âI am not telling you.â
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. âWash your hands before dinner.â
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. âIt 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. Thatâs all. Now, letâs eat!â
Huo Yunting secretly sneered. What younger brother? Perhaps he was up to no good.
âYou are not eating?â Lu Zhaoyang asked. âYou donât like the dishes?â
Huo Yunting glanced at the chicken feet on the table. âPut it away. I cannot bear to see it.â
âYes, your Excellency...â 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.
âWhere have you been?â Lu Zhaoyang asked.
It was just a little boy on the fourth floor. So, his worry was uncalled for, he thought.
âNothing, I just took a walk in the stairway to help with digestion.â Huo Yunting smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. âYou cooked dinner for me. I will return the favor tonight.â
Lu Zhaoyang was flabbergasted.
What an asshole, she thought.
After a night of incredibly hot sex, the two sleep-tangled in bed until the next morning when the doorbell rang.
Lu Zhaoyangâs heart skipped a beat. She pushed Huo Yuntingâs 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.
âIt is the weekend. You donât have to get up so early.â Huo Yunting had difficulty getting out of bed when he was with her. Now, he just did not feel like getting up.
âYou keep sleeping. I have promised people to go shopping today.â She pushed his hand away and got out of bed like a little slippery loach.
âIs it Lin Yazhi again? She spoils the day every time. I am going to fire her.â Huo Yunting was semi awake, leaning on the headboard like a boneless creature.
âIt is not her.â
âThen who is it?â Speaking of which, a person suddenly came to mind.
Huo Yunting simply put on a shirt 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. âGood morning, sister. Err, you are... brother-in-law?â
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.
âYou are not the little boy living on the fourth floor.â
âI live on the fifth floor.â
Huo Yunting realized he had gotten the wrong person. âShe is still sleeping. You may want to come back in couple of hoursââ
âI am up. See you in an hour downstairs!â
Lu Zhaoyangâs voice was heard coming from behind Huo Yunting.
Lu Bai replied, âOkay!â
Before leaving, Lu Bai glanced at Huo Yuntingâs bare chest muscles and abs.
