Wen Wannian smiled and said, "Oh, so you don't recognize me anymore?"

Su Ruobai furrowed her brow in confusion and asked, "Why are you here? Weren't you busy with your mistress outside?"

After saying that, he fell silent.

Okay, this was just his speculation. In the previous life and this life, Wen Nianquan never stays at home. Although this place is their shared home, judging from Wen Nianquan's prolonged absence, it seems that he is once again using passive-aggressive behavior towards Su Ruobai.

So, in his spare time, Su Ruobai would occasionally think about where he would live in his later years, and whether he would find a young mistress outside...

Thinking about these things is not because of jealousy, but rather comparison.

It's impossible to deny that after all this time, there was nothing but sheer delight in his heart regarding the fact that he would have a chance to live again.

He was an atheist who didn't believe in heaven or hell. Perhaps after a person died, they would return to a certain point in their previous life and make a new choice, starting over with a fresh life.

So he often compares the events that happened in the previous life with the events in this life. Among them, the most perplexing to him is Wen Wannian.

This person... is not simple.

Su Ruobai's mind cleared up a lot, and only then did she suddenly realize her current state.

The sensation of emptiness below caused his cheeks to quickly flush red.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran.

Wen watched his figure disappear at the staircase, his smile gradually fading, a shadow cast upon his eyes.

Twenty minutes later, Su Ruobai slowly walked down the stairs again, dragging his feet.

He needed to eat, and he had to go to work soon.

Fortunately, I had a good night's sleep and woke up early in the morning, so I didn't have to rush and worry about being late.

Wen had already prepared breakfast and it was waiting for him on the dining table.

Facing each other, Su Ruobai felt uncomfortable and avoided eye contact. She cleared her throat and said, "Thank you for breakfast."

"You're welcome," Wen Wannian said with a gentle smile, "After we finish eating, I'll give you a ride to work."

"Will it not delay your work?" If someone offers to give him a ride, it would naturally be more convenient than calling a car.

"Not delaying. There haven't been any cases recently, so I've been relatively free," Wen Wanqian said as she picked up a small dish with her chopsticks and fed it to Su Ruobai.

The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened, while also appearing affectionate as they shared their breakfast together.

Whether Wen Wannian was pretending or acting according to his true nature, Su Ruobai went along with it. He didn't believe in love at first sight, and Wen Wannian wasn't the type to fall in love at first sight either.

Su Ruobai quietly thanked Wen Wannian as he was dropped off at the entrance of Wanrong Mansion.

"If you really want to thank me, let me continue picking you up tonight," Wen Wannian smiled brightly from the driver's seat, making the whole world seem dull in comparison.

Su Ruobai unconsciously looked away and made a sound of agreement.

"A little cold." Wen Wannian suddenly said, "Outside, we should be more affectionate."

I'm not sure what triggered Su Ruobai with these words, but he took a deep breath, and the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared. "That's very boring."

Su Jiacheng treated him like garbage and handed him over to Wen Wannian. And now he even had to pretend to be affectionate with this man whom he wasn't familiar with just for Su Jiacheng's reputation?

"You're not an obedient person either," Su Ruobai looked at Wen Wannian. "I don't care about your background, your scheming, or the ambitious grand vision that the Su family in Chengdu may never achieve. Right now, your pretentiousness makes me uncomfortable."

In his later years, Wen seemed to have gone too far, gradually engulfing his heart with a gentle mask.

The feeling of having their territory invaded made Su Ruobai very uncomfortable.
