Auntie Hao walked over. “Young Madam, would you like dinner?”
Lu Weixi turned her down but thought about how she had not had a proper meal in two days. Besides, then she would have a chance to ask Qin Zhiyou for her “wage” during dinner.
Changing her mind, she said, “Cooking some porridge, with some side dishes. Something light for two.”
——
11pm.
Lu Weixi stretched lazily as she sat before her computer in the dining room. The food on the table was already cold, but it was all untouched.
Qin Zhiyou did not like to be disturb while he was working, and she knew better than to disturb him. While he worked, she occupied herself. She had designs to work on, and she had to take into consideration the preferences of the customers and the conditions of the houses.
Given the time, Qin Zhiyou probably would not eat either. Switching off the computer, she put the porridge and dishes in the microwave to heat them up. She had just returned to the table and was happily enjoying her meal when she heard a noise from upstairs. When she looked up, she saw Qin Zhiyou standing at the corner of the stairs, looking down at her.
Lu Weixi almost choked. She immediately covered her mouth with a piece of tissue and swallowed the porridge and side dishes. She drank some water to clear her throat before she stood up and arranged her hair.
Qin Zhiyou glanced at her plainly without saying anything. Secretary Wang, who was by his side, headed downstairs behind him. “Then, CEO Qin, I’ll deal with the matter in accordance with your instructions. I’ll write down your instructions for the event planning and get the planning department to review it. As for the overseas development plan…”
Qin Zhiyou completed all his unfinished work from the afternoon in two hours. As they spoke of work, Lu Weixi sat quietly on the side. She only walked over after Secretary Wang left.
“Zhiyou.”
She was still finding the words to ask him for money, but he paid no attention to her. He turned and headed upstairs towards the bedroom.
Lu Weixi was a little confused, but she caught up with him. Heading into the room, she switched her expression into a smile. “Zhiyou, the message I sent you earlier…”
Qin Zhiyou sniffed her as he headed closer towards her before she could finish. He frowned with a look of disdain. “You smell like smoke. It stinks.”
What smoke? She was eating plain porridge and preserved vegetables.
Even though she was confused, she headed to the bathroom and cleaned up. She thought about it and brushed her teeth. When she was done with everything and headed out of the bathroom, Qin Zhiyou got up. “I’m a little hungry. I want to eat something.”
Lu Weixi nodded immediately. “Then I’ll get Auntie Hao to make you some more.”
“No need.” Qin Zhiyou shook his head with a casual upturn of the lips. “Even though I’m rich, my money doesn’t fall from the sky. It’s not good to waste things.”
After she spoke, he headed downstairs to the dining room and reheated the porridge and side dishes. It was her unfinished portion.
Lu Weixi was stunned. “You…”
Qin Zhiyou raised his brows, unhappy to be interrupted.
“…Nothing.” Perhaps he did not see things clearly in the dim light of the dining room. Picky as Qin Zhiyou was, it was hard to imagine that he would eat the food she had eaten and use utensils that she had used.
Lu Weixi sat on the side, waiting for him to finish his meal. As always, the way he ate was refined, the picture of elegance. After he wiped his mouth with a napkin, he raised his eyebrows when he saw her sitting on the side. “What’s up?”
‘What’s up?’ What does he mean by this? Does he not remember why he called me back?
Or is he refusing to pay the debt?
