âItâs okay. Iâm rich and I donât need a wife,â replied Lu Bai as he took out the their dinner of pork livers and fish tonight.
âTsk.â Wen He clicked her tongue as she leaned against the door frame, surveying the busy man dicing and dumping meat into the pot, âYouâre the sole heir to the Lu family. Are you telling me that youâll be the last descendant to your family? Oh wait. I forgot. Youâre a home-hogger. How would you even get a wife of your own? How do you even get girls? Be honest with me, am I the very first woman you spoke within these 8 months?â
âNo.â
âThe chatty housewives at the supermarket donât count, darling.â
âWell, the supermarket doesnât only contain chatty housewives. There are other people, like a young and beautiful girlâthe lady living downstairs for example. She has a bright smile.â
Oh? Lady downstairs?
Wen He raised her brows and pondered before leaving the room. The curiosity drove her all the way down to the only door on Level 4. She heard footsteps stampeding towards the door after the doorbell buzzed.
Now let me see who got our Lu Baiâs heart.
âYes? Is there anything?â Said a middle-aged woman, about twice her size, talking at the top of her lungs.
âSORRY! WRONG HOUSE!â Wen He turned away but she held her steps immediately.
Wait a second, Wen He. That woman looks old enough to have a daughter about Lu Baiâs age. Maybe she has one.
âHOLD IT!â She barged in and grabbed the womanâs hand at the door, âDo you happen to have a daughter, maâam? The prettier one.â
âExcuse me, Iâm not that old. Iâm only 30 this year and I only have one child and itâs a boy. Go somewhere else for a scam, phony!â The door was slammed shut. Luckily Wen He withdrew her hand from the mouse trap quickly enough.
Please donât tell me itâs this wicked, oldâBrrrrr...
â She has a bright smile .â Lu Baiâs voice echoed.
Bright smile.
She could not help but shudder at the nightmarish imagery in her mind.
Wen He bent down and grabbed the handle by the stairs, âBoss, Iâm so sorry. I should have looked after Bai as much as possible. Now heâs on the twisted path...â She literally felt like jumping off the stairs, âDid he pick up thatââclassyâ taste from you, boss?â Mumbled, she tugged her broken body and broken heart back to the kitchen. Her soulless eyes reflected the silhouette of a diligent little chef by the sink.
âDude, what makes you love that âladyâ downstairs?â Somehow she could no longer feel the pain on her arm. It was the agonyâAGONY that was more painful in her heart.
âWell, her face is pretty. Her smileâs pretty. Her bodyâs pretty too. Sheâs kind and gentle too. She helped me a few times,â said Lu Bai without hesitation.
âWellâas long as youâre happy with that...â Wen Heâs cheek twitched, still in disbelief on the fact that Bai had gone for a mature married woman. That woman even had a son! Wen He prayed to the boss and heaven that this little boy would not become a family breaker.
She could not advise him to stop. He was a hard nut to crack after all.
He probably would only comply the moment she knocked him out and dragged him out of the scene, like the time beforeâHe probably would have been gone forever if she did not do that.
He was seriously like a bull!
âAchoo!â That was the fourth sneeze Lu Zhaoyang made during dinner, that she started wondering if she was actually allergic to the herbs she bought for dinner.
Back to the wounded woman and young boy at Level 5, âCome on. Youâre a man! Eat up! Eat more!â Wen He was urging the boy to stop eating like a kitten.
âIf Boss knows his precious son is skinnier than a rail. He probably would come for me from his grave.â
Lu Bai passed a glance, âSounds great. Iâll make sure he wonât go back the moment he got out of the grave.â
âWe are having these dishes merely because of you. You need more blood.â He frowned as he stared at the pile of dark crimson slices on the plate, âI never liked pork livers.â
âHuh?â She was bewildered, âI donât remember our boy was a picky eater.â
âWell now he is,â said Lu Bai with his eyes gawked at her, âLooks like you are completely revitalized. Well then, you can leave the house after this. The doorâs over there. Have a good night.â
