Chapter 106
Li Zhen dared not look inside the studio, unsure of how many people were paying attention to them.
Li Zhen swiftly escaped from the studio.
Once outside, Li Zhen felt a sense of relief. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
She took out her phone, intending to hail a taxi, when she heard Lu Yanming's deep voice from behind, "I'll give you a ride."
"No need, Mr. Lu. I'm afraid I'll dirty your car," Li Zhen said, forcing a smile that didn't look pleasant.
The situation was simply awkward.
She didn't even spare a thought to how others might gossip about her and Lu Yanming.
"But aren't you worried about dirtying a taxi?" Lu Yanming's lips curled into a faint smile as he calmly observed her.
Li Zhen:...
Well, it seemed equally awkward in either scenario.
Li Zhen stood beside Lu Yanming's car, torn between lifting the suit jacket and sitting on the seat or just sitting down without bothering about the suit.
In any case, both the car and the suit would end up dirty.
Before she could think it over further, her body suddenly lifted into the air.
Lu Yanming carried her horizontally and gently placed her on the seat.
With a click, Lu Yanming fastened her seatbelt and said, "So, you were standing there without moving because you wanted me to carry you?"
Li Zhen's face turned slightly red, and she muttered softly, "No, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yanming chuckled lightly, walked around to the driver's seat, and started the car.
Midway, Li Zhen finally realized that she didn't have any sanitary pads at home and needed to buy new ones.
She didn't know if the suit was stained and she was even more reluctant to go to the crowded supermarket.
Li Zhen turned her head and looked at Lu Yanming, who was driving. "Mr. Lu, can you do me another favor?"
Lu Yanming's pale hand gripped the steering wheel as he glanced at her, peering into her clear and bright eyes.
Lu Yanming stood by the supermarket shelves, his gaze scanning the rows of feminine hygiene products.
He pondered for a while, uncertain about which one to buy. He took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen immediately replied: [Any one will do.]
Lu Yanming: [Circle the one in the picture.]
Sitting in the car, Li Zhen selected her usual brand from the photo Lu Yanming sent and sent it back.
His persistent messages made her feel even more unable to find a foothold for her anger.
The next day after work, it indeed rained heavily.
Lu Yanming sent a message, "I'm waiting for you in the basement. It's pouring, and I'll take you home."
She deliberately chose to ignore it.
An hour after getting off work, Lu Yanming sent another message, "Since you didn't come, I've already gone home. Don't worry about me."
Li Zhen had actually been worried that he would foolishly wait for her.
Lu Yanming was like a mind reader, always grasping the perfect measure and never burdening her too much.
On the third day, when she arrived at her doorstep after work, she found a thermal insulation box.
She opened it and found that it was filled with individually packed meals in thermal pots.
The fragrance wafted out, making the neighboring child cry from hunger.
Those thermal pots were all too familiar to Li Zhen.
They were from the Huayang Mingmen household.
And she was all too familiar with that fragrance.
Did Lu Yanming not go to work in the afternoon? He stayed at home and prepared the meals?
Li Zhen, her roommate, and her roommate's boyfriend couldn't finish the box of meals.
Lu Yanming was working so hard to ensure that she, his tool wife, wouldn't be lost.
"Mr. Lu, you have a wealth of life experience. How did you learn that girls need to drink brown sugar water during their period?" Li Zhen looked at his skillful actions and praised him.
"Zhen Zhen, your words sound like you're testing whether I've had a girlfriend before," Lu Yanming glanced at her, his gaze shallow.
"I'm just making small talk," Li Zhen evaded his gaze.
Last time in the kitchen, when she asked him if he had someone he liked, Lu Yanming only replied with two words: "You guess."
Li Zhen didn't know why, but she suddenly became curious about whether he had ever dated someone and if he currently liked someone.
This thought popped into her mind out of nowhere, making her itch to know the answer.
"Are we dating now?" Lu Yanming suddenly asked.
Li Zhen paused for a moment, "Of course not."
"Then I've never dated anyone," Lu Yanming took a bowl and added soup to it with a raised hand.
As he raised his hand, his sleeve pulled up, revealing his wrist with prominent knuckles. Faint veins floated and extended into the sleeve.
Every gesture exuded the unique charm of a charismatic man, accompanied by a blend of warmth and considerate husband-like qualities. Surprisingly, this harmonious combination of tenderness and assertive aura, infused with the hormones of masculinity, emanated from Lu Yanming.
