The small reception area was very quiet, with a whole set of tempered glass coffee tables and leather sofas, elegant as if they were works of art.
On the coffee table were plates of exquisite dishes, a mix of at and vegetables, full of color, aroma, and flavor, making one’s mouth water. On the other side were clean bowls and chopsticks, a small jar with white rice, and empty glass cups, etc.
Su Xingyu understood, he was asking her to eat.
She bent down to pick up an empty bowl, served him a portion of rice, then served herself, and placed the chopsticks and tea one by one.
Then she went to call him, "Alright."
Only then did he put down the docunts in his hand, coming over in a leisurely manner, sitting down to take up a bowl.
Su Xingyu also sat down, head down, eating quietly.
He then said, "From now on, wait for my call at noon, and co up when I call you." He was busy with work and didn’t always eat in the office, but whenever he did, he wanted to have lunch with her. For so reason, he seed to have gotten used to a life with her, feeling more relaxed having a little wife by his side.
She paused for a mont, "Do I have to eat here every ti?"
At first, facing this sa face every night made her feel tense, and now even eating at the company wasn’t peaceful.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don’t want to?"
She bit her lip, thinking it best to be tactful, "...No." Fine, having lunch together isn’t a big deal, no need to anger him. She really didn’t want more conflicts with him, as she always ended up losing. As long as it wasn’t a matter of principle, she’d rather endure and swallow her grievances.
She lowered her head and shoveled rice into her mouth. Despite the carefully cooked Longjing shrimp being delicious, it tasted like wax.
Lu Shifeng said, "Eat so vegetables, don’t be picky."
It was only then she realized she had almost polished off an entire plate of shrimp. Following his gaze, she saw that he was pointing at a plate of bitter lon. Bitter lon... That was her most hated food, without exception.
"Can’t I not..."
"No," he said, staring into her eyes, "Eat."
She nearly cried, reluctantly picking up a piece of bitter lon, putting it in her mouth. Her small face and brows scrunched up, holding back the urge to spit out. Quickly, she took a big bite of rice and drank a large glass of water.
Lu Shifeng watched with so amusent, "Is it really that bad?"
"Try it if you don’t believe !" she retorted unhappily.
Seeing her puffed-up, rabbit-like expression, Lu Shifeng actually took a piece and put it in his mouth, eating it without changing expression. After finishing, he even transferred all the remaining pieces on the plate to her.
"You...!" Su Xingyu was completely dumbfounded, there was no way she could eat all that bitter lon!
Lu Shifeng elegantly took a napkin to wipe his mouth, supervising her, "Eat it all. Bitter lon is good for you."
Su Xingyu resentfully stabbed at the limp green vegetable with her chopsticks, "I never ate it growing up, yet I’ve lived well all these years?" Hmph, tyrant, pervert, beast, deliberately bullying her!
To her surprise, Lu Shifeng said, "That’s because you were in the Su Family."
She was taken aback.
Lu Shifeng continued, "Who in the Su Family cared about what you ate? When the family doctor checked you last ti, they said you have a weak constitution and blood deficiency. That’s the outco of being raised by the Su Family. Since you married , you should change those picky eating habits. I told you, whatever the Su Family didn’t teach you, I will."
She rembered that he had said such words when she first married in.
For a mont, her heart was filled with mixed emotions, impossible to describe.
She should have hated him, yet suddenly felt aggrieved. After such willful destruction and abuse, he managed to say such sweet words, making it hard to love or hate him, leaving her at a loss. She lowered her head and bit into the bitter lon in her bowl, the bitterness spreading down her throat, after an initial intense bitterness, a hint of sweetness erged.
She ate quietly, and he watched quietly beside her.
The whole office was very tranquil, as if even ti had frozen.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Shifeng raised his voice, "Co in."
The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and an elegant woman in a plain dress walked in gracefully, it was Zhuang Heng. "Shifeng," she called with a smile, walking familiarly toward the small reception area. However, when she rounded the wooden partition and saw Su Xingyu, her exquisitely made-up face stiffened uncontrollably, "Xingyu is here too."
"I’ve told you, we’re not close," Su Xingyu didn’t like her, "Please don’t call Xingyu, Miss Zhuang."
Zhuang Heng’s face quickly returned to normal, her voice carrying so endurance and grievance, "Xingyu, have I ever offended you? Why do you repel every ti you see ? If it’s really sothing I’ve done wrong, I apologize."
Su Xingyu let out a cold laugh, this Zhuang Heng, what an act!
Lu Shifeng spoke up, "Xingyu, don’t be rude."
Su Xingyu only felt her anger rising, "Lu Shifeng, are you insisting on siding with her?"
Her angry look was truly like a cute rabbit, her dewy eyes wide open, with his reflection in the depths of her pupils, filled with reproach.
A familiar heat surged from Lu Shifeng’s lower abdon, quickly spreading throughout his body. He furrowed his brow, suppressing the urge to press her down on the sofa and ravage her, his voice slightly cold, "Don’t forget Zhuang Heng is Blade Group’s chief photographer." What he intended to remind her was that as the lady of the Blade Group, she shouldn’t treat important employees like this.
But Su Xingyu misunderstood his aning, "So being chief makes you incredible, deserving of bullying a star like ?"
Even Zhuang Heng’s lips blossod with a reserved smile, graciously saying, "Shifeng, both Xingyu and I are Blade employees, no need to ntion who’s chief or not, everyone is on the sa level."
"No, you’re not the sa." Lu Shifeng said. After speaking, he stared at Su Xingyu, "Apologize." His woman, the president’s wife, must prioritize the employees below, as half of Blade Group was hers! She must learn to respect her subordinates!
Su Xingyu wished she could throw the leftover food at his face, "I won’t!"
"Are you rebelling?" he narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"I just won’t!" The longer Su Xingyu interacted with him, the more hot-tempered she beca, probably because bad tempers are contagious. "Lu Shifeng, even if you beat to death, I won’t apologize to her! I haven’t done anything wrong!"
Lu Shifeng’s gaze grew even more dangerous, like a wolf ready to pounce and tear her to pieces.
Su Xingyu’s heart trembled, but she stubbornly straightened her back, refusing to show weakness.
