Chapter 11
After the meal, Lu Chu Yao brought Ning Sheng to settle the bill.
The cashier was acting a little excited. She casually tapped on the calculator and finally said, “There is a 90% discount for couples today. Since you two are a couple, the total bill will be 100 dollars”
“Are you sure?” Ning Sheng was shocked.
The cashier smiled and nodded, she wondered if was it still too much for them.
Ning Sheng paid the bill and pulled Lu Chu Yao out of the restaurant and whispered, “I think this restaurant might really be closing down. Their food and service were not bad though.”
“Maybe Feng Shui is bad.” Lu Chu Yao said casually.
Instead of going home as Ning Sheng expected, Lu Chu Yao brought her to a department store. Ning Sheng looked at the way they were holding hands and wonder what were they doing.
“Lu Chu Yao, what are we doing here?” Ning Sheng rarely came to such a place.
As most of her money goes to her parents, she barely had enough for herself. Coming to such places was a luxury she could not afford.
“I’m buying a bed.”
Ning Sheng was left speechless.
She turned toward Lu Chu Yao’s direction and noticed that there was a hint of determination showed on his face. There was no doubt Lu Chu Yao had meant what he just said.
Although it was a fact that the bed in the small rental apartment was a little too tiny, it was still in good shape.
“Miss Ning Sheng, I’m 189 meters tall. That bed is only 180 meters long,” Lu Chu Yao explained.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have realized something and shifted his attention.
“Alright, let’s go take a look.” Ning Sheng felt a little bad after hearing what Lu Chu Yao had to say. It was true that the single bed was too small for both of them, not ignoring the fact that Lu Chu Yao was indeed very tall.
As Ning Sheng finished speaking, Lu Chu Yao’s phone rang. He seemed to have come to a certain understanding of something and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He looked up at Ning Sheng and said, “You go ahead first. I have to answer a call.”
Ning Sheng saw that he had an incoming phone call and nodded slightly, “Come and find me later.”
Lu Chu Yao watched her go in before picking up the phone. The gentleness he had in his eyes just moments ago was gone and replaced by a cold and murderous aura. His usual expressionless face was now tensed with a faint trace of irritation.
“What’s wrong? Have you all become useless now?” His voice was extremely cold.
Lin Shang could feel the anger from the other side of the phone call, “I’m sorry, boss. It’s all our fault. We only dealt with the people sent by Madam Xin Yu and didn’t notice that the old master had also sent people over. It is our mistake.”
“So, the old man knows that I’m here?” Lu Chu Yao asked. His voice was low and oppressive as if it came from hell.
Lin Shang was shocked. If he had said ‘Yes’ he might probably die then and there.
“The people from the old man’s side should be there to check on your work attitude and progress. As for other things, they won’t care. As for miss Ning Sheng’s matter, the old master doesn’t know yet.”
If the old man knew that Lu Chu Yao had gotten married behind his back and that she was an ordinary woman, he would probably try to get rid of Ning Sheng without anyone knowing.
Lu Chu Yao’s expression was slightly stunned. He walked into the department store and said to the person on the other end of the phone, “Lin Shang, send someone to protect Ning Sheng. Don’t let her find out. If anything happens to her, you know what the consequences will be.”
After that, he hung up the phone.
At this time, Ning Sheng had already arrived at the furniture store upstairs. She was thinking about which bed she should buy. After all, she didn’t have much money and there was a lot she should be considering.
“Look who is it!”
