While eating, Su Qing carefully eyed the man in front of her.

She has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and has seen many outstanding people, but the moment she laid her eyes on Lu Ziqian, his looks amazed her.

It wasn’t just his face, his entire body seemed to have a charming aura radiating off him.

His appearance isn’t the delicate type that everyone loves nowadays, his silhouette is sharper, and his body is slender and tall. Wrapped in a perfectly tailored suit, wide shoulders, narrow waist, and most importantly, long legs, which are extremely enviable. His entire body seemed to be shrouded with maturity and manly hormones radiated off.

And while conversing, no matter what Su Qing said, the man could catch up, perfectly demonstrating his rich knowledge.

He really is amazing!

Su Qing internally sighed, this only increased her suspicion and she became more vigilant towards Lu Ziqian.

Such an excellent man should be naturally arrogant. His knowledge and experience allows him to live a prosperous life even if his family is bankrupt, as long as he just goes out to find a job, instead of becoming a woman’s lover. Being bought by someone else just doesn’t seem possible for him.

After eating, it was dessert time, Xiang Wanwan’s favorite part of the meal. Sweet delicacies void of any greasiness were placed into her mouth. The soft and delicate taste, coupled with a cup of mellow milk tea, was supreme enjoyment.

Seeing that she liked it, Lu Ziqian pushed his share to her, and asked with a smile, “Do you like desserts? Then we can consider setting aside some time for afternoon tea .”

Xiang Wanwan looked at him, eyes glowing, and asked a little surprised: “You know how to make desserts?”

Lu Ziqian nodded: “However, it is limited to Western-style desserts. I lived abroad for a long time, so basic pastry and sweets aren’t difficult. Of course, you can always tell me what you want to eat, I’ll learn how to make it.”

Xiang Wanwan looked at him in amazement, “It feels like you can do everything.”

Lu Ziqian just smiled without saying a word.

The two talked, but their intimacy formed a wall making others unable to cut in. They haven’t even met for long.

Su Qing saw Lu Ziqian’s gaze and decided to pry further, with her bright red lips, she asked: “I heard that Mr. Lu’s family had an accident, and is struggling financially, so you accepted Wanwan’s unreasonable request.”

Lu Ziqian looked at her calmly,smiled, “That’s right.”

Su Qing shined a business smile back, “It’s not that I don’t believe in Mr. Lu, but such an excellent man like Mr. Lu, even without the help of others, shouldn’t have fallen so badly to the point of no return. You are admirable, I don’t understand why you would agree to be Wanwan’s lover?

Lu Ziqian showed a serious thinking expression, before replying seriously: “Probably because I’m  lazy, I like to gain without working hard.”

Although such words left his lips, there was no sign of shame on his face, he spoke frankly and openly.

“…”

He was the only one Su Qing had met that could expose themselves this openly.

Xiang Wanwan grabbed Lu Ziqian’s hand and said seriously: “Don’t worry, I have a lot of money so I can support you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like working hard, as long as you make me happy.”

Lu Ziqian immediately looked at her affectionately, “You are so kind Wanwan, but aren’t you scared you’ll end up spoiling me?”

“Spoiled?” Xiang Wanwan thought for a while, “Then I don’t want you anymore, I’ll find someone else.”

Lu Ziqian’s eyes sank slightly, a smile dimly formed on his face, and he whispered softly: “Wanwan, you are really a little scornful, I think I’m getting a little angry.”

“…” 

Keenly sensing danger, she immediately said: “Of course, I was kidding. Ziqian, you are so amazing, you are a good cook, handsome, and can make snacks for me, so I’ll never want to abandon you.”

Lu Ziqian laughed, pinching her soft hand with his fingers and rubbing it lightly, nobody could tell if he believed her or not.

Su Qing who witnessed this scene, looked at Lu Ziqian thoughtfully –perhaps, the one that needs to confess isn’t him.

In her eyes, there was something she shouldn’t be mistaken for, Xiang Wanwan is bound to win in any argument. It was obvious, Mr. Lu was extremely fond of Xiang Wanwan, even with a little affection.

But Xiang Wanwan hadn’t tasted love during her 23 years of living. So who would suffer the most from this meeting in the end?

Thinking of this, Su Qing couldn’t help but smile, and said, “Mr. Lu, you will probably be very tired in the future.”

Lu Ziqian smiled back, “No matter how tired I am, I think I will still be happy too.”

Xiang Wanwan didn’t understand what the two of them were talking about, so she focused her attention on the desserts on her plate.

And that’s how Lu Ziqian slowly poured into Xiang Wanwan’s life. Under normal circumstances, if two lovers live under the same roof for the first time, there will be a lot of friction and collision, and even some discomfort. But such a situation doesn’t exist for Lu Ziqian and Xiang Wanwan.

From that day she opened her eyes to see Lu Ziqian in the house, Xiang Wanwan did not feel any unpleasantness. Lu Ziqian always knows how to make Xiang Wanwan happy, and with him, Xiang Wanwan could only experience happiness.There was no sense of discomfort and Wanwan’s life only got sweeter and lovelier.

Everyday’s breakfast, lunch and dinner is done by Lu Ziqian. Of course, Xiang Wanwan wouldn’y just sit there and do nothing, even if she paid him, she still feels embarrassed to see Lu Ziqian working alone in the kitchen. Giving him a hand by helping next to him, her feet wearing soft slippers, following him step by step, tasting the food he handed over.

There will always be afternoon tea time. Lu Ziqian makes a variety of Western-style desserts. The perfect blend of cream and flour is too amazing. It is even more delicious than the dessert shops outside.

Of course, the calories in desserts like these are extremely high, so after a month, when she opened her eyes, Wanwan noticed that the meat on her stomach had become limp. To be precise, it had  become softer.

Unlike the other thin girls, Xiang Wanwan’s body has always been soft when pinched. Her skin is soft and tender to the touch. Lu Ziqian loves to pinch her at night due to that.

Of course, Xiang Wanwan was a little uncomfortable in the beginning, but the two have been sleeping on the same bed for a long time, and became accustomed to each other. Sometimes she would even touch Lu Ziqian here and there.

The temperature of the human body is really fascinating.

However, even with a round body, Xiang Wanwan has always been confident, she’s not fat at all. However, when she stood on the scale and looked at the huge “55kg”, she couldn’t help it and sucked in a deep breath.

TL/N: China and their beauty standards…

There is no doubt that she gained weight, in just one month, she gained ten pounds!

When Lu Ziqian returned from his daily runs, he was surprised to see the little girl who usually lazed on the bed in the living room at 7 o’clock in the morning with a serious expression on her face.

Lu Ziqian had a face of doubt, poured a glass of water and drank it, “Why did you get up so early today?”

Xiang Wanwan looked at him bitterly, and said, “It’s all your fault! I actually gained ten pounds!”

Ten pounds, it is simply intolerable.

Lu Ziqian sighed, “No wonder I hugged you lately, you feel much more squishy in my hand.”

Xiang Wanwan: “…Are you still laughing? I’ve gained ten pounds, ten pounds!”

She emphasized the word ten pounds, trying to show that it was a huge number.

Lu Ziqian looked at the things in the refrigerator and said indifferently: “Isn’t it just ten pounds? I’ll like you no matter how you look, and you look better if you are fat. What do you want for breakfast? How about fried dumplings?”

“Okay, I like fried dumplings!” Xiang Wanwan replied subconsciously.

“…”

“No, no fried dumplings, I want to lose weight! You can let me eat fruit yogurt!”

Lu Ziqian raised his eyebrows to look at her: “Are you sure?”

Xiang Wanwan nodded with a heavy expression, “Extremely sure.”

Lu Ziqian smiled, but he didn’t stop her, and said, “Well, if that’s what you want to eat, I’ll prepare it for you.”

When breakfast was served, there were two plates.

One with slightly burnt and soft fried dumplings, the other yogurt mixed with fruit.

Xiang Wanwan: “…”

She didn’t know if it was intentional, but one of the dumplings was punctured, its rich stuffing inside was completely exposed. The dumplings were big and full of fillings. Comparing the white yogurt next to the yogurt, oh god, Wanwan suddenly felt very sad.

“How can your breakfast be so rich?” Xiang Wanwan wasn’t happy.

Slowly putting a dumpling in his mouth, Lu Ziqian asked, “If you lose weight, does that mean I have to follow you too? It’s really unfair to me, Wanwan.”

When Xiang Wanwan thought about it, it was indeed a bit unfair. However, seeing Lu Ziqian eat so fragrantly, the yogurt in her mouth felt tasteless.

Lu Ziqian patted her head and said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. After a month of dieting, you will definitely lose weight. Come on.” Immediately after, he placed another dumpling in his mouth.

Xiang Wanwan swallowed her saliva, lowered her head and stuffed a large piece of yogurt fruit into her mouth, choosing to ignore it. However, even if she couldn’t see it, the scent floating in the air made her think that she was simply chewing wax in her mouth.

After finally eating breakfast, Xiang Wanwan washed the dishes and went to the kitchen to draw with a notebook.

A big-headed chibi male character in an apron placing a very generous amount of food in front of him, while opposite him, a chibi girl with only yogurt in front of her.

The contrast was indeed sad.
