Chapter 431
They had just stepped out of the office when they saw Lu Zhaoyang walking toward them . Her hair was a little messy and she seemed hurried .
Where has she gone to? Su Cheng wondered .
Lu Zhaoyang pretended as though nothing had happened and stopped in front of Huo Yunting . “What do you want for lunch?”
“Not you, that’s for sure . ”
She hesitated as she recalled what happened in the office earlier . The smile on her face turned awkward . “I don’t understand . ”
The three of them continued walking along the corridor, but a moment later, Su Cheng was gone from the scene .
Only the two of them were left when they reached the elevator . The tiny space was filled with silence .
Huo Yunting drove them both straight back to his mansion instead of going somewhere outside for lunch .
When they were about to reach home, Lu Zhaoyang finally mustered the courage to say to him, “Earlier, in the office… I was wrong, I don’t actually like to…”
How should I explain this?
Sigh, there’s nothing I can say .
Huo Yunting waited for her to continue, but she remained quiet even after lunch .
How dare she seduce me like that but pretended like nothing happened after?
How interesting .
After dinner, he went upstairs himself .
Lu Zhaoyang sat alone on the sofa and browsed mindlessly through the channels on the TV .
She was in no mood for anything on the screen, however . After a while, she switched off the device and took a glance at the stairs .
She then took out her phone and checked the calendar . Huo Yunting’s birthday was approaching .
In the past, he would hang out with Mu Xian and gang on his birthday . This year should be the same .

She never did anything for him on his birthday before, much less buying a present for him .
“Ma’am, would you like a blanket?” A maid brought a blanket to her and asked quietly .
It was the wish of the master of the house .
“Thank you . ” She took the blanket and covered her legs with it .
Did the maid think that she would take a nap here?
She noticed how the afternoon rays shone in through the window and found that the idea of a nap here was not so bad after all . It was how she would spend an idle weekend .
She covered herself with the blanket and slept on the sofa .
Since she did not sleep well last night and had to wake up early this morning, the nap was long and restful . It had been a long while since she slept this well .
When she finally woke up, the bright afternoon sun had turned into an orange subset .

She was going to have trouble sleeping that night after such a long nap .
“Ma’am, you’re awake . ” A maid approached her with a plate of fruits . “Sir is at the backyard, would you like to…”
She looked down meaningfully at the fruit platter .
Lu Zhaoyang understood her immediately . She took the plate from her . “I’ll do it . ”
“Thank you, ma’am . ” The maid smiled and collected the blanket from her .
Lu Zhaoyang took the fruit platter to the back, where Huo Yunting was sitting under an umbrella and looking at his laptop .
Everything was so quiet and peaceful . She tip-toed quietly to him and took a look at his laptop screen .
She thought he was watching a movie, but it turned out that he was doing work-related reading, and on a weekend no less .
She put down the fruit platter and picked up a small fork in the plate . “What would you like to have?”

When Huo Yunting heard her voice, he flexed his fingers that were resting on the keyboard and started typing .
“I’ll have them all . ”
Lu Zhaoyang brought a grape to his lips and watched as he slowly opened his mouth .
He chewed on the fruit but said nothing else .
That was alright . At least he did not reject her like before .
She remembered how lifeless he was back in the morgue and shuddered inside .
Slowly but surely, he finished all the fruits in the plate .
Lu Zhaoyang quietly put her finger near his lips . When Huo Yunting took a bite, he realised that he was biting her finger .
