Lu Xi subconsciously retorted, "But when your identity is made public, my relatives will definitely come to you. A rich man lives far away in a remote mountain..."

Fu Nanzhou suddenly lowered his head and kissed Lu Xi, swallowing everything she was about to say.

But just for a moment, he let go of Lu Xi.

Although he was reluctant, Fu Nanzhou just wanted Lu Xi to stop saying those words, as his confession was not complete yet.

"Xixi, I'm not afraid. They can come looking for me. If I can't even handle these, I can't manage the entire Fu Group."

It must be said that these words made Lu Xi's heart move. Faced with such an outstanding man confessing his love to her, she couldn't be as resolute as before.

But Lu Xi was also afraid that she would be impulsive, so she didn't give in.

Fu Nanzhou didn't make things difficult for her. As long as she didn't insist on getting a divorce, he still had a chance.

He has always been able to control others in the business world, and now in love, he is really being taken advantage of, but he has no idea how to deal with it.

The couple returned to the villa and cooked together. It was already early in the morning when they started eating, so it really became a midnight snack.

It was a very ordinary home-cooked meal, but both of them ate it with gusto.

Lu Xidao didn’t notice it before, but now that she knows Fu Nanzhou’s identity, she finds it incredible that Fu Nanzhou likes scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

Noticing that the girl next to him was biting her chopsticks without moving, Fu Nanzhou glanced over and met the girl's clear and dark eyes. He couldn't hide his curiosity.

Fu Nanzhou couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you eat? Am I better than food?"

It was originally a joke, but because of the magnetic nature of Fu Nanzhou's voice, it had a hint of bewitching.

Lu Xi's heart trembled, "Fu Nanzhou, do you like these? There is minced garlic in the cucumbers, don't you find it smelly?"

Fu Nanzhou chuckled, "It does taste good, but so what? I'm also a human being, and I also eat grains. I'm not much different from you."

"But in the novels I read, the heirs all like red wine and steak, and they all like Western food."

Fu Nanzhou picked up a piece of egg and put it in his mouth. "I like food that is fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, steamed, boiled or stewed. We are a great country with eight major cuisines and 134 kinds of snacks. We can't even eat all of them. Why should we be so fond of steak?

"Besides, we eat so well. Take this fried tomato and egg for example. Whether you put sugar in it or not, and whether you eat it with rice or noodles, the flavor is different. It satisfies my stomach better than steak."

Lu Xi blinked, "That seems to be true. Do you like rice? I like to put scrambled eggs with tomatoes on top of rice and eat it with a spoon."

Fu Nanzhou shook his head. "I like white rice because it is white rice. Each grain is distinct and not stained with dust."

Lu Xi laughed out loud, "Then you really missed the fun of rice bowl. A tomato scrambled egg, a fish-flavored pork shreds, and a braised eggplant with minced pork are all very suitable for rice bowls. When I was in high school, our school had a cafeteria, but I liked the snack bar at the school gate because the rice bowl there was large in size and I could eat it in two meals and feel very full."

Fu Nanzhou felt distressed when he heard this, and his voice became a little hoarse, "You don't have to save money in the future, just eat whatever you want, your husband can afford it."

Lu Xi curled her lips, "I can support myself, I can earn money myself."

Fu Nanzhou cooperated very dotingly, "Yes, Mrs. Fu is lucky in fortune and can win the grand prize."

This sentence made Lu Xi laugh.

After dinner, they cleaned up together and went back to their rooms.

Fu Nanzhou was a little reluctant to leave, "Mrs. Fu, wait a minute, can you..."

"Good night!" Lu Xi went back to the room without waiting for him to finish, and closed the door in one go.

Fu Nanzhou was stunned. He just wanted to ask if she could have a goodnight kiss, but her reaction was so intense?

But when I think about it carefully, the food tonight doesn't seem to be suitable for kissing.

**

That night, Lu Xi couldn't sleep.

She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. She always felt like she wanted to talk to someone, so she took a close-up of her hand and sent it to Zhuang Yi.

Zhuang Yi is a night owl, so she was definitely not asleep at this time. When she saw the photo, she jumped up and started video bombarding everyone with messages.

"Fuck, where did you get that from?! Did my uncle give it to you?!"

"Well, he said he bought it when he was on a business trip."

Zhuang Yi curled her lips, "Jealousy makes me ugly. I'm so envious of this big diamond ring. It was mainly given by my uncle. He actually thought of giving you a diamond ring. It's not easy. It's like a blockhead suddenly coming to his senses."

Lu Xi lay on the bed, looking at the ring on her finger. Under the flickering light, the diamond was blindingly bright.

No wonder everyone likes diamonds, because they really sparkle, and their brilliance is unmatched by anything else.

"Xixi, what do you think? My uncle gave you a diamond ring, so he must want to make peace with you, right?"

Lu Xi was a little confused. "I don't know. Fu Nanzhou knelt on one knee at that time, and he knelt down when he was nervous. I felt bad."

"Pfft...it looks like you're really nervous."

Zhuang Yi was so happy that he could never imagine his uncle being like that.

"I felt really bad when I saw Brother Jiang peeling an apple for Sister Youran."

Lu Xi was chatting with Zhuang Yi because she was confused and couldn't make up her mind.

Zhuang Yi sighed, "We really share the same fate."

Lu Xi was surprised, "What's wrong with you?"

"Brother Jiang."

Zhuang Yi leaned on his arms and said in a muffled voice, "I found that since you knew about it, I can't hide it like before.

“When I see Brother Jiang and Sister Youran together, I feel uncomfortable and want to escape.

"I have been suffering from insomnia these past two days, and I can't help but think of how good Brother Jiang was to me. You know, when I had my period in junior high school, there was no one around me, and it was Brother Jiang who bought me sanitary napkins.

"He always treats me like a child, urging me to go to bed every day and not stay up late. The day before my period, he would warn me not to eat ice cream secretly.

"If I go out drinking, he'll always appear and take me home.

“I always feel that there is a subtle tacit understanding between us, but every time I have that feeling, I find that he is with Sister Youran, and it’s like a bucket of cold water pouring down on me.

"Xixi, this is so torturous."

Secret love is painful, and it becomes more painful as time goes by.

Lu Xi asked: "Have you ever thought about liking someone else?"

Zhuang Yi was so angry that she laughed, "Fuck you, can you change this thing just like that? I want to change it, but don't I still like him? Just like my uncle, why don't you find someone else you like?"

Lu Xi was so angry that she laughed. How did she come up with this sentence?

"Then why don't you take the initiative? I saw a sentence online a few days ago, saying that when it comes to dating, girls should take the initiative, otherwise they will only end up with scumbags, because serious boys won't chase girls at all."

Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You've obviously not been smart enough lately. You said it yourself that you're a little boy. Brother Jiang is 31 years old, okay?"

Lu Xi disagreed, "What's wrong with being 31? He's still a primary school student when it comes to love. If he knows how to seduce girls, how could he not seduce Shen Youran?"

Zhuang Yi was stunned. "Really? I found that my uncle has a special attraction. That's right, the men around him are all... bachelors."

Lu Xi thought about it and realized that was right. Pei Shaoqing, Jiang Yizhou, Ji Ran, Jin Yu, and Shen Mo were all grown up and still single.

Among them, the only one who is married is Fu Nanzhou.

The two chatted for a long time and then fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, Lu Xi got up at eight o'clock, washed up in a hurry, and went straight to Fu Group.

Shen Mo made an appointment with her and said he had something to ask her.
