Inside the presidential suite.
The warm orange light created a unique atmosphere in the room.
The atmosphere between the two people inside was cold and awkward.
Lu Ruxue stared at Zhuang Wen expressionlessly. Although her cheeks were still flushed, she couldn't hide the coldness in her eyes.
She pushed away Zhuang Wen's intimate behavior, crossed her arms, and distanced herself from him.
Zhuang Wen asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ruxue did not answer, but turned and walked towards the room.
Zhuang Wen frowned, even more puzzled.
What happened?
He really didn't know!
To find out the reason, he decided to follow Lu Ruxue into the room.
"go out!"
Lu Ruxue suddenly turned around and let out a cold, sharp shout.
Beneath the cold, clear, and pleasant voice, there seemed to be an undisguised anger.
Her gaze was icy and piercing, like the water of a frozen pool that had never turned to ice, instantly calming the aura within Zhuang Wen's body.
He couldn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way.
Wasn't everything fine just now?
I want to know why.
Zhuang Wen looked serious.
Lu Ruxue became even angrier upon hearing this.
Don't you know what you've done?
Not only did his breath reek of alcohol, but he also had all sorts of other unpleasant smells on him. I wonder who he'd been fooling around with!
She was about to be driven crazy by Zhuang Wen!
She felt betrayed.
It hurts!
It's so uncomfortable!
I feel so wronged!
I even felt an urge to cry!
What haven't I given him? Why is he still doing this? Is he really such a womanizer?
She sat on the sofa, fuming, her mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.
Seeing Lu Ruxue's angry expression, Zhuang Wen was even more confused.
He didn't leave, but stepped into the living room; he really wanted to know why.
The room was filled with a pleasant fragrance, and Zhuang Wen knew it was Lu Ruxue's natural scent.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him, and he instantly understood.
Was she... jealous just now?
Zhuang Wen gave Lu Ruxue a strange look, feeling somewhat incredulous.
But now is not the time to think about this, and I can't come up with an answer anyway.
The primary goal now is to appease Lu Ruxue.
Once he understood the reason, he wanted to explain it to the other party.
First, I wanted to appease her; second, I wanted to test her and confirm my suspicions.
He came to Lu Ruxue's side, took out the food from the bag, placed it on the coffee table, and thoughtfully took out chopsticks and handed them to Lu Ruxue.
Lu Ruxue watched coldly from the sidelines, her gaze icy and piercing, and she did not accept the chopsticks that Zhuang Wen offered her.
Zhuang Wen smiled and maintained the same posture, but began to talk about what had happened that evening.
"I went out to buy you dinner tonight, but I was feeling a bit irritable, so I went to a bar nearby, had a cocktail, and rescued a young office worker... Then a lot of beautiful women came up to chat me up, but I didn't agree because I was thinking about someone who was waiting for me to buy her dinner..."
Zhuang Wen recounted everything in great detail, as if he were talking about everyday matters. His voice was calm, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Ruxue, watching her cold and aloof face soften and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relax.
Zhuang Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, I guessed right!
"snort!"
Lu Ruxue glanced at the smile on Zhuang Wen's face, her heart skipped a beat, and she gave a soft snort, a hint of arrogance in her voice, thinking to herself that she couldn't let him get away with it so easily.
In fact, she already believed Zhuang Wen's words.
For some reason, she easily believed whatever Zhuang Wen said without question, without even a hint of doubt.
Perhaps this is the reason for her special feelings for Zhuang Wen.
Zhuang Wen smiled gently and said, "President Lu, I've explained the scent of the perfume I'm wearing to you. I really didn't lie to you. Can you eat now? It's not worth delaying your meal because of me. Besides, your food will get cold if you don't eat soon."
"You haven't explained yourself clearly yet. I don't know if you're lying to me or not. Just like now, you said you left, but who knew you didn't?"
Lu Ruxue slightly raised her pointed chin and stared at Zhuang Wen with a haughty air.
It has to be said that she is actually quite cute, after all, she has exquisite and perfect features, and looks good with any expression.
Zhuang Wen's lips twitched slightly. Why is he still holding a grudge?
But he immediately frowned and asked in confusion, "What wasn't explained clearly?"
Seeing that he wasn't teasing her like last time, Lu Ruxue asked in a clear voice, "Why are you in such a bad mood?"
Zhuang Wen suddenly realized, smiled to himself, then looked distressed and said, "It's because someone wouldn't let me in and insisted that I go buy food. I'm just a little annoyed."
He didn't tell the truth and reveal the real reason for his frustration.
If he really said, "It's because of our relationship, and you've shown me different feelings. I can't figure you out, and I'm also curious about our relationship," then there would definitely be an awkwardness between them, and this warm and romantic feeling would disappear completely.
This was a scene he didn't want to see.
Ultimately, he still believes that a marriage must be based on affection.
He was cultivating the relationship between the two of them for the future.
Although his relationship with Lu Ruxue was fake, he was still trying his best.
"Hmph, why should you be allowed into my room? Besides, I didn't ask you to buy food, so what's with your fuss?"
Lu Ruxue huffed arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu didn't make me buy it. I wanted to buy it myself. I wanted to please Mr. Lu. I was just mentally exhausted. Is that alright?"
