Chapter 821: How Embarrassing

The thin needle was already injected into her bloodstream, and the medicine had flowed in drip by drip into her blood vessels.

Jia Xinguo did not leave and stayed instead; after all, it was not very convenient to keep coming and going to change her medicine.

However, when Chu Lui made a decent table of dishes after the clinks and clanks in the kitchen, he was really surprised until his jaw dropped. How could a man like Chu Lui cook?

This man decked in expensive suits and was cold and heartless, was ruthless to his opponents in the business world, and would not stop until his enemy’s throat was ripped apart.

He should be in a high-class place.

A bowling alley...

A business meeting or even a romantic restaurant, but not in the kitchen. Could anyone even imagine a man with a suit and a tie, together with a pair of Italian made leather shoes, busying himself in the kitchen? No matter if other people believed it; Jia Xinguo would never believe that Chu Lui was someone that would enter the kitchen.

Let alone eat something that Chu Lui made... that was incredulous.

However, was this edible?

Would it be tasty?

Would he die from eating it?

He held the bowl and gulped down a bowl of water. Even though he was not picky, he still could not swallow down anything inedible. However, this was made by Chu Lui so no matter how bad it tasted, he could only gulp it down. Even if he vomited after eating, he could only do it.

Carefully, he picked up some noodles and placed it in his mouth as if he was running towards his death. Then, he bit it carefully; the taste was not too bad, and in fact, it was pretty tasty.

“Mr. Chu, your noodles are pretty nice.”

Jia Xinguo was saying the truth. When he first ate the noodles, it was bland; but after he finished it, he realized that the taste was not bad.

“I only know how to cook noodles.” Chu Lui picked up his bowl. Actually, most of the time, he would cook noodles for himself. He really did not lie as, all he knew, was really just this bowl of noodles. He did not know anything else.

Jia Xinguo was a smart person and naturally knew what he could ask and not ask. The things that he could not ask, he did not need to know. When he finished eating, he automatically picked up his bowl and prepared to wash it.

In the end—as Chu Lui put a foot forward, he heard the sound of the plates breaking in the kitchen.

“He was just like me at the start.” Chu Lui placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s face. “However, I believe that if I am willing and if I work hard, there is nothing that I can’t do.

“Back then, I broke even more bowls than he did; now, I can make a bowl of noodles. Rainy loves it very much. It’s a pity you haven’t tried it yet.”

Xia Ruoxin did not wake up and was sleeping soundly. There was not much color on her pale face, and her originally red lips had also lost their color. In Jiang Nan, she knew how to do makeup so she would look livelier; but after she removed her makeup, she was very pale. However, it had nothing to do with ugliness.

One could not deny that heaven had given her a pretty good face. Even when she was as thin as a bag of bones, no one felt that she was ugly. Surprisingly, she looked better when she was thin; even if she was chubby, she would definitely not be ugly.

The skinny her made her eyes look especially big, her chin sharper, and her five features even more distinct. Together with her naturally good skin, even though she was too white, on a closer look; she had no flaws at all. If she smiled, it was soft and warm which made people comfortable. When she was quiet, she was pure, innocent, harmonious, and natural.

As for the chubby her, Chu Lui had not seen it up till now because Xia Ruoxin was never chubby.

He reached out his fingers and landed on the woman’s slightly cold face. He did not move and continued to accompany her and wait for her.

At this time, the phone in his pocket rang, and there was the sound of birds chirping. Someone called. He took out his phone and saw the kind of unfamiliar number. However, to him, it was not too unfamiliar. It was Xia Yixuan’s. Without hesitation, he pressed the reject button and threw the phone aside.

Not long later, someone called again; and it was the same person. He still did not want to pick up.

It was until the third call, and then there was some hatred in his eyes. He took his phone over and pressed a few buttons.

He had directly blacklisted the number.

Not long after, his phone rang again. This time, it was not anyone else but Song Wan.

He could not answer the rest, but this call... it seemed as though he had to answer it... even though he was not too willing.

He answered it and walked to the side, pressing his phone against his ear.

“Mom, is there something wrong?”

There was no sound on the other end.

“Mom,” Chu Lui said again, “I’m really busy. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

“Wait, Brother Lui. It’s me...”

Chu Lui held his phone tightly, and his brows knitted. “Xia Yixuan, why do you have my mom’s phone?”

Xia Yixuan—on the other end—opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say. She forced a smile and felt that she was quite dumb as there was no one here for her to smile at.

“Brother Lui, it’s because you didn’t want to answer my call so I used Auntie’s phone to call you. I was thinking...” She licked her lips and swallowed the discomfort in her heart. “Uh, I was thinking... no, I mean Auntie wanted me to ask you when you will come home.”

In the end—before she finished talking, there was the disconnection sound from the other end.

Chu Lui had hung up on her.

She stomped her feet in anger and clenched her teeth. That woman was already dead. What more did he want? In the past, he was very nice to her and would give her whatever she wanted. Then, it was fine that he ignored her; now, he did not even want to talk to her. Was she really that annoying? She was Yixuan—Xia Yixuan.

“So how?” Song Wan came out of the kitchen. “What did Ah Lui say? What time will he come back today? I have already prepared all the dishes; he hasn’t come home in a while.”

Xia Yixuan’s smile stiffened.

“Brother Lui said that his office was busy today so he wouldn’t be coming home. He told us to eat by ourselves at night.”

Of course, she was not dumb until she would tell other people that Chu Lui hung up on her. If she said that, how embarrassing it would be for her.
