“Why didn’t you tell me?” Yan Huan rubbed her wrists. She had watched the scene for a while and had forgottento put the groceries down. It was no wonder her hand hurt. It was aching and had started going numb.
“Tell you what?” Lu Yi carried the things as he walked ahead.
Yan Huan quickly followed behind him and wrapped the scarf around her face. Only then did it not feel cold.
“Tell me that Little Bean’s front leg had nothing to do with you.” She thought back to how she had scolded Lu Yi earlier and felt that . He was even nice enough to help her carry her things.
She was starting to understand this man lesser. She was unable to understand what he thought. Could it be that it was because they had crossed each other in a different generation? She had really read people wrongly. She had misread Lu Qin and Lu Yi. She mistook a jerk for a gem and a gem for a jerk.
Lu Yi stopped and turned around. He lowered his head and stared into Yan Huan’s eyes. “It had to do with me, didn’t it?”
“That seemed right too.” Yan Huan had nothing to refute to that. If he said it was to do with him then it hadto do with him. If he said he had nothing to do with it, it was true too. At the very least, he knew how to admit his mistake by himself.
Not anyone could do this.
As for whatever they had said earlier, she had heard everything but she wouldn’t be a busybody to ask. She wouldn’t care that they had broken up. These were between them and really had nothing to do with her.
Of course, she wouldn’t ask if they had really broken up. Even though it seemed true, they might have just been throwing a tantrum.
Lu Yi sent her to the 15th floor directly and stopped outside her house.
He then stood there without moving.
“The…” Yan Huan didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t possibly chase him out after he put the things down. She couldn’t do that to him after using him. Moreover, she still owed him a big favor, especially after giving him a dressing down.
“I’ve bought a lot of groceries today; do you want to join us?”
She wanted to slap herself on the mouth after saying that. It sounded so weird and flirtatious, even though Yi Ling would be there.
“Is this considered the meal that you owe me?” Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yan Huan knew what he was saying, the Zuo Fanrui matter. She promised to treat him a meal but instead of a meal, she had given him a scolding.
“This one doesn’t count.”
The food that she whipped up was nothing special and he might not appreciate it. Hence, it cannot be considered a treat. She will bring him to a good restaurant to eat lots of good meat once she made enough money to treat him.
Abalone, sea cucumber, chicken, fish. He could order anything.
“Open the door,” Lu Yi stepped aside while still holding on to the two bags of groceries.
Yan Huan took her keys out from her bag and took in a deep breathe. Alright, she needed to treat him sooner or later, as interest.
Anyway, they already had something going on.
She opened the door as Yi Ling was munching on some seeds. She ate one and gave one to Little Bean. One for each of them, it didn’t take much effort. They were both bored.
As she heard the door sounded, her eyes lit up. Even the kitten’s eyes lit up too.
Both human and cat stared at the door. That look of longingness was pretty frightening.
“Huanhuan, me and Little Bean are starving.”
“Meow…”
“Sorry, I was held up by some stuff.” She said embarrassingly. It was her fault for being so into the drama and gossip that she had forgotten that Yi Ling and Little Bean were waiting to eat.
Lu Yi carried the things into the kitchen. Yi Ling was already staring at him until her eyes were about to fall out.
They stayed in the same building and the layout was essentially identical. Lu Yi guessed where the kitchen was.
Yan Huan felt her head spin as she walked over and placed her hand over Yi Ling’s mouth to prevent her from screaming the next second.
“Yiyi, he is my runner, do not offend him.”
Yi Ling held back to her face had turned red. She pointed at Yan Huan’s hands to let go. She had almost strangled her.
Yan Huan quickly released her hand while Yi Ling clasped her chest, taking in deep breaths. However, once she heard the word runner, she knew she couldn’t say too much now. Even if she wanted to ask, now wasn’t the time.”
“I will go make food. Remember, be nice to him.’”
Yi Ling placed her hands on her head and bowed. She understood.
They had to hold onto him. Even though she had no idea where Yan Huan had found him, she knew they had to butter up to their backing.
Only then did Yan Huan go and put on her apron. She then took the band on her wrist and casually tied her hair up. When she walked in, Lu Yi was washing the vegetables.
He really was house husband material.
Yan Huan was suddenly a little jealous of Fang Zhu.
He could do the housework, he could fight. He could be brutal if need be. Such a good man, why didn’t she meet him earlier. She only crossed paths with Lu Qin that jerk.
“I can do it.” Yan Huan walked over and took out all the vegetables from the bag.
However, Lu Yi didn’t leave. Even though the kitchen was big, in the past only Yan Huan would be at home and there wasn’t much to it. Now that there was suddenly one more person, she felt it was too tight and a little hard to breathe.
“Yan Huan,” Lu Yi suddenly opened his mouth.
“Yes?” Yan Huan replied as she continued taking out the things from the bag. Those that belonged in the fridge, she placed them there.
“You treat me as your runner?” Lu Yi’s voice was flat and emotionless and there wasn’t much feeling.
“Are you not?” Yan Huan was very honest. She didn’t like to play any tricks in front of men. She couldn’t win and she didn’t want to play too.
She turned around and stared seriously at Lu Yi. “You are my runner. Why? Can I not count on you?” She pouted and gave a pitiful look. If this runner wasn’t trustworthy enough, she would have been stashed away a long time ago.
“Yes you can.” Lu Yi was a little speechless. Everyone in this world likes to lie and say something nice. They would make something that was plainly obvious into something high-sounding. But Yan Huan was the opposite, her honesty was a little foolish.
Lu Yi stayed a while in the kitchen but felt like he couldn’t help much. Instead, he had knocked into Yan Huan a few times. In the end, he walked out from the kitchen and a cat jumped down from the sofa.
It dragged one leg and ran in front of him.
It then rubbed its head against his legs.
Lu Yi squatted down and carried the cat.
