nAfter their meal, Zi Yi had the housekeeping robot clean the bowls and cutlery in the kitchen while they sat on the sofa.

nLu Jingye asked, “Who is cooking for you at the moment?”

nZi Yi felt that Lu Jingye was like a parent who is constantly worried about his kid at home. His expression and tone did not allow one’s thoughts to wander.

nShe did not felt like answering him properly the moment she saw such a serious expression from him.

n“No one. I can only order take out.”

nShe deliberately sat closer to him. “Lu Jingye, since you’re so fond of being a busybody, why don’t you simply take care of my meals?”

nZi Yi had to admit that Lu Jingye’s cooking fit her tastebuds. It made her crave for more despite having eaten.

nLu Jingye looked at the young lady’s glowing eyes. He closed his eyes to ponder for a moment before nodding.

nHe certainly does not have much time to cook for her, but it was not feasible for her to order takeouts every day. In that case, he shall let the housekeeper deliver food every day.

nZi Yi did not know of Lu Jingye’s thoughts. She was immediately delighted when he nodded.

n“Lu Jingye, you’re such a nice person. I have nothing to repay you with. Why don’t I…”

nZi Yi’s eyes checked him up and down, and felt her urges stirring when she saw him acting like a parent.

n“It’ll suffice as long as you protect yourself and don’t give those men the opportunity to approach you.”

nZi Yi was silent for a moment before she said, “What if I fall for a man? Don’t tell me you still want me to maintain distance with him?”

nLu Jingye fell silent for some time and replied, “As long as you ensure that he has no bad intentions towards you.”

nZi Yi could not resist the impulse and directly pounced on him.

nHer legs straddled his knees, with one hand holding his shoulder and the other on the sofa.

nLu Jingye never expected Zi Yi to pounce on him and evidently, he was stunned.

nZi Yi curled her lips and said, “Lu Jingye, even my father hasn’t restricted me like this. You’re even more nosy than my father. Did you fall for me?”

nAfter that, she added. “But it doesn’t matter whether you like me or not. I’ve decided to kiss you.”

nAfter which, she lowered her head and pressed her lips against his.

nTwo pairs of lips pressed together.

nTwo pairs of eyes looked into each other.

nTheir breathing intertwined and suddenly, their heartbeats skipped.

nAt that moment, Zi Yi felt her waist being tugged. Immediately after, she was lifted and placed to the side.

nLu Jingye stood up and looked at her with a frown. With a solemn expression, he said, “Not everyone can handle such a joke. Have you ever thought, what if a man falls for you due to this kiss? Would you marry him?”

n“How is that possible!”

nZi Yi saw Lu Jingye’s pursed lips and thought to herself, “How could I casually play such a joke with a random man?”

nLu Jingye knew she only kissed him out of curiosity. After a few seconds, he said, “It’s getting late. You should sleep early.”

nThe moment he finished his sentence, he turned to leave and left at once.

nZi Yi glanced at the departing back view and leaned against the sofa. She then looked up at the ceiling and muttered, “I finally wanted to do something with a man but I didn’t expect to be met with such a setback. This is too depressing!”

nHey old fogey, it’s not like you will lose anything with a kiss.

nYou’re making it seem as if I’m a pervert!

n…

nAfter Lu Jingye returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to call for the housekeeper. “In the future, deliver every meal to Zi Yi when she’s at home.”

nThe housekeeper was surprised and puzzled. He tried his best to keep calm on the surface and answered, “I understand, Second Young Master.”

nLu Jingye walked upstairs. Just as he got to the stairs, he received an email from Qin Yi.

nHe opened the email and saw the investigation result of Zi Yi.

nA trace of displeasure streaked past his eyes when he saw it.
