Chapter 23 How old is he?
Question: Will a top-tier Alpha experience indigestion if they eat sushi at 11 PM?
The answer was no.
Pei Wu prepared a roadside feast on the spot and ate it immediately, finishing two whole large plates.
Most of the seafood they had just bought was gone, leaving only a few fish roe sushi. Pei Wu garnished them with wasabi and took them out.
This is no different from what you get in a restaurant, Pei Wu thought to himself. In fact, he wasn't that skilled at handling seafood. Lu Xiwen had just taken a bite and frowned slightly, saying "fishy," but he still finished it off in the end.
Pei Wu didn't dwell on this because he was in a good mood.
To be precise, after leaving the lounge at the annual meeting, he was in a state where his heart was being lifted by clouds, his blood was flowing smoothly, and his bones were flexible.
It's like something I used to be attached to has completely become mine, and the compatibility with it has reached an astonishing 100%, which is extremely comfortable.
Lu Xiwen finished his fish roe sushi in a few bites and casually said, "It's late, are you staying here tonight?"
Pei Wu paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay."
He gradually became more familiar with the villa, and soon he knew how to use the high-tech gadgets in the kitchen. Even if an alarm went off due to an malfunction, Lu Xiwen wouldn't say anything. Pei Wu washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and made two cups of tea.
If the boss wants to work, he'll work like a beast of burden.
“You don’t have to worry about it,” Lu Xiwen said.
Pei Wu opened her notebook: "I'm just killing time anyway."
A few minutes after he finished speaking, President Lu's red envelope arrived. Pei Wu glanced at it but was too embarrassed to accept it in front of him.
“Take it,” Lu Xiwen said, pointing out his mistake.
"No rush."
Lu Xiwen: "I also have a bit of OCD."
Pei Wu lightly tapped the red envelope, and the numbers that popped up made her eyes widen.
Pei Zhu couldn't suppress a smile and said, "Thank you, President Lu."
Lu Xiwen gave a light hum, a smile playing on his lips.
They spent about forty minutes looking at the documents before returning to their rooms to rest.
Lu Xiwen took a shower, threw the clothes he had changed out of on the bed into the laundry basket, tidied the slightly messy table, then leaned against the headboard, wide awake. He opened the chat window with Lan Zhe: [Overtime?]
Lan Zhe didn't even reply, let alone read it; he seemed to be asleep.
Thinking about how he had been "exploiting" Lan Zhe recently, President Lu finally felt a pang of conscience.
But he still couldn't sleep and felt the air was stuffy.
Lu Xiwen walked to the window and naturally opened it.
The winter nights in Hongdu are no joke. As soon as you get a little altitude, the cold wind seems to find you with pinpoint accuracy. It's not fierce, but it's cold enough. However, top-tier Alphas are not afraid of this. Lu Xiwen straightened his messy hair with a cold face and opened his pheromone barrier.
A mere breeze.
The wind howled softly. The affluent neighborhood was sparsely populated. As far as the eye could see, the villas lay limply in the darkness, their closed windows dimly lit, and there was hardly any human presence.
Suddenly, Lu Xiwen's indifferent expression shifted slightly.
There is a room in the middle, and to the right is Pei Wu's guest room.
Perhaps feeling stuffy, Pei Wu opened the window a crack. The sound of slippers pattering on the wooden floor and a bathrobe brushing against the solid wood at the foot of the bed filled the air. Lu Xiwen felt that knowing too much about his own room wasn't a good thing. For example, right now, he could even roughly tell what Pei Wu was doing just by the sound and its distance.
Pei Wu walked to the coffee table, picked up a cup, and drank some water.
He drank a little too quickly, and some water spilled from the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand to wipe it away, but his neck was still wet.
no……
Lu Xiwen closed his eyes.
He was about to close the window when he heard Pei Wu clear her throat. A moment later, she softly hummed a tune, the rhythm soothing and the melody melodious and lingering, seemingly a traditional opera.
This kind of thing is too far removed from Lu Xiwen's world; the so-called cultural heritage has little left in their century.
At this moment, Pei Wu suddenly stirred up a breeze of the past, which drifted into Lu Xiwen's head and secretly went into his heart.
poisonous!
Lu Xiwen realized something and slammed the window shut.
Hearing the noise, Pei Wu stopped humming abruptly. He walked to the window and looked out through the crack, but saw nothing.
It must be an illusion. Pei Wu closed the window and went to bed.
Thick snow fell in the middle of the night, and all was silent. When I opened my eyes and drew the curtains, my eyes were stung by the snow.
Pei Wu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pushed open the window. Good heavens! The tires of his used car parked in front of the door were almost buried.
Pei Wu hurriedly finished washing up and went out, while Lu Xiwen was drinking tea in the living room.
"Hurry up and save your car," Mr. Lu kindly reminded him.
It wasn't that he was keen on watching the fun, but rather that he didn't have the car keys.
Pei Wu responded and rushed out the door, only to nearly trip and fall on the tiles at the entrance.
"They even jumped up so early in the morning," Lu Xi said, putting down his teacup and getting up.
Pei Wu descended a step, and her ankles disappeared instantly.
"Don't go." Lu Xiwen pulled the person back. "Security will come to clear the snow in a while. Let's clean it up first."
Pei Wu expressed his strong agreement.
Security arrived about ten minutes later in a small snowplow followed by people carrying brooms or similar items.
The cleanup was very quick. Pei Wu brought out the Chinese hamburgers, and they went to the next restaurant.
Before breakfast, Lu Xiwen said to Pei Wu, "Drive your used car into the garage later, and use mine for now."
Pei Wu felt something was off, so she drove into the garage to wait for him to get off work and take the bus home.
Lu Xiwen glanced at him and said, "I'm not going to the company today."
Pei Wu: "Why?"
“I’m taking a break,” Lu Xiwen said.
Pei Wu tentatively asked, "Should I also get a divorce?"
Lu Xiwen stared at Pei Wu for a moment, then said, "Assistant Pei, you are first and foremost my personal assistant, and only secondly the person in charge of some projects. Do you understand? When I'm at home, you have to take care of my meals."
Pei Wu understood: "Manage it!"
The weather cleared up a bit when they went out, and snowflakes were scattered here and there, sparkling in the air.
Pei Wu was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday. It wasn't very warm, but at least she was in the car most of the time.
Pei Wu didn't ask where they were going and sat quietly in the passenger seat.
Lu Xiwen had asked to drive, and his driving skills were steady. Finally, they stopped at a large shopping mall.
Saturday is crowded, but in a certain basement supermarket that caters specifically to the wealthy and where even the packaging is ridiculously expensive, you can hardly see anyone except the store clerks.
Pei Wu pushed the cart and followed behind Lu Xiwen. When she saw the price tag under a certain fruit gummy candy, she thought she was seeing things, so she moved closer.
A box costs 880 yuan. Did they add some kind of longevity juice to it?
Lu Xiwen stopped to look at him.
Lu Xi thought of Pei Wu's occasional displays of greed; he only owned a few designer clothes and his car was secondhand.
Pei Wu clicked her tongue in amazement at the price, thinking that only a fool would buy it. The next second, a beautiful, slender hand picked up the bag of fruit gummies and threw it directly into the shopping basket.
Pei Wu looked at Lu Xiwen, not understanding why this person wanted to do something, and looked at him with disgust.
Lu Xiwen then spoke up: "How old are you?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Pei Wu: "?"
Wait a minute, boss!
