After hanging up the phone, Ning Yuxi fiddled with her phone back and forth, her eyes slightly lowered, wondering what she was thinking.

Lu Yuting, who was working nearby, heard the phone call she just made and looked at her with a dark expression.

"Didn't you say you were idle at noon? You'll be busy again in a few hours?"

Ning Yuxi grabbed the pillow at hand, hugged it in her arms, and found a comfortable position to sit on the sofa.

"I just arrange some things, and don't need to do anything. Strictly speaking, I'm just an idler."

Lu Yuting chuckled, "I see your head is not idle."

Ning Yuxi moved her lips carelessly, her smart eyes flashing with tiny light.

"It's easy to disturb Mr. Lu's work when he's free."

The woman's words circulated in his mind, and Lu Yuting tasted them carefully before he could discern the deeper meaning hidden in the woman's words.

It was just a sentence of "it's easy to miss you when I'm free", but she said it in a subtle way.

Lu Yuting slowly opened his lips and opened his arms.

"Miss Ning is welcome to disturb you at any time."

Having said that, Ning Yuxi was not willing to disturb the man's work.

Temporary indulgence must be made up for.

When the time comes, it will still be Lu Yuting who is tired, but he will be the one who feels distressed.

So throughout the afternoon, except for occasionally helping the man make a cup of tea, Ning Yuxi sat on the sofa and quietly scrolled through her tablet.

Sometimes she showed an expression of relish, and Lu Yuting couldn't help but wonder what the woman had seen to make such an expression.

After processing the documents at hand, Lu Yuting stood up and walked over to Ning Yuxi, wanting to see what she had been reading all afternoon.

Unexpectedly, when the woman saw him coming over, she quickly locked the tablet and put it aside, then sat up straight.

"Are you done?"

Lu Yuting sat down next to her and glanced at the tablet in her hand.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, just browse the news."

With a slight smile on her delicate face, Ning Yuxi spoke so naturally that it was hard not to believe that she was indeed watching the news.

But as the person who knew her best, Lu Yuting didn't quite believe her words and looked at her with doubt.

"Can you watch the news with gusto?"

"You don't know this. Nowadays, some news is much more exciting than TV dramas. There are some things that screenwriters don't dare to write about."

Ning Yuxi spoke truthfully, but Lu Yuting still caught the guilt in her eyes.

How could Lu Yuting not see the little trick she wanted to hide from him?

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Lu Yuting didn't ask.

After a short rest, he continued to work.

This work lasted until nightfall.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Lu Yuting finished processing the last email in his hand, moved his eyes away from the computer, and fell on the woman half lying on the sofa.

Ning Yuxi had already put down her tablet, holding an economics book in her hand.

The book was one that Ning Yuxi randomly found from the bookcase in the man's office more than an hour ago.

I didn't expect that she would be able to see it till now.

Lu Yuting stood up and walked to sit next to Ning Yuxi, gently stroking her long, silky hair. Seeing that she still didn't take her eyes away from the book, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the book in her hand.

"How can you read such a boring book?"

Ning Yuxi put down the book, looked at him, and smiled softly.

"It's quite boring."

But when she saw some obscure places with easy-to-understand annotations, it became less boring.

The man's words are so powerful that even in a small blank space, the sharpness of his strokes and strokes cannot be blocked.

When her fingertips landed on the words marked by the man, Ning Yuxi could completely imagine what the man looked like when he was reading and making notes.

He is cold, serious, and unsmiling, just like he does at work.

And these annotations became her motivation to read on.

Reading the words he has read and looking at the annotations written by him is like participating in his childhood and reading these boring words with him.

This feeling made her unable to put down the book.

Lu Yuting didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked softly, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask the servant to do it."

Ning Yuxi rolled her eyes and sat up quickly, as if she had been waiting for his words.

"Let's go out to eat. I found a restaurant that serves good barbecue."

Lu Yuting looked at her looking at him expectantly, and suddenly understood something.

"So you've been reading this all afternoon?"

Ning Yuxi did not deny it.

She has been to almost all high-end restaurants in Kyoto.

If you eat too much, you won’t feel anything fresh anymore.

It was Qiqi who reminded her in the morning, so she spent the entire afternoon making food guides.

She wanted to take Lu Yuting to experience something special.

"If you don't refuse, I'll take it as your consent. Clean up and we'll go now. We're going to be late. I'm afraid we'll have to queue up for a long time."

Ning Yuxi put on her shoes and stood up from the sofa, grabbed the man and urged him to get dressed quickly, and then went into the bathroom in the lounge to touch up her makeup.

Looking at her leaving figure and opening his mouth, Lu Yuting wanted to say that they could make a reservation directly, or if they couldn't, they could just book the venue.

But when she thought that it was impossible for her to think of such a thing, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

After packing their things, Ning Yuxi and Lu Yuting left Lu's International together, driving Ning Yuxi's car.

Lu Yuting, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look at the little woman who was driving seriously, the doting look in his eyes almost overflowing.

He could tell that she was acting unusually today. She had to drive by herself, give Wen Zheng a day off, and line up to eat by herself.

He could feel that she seemed to be planning something, and he had a vague answer in his heart.

Expectation mixed with pleasure turned into waves of warmth, flowing to the limbs and bones.

After arriving at the destination, Ning Yuxi parked the car and saw a long queue forming at the door of the restaurant.

The storefront is not as gorgeous as a high-end restaurant, but the design has a unique style.

In the long queue, there were three or five friends standing together, and there were also sweet couples standing side by side.

In comparison, Lu Yuting and Ning Yuxi looked out of place in suits and leather shoes.

The two of them attracted a lot of attention because of their different clothes, and their outstanding appearance attracted frequent peeks.

"Look, look! That man is so handsome!"

"An unknown suit, an expensive watch, and Italian handmade leather shoes. He must be of extraordinary status. He is so rich and still comes to the queue with his girlfriend? What kind of peerless good man is he! How come I haven't met him before..."

"

"Didn't the rich boss have the luxury to book the entire restaurant? How could he accompany his girlfriend to queue up? In my opinion, what he is wearing may be fakes. Don't be deceived by appearances."

"Otherwise, you deserve to be single! Do you understand what this means?"
