After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Mr. Song, why aren’t you asking me anymore?

Her lips pursed, clearly hesitating, “But… Mr. Song has been very nice to me…”@@novelbin@@

She wavered.

Cao Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, “You silly girl, Sinian’s interest in you is just a whim, who knows when he will get tired of it? In the end, all you can rely on is your own family, understand?”

Lu Zhaozhao pretended to be obedient and nodded, “Then… what should I do?”

A triumphant smile crossed Cao Mei’s eyes, and she lifted her hand to pat Lu Zhaozhao’s hand, “I have already thought it through for you, you just need to convince Sinian to cooperate with our Lu Family.”

Cooperation?

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows knitted together, if she remembered correctly, in her previous life at this time, both the Lu Family and the Song Family were bidding for several jade mines in Country M.

But the Lu Family, having tied up most of their funds in overseas orders, couldn’t afford to bid for the jade mines with their working capital.

Thus they had proposed to collaborate with the Song Family on that batch of overseas orders, which was essentially getting the Song Family to invest in the Lu Family to share the risks.

At that time, since Sinian had agreed to the collaboration, Lu Dagui had specifically taken her to the jade mine auction.

There were eight jade mines being auctioned, among which Mine No.1 and Mine No.3 were the most hotly contested, reaching sky-high prices.

That year, Lu Dagui, failing to acquire those two mines, had thrown a huge fit upon returning to the Lu Family.

However, no one expected that the two jade mines that the Song Group bought would both turn out to be disastrous investments, while the overlooked Mine No.8 yielded Emperor Purple Jade, causing a sensation.

Thinking about this, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but frown.

Cao Mei, thinking Lu Zhaozhao didn’t know how to persuade Sinian, continued to incite, “Zhaozhao, don’t worry, you’re newlyweds. Just put on the dress I’ve prepared for you, act a bit coquettish, and he might just agree.”

Lu Zhaozhao tugged at the corner of her mouth, Cao Mei truly saw Sinian as a lust-driven ghost.

In her previous life, she indeed convinced Sinian to invest in the Lu Family, but that batch of overseas orders encountered a typhoon, resulting in heavy losses.

Because of the Song Family’s investment, the Lu Family only bore half the loss, thus still had some breathing space.

However, because the continuous losses related to the Lu Family, rumors spread outside, claiming she was a jinx reincarnated.

As a result, she was also deeply alienated by the Song Family.

This life, she would not let such things happen to her again!

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and when she looked at Cao Mei again, her expression had turned into a smile, “I’ll ask him tonight and will definitely do my best to get Mr. Song to help.”

At those words, Cao Mei’s face brightened with a smile, repeatedly praising, “You are truly my good daughter, then I’ll wait for your good news!”

“…”

When Lu Zhaozhao returned to the Song Family’s residence, it was already afternoon.

To her surprise, Sinian was actually at home.

Seeing her enter, Sinian waved at the others, and Qian Hong and the rest astutely left.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at him in slight astonishment, “Why did you come back so early today?”

She sat down next to Sinian on the sofa, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Sinian’s dark eyes blinked, “I was waiting for you.”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows rose, her gaze sweeping across Sinian’s perpetually handsome face.

Was he worried about her?

Sinian watched Lu Zhaozhao without speaking, then slowly said, “Do you need a hug, a pat, or a kiss?”

He looked at her with all seriousness, his expression as simple as if he were waiting for her to place an order.

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly found this side of Song Sinian a bit cute.

He indeed couldn’t accurately express his emotions, but he was always trying in his own way.

She suddenly smiled, her eyes curving, and her small hands reached out directly towards Song Sinian, saying, “I think I need a hug right now.”

Song Sinian didn’t ask why, he just did as she said and hugged her.

The fragrant, soft person in his arms gave him a sense of steadiness.

He couldn’t understand the emotions on her face and couldn’t empathize, so all he could do now was give her what she wanted.

Whatever she asked for, he was willing to satisfy her.

Lu Zhaozhao wriggled in Song Sinian’s embrace and, tilting her little head, suddenly asked him, “Mr. Song, why don’t you ask me why?”

“Hmm?” Song Sinian’s brows slightly raised, seemingly unclear about what Lu Zhaozhao meant.

Lu Zhaozhao’s sparkling eyes blinked, and her small hand lifted to pinch Song Sinian’s cheek, asking with a look of deep grievance, “Are you upset?”

“…”

With Lu Zhaozhao pinching his cheek, his usually expressionless handsome face took on a cuter appearance.

She now suddenly understood why Song Sinian loved pinching her face so much.

Lu Zhaozhao’s small hands freely pinched his face for a while before Song Sinian slowly opened his mouth, “Are you upset?”

Lu Zhaozhao nodded, “I am indeed a bit upset.”

“What can I do to help you?” Song Sinian looked at her with calm eyes, his tone the same as usual, showing no emotion.

If it had been her previous life, Lu Zhaozhao might not have dared to say a word.

But now things were different.

She knew his placid emotion was filled with indulgence towards her.

Her small hand slowly released Song Sinian’s cheek, “I’ve changed my mind, I hope you can provide some money to help the Lu Family.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Lu Zhaozhao spoke, Song Sinian agreed.

He didn’t even hesitate.

Lu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, tilting her little head as she looked at Song Sinian, and said word by word, “Won’t you ask me why I want to help the Lu Family?”

Song Sinian reached out to gently smooth her hair, “If you want to tell me, I’d love to listen.”

His voice was gentle, yet the tone made one feel warm.

“…”

Indeed, no matter if it was her previous life or this one, Song Sinian had always helped her unconditionally.

Her small hands slowly circled Song Sinian’s waist, “I went back to the Lu Family today, and they hope I can convince you to invest in the Lu Family. That way, they can use the liquid funds to bid for this jade mine.”

“Hmm.” Song Sinian’s hand gently caressed her little head, quietly listening to her account of what happened at the Lu Family.

The room was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind and their breathing.

Rarely did Lu Zhaozhao willingly bring up the Lu Family’s matters, and he was happy to listen quietly by her side.

Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, speaking very solemnly, “So I hope you can agree to two things…”
