Yue Ling watched as Lu Tian ate the food she had made. She wasn’t hungry since she had eaten while cooking, so letting the man finish his lunch, her eyes wonder to his office.

They’ve been together for a while now, but this is only her second time coming here. Surprisingly, everything is still the same. So dark and gloomy, it was the complete opposite of her office at De L’amour.

Just as she thought this, her eyes locked with one of the walls in the room. She swallow a dry gulp and her cheeks flush redder than ever before.

If this had been first time here, she would have thought it to be a simple wall like any other office. However, since this is her second time here, she knows that hidden on the other side of that wall is an adjacent room.

It was the very room he had taken her into and devour her like a hungry beast.

Lu Tian took a bite of a piece of fried tofu when his eyes subconsciously glance at his wife. Without needing to look in the direction she was looking at, the corners of his lip curls up.

"Do you want to take a nap with me after I finish eating?"

Hearing his words, Yue Ling choked on her own saliva. She felt as if she was the one eating and had a piece of meat stuck in her throat.

Unable to say a word, she could only cough while one hand pats her chest. Between her coughs, she would signal the man a ’no’ with her hand.

Lu Tian’s smile widens, and he set the chopsticks down. Reaching for a bottle of water she had brought, he opens it and hands it to her. As he held it out to her, his other hand didn’t forget to lightly pat her on the back.

"I only asked if you wanted to nap since you must be tired from cooking. However, seeing you like this, I think you somehow misinterpreted my words with dirty thoughts."

Yue Ling was dumbfounded by his words. She cast him a glare before taking the bottle of water. She quickly drinks it like it was an antidote to save her life. Once she was able to calm down, she set the half full bottle of water down. Her glaring eyes remains in place, but this time like she wanted to strangle the man to death.

"How can you even think about taking a nap at a time like this? You are a CEO, what if your employees walk in and saw you? Aren’t you worried about what they will say?"

Like her words had made a point, Lu Tian’s happy expression turned into one of pondering. He held his chin and slightly frowns, then glance back at her.

"That is true, but no one will dare to enter my office other than my assistant. However, Xu Long knows better when to enter and when not too. Also, neither will my workers dare to say anything."

"...."

Yue Ling stares baffled at the man. She couldn’t help but think to herself. She had heard many say Lu Tian is cold and ruthless, but in her eyes, he is none other than an overly egocentric and shameless man.

Even if he is right about his employees, he should at least consider the fact that he is their superior and must maintain a good image.

However, even if she thought this, she could never say it to him because he will always have some kind of response to back himself up.

Pushing the thought aside, she smiles a smile that reaches her eyes.

"Alright, alright, Mr. Almighty Lu. Hurry and finish your lunch before it gets cold."

She reach for the chopsticks he had set down, but when her eyes caught sight of the food, her smile quickly disappears.

"Tian, do you not like my cooking? Why did you eat so little?"

The dishes she had prepared were fried tofu, braised chicken, seasoned vegetables with prawns, chicken skewers, mixed vegetables, sweet sour pork, and a side of chicken soup. However, he only ate the fried tofu and at least one or two prawns.

Her frown deepens and she slight purse her lip. Could it be that her cooking skills had gone bad? No, that can’t be. He ate the breakfast she had made this morning.

Without giving him a chance to answer, she reach for another set of chopsticks in the bag. Picking a piece from each dish, she give them all a taste.

However, everything tasted fine.

She set the chopsticks down and taps her chin into thinking.

"Unless my taste bud is off.... Should I call everyone else and ask how the food is?"

Deep in her thoughts she had forgotten about the man sitting next to her and spoke her thoughts aloud.

Lu Tian stares at his wife and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had been contemplating on which dish to eat next and only ate a little because he wanted to try all the food she had prepared.

However, when he heard her sudden thoughts, his eyelids grew heavy like he was going to fall asleep.

He calmly set the chopsticks in his hand down and turns his head to look back at her.

"Who is everyone else?"

"Yeye, your mother, your father, Uncle Zhi, Liu Shan, and... and..."

Yue Ling was too deeply immersed in her own thoughts that when Lu Tian asked her, she answers him without thinking. However, realizing that the entire room had turned cold, she finally caught herself, but it was already too late.

Her head slowly turns to him and she force a pausing chuckle full of sarcasm.

"Heh... heh... It’s... It’s not what you think."

Lu Tian stares with a straight face at her. He leans back against the couch and cross his arms over his chest. He doesn’t say a word, but his expression was as if he was saying, ’Oh, please do enlighten me’.

Met with such a gaze, Yue Ling knew she could not utter some kind of excuse to get out from this. She had already answered him when he asked, so changing her explanation would be pointless now.

Also, this person is Lu Tian. If it had been someone else, maybe she could get away, but unfortunately, Lu Tian is always able to read her like the back of his hand.

"Fine."

She inhales sharply then looks him straight in the eyes.

"I had planned to only prepare this delicious meal for you, but I got sidetracked and made a little too much."

Her index finger points to the food on the table. It was exactly as she said, instead of lunch, the meal she prepared was more fitting for a dinner party.

"I didn’t want any of the food to go to waste, so I decided to share is with everyone else. Even if you disapprove, it’s already too late because I already gave it to them before coming here."
