Chapter 1097: Can You Be Compared to Xia Wanyuan?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Li’s house was as clean and cute as her.
The house was not big, no more than sixty square meters, but it was extremely neat. Little details that young girls liked could be seen everywhere. There were furry dolls, cute posters, pink wind chimes, and a few beautiful flowers on the table.
Xuan Sheng looked around, and the restlessness in his heart was inexplicably soothed by these small details. He smiled and fiddled with the small flowers on the table. “You’re so attentive to the house you rented.”
Lu Li poured him a cup of hot tea and smiled until her dimples appeared. Her eyes shone under the light. “This is the best house I’ve ever lived in.”
Lu Li had lived in her hometown in the mountains when she was young. Later on, she stayed in school and rented a house in the city after graduation.
The most ordinary residential house that Chen Yun had helped her find this time was indeed the best house she had ever lived in.
Lu Li was very happy. Usually, after work, she would go to the night market and buy some things she liked, slowly turning her little nest into such a warm place.

Seeing the satisfaction and joy in Lu Li’s eyes, Xuan Sheng seemed to be infected by her emotions. The corners of his lips curled up. “Little girl, you’re quite content.”
Lu Li smiled at him. “CEO Xuan, sit first. I’ll change and make you some supper.”
With that, before Xuan Sheng could reject her, Lu Li ran into the bedroom.
Xuan Sheng’s “no need” was stuck in his throat. He shook his head helplessly.
No wonder Xia Wanyuan would let such a young girl be her manager.
It was true that Lu Li did not know anything and had a pure personality, but there was something very rare about her. Her personality was pure, but her IQ and EQ were not simple. She looked silly, but she was actually very smart. ......
Xuan Sheng sat on the sofa and casually played with the rabbit doll.
Lu Li changed into a long down jacket and walked out of the bedroom. “CEO Xuan, wait for me for a while. I’ll make something to eat.”
Xuan Sheng looked up and saw the down jacket on Lu Li. He suddenly found it funny.
He had experienced so many women and had seen too many scenes of them calling him up in the middle of the night. There were also many people who changed their clothes after calling him up.
However, when these women left the bedroom, they were either naked or wearing short skirts. They had never seen anyone wearing a down jacket from head to toe like Lu Li.
Looking at the doll in his hand, Xuan Sheng smiled mysteriously.
Lu Li was indeed a good girl. Unfortunately, her taste was not good and she liked me.
The vulgar sounds of pots and pans came from the kitchen. Gradually, a rich fragrance spread towards the living room.
Xuan Sheng had attended a banquet that night, but other than drinking, he had not even eaten a mouthful of food. Now that he smelled this fragrance, his appetite was aroused.
“It’s time to eat.” Lu Li walked over with two bowls of noodles in a cute rabbit apron.
“Have some noodles tonight to calm your stomach.” Lu Li placed a bowl of noodles in front of Xuan Sheng.
On the steaming hot noodles, there were not only a few pieces of beef, but also a heart-shaped egg. There were some vegetables beside it, making one’s appetite increase.
Fifteen minutes later, two empty bowls were placed on the table.
Feeling the rare fill in his stomach, Xuan Sheng subconsciously narrowed his eyes. “Girl, your skills are not bad.”
Lu Li smiled with her white teeth. “Thank you for the praise.”
The sofa was very soft and the room was very warm. Xuan Sheng was sleepy, but looking at Lu Li’s admiring eyes, Xuan Sheng still stood up. “Alright, it’s late. Sleep early.”
“CEO Xuan, it’s so late. Where are you going?” Lu Li stood up.
Xuan Sheng turned around and the corners of his eyes curled up slightly with a hint of evilness. “I’ll go and find a beautiful lover. A moment of spring is worth a thousand gold, understand, little friend?”
Lu Li bit her lip. “Can you not find someone else?”
Xuan Sheng smiled and took a few steps back to stand in front of Lu Li. He leaned down slightly and stared into Lu Li’s eyes. “If I don’t look for someone else, should I look for you?”
Lu Li widened her almond-shaped eyes and was a little helpless. “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then that’s it.” Xuan Sheng reached out and raised Lu Li’s chin. “See? This is the real me. I’m not as gentlemanly and good as you think. I’m afraid you can’t imagine how many women I’ve slept with.”
Xuan Sheng was clearly smiling as he spoke, but there were dark waves suppressed in his eyes.
Lu Li’s eyes turned red. “I don’t have any other thoughts.”
Lu Li’s thoughts about Xuan Sheng were too simple. She felt that Xuan Sheng was very good. She liked him and wanted to be good to him. Although she was sad to hear these comments, she still wanted to be good to Xuan Sheng.
“I don’t need you to be good to me.” Xuan Sheng was someone who had seen everything. How could he not understand Lu Li’s expression? He let go of Lu Li’s chin. “Don’t think that you can save me. The only person who can save me is Xia Wanyuan. Do you think you can be compared to her?”
Xuan Sheng’s words were really hurtful. Just as he finished speaking, Lu Li’s tears fell. She looked aggrieved and pitiful.
Seeing Lu Li’s appearance, a hint of pity flashed across Xuan Sheng’s eyes, but in the end, he did not do anything. He even added, “Your position in my heart is worlds apart from Xia Wanyuan.”
Lu Li lowered her head and almost bit her lip to death. She wiped her tears. “I know I’m not as good as Sister Xia. I’m sorry for disturbing you. I definitely won’t pester you anymore.”
Xuan Sheng looked away reluctantly, but his words were cold. “That’s good. What’s important is self-awareness. Take care of yourself. Take this money as your hard work these few days.”
As Xuan Sheng spoke, he threw a bank card on the table and turned to leave. The closed door brought a cold wind that blew into Lu Li’s heart.
She looked at the bank card on the table, then sat on the sofa sadly and called her grandmother.
On the other end of the line, there was the sound of firewood burning.
Lu Li knew that her grandparents were definitely sitting around the fire with pork ribs soup stewed on it. There might even be sweet potatoes buried in the fire, and the sweet fragrance lingered in the air. When it was a little later, they would be able to eat the soft roasted sweet potatoes.
“Good granddaughter, what’s wrong? Are you home?” Grandma’s voice came from the phone.
Lu Li immediately wanted to go home. She wiped her tears. “Grandma, the person I like hates me.”
“Silly child.” Grandma smiled. “If you like him and he likes you, that’s something to be happy about. But if you like him and he doesn’t like you, don’t cry. You can’t ask others to reciprocate your liking, right?”
“Mm.” Lu Li nodded as her tears fell. “Then I won’t disturb him anymore.”
