Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Grandpa, we walked here, and i Shu exercises every morning,” Lu Si explained for her, then helped her sit on the sofa and had soone bring the pre-prepared hot tea from ho.
i Shu said, “Mr. Lu, 1 brought you the tea from last ti. If you enjoy it, I’ll make so more for you when I have ti.”
Lu Ting glanced at the jar put on the table by Lu Si, obviously pleased but still tried to appear indifferent, casually saying, “Just leave it here. Since you are Ah Si’s girlfriend, it’s only right for you to honor together. In the future, you should inquire with Ah Si yourself about how much tea is left. If there’s not enough, you should know to bring more without reminding you.”
Hearing it, Lu Si looked nervously at i Shu, about to speak up for her.
But i Shu cut in before him, speaking in a submissive tone, “Yes, Mr. Lu, I will rember your words.”
Lu Ting had expected i Shu to argue back, but today she unexpectedly acquiesced, which surprised him. He looked at her, sowhat taken aback, “You’re behaving well. But don’t think that 1’11 accept you just because of this. Honestly, I still don’t like you much.”
“It’s okay, Mr. Lu. You don’t have an obligation to like ,” i Shu nodded.
Now Lu Ting was completely stunned.
He probed further, saying, “If I happen to co across a more suitable girl than you, I will still introduce her to Ah Si.”
“Grandpa!” Lu Si frowned, ready to protest.
i Shu intervened, “Introducing girls to him is your concern, but whether Si’s heart stays with depends on my capability.”
Lu Ting fell silent for a while before he said, “You do have so capability. 1’11 wait and see if you can fulfill our bet.”
“I’m looking forward to it, Mr. Lu,” i Shu turned to Lu Si and said, “Didn’t you promise to make my favorite breakfast? I’m craving it now.”
Lu Si nodded and, facing Lu Ting’s displeased gaze, led i Shu through the breakfast options.
In the dining room, i Shu realized Lu Si had put a lot of effort into this al.
The table was filled with dishes tailored to her taste.
Lu Li and his wife had gone to work, and Lu Yan had also left early. Only the three of them remained at ho.
Apparently, Lu Ting’s taste differed greatly from i Shu’s. He sat by the table, looking even grumpier than before, and pointed at the sweet porridge in front of him, displeased, “I don’t like sweet food. Make another pot of porridge for !”
He then looked at the sweet pastries on the table, disdainfully dropped his chopsticks, and complained, “I won’t eat them. How can I eat this? I’ll get diabetes if 1 finish all this!”
i Shu, watching Lu Ting stand up, smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, 1 didn’t know our tastes were so different. They’re not very sweet. You can try them. If you really don’t like them, 1 can personally make so for you.”
Lu Ting was surprised to hear i Shu could cook. His expression softened montarily, but seeing i Shu’s smiling face, he imdiately stiffened and said, unkindly, “I won’t eat them. Since you can cook, go and make another pot of porridge and a few more dishes for !”
He ordered her around as if i Shu’s visit to their ho was to serve as a maid.
Usually Lu Ting wouldn’t have acted like this. After all, i Shu was a guest in their house for the first ti, and she was also the CEO of the i family.
But now he had obviously been spoiled by i Shu’s submissive attitude from the mont she walked in the door, considering it only natural to order her around, even though he felt uneasy about it in his heart. He sohow felt that i Shu wouldn’t refuse any of his requests.
Sure enough, as soon as he said so, i Shu imdiately put down her chopsticks and stood up, as if ready to go to the kitchen.
Lu Ting’s eyes revealed a long-lost sense of triumph, akin to taming a wild horse, as his burning gaze remained fixed on i Shu without blinking for a mont.
Lu Si couldn’t bear to see i Shu being treated this way in his territory. He grabbed her wrist and, facing Lu Ting’s angry gaze, said, “Grandpa, i Shu is a guest today. There’s no reason for her to go to the kitchen. Let the chef make it for Grandpa.”
“Let her go!” Lu Ting said imperiously.
i Shu gently pushed away Lu Si’s hand, smiled softly, and said, “Ah Si, don’t worry. It’s just cooking a al. As long as Mr. Lu is happy, I’m not feeling wronged.”
This statent eased Lu Ting’s mind.
He sat back down in his seat with a sense of satisfaction, as if accustod to being waited on.
i Shu went to the kitchen herself. After washing her hands, she picked out so vegetables from the refrigerator to start making the porridge.
Lu Si followed her anxiously, whispering, “You don’t have to endure this. Let take you out to eat..”
