Chapter 555: Sweet Lunch

The next day, Lu Si did come.
When he entered with a thermal lunch box, Mei Shu initially thought it was Tang Mei. She didn’t even lift her head, instructing him to leave first. It wasn’t until she sensed the person beside her getting closer that she finally remembered Lu Si had said he would come to have lunch with her.
“Why are you so busy? Some work should be delegated to your subordinates.” Lu Si arranged the dishes from the lunch box onto the table.
Mei Shu smiled, “I’ve only taken over the company recently, there’s still a lot to learn. If I just delegate everything, I’m afraid I won’t progress.”
“You are quite diligent.” Lu Si smiled as he handed her a pair of chopsticks and poured tea for her.
Mei Shu noticed that the longer she spent with him, the more delicate he became in taking care of her. By now, she had gradually become accustomed to these little details of his, and she really enjoyed his constant affection for her.
Becoming dependent on someone was like slow-acting poison. It was hard to say whether one day the toxicity would flare up, leading to self-destruction. But for now, Mei Shu just wanted to let herself sink into his tenderness.
Perhaps this was what people often referred to as the honeymoon phase?
“All Si, I have a question for you.” ATei Shu put down her chopsticks and said seriously.
Lu Si looked up at her, waiting for her to continue.
Mei Shu took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and said, “Actually, there’s something I’ve been forgetting to ask for your opinion on. 1 know that if I win the bet against your grandfather, your family will have to give the ownership of that island to me. Will you be upset about that?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Si was momentarily stunned before laughing, “Shu’er, do you really think so little of me?”
Mei Shu widened her eyes incredulously, “This isn’t about thinking little of you or not! This concerns the great interests of your family!”
Mei Shu shook her head helplessly and said, “Forget about the island, even if you and your grandfather bet the entire Lu family, 1 wouldn’t have any objections. After all, you’re always mine.”
Mei Shu blushed, her heart racing, as she used the gesture of touching her nose to hide her embarrassment. “You’re right. Even if I end up owning the island, in the end, we’ll still… manage it together.”
Before she finished her sentence, she suddenly realized something and looked up sharply, catching a glimpse of satisfaction in the man’s eyes.
Alright, he was digging a pit while she wasn’t paying attention, trying to make her admit that they would get married in the future!
Mei Shu snorted in annoyance and ignored him.
Lu Si kindly served her a dish she liked the most and spoke in a soft tone that could melt bones, “Shu’er, don’t be angry. You said it yourself.”
Mei Shu continued to ignore him, eating her meal in big bites, wishing she could bury her entire face in the bowl!
It was strange. She had lived two lifetimes, yet she still felt shy because of such a simple sentence!
Mei Shu inwardly criticized herself while her expression remained unchanged.
Seeing her anxious appearance, Lu Si wanted to laugh, but after some thought, he restrained himself from laughing and handed her the tea. “Alright, take your time eating. What if you choke? Have some water.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Shu indeed choked.
Lu Si’s face changed, and he quickly sat beside her, patting her back to help her breathe, “Drink some water quickly. What’s the rush? There’s still plenty of time for your lunch break.”
Mei Shu grabbed the water cup and gulped it down, feeling her throat much better, but her face became even redder, making it hard for her to catch her breath.
She pushed away her bowl and chopsticks, took the initiative to hand him another bowl of food, and ordered in a commanding tone, “Eat! No talking, and definitely no looking at me!”
They finished their meal awkwardly like this. Mei Shu finally felt full, let out a long sigh after putting down her chopsticks, and stretched lazily.
Immediately, a hand very considerately passed her a tissue.
Mei Shu didn’t need to look to know how the owner of that hand was looking at her. Without looking at him, she took the tissue, wiped her mouth, and threw it into the trash can. “Alright, you can go now. I want to take a nap.”
“So you’re kicking me out?” Lu Si sighed as if he were a wronged woman abandoned by her husband, silently tidying up the mess on the table with a hint of grievance.
Feeling a bit guilty, Mei Shu blurted out, “You can stay if you want, but don’t disturb my sleep.”
“Alright.” Lu Si agreed very quickly, afraid that he would regret it if he was too slow. He quickly cleaned up the table, then bent down to lift her into his arms.
“Hey! I said not disturb my nap!” Mei Shu slapped his chest, accusing him of going back on his word.
Lu Si, however, didn’t mind. “I’m not disturbing you. How can you sleep well sitting on a chair? Let’s go to the sofa and have a good nap together..”
