Chapter 102 You're Not My Husband (13) "Love Lunch"...
Late at night, the silvery moonlight shone on the castle's covered bridge.
The tall and handsome Alpha stood silently at the far end, moonlight streaming down from the side and casting a long, slender silhouette on the grass below.
The shadowy figure shifted slightly. Luo Ze turned to look at the respectful old man behind him and said in a calm tone, "I told you, you are not allowed to tell him anything. This includes not only Luo Ran's identity, but also my affairs." His voice carried a hint of sharpness, like a blade being drawn from its sheath.
"There will be no next time," he said solemnly.
The person standing in the shadows immediately bowed their head and replied, "Yes."
Alpha's dark eyes reflected the moonlight, creating a cold, silvery glow.

After spending a day feeling emo in her room, Fu Li cheered herself up again.
Early in the morning, Luo Ze took a car to the company. Before leaving, he instructed Lin Xi to keep an eye on Fu Li and not let him do anything "impulsive".
He was afraid that Fu Li would self-harm or commit suicide because of "heartbreak," but he never expected that Fu Li would use this impulse for something else.
After breakfast, Fu Li limped out of the room. Before she even turned around, she caught a glimpse of a man in black standing by the wall like a statue.
Fu Li showed no surprise, shrugged and smiled, and said "Good morning" to him.
Then I walked to the elevator and waited to go downstairs.
Lin Xi followed behind him, keeping a distance of two steps, his eyes fixed on the direction of the elevator door, his handsome face revealing a silent and resolute temperament.
As he went downstairs, the butler came up to him and asked him in confusion what he wanted to do.
The Beta youth responded with a cheerful laugh and said, "I want to cook a loving lunch for A-Ran myself and then deliver it to him!"
Fu Li believes that although her husband has lost his memory and forgotten everything from his past, there is still hope for him. As long as he is moved by her kindness and beauty again and falls in love with her, they can naturally dissolve their loveless business marriage, reunite, and live happily ever after.
So the young man spent the whole morning immersed in a self-satisfied, rosy bubble of self-pity.
With his mission accomplished, he begged the butler to take him to Luo Ze's company without telling him beforehand, as he wanted to give him a surprise.
The housekeeper was also in a dilemma. He was afraid that Fu Li would discover the truth that his lover and Luo Ze were not the same person as soon as he arrived, and he was also afraid that his sudden appearance at the company would cause unnecessary trouble.
But after the young man's repeated pleas, with his hands clasped together and sweetly saying "Please, please," the butler finally gave in and instructed the driver to prepare the car.
Lin Xi frowned upon seeing this. Luo Ze had instructed him to report to him no matter what Fu Li did. Just as he was about to take out his phone to report the situation, a slender white hand placed on the back of his hand. Looking up along that arm, he saw the Beta youth smiling at him, as if he had anticipated his actions.
"I already said it's a surprise, Mr. Bodyguard, please don't spoil the mood."
Lin Xi gazed at the handsome young man, his eyes flickering with light and shadow, before finally lowering his hand.
The young man cheered up, packed the food into a thermal container, wrapped it in a cloth bag, and went down to the garage with the help of the servant.
Two hours later, the view outside the window changed from the suburban jungle to the skyscrapers of the city center. Finally, it stopped in front of a building.
The reflective glass reflects the city's azure sky, its peaks soaring into the clouds and stretching as far as the eye can see.
Fu Li followed Lin Xi inside, looking around excitedly.
In the center of the lobby is a spacious and bright reception area, decorated primarily in cool colors and exuding a futuristic feel. The company name—Luxe Biotechnology—is engraved above it.
"Is this where Aran, no, Aze works?" Fu Li asked as she walked, finding it hard to imagine that a painter who once pursued freedom and romance would be managing a huge company and influencing the overall business landscape from his office.
As soon as they entered the gate, the pair of a limping Beta youth and a tall Alpha dressed in black immediately attracted a lot of attention. It wasn't until Fu Li, escorted by Lin Xi, entered the elevator and disappeared from everyone's sight...
The elevator slowly ascended and came to a steady stop on the 24th floor.
After the elevator doors opened, a spacious area unfolded, with meeting rooms of various sizes lining both sides of the corridor. Warm lights shone from inside, reflecting off the glass. At the far end was a one-way glass office, with a sign on the door reading "President and Chairman," and opposite were the assistants' workstations.
Fu Li walked to the door and knocked gently. A cold, clear voice came from inside: "Come in."
Luo Ze was sitting at his desk reviewing project reports when he thought his assistant had come to report on the schedule. But when he looked up, he saw a face as bright as a little sun, carrying a cloth bag and smiling sweetly at him.
The man stood up and walked around from behind the table. His cold eyes glanced at Lin Xi, as if blaming him for not reporting to him beforehand.
He then turned to Fu Li and asked, "Why are you here?"
Fu Li leaned back on the sofa, held up the insulated lunchbox in her hand, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm here to bring my husband a loving lunch."
Her tone was as sweet as chocolate mixed with honey, which made Luo Ze shudder slightly, and his face showed a little unease.
He coughed, made a fist with his right hand, and said, "Don't shout like that."
The young man nodded seriously and changed his words, saying, "That's not good, after all, in your mind we're not that close yet. So, Aze, do you like tomatoes?" Beta's little face was flushed, like cinnabar dyed into jade.
Luo Ze paused, seemingly lost in thought, and asked, "What did you call me?"
He had heard Fu Li call him "A Ran" and he had heard him call him "husband" but he had never heard the words "A Ze" from his mouth.
Lin Xi keenly noticed the change in Young Master Luo's expression; his eyes flickered subtly for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
Ultimately, this matter has nothing to do with him...
Fu Li smiled and called out again, "Aze."
Then, carefully observing his expression, she asked, "May I call you that?"
A faint blush appeared on Alpha's cool, fair face, fleeting like the sunset. He looked away, coughed lightly again, and his pale earlobes were slightly flushed.
He said, seemingly nonchalantly, "Ahem, whatever."
Fu Li leaned in and said with a smile, "Then you can call me Ali too."
I opened the cloth bag I brought and took out the insulated box inside. The box had two layers; the top layer contained three dishes and a serving of rice, while the bottom layer held vegetable soup.
Fu Li laid them out, hands on her hips, looking at her creations with a cheerful expression. Luo Ze, standing nearby, was dumbfounded—the dishes were either burnt pieces of meat in the stir-fry or gritty-looking vegetable leaves floating in the soup; not a single one looked edible. Let alone compared to the exquisite dishes that President Luo usually ate.
However, the person in front of her adopted an unusually confident demeanor, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "The ingredients in your kitchen are a little different from what I usually use. Although they don't look as appealing, the taste should be fine. Come on, eat." She thoughtfully placed chopsticks in the man's hands.
Actually, Fu Li didn't cook much when he lived alone before. But after he moved in with Luo Ran, Alpha took care of all the meals. He was completely a hands-off manager and a gourmet connoisseur.
However, in order to express her "love", she insisted on cooking a "love lunch" for her boyfriend herself today, without relying on anyone else. However, the final product was indeed unsightly.
As it turned out, this "love lunch" was not only unappetizing in appearance, but also tasted inedible. Loze only managed to finish it because he wanted to "not waste food."
After finishing his meal, he glanced at the expectant Beta with a cryptic look, gritted his teeth, and said, "The taste... was good. But next time, let the chef cook it."
Seeing the sweet smile on Fu Li's face, the system asked: "You were actually doing this on purpose, weren't you?"
Fu Li replied calmly, "Who told him to keep giving me attitude these past few days? Even if he has amnesia, he still deserves my revenge, right?"
system:【......】
After lunch, at Fu Li's request, Luo Ze finally agreed to let him stay and work with him.
Actually, I shouldn't have agreed to this at all, but for some reason, looking at Beta's expectant and adoring expression, I just couldn't bring myself to say no. So, it came down to something else entirely...
"Okay, but you can't disturb my work."
Although it's a bit of a headache, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for me, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Luo Ze sat at his desk working, while Fu Li toured the office alone. A small door led from the back of the office to a simple lounge area. A bed, only the size of a cot, sat against the wall. Both the office and lounge exuded a simple yet luxurious aesthetic, and were quite spacious. They even had sofas and coffee cabinets.
Thinking of the Luo family's enormous, magnificent, and luxurious castle, Fu Li couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, I didn't expect your family to be so rich, with such a large company. I'm truly envious."
Luo Ze heard the longing in his tone, and his fingers, which were holding the report, paused, pressing a deep crease into the paper. His deep eyes revealed an unreadable emotion, and his pupils deepened.
Fu Li's visit was not without ulterior motives. Besides finding Luo Ze, she also wanted to understand his current life and establish connections with his network of contacts.
An hour later, the purchasing staff arrived, carrying large bags of gifts. Fu Li went to each office, distributing gifts to the employees. Her bright smile and sweet voice made her very popular.
After he left, news of the mysterious Beta who entered the CEO's office quickly spread among the employees. Colleagues on the 24th floor praised his handsome appearance and high emotional intelligence, but at the same time, speculation about his identity began to circulate.
"Could she be President Luo's mistress? I saw her head straight to the president's office as soon as she arrived, followed by the head of the Luo family's bodyguard team. They obviously have a very close relationship with President Luo."
"This seems to be the first time an outsider has entered President Luo's office, aside from work-related matters."
"How could that be? Have you forgotten that Miss Willy came here too?"
"Right, wasn't it said that Miss Willie was Mr. Luo's fiancée? Then what's with this Beta? Is he really Mr. Luo's lover? Isn't that a bit too blatant?"
"But he's a Beta! Do you really think President Luo would be with a Beta?"
"That's why we call them lovers. Everyone knows that President Luo is already engaged to Lilith Willie."
"But I think that Beta is pretty good. And judging from President Luo's attitude, he's very indulgent towards him. I just saw him dragging President Luo along to visit the company cafeteria, and President Luo didn't refuse! They've probably arrived by now."
"Indeed, I'm in the cafeteria. That mistress is looking at the menu. President Luo's face is as black as the bottom of a pot, probably because he's in a hurry to get back to check the reports, but he didn't even leave!"
"Outrageous!"
"I remember Miss Lilith is coming to the company today, isn't she?"
"Oh, really? That's going to be interesting."
"Add one more to the list of people who want to watch the show!"
Author's Note: Everything happening now is paving the way for the crematorium in the future. The countdown to President Luo's downfall has begun.
