"Come on, let’s go. We’re clocking out."
Yun Zijin was a little stunned by Lu Yunque’s sudden actions. ’Is he really in that much of a hurry?’
But, trusting Lu Yunque, Yun Zijin obediently followed his lead.
Still, Lu Yunque’s behavior felt completely out of character to Yun Zijin.
’Where did her cold, aloof, proud, and taciturn domineering CEO go?’
It wasn’t until she was settled in the Rolls-Royce Phantom that Yun Zijin’s head finally cleared. She turned to Lu Yunque. "I already told Aunt Wang we’d be home around seven. There’s no need to rush."
Yun Zijin assumed Lu Yunque was worried about getting home too late and making a bad impression on the household staff, who might then whisper bad things about him to her later.
"I’m not in a hurry. It’s just... this is my first time going to your house for dinner, so I’m a little nervous."
Yun Zijin didn’t have any family living with her, just staff, so Lu Yunque didn’t have to deal with any parents.
But when it came to Yun Zijin, he always felt nervous, no matter the situation.
Hearing Lu Yunque’s words, it finally dawned on Yun Zijin. She never expected him to have a side like this.
"What’s there to be nervous about? It’s not like you’ve never been over. We’re just having a meal together. We eat together all the time. It’s just a change of venue, no different from any other time."
That might be how Yun Zijin saw it, but Lu Yunque disagreed.
"We always eat out. This is the first time I’m having dinner at your house. For me, this is like a bride riding in her wedding sedan for the very first time."
"Hahaha! What kind of analogy is that?"
Lu Yunque’s comment sent Yun Zijin into a fit of laughter.
It was the first time she’d ever heard a grown man compare himself to a blushing bride to describe his feelings.
"The analogy might be a little funny, but the feeling it conveys is about right."
Lu Yunque patted Yun Zijin on the back, worried she might laugh herself out of breath.
"Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous! I’m not going to eat you."
Yun Zijin patted Lu Yunque’s shoulder, encouraging him to relax.
With Yun Zijin’s reassurance and some self-pep talk, Lu Yunque finally managed to relax a little.
The car soon arrived back at Xingyu Mansion. As soon as it stopped at the entrance, Lu Yunque was the first to get out, turning to help Yun Zijin alight.
"Come on, let’s head inside."
Yun Zijin didn’t worry about Zero One and the others behind them. If they were hungry, they knew how to find the kitchen. If they needed anything else, they could come to her directly or send a message.
Lu Yunque followed Yun Zijin into Villa 1 of Xingyu Mansion and then into the main house.
Wang Minli had already come out to the entrance to wait for them, having heard the car approach.
Seeing Lu Yunque at Yun Zijin’s side, Wang Minli’s heart sank, feeling as if a prize pig had just run off with her precious cabbage.
Having worked in wealthy households for so long, Wang Minli of course knew exactly how she should behave around Lu Yunque.
"Aunt Wang, this is my boyfriend."
Yun Zijin gave the two a simple introduction, not giving it much thought.
The two nodded at each other by way of greeting.
"Miss, dinner is ready. Shall you and Mr. Lu be dining now?"
As soon as Yun Zijin gave the word, she could have the kitchen bring the food to the table.
Yun Zijin nodded. "Yes, we’ll eat now. You can have the kitchen staff start serving."
If Yun Zijin wasn’t home, the kitchen staff wouldn’t bring out the food, even if it was ready.
"Of course, Miss. I’ll see to it immediately."
With that, Wang Minli turned and headed toward the kitchen.
Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin followed her inside.


"I’m glad you like it. By the way, what would you like to drink? Wine, or something else?"
