Chapter 107 - Invitation

As she came out of the elevator, Song Xing Xing was surprised to see that the security around the apartment was still tight and the number of guards has not decreased. 

One of the guards walked over to her and greeted, "Miss Song, good morning."

Song Xing Xing nodded. "Good morning."

The guard let out a dry cough before he spoke again, "Miss Song, President Lu Xun is here to pick you up."

Her steps halted. Seeing that the guard was not joking around, Song Xing Xing quickly went over to the entrance. Just like yesterday, the man's vehicle was parked at the same spot.

The moment she showed up, Lu Xun stepped out from his vehicle. 

Song Xing Xing watched as he walked around the car and flashed a smile at her. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up."

Song Xing Xing gave him a puzzled look. "Didn't you say that they have found Bai Zhi? You don't need to come over and pick me up, right?"

Hearing her questions, the corner of his lips started to twitch. "Just because they have found Miss Bai, I can't come over and pick you up?"

"That's not it," Song Xing Xing spoke up quickly. "It's just that, I remember that your place is on the other side of the city. If you come over to pick me up, wouldn't that be too much hassle?"

Song Xing Xing had followed Song Yi to Lu Xun's residence the other day and knew where he was living. His place was too far away from her. When he comes over to pick her up, he would have to drive for a long way before he could arrive at his office.

Yesterday, he had reasoned that he had to be responsible as he was the reason that Bai Zhi was targeting her. However, things were different now.

A helpless sigh escaped him. "Song Xing Xing."

"Ah?"

Lu Xun walked over to her and stretched his hand to touch her head. Feeling the girl's soft hair under his palm, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. "Did you forget?"

The puzzled look on her face deepened. Song Xing Xing tried to think if she had previously made a plan with Lu Xun, however, she could not think of anything. It doesn't seem that she had forgotten anything, right?

Lu Xun leaned forward and spoke. "I'm chasing you."

The man was too close. His tone lowered and because of this, his voice sounded a little mesmerizing. 

Her heart skipped a beat and soon, she could feel the heat rising to her face. 

His action and words were giving her a heart attack!

Lu Xun turned around and helped her with the door. He moved slightly to give her some space to come into the car. Then, he walked around the car again and slid into the driver's seat. Before he started the car, Lu Xun turned around and took out a paper bag.

Song Xing Xing stared at the paper bag in his hand. The smell of something delicious wafted to her nose. "This is… for me?"

"En." Lu Xun nodded. "Your breakfast."

After a brief hesitation, Song Xing Xing took the paper bag in his hand. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Seeing that the man had already turned around to focus on his driving, Song Xing Xing took the chance to look into the paper bag. Her eyes sparkled with joy upon seeing that it was the same meat buns and a cup of soybean milk from yesterday.

Her mouth started to salivate as recalled the taste of the fluffy bun and the fragrant meat.

A satisfied sigh escaped her the moment she took a bite.

"Is it good?"

Looking up, Song Xing Xing caught Lu Xun glancing her way with a faint smile on his face. She nodded slowly and swallowed the food in her mouth. "It's good. I have been meaning to ask… President Lu, where did you buy this meat bun? It tasted very good."

"I didn't buy this from any place," Lu Xun said. "The auntie at my place made them."

Song Xing Xing could not hide her disappointment upon knowing that could not get this delicious meat bun from any shop. She had thought that she could visit the place and look at other menus that the shop had prepared as well.

Does this mean that she will have to ask Lu Xun if she wanted to eat this meat bun again?

Song Xing Xing decided that she should eat her breakfast and savor them properly. Who knows when will it be the next time she would get to eat them?

"The auntie at my place is really good at cooking." 

Song Xing Xing turned as she heard him speak.

"Other than meat buns, she's also good at cooking other food as well."

Her eyes narrowed as she was suspecting that this man was boasting that he could eat delicious food every day to her. 

It's good to have a lot of money. He could afford to employ a great chef to cook for him as well. At this time, Song Xing Xing began to miss the auntie at the old residence in Y City as well. Her cooking was too good that a simple plain porridge could taste very different.

Why did she choose to live away from Y City? If she stayed by her parents' side, she would not have to worry about food or money as well.

"Next time, when you come over to my place, I will let you try her cooking," Lu Xun said. "Mmm... Auntie is good at cooking seafood as well. You should try her spicy crayfish."

Song Xing Xing was taking another bite at the bun when she heard his words. Her movement halted and Song Xing Xing stared at him with a dazed expression.

Mmm... Spicy crayfish. Her mouth was salivating as she thought about it. 

No. Wait! Her thoughts are all wrong!

She shouldn't be thinking about spicy crayfish!

Song Xing Xing tried to recall his words again.

Just now… was he inviting her to come over to his place? 

Her heartbeat accelerated as her mind started to run wild with different scenarios. 

"Moreover..." Lu Xun paused as he turned to look at her. "Song Xing Xing, are we not close?"

How should she answer this question? No. Why was he asking her this question?

"You can call me Lu Xun."
