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

Feeling angry, Su Mubai did not go to look for Lin Ai. When Lin Ai sent him a message, he felt a little relieved.

But it wasn't completely gone, so he didn't reply to Lin Ai's message, but asked Zhou Yang to pick her up.

Lin Ai was surprised to see Zhou Yang's car parked nearby.

Su Mubai didn’t reply to her message just now, and didn’t he ask Zhou Yang to pick her up?

Is he so busy that he doesn't even have time to send a message or say hello to her in advance?

Lin Ai looked surprised. Zhou Yang had already gotten out of the car. He walked around the front of the car and opened the passenger door: "Ms. Lin."

Su Mubai values ​​Lin Ai, and Zhou Yang is also particularly polite to Lin Ai. He always feels that their relationship will not just stop at an agreement.

Seeing Zhou Yang opening the car door for her, Lin Ai smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou is so polite."

After saying that, Lin Ai still bent down and got into the car.

The moment the car door closed, Lin Ai looked up at Zhou Yang who was quickly around the front of the car. She felt that Su Mubai seemed a little strange today, as if he was angry with her, angry that she hadn't seen him for a few days.

The car started. Lin Ai did not ask Zhou Yang anything. Instead, Zhou Yang took the initiative to explain: "Boss Su went to a meeting today, so he asked me to pick up Miss Lin."

Lin Ai smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou has been in the company for quite a while."

"I have been working as a secretary for Mr. Su for eight years." Then he added, "I have been with Mr. Su for eight years. I can see that Mr. Su likes Miss Lin very much. This is also the first time I see Mr. Su looking for a partner."

Zhou Yang was not lying when he said this. Su Mubai had indeed been single for so many years.

But at the moment, he and Lin Ai were just chatting about their own things.

Zhou Yang spoke well of Su Mubai, but Lin Ai smiled without saying anything. As Su Mubai's secretary, of course he would speak for Su Mubai.

After a while, the car stopped downstairs of the International City Residential Building. When Zhou Yang was about to get out of the car to open the door for Lin Ai, Lin Ai was amused and said, "Okay, Secretary Zhou, stop working. You are still my leader, so how can I ask you to open the door for me all the time?"

As Lin Ai spoke, she unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door and got out.

At this time, Zhou Yang also got out of the car and greeted Lin Ai, "Miss Lin, I'll go back first."

"Well, you should get off work quickly."

Watching Zhou Yang get into the car, Lin Ai felt that it was not easy to be a secretary for the boss. He had to be busy with everything and his off-get off work time was not his own.

After watching Zhou Yang's car drive away, Lin Ai turned around and went into the building.

At the same time, Zhou Yang's Audi A6 had just started up when he picked up the phone and called Su Mubai: "Boss Su, I've just sent Miss Lin downstairs."

"Ah."

On the other end of the phone, Su Mubai responded expressionlessly and then hung up.

Then, she threw the phone on the coffee table. Su Mubai's face was still solemn and deep. Thinking of the photos in the afternoon, Su Mubai's heart was blocked again.

He had been thinking that if Lin Ai didn't want to be with him, they should just break up and he wouldn't look for her again.

But when he thought back on it, thinking about how much time and energy he had spent on her and how he had even learned to cook for her, he felt unwilling.

There are too many sunk costs.

Therefore, even if we want to break up, we have to make it clear. We can't break up in an unclear and ambiguous way.

……

The elevator kept going up. Lin Ai never thought that Su Mubai was holding a photo in his hand. Su Mubai thought a lot.

The elevator door opened, Lin Ai got off the elevator, and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.

When she arrived at Su Mubai's door, Lin Ai did not enter the password or use fingerprint to open the door, but knocked on the door.

Even though she has been here many times, Lin Ai never considers this place as her home.

Inside the room, Su Mubai heard a knock on the door, and for a moment, he felt complicated.

His first reaction was happiness.

Su Mubai hadn't seen Lin Ai for a few days, so he was happy to see her now.

However, thinking of those photos taken in the afternoon and how happily she and other men were laughing, Su Mubai suddenly became unhappy and annoyed again.

He was more annoyed with the man in the photo than with Lin Ai.

At this moment, Zhou Yang had also gone to investigate the situation.

Su Mubai came to the entrance with a cold face and opened the door without changing his expression.

Seeing Lin Ai standing at the door as if nothing had happened, he said coldly: "I haven't come for a few days, and the door won't open?"

“……”Looking up at Su Mubai, Lin Ai was speechless.

She said that Su Mubai was in a bad mood today, and sure enough, he started to find fault before she even entered the house.

Seeing Su Mubai suddenly turn around and go to the living room, Lin Ai said, "Su Mubai, you don't seem to be in a good mood today. How about I go back first?"

Standing at the door with her head poking inside, Lin Ai said this deliberately to test Su Mubai.

After listening to Lin Ai's words, Su Mubai turned and looked at her.

He just looked at her, as if to say, just go and try.

Su Mubai glanced over, and Lin Ai walked into the house and coaxed him, "No, I won't leave."

The door was closed, Lin Ai entered the room, and Su Mubai breathed a sigh of relief.

In his heart, he still cares about Lin Ai very much.

After entering the room, Lin Ai looked around and clearly felt that the atmosphere was different from the previous times she came. Su Mubai's mood was very low.

However, her mood was relatively calm and she was not affected by Su Mubai. She even found Su Mubai's angry look a bit funny.

He was in a bad mood and could have chosen not to see her and go do something of his own, but he asked Zhou Yang to pick her up.

He really can't get over it.

Su Mubai caught the look in Lin Ai's eyes as she surveyed the room. He walked to the side cabinet, lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and smoke rings came out of his mouth naturally.

Lin Ai raised her hand to disperse the smell of cigarette, and Su Mubai quickly put out the cigarette.

After putting out the cigarette, he looked at Gu Nanyan calmly and asked, "What have you been busy with these days?"

Four days, they didn't see each other for four whole days. He made an appointment with her every day, but Gu Nanyue made excuses every day.

As a result, this afternoon, she received photos of her with other men, which made Su Mubai furious.

In response to Su Mubai's question, Lin Ai said, "Work. I'll go home after I'm done with work."

Su Mubai put his hands back in his pockets and looked directly at Lin Ai: "Lin Ai, if you really have any ideas, it's better to take the initiative to explain. If I find out, I'm afraid the ending will not satisfy you."

Su Mubai's words were a bit tough, so tough that Lin Ai felt uncomfortable.

After that day in her office, she had already let it go and never bothered with Su Mubai. She just wanted to repay his favor as soon as possible.

But what he just said made her uncomfortable.

What was she thinking? Besides repaying the favor, what else could she think?

Looking at Su Mubai, Lin Ai also put away her cheerfulness and her intention to tease him. She looked at him and said, "Su Mubai, I don't think I'm a secretive person. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."

No matter how others treat her, she will respond with the same attitude. Su Mubai spoke in a firm tone and Lin Ai did not show any weakness.

Looking directly at Lin Ai, seeing that she had no idea what was going on, Su Mubai felt so frustrated.

After staring at Lin Ai motionlessly for a while, Su Mubai threw his cell phone on the table next to her.

Seeing this, Lin Ai looked at Su Mubai for a while, then retracted her gaze and reached out to pick up the phone that Su Mubai threw to her.

The phone screen is on, fixed on a photo in the album.

However, the person in the photo was none other than her, a photo of her and another man.

The next second, Lin Ai understood what Su Mubai meant. She suspected that she had someone else outside.

Thinking of this, Lin Ai suddenly found it funny and thought Su Mubai was childish.

Seeing his expression, she thought something had happened. If someone didn't know, they would think she was caught cheating in bed.

After laughing, Lin Ai looked at the remaining photos, all of which were photos of her and another man.

After looking at the photos, Lin Ai threw the phone back, then looked at Su Mubai and asked, "Did you send someone to follow me?"

If this is true, then Su Mubai is too idle and too scary.

She just looks like Cheng Jian, and the relationship between them is just a contractual one.

In response to Lin Ai's question, Su Mubai replied coldly: "I'm not that free, I'm not that bored."

Su Mubai denied stalking him, and Lin Ai said nonchalantly: "Your photo didn't capture anything, what do you want me to say?" Besides, there seemed to be no need for explanation between them.

Lin Ai disagreed and said that the photo didn't capture anything. Su Mubai's face instantly became even uglier.

She's been photographed with other guys, and she's been avoiding him for the past few days, doesn't she need an explanation?

So he looked at Lin Ai and said directly: "Lin Ai, am I too good to you? Am I spoiling you too much?"

Su Mubai said this in a loud voice, his attitude was even tougher than before, and his expression was also fierce.

Since he met Lin Ai, he has never said harsh words to her or given her a cold shoulder.

When Su Mubai said that he was too good to her and spoiled her, Lin Ai's expression changed instantly. She no longer looked as relaxed as before and she couldn't smile anymore.

Spoil her?

Just looking at Su Mubai, Lin Ai didn't say anything and didn't say anything back.

Lin Ai's expression and eyes changed suddenly. Lin Ai looked at him without saying anything. Su Mubai suddenly felt guilty and wilted.

When their eyes met, he suddenly felt a surge of grievance in his heart, a strong sense of grievance.

The two of them just looked at each other. Seeing that Lin Ai didn't speak for a long time and just looked at him like that, Su Mubai spoke first.

He said, "I admit that I noticed you and first came into contact with you because you looked a bit like Cheng Jian. But Lin Ai, we have known each other for so long and have been together for so long. I have never let you down or embarrassed you in any way."

"Every time I see you, I am happy. Every time I see you, I hold you in my hands. I haven't cleaned a broom in decades, but I am still happy to cook for you. When you are happy and smiling, I am happier than if I had signed a big contract or had something good happen to me."

Without waiting for Lin Ai to speak, Su Mubai continued, "Don't say that I did all these things because you look like Cheng Jian. I am making up for my regrets towards Cheng Jian on you. Let me tell you, Lin Ai, when I was with Cheng Jian, I didn't take care of her like this, and I didn't treat her so well."

"I am sad and reluctant to let her go, but I have no guilt or regrets. After all, her illness was not caused by me, and I don't need to make up for her, let alone make up for my regrets for her on you."

"I can tell you very clearly that I have no regrets about her. I did everything I should have done at the time. It was not up to me to decide whether she should have lived."

"It's true that I haven't forgotten her. After all, she was a living person in my life. But you don't have to think that I am with you just because I treat you as her substitute. I am not that affectionate, nor do I have a good memory. I would remember someone who has passed away for more than ten years 24 hours a day."

Although what he said may sound a bit unfriendly to Cheng Jian, he is a normal person. He remembers her, but not every second. He really has no regrets back then. As a classmate and her last boyfriend, he did everything he could and should do within his age and ability at the time.
