NOVEL NEXT Chapter 903: 903
When the doorbell for the meal delivery rang, Lu Yumei finally composed herself and went to the door to get the food, pretending as if nothing had happened.
By then, it had been half an hour since ordering and about twenty minutes since she saw Liu Zhizhong.
Time was enough to ease everything.
Time is the most magical thing, even an Emperor fears time!
Lu Yumei placed the breakfast for two in the villa's dining room.
The dining room also had a view of Immortal Lake.
At around eight in the morning, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, even the sunlight wasn't too glaring.
After all, today in Yangzhou it's 42 degrees, schools have postponed reopening for a week, while here the high is 26 and the low is 18, what fantastic weather!
Setting the breakfast on the table, looking out at the scenic Immortal Lake, the beach bustling with tourists playing in the water, rowing, sailing, it truly felt like a South Asian vibe, Lu Yumei was in an excellent mood, worth the trip indeed!
Thinking about the beautiful view, thinking about the handsome man lying in the bedroom over there, she felt truly satisfied!
After setting the breakfast, Lu Yumei pretended nothing was up and boldly sat down to call Liu Zhizhong to come and eat breakfast.
Liu Zhizhong was jolted awake from his dream, took a look at his phone, oh, it was his mother-in-law!
By now, he had indeed slept quite a while, and he felt a bit sore!
He sat up and accepted the call.
"Hey, Zhizhong, get up and have breakfast! I've already ordered, waiting for you here in the dining room!"
"Ah, Mrs. Lu, you see I... was dead asleep, sorry to trouble you! How did you know I was here?"
Liu Zhizhong pretended to be clueless, as he had already guessed she must have seen his car, she couldn't have opened the door and seen him, right?
Sure enough, Lu Yumei said, "Oh, I didn't know you were here! I saw your car when I went out for breakfast, that's how I knew you were here. When did you arrive last night?"
"Haha, I arrived after two o'clock!"
"Did you... go into the master bedroom?" Lu Yumei felt a little anxious but had to ask. Matters of reputation, haha...
Liu Zhizhong, quick-witted as ever, replied directly, "Ah, Mrs. Lu, why would I go into the master bedroom? Yesterday, after driving over a thousand kilometers, I was exhausted. Dragging my suitcase, even walking was a struggle. I saw the master bedroom lights were on, didn't dare to enter, and just took a shower and slept in the guest room. If you hadn't called, I'd still be asleep now!"
As Liu Zhizhong spoke, he rolled over and stood up, stark naked, little Zhizhong swaying intriguingly.
"Oh, haha... indeed, you're something! Driving in the middle of the night, over a thousand kilometers, do you really need to drive all in one day?"
Lu Yumei felt much relieved and started to complain a little.
Liu Zhizhong chuckled and said, "Mrs. Lu, you don't realize, once I start driving, I can't stop till I reach my destination! When I finally stopped at the service area last night, I couldn't sleep there either!"
"Why couldn't you sleep?"
"I was thinking, with you at Immortal Lake, not too far, but not too close either. The key is, you drove for such a long time yesterday, must be quite tired, right?"
"Haha, indeed very tiring. And then?"
"Then, Immortal Lake has been bustling lately, lots of people, hard to avoid some bad ones. A beautiful, seasoned single woman like you here, what if you encounter some danger? So I thought it's best to arrive early."
Lu Yumei laughed, "You little guy, truly filial! All right, tidy up and come have breakfast quickly, or it'll get cold..."
