Inside Lu Ruxue's presidential suite.
Lu Ruxue ate her food in small bites, her slow and deliberate eating style was elegant and charming.
Zhuang Wen whispered something to her from the side.
The content mainly consisted of his experiences that evening, what he learned about the customs and habits of Jianing City while chatting with the restaurant owner, and of course, what he knew about the taste of the food.
Lu Ruxue was naturally aloof and elegant, and she didn't talk much. She would only speak occasionally, either to chat for a few minutes or to ask questions when she was puzzled.
At this point, Zhuang Wen would usually patiently answer her questions, even citing numerous classical texts and allusions, making his answers vivid and engaging.
Although he only had a vague understanding, he couldn't resist Lu Ruxue's clear eyes that seemed to be "sincerely seeking answers," so he patted his chest and spoke with righteous indignation about his understanding.
With his silver tongue, witty and humorous remarks, and lively and expressive gestures, Lu Ruxue listened attentively and "agreed," her beautiful eyes filled with gentleness.
This scene resembles a heartwarming conversation between a couple.
And it was under these circumstances that the relationship between the two gradually and rapidly grew closer.
Half an hour later, Lu Ruxue put down her chopsticks.
"Are you full?"
Zhuang Wen asked a question.
"Mmm, I'm full."
Lu Ruxue's expression remained aloof, but her tone was quite gentle.
Zhuang Wen began tidying up the lunchboxes on the coffee table. Lu Ruxue watched quietly as Zhuang Wen busied himself, a sweet smile playing on her delicate brows.
Zhuang Wen neatly and efficiently cleaned up the lunchboxes, swept the coffee table, threw the trash into a garbage bag, and then sat on the sofa, staring intently at Lu Ruxue.
His eyes seemed to hold a strange, unspoken emotion.
Lu Ruxue's fair face flushed slightly. How could she not know Zhuang Wen's "filthy" thoughts?
She silently scoffed, her expression remaining cold and indifferent, and said calmly, "Go back to your room if you're not busy. You have to go to work tomorrow. I'm tired too, I need to rest."
Zhuang Wen's eyes widened. "President Lu, I brought you food back, and you didn't even say thank you. You should at least show some appreciation, right?"
Lu Ruxue said calmly, "Secretary Zhuang, thank you for bringing me dinner tonight. When we get back, I'll have the HR department adjust your job level and try to get you a higher salary. Now, can you go back?"
Zhuang Wen's lips twitched slightly.
In the past, he would have been "grateful," since he was getting a raise.
But now he has a big appetite and is no longer satisfied with this kind of reward.
"Mr. Lu, your gesture is a bit too little."
Zhuang Wen licked his lips, stood up from the sofa, slowly moved his feet, and approached Lu Ruxue with a wicked smile.
"W-What are you going to do?!"
A flicker of panic crossed Lu Ruxue's eyes, her face flushed red, and she muttered something under her breath.
At the same time, her slender body involuntarily shrank back, her two long, jade-like legs curled together, and her two lotus-like arms crossed in front of her, in a defensive posture.
This scene is just like the Big Bad Wolf and the Little White Rabbit.
Lu Ruxue's expression was aloof, but her eyes were filled with panic, and she looked quite pitiful.
This can evoke both pity and tenderness, and it can also unleash one's animalistic instincts.
That's Zhuang Wen.
"Howl!"
It was as if a wolf was howling at the sky in his heart, emitting a wild howl.
Once he put it into action, he pounced like a big bad wolf, heading straight for Lu Ruxue.
"No, no... don't do this, you..."
Lu Ruxue panicked. Seeing Zhuang Wen about to pounce on her, she quickly came up with a plan and said, "Go wash up first!"
"Um?"
Zhuang Wen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Ruxue, whose face was flushed and delicate, as if it were about to be burned by flames, and found that she was even more shy, and even lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhuang Wen again.
"good."
Zhuang Wen sniffed the mixed smell of alcohol, perfume, and cigarettes on his body, and he frowned deeply.
He himself didn't want to smell that smell, let alone Lu Ruxue.
Besides, she didn't want to get close to Lu Ruxue with that smell on her face, otherwise it would make her feel that she didn't value her and cause her to resist.
Zhuang Wen would never do something that could easily ruin all his previous efforts and damage his reputation.
But he was also worried that if he went back to his room to wash up, Lu Ruxue would simply close the door tightly and refuse to open it for him, and then his wonderful night would be wasted.
Therefore, after careful consideration...
"Then I'll wash up here."
Zhuang Wen turned to walk towards the restroom.
Lu Ruxue's expression changed, and she quickly stood up. Without even putting on slippers, she ran barefoot to block Zhuang Wen's way. "No, you go back and wash up!"
Why?
Looking at her tense and anxious expression, Zhuang Wen had a vague guess in his mind.
"No means no. Go back and wash up, then come back later!"
Lu Ruxue pouted her pink lips and firmly disagreed.
Zhuang Wen smiled, wanting to tease the other party on purpose, and said with a straight face, "You have to give me a reason, otherwise I will definitely go in to wash up tonight."
As he spoke, he made a move to walk around Lu Ruxue and enter the bathroom.
Lu Ruxue was extremely anxious, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said, "There are no toiletries for you inside, so you still have to go back and wash up."
Zhuang Wen's smile grew wider and wider, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at Lu Ruxue.
As if her little scheme had been seen through, Lu Ruxue blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll go back and wash up."
Zhuang Wen decided to stop teasing her; after all, a moment of passion is priceless and shouldn't be wasted in this situation.
Lu Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a straight face, "Okay, you should go back and wash up, it's getting late."
Just as Zhuang Wen was about to leave, he suddenly looked down and saw Lu Ruxue standing on the ground with her bare, white, jade-like feet.
Although the floor was covered with an expensive carpet, Zhuang Wen was still worried that the other person might catch a cold.
He bent down and picked up Lu Ruxue.
"What...what are you going to do?! No, didn't I tell you to take a shower first? Why are you in such a hurry..."
Lu Ruxue's face turned pale and red, her heart filled with anxiety and panic. She kept patting Zhuang Wen's back with her small hands, afraid that he would take her back to the room and go straight to bed.
"Don't move!"
Because Lu Ruxue kept struggling, Zhuang Wen had to use more strength to hold her, so he pretended to be serious, put on a stern face, and shouted in a low voice.
Lu Ruxue shut her mouth and glanced cautiously at Zhuang Wen.
Although she stopped struggling, she still looked wary, with her arms crossed in front of her.
Zhuang Wen found it somewhat amusing. Was he really that scary? Did they need to be so wary of him?
Once on the sofa, Zhuang Wen placed Lu Ruxue on it and let her stand on it.
Zhuang Wen pretended to glare fiercely at Lu Ruxue and said menacingly, "Remember to wear your shoes next time. If you catch a cold, see how I teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Behind him, a pair of clear eyes gleamed with a strange light, staring intently.
