Madam Xue stood by her husband, as she watched the man in his late life wrote their son's name in cursive writing .
Sigh—it's always been a disastrous conversation between them . I seriously wonder what will happen this weekend—please let the dinner pass peacefully this time . . .
Later at the dinner that night, Lu was fiddling with the dumpling in her bowl . The juicy dumpling kept slipping off her grip whenever she tried holding it with her chopsticks . She somehow felt discontented while the dumpling was drowning in her soup as she stared .
"What's with the face? Did you just discover what happened in Huo's family?"
"How on Earth would I even know that before you do?"
"Well, how on Earth do I even know when you look more like people from that side?"
"For the last time, I DON'T KNOW!" Said Lu as she threw her chopsticks onto the table and pulled a napkin off the box to wipe, before storming out of the place .
Huo saw his woman running away and passed a glance at her bowl which was half full .
She had so little for dinner that no doubt she would starve in the late evening .
Lu was gone and so was Huo's appetite . He tossed the chopsticks into the bowl and lighted a cigarette .
Huo did not intend to tease Lu from the beginning but her agitation was wholeheartedly real . To calm the feline, nothing actually happened that night as soundly he fell asleep right after changing into his pajamas .

Lu Zhaoyang was the cooperative girl after all . Since Huo behaved himself, their breakfast went as peacefully as usual in the morning .
She took a few documents to his office in the afternoon, only to discover somebody else there .
It was Chen Lei, the P . A . of Huo Zhenning .
"Here's an invitation written by master himself," said the assistant, "Hope to see you at the dinner this weekend . " He courteously held the invitation with both hands as Huo grabbed it impatiently in disdain . There was a brief smile on his face when he dropped the invitation into the bin under the desk .
"You may leave now," announced Huo as he acted all busy typing at his computer .

Chen Lei bit his lips, looking helpless since the task given was not accomplished . Old master would be angry if he failed to deliver the invitation .
Lu seemingly captured his gestures, went to the bin and picked the invitation out of the paper bin . "You can leave now," she smiled sweetly at Chen Lei who nodded vigorously as if saved by an angel .
The assistant bowed a few times sincerely as he retreated to the door behind . The door was shut and that was when Lu's waist got raided by a large hot palm which seized her entity . She sighed helplessly, as she was being led all the way to Huo's thighs, like a cat being petted by its owner .
Reflexively she untied the ribbons on the invitation and presented the content to him, "Don't throw things just yet, have a peek . " She decided to be gentle and firm .
"Okay . " Huo agreed, "We hereby would like to invite Mr . Huo Yunting, President of Thunderbolt Corp . to the Mansion of Huo Family in Kyoto Neighborhood on October 15th for the celebration dinner . Yours sincerely, Huo Zhenning . "

"Oh, a party, wohooo…" His tone went flat as he read the invitation word by word, with a smile colored by his stiffened indifference .
"Do you think it's truly sincerely written?" Muttered he as he turned to Lu .
"Well, didn't Assistant Chen say it before? The man wrote every letter himself, what do you think?"
Like seriously, I nearly dropped my jaws when I see the old man penning an actual invitation to you in full cursive writing .
"Tsk, please," disdained Huo, "It's probably just a dinner for his second baby or something . It wasn't like this was the first child he h-" He held his words, as he seemingly realized something . The grip at Lu's waist tightened, "I almost forgot . He has no son . I am not his son . So technically, he should be overjoyed having his fi-"
"I am going back this weekend regardless," interrupted Lu as she placed the invitation on the table, "Didn't I remember someone needs me to cuddle every night to sleep? Well, if you aren't coming along, sleep alone . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
