A short while after, Ren came down to the laughter of Ruka. Subsequently, he switched to the news
channel while a servant served a new cup of tea, not daring to stay in the living room in fear of
disturbing him.
Soon, Ruka started to serve the dishes before she delivered a smile to the man sitting on the couch.
Heading back to the kitchen, she asked, “Aunt Scarlet, does Mr. Ren
have a girlfriend?”
This made Scarlet grumble. “No, he hasn‘t! We are all concerned about his marital affairs, yet he keeps
saying that he‘s too busy to care about that.”
Ruka laughed upon hearing this. “I don‘t think he‘s even thinking about this.”
“We‘ve got no choice as well. With a man as capable as he is, his standards are naturally sky high.”
Scarlet was feeling helpless, for she and Ren‘s age difference was too big, creating a generation gap
between them.
Ruka agreed with Scarlet as no ordinary woman would dare to woo a young man who wielded such
power! Besides, Ren was too domineering, so who would even dare to strike up a conversation with
him? I know first–hand how that felt. The pressure he emitted when they were ‘reading‘ earlier was
enough for her to want to escape.
Hence, if he did not take the first step, what woman would dare to woo him?
At last, Walter had returned when the last dish was served, making it the perfect time to start dinner.
“It‘s time to eat, Mr. Ren!” Ruka became the moodsetter of the house.
Switching the television off, Ren stood up and went to the dining table while Walter approached him
with a bottle of good wine. “This is from my treasured collection. Let‘s have a drink.”
Yet, Ren only waved. “Perhaps we‘ll do it next time, Walter. I still have work to do when I get back.”
In the end, Walter could only enjoy the wine by himself. Not only was he not angered, he did not
pressure him further either. After all, he reserved respect for Ren as who he was.
“Ruka, try this. This is the barbeque pork ribs you adore so much. Since I haven‘t cooked for a while, I
might have gotten rusty. Let me know if it‘s good.”
Picking up one of the ribs, Ruka tasted it while Ren was sitting opposite her. As she took a bite, her
eyes glowed upon indulging the scrumptious flavors. “It‘s still as delicious as I remembered! You really
do know the way to my heart, Aunt Scarlet.“
