Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1401 My health is deteriorating!
Xu Xiuwen is not often at the company.

Without Lu Xinyao managing her subordinates, the company's development would not have been so rapid and stable.

Although he didn't say it, he always remembered Lu Xinyao's contributions.

Some might think he's exaggerating Xin Yao's role, but never overestimate human nature.

Even though a significant portion of the company's employees were personally recruited by Xu Xiuwen, who personally vetted their character and personality.

However, once Xu Xiuwen stops going to the company for an extended period and becomes a hands-off manager, things become very difficult.

So it wouldn't be surprising if any dirty things happened in the company.

Give the simplest example.

There have always been all sorts of inexplicable rumors circulating in the company.

During the meeting, he repeatedly emphasized that false information should not be spread.

The result was still that rumors were flying everywhere.

This is even with Xu Xiuwen visiting the company from time to time.

If he doesn't go to the company often, who knows how chaotic the company will become?
It was precisely because Lu Xinyao was there to oversee the company for her.

This is why the other employees worked diligently.

Closer to home.

Because Xu Xiuwen doesn't go to the company often, a lot of things, or rather, pressure, fall on Lu Xinyao's shoulders.

If Lu Xinyao were a woman of Li Haiming's age, Xu Xiuwen wouldn't feel too sorry for her.

However, Lu Xinyao is not much older than Song Xiaomi.

She's actually a young girl too.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiuwen suddenly felt a little apologetic for his behavior that afternoon.

But if time could turn back, he might still make the same move.

Xu Xiuwen looked at Lu Xinyao's face and suddenly leaned closer.

His slightly heavy breathing fell on Lu Xinyao's face.

The girl's hands, hidden under the covers, clenched unconsciously.

Just when Lu Xinyao thought Xu Xiuwen was going to kiss her.

Xu Xiuwen, however, remained undecided.

This made Lu Xinyao a little anxious.

But since she had chosen to pretend to be asleep, she could only pretend to be asleep to the end.

Otherwise, waking up in the middle of the night would only add to the embarrassment.

Xu Xiuwen finally kissed her.

His lips pressed against Lu Xinyao's soft, pink lips.

It's unclear whether it was because he was too strong or because Lu Xinyao wasn't mentally prepared.

She unconsciously hummed in agreement.

She instantly made Xu Xiuwen laugh.

Hearing Xu Xiuwen's laughter, Lu Xinyao's face flushed red.

She could only hold her breath and struggle to stay awake.

Xu Xiuwen chuckled for a moment, then stopped laughing.

Then he kissed Lu Xinyao's forehead.

After doing all this, Xu Xiuwen turned around and lay down.

She actually planned to go straight to sleep.

Lu Xinyao's decision to pretend to be asleep meant she was already prepared.

He turned out to be so clueless about romance.

And he just laughed.

Lu Xinyao was somewhat annoyed.

She decided to stop pretending to be asleep and opened her eyes.

Lu Xinyao turned over to look at Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen was naturally still awake at this time.

He looked at Lu Xinyao, blinked, and calmly asked, "How did you wake up?"

His calm reaction left Lu Xinyao speechless.

Lu Xinyao asked angrily, "Why did you play me?"

Xu Xiuwen laughed, "When did I ever play a trick on you?"

Lu Xinyao bit her lip and said, "Just now..."

"just?"

Xu Xiuwen suddenly realized what was happening.

He chuckled again and continued, "Xinyao, you're not expecting something, are you?"

"I didn't!" Lu Xinyao immediately denied.

Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "Then let's go to sleep."

He then closed his eyes.

Lu Xinyao stared wide-eyed at Xu Xiuwen.

He actually fell asleep?
Lu Xinyao frowned, thinking to herself: Could it be that she really misunderstood?
……

Lu Xinyao felt like she had been played by Xu Xiuwen.

This also made him very dissatisfied with Xu Xiuwen.

at last.

Lu Xinyao exploded.

... (modified)
Before we knew it, dawn was breaking.

Only then did Lu Xinyao let him go.

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Xu Xiuwen was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open.

In the last moment before falling asleep, a thought flashed through his mind: I have to leave this place tomorrow no matter what, otherwise if I stay here any longer, my body will probably collapse before my injuries are fully healed.

Lu Xinyao went to the bathroom.

She stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself.

She looked radiant in the mirror, showing no signs of fatigue from staying up all night.

……

When Lu Xinyao returned to the bedroom.

She discovered that Xu Xiuwen had already fallen asleep.

Lu Xinyao was stunned for a moment, then gave Xu Xiuwen a charming glare, and finally laughed.

When Xu Xiuwen woke up again, it was already noon.

The blinding sunlight pierced through the gaps in the curtains and shone into the room, casting a large, scabbard-like shadow on the blanket.

Xu Xiuwen rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, then stretched.

After stretching, the skin on his injured area was pulled. He immediately gasped.

I opened my eyes and looked to the side.

Lu Xinyao was no longer in bed.

Xu Xiuwen thought to himself that this was strange.

He stayed up all night with Lu Xinyao last night.

Even if Lu Xinyao slept until the afternoon, Xu Xiuwen wouldn't find it strange.

But she actually got up.

We're still on holiday today.

Does she have something important to do?

When Xu Xiuwen entered the living room, he suddenly stopped smiling.

He discovered that all the food on the table was highly nutritious.

At this time.

Lu Xinyao then came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl.

After she put the bowl down, Xu Xiuwen took a closer look and panicked completely.

It's turtle soup again.

Xu Xiuwen had drunk turtle soup last night, which made him feel extremely hot inside.

As a result, Lu Xinyao made turtle soup again today.

Besides turtle soup, there are also dishes like chives and stir-fried pork kidneys.

Lu Xinyao wasn't trying to nourish him; she was trying to kill him.

Xu Xiuwen was genuinely panicking at this moment.

He had only one thought in his mind.

That means we must leave here as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if he stays there too long, he'll be dead.

Lu Xinyao had no idea what Xu Xiuwen was thinking.

Because I went a bit too far with Xu Xiuwen last night.

So she only slept for two or three hours before getting up to go to the market to buy groceries.

After returning, I started preparing lunch.

Especially the turtle soup.

She endured it for at least two hours.

Seeing that Xu Xiuwen was still standing, Lu Xinyao said, "Please sit down, I'll get you some rice."

“Um…” Xu Xiuwen hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"what happened?"

"fine."

"Then I'll go get the rice."

Lu Xinyao turned around and went to the kitchen to serve rice.

Xu Xiuwen sat down.

He looked at the dishes on the table, but he really had no appetite.

It's not that Lu Xinyao did anything wrong, but the way all these things were put together made Xu Xiuwen's heart pound with fear.

Soon, Lu Xinyao came out carrying a bowl.

She placed the bowl of rice in front of Xu Xiuwen.

"Eat quickly."

"Ah."

Xu Xiuwen held the spoon in his hand, then scooped up a little bit of pig liver and put it in his mouth.

I must say, it tastes really good.

Lu Xinyao kept putting food into Xu Xiuwen's bowl.

Xu Xiuwen buried himself in his food.

We finally finished lunch.

Xu Xiuwen quickly asked, "Xinyao, where are the SIM card and the phone I asked you to get for me?"

Lu Xinyao said, "I've already bought it. Do you want me to bring it to you now?"

"Give it to me." Xu Xiuwen was already planning to run away.

"Ok."

Lu Xinyao turned around to get her phone and SIM card.

She quickly brought over the phone card and cell phone.

Xu Xiuwen glanced at her and said, "Help me insert the SIM card. Do you expect me to do it myself?"

Lu Xinyao realized what was happening and immediately did as instructed.

After inserting the card and turning on the device.

Xu Xiuwen asked Lu Xinyao to call his new number.

Lu Xinyao continued to do as instructed.

Soon, Xu Xiuwen's new cell phone rang.

Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "Okay, save your number."

Lu Xinyao hummed in agreement.

She picked up Xu Xiuwen's new phone and started fiddling with it.

What Xu Xiuwen didn't know was that Lu Xinyao had saved her number and even saved it as Yao Yao.

After getting the new phone, Xu Xiuwen didn't leave immediately. Instead, he said to Lu Xinyao, "It's rare to have such a long vacation. Do you want to go back and see your parents and younger brother?"

Lu Xinyao didn't say anything.

Xu Xiuwen knew that she still harbored resentment towards her parents.

This is also normal.

After all, no one would feel good being forced to abort a child by their parents.

Xu Xiuwen comforted her, saying, "Actually, being a parent isn't easy for them either..."

Lu Xinyao suddenly interrupted him: "Why can't you put yourself in my shoes, consider things from my perspective, and speak up for me? Why are you speaking up for them?"

This question left Xu Xiuwen speechless.

Lu Xinyao continued, "I know they had a hard time, but that's no excuse for forcing me to do that kind of thing. I really find it hard to forgive them."

Xu Xiuwen sighed upon hearing this.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then you can go back and see your brother."

Lu Xinyao didn't say anything.

However, it wasn't hard to tell from her eyes that she was somewhat hesitant.

It's clear that Lu Xinyao still has feelings for her younger brother.
