Looking at the man’s smug expression, Su Yanxi was speechless. She was very curious about how he had the nerve to say that. Her red lips moved but she didn’t make a sound. She simply looked at him silently.

After a long while, the scene in the living room seemed to have paused. The sound of their gentle breathing could be heard.

Sensing that her gaze was changing bit by bit, Lu Jingyan could not help but look over at her indifferently. He lightly pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, “You have something to tell me?”

“No.” Su Yanxi pursed her lips and quickly replied. Her indifferent voice seemed to be filled with anger. She retracted her gaze and threw her laptop bag and handbag on the sofa before carrying the bag of groceries to the kitchen.

He glanced at the thin figure from the corner of his eyes and a glint flashed across his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up into a rare smile as he reached out with his long arms to pick up the magazine on the coffee table and casually flipped through it.

The moment Su Yanxi walked into the kitchen and put down the bag in her hand, she subconsciously glanced towards the living room. She realized that the man sitting on the sofa was remaining still without any reaction.

An inexplicable fire suddenly rose in her heart, but she tried her best to restrain it. She put the things in the bag into the fridge one by one and thought for a while about what she would eat later. After she made up her mind, she put on her apron and started preparing dinner.

Ten minutes later, Su Yanxi placed the two bowls of noodles on the table. She looked at the living room and said mildly, “It’s done.”

Lu Jingyan turned back to look at her when he heard that. When he noticed the apron she was wearing, he instinctively raised his eyebrows and put down the magazine in his hand. He got up and went to the dining room. As he pulled out a chair and was about to sit down, he noticed that there were only two bowls of noodles on the huge dining table. There were also poached eggs and some green onions on them. His expression instantly calmed down. “This is the dinner you made?”

“Mm-hm,” Su Yanxi answered softly. She took off her apron and placed it on the back of the chair beside her. She looked up at his handsome face, which was filled with disdain, and said unhappily, “Since you want me to cook dinner for you, you have no right to choose. If not, you can do it yourself. I won’t stop you.” With that said, she sat down and started eating, completely ignoring the man’s sullen expression.

“Su Yanxi.” A deep voice came from his thin lips, and a low and oppressive atmosphere instantly filled every corner of the dining room.

Su Yanxi took a bite of the noodles and looked up at the man’s handsome face that was even more colorful than a dye vat. She calmly said, “Don’t speak when you eat or sleep.” Then, she retracted her gaze and continued eating.

Lu Jingyan narrowed his eyes and a gleam flashed through them. He sat down expressionlessly and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Halfway through his meal, he saw Su Yanxi put down her chopsticks and wipe the corners of her mouth with a napkin. She then stood up, “It’s only right that I cook noodles. You wash the dishes. I’m going upstairs.” After saying this self-righteously, Su Yanxi left him with a beautiful back view and went to the living room to take her bag upstairs.

Seeing her graceful figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Lu Jingyan’s handsome face darkened. He had no appetite to continue eating. He threw his chopsticks onto the table heavily and frowned, expressing his intense dissatisfaction.

Su Yanxi, who had gone upstairs, suddenly felt very happy. The corners of her lips curled up as she found a set of pajamas from the cloakroom and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up and stepping out of the bathroom, Su Yanxi was stunned. She saw Lu Jingyan leaning against the bedside table with his upper body half-naked, staring at her meaningfully.

Ten seconds later, Su Yanxi instinctively looked down at her pajamas. After confirming that it was decent, she looked up at the man again, “What are you doing here?”
