Chapter 1032: The Black Sea

After Meng Jinyang and Qin Yaozhi had lunch at the Lu manor, they returned to Capital University.

In the evening.

Lu Chengzhou returned with spicy rice cakes, Mala broth and milk tea. He glanced around the main hall.

Without waiting for his question, Butler Lu answered respectfully. "Madam is in the study."

Lu Chengzhou looked upstairs. "We are moving to the Royal Garden tomorrow. The chef and the diet.i.tian will follow."

"Got it." Butler Lu responded and watched as Lu Chengzhou carried the food straight up the stairs.

Lu Yi felt hungry when he smelled the spicy rice cakes and the Mala broth along the way. He immediately went to the kitchen to look for the food and he even took out a packet of Latiao from his pocket.

Butler Lu looked at the Latiao which costs 50 cents and he was silent. "Why would you buy something like that?"

Lu Yi said softly, "Our Madam wants it but she never got the chance to eat it. Hush I'm doing this secretly because our Master does not allow her to eat this."

Butler Lu was silent.

At the Lu manor, even a bottle of water cost thousands. Now, they had spicy rice cakes, Mala broth, milk tea, and even a packet of Latiao which only costs 50 cents

Butler Lu could not adjust to such a mediocre lifestyle for a moment

Upstairs.

Lu Chengzhou pushed the door open to the study. Gu Mang was lying on the soft chair and a book was sprawled across her face. She seemed to be asleep.

In the next second, Gu Mang suddenly sat up and the book on her face fell onto her lap. She stared at the thing in his hand and did not even look at him.

Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes.

"Fried rice cakes and Mala broth." Gu Mang put the soup to the side and named the items accurately.

Lu Chengzhou stared at her.

Does she have a dog's nose?

The man walked towards her slowly and put the food on the small round table. He held her by the back of the neck and leaned over to bite on her lips softly.

"Do I rank behind food now?" He pressed his forehead against her. "Do I still mean anything to you?"

Gu Mang glanced at the food and back onto him. "Yes."

"What a half-hearted att.i.tude." Lu Chengzhou commented and pinched the back of her neck. He sighed, "It's almost nighttime, don't eat too much."

"K." Gu Mang responded casually and picked up a fork.

Lu Chengzhou sat across from her and poked the straw into the milk tea for her. Then, he put it in her hand.

Gu Mang took a few bites and licked her lips before she looked up at him. "Aren't you going to eat?"

Lu Chengzhou met her clear, bright and dark eyes. It was unusual of her to still be capable of thinking of him.

He said in an amorous tone, "Feed me."

Gu Mang raised her brows and stared at him for two seconds, then she picked up a fish ball and sent it into his mouth.

"What a good girl." Lu Chengzhou smirked and opened his mouth.

But right when he was about to bite on it, Gu Mang suddenly withdrew her hand.

Lu Chengzhou's gaze paused and so did the smile on his face. He looked up and saw her sly smirk.

Gu Mang put the fish ball into her mouth slowly and her eyes looked wild. "Am I still good?"

Lu Chengzhou looked at the smile on her face and his pupils shrank.

Suddenly he stood up and leaned forward. He reached out his hand to clasp the back of her head, and he kissed her. He opened her lips and teeth, and rolled his tongue.

Gu Mang was speechless.

She watched him let her go and sit back down. He chewed slowly like her and the arc of his jaw moved. He looked really pleased and it was rather attractive.

"Even better." There was a slight smile in Lu Chengzhou's eyes and he licked his lips. "So this is how my wife likes it."

Gu Mang stayed silent as if she was thinking if she should flirt back or concede.

In the end, she pointed at him with the fork and stared at him with her cold and sharp eyes. She did not sound threatening at all. "If you've received the benefit, then admit it."

Lu Chengzhou guessed that this would be her reaction and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gu Mang couldn't be bothered to deal with him, so she looked down and continued eating.

Lu Chengzhou was afraid that it would be too spicy for her, so he poured her a gla.s.s of water. When he returned to sit down, he saw the book that Gu Mang was reading from the corner of his eyes.

The Black Sea.

The cover was the dark and depressing surface of the sea.

Lu Chengzhou picked the book up. "The author of this series is pretty good. If you like to read them, I still have the other four on that bookshelf over there."

Given Lu Chengzhou's status, there were very few things that he would recognize to be worthy of praise or to acknowledge a person's talent sincerely.

There were countless professional and technical books from all the various industries in the entire study, and only Dark's novels could be placed here.

Lu Chengzhou was not surprised that Gu Mang would like this novel.

When he suddenly flipped to the t.i.tle page, he saw a wild and sharp signature on it. He froze.
