She was extrely bored with her life.

Sotis, even Little Buding couldn’t stand it and would complain.

"You don’t live like a normal person at all. With all that money and all that ti, why not go out and have fun?"

"Isn’t it because you haven’t taken a vacation in a long ti?"

The sudden question left Little Buding stunned.

His silence was his answer.

Yes, he hadn’t taken a vacation in a long ti.

How long? Ever since he started working, perhaps.

Unlike others, he didn’t have the privilege to request ti off. He could only stay in this confined space and watch over Jiang Lai every day.

"Why are you asking this?"

"I’m not like you. I’ve been living outside for too long. To be honest, it’s aningless.

I’ve left footprints in every corner of this world. I’ve seen centennial volcanic eruptions seven or eight tis. It’s aningless."

So Jiang Lai had no interest in survival at all.

Even if she died in the next second, she wouldn’t have any reaction.

The first person to notice Jiang Lai’s oddity wasn’t Cai Xian, but Lu Zhixing.

He was always busy, but whenever he had free ti, he would voluntarily co to accompany Jiang Lai. From ti to ti, he would take the whole family on trips, arranging everything perfectly without any flaws during the journey.

Living with him, Jiang Lai for the first ti experienced what it ant to be a happy little slacker. All she had to do every day was eat, drink, and have fun, leaving everything else to him.

At the age of thirty-five, Lu Zhixing still wasn’t married.

Even Luo Susa and Lu Tingshen, who initially had no demands regarding his marriage, beca sowhat anxious.

After all, the huge family business was right there.

Jiang Lai made it clear she wouldn’t marry or have children. The family didn’t want to force her, so the pressure was shifted onto Lu Zhixing.

If it were an ordinary family, it might be different, but the Lu Family’s wealth was significant. There might be no throne, but such imnse fortune still needed soone to inherit it.

So Lu Zhixing started going on blind dates.

Even if he was the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company, he had to go on blind dates.

The ones sitting in front of him were all famous heiresses and socialites from across the country, each with outstanding temperant and perfect looks.

Unfortunately, the blind dates continued from when he was thirty-five to thirty-seven without any progress.

Many of the girls he dated expressed their willingness to marry, but in the end, Lu Zhixing always had an excuse to refuse the marriage.

Whether it was incompatible fate, emotions, or personality weren’t right — in the end, he would directly say, "She’s not the type my sister likes."

People said Lu Zhixing was an asexual; his perfectionism led him to like only himself and no one else. To cope with family pressure, he even used his sister as an excuse.

Of course, Jiang Lai didn’t mind. Whether Lu Zhixing got married or not had nothing to do with her, as long as his wife didn’t interfere with her spending.

This worried Luo Susa greatly.

She even took Lu Zhixing to see a psychologist. A month later, the doctor told her, "Your son’s ntality is stronger than mine; he doesn’t need to see a psychologist."

"Son, why don’t you want to get married? Isn’t reproduction instinctive for n? You don’t fancy even one of those good girls?"

Luo Susa started again.

At the dining table, the maid was cleaning up, while Jiang Lai sat by watching the scene.

Lu Zhixing shook his head.

"Not liking soone doesn’t an I should deceive them. Children from a marriage without love are not happy either.

Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to manage the company in the future. It won’t be without a successor."

"You won’t have children, and Jiang Lai won’t either. So who will inherit our company?"

Luo Susa was conservative in this aspect. After all, the business was a family one. If Lu Zhixing aged and couldn’t manage, predators would certainly take interest.

Jiang Lai laughed beside her.

"Mom, if you’re really keen on having a child, why don’t you and Dad make so effort? After all, you’re not too old now; you could raise one as an heir for my brother."

"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking? How old am I? Besides, if I really had another child, you two would end up as the parents, burdened for nothing."

At this ti, Lu Zhixing glanced at Jiang Lai and said.

"I can do it, anyway, since neither my sister nor I want children. If you like kids, just go for it."

Before Luo Susa could respond, Lu Zhixing grabbed Jiang Lai’s arm.

"Co, let’s go find sothing delicious to eat."

"Okay."

Luo Susa watched this scene from behind, frowning and sighing intensely.

When Lu Tingshen returned ho, she told her husband about today’s events, her face full of anxiety.

"Those two kids even suggested we have another one. It’s exasperating."

"Do you want one? If you do, let’s have one. Didn’t our health checkup doctor say our physical age was only around forty?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Having children at such an age is embarrassing enough as it is!"

"Besides, I always feel Zhixing’s attitude towards Jiang Lai isn’t right... Do you think he still rembers things from his childhood?"

Lu Tingshen could only sigh helplessly.

"He was only two years old when his parents passed away. How could he rember anything? Stop overthinking it. If siblings don’t get along, you worry; if they get along too well, you also worry. You’re destined to worry in this life."

Luo Susa nodded.

"You’re probably right. I think I’m overthinking it. How young was he back then."

anwhile.

At a seaside bar, Lu Zhixing personally mixed a drink for Jiang Lai and slid it to her on the table.

Looking at the moon over the sea, he wore a smile on the corner of his lips.

Jiang Lai looked at him.

"What’s making you so happy?"

Lu Zhixing looked back at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"I just think, living life like this isn’t bad at all."

From his eyes, Jiang Lai saw sothing familiar.

She snapped back to reality, shifted her gaze, sipped her drink, and didn’t pursue it.

Then let life go on like this.

Years later, Luo Susa, Lu Tingshen, and Cai Xian passed away one after another.

A few more years passed, and Lu Zhixing beca gravely ill, with a terminal disease, and had little ti left.

Before he left, Jiang Lai quietly stayed by his bedside, watching over him.

Her mind still held his youthful image.

"Jiang Lai, I want to tell you sothing."

Jiang Lai calmly looked at him, listening as he continued.

"From the first mont I saw you, I thought you seed familiar. I assud it was a familial feeling.

But I’ve always known that you and I are not related by blood; this feeling has nothing to do with kinship.

I didn’t dare tell you, nor anyone, because there’s no relationship closer than siblings who never marry each other.

Jiang Lai... I like you."

"I know."

Jiang Lai’s tone was calm, her eyes lightly eting his.

"I’ve always known."

After saying this, Lu Zhixing gazed deeply at her, filled with reluctance and nostalgia, and closed his eyes.

Jiang Lai was left without family in this world.

The world remained boring, but she suddenly couldn’t stand it any longer.

So she chose a clear and sunny day to end her life with a bottle of pills.

"Task completed, congratulations to the host, entering task countdown."
