But Li Zhou had nowhere to go. Sun Xiaoya's matter made him unhappy. He wanted to leave his old circle and didn't want to see acquaintances, so he had no choice but to agree.
Shen Zhuyu smiled happily and tossed him a cookbook. "Good boy, learn to cook properly. Don't try to fool me. If I find out you're trying to fool me, I'll throw the food in your face!"
Li Zhou was furious. "How can you be such a woman?"
"Tsk tsk! That's why I say you're still young, young man. You should broaden your horizons more!" After saying that, Shen Zhuyu glanced at her watch, her expression changed, "Oh no, I'm going to be late, I have a meeting this morning!"
Chu Yu only participates in Mandarin's decision-making. She has too many companies and can't go to Mandarin often. Shu Lan is also at home recuperating and taking care of the children. Recently, Shen Zhuyu has been making the decisions about the company.
She has to attend a morning meeting every Monday, and it wouldn't be good to be late.
Shen Zhuyu hurriedly grabbed the keys, and before leaving, she added:
"Stay home and wait for me to get off work."
Li Zhou found these words strange, as if they made him sound like she was keeping a gigolo.
Li Zhou was still quite annoyed, but he didn't seem to know the woman's name. Li Zhou searched around the house and found Shen Zhuyu's passport, looking at the entry and exit stamps on the passport.
Shen Zhuyu has traveled to many countries, and her wardrobe is full of designer clothes, indicating that she is well-off and at least a senior executive in a company.
Li Zhou looked around and saw the photo of Shen Zhuyu with two girls. He vaguely remembered that last night he was clinging to Shen Zhuyu's car and those two girls seemed to be right next to him.
He must be her good friend.
Shen Zhuyu has many fashion magazines here; she must be a fashion designer.
After confirming her basic information, Li Zhou obediently picked up a broom, intending to clean. Shen Zhuyu said that if he lived here, he had to work, otherwise she would kick him out. Li Zhou could go back abroad, but he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't want to go back.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Sun Xiaoya either. He could call himself blind; he had been good enough to that woman. He didn't want to have anything to do with her in the future.
Li Zhou cleaned and wiped the house, and he really managed to clean it spotless.
It was already afternoon when Li Zhou finished cleaning. He glanced at the time and decided to go buy groceries and cook. He didn't know how to cook, but Shen Zhuyu had some recipes. After buying the groceries, Li Zhou followed the recipes and, albeit clumsily, managed to make a few dishes.
When Shen Zhuyu got home from get off work, she opened the door humming a song. She was stunned when she saw Li Zhoushi, and then she remembered that there was another man living in the house.
"You haven't left yet?"
Li Zhou got angry. "Didn't you ask me to clean and cook?"
Shen Zhuyu curled her lips into a smirk, like a female hooligan, "Oh, who knew you'd be so obedient?"
Li Zhou was even angrier.
"Alright, let's eat. Let me see what I made," Shen Zhuyu said, picking up her rice bowl. She felt a strange sense of satisfaction, thinking it was nice to have someone prepare a meal for her. Shen Zhuyu took a bite, and Li Zhou looked at her nervously. "How is it? How does it taste?"
Shen Zhuyu smiled and patted Li Zhou's head. "Very excellent and delicious."
Li Zhou blushed, angrily shook off her hand, took a bite of the food, and scrunched up his face. "It's awful! Let's eat out!"
"This won't kill you, we can't waste food. Sit down and finish your meal!"
Shen Zhuyu finished her meal calmly. Li Zhou was stunned. How could she eat such a terrible meal? She doesn't allow people to waste food. Could it be that she has experienced days of not having enough to eat?
Li Zhou frowned, but surprisingly didn't argue. He picked up his rice bowl and calmly began to eat.
After dinner, Li Zhou went to wash the dishes, while Shen Zhuyu lay on the sofa flipping through fashion magazines. Li Zhou glanced back at her; she was only wearing a long T-shirt with a pair of mid-length, fitted leggings underneath, the pants ending above her knees.
As she stretched her legs out, Li Zhou could see her long, slender legs and defined silhouette.
Li Zhou's face inexplicably flushed. It was strange; he had never felt this way before. He had liked Sun Xiaoya and had fantasized about her, but never with such clarity.
Half an hour later, Li Zhou washed the fruit and placed it on the coffee table.
Chen Zhuyu was taken aback and used a fork to pick up a piece of watermelon.
Watermelons aren't on the market yet, and they're especially expensive at this time of year. Shen Zhuyu rarely eats them; she suffered hardship in her youth and is used to a simple life.
"It's so sweet! You must have spent a lot of money on all this, right?" Dinner consisted of seafood, sea bass, and meat, which wasn't cheap. Chen Zhuyu took out some money.
"What!" Li Zhou's bad temper flared up again.
"For home use!" Shen Zhuyu was even more ruthless than him.
Li Zhou snorted, "I have plenty of money."
"It's your business if you have money. You live here and cook for me, so I can't expect you to pay for your living expenses, can I? Young man, stop saying 'I have money' all the time. I have more money than you and I'm older than you, so it's only right that I support you!"
Li Zhou choked for a moment; those words made him sound like a gigolo.
After dinner, Shen Zhuyu went to take a shower. Li Zhou looked towards the bathroom. Shen Zhuyu sang very well, her voice was sweet and quiet. She liked to sing while taking a shower. Through the glass door, Li Zhou could vaguely see her curvaceous figure.
Li Zhou felt a bit thirsty. He turned his back to her, thinking that this woman was a vixen, so carefree and unrestrained.
When Chen Zhuyu came out, she kicked Li Zhou's shin.
"What are you doing!" Li Zhou asked in a harsh voice.
"Get inside and take a shower! The water heater doesn't always have hot water! I'm going to unplug it later!"
Li Zhou was furious. He simply couldn't believe it. The property prices in Shen Zhuyu's neighborhood were extremely high, ranking among the top in Beijing, yet she couldn't even afford a water heater.
