After Escaping My Paranoid Wife's Control - Chapter 15

At this moment, Shen Lanxi stood up. She first stretched. “It’s lunch break.”

Then she looked over at Ji Mingsui, who was right next to her, and asked with a smile, “Sister Mingsui, do you want to go out and grab lunch together?”

Hearing this, Song Yu could not help but prick up her ears.

Ji Mingsui nodded with a smile. “Sure.”

She then suggested, “A new rice noodle shop just opened in the food plaza on the next street. I heard it’s quite delicious.”

“Do you want to go give it a try?”

Shen Lanxi nodded. “I do.”

Listening to the conversation between Ji Mingsui and Shen Lanxi, and seeing how warm and friendly Ji Mingsui was being with her, a wave of discomfort washed over Song Yu’s heart.

Of course she would feel uncomfortable.

She loved Ji Mingsui.

She had already realized this right before she died in her previous life. At that time, when she called Ji Mingsui, the final words of her last testament that she hadn’t managed to finish saying were actually—”Ji Mingsui, I…”

“—…love you.”

After being reborn, she had felt that the whole experience of living life over again was very novel, so she had spent all her time just trying to adapt to this new life.

Furthermore, because she was in such a rush to break free from Ji Mingsui’s control, she had temporarily forgotten to sort out the relationship between herself and Ji Mingsui. Consequently, she had spent the entire morning stubbornly talking back.

However, that sentence she had most wanted to say to Ji Mingsui before her death was “Ji Mingsui, I love you.”

Add to that the fact that the moment she smelled the citrus scent on Ji Mingsui, her body would reflexively grow restless.

And then there was that nightmare from earlier, which had been a tangled mess of a beautiful dream and a wet dream.

Moreover, ever since her rebirth, every time Ji Mingsui looked at her with those polite yet distant eyes, she would feel a sense of loss.

And whenever she saw Ji Mingsui getting close to someone else, her heart would feel extremely uncomfortable…

All of these things, among many others, proved that she loved Ji Mingsui.

What’s more, her love for Ji Mingsui was not just physical; it was spiritual.

Every time she recalled their daily life together from her previous life, although she had felt incredibly impatient with Ji Mingsui’s forceful control, she had also found Ji Mingsui’s attentive care to be extraordinarily sweet.

Thinking up to this point, Song Yu let out a soft sigh.

Sigh.

Even if she loved Ji Mingsui any more, it was useless.

Ji Mingsui’s desire for control was simply too strong; it suffocated her.

Besides, Ji Mingsui was deeply scheming and skilled at using tactical maneuvers. Having fought against Ji Mingsui for ten years, she had suffered a crushing defeat every single time.

Other people would fall into a pit and gain wisdom.

As for her, she fell into a pit, fell into a pit, and fell into a pit over Ji Mingsui… until she was completely stuffed full of defeats.

Having received a second chance at life, she most likely still wouldn’t be a match for Ji Mingsui.

Besides, just as Ji Mingsui had said, she was truly too starved for Ji Mingsui. she couldn’t bear to kiss Ji Mingsui a single time less, and she couldn’t manage to sleep a single night without holding her.

Therefore, even though she had already realized that she had fallen in love with Ji Mingsui, she still decided that in this lifetime, she would stay far, far away from her. She would hide her love for Ji Mingsui in her heart and never get entangled with her again.

Ji Mingsui stood up and took the initiative to say to Shen Lanxi, “Lanxi, let’s go then.”

“After we eat, I also want to go to the supermarket to buy some things.”

“I’m afraid we won’t have enough time.”

Having said that, Ji Mingsui lifted her feet and walked out the door.

“Okay, Sister Mingsui,” Shen Lanxi replied, grabbing her bag and following closely behind.

Watching the view of Ji Mingsui and Shen Lanxi leaving together, Song Yu kept a straight face while mocking them sarcastically in her mind: Lan~xi, let’s~ go~ then~

O~kay, Sister~ Ming~sui~

Just then, Ying Man asked, “What are the two of us going to eat?”

Song Yu answered with a cold voice and a frown, “As long as it’s not rice noodles.”

Since she had already decided to stay away from Ji Mingsui in this lifetime, then whomever Ji Mingsui was close with or whomever she dated had nothing to do with her anyway.

Out of sight, out of mind.

The rice noodle shop was located in the food plaza on the next street, a five-minute walk from the office building.

Since it was currently the lunch break, the food plaza was packed with people who had come to eat.

Ji Mingsui arranged the plan, “Lanxi, go secure a table.”

“I’ll go order the food.”

“I’ll send you a picture of the menu in a bit. Take a look at it, and text me directly to let me know what you want to eat.”

Shen Lanxi nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

After finding a table, Shen Lanxi sat on a stool. Watching Ji Mingsui’s back as she hurried off to order food, she smiled and blinked her eyes.

When she first arrived at the company, she had thought Ji Mingsui possessed a gentle disposition. However, after spending time together, she discovered that Ji Mingsui was only gentle on the surface. In reality, Ji Mingsui was quite assertive and very strong-willed.

At that moment, Shen Lanxi received the menu sent by Ji Mingsui.

Ji Mingsui: Which one do you want?

Shen Lanxi: Tomato rice noodles.

Shen Lanxi: Cute_Cat_Head.jpg

Upon receiving the reply, Ji Mingsui looked at the cute expression package Shen Lanxi had sent her and frowned slightly.

This Shen Lanxi was simply too proactive.

Fortunately, she had struck first to gain the upper hand and had intervened a bit. Otherwise, the one receiving Shen Lanxi’s cute expression packages right now would have been Song Yu.

Five minutes later, Ji Mingsui returned to the table carrying a food tray.

She placed the tomato rice noodles in front of Shen Lanxi. “Eat up.”

Then, she placed the other bowl of seafood rice noodles in front of herself.

Shen Lanxi picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the rice noodles, and proactively started a conversation. “Sister Mingsui, what do you need to buy at the supermarket later?”

Ji Mingsui replied, “Body wash.”

“Citrus scented.”

“I need to buy a few more bottles.”

And then starve Song Yu of it.

She wanted to let Song Yu experience the sheer power of biological attraction.

This morning in the office building’s elevator, the moment she confirmed that Song Yu had also been reborn just like her, she had guessed that Song Yu would definitely try every possible means to stay away from her and exhaust all efforts to escape her control in this lifetime.

Sure enough, the very first thing Song Yu did after being reborn was to try and fire her.

She loved Song Yu, so she naturally wouldn’t let Song Yu have her way.

From the moment she set her heart on Song Yu, Song Yu could never escape the palm of her hand again. Whether it was death or rebirth, whether it was the previous life or this life, Song Yu could only belong to her.

Of course, she would also only belong to Song Yu.

In their previous life, in order to make it so Song Yu could never leave her, the strategy she implemented on Song Yu was to conquer the body first, then conquer the heart—first making Song Yu unable to stop wanting her physically, and then making it impossible for Song Yu to part with her spiritually.

As it turned out, she had only finished conquering Song Yu’s body in their previous life. She had barely managed to conquer half of Song Yu’s heart when Song Yu passed away in a car accident.

Fortunately, the heavens had given her a chance to live life over again.

Back when she didn’t know that Song Yu had also been reborn, the strategy she had formulated for Song Yu in this lifetime was still to conquer the body first, then conquer the heart.

But after finding out that Song Yu had been reborn just like her, she was so happy she almost laughed out loud.

She had already completely conquered Song Yu’s body in their previous life. That was exactly why Song Yu had starved for her like a dog after smelling the citrus scent on her body this morning, downing one cup of ice water after another.

Before her fatal car accident, Song Yu had been throwing a tantrum and had starved her for several days.

This starvation had been mutual.

While starving her, Song Yu must have also been holding it in until she was absolutely miserable.

She calculated the days and realized that Song Yu was fast approaching her breaking point. That was why Song Yu’s reaction to her this morning had been so extreme.

She believed that if Ying Man and Shen Lanxi hadn’t been watching from the side this morning, then with just a little bit of teasing from her, Song Yu definitely wouldn’t have been able to endure it and would have pounced straight onto her.

Therefore, with the groundwork laid from their previous life, she only needed to conquer the remaining half of Song Yu’s heart in this lifetime.

Ji Mingsui pursed her lips.

In their previous life, Song Yu always claimed that she didn’t love her.

Yet, judging by the way Song Yu usually behaved whenever they were together, it was obvious that she had already fallen in love with her.

It was just like the words she had used to refute Song Yu before…”If you don’t love me, why would you mess around with me for 5 hours a night?”

“If you don’t love me, why do you wait for me to get off work every single day?”

“If you don’t love me, why do you get jealous the moment someone else gives me a gift?”

“If you don’t love me, why is it that every time you get angry, I can coax you out of it right away?”

“If you don’t love me, why did you keep murmuring my name while you were unconscious with a high fever…”

However, she also admitted that she had been a bit too hasty in their previous life.

In their previous life, she had been the one to confess her love first and the one to pursue Song Yu first. Because of this, after they got together, Song Yu had relied on her love to behave so utterly without fear.

In this lifetime, she had to change her approach. She needed to find a way to make Song Yu give up that little bit of insistence on freedom, ensuring that Song Yu would be the one to confess her love first and pursue her first.

As long as she could play the part of loving Song Yu a little less in this lifetime and refrain from giving Song Yu such a strong sense of security, then under the weight of fearing gains and losses, Song Yu would definitely follow her every word obediently. She would never dare to make a fuss about leaving her ever again.

And in this lifetime, just like in their previous life, she would work hard to make money to provide Song Yu with the most luxurious and affluent lifestyle, pampering Song Yu like an ancestor.

Just as she had said before, she could give Song Yu absolutely anything except for her freedom.

She could even give Song Yu her very life.
