Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 231: I Brought You a Boxed Meal

Zhuang Shuqing silently pursed her lips. Only after the crowd had dispersed did she make her way back to her seat, by which time Lin Xiaoxiao had already regained her composure.

"Shuqing, you’re back," she said with poorly concealed joy. "Was it Jinyang who called you over just now?"

"Mhm."

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t hide anything, since she was sure Mr. Gu would have said goodbye to them before leaving. Plus, there was no need to lie in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.

"So... have you two made up?"

Zhuang Shuqing glanced at her indifferently and sat down, nonchalantly saying, "Don’t couples always make up at the bed’s end after arguing at the bed’s head?"

Lin Xiaoxiao’s face stiffened and she laughed awkwardly twice. "Is... is that so? That’s good then."

As an adult, how could she not understand the implication behind Zhuang Shuqing’s words?

She pursed her lips and buried herself in work.

Without a word from Lin Xiaoxiao, Zhuang Shuqing naturally didn’t initiate any conversation either.

It wasn’t until noon when she was about to get off work that her phone rang - it was Lu Jinyang.

She picked up the call, and before she could speak, a deep and pleasant voice like a bass tone came from the other end.

"Come over," he said.

Zhuang Shuqing subconsciously refused, "I’m going to the cafeteria to eat."

"No need, mother had someone bring food over."

Zhuang Shuqing: "...Okay."

When Lin Xiaoxiao was about to leave and saw Zhuang Shuqing still sitting at her desk, she called out to her, "Shuqing, aren’t you going to eat?"

"Oh, I still have some things on my hands, I’ll go later."

"Then I’ll go first."

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao left, Zhuang Shuqing grabbed her bag and headed towards the General Manager’s office.

Upon opening the door, she saw the office’s coffee table filled with dishes, their aroma alone was enough to whet one’s appetite.

"Come here," he said.

Lu Jinyang stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, waving her over. Reluctantly taking her eyes off the enticing dishes, she slowly made her way to him.

Standing before him, her eyes shone as she looked at him, "Where did you buy this? It looks delicious."

Lu Jinyang glanced at the dishes behind her. "Mom had the family chef prepare it, said it was to nourish you," he explained.

Zhuang Shuqing’s face flushed at once, recalling the look her mother-in-law gave her that morning, which had been embarrassingly intense.

"I’m hungry," Lu Jinyang said, looking at Zhuang Shuqing.

Overjoyed, she exclaimed, "Then let’s eat—mmm mmm mmm..."

Gazing at the handsome face close to hers, Zhuang Shuqing trembled inside, quickly realizing that his idea of "eating" meant something else entirely, and she was on the verge of tears.

His lips left hers, slowly moving from her mouth’s corner down to her collarbone, nibbling and biting.

Zhuang Shuqing whimpered, her slender hand gripping the hem of his shirt, "You... don’t... don’t do this..."

Lu Jinyang looked up, met her dazed eyes, and without restraint, kissed her lips again...

Ten minutes later

Zhuang Shuqing, with her face blushed like peach blossoms, sat on the sofa beside the coffee table, eagerly eating her meal while occasionally glancing toward the resting room.

Finally, the firmly shut door opened, and Lu Jinyang walked out refreshed.

He looked considerably more relaxed than when he had entered, but his gaze upon her was even deeper.

Unable to endure such intense scrutiny, Zhuang Shuqing coughed twice, "If you don’t eat now, the food will get cold."

"If the food gets cold, you won’t be able to escape," he implied, meaning that if the food was no longer edible, he would only have her to "eat" instead.

Zhuang Shuqing blushed, giving him a sidelong glance. "Speak properly," she chided. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Lu Jinyang didn’t say another word and unexpectedly began to eat in silence.

"Knock knock knock~"

There was a knock on the office door. Zhuang Shuqing looked toward him, and he likewise looked back at her.

Receiving no response, the knocking persisted, accompanied now by the coy voice of Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Jinyang, have you had your meal? I brought you a lunchbox, it’s from the restaurant you like the most."
