Xie Qi followed Lu Chiyan down the stairs and easily passed through the barrier that Lu Bu couldn't get through.

When Ruble saw this, he walked forward with a look of suspicion on his face and reached out to touch the seemingly empty air.

However, to his surprise, the once indestructible barrier actually disappeared without a trace!

But as a professional butler, Ruble quickly adjusted his state and stopped worrying about what it was. Instead, he decisively dismissed everyone in the room and immediately ordered his men to start preparing a sumptuous lunch for the head of the family.

While waiting for lunch, Lu Chiyan and Xie Qi snuggled up on the comfortable sofa, enjoying their rare leisure time.

Lu Chiyan leaned on Xie Qi's shoulder, as if he wanted to tell him everything that had happened over the years.

Xie Qi was also eager to learn about Lu Chiyan's experiences over the years, especially why he was able to come to this world with his memories.

He held Lu Chiyan's hand tightly, his eyes revealing endless concern and worry. And from Lu Chiyan's words, Xie Qi finally understood everything.

It turns out that Lu Chiyan has been in this world for five years. After committing suicide at the end of the world, Lu Ze woke up and became Lu Chiyan.

Xie Qi's death had already made him lose all hope of living. Lu Ze didn't understand why he could wake up and become a different person.

For him, this kind of rebirth is nothing more than continuing to endure pain in another world. However, when he was about to end his life again, he unexpectedly saw the original owner Xie Lan.

The face that looked exactly like Xie Qi's made Lu Ze mistakenly believe that Xie Qi had also been reborn into this world. But soon, he discovered to his despair that Xie Lan was not the person he expected.

The glimmer of hope that had just ignited was instantly shattered, plunging him into deeper despair.

Then, when Lu Ze saw Shen Yanze's face that was similar to his own, he began to wonder if this world was another parallel universe where there were two people who looked exactly like them.

This speculation made him feel an inexplicable emotion, a mixture of curiosity and fear. So Lu Ze, who had originally wanted to commit suicide, gave up the idea.

Later, when he saw Xie Lan and Shen Yanze walking very close, he was still comforting himself by saying that it was also nice to watch them being happily together in another time and space.

At least it's not like him and Xie Qi who are not destined to be together.

Lu Ze sincerely hopes that Xie Lan and Shen Yanze in this world can live a happy and fulfilling life in this peaceful and tranquil land, and it is enough for him to just watch their happiness from afar.

However, as his observation of them continued to deepen, Lu Ze unexpectedly discovered Shen Yanze's deeply hidden conspiracy.

Shen Yan actually attempted to manipulate the thoughts and will of others. The brain center that was supposed to benefit mankind has now become a murderous weapon for him to achieve his personal goals.

Not only that, Lu Ze also learned that the chip in Xie Lan's body had been tampered with by Shen Yanze, and Shen Yanze had been using Xie Lan to achieve his own goals.

Although the Xie Lan in front of him was not the Xie Qi who once loved him deeply, he could not bear to see the "Xie Qi" in another time and space turn back into the emotionless corpse lying there coldly.

So from that moment on, everyone clearly realized that Lu Chiyan extremely disliked Shen Yanze and even suppressed him at all costs. Over time, the two gradually evolved into a relationship of sworn enemies.

Lu Ze thought that since his current self wanted to hurt Xie Lan, he might as well find a way to win Xie Lan over and keep her by his side.

However, when he mentioned this to Xie Lan, he never expected that the other party would not believe what he said at all, and even accused him of slandering Shen Yanze, just because he and Shen Yanze were sworn enemies.

Originally, Lu Ze thought that as long as the chip in Xie Lan's body was removed through surgery, the problem might be solved.

But he was soon told by a doctor: "The chip in the human body is connected to the nervous system. If the host refuses to cooperate and is forcibly removed, the worst consequence will be mental disorder and dementia. The worst consequence is a coma and becoming an unconscious vegetative state."

In other words, only if Xie Lan is willing can he ensure that the chip is safely removed.

Xie Lan expressed strong resistance to Lu Chiyan's decision. He wondered why such a convenient tool should be removed.

Xie Lan couldn't understand the conservative ideas of Lu Chiyan and others. In order to oppose Shen Yanze, they came up with such a ridiculous lie. As a result, Xie Lan became more and more disgusted with Lu Chiyan and wanted to stay away from him.

However, looking at Xie Lan who was full of resistance to him, Lu Ze had no choice but to force him to stay on his side and not let him go back to find Shen Yanze.

Perhaps after they successfully expose Shen Yanze's conspiracy, Xie Lan will believe what he said.

However, due to the restrictions of federal law, he could not directly lock Xie Lan up. Therefore, Lu Chiyan took advantage of the legal loophole and married Xie Lan to bind him firmly to his side and give him the best protection.

For Lu Chiyan, Xie Lan is not a stand-in or substitute.

His real purpose was simply to hope that this "Xie Qi" who might have come from another time and space could live safely and happily.

After Lu Chiyan finished speaking, he was afraid that Xie Qi would mind this matter, so he immediately explained nervously: "I really don't think of anyone as your substitute. You are you. I have never confused the two of you."
