After Meng Jinyang and Qin Yaozhi had lunch at the Lu manor, they returned to Capital University.
In the evening.
Lu Chengzhou returned with spicy rice cakes, Mala broth and milk tea. He glanced around the main hall.
Without waiting for his question, Butler Lu answered respectfully. "Madam is in the study."
Lu Chengzhou looked upstairs. "We are moving to the Royal Garden tomorrow. The chef and the dietitian will follow."
"Got it." Butler Lu responded and watched as Lu Chengzhou carried the food straight up the stairs.
Lu Yi felt hungry when he smelled the spicy rice cakes and the Mala broth along the way. He immediately went to the kitchen to look for the food and he even took out a packet of Latiao from his pocket.
Butler Lu looked at the Latiao which costs 50 cents and he was silent. "...Why would you buy something like that?"
Lu Yi said softly, "Our Madam wants it but she never got the chance to eat it. Hush... I’m doing this secretly because our Master does not allow her to eat this."
Butler Lu was silent.
At the Lu manor, even a bottle of water cost thousands. Now, they had spicy rice cakes, Mala broth, milk tea, and even a packet of Latiao which only costs 50 cents...
Butler Lu could not adjust to such a mediocre lifestyle for a moment...
...
Upstairs.
Lu Chengzhou pushed the door open to the study. Gu Mang was lying on the soft chair and a book was sprawled across her face. She seemed to be asleep.
In the next second, Gu Mang suddenly sat up and the book on her face fell onto her lap. She stared at the thing in his hand and did not even look at him.
Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes.
"Fried rice cakes and Mala broth." Gu Mang put the soup to the side and named the items accurately.
Lu Chengzhou stared at her.
Does she have a dog’s nose?
The man walked towards her slowly and put the food on the small round table. He held her by the back of the neck and leaned over to bite on her lips softly.
"Do I rank behind food now?" He pressed his forehead against her. "Do I still mean anything to you?"
Gu Mang glanced at the food and back onto him. "Yes."
"What a half-hearted attitude." Lu Chengzhou commented and pinched the back of her neck. He sighed, "It’s almost nighttime, don’t eat too much."
"K." Gu Mang responded casually and picked up a fork.
Gu Mang stayed silent as if she was thinking if she should flirt back or concede.
In the end, she pointed at him with the fork and stared at him with her cold and sharp eyes. She did not sound threatening at all. "If you’ve received the benefit, then admit it."
Lu Chengzhou guessed that this would be her reaction and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Gu Mang couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, so she looked down and continued eating.
Lu Chengzhou was afraid that it would be too spicy for her, so he poured her a glass of water. When he returned to sit down, he saw the book that Gu Mang was reading from the corner of his eyes.
The Black Sea.
The cover was the dark and depressing surface of the sea.
Lu Chengzhou picked the book up. "The author of this series is pretty good. If you like to read them, I still have the other four on that bookshelf over there."
Given Lu Chengzhou’s status, there were very few things that he would recognize to be worthy of praise or to acknowledge a person’s talent sincerely.
There were countless professional and technical books from all the various industries in the entire study, and only Dark’s novels could be placed here.
Lu Chengzhou was not surprised that Gu Mang would like this novel.
When he suddenly flipped to the title page, he saw a wild and sharp signature on it. He froze.
