Xu Wuning was not afraid at all; instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"So what?"

What's the use of being honest? She's about to fail her mission, why should she be honest?

But this time, will we finally succeed?

Lu Jingci clenched his fists, trying to suppress his anger. The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and fine beads of sweat slid down his temples.

The two were so close that they could kiss with the slightest movement.

Lu Jingci's obsessive and fierce aura was barely suppressed beneath his eyelashes.

Before Xu Wuning could even feel happy, he took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and walked out without looking back.

"I'm going to take a shower."

Xu Wuning stared wide-eyed at his back, gritting her teeth in anger.

The next moment, she grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around herself, jumped off the bed barefoot, and quickly chased after him.

Just as he was about to step out the door, she raised her foot and kicked him hard in the buttocks, sending him flying out the door.

The door slammed shut with a "bang".

An exasperated voice came from inside the room: "Lu Jingci, go see a urologist."

"You're just like that incompetent husband in the movie!"

Outside.

Lu Jingci staggered after being kicked, his face as dark as ink.

The water in the bathroom was turned on and dripped down his face.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, and the light dimmed for a moment.

I recalled that slender, snow-white waist from just now.

Completely different from his previous act of gentle refinement, his gloomy eyes were as deep as the ocean, overflowing with a sinister and lustful glint.

It makes you want to tie him up and kill him.

A muffled groan came from the bathroom and disappeared into the pitch-black night.

-

The next morning, Lu Jingci came out of another room and was stunned when he saw who was downstairs.

Xu Wuning changed her usual style. Wearing an apron, she looked up at him with a gentle smile and said, "You're awake? I made you breakfast, all your favorites."

The dining table was also fully stocked.

Lu Jingci felt he might not be fully awake. He pinched his palm hard and found it hurt, then he realized what was happening.

"Where is Zhang Ma?"

Xu Wuning thoughtfully set out the chopsticks. "Aunt Zhang, I gave her a day off. I'll cook for you myself today."

Lu Jingci walked down the stairs very quickly.

When he reached Xu Wuning, he grabbed her hand and carefully examined her palm: "Are you burned? You can leave these things to someone else in the future."

Xu Wuning shook her head, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Of course not, I just want you to try my cooking. Sit down and have a bite."

Lu Jingci released her hand, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

There were several small dishes in front of me, and they looked surprisingly good, at least they looked presentable.

Xu Wuning picked up a piece of stir-fried vegetables with her chopsticks and placed it in his bowl, her eyes full of hope: "Try it, is it good?"

Lu Jingci lowered his head and put the food in his mouth. He chewed slowly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, but his expression remained normal: "...Delicious."

Xu Wuning immediately smiled and diligently added a lot to his bowl, saying, "Then eat more, there's still plenty left."

Lu Jingci didn't say anything, eating bite by bite, but swallowing was a bit difficult.

The porridge had a strange sour taste, the edges of the fried egg were burnt, and it seemed like too much salt had been added to the vegetables.

Xu Wuning rested her chin on her hand as she looked at him, her joyful smile widening. "You're eating so deliciously! Is it really that good? If it is, eat more and don't leave any."

She put some more food into his bowl.

Lu Jingci closed his eyes and shoved the bowl into his throat, emptying it quickly.

"I'm full," he put down his chopsticks, picked up a glass of water and drank it quickly. "I have an important meeting today, so I'm going to the company now."

Xu Wuning paused for a moment, thinking he was eating a bit too fast, but she quickly smiled again, stood up to see him off, and said, "Take care on your way home. What do you want to eat tonight? I..."

Lu Jingci had already picked up his suit jacket and quickly shook his head. "No need. Your cooking skills are very good. It's just that cooking once is tiring. How can you do such tiring work for me every day, Miss? I feel sorry for you. Let's go out to eat tonight."

"Alright, no need to say more, it's settled then."

Before Xu Wuning could speak, the door was closed.

Looking at the food on the table, she smiled contentedly.

As expected of her, although she ate in the school cafeteria in her previous life and hadn't cooked in this life as a young lady for a long time, this kind of small thing was a piece of cake for her.

With a little more effort, perhaps she can win over Lu Jingci with her superb culinary skills.

She sat down at the dining table, humming a song, and solemnly picked up her chopsticks to taste the food.

"A good chef often doesn't need complicated cooking techniques... Ugh, this tastes awful!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she tried the other dishes. Help!

She gulped down several large mouthfuls of water and coughed several times.

How could it taste so bad? How did Lu Jingci manage to eat it?

Her words echoed in her mind again: "Your cooking is excellent, but how can you do such tiring work for me every day, Miss? I feel sorry for you. Let's go out for dinner tonight."

No wonder he said he wanted to eat out? He truly is a saint; instead of directly saying the food is bad, he says, "I feel sorry for you having to go through all this trouble."

Okay, then let's go out for dinner together tonight.

Xu Wuning's lips curled up, and she narrowed her eyes.

Going out for a candlelight dinner would be a great opportunity for her to seduce Lu Jingci. Just wait and see.

……

Zilin Shanzhai is a restaurant under the Lu Group. It is well-known in the industry for its delicious food, and it is difficult for many prominent figures to make a reservation. The top floor is even more difficult to book.

When Lu Jingci and Xu Wuning walked in, the receptionist went to inform the manager. The manager was so surprised that he stood up abruptly and rushed to greet them: "Mr. Lu, you've arrived! And...Ms. Xu."

He was very respectful, as if afraid of not being able to entertain you properly, "This way, this way! I'll take you two to the top floor."

Didn't President Lu dislike Miss Xu? Why did he bring her to dinner? Their relationship doesn't seem as bad as the rumors say.

The manager quickly composed himself, put on a smile, and personally led the way.

The elevator went up, and there was no one around.

Lu Jingci stood there, his posture dignified. The buttons on his suit jacket were undone, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his forearms, revealing his slender and powerful wrists. He glanced down at his phone.

Xu Wuning reached out her hand, hooked her fingertips around his sleeve and gently shook it, "Lu Mianhua, I'm hungry."

Lu Jingci turned off his phone, patted her hand reassuringly, and said in a soft voice as if coaxing her, "We're almost there. I'll order all your favorite foods and feed you, okay?"

"Okay," Xu Wuning continued to lazily tug at his sleeve, and smiled. "Before I came, I lied to my dad and said I was studying company affairs. He definitely doesn't know that we're on a date."

"We're doing this behind everyone's back, secretly, so nobody will know."

The next second, just when the manager thought that President Lu would definitely object to the word "date," Lu Jingci simply hummed in agreement.

The manager behind him: ?

Is it just his imagination? Why does he feel like the two of them are a couple? It's like they're having an affair?

Also, the "father" Miss Xu mentioned, is it Chairman Xu? He arrived half an hour ago and is currently discussing business on the top floor.

There are six tables of people on the top floor today.

There was another table occupied by Jiang Xu'an, President Jiang.

Should he tell President Lu and Miss Xu that there are several acquaintances here?

Everyone will know that you two came here to have a secret rendezvous, oh wait, I mean, to sneak off for a meal...
