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

Su Mubai suddenly appeared, and Lin Ai was stunned for a long time not far away. It was not until Su Mubai turned to look at her that she came back to her senses.

She didn't expect Su Mubai to come over, and thought they were over. Su Mubai was too lazy to pursue the help he had given her.

She just went to the supermarket near the door to pick up a package, otherwise she would not have met Su Mubai.

Seeing that Su Mubai had already noticed her, Lin Ai took a step forward and walked over.

Things that need to be faced will eventually have to be faced, there is no way to avoid them.

Seeing Lin Ai approaching, Su Mubai's eyes gradually softened, and he asked: "Take the express delivery?"

Lin Ai nodded: "Yeah."

Then he asked, "Why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"

Lin Ai asked distantly, Su Mubai's face darkened slightly, and he raised his hand to touch Lin Ai's face.

But when he was about to touch Lin Ai's face, the right hand he raised hung in the air and did not fall.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Ai looked at Su Mubai's right hand hanging in the air, and was suddenly filled with emotion.

She withdrew her gaze from Su Mubai's right hand hanging in the air, and when she looked into Su Mubai's eyes again, Su Mubai finally put his hand on her face.

Su Mubai's hands were a little cold tonight, so cold that Lin Ai's heart trembled.

She did not dodge and did not take away Su Mubai's hand.

No need.

Gently stroking Lin Ai's face with his thumb, Su Mubai said, "Let's talk."

Nan Yan is right. Since you have started this relationship, don’t give up too easily. Maybe after a while, he will see himself more clearly.

"Okay." Lin Ai agreed.

So the two of them got into Su Mubai's car.

After getting in the car, Su Mubai took a gift box from the back seat and handed it to Lin Ai as usual: "This is a gift for you."

Taking the gift box handed over by Su Mubai, Lin Ai said, "Thank you."

After bringing a gift back for Lin Ai, Su Mubai seemed to be explaining to Lin Ai that he had been on a business trip during this period and therefore did not come to see her.

He wanted to contact her, but when he thought of the conversation they had before he went on a business trip, Su Mubai stopped contacting her.

So what if we contacted each other? What can we say after we contacted each other?

The car was very quiet. Su Mubai looked at Lin Ai who was slow to speak and didn't know where to start.

Turning to look at Su Mubai, seeing that he was staring at her without saying anything, Lin Ai spoke first.

She said, "About the agreement?"

For Lin Ai, it seems that there is nothing else between the two of them except the agreement.

Lin Ai spoke first, and Su Mubai said "hmm" first, then said: "Let's proceed according to the agreement first. I want a child."

Su Mubai was just talking nonsense. Ever since they had talked it out that night, he hadn't thought about the child at all. He didn't have the time or energy to think about it. He just knew very well in his heart that if he didn't use the agreement to talk about things, then he and Lin Ai would basically be finished.

Lin Ai will not have any intersection with him.

That's why he brought up the agreement right now, wanting to give both of them some time to calm down.

Su Mubai said he wanted a child, and Lin Ai nodded: "Okay, I will fulfill the agreement."

After that, she looked at Su Mubai and said, "It's just that I can't stay over at your place often. I can't explain to my parents. I can go over during the weekdays. I don't have to wait until the weekend."

Su Mubai said he wanted a child, and Lin Ai only thought about the child. This matter did not have to be done on the weekend as agreed. It could be done on weekdays as well. It could be done quickly, and she would go back after it was done.

"OK, alright."

Su Mubai agreed. It was impossible for him not to agree. He said that he would not make things difficult for Lin Ai.

As for how much he regarded Lin Ai as a substitute and how much he regarded Lin Ai as Cheng Jian, he would think it over carefully and figure it out.

Su Mubai promised her that she didn't have to stay overnight often, and Lin Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure was great, more than ever before in the past half month. Now that Su Mubai had given her a clear result, she seemed to be able to see an end to her life.

The two talked it out, and Lin Ai said, "Okay, I'll go back today."

After saying that, she turned sideways and opened the car door.

When Lin Ai got off the car and went back, Su Mubai also got off out of habit.

After watching Lin Ai say hello and go into the building, the two of them did not hug each other, nor did they have any other intimacy.

It has changed, everything has changed.

Her mood had been slowly recovering over the past few days, but after meeting Su Mubai just now, Lin Ai was still somewhat affected.

She also forgot to take the gift Su Mubai had just given her.

After opening the door and entering the house, her mother looked at her and said, "The express delivery is back."

"Well, I got it back."

After changing her shoes and entering the house, when Lin Ai was about to go back to her room, her mother suddenly looked at her and asked, "Xiao Ai, how are you and your boyfriend doing recently? I haven't seen you go out on a date." She then said, "Mom doesn't mean to interfere in your affairs. I just feel a little weird."

Yan Xiaoli had been holding back for half a month without asking about this, but thinking that it had been quite some time, she asked today.

When her mother asked this question, Lin Ai's expression changed slightly. She should have told her family about this a long time ago, but she didn't know where to start, so she never said it.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ai said, "Mom, I broke up with him half a month ago. I found that we were not suitable for each other, so I chose to break up."

Listening to Lin Ai's words, Yan Xiaoli quickly asked again: "Will that affect your work?"

If she remembered correctly, Lin Ai said that her partner was the leader of the company.

Regarding Yan Xiaoli's concerns, Lin Ai said, "It won't affect him. He has been transferred to another company and we don't usually meet him."

Yan Xiaoli: "I see, being in a long-distance relationship is not friendly to a relationship, and you both said you are not suitable for each other, so just break up. There is nothing we can do if we are not destined to be together. Just don't be too sad, it will all pass."

Her mother comforted her, and Lin Ai nodded: "Yeah, I know."

Don't be too sad, how can she not be sad? She can only adjust herself. Fortunately, she and Su Mubai have already made an agreement. When the child is conceived, they will probably not have to meet each other.

As for work, she would make plans after she repaid Su Mubai's favor.

Lin Ai looked listless. Her mother patted her arm and told her to go back to her room to rest.

After watching her mother return to the bedroom, Lin Ai returned to her own room.

Closing the door and sitting weakly on the edge of the bed, Lin Ai never expected that Su Mubai would come to see her today.

She sat motionless by the bed for a long time before she fell back onto the bed and turned off the light.

The next day at noon, Chu Yue came to see her, and they had dinner together in a restaurant outside.

The two sat opposite each other. After listening to Su Mubai's visit to her last night and saying that they should still proceed according to the agreement, Chu Yue's expression became solemn, and two vertical lines appeared between her brows.

She said, "Xiao Ai, don't waver this time and don't make yourself feel bad again."

Because of how good Su Mubai was to Lin Ai, she thought Su Mubai fell in love with Lin Ai at first sight and that he liked Lin Ai, but it turned out that he was just treating Lin Ai as a substitute.

This person is going too far.

But then again, if it weren't for this, he would be unlikely to resolve Lin Ai's family affairs.

Life is so bloody.

Nodding, Lin Ai said, "I know."

After this half month, Lin Ai seems to have grown a lot and figured out many things.

Chu Yue said: "But you have been together many times before, how come you are still not pregnant?"

Lin Ai: "I don't know. My previous physical examinations were all healthy and no problems were found."

When Lin Ai finished speaking, Chu Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be Su Mubai's problem? Otherwise, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet?"

“……”Lin Ai just looked at Chu Yue like that.

If there really was something wrong with Su Mubai, then she might not be able to get pregnant even if she spent her entire life, let alone a year.

After staring at Chu Yue for a long while with complicated eyes, Lin Ai suddenly remembered something and said, "He should be fine. He showed me his medical examination report."

Chu Yue said: "Then why haven't you two gotten pregnant yet?"

Lin Ai said: "Let's try and see. If it doesn't work, let's go to the hospital for a check-up together."

Chu Yue asked: "Can Su Mubai cooperate with you?"

Lin Ai said: "If he wants to have a child, then he must go for a check-up. No matter who he wants, he must go for a check-up."

At this moment, Lin Ai seemed to have returned to the old Lin Ai. She thought that the energy should be restored soon.

At around one o'clock, the two of them finished their meal and went back to their respective companies. Chu Yue's company was nearby, so it was quite convenient for them to meet each other on weekdays.

At five o'clock in the evening, when Lin Ai finished her work, stretched and picked up the teacup, her cell phone next to her rang.

I picked it up and saw the message from Su Mubai: "Let's go home together after get off work."

Lin Ai immediately understood what he meant by these four simple words: he wanted her to go to International City.

Looking down at her phone, Lin Ai replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the intersection."

Immediately afterwards, Su Mubai replied with a "OK", and their conversation ended.

Putting the phone back on the table, Lin Ai puffed her cheeks and breathed a sigh of relief. Her current mood was much better than it was half a month ago. She had already accepted that she and Cheng Jian looked similar, and she no longer had any other illusions in her heart.

She had the advantage of looking like Cheng Jian.

So after work, Lin Ai went to the intersection where they met before to wait for Su Mubai, but her mood was different.

Not as much looking forward to it as before.

After a while, the car stopped in front of her. Lin Ai looked around as usual and made sure that there were no colleagues around before she opened the door and got in.

In the driver's seat, Su Mubai asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Lin Ai turned to look at Su Mubai: "I'll listen to you."

When his eyes fell on Lin Ai's face, Su Mubai felt like a thorn in his heart. She seemed submissive, but in fact she was just perfunctory. She was getting along with him without any emotion.

Even so, Su Mubai did not raise any objections and took Lin Ai to the restaurant they had been to before.

"Master Su, Miss Lin is here. I haven't seen you for a while. We recently launched a sweet soup that is very suitable for Miss Lin. I will send a portion to Miss Lin later."

The boss lady greeted her warmly, and Lin Ai smiled and said, "Thank you, boss lady."

moment.

The two of them entered a private room, and although they could still chat a few words while eating in the room, most of the time Lin Ai was obviously not as emotional as before. She was very polite and would smile, but there was a sense of distance.

"The boss lady is a very nice person." After the boss lady served them the dishes personally and left, Lin Ai looked at Su Mubai and said with a smile.

"Ah."

Su Mubai responded indifferently, and Lin Ai stopped talking.

After dinner, when the two returned to International City, Su Mubai's phone was very busy, and Lin Ai just wanted to have some quiet time.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in the underground parking lot. When Su Mubai opened the door and got out, Lin Ai also got out.

When they walked to the front aisle, a car suddenly rushed over. Su Mubai quickly grabbed Lin Ai who was walking next to him.

In fact, Lin Ai had already seen the car and stopped.

Looking back at Su Mubai, Lin Ai did not pull her hand back awkwardly, nor did she deliberately distance herself. She just said, "Thank you."

Now that everything has been made clear, she won't do anything deliberately to get along with Su Mubai. They will continue to get along with each other as they were supposed to, just like when they reached the agreement.

Because I know that everything will be fine after I get through this period.

Lin Ai's thanks made Su Mubai feel blocked in his heart. She didn't look much different, but he felt different in his heart.

He let go of Lin Ai's hand, and the two walked towards the elevator together, with Lin Ai putting her hands in her pockets.

Following Su Mubai into the house, Lin Ai put her bag on the cabinet next to her. Then she looked at Su Mubai and raised her hand to the button on her collar.

In the past, when the two of them came back, they would always hug or kiss first.

At this moment, Lin Ai skipped all the processes and just unbuttoned her clothes directly.

On the side, Su Mubai's face suddenly darkened: "Lin Ai, do you have to do this?"
