Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over

Chapter 112: In Front of Zhang Ziqin…

“Clean up, I’ll wait for you!” Walking out the door with a smile, Lu Li fiercely kissed You Meng on the lips. Zhang Ziqin, even in her dying moments, proved to be somewhat useful.

You Meng was stunned. Aside from their initial encounter, when she caught him off guard with a sudden attack, there had never been a time when her Lu Brother had kissed her like this.

Their relationship was unique; Lu Li had feelings for her but also held reservations. Despite what they had done together, You Meng could feel a distance between them.

She felt like a doll placed in a display window, taken out by Lu Brother when he needed her and left aside when he didn’t.

But even so, You Meng was satisfied. Even if he only liked her body, even if she was only seen as a playmate, at least she could still be by Lu Brother’s side.

This kiss left You Meng frozen; it wasn’t something that belonged between her and Lu Brother!

Unspeakable joy surged in her heart, her heart racing with excitement.

Despite her longing to rise in status, all she really wanted was for Lu Brother to truly do something with her. If Lu Brother liked her body, she’d take it as love.

But now, this kiss was a symbol of affection, meant for lovers.

The surprise, so sudden, left You Meng momentarily speechless, her pretty face looking foolish as she stared at Lu Li.

“What’s wrong, aren’t you going?” Lu Li blinked, his tone much gentler than before: “If there’s a problem, we can talk when you return. First, help me tie up some loose ends!”

“Yes, Master Brother, I’ll go right now.” The excitement was evident on her face. Although she didn’t understand what happened, Lu Brother was in a good mood, which meant her chance had come.

Could today, in this desolate place, mark a real breakthrough between them?

Lu Li’s lips curved into a smile, watching You Meng’s departing figure. Despite his lingering resentment towards You Meng for once aiding Ye Chen, he was no longer as conflicted as before.

In the previous life, it was Ye Chen who killed him, not this little girl, You Meng. This was indeed good news.

Lu Li had initially thought his previous life ended by You Meng’s hand without recognizing him. How unexpected! He had successfully changed the story.

Though the changes hadn’t altered his intent to kill Lu Ya and Zhang Ziqin, knowing they avenged him after his death wouldn’t change his stance towards them: they must die.

But things with You Meng, the little girl, could be put to rest.

She hadn’t killed him or wronged him in any way.

What a wonderful day!

But he wondered if You Meng was also reborn?

Rubbing his chin, considering Zhang Ziqin’s revelation of being reborn, Lu Li naturally thought along those lines.

He and this life were indeed different. Knowing Zhang Ziqin was reborn made him ponder the possibility of others, like You Meng, Cao Yingying, even Chen Ya or Lu Ya being reborn as well!

Chen Xiaoyi could be ruled out. She was the first woman he met, living a miserable life, easily flustered by scammers — definitely not reborn.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so naive.

Even with memories from a previous life, she wouldn’t be afraid of a few elders.

“Forget it, why worry? If they’re reborn, so be it. All I need to know is their feelings for me.” Stretching, Lu Li was content with his lot.

Venturing down dead ends isn’t what wise men do.

The feelings of Cao Yingying, Chen Xiaoyi, and You Meng for him were clear, and he enjoyed their affection. Why trouble himself unnecessarily?

His job was to eliminate all other enemies and secure his happiness.

Right, that’s it.

Leaning against his car, Lu Li looked up at the stars, his mind exceptionally clear. The two biggest knots in his heart had been untangled by his own hands, clearing the negative emotions. Only Ye Chen remained.

He felt refreshed.

About ten minutes later, You Meng returned, looking timidly at Lu Li. She was still a bit dazed, doubting whether the kiss earlier was a hallucination.

“Master Brother, I’ve taken care of it, leaving no trace.” A faint blush appeared on her face as You Meng fiddled with the hem of her dress, standing in front of Lu Li.

“Hmm… Did you wear the black or white stockings I like under your clothes?” Lu Li stroked his chin, pondering a celebration for the good news.

“I did… wear them.” You Meng’s charming face flushed with shyness, nodding. She always wore them, knowing Lu Brother liked them.

“Good, I’ll claim them later, and your lips too… Let’s leave that for another day. I want to keep them for kissing.” Opening the car door, he gestured for You Meng to come in.

The warm and hearty smile momentarily overwhelmed You Meng, causing her to pinch herself hard.

Ouch, it hurt, not a dream!

Lu Brother truly intended to kiss her, and it was real before. How happy she was!

The thought of sharing mutual affection with Lu Brother was something You Meng had long desired!

She was about to rise in status, Lu Brother had feelings for her. Unexpectedly, even after Zhang Ziqin’s death, there were benefits. That detestable green tea deserved her fate.

With a radiant smile, unable to hide her joy, You Meng wished Zhang Ziqin could come back to life so she could bury her a few more times, perhaps uncovering more unexpected gains!

“What are you dawdling for? I said I’d claim some things from you, so get in already.” Lu Li rolled down the window, beckoning to You Meng.

With no more reservations in his heart, some matters naturally resolved themselves. Today was a good day, and You Meng was his feast.

Still, it was a pity; thinking back, he felt letting Zhang Ziqin die so easily was too kind!

He truly was a devilish man!
