Chapter 1138
Ren fastened his eyes on her while naturally putting his hands on the table for support. As he leaned
over slightly, his eyes darkened somewhat. “Ruka, from now on, don‘t call me Mr. Ren anymore.”
Ruka‘s eyes widened slightly. “What should I call you, then?”
“Call me whatever you like, but don‘t call me Mr. Ren. I don‘t like it.” Ren pushed a bowl of noodles
toward her. “Call me Ren instead.”
Ruka was speechless for a moment. “No, I can‘t do that. Aunt Scarlet is from the same generation as
my mom. You‘re her younger brother, so I should call you Mr. Ren. If you really don‘t like that, I can call
you Uncle” She insisted on respecting her elders. In particular, she couldn‘t address her elders wrongly
since it‘d be a rude thing to do.
Ren knitted his brows. He replied somewhat sulkily in a peremptory tone of voice that brooked no
retort, “In any case, you can only call me Ren while staying at my place these days.” He insisted that
she call him so since there weren‘t so many rules and restrictions at his place.
Ruka stopped insisting. Inwardly, she even wanted to smile. Seeing that the man had cooked dinner for
her, she curled her lips into a smile, saying, “Okay. I‘ll call you Ren then, alright?”
When Ren saw how obedient she looked, his brow finally cleared. As he was in a good mood, he
pulled out his chair and sat down next to her.
Ruka hurriedly handed him his fork and spoon. After eating a few bites of the noodles, she asked him,
“You kept sending me presents by post earlier. Why didn‘t you tell me about it so that I can thank you
for it?”
Ren was startled for a moment. Then, he figured that his assistant must‘ve let it slip and told her about
it. “Do you like the gifts?” he asked with a squint.
“Yeah, I do,” Ruka said before flashing the necklace she was wearing. “Look, I‘m wearing it.”
Ren curled his lips into an attractive smile as a dimple appeared in one of his cheeks.
If he laughs heartily, his dimples will definitely be even more good–looking, thought Ruka as she looked
forward to him laughing.
They then ate dinner in silence
Ruka finished half of the soup since it was too yummy. Not only that, but she was stuffed after eating
seven slices of the grilled steak. “Let me clear the table.” She
hurriedly stood up to clear the table when Ren put down his fork and spoon.
Ren grabbed her hand that was holding the bowl to stop her. “Let me do it. You should go to sleep.”
