Aunt Hao came over, “Young Madam, would you like to have dinner?”

Lu Weixi had just responded with a ‘no’ but then thought about the fact that she hadn’t eaten properly in the last couple of days. Moreover, if she had dinner, she could take the opportunity to ask Qin Zhiyou to “pay her wages”.

So she immediately responded, “Make some porridge, and a few light side dishes. Prepare enough for two.”

It was eleven o’clock at night.

Lu Weixi sat in front of the computer in the dining room, stretching. The food on the table had already cooled, yet no one had touched a morsel of it.

Qin Zhiyou doesn’t like to be disturbed when he works, and she never bothered him either. His work didn’t keep her idle – she had designs to sketch and revise, and the clients’ tastes and the actual conditions of the houses to consider.

At this hour, Qin Zhiyou probably won’t have dinner either. She closed her laptop, took the porridge and the dishes on the table to the kitchen to heat them up in the microwave. Just as she returned to the dining room and started eating, there was a sound from upstairs. She looked up to see Qin Zhiyou standing at the corner of the stairs, looking down at her from atop.

Lu Weixi almost choked, hastily muffled her mouth with a napkin, and swallowed the porridge and dishes that were in her mouth. She took a sip of water, stood up and even tidied her hair.

Qin Zhiyou glanced at her indifferently and said nothing. Secretary Wang also came downstairs, “Well, Mr. Qin, I’ll deal with that matter as you instructed. I will write down your instructions for the event’s planning, and have the planning department revise it. There’s also the plan for overseas development…”

Qin Zhiyou had finished all the work he didn’t complete in the afternoon, within two hours. Lu Weixi sat quietly by their side during their work discussion. It was only after Secretary Wang left, that she came over contentedly, “Zhiyou,” she was still contemplating how best to approach him to ask for money when Qin Zhiyou, without a word, turned and went straight upstairs, heading towards the bedroom.

Lu Weixi was a bit perplexed but promptly followed him. Upon entering the room, she put on a smile, “Zhiyou, about the message I sent you…”

Before she finished speaking, Qin Zhiyou sniffed near her and suddenly frowned, seemingly disgusted, “You stink of grease, it’s unbearable.”

She had eaten clear porridge and some salty dishes, how could she have any greasy smell on her?

Although baffled, she first went to the bathroom, showered off the day’s grime, brushed her teeth, and only then did she return from the bathroom. As soon as she was out, Qin Zhiyou stood up, “I’m a little hungry. I want to eat something.”

Lu Weixi immediately nodded, “I will ask Aunt Hao to prepare something for you.”

“No need.”, Qin Zhiyou shook his head, his tone as indifferent as his chuckle, “Though I am rich, I don’t squander money. Waste is disgraceful.”

After he said these words, he walked directly to the kitchen, reheated the porridge and the remaining dishes- those she had just left unfinished.

Lu Weixi was startled, “You…”

Qin Zhiyou lightly raised an eyebrow, his face expressing annoyance at being disturbed.

“…nothing.” Maybe because the dim lighting in the dining room might have made it impossible for him to see clearly. It was hard to imagine a person as particular as Qin Zhiyou would eat the leftovers from her meal, and use her utensils.

Lu Weixi waited as he slowly and gracefully finished his meal, not forgetting to wipe his mouth with a napkin. Seeing her on his side, he lifts his eyebrows, “What is it?”

What does he mean? Did he not remember why he had asked her to return?

Or did he intend to – – default on payment?

(Don’t worry if the protagonist might undergo a hardship. The protagonist is heartless, psychologically very resilient. It’s the male lead’s part to be under duress..)
