Chapter 16 - S.e.xy Lu Chen

In front of Lu Chen, Xiu Mei was extremely powerless in terms of dominance. The possibility of winning when going against his words were about 1%? or less?

So an hour later, Xiu Mei stood in front of the big front door of the Lu Mansion. Her eyes wandered around as she took in every detail of the home. Instead of the modern architecture, the Lu home’s exterior was an oriental type. The house was only until the second floor but the mansion was very wide and spacious.

As soon as she stepped inside, she understood that Lu Chen lived a minimalist lifestyle. Aside from a handful of paintings and vases, everything was just the basic things you’ll see in a normal home.

Inside was the spacious living room—the L-shaped sofa, a coffee table and the 75" Curved TV.

The walls were in white while the furniture are mostly black. To be exact, it was very monotonous.

"No wonder Lu Chen and Lu Qiang were like that." She whispered. Those 2 blocks of ice are so stiff and aloof that their tastes in fixtures were really... boring.

Even though Xiu Mei lived a minimalist lifestyle, she still have a few colors here and there. If we really compare Lu Chen’s home to hers, anyone can very well understand whose home they are.

While she continued to roam her eyes around the room, she saw something dash to her direction in her peripheral view.

"Oof!" She took a step back due to the crashing impact of Lu Qiang as he rushed to hug her legs. Looking down, she hovered over him as he looked up to stare at her. Though not obvious, his facial expression is almost blank, except for the fact that his eyes are twinkling and livelier than it was before she came.

"It’s been awhile, little Qiang." Xiu Mei crouched to level her eye sight with Lu Qiang as she rubbed his head. The little guy nodded as he once again hugged her by locking his arms around her neck. Xiu Mei cheerfully accepted his hugs as she embraced him back.

The two of them were so focused with each other they did not see the darkening face of Lu Chen who were watching the two of them. He didn’t know why but everytime he sees his son and Xiu Mei become so affectionate like that, he feels too uncomfortable. Was his moods getting weird?

Xiu Mei’s attention was drawn to Lu Chen when he made a slight cough clearing his throat while trying to catch their attention. She paused before she realized that she had completely forgotten Lu Chen’s presence whilst focusing on Lu Qiang.

Her arms locked around firmly on the little kid, she carried him as she stood up from her crouching position.

"Uh... I’ll be putting him to bed as per instruction." She hesitantly said, as her eyes continued to avoid eye contact with Lu Chen. From that sudden proposal from awhile ago and the embarrassment of forgetting his presence, Xiu Mei couldn’t hold a proper eye contact with him yet.

"Okay." Lu Chen replied. "His room is at the second floor, two doors at the left."

She nodded, noting the directions as she started to walk away from him. But as soon as she took her first step on the stairs, she heard Lu Chen say something once again.

"Xiu Mei." He had called spoke her name with such a hypnotizing tone that Xiu Mei’s heart unconciously made a flip. Her actions paused as she turned her head to look back at her boss that was suddenly looking at her with such intensity she couldn’t describe.

"We’ll talk again later." was his words before he turned his back and disappeared in her vision. He did not bother waiting for her reply and just left her and Lu Qiang alone in that area.

Xiu Mei snapped back from her reverie a few seconds after, her thoughts whirling around in her head. Her heart was thumping a bit wildly, clearly nervous to what they will talk about later. In her heart, she knew what he was pertaining about but his mind was denying such dangerous thoughts.

As she continued climbing up the stairs, there were one sentence that kept repeating in her mind.

’Marry me.’

-

"Goodnight, Mom." Lu Qiang’s voice slowly disappeared in his sleep as she finished telling him a bedtime story.

"Goodnight." She whispered back, leaving a kiss on his forehead. In a second, Lu Qiang was already playing in his dream world. Xiu Mei tucked Lu Qiang’s blankets properly before she left his room.

Since she didn’t know what to do next, she went downstairs to go back to the living room hoping to see someone to ask where Lu Chen was. But it was like she and Lu Chen were having a weird telepathic ability that day that she saw him sitting in the living room.

Though, what she had seen was completely stopped her on her tracks.

Xiu Mei stopped from her steps, marveling at the sight in front of her. Her boss, the emperor CEO, in his casual glory—a navy long-sleeved cotton shirt paired with gray cotton pajamas. He was wearing a thin black framed glasses as he casually sipped a calming tea while holding a piece of paper in his other hand. His hair was a bit messy, unlike his usual neat hairstyle he had at work. Though, his messy hair added more s.e.xiness and charm that he was oozing right now.

In all fairness, Xiu Mei had seen her share of good-looking guys in her 25 years of living. It would be a lie if she wasn’t attracted to some good-looking guys, there were some she had a crush on while she was still studying and there were also some handsome businessmen she had met in some parties in the past. But her aloof boss was quite different.

Lu Chen was one of the hottest guys she’d known, but in her opinion, there were still a lot who was more good-looking than him. He was fairly well built in terms of body structure, and often, it would be highlighted by the tight-fit business suits he would wear in some days.

Maybe she had gotten to used to seeing his attractive face that was why she really felt nothing about him but now, she could feel some light ripples somewhere in the depth of her being as she saw him wearing such comfortable and casual clothes.

It was kind of s.e.xy. For real. So this was how much of a visual impact Lu Chen has when he wears homewear clothes.

Xiu Mei paused for a few seconds before composing herself once again. Dang it, why was he so damn good-looking?

Lu Chen long felt her presence even before she had reached the living room. He couldn’t stop chuckling lightly as he sipped from his cup when he saw Xiu Mei dazedly stared at him.

Hmmm, Lu Shao sure did choose a good outfit. Should he consider giving him a bonus for such a good job?

"Sit." Lu Chen said, as he signaled her to sit at the sofa. Xiu Mei moved after a few seconds, settling a few meters away from him. She sat so stiffly with both her hands on her knees. Lu Chen noticed it but he didn’t know what to do hence, he just continued to what they were supposed to talk about from since awhile ago at the office.

"How would you like being Lu Qiang’s mother?"

"..."

Comrade Xiu Mei was then instantly killed in battle.
