“I am not telling you.”
Lu Zhaoyang turned off the stove and served the last vegetable dish on the table.
The mood was right; it was her day off tomorrow.
Huo Yunting was blocking her way. Lu Zhaoyang nudged him with her elbow. “Wash your hands before dinner.”
There was a dish that stood out like a sore thumb. Neither of them liked the chicken feet.
Huo Yunting sat opposite her, staring at her with the chopsticks in his hands. He demanded an explanation.
Lu Zhaoyang compromised under his intense glare. “It is the tenant who lives upstairs. His surname is also Lu. We have met a few times. I helped him once, and he sent me this dish to say thank you. That’s all. Now, let’s eat!”
Huo Yunting secretly sneered. What younger brother? Perhaps he was up to no good.
“You are not eating?” Lu Zhaoyang asked. “You don’t like the dishes?”
Huo Yunting glanced at the chicken feet on the table. “Put it away. I cannot bear to see it.”
“Yes, your Excellency…” Lu Zhaoyang shot him a despising look and took the plate into the kitchen.
Huo Yunting was nowhere to be seen after Lu Zhaoyang washed the dishes after dinner.
Ten minutes later, Huo Yunting came back in from the outside. He seemed to be in a good mood again.
“Where have you been?” Lu Zhaoyang asked.
It was just a little boy on the fourth floor. So, his worry was uncalled for, he thought.
“Nothing, I just took a walk in the stairway to help with digestion.” Huo Yunting smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “You cooked dinner for me. I will return the favor tonight.”
Lu Zhaoyang was flabbergasted.
What an a.s.shole, she thought.
After a night of incredibly hot s.e.x, the two sleep-tangled in bed until the next morning when the doorbell rang.
Lu Zhaoyang’s heart skipped a beat. She pushed Huo Yunting’s hand away from her waist. Just as she was about to get up, Huo Yunting pulled her back down.
It was probably Lu Bai. She promised to go shopping with him on weekends.
“It is the weekend. You don’t have to get up so early.” Huo Yunting had difficulty getting out of bed when he was with her. Now, he just did not feel like getting up.
“You keep sleeping. I have promised people to go shopping today.” She pushed his hand away and got out of bed like a little slippery loach.
“Is it Lin Yazhi again? She spoils the day every time. I am going to fire her.” Huo Yunting was semi awake, leaning on the headboard like a boneless creature.
“It is not her.”
“Then who is it?” Speaking of which, a person suddenly came to mind.
Huo Yunting simply put on a s.h.i.+rt and went to the door. Could it be Huo Chen?
Seeing Huo Yunting clenching his fists, Lu Zhaoyang quickly followed him out.
Was he going to hit somebody?
Lu Bai stood outside the door, ringing the doorbell. The door suddenly opened.
Lu Bai was all smiles. “Good morning, sister. Err, you are… brother-in-law?”
Huo Yunting looked at the fair-skinned, thin man in front of him; he almost burst out.
But the man was calling him brother-in-law, Huo Yunting suddenly felt a lot better.
“You are not the little boy living on the fourth floor.”
“I live on the fifth floor.”
Huo Yunting realized he had gotten the wrong person. “She is still sleeping. You may want to come back in couple of hours—”
“I am up. See you in an hour downstairs!”
Lu Zhaoyang’s voice was heard coming from behind Huo Yunting.
Lu Bai replied, “Okay!”
Before leaving, Lu Bai glanced at Huo Yunting’s bare chest muscles and abs.
