As soon as Lin Chuluo finished his confession, there was a moment of silence at the dinner table.
After a while, the smile on Lin Chuluo's face faded bit by bit.
He was a patient hunter, but he wasn't stupid enough to just wait for opportunities to come to him.
Back in their student days a few years ago, he had missed his chance once. This time, he wasn't going to give the other person a chance to escape.
"Miaomiao, answer me."
"Nie Anmiao" looked up, pulled herself out of her thoughts, and said to Lin Chuluo, "You're right. There are indeed problems between Lu Yan and me."
Seeing that "Nie Anmiao" finally started to recognize the failure of her marriage, Lin Chuluo raised his eyebrows slightly. "So, what do you mean..."
"I should face the problems between him and me and try to solve them. This is something that the two of us need to work out."
"And my feelings for you..." Just as Lu Yan was about to say "I'm not interested", his throat suddenly tightened.
Wait, was he making decisions for Miaomiao?
For the past three years, he had always respected Miaomiao and never interfered in any of her actions. But now, he actually wanted to take advantage of being in Miaomiao's body to reject Lin Chuluo on her behalf?
Lu Yan, when did you become so selfish!
The word "selfish" hit him like a thunderbolt right in the heart.
"What about your feelings for me?" Lin Chuluo noticed that "Nie Anmiao" seemed to be hesitating. His eyes suddenly darkened, as if he saw a glimmer of hope. "Don't be afraid. There's no one else here."
He sensed that "Nie Anmiao" was wavering. His tense body relaxed a bit. He casually picked up the plate in front of her and served her a bowl of cream soup.
"Drink it while it's hot. If it gets cold, I'll ask them to heat it up for you."
Looking at the hot soup in front of him, Lu Yan silently lowered his head and stared at his reflection in the bowl.
They were Nie Anmiao's eyes.
If it were really Miaomiao sitting here now, what kind of answer would she give?
He didn't know.
He didn't want to know, and he was too afraid to know.
"Miaomiao, I'm not in a hurry for you to give me an answer right now." After confirming the other person's hesitant attitude, Lin Chuluo was no longer as radical as before. He smiled faintly, seemingly not bothered at all. "I know that it's always hard to let go. It's only natural for ordinary people to struggle."
"Moreover, this person is Lu Yan. You need time."
Lin Chuluo clearly knew Miaomiao better than he did. His patience was astonishing.
"Nie Anmiao" didn't respond to Lin Chuluo anymore.
...
This "date" ended earlier than expected. Lu Yan was in a very heavy mood.
When he got home, Nie Anmiao was sitting on the sofa, with her head down, holding a tablet. She was probably reading the latest design magazines.
"Back?"
Hearing the noise behind her, Nie Anmiao greeted him without looking back. "You're back quite early. Did you solve everything?"
Although he knew that she was asking about the company, Lu Yan's heart sank.
He walked over, his eyes showing unreadable emotions. "Not yet. I ran into a small problem." Lu Yan frowned slightly. "It's a bit tricky."
Nie Anmiao didn't think much of it. She thought he was talking about work problems at the company, so she couldn't help but tease him. "Even a smart robot like President Lu, who always has everything planned, can make mistakes?"
Lu Yan nodded noncommittally. "Well, I'm not really that perfect after all."
Noticing that he did look a bit down, Nie Anmiao sensed something was wrong. She stopped smiling. "What's wrong? You can tell me."
"Maybe I can help."
Seeing her sincerely caring about him, the gloom in Lu Yan's heart lifted a bit.
On the way back just now, his mood had been very complicated.
He wasn't really sure if Nie Anmiao would choose him firmly when it came to matters of the heart.
At that moment, his smile faded a bit.
"Miaomiao, I want to ask you a question."
"I'll answer anything I know." Nie Anmiao could tell that Lu Yan was really confused. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to ask her. "I'll try my best to help you."
"Do you like Lin Chuluo?"
As soon as Lu Yan said this, the living room fell silent.
Nie Anmiao paused for half a second, looking a bit surprised. "Why do you ask this?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Nie Anmiao, who looked bewildered. "I remember that you two knew each other first."
"And you have a really good relationship."
Nie Anmiao gave Lu Yan a strange look. She didn't know what was wrong with him. "Lin Chuluo and I do have a good relationship, but what does this have to do with whether I like him or not?"
Lu Yan didn't answer her. He just said calmly, "If Lin Chuluo also likes you, would you consider him?"
As he said this, Lu Yan's palms started to sweat slightly.
Nie Anmiao answered instinctively, "Why not? Lin Chuluo is handsome, rich, gentle, and a perfect gentleman. He's also very polite. He's the object of admiration and pursuit for so many girls."
"Anyway, we're going to get divorced soon. Then I can be with whoever I want. It's all up to my preference."
Nie Anmiao didn't look at Lu Yan's expression. She deliberately said assertively, "Besides, I'm not lacking in suitors. When the time comes, there will be so many people chasing me. I'll have to pick and choose carefully. I can't make another wrong choice."
Lu Yan's face got darker and colder.
So, being with him was a wrong choice.
"What, did I say something wrong?" Just as Nie Anmiao finished speaking, she looked up and noticed Lu Yan's ugly expression. She suddenly felt a bit guilty. "Also, why are you asking this? Our bodies haven't switched back yet, and you're already thinking about all these things."
Lu Yan neither admitted nor denied it.
He just said calmly, "I just wanted to know how much you hate me, so much that you can't wait to divorce me and be with another man."
"Now I know. It's a lot."
Nie Anmiao was taken aback. She always felt that Lu Yan seemed like a different person today. "Are you on the wrong medication today?"
First, he asked if she liked Lin Chuluo, and then he asked how much she hated him.
Wasn't Lu Yan supposed to be a robot? Where did all these sentimental emotions come from!
"However, even if I had to choose again, I wouldn't choose Lin Chuluo." Nie Anmiao thought about the original question and answered in a low voice. "Lin Chuluo is only suitable to be a friend, not a lover."
"I always feel that he's very calculating. It was hard to guess what he was thinking even when we were in school. He always smiles at everyone. I think such a person is really scary."
Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile and lower his head. "What about me? I always look serious with everyone. Am I even scarier?"
Come to think of it, it did seem to make sense.
"But I just like you this way."
