Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's son's ex-boyfriend

Lu Yu looked at the person next to him with a complicated expression.

Song Xijin looked up at him, her eyes still red, her gaze stubborn and unwilling to back down.

It must have taken a lot of courage for him to say those words.

Song Xijin may never have said "I take it back" to anyone in his life.

"Mr. Song, perhaps you're just a little dependent on me because we've slept together a few times, but that's not love."

"I don't know if I love you." Song Xijin stared stubbornly into Lu Yu's eyes, and the hand holding Lu Yu's fingers tightened even more.

His fingers were long and slender, white, and when he held Lu Yu's pale wheat-colored hand, his knuckles turned blue.

"But Lu Yu, when you're not around, I feel like nothing is right."

Nothing is right, I'm going crazy!

"Eating is wrong, sleeping is wrong, during meetings my mind will suddenly drift to you, wondering if things are going well on set, if you're squatting in some corner eating a boxed lunch again."

"Lu Yu, besides you, who else could have turned me into this?"

Lu Yu fell silent.

He stared into Song Xijin's eyes, and those eyes were filled with him.

Song Xijin gripped his hand tightly, so tightly that his knuckles ached.

He didn't pull it away.

"Mr. Song, give me some time, I need to think about it."

"I've already said all this, and you still want to think about it?" Song Xijin's voice was hoarse, and disappointment and resentment were clearly written on her face.

"Lu Yu, have you never thought about getting back together with me?"

Song Xijin wanted to settle their identities tonight; he didn't want Lu Yu to avoid the topic any longer.

I absolutely do not want to hear that bullshit "we're just friends with benefits" again!

He wanted to be with Lu Yu openly and honestly, to be able to text her whenever he wanted, and to call her whenever he wanted.

The reason for meeting is no longer just to have sex.

Song Xijin wanted everyone to know that Li Luyu was his person, not just a casual sex partner.

He's a perfectly normal boyfriend.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and looked up at Song Xijin intently.

His eyes were deep and dark, and his emotions were always well hidden, but now there was a hint of unease.

"Mr. Song, may I ask you a question first?"

"Go ahead and ask." Seeing that his tone had softened, Song Xijin's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

What questions can't he answer?

He is clean in body and mind, and now he only has Lu Yu.

He had nothing to hide, no secrets to hide, nothing at all.

"Will you bring me into the public eye openly, tell others that I'm your girlfriend, introduce me to your family, and let them know that I'm your boyfriend?" Lu Yu's voice was calm.

"Mr. Song, can you do that? I can't continue being a mistress who can't be seen in public."

The carriage fell silent.

The car was parked in front of the hotel, the engine was still running, and very slight vibrations were transmitted from the chassis.

The partition was raised, so the driver didn't know if he was still in the car, and even if he was, he couldn't hear the conversation in the back seat.

In the entire back seat, there was only the sound of breathing between the two people, who were less than a fist's width apart.

Song Xijin's mouth was slightly open, but she did not answer for a moment.

He wasn't unwilling; he was just thinking about how to do it.

The Song family was no ordinary family.

His father, Song Yuanming, was an extremely traditional person who planned every step of his life from childhood to adulthood.

Everything about him was done according to the standards of the Song family heir.

Although my mother was more open-minded, her attitude toward the issue of marrying someone of equal social standing was not fundamentally different from my father's.

Even if they could accept that he likes men, they couldn't accept that he's dating a new male actor.

Song Xijin needs a plan, a solution that his parents can't object to.

He hasn't decided yet.

In Lu Yu's eyes, Song Xijin's silence was enough to say everything.

A knowing glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

Not disappointed.

He already knew the answer.

No matter how much Song Xijin chased after him or how good she was to him, there was still a high wall between them, built by their backgrounds, social classes, and family circumstances.

It still stands there.

It's not something you can overcome by just sleeping a few times.

"Mr. Song, I am very grateful to you for helping me invest in the film crew and changing my co-star."

I will also give my best performance and try my best to make your investment pay off, but Mr. Song," Lu Yu's tone remained gentle and sincere, without a trace of resentment,

"Even if you don't help me, the male lead is still Qiao Zhixi. After this drama airs, I'm still confident that I can outshine him."

"Since I have chosen this path, I can move forward on my own, but it may be a little more difficult. I will encounter cold looks and be harassed for no reason along the way."

But none of this could stop me from climbing higher.

"Mr. Song, you can certainly make my path smoother and faster, but I can do it myself."

"Lu Yu, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm meddling in other people's business?" Song Xijin sensed something was off about his words.

On the surface, these words express gratitude, but in reality, they draw a line.

Doesn't that mean Lu Yu can manage without him?

His help to Lu Yu was merely icing on the cake, not a lifeline.

But what's wrong with that?

Why choose to suffer when there are shortcuts available?

"I'm thanking you, Mr. Song," Lu Yu said sincerely, without any other intention.

"But what you meant wasn't gratitude." Song Xijin's voice turned cold again.

This time he didn't get angry; his gaze towards Lu Yu was complicated.

Confusion, frustration, and bewilderment after being pushed away.

I don't believe you can't see my feelings for you.

Lu Yu, what exactly are you trying to say today?

Song Xijin didn't know why Lu Yu was telling him all this for no reason.

Aren't they talking about getting back together?

Why did you suddenly bring up career, self-reliance, and the idea that you can succeed without him?

He didn't say he wanted to keep Lu Yu as a mistress, nor did he ask Lu Yu to stop filming and stay home, just to spend time with him.

He simply invested some money to improve the production conditions and replace the male lead who was bullying people.

Is this wrong?

"So, Mr. Song, can you answer my initial question?" Lu Yu steered the conversation back to the main topic, looking directly at Song Xijin without flinching.

He was very stubborn tonight, unlike his usual self.

In the past, Lu Yu would lightly brush off this topic, but he didn't today.

He just wants an answer.

I'm not forcing Song Xijin, I'm forcing myself...

Lu Yu needed to make himself fully aware of where the boundaries of his relationship with Song Xijin lay.

"I...I need time to talk to my family."

"My friend's side is fine, it's just that my family needs time."

You don't know my dad very well. If I confront him now, not only will he not agree, but he will also..." Song Xijin stopped there, not saying that he would interfere with your acting career.

He didn't want Lu Yu to feel burdened, nor did he want Lu Yu to feel that his family was a threat.
