A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Meng Zhixue blushed unbelievably.

Realizing what had happened, she suddenly pushed Ying Shunian away, turned her face away in embarrassment, and raised her hand to wipe her lips, which were wet from the kiss.

"Um...I, I..." she stammered, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "Ying Shunian, you can't do this, you know that?"

It was so sudden that she didn't know what to say.

She knew why; mainly because she herself hadn't fully thought it through.

Noticing her resistance, Ying Shunian obediently stepped back a little and leaned back in her movie theater seat.

But he kept looking at her, his emotions running high and he looked embarrassed, as if he couldn't believe he had actually kissed her, and he was so excited he was about to faint.

Even in the dimly lit movie theater, you could see that his face was abnormally red.

But his eyes were even hotter than his cheeks.

Meng Zhixue: "..."

She felt as if she were a piece of transparent plastic, and he would burn her to a crisp.

Ying Shunian looked at her quietly for a while, then took her hand again and pressed her palm against his chest.

Through the thin fabric of his clothes, she could feel his heart pounding wildly, almost abnormally fast.

He took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Miss Meng, I really like you."

"If you don't want to leave President Zhou, I... I can be your mistress. I promise I'll be obedient and well-behaved, and I'll never make things difficult for you."

Meng Zhixue was stunned.

What?!

Do a reading comprehension exercise: Does he mean he wants to be her lover, the kind of love that can't be made public and doesn't matter?

To her utter surprise, Ying Shunian, whom she thought was only slightly more rigid than Feng Tingyun Kaiming, would actually make such a radical proposal.

It’s just that!

Meng Zhixue was initially shocked, then asked curiously, "I remember your studio's projects had a pretty good future. Didn't you ever imagine that you would one day achieve great success?"

Ying Shunian smiled gently: "I've thought about it."

"I believe that every man has fantasized about achieving success and fame one day, and I am no exception."

"You're closer to 'success' than most people, and you know that yourself, don't you?" Meng Zhixue asked. "What will you do if someone digs up your dark past when that time comes?"

Ying Shunian, puzzled, asked in return, "How could it be a dark history?"

"If striving for love is considered a dark history, then there wouldn't be so many poems and articles praising love in the world."

Meng Zhixue: "...But, isn't this inappropriate?"

She was with Zhou Yu, and then secretly got together with him.

That's not appropriate...

Although similar situations had occurred before, Zhou Yu and Xie Lingfeng were sworn brothers who had risked their lives for each other, but he wasn't.

Ying Shunian's eyes narrowed, then she smiled bitterly, "I know this isn't good. If he treats you well, I will definitely keep this feeling in my heart for the rest of my life."

"But he wasn't good to you. He was out of contact for a long time, ignored you constantly, and even wanted to break up with you, trying to get rid of you with 100 million... So why can't it be me?"

"Why can't there be one more of me?"

Meng Zhixue: "..."

When the topic of 100 million came up, her eyes unconsciously became complicated again.

This person is really...

How could someone as meticulous as him not notice the contradictions in his own words?

One minute she says "I can be a man outside," the next she says Zhou Yu wants to end their relationship.

If Zhou Yu really wants to end things with her, does that mean he won't have to be the other man anymore?

It seems that even the most intelligent person can lose their head a little when it comes to love.

Meng Zhixue bit her lip

Seeing that Ying Shunian wasn't joking or testing her, she sighed.

"I...I understand what you're thinking. Can you let me think about it carefully?"

"It's fine if you can consider it," a quick smile flashed across Ying Shunian's eyes.

But he immediately lowered his head and said dejectedly, "Okay, I will suppress my feelings for you and try not to put pressure on you."

Meng Zhixue got goosebumps from what he said: "...Okay."

……

Back home, Meng Zhixue ate and drank her fill, then sat on the sofa watching TV series.

I was watching a show while spacing out.

Meng Zhixue hadn't thought about her future plans very clearly before; she just wanted to take a break for now...

Now, she's thinking about it a little more.

While it's important to prioritize yourself, a lifetime is too long, and having a man by your side is quite nice.

When things are busy, someone can share the burden.

When I'm free, I have someone to chat with.

As long as the body is clean, it's fine to use it occasionally... Hmm, from this perspective, it seems better to be with Ying Shunian?

Although as the relationship progressed, all the men she encountered were the same – their words and actions in bed were inhuman – there were still differences at the very beginning.

For example, Xie Lingfeng, the most perverted one, was not human from the very beginning.

He's the absolute worst bastard!

Although he is a virgin, he should not be too ambitious or have too strong a thirst for knowledge, and he should not even read novels to learn!

He's a respectable person at work, but the moment he sees her, all he can think about are those things, and he always wants to pester her.

For example, in every lifetime, Ying Shunian was the person who respected her ideas the most.

At least in the early stages of a relationship, she said no and she meant it; she said yes... no, she almost never said yes on her own initiative...

After all, they would give it to her even if she didn't take the initiative.

But no matter what, he was the one who respected her wishes the most and was the one who could best restrain his own desires.

In this lifetime, at this point in her rebirth, the relationship between her and Zhou Yu has become so solidified that it is difficult to change.

On the contrary, Ying Shunian's side might be able to be adjusted to her liking.

Most importantly, Meng Zhixue knew that she had a bias.

She felt her life was complete after spending her old age with Zhou Yu.

However, Ying Shunian's death in the first life has always been a thorn in her heart, and she has never been able to let go of it.

Now that she has the opportunity to make up for her regrets, she really wants to seize it.

At this moment, she had made up her mind.

……

In the following period, Meng Zhixue and Zhou Yu kept in touch.

She would occasionally check on Zhou Yu's movements abroad. Because of her experience in her previous life, she knew many details about the kidnappers' abduction of Zhou's parents and subtly guided him to investigate in the right direction.

In this way, Zhou Yu rescued his parents and brought them back to the country more than half a month earlier than in his first life, saving them a lot of suffering.

In this life, Zhou's parents should live a peaceful and healthy life until old age, just like in their second and third lives.

I won't die young like in my first life.

Meng Zhixue was relieved.

In her first life, Zhou's mother looked down on her and even tried to force her to leave Zhou Yu with a check, but... since she was willing to give her a check and didn't do anything to hurt her, it was alright...

In her second and third lives, Zhou's parents even treated her well, perhaps believing Zhou Yu's lies that he was impotent and only had feelings for her.

Anyway, she has finally put one thing on her mind.

Before Zhou Yu arrived at the large apartment, she left a note saying she was going back to her hometown, packed a few things, and left.
