Chapter 599: Dodder Rich Girl (6)
"My dear daughter! Did Zhu Ximo send you flowers today?" As soon as Father Lu entered the door, he started shouting loudly, "Haha! I knew that boy was interested in you..."
Lu Shichu said helplessly: "Dad, why are you so happy? Aren't you afraid that he is pursuing me with ulterior motives?"
Father Lu waved his hands and said, "He is so rich himself. If he doesn't really like you, would he be willing to put himself in such a difficult position? Besides, even if he really has ulterior motives, you can just break up with him. After all, it's just a relationship and you haven't gotten married yet. Even if you get married, you can still get divorced. What are you afraid of?"
"..." Lu Shichu was speechless. His father was quite open-minded, but he didn't know why he was so obsessed with finding a son-in-law.
"Dad, do you mean you don't mind Zhu Ximo pursuing me?" Lu Shichu asked.
"I don't mind, I don't mind. If a poor boy was pursuing you, I would worry that he was after our family's money. But Zhu Ximo, maybe he is richer than our family, what can he cheat you of? If he wants to lust after you, he is not bad looking himself, and you, my dear daughter, will not suffer any loss." Father Lu became more and more excited as he spoke.
"In that case, then daddy, I'll have some fun with him." Lu Shichu raised her eyebrows and said. She didn't expect her father to be more open-minded than she thought. Then she didn't need to be so reserved. After all, Zhu Ximo was also a top-notch man, and it was not a loss for her to have a relationship with him.
However, Father Lu was worried that his innocent daughter would not be able to outwit the shrewd Zhu Ximo, so he reminded her, "Zhu Ximo is an excellent man picked out of thousands. You may not be able to control such a man, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are happy. If he makes you sad, tell Dad, and Dad will seek justice for you."
"Okay!" Lu Shichu was immediately relieved, she had her father protecting her.
After that, Zhu Ximo sent a lot of messages to Lu Shichu, all of which were words of concern or love. Lu Shichu sometimes suspected that these words he sent were a collection of love words he found on the Internet, because they were either too corny or too stiff, and did not fit in with Zhu Ximo's personality at all. Lu Shichu did not believe that he would be a man who would say those sweet words to women.
However, Lu Shichu was not very sincere. She copied a lot of cheesy love words from the Internet to reply to his messages, playing the role of a "simple" woman who went from being shy and unbelieving to gradually becoming addicted to this pursuit. This should be in line with Zhu Ximo's imagination of Lu Shichu, because Zhu Ximo sent messages more diligently and more fluently. In just a few days, he "charmed" Lu Shichu and made her agree to be his girlfriend. This was a fast progress.
In the chairman's office of Shenmo Group, Zhu Ximo put "The Collection of Love Words - Hand-in-hand Teaching You How to Fall in Love" back on the bookshelf filled with various business books. Then he opened a shopping message on Taobao and gave the book a good review: "It is very practical. Following the love words written in the book, I successfully pursued my target in just five days."
Lu Shichu guessed wrong. Zhu Ximo did not copy the collection of love words on the Internet, he copied it from a book.
These two were both hypocritical people, but they quickly got together and started a relationship with their own ulterior motives.
This was Zhu Ximo and Lu Shichu’s first date. They went for dinner first and then to a movie.
Lu Shichu looked at the tempting braised prawns on the table, his eyes lit up, and he said to Zhu Ximo coquettishly, "Ximo, I want to eat shrimp."
Zhu Ximo, the straight man, said directly: "Then eat it. If it's not enough, you can order more."
Lu Shichu continued to stare at him without blinking, without moving. Zhu Ximo paused, picked up the chopsticks, tentatively put one into her bowl, and said, "I'll get it for you."
Lu Shichu glanced at the prawns in the bowl, pouted, and said unhappily: "But I don't want to peel the shrimps myself, it will dirty my hands. At home, my dad peels the shrimps for me..."
Zhu Ximo froze for a moment. Only now did he understand what Lu Shichu meant. He was asking him to peel shrimps, but Zhu Ximo was a mysophobe. He usually didn't eat shrimps or crabs because he didn't want to peel the shells, except for the shrimp meat of course. Now he was asked to peel shrimps for Lu Shichu, and he was very unhappy.
Seeing that he had been stunned for such a long time without doing anything, Lu Shichu knew that he didn't want to help her peel the shrimps, but she insisted on forcing him, so she said with her big sparkling eyes, "Xi Mo, didn't you say that as long as you are with me, you will hold me in your hands and pamper me? Why don't you even want to peel shrimps for me now?"
Zhu Ximo didn't expect to be tricked by the love words he had written at the beginning. In order to maintain his character, he had to hold back the discomfort in his heart, showed a very "happy" smile, and said: "I'm not unwilling to peel the shrimp, I was just thinking about how to peel it better."
"That's great, I knew you wouldn't be unwilling to help me peel the shrimps." Lu Shichu smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents, hiding the light of a successful prank in her eyes.
So Zhu Ximo had no choice but to peel the shrimps wearing disposable gloves. His movements were clumsy and slow, and it was obvious that he rarely did this kind of thing. He spent several minutes peeling without even finishing a single one. However, Lu Shichu pretended not to notice his awkward movements and did not call for a stop.
Zhu Ximo patiently peeled seven or eight prawns for Lu Shichu, but he couldn't bear it anymore and quickly used the excuse of going to the bathroom to avoid this work.
After Lu Shichu made fun of him once, he never teased him again. However, Zhu Ximo was probably traumatized. From then on, whenever he ate with Lu Shichu, he would never order food with shells such as shrimps and crabs as long as he was the one ordering.
After dinner, Zhu Ximo and Lu Shichu went to the cinema.
"What kind of movies do you want to watch?" Zhu Ximo asked, looking at the movie posters around him. "There are romance movies, action movies, science fiction movies, and horror movies."
"Of course, it's to watch a romantic love movie." Lu Shichu took Zhu Ximo's arm and said shyly with her head buried in his shoulder. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but shudder. Pretending to be a big-breasted, brainless, stupid daughter sometimes even made herself sick.
Zhu Ximo noticed her shivering, and immediately remembered the "romantic move" in the book that if a girl is cold, you should give her your coat. So he asked Lu Shichu with concern: "The air conditioner here is a bit high, do you feel cold? Wear my coat."
As he said that, he took off his suit jacket and put it on Lu Shichu.
Lu Shichu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this guy could copy the love secrets and be reliable one day. So he looked at him very touched and said, "Ximo, you are so considerate. I have never seen a man as gentle as you."
Zhu Ximo curled the corners of his mouth and was in a particularly good mood. Although he thought Lu Shichu was a fool, she was beautiful, and her pair of watery eyes looked at him affectionately. He couldn't help but want to do everything she wanted.
