Chapter 1037 I made you eat a proper meal, you bastard!
“I’m actually quite hungry. If you don’t mind, I’ll have a meal with Mr. Lu.”
Professor Tong stepped forward and said with a smile, "Perfect timing, we can discuss the SR project in detail."
"..."
Lu Jinglan glanced at Professor Tong; he had no desire to eat with this gossipy old man.
Just as she was about to refuse, Pei Jinwu suddenly spoke up: "Okay, you guys eat."
"oh."
Lu Jinglan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and nodded honestly, "Then let's go, Professor Tong."
He had to listen to Miss Blank.
——
10 PM.
The smell on the shirt dissipated and no longer had a hypnotic effect.
Pei Jinwu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so she had no choice but to call Shang Shiyan.
Surprisingly, it indicated that the device was already shut down.
Shang Shiyan never lets his phone run out of battery, is he still busy?
Pei Jinwu frowned slightly, deciding to try again later.
She got up, poured herself a glass of water, and had just taken two sips when the doorbell rang.
I remembered Professor Tong saying earlier that he would bring her something delicious.
Thinking it was him returning, Pei Jinwu opened the door without hesitation.
The door opened.
A tall and imposing figure suddenly came into view.
"..."
Pei Jinwu stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the man who had suddenly appeared, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
"Surprised, Mrs. Shang?" Shang Shiyan had his coat draped over his arm, his shirt was wrinkled, and his tie was crooked.
They look like they came directly from a conglomerate.
"Bang--"
Pei Jinwu slammed the cup down, then leaped into Shang Shiyan's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist: "Why are you here?"
"miss you."
Shang Shiyan caught her steadily, tilted his head up and pecked her red lips, his voice hoarse: "Are you happy?"
"It's alright."
Pei Jinwu gave a haughty snort, feeling quite pleased with herself, knowing she wouldn't have to suffer from insomnia tonight.
"Just okay?"
Shang Shiyan carried her inside and placed her on the cabinet, his forehead pressed against hers, his voice seductive: "Then I'll perform well tonight and make Mrs. Shang truly satisfied."
"You're a demon, aren't you, Shang Shiyan?"
Pei Jinwu's cheeks flushed slightly as she hooked her arms around his neck, her eyes crinkling into crescents.
"Did I seduce you?" Shang Shiyan leaned down, just as he was about to kiss her.
The doorbell rang again.
His back stiffened, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face after being disturbed.
"Professor Tong brought me food."
Pei Jinwu immediately pushed Shang Shiyan aside and happily opened the door.
"Miss Blank".
Lu Jinglan stood at the door, carrying a bag full of food, a bright smile on his face: "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a man wearing a white shirt with the collar slightly open slowly walking over.
"?"
Lu Jinglan's smile froze instantly, and his gentle gaze turned sharp.
"And this is...?"
Shang Shiyan also looked him over, his thin lips slightly parted, and he spoke in a low, husky voice.
“Lu Jinglan is about to join Imperial University.” Lu Jinglan extended his hand, his eyes fixed on Shang Shiyan. “However, Miss Blank and I have known each other for more than ten years.”
More than ten years ago?
Oh, I knew him even before he did.
"Shang Shiyan, Miss Blank's husband."
Shang Shiyan raised an eyebrow, extended his hand in return, and smiled faintly: "We've known each other for many years, but we're probably not close, right? Otherwise, why have I never heard my wife mention you?"
That was a killer line; Lu Jinglan almost lost his composure.
yes.
All these years he has kept Miss Blank in his heart, but Miss Blank—
It's obvious he doesn't remember him.
“Miss Blank is quite busy.” Lu Jinglan remained calm and smiled. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Shang.”
So he's the husband who made Miss Blank eat takeout.
He looks presentable, but he's utterly inconsiderate.
The two held hands, looked at each other, and neither let go first.
"???"
Pei Jinwu stood to the side, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.
Is it necessary to be this intimate on a first meeting?
"Miss Blank, this is from the restaurant."
Lu Jinglan handed over the box, smiling as she said, "I asked Professor Tong, and it's all your favorite food."
Thank you.
Before Pei Jinwu could even reach out, Shang Shiyan took the box from her, his expression indifferent: "But Jinwu, can you still eat this?"
"Um……"
Pei Jinwu glanced back at the coffee table in the living room, which was covered with countless plates.
Even from a distance, I couldn't tell that the plates were high-end, with a certain brand's logo printed on them.
Lu Jinglan had the opportunity to see a restaurant while they were looking for one.
A city's top private kitchens are so expensive that even money can't guarantee you a table; you have to get a number.
So this is what Miss Blank meant by takeout...
"It's okay, I just got off the plane and haven't had time to eat yet."
Shang Shiyan placed the box on the cabinet, pulled Pei Jinwu to his side, held her waist, and said affectionately, "Wuwu, thank Mr. Lu."
"Need not."
Seeing the two so intimately connected, Lu Jinglan felt a lump in his throat, his eyes dimming: "Miss Blank, Mr. Shang, I'll be leaving now."
"OK."
Pei Jinwu nodded, closed the door, and craned her neck to see what Lu Jinglan had given her.
Before she could see clearly, Shang Shiyan pulled her back, trapping her between the door frame and his chest.
"We've known each other for over ten years, how come I've never heard you mention this before?" Shang Shiyan said, his voice low and husky, his hand gripping the girl's waist.
"?"
Pei Jinwu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I saved her by chance when I was a child. We only spent a few days together and then lost contact."
If Lu Jinglan hadn't shown up, she would have almost forgotten about him.
"I think his memory is pretty good." Shang Shiyan twitched his thin lips, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Benefactors and enemies are the most unforgettable." Pei Jinwu hooked her arm around Shang Shiyan's neck and blinked, saying, "Didn't you keep me in your heart every day back then, Master Shang?"
Can they be the same?
Shang Shiyan frowned slightly, recalling the years when the two of them killed each other.
Too much gratitude can easily lead to bad things.
He noticed something was off about the way Lu Jinglan looked at Wuwu.
What's the difference?
Pei Jinwu leaned over and kissed his thin lips, smiling like a little fox: "Didn't you not eat? Why don't you eat something first and then we can talk?"
"There seem to be a lot of desserts in the box. I want to try them."
"good."
Shang Shiyan's eyes darkened, and he picked up Pei Jinwu and carried her into the bedroom: "Let's have some appetizers before the main meal."
"Hello--"
Pei Jinwu frowned, her voice quickly drowned out: "I made you eat a proper meal, you bastard."
——
Two hours later.
After taking a shower, Shang Shiyan sat on the living room sofa in his bathrobe, eating the meal that Lu Jinglan had brought him.
snort.
That's really thoughtful.
All of them are flavors that Wuwu likes.
After eating.
He glanced at the sleeping girl, took out his phone, and searched for information about Lu Jinglan.
At such a young age, he has achieved a great deal.
He was recruited by several top universities abroad with incredibly attractive offers.
But he rejected them all and instead chose Imperial University, which had very average conditions.
It's hard to determine whether the fog is a contributing factor.
"Tsk."
Shang Shiyan stared at the exquisite dessert in front of him, a cold laugh escaping his throat.
Repaying a debt of gratitude?
They really know how to cater to people's tastes.
Shang Shiyan picked up a spoon and ate all the dessert that Lu Jinglan had given him.
Then he crushed the box, threw it into the trash can, and stomped on it twice.
He accepted Wuwu's gratitude on her behalf.
——
good evening.
