After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Looking into Zhang Xinlong's eyes, Si Yu felt increasingly disgusted by this well-dressed middle-aged man. She was so disgusted that she wished she could avenge her baby on the spot.

But she knew very well that she had to hold back, otherwise she would only be dragged into an abyss from which she could not escape.

Taking a deep breath, Si Yu felt a burning hatred for Zhang Xinlong, while Zhang Xinlong was equally annoyed by Si Yu's stubbornness.

"You silly girl... sigh, you really don't understand your uncle's good intentions. Once you miss this opportunity, you won't find another one, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Uncle. If we miss this village, there are still many towns, counties, cities and provinces to go. The world is vast."

The smile that appeared youthful was actually a playful jab at Zhang Xinlong's petty schemes.

"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm good to you but you're being treated like dirt. I won't introduce you to anyone anymore. Just tell me when you visit your parents' graves that it's not that I don't want to help you with your marriage, it's that you look down on me."

Zhang Xinlong's words were a classic case of feigning retreat to advance, but Si Yu knew perfectly well what his ulterior motives were and was unlikely to fall for it. She simply nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will definitely tell my parents at their graves that it was not my uncle's fault, that he was not to blame, and that it was entirely my own problem."

The matter had already been settled, and Zhang Xinlong felt he was losing face, but he couldn't vent his anger on Si Yu, since it was reasonable for her to have the right to refuse.

However, this situation made him, who always felt that he was in control of everything, feel for the first time that he was losing control of the situation.

This feeling also made Zhang Xinlong realize that Si Yu was now an adult and fully capable of taking back what belonged to her.

In the past, Si Yu had objected to some of his decisions, but in the end, she would never embarrass him, and even if things didn't work out, she would still save face.

But this time, the girl didn't give him any face. She was clearly determined to cause trouble, and a sense of crisis immediately swept over him.

“Siyu, since you’re so determined not to have any contact with Xiao Liu, then your uncle can’t force you. That’s fine, your uncle will go back with Xiao Liu now.”

"Okay, Uncle, please be careful on the road."

After saying that, Si Yu saw Zhang Xinlong out the door and then closed it.

Since Si Yu's plan didn't work out, Zhang Xinlong ignored Xiao Liu completely when he went out, turned around, pressed the elevator button, and left.

Xiao Liu stood still, not daring to follow. After all, his previous actions of pulling on Boss Zhang meant he no longer had a chance to climb the ranks by relying on him, so there was no point in continuing.

However, if Si Yu's situation doesn't work out, then he can settle for second best. He doesn't necessarily need a rich girl of equal social standing. Anyway, his family is wealthy and he doesn't have to worry about food or drink. If the blonde mixed-race girl next door is willing to have a story with him, that would be pretty good too.

As Zhang Xinlong's elevator descended floor by floor, Xiao Liu glanced at Si Yu's closed security door and then quickly stepped forward to knock on Lin Ying's door.

I took a deep breath to bolster my courage; striking up a conversation is no easy task.

After knocking on the door, Xiao Liu waited a full ten seconds, but the door showed no sign of opening, prompting him to knock again.

But this time, no one opened the door, as if Lin Ying wasn't home.

However, this possibility is simply impossible. After all, Lin Ying came out just now, and although she came out with a knife, it didn't stop her temperament and appearance from being really attractive.

Just as Xiao Liu was about to knock on Lin Ying's door, Si Yu from next door suddenly opened the somewhat heavy security door, followed by an impatient remark.

"Stop knocking on their door. If they have something to say, you don't even know them. If they're looking for something more, they're already taken and wouldn't even look at you. Just leave."

Chapter 140 Yes, definitely

Xiao Liu was embarrassed by Si Yu's blunt and unreserved words.

However, in this situation, a normal guy who cares about his image would definitely not admit it, since admitting it would only make things more awkward.

"No, you misunderstood. I just wanted to ask if the girl next door could let me know if she needed any help. She really scared me when she pulled out a knife earlier. Now I'm just thinking that it's pretty impressive that a foreigner would dare to help you like this."

Seeing the awkward smile made Si Yu almost not want to say anything more, but since no one admitted to having designs on Lin Ying, there was no need to say anything more and cause unnecessary trouble.

Si Yu closed the door again and stopped asking questions. Lin Ying had helped her once, even though it was a misunderstanding. Everyone else meant well, so Si Yu felt that she had repaid the favor by reminding her this time, so as not to let Lin Ying be targeted by a man with a disordered mind.

Standing between the two doors, looking at the tightly closed door, Xiao Liu not only gained absolutely no benefit, but also caused Zhang Xinlong's goodwill towards him to drop drastically.

When he gets back, he'll at least get a severe scolding from his dad.

As for Lin Ying at this moment, she was standing at the door looking out through the peephole, and naturally saw the scene of Si Yu coming out and talking with Xiao Liu.

Although they couldn't understand each other's conversation, Si Yu could tell from their expressions that she didn't like Xiao Liu, while Xiao Liu looked quite embarrassed.

As for why Xiao Liu knocked on her door, Lin Ying didn't think it was anything like striking up a conversation. Instead, she assumed he was looking for trouble, and that Si Yu came out to help her.

This language barrier backfired.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's time for Bai Yu to return to Beicheng. Although she spent the previous day at Su Rongxue's house, she didn't see her mother, Luo Er'ai, return.

This situation was commonplace for Su Rongxue. Ever since her father passed away, she had never seen her mother more than twice a week.

Standing at the door of the room, Bai Yu hadn't brought anything with her when she came, and naturally she wouldn't take anything with her when she left.

But Su Rongxue wanted to give him a lot of things, such as local delicacies from the capital, graphics cards, computers, game consoles, and so on.

These things weren't originally in Su Rongxue's home; she bought them early on because she knew Bai Yu would be interested in them.

However, no matter how much she invited Bai Yu to her house, he refused to come, to the point that Su Rongxue almost forgot how many things she had bought.

"Xiaoxue, there are too many things. Let's just leave them at home. We can play together next time I come over. Besides, I can't take them all with me, can I?"

Seeing Bai Yu's helpless expression, Su Rongxue still wanted to insist that he take the gifts she had prepared back with him.

"Could you bring...bring some, or I can mail it to you...?"

He bent down slightly, getting close to Su Rongxue's slightly flushed face, staring into her eyes that were as bright as red gemstones, their shimmering surface captivating.

“No need for that trouble. We’re getting married soon. These things will just stay ours after we move them around. Instead of moving them, wouldn’t it be more meaningful to let them witness our wedding?”

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue's beautiful eyes narrowed involuntarily, and her smile became as gorgeous and radiant as a hundred flowers in bloom.

"Well...that would be nice too..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and hugged Bai Yu's waist tightly, giving her a full-force embrace. Bai Yu could also feel how attractive her words were to Su Rongxue.

He turned around and hugged the girl tightly, gently sniffing her long silver hair. The faint milky scent was as pleasant as ever.

Bai Yu used to think that she had a very sensitive nose because she could smell many scents and smell them very clearly.

But gradually he realized that while his nose could indeed smell a girl's scent, each girl had her own unique fragrance, which only she and the person who loved her could smell.

So from the time he was reborn and soon after he met the girls, he had always liked them, but he had never faced his deepest feelings for them.

"Alright, Xiaoxue, it's about time for me to head back. If anything comes up, feel free to call me. School starts soon, so we can meet at school then."

After saying that, Bai Yu turned around and walked towards the private elevator on the second floor of the villa.

Watching Bai Yu's retreating figure, Su Rongxue stood there for a few seconds before suddenly running up and hugging him from behind.

"I...I can't bear to part with you..."

Her soft, weak voice was filled with deep reluctance, and one could even detect a hint of grievance in her words.

Feeling Su Rongxue clinging to him tightly and refusing to let go, Bai Yu was both amused and exasperated. He was actually a little reluctant to part with the girl, but there were still many things to do when he got back, and he couldn't let his reluctance to part with her delay other matters.

He turned around and pulled Su Rongxue into his arms again. The next moment, Bai Yu squatted down and picked her up, hugging her little bottom and wrapping her legs around his waist.

Su Rongxue's body was very petite, and when you hugged her, she felt as light as cotton.

"I can't bear to part with you, Xiaoxue. I have a lot of things to do when I get back. For example, I need to discuss our wedding with my parents. In our area, we need to send out invitations and such for such important events. If I don't go back now to take care of these things, we'll have to wait until after summer vacation before school starts. Everyone will be even busier during the Spring Festival, and these things will take even longer, right?"

Bai Yu wasn't lying to Su Rongxue about anything he said, because getting married was indeed a lot of trouble for them, who were still college students.

Su Rongxue was not an unreasonable girl. Although she was still reluctant to see Bai Yu leave the capital and return to Beicheng, she was more looking forward to it when she thought that he would be busy with their wedding.

Besides, school will start soon, and then I'll be able to see Bai Yu every day.

"Well... then you go ahead with your work, I won't bother you..."

Releasing her grip on Bai Yu, Su Rongxue prepared to slide off him.

But at this moment, Bai Yu suddenly reached out and hugged her waist, refusing to let go. She lowered her head and looked into her eyes, speaking softly.

"You can go down, but you have to give your future husband a sweet kiss. Will you kiss him?"

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue blushed and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she tilted her head back and kissed Bai Yu on the lips.

The sweet and fragrant taste was very delicious, but she fell for Bai Yu's trick after that kiss.

Just when Su Rongxue thought that she could just give a quick kiss and then pull back, Bai Yu hugged her waist tightly and kissed her more and more deeply.

The soft, slippery texture lingered in my mouth, and my pearly teeth were no match for the soul-stirring attack.

She wanted to catch her breath, but Su Rongxue found that she couldn't breathe at all and could only hold her breath and let Bai Yu do whatever she wanted.

This kiss was no longer brief, although Su Rongxue was not very skilled at such overt kisses and was even a little reserved.

But it must be said that Bai Yu is very experienced and has a firm grip on Su Rongxue's delicate tongue.

Bai Yu kissed Su Rongxue for a full half minute before letting her go.

As soon as she opened her tightly closed lips, the girl began to gasp for breath.

"How is Xiaoxue?"

Instead of caring that Su Rongxue was almost unable to breathe because of his bullying, Bai Yu asked her how she felt.

And this girl is so innocent and cute. When Bai Yu asked her that question, she just went along with it.

"I'm just... a little out of breath..."

Her fair and delicate face flushed red, and her eyes were watery with shyness, making her incredibly adorable.

"Alright, Xiaoxue, I really have to go now. Beicheng University will be starting soon, so let's meet at the school then. Bye-bye."

After saying that, Bai Yu stepped forward, pressed the elevator button, and prepared to go downstairs.

This time, Su Rongxue did not follow Bai Yu to see her off. It was not because she did not want to, but because she knew that if she followed Bai Yu to the airport, she would definitely be reluctant to part with her and would shed tears. She did not want Bai Yu to see her cry.

Moreover, if I cried at that time, and Bai Yu didn't go back, then we wouldn't be able to prepare for their wedding, which would be a disaster.

Standing on the windowsill in her room, looking down at Bai Yu and the driver who were walking towards the villa gate, a feeling of reluctance welled up in her heart.

She reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and the tip of her nose was also red from the reluctance to cry.

Moreover, this scene of parting is too similar to the scene of Bai Yu leaving him for the last time in his previous life.

I watched him slowly leave in the same way, but that departure became a permanent one.

A wave of unease washed over her, and for a moment Su Rongxue almost cried out.

Crouching under the French windows, covering her mouth as she tried to call out to Bai Yu, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, making her look so pained.

But only Su Rongxue herself knew that those were just scenes from her memories of her previous life. In this life, Bai Yu did not want to leave her; they were only temporarily separated so that they could be together again in a better way.

However, even if I think about it again and again, it still doesn't alleviate much of the shadows and fears from my past life.

Standing up, watching Bai Yu's retreating figure as she got into the car, Su Rongxue finally couldn't help but ask the question she feared most.
