    On the plane from Kyoto to Shangcheng, Su Ruobai sat by the window, with Wen Wannian just having taken a seat beside them.

    Two hours ago, in the face of the open and alluring invitation from his "newlywed wife," Wen Wannian agreed with a mysterious expression on his face.

    So, one plane ticket turned into two plane tickets. I don't know if it was divine intervention or just good luck, but as it turned out, there was someone who cancelled their ticket on the originally fully booked flight, and the seat they cancelled happened to be right next to Wen Wannian's ticket.

    Wen Wannian squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at his inexplicably excited "little wife".

    "Very happy?" His gentle voice remained as calm as always.

    Su Ruobai smiled slightly and rhythmically tapped the armrest with her fingers, saying, "I am naturally happy when I don't often go far from home."

    Wen Wannian raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.

    Everyone knows about the existence of the young master of the Su family, but the number of people who have actually seen him can be counted on one hand.

    The situation in the Su family is somewhat unique; Mr. Su has two sons: the eldest, Su Jiahang, and the second son, Su Jiacheng.

    Twenty-one years ago, Su Jiahang died suddenly of a heart attack. At that time, his wife, upon hearing the news, went into difficult labor and eventually gave birth to Su Ruobai. However, she also passed away. As a result, rumors spread that this child named Su Ruobai was an ill-fated star, orphaned by fate, having lost both parents.

    However, Old Master Su did not believe in those rumors and supernatural events. He had bestowed all his love upon his eldest son, leaving no room for his grandson, and his favoritism towards him was well known.

    The young master has poor health, so the old master has hired tutors and doctors to wait in the mansion.

    After the death of Su Laoye, Su Ruobai, who possessed all the love and favor from everyone, was immediately married off to a stranger named Wen Wannian by his envious second uncle, under the pretext of 'growing old together with the person you love.'

    Wen lowered her gaze in her later years, concealing a glimmer of radiance within.

    "Do you feel like marrying me isn't a great deal?" a voice with a hint of laughter sounded beside him.

    Wen Wannian smiled gently and said, "Why would you say that?"

    Su Ruobaishrugged his shoulders. "A sickly guy who can't even lift his own hand, yet dares to act tough with his shoulders. He's grown accustomed to the life of a wealthy young master. From now on, you will have to support me and take care of me. You won't be able to get any dowry from the Su family, so you'll have to tell others that you climbed up the high branch of the Su family."

    Wen Wannian laughed at his words, "Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit shortchanged."

    Facing the handsome face that revealed a smile, Su Ruobai raised her eyebrows and asked with a slight confusion, "You don't mind?"

    Wen Wannian just smiled and looked deeply at him, then averted her gaze.

    【Progress: 2/100】

    Su Ruobai didn't have time to ponder the meaning behind Wen Wannian's glance when he was suddenly startled by a white rectangular box that appeared below his line of sight.

    He stared at the gradually fading box, his brow furrowed deeply.

    He did not look away until the silhouette disappeared completely.

    "What's wrong with you?" Wen Wannian, who had been observing him from the corner of his eye, asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

    Su Ruobaie paused for a moment, relaxed her furrowed brow, and smilingly responded, "No, I'm fine, just a little tired."

    Wen Wannian: "Then let's sleep. It's still two hours away."

    Su Ruobai leaned back against the chair, slightly closing her eyes, looking lazy like a little wild cat.

    Wen's gaze returned to him in his later years, his eyes filled with melancholy.

    It's strange, very strange.

    If it weren't for the fact that there has been no trace of Su Ruobai leaving the villa since he entered last night, Wen Wannian would really suspect if someone else had impersonated him.

    Su Ruobai obviously couldn't fall asleep either. The text that appeared in her line of sight just now was obviously not on the chair in front of her, but solely within her own field of vision.

    What does this mean?

    Su Ruobai's heart sank.

    This is likely related to the matter of being reborn after one's death.
