After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: How to be more clingy?

Song Sinian slowly raised his hand and touched her delicate face.

But he didn’t dare to ask the question, “Are you in a bad mood?”

Song Sinian knew that if Lu Zhaozhao nodded in response to this question, it would definitely be his fault.

It was him acting recklessly, not considering her feelings.

She would hate him.

“Mr. Song.” Lu Zhaozhao reached out and grabbed the hand he had raised, pulling it down.@@novelbin@@

Song Sinian’s heart sank immediately; she must be angry, right?

His eyelids drooped slightly, still meeting her clear eyes.

What was she going to say next?

To ask him not to touch her ever again?

To say she hated him, or… that she didn’t want to see him anymore?

His heart felt as if it had been suddenly pricked by a needle, pain stabbing him repeatedly.

He didn’t like this feeling of being out of control; did he really need to chain her up to keep her from running away?

Suddenly, the palm of his hand warmed. Song Sinian looked up instinctively, just in time to see Lu Zhaozhao pressing his hand against her lower back.

“When you want to be close, you have to hold me tight,” she said, pulling his other hand to rest it there as well.

Having done this, Lu Zhaozhao smiled at him and blinked, “Alright, let’s continue~”

“…”

Song Sinian stared at Lu Zhaozhao for a few seconds, then rested his forehead on her shoulder, his voice muffled as it came from the nape of her neck, “Ha… you…”

The breath from his nose gently brushed against her neck, the foul mood that had upset him completely vanishing.

Song Sinian’s hands crossed over Lu Zhaozhao’s lower back, his large hands gently pinching her waist. Her petite figure seemed so fragile as if it would break with just a bit more force.

Yet it was this petite person who could stir the stagnant waters of his life.

What should he do?

What should he do with her…

“Ding—”

The tranquility of the room was suddenly pierced by the ring of a cell phone.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes blinked as she glanced at Song Sinian, who was leaning on her shoulder, then at the cellphone by her hand.

She stealthily reached for it, glanced at the screen, and saw the message.

It was from the Lu Family.

Her eyebrows lifted slightly in puzzlement before she unlocked her phone.

The Lu Family had already obtained tremendous benefits from Song Sinian and were too busy being happy lately; why would they bother with her?

But when she opened the message, Lu Zhaozhao’s expression instantly darkened.

[Zhaozhao, you haven’t stayed home since marrying President Song, and Mom really misses you. Why not come stay with us for a few days?]

A few days?

Lu Zhaozhao silently curled her lips in a mocking sneer. They saw her as too valuable to be used just once, so they probably wanted to take advantage of her return to gain some leverage over her.

The Lu Family was shameless; she knew that but didn’t expect them to stoop to this level.

Lu Zhaozhao tapped her phone a few times and sent a decisive message back.

“[Husband too clingy, no time.]”

She didn’t know that, just when she sent this message, Song Sinian’s gaze had happened to catch it.

His eyebrows slightly lifted, and it was the first time he thought “clingy” was a good word.

But how could he be even more clingy?

Meanwhile, at the Lu Family.

Seeing the message Lu Zhaozhao had replied with on her phone, Cao Mei almost threw her phone out.

But since there were other people at home, she could only sit on the sofa, forcing her expression to remain calm.

“How is it? Is Zhaozhao coming back?” Xiao Jinglan picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a light sip before setting down the teacup.

Her slim eyebrows slightly fell, bringing a hint of a smile as she looked at Cao Mei.

From her expression, it was evident that Lu Zhaozhao had nothing good to say, and it seemed she wouldn’t be returning to the Lu Family.

The last time she had been at the Lu Family, she had subtly suggested that they keep some leverage in their hands.

First, it was to please Mr. and Mrs. Lu, and second, it was to control Lu Zhaozhao in the future.

It wasn’t easy to control someone who could speak frankly with Song Sinian.

She had never succeeded in all these years, so she held some expectations for Lu Zhaozhao.

But looking at Mr. and Mrs. Lu, she knew their plans had not succeeded either.

Cao Mei tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Zhaozhao said President Song is clinging to her too much, not letting her come back, saying they’ll talk after their honeymoon period is over…”

Although she was reluctant, instead of forcibly making Lu Zhaozhao come back and raising Song Sinian’s suspicions, it was better to wait.

Xiao Jinglan chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned as she put down her teacup, “Mrs. Lu, I won’t beat around the bush, I’m here to discuss a cooperation with you today.”

Cao Mei’s eyebrows slightly lifted as she outright refused, “The business matters are all decided by Old Lu, discussing them with me is pointless.”

Xiao Jinglan, hearing this, was not angry.

“It’s okay, Mrs. Lu, just listen for fun, I’m just casually chatting.”

Her eyes always carried a smile, making it hard for Cao Mei to keep refusing.

So, all she could do was nod faintly, complying, “Alright, then we’ll just chat casually.”

Whatever Xiao Jinglan would say later, she would let it in one ear and out the other.

Xiao Jinglan’s eyes narrowed slightly, seeming to have anticipated Cao Mei’s actions.

But she wasn’t panicked, instead, she slowly started speaking, “My visit this time is mainly for the auction of the Jade Vein, I heard that Lu Family is keen on acquiring Veins no. 1 and no. 3.”

Cao Mei’s polite smile instantly tightened, as she watched Xiao Jinglan with caution, but said nothing.

Previously, Song Sinian had clearly let Lu Zhaozhao tell them that Song Group would not participate in the auction for Veins no. 1 and no. 3. Could it be that Xiao Jinglan was here to renege on their agreement?

Cao Mei’s eyebrows furrowed, sizing her up with her gaze before slowly speaking, “President Song personally promised this, why? Has Lady Xiao come to break the agreement?”

Xiao Jinglan waved her hands repeatedly, “No, no, no, as I said, it’s a cooperation.”

Now Cao Mei’s confusion deepened, “A cooperation? With Song Group?”

She did not understand what Xiao Jinglan was up to, remaining vigilant.

“Don’t be so defensive, Mrs. Lu, I’m not here on behalf of Song Group, but personally… more precisely, a few internal shareholders of Song Family who want to collaborate with Mrs. Lu.”

Veins no. 1 and no. 3 were hot properties, and Song Sinian, for a smile from his lady, had readily let them go.

He even threatened all the board members with resigning as the CEO, so the board members eager for those veins had to seek her help.

She had been worrying about ways to win them over, but Song Sinian had personally delivered them into her hands.

Once she had nailed the deal with the Lu Family regarding Veins no. 1 and no. 3, wouldn’t those board members readily stand by her side?
