33 A Poisonous Tongue

After Yan had left, Lu Shen changed into a gray fine-knit sweater and a pair of black trousers.

It should have made him look homely, but it was her place that transformed into an international conference hall instead.

Hui Yin silently mourned. This guy isn't planning on staying over, right?

After drying his hair with a towel on the bed, Lu Shen suddenly looked up at her.

"Cook me dinner," he ordered.

His voice was commanding, brooking no argument. Hui Yin was sure it was the same tone he used when talking to his employees, but she was not under him.

She didn't have to obey.

"Cook it yourself."

Then she plopped herself into the sofa and turned on the television. Her favorite show was just about to start.

Lu Shen stared at the girl deeply immersed in watching the television, his eyes deep with unknown thoughts.

Ever since she had threatened him with her lamp and kicked him out of her apartment, he realized that this originally timid fiancée of his had changed. Before, she would cling to him and follow him everywhere, like a faithful pet dog.

But ever since that incident, he found out that he no longer understood her.

Although she was persistent before and annoyed him, the moment she got close to him, his body would instantly want her.

Which was why he avoided and ignored her, following strictly the principle of 'out of sight, out of mind'. He even thought of fucking her once just to get rid of whatever hold she had on his body, but every time they became more intimate, this girl would look frightened each time.

She enjoyed his touch and kisses; of that, he was sure of.

But the instant he expressed any desire to take it further, no matter how clingy she was, she would still quickly stop him.

Although Lu Shen was frustrated by this, he did not force her. They had gotten engaged as he promised, but staying together after they were married was not part of the deal.

When their wedding night was over and he had finally purged her out of his system, he planned to get a divorce and stay far away from her.

Lu Shen did not like to be tied down by a woman, and thought that those who stayed in marriage were fools. He would never allow a woman to have control over him like that.

Lu Shen broke his stare and looked away.

"I don't know how to cook."

Hui Yin turned off the television and sighed.

She really hated these rich, young masters.

Since everything was handed to them on a silver platter, they only knew how to sneer at the common folk working hard below them.

Jiang Xu was the only man she knew who could stay the same, regardless of whether he was rich or not. It did not matter what his status was in the society, he would still be a lazy bum.

Hui Yin opened her fridge and frowned.

It was empty.

Right, she hadn't gone grocery shopping yet because she didn't have enough money.

Sighing deeply, she took out two packets of instant noodles.

Being poor was really difficult.

After she was done cooking, she put a bowl of noodles on the table.

Lu Shen, who had replaced her position in front of the TV, heard the clanking of utensils and came inside the kitchen.

He immediately frowned.

"What is that?"

Irritated, Hui Yin grabbed her chopsticks and sat down in her seat.

"My Lord, what do you want? The eight culinary classics? Or the confinement diet?"

Lu Shen shot her a glare as he took his seat opposite hers on the table. He didn't expect her to prepare the eight culinary classics, but did she need to mention the confinement diet as well?

Confinement diet were only for women who had given birth. Lu Shen had no idea that aside from her change in attitude, this girl would have developed a poisonous tongue as well.

Not to mention his tongue was still stinging from her bite during their kiss.
