What's the matter? I scolded you last time, and you still don't want to go home? Are you planning to break up with me and your dad?"

Su Mubai was so angry that he laughed: "Didn't I have been on a business trip last week? Don't nag me for no reason, and I will do what I promised you."

Su Mubai had said this, and Mrs. Su had nothing to say, so she asked, "Have you eaten dinner? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

"I've eaten."

"Then pack up and go to bed early." At this point, his mother remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, your cousin said she would introduce you to someone, and asked you to take some time to meet him."

Su Mubai said directly: "Gone."

"Why? Didn't we get along well before?"

"No reason. Mom, you don't have to arrange these things for me in the future."

Having said that, Su Mubai put his hands in his trouser pockets and went straight upstairs.

Although it is still unknown what will happen with Lin Ai in the future, they are together now, and he will definitely not be fickle and will not embarrass Lin Ai.

Besides, he wanted to give it a try.

Seeing Su Mubai's back as he went upstairs, Mrs. Su's brows were tightly knitted together. She felt that something was not going well. It seemed that her son had become numb from blind dates and didn't want to go on any more dates.

She has to think of a way to deal with this matter, otherwise it will be even harder for her to be single in the future.

If she knew that Su Mubai had Lin Ai by his side, and that Su Mubai had brought her back to International City, and that they had already had a relationship, Mrs. Su would probably have tried her best to get them married right there.

Returning to the bedroom upstairs, Su Mubai saw the photo of him and Cheng Jian at a glance.

Approaching the bookshelf, Su Mubai raised his hand and touched the photo frame.

After staring at the photo for a while, Su Mubai asked, "Cheng Jian, what should I do?"

He also didn't want to get close to Cheng Jian just because Lin Ai was somewhat similar to Cheng Jian, he wanted it to be pure.

But he is the least pure.

In the photo, Cheng Jian smiled brightly, and Lin Ai did look somewhat similar to her, especially when they smiled.

If the happiness he feels now with Lin Ai is just making up for the regrets of his youth, then it is unfair to Lin Ai.

After standing in front of the bookshelf for a long time, Su Mubai withdrew his hand and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

……

The next morning, after Lin Ai woke up from a good sleep, she no longer had a fever and felt in good spirits.

So I stretched, got myself ready, changed my shoes at the door, and went out to work.

Although she promised Su Mubai yesterday that she would take a taxi to work today, she didn't think about spending more money when she left home and still wanted to take the subway.

As a result, when I just went downstairs and reached the door, I saw the familiar black Maybach parked on the side of the road not far away.

Lin Ai slowed down and looked at the car. The window was opened and Su Mubai's familiar face appeared.

He said, "Get in the car."

He had guessed long ago that Lin Ai would not take a taxi to work, so he got up early today to pick up Lin Ai.

Seeing the car window was rolled down, Lin Ai smiled.

In the past, Su Mubai only sent her home, because they both got off work from the company and were going the same way.

Today, Su Mubai came specially to pick her up.

Lin Ai smiled happily and walked towards that direction.
