CH 2

She woke up to an extra man in her house. A handsome man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a slender body.

Xiang Wanwan stood beside the stairs and looked at him. Her first thought was that a burglar had broken into the house and so she almost sprinted back to her room, hid, and called the police. Almost.

The ‘thief’ on the ground floor looked up at her and placed the freshly cooked casserole porridge on the table, “You’re awake? Just in time, come and have your breakfast.”

The man’s indisputable tone made whoever that listened to it unconsciously follow his words. When Wanwan snapped back to reality, she was already obediently sitting at the dinner table eating a sunny side up served on a white plate.

The temperature used to cook the egg was just right, with the glistening egg yolk and pristine egg white distinct, showing a beautiful sunny side up. The egg was cooked to the perfection; when poked with a pair of chopsticks, a golden hue of runny egg yolk would flow out.

Just thinking about it made Xiang Wanwan’s empty stomach grumble in protest.

She gulped, but suddenly the realization hit. Why am I listening to this person’s words? She didn’t even know who he was. What if he is a bad guy? Or a burglar?

“Wait, I’ll go bring the fried dumplings over.”

He walked into the kitchen as if it was his own home, and looking at his attitude made Wanwan question if she was the one in the wrong place. Maybe this is his house, and not her own. She couldn’t help but look around. Fortunately, the surrounding environment was familiar, which made her breathe out a sigh of relief.

All the dishes at home were bought by Xiang Wanwan herself. The light cyan patterns on the white background were very simple yet elegant, and the price of it was also very beautiful. One set had cost around fifty thousand dollars. And now, this set of tableware is being used to serve breakfast in the morning. The fried dumplings neatly stacked on the plate were fried to a rich golden brown. You can imagine eating such a fried dumpling. How heavenly it must taste when you bite down on it…

“You had two bags of frozen dumplings in the refrigerator, and I fried them. I haven’t really tried any, so I’m not sure of the taste.”

Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that it must be delicious!

Xiang Wanwan answered subconsciously in her heart.

As the guy sat down on the chair directly opposite Wanwan, he placed an untied apron aside. That apron was a gift from the supermarket for spending more than three hundred dollars. It was bright pink in colour and had very… interesting patterns.

As she thought of the man wearing this apron just now, Xiang Wanwan couldn’t help but cover her face to prevent laughter from escaping.

TL/n: Hun, a stranger is in your house-

“Eat.” He said, reaching out to pick up a dumpling with his chopsticks before stuffing it into his mouth.

The fried dumplings he cooked had a more burnt aroma than ordinary dumplings. As soon as you bite into it, the hot grease flows out instantly, with the delicious fillings and crispy dumpling skins delectable enough to send one to heaven.

Just by using her imagination, Wanwan could sense how delicious the dumplings were. But despite her hunger, she had the mental strength to force her greed down to avoid being hypnotized by the food. She puffed out her cheeks and asked, “Who are you? Why are you in my house?”

He proceeded to eat another fried dumpling. It was only then did Wanwan notice that he had already eaten five dumplings. As the majority of the dumplings on the plate were gone, anxiety filled her mind—leave me a few!

His moves were elegant, and with his thin lips he delivered the news, “You don’t remember? I’m the guy you offered to be the benefactor of.”

“…..Ha?”

The man introduced himself as Lu Ziqian.

Looking at her confused face, Lu Ziqian deduced that the little girl probably had forgotten all about what happened the previous night. “Eat first while it’s still hot. We’ll talk after we eat.”

Xiang Wanwan nodded vaguely, still not fully digesting the news she just heard.

A man she had offered to support? What the hell is this?

In the midst of her confusion, Xiang Wanwan didn’t forget about her hungry stomach. She picked up a fried dumpling with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

Delicious!

After she was met with the taste of fried dumplings, Xiang Wanwan’s eyes brightened. The fried dumplings were still hot; every part of it was burnt to perfection to create a perfect crisp. Everything then came together with the addition of the delicious filling inside.The taste was truly impeccable.

“You drank alcohol last night, so have some porridge. Eat something lighter.”

Xiang Wanwan didn’t expect Lu Ziqian’s kitchen skills to be so good. Even frozen dumplings could be made so appetizing. Having it together with a sip of the thick and sweet porridge made her empty stomach happy immediately.

After eating breakfast, Lu Ziqian stood up to put away the tableware. Xiang Wanwan had only eaten and done nothing, but she wasn’t shameless enough to let him do everything alone, and so helped put the plates nto the sink.

When Lu Ziqian started washing the dishes, Xiang Wanwan tapped her feet on the ground twice, and said: “You don’t need to wash the dishes. There is a helper at home who comes to clean up and cook every day.

Lu Ziqian rinsed the plate and placed it on the shelf, “I don’t like strangers coming into the house. Well, the cleaning can be done by the helper, but I can do the cooking. I don’t think my cooking skills are worse than the helper’s. At the end of the day, you are going to spend a lot of money to support me, so I should work hard.”

“…”

She really couldn’t recall what happened the previous night, and her secretary isn’t here to summarize it for her either!

After washing the dishes, the two sat in the living room to finally have a talk. Face to face.

Although she was the host, Xiang Wanwan sat with her legs close together, and her hands on her knees, looking very well behaved.

Lu Ziqian peeled an orange, divided it in half, and asked, “Want some?”

“Yes!” Without even thinking about it, Xiang Wanwan blurted her words out.

Lu Ziqian turned on his phone to view the online bank records and proceeded to show Xiang Wanwan the sum of money that he had received last night, “You spent five million to buy me last night. Well, this is the money you’ve transferred to me.”

“…”

Sure enough, it showed she was the one that transferred the money. Then that means she had actually spent five million to buy him last night?

“Oh, by the way, this is the contract you asked me to sign.”

He took out a piece of paper, and there it was in all its glory written in dazzling handwriting “Xiang Wanwan will spend five million to buy Lu Ziqian”, and at the bottom of the paper were the signatures of two people. Everything was there in black and white.

Xiang Wanwan swallowed her saliva, “Um… Well actually, I was just drunk last night…”

“So, now you want to break the contract and stop everything?” Lu Ziqian raised his eyebrows.

Xiang Wanwan shrunk back and said with a small voice, “No, no, no.”

Lu Ziqian tapped his finger on the sofa chair, and said, “Actually, it’s the first time I have been  bought by someone, and I don’t know what I should do. Miss Xiang, do you know what to do?”

Xiang Wanwan glanced at him cautiously, “Uh… um… so… Can I touch your body? Since I bought you, you have to listen to me, right? …If you are not obedient, I won’t give you any money.”

A sentence that was meant to be a threat had stutters and carried no strength behind it.

Lu Ziqian saw that the little girl’s white and tender face was red all the way to the root of her neck. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: “Of course. Since I am yours now, all of my body belongs to you too.”

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Xiang Wanwan tried her best to restrain her excitement and quickly pounced to touch Lu Ziqian’s chest. Immediately after, she blushed and squirmed to the side of the sofa.

Yes, indeed. His muscles really are very sturdy and smooth.

Lu Ziqian was amused by her childish actions. He didn’t think her actions were ambiguous at all.but Instead, he found it hilarious.

“Although we don’t know each other very well as of now, I believe that we will get along. So, what should we do on our very first day of the contract?” Lu Ziqian took it very seriously.

Xiang Wanwan plucked up some courage and said, “Why don’t you give me a kiss?”

“…What?”
