Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: A Bleeding Heart

Li Zhe had thought that Shen Nian would surely be thrilled to hear she had achieved such an incredible score and become the provincial top scorer.

But in the end, aside from her initial surprise, Shen Nian’s expression had gradually started to darken.

Seeing Shen Nian’s expression sour, Li Zhe began to feel nervous as well.

’Did I say something wrong? But... it was all good news! Anyone who became the provincial top scorer would be ecstatic, right?’

’She really is Young Master Lu’s wife. So different from everyone else, even in this regard!’

’No, no, what am I thinking? I should be worried that if Shen Nian is unhappy, Young Master Lu might blame me, shouldn’t I?’

"Go make the arrangements."

"Yes, Young Master Lu. I’ll get right on it."

With that, Li Zhe quickly exited the reception room. Lu Cheng’s voice, which had been a source of immense pressure just moments before, now sounded like music to his ears.

After Li Zhe left, Lu Cheng took hold of Shen Nian’s shoulders and gently turned her to face him.

"Don’t worry. Your score will always be yours. No one can take it away."

Lu Cheng had, of course, noticed the change in Shen Nian’s expression. Knowing what had happened with her family earlier, he could roughly guess what was on her mind.

What Lu Cheng didn’t know, however, was that in her previous life, such a thing had truly and surely happened.

Lu Cheng’s voice, sounding by her ear, instantly soothed Shen Nian’s restless heart.

’My past life is over. I’ve been reborn. I have a chance to do everything over again!’

’And this time, I won’t let Qin Xueling take a single thing that belongs to me!’

’So Qin Xueling wants to steal my score? Steal my title as the provincial top scorer? Fine! I’ll let everyone watch as I, Shen Nian, claim the honor of top scorer in the province with my head held high!’

"Yes, I’m not worried."

’See? Not only did I foresee all of this, but I also have Lu Cheng by my side. What is there to be afraid of?’

Li Zhe hadn’t been exaggerating. With the director himself on the case, a replacement for the already-existing score report was quickly delivered into Shen Nian’s hands.

"Mrs. Lu, please rest assured. This score report is identical to the one that was destroyed and will not affect the delivery of your university acceptance letter. As for the student who stole your report, we will punish them severely. This kind of behavior absolutely will not be tolerated!"

"Thank you, Director Li. I appreciate all your hard work."

"Not at all, not at all!"

Li Zhe waved his hands dismissively. ’It was nothing, really, just a matter of giving a few orders. How could that be called hard work? Besides,’ he thought, ’Young Master Lu is standing right there watching. Even if it had been difficult, I couldn’t possibly take credit for it!’

"Now that you have the score report, Xiao Nian, we should head home."

"Okay, let’s go. Director, thank you. We’ll be taking our leave now."

"Of course. Wait, you’re leaving already?"

Li Zhe nodded out of reflex, only realizing what he’d just heard after his head was already bobbing.

’How could they be leaving already! I finally got to meet the legendary Young Master Lu, and I still had so many things I’d prepared to say!’

"Is there something else, Director Li?"

Something else? Of course there was something else! But one look at Lu Cheng, and all the things he wanted to discuss were suddenly stuck in his throat.

’Can’t he see Young Master Lu wants to take his wife home? If I stop them from leaving, what if I offend him?’
