Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Jingye made green pepper with shredded potatoes, braised pork ribs, fried beef with asparagus, and tomato egg soup.
As they sat down, the fragrance instantly wafted into Zi Yi’s nose.
“Lu Jingye, it’s unexpected that you can cook.”
“It’s just a few home-cooked dishes.” Lu Jingye pointed at the dishes. “Have a taste. I don’t know if you can manage spicy food so I didn’t add any chili.”
Zi Yi took a bite and her eyes instantly narrowed in bliss. “It’s delicious, and I can eat spicy food.”
After that, both of them started to eat.
Lu Jingye did not expect such a cute reaction from her when she ate something she liked, but he stopped looking at her and began to eat.
Neither of them spoke throughout the meal.
When they were done, Zi Yi remained seated and looked at Lu Jingye eagerly.
He looked back at her with a puzzled gaze.
Zi Yi pointed at the empty dishes and gave a plausible explanation. “You should know why I wanted to order takeout, right? There’s no need to wash the plates.”
“…” Lu Jingye was speechless for a moment before he asked. “You didn’t get a dishwasher?”
Zi Yi confidently responded, “I don’t cook. Why would I get one for?”
“…”
Lu Jingye silently took out his phone and made a call. “Deliver a dishwasher.”
After he hung up, he asked. “You intend to order takeout all the time?”
“Nope.” After the parts for building a robot she purchased from the black market arrives, she would build a housekeeper robot first. At that time, she would let it cook.
Lu Jingye nodded and asked another question. “Since you’re renovating your front yard, where are you staying during the renovation?”
“Right here. I’m only renovating the front yard, not the backyard.”
She had tons of things to do next. In particular, within this courtyard. She had to make it impossible for anyone to enter without her permission.
Lu Jingye nodded. After his bodyguard delivered the dishwasher, he left.
Since she mentioned she would stay here, she had literally stayed in the villa without going anywhere for the next few days.
The men Li Peirong had employed to disfigure Zi Yi could not find her at all.
Li Peirong frowned when she received the news. “How could you not locate a person? Don’t you know to check her expenditure records?”
Li Peirong had transferred some money to Zi Yi’s card to allow those men to find her as soon as possible. Even though Zi Xu had asked his secretary to freeze all her bank cards, Li Peirong had given Zi Yi one of her supplementary cards. It was so that she could spend her days drinking and playing around with those friends who were a bad influence.
The other party replied, “She did not use the money.”
Li Peirong suddenly raised her voice. “Impossible.” She believed herself to have understood that slut very well. “I would believe it if it was someone else, but that slut would feel uncomfortable if she does not spend money for a single day. How could she…”
She seemed to have thought of something as she spoke. “Bring men to keep guard at the He family. Check to see if that slut has been taken in by He Fei.”
Li Peirong became inexplicably flustered. If the slut were to have followed He Fei, then all her efforts would have been in vain.
The more she thought, the uneasier she felt. Li Peirong went to Zi Xu after she ended the call. With an expression of worry, she persuaded him, ” Ah Xu, we’ve let Yiyi remain in the capital for three days and she has no money with her. What if she gets bullied? Why don’t you send someone to fetch her?”
She started wiping away her tears as she spoke.
Zi Xu’s anger had yet to die down. There were many who had laughed behind his back for the past few days and caused him to lose face. He had nowhere to vent his anger and when he heard what Li Peirong said, his expression sank. “Why are you looking for her? Do you think she hasn’t humiliated me enough yet?”
“This… we still have to find her no matter what. Otherwise, if she gets into an accident…”
Li Peirong’s words finally sank in. After all, Zi Yi was his daughter. He sent for two bodyguards to search for her in the capital.
“Have her remain in the capital when you find her. Tell her, if she causes another incident, I’ll treat it as if I don’t have a daughter like her anymore.”
