Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yan Fei shut her mouth.
Everyone was also speechless.
From the Capital to Hong Kong City, there were countless women who were interested in Lu Huaiyu.
As long as he showed any interest, was there any woman he could not have?
Now, however, he had just said that Miss Ning had been very difficult to woo, and it had not been easy for him to catch up.
At first, she had thought that Ning Li had won the Second Master of the Lu family’s favor by virtue of her looks, but now it seemed that it was the complete opposite.
It was Lu Huaiyu who had pursued her first, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of effort on it.
His heart had been set on her.
He was in love with her.
She was his heart’s desire.
It was all Ning Li.
Hearing this, Ning Li raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him.
This man’s words were really…
Back then, he had only asked her if she wanted him, and she had nodded her head.
Now, was he actually saying that she had been difficult to pursue?
As if sensing her gaze, Lu Huaiyu also looked over at her with a smile on his face.
“However, as long as Miss Ning is willing to nod, all of this is nothing.”
Ning Li gently pinched the palm of his hand.
Lu Huaiyu wrapped her hand tightly his hand and leaned in slightly. Using a voice that only the two of them could hear, he let out a soft chuckle.
“Don’t make a fuss. We’ll talk about it later when we get home.”
Ning Li, “…”
This man was never going to stop!
She glared at Lu Huaiyu. Unfortunately, her peach blossom eyes appeared to be sparkling and moist, without the slightest bit of intimidation.
Lu Huaiyu’s eyes darkened slightly. His slightly calloused fingertip gently stroked the back of her delicate hand.
The two of them were exchanging blows over such a trivial matter. However, in the eyes of everyone, it appeared to be an extremely intimate gesture.
Lu Huaiyu’s fondness and indulgent manner could not be clearer.
Had anyone ever seen him treat a person with such care and pampering?
Old Madam Gu saw this and felt quite satisfied.
She had seen Lu Huaiyu before and had some understanding of his personality.
Seeing how far he was willing to go for Ning Li, she was satisfied with the depth of his feelings for Ning Li.
She smiled.
“Why not? This afternoon, Ah Li refused to go to the auction with you in order to drink tea with me. Now that you’ve chased her here, how can I not return this person to you?”
Lu Huaiyu’s smile deepened.
“Thank you, Old Madam Gu.”
Old Madam Gu raised her chin.
“Then you should accompany Ah Li and have some fun.”
There were many important people here tonight, but it was obvious who Lu Huaiyu had come here for.
Since it was rare for the young couple to meet, they could just let it be.
She watched as this kid from the Lu family seemed to really wish he could just put the girl in his pocket.
As she said this, she turned around to go to the other side of the room.
Old Master Gu did not move.
“Aren’t you going to say farewell, Brother?”
She called out.
Old Master Gu then withdrew his gaze. Before he left, he could not help but glance back at Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Huaiyu met his gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Why did he feel that… Old Master Gu did not like him very much?
In the past, when he had come to Hong Kong City, this person had clearly admired him. Why had his att.i.tude changed so suddenly now?
“Second Brother, have you eaten anything tonight?”
Ning Li asked.
He had probably not had the time after the auction had ended.
Lu Huaiyu came back to his senses.
“Not yet.”
Ning Li’s gaze swept across the table.
Most of the things here were desserts and drinks. It was probably not–
She chose a small piece of mousse cake.
“Second Brother, would you like to try this first?”
Lu Huaiyu had already picked up the strawberry pudding that she had just put down.
Ning Li was slightly stunned.
“Second Brother, I already ate that before–”
Lu Huaiyu did not seem to care. He used the fork that she had used before and ate the remaining half of the strawberry pudding.
As he ate, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ning Li. He moved closer and asked with a smile, “Ah Li, you seem to like eating strawberries a lot now.”
Ning Li’s ears turned red.
“No.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Lu Huaiyu smiled.
“What about it? I like eating it very much.”
Gu Siyang was standing nearby.
He had long known that the two of them were together, so compared to the other people’s shocked and numb reactions, he was taking everything in stride.
Hearing the two of them talking, he walked over and curiously asked, “Hey, Second Master Lu, what delicious food are you talking about?”
He had vaguely overheard Lu Huaiyu mention that he had not eaten anything yet.
Lu Huaiyu straightened up slightly.
Gu Siyang also glanced at the table and asked, “Would you like them to prepare something else to eat?”
This Bansen Hotel belonged to the Gu family, so of course, it was their home ground.
Although Gu Siyang was usually jumped the gun, he was still a member of the Gu family and he would never miss out on a chance to do a good job.
Lu Huaiyu shook his head.
“There’s no need.”
Gu Siyang smiled warmly.
“It’s no trouble! It’s rare for you to come to Hong Kong City–”
Lu Huaiyu’s lips twitched slightly.
“It’s really not necessary. I’ll just eat the rest of Ah Li’s food.”
Gu Siyang, “…”
He finally stopped walking and swept his gaze over the two of them. With a complicated gaze, he asked, “Um… Should I leave now?”
Lu Huaiyu shot a glance at him.
At that moment, silence prevailed over words.
Gu Siyang retreated, as he silently excused himself.
Ning Li, “…”
She raised her eyes to look at Lu Huaiyu. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows.
“What? I like to eat the leftovers of my girlfriend. Is there a problem?”
Ning Li, “…”
Lu Huaiyu’s gaze fell on her hand.
“This looks good.”
Ning Li handed it over.
However, Lu Huaiyu refused to accept it, merely looking at her with a faint smile.
After a moment of confrontation, Ning Li finally could not hold it in anymore. She grabbed his arm, grinding her teeth in frustration.
“Lu Huaiyu, do you know that you’re being so ostentatious?”
Lu Huaiyu followed her movements and leaned over slightly.
He looked into her eyes and said with a smile, “Ah Li, do you know that you’re really beautiful today?”
So beautiful that he wanted to hide her.
All the amazed and greedy gazes that fell on her could easily magnify his desire to have her all to himself.
He wanted everyone to understand that this person was his.
He was not willing to share even a tiny bit of her with others.
It did not matter what means were used, no matter what method he used, as long as he achieved this goal.
He wanted everyone to know that she belonged to him alone.
Everything else was not important.
He could not help but gently kiss the side of her face, smiling as though he was begging her.
“Stop seducing me…. Ah Li.”
