Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 125 Little Temper

The next morning, while Nan Xu was still asleep, Lu Zhiyan had already gone downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Logically speaking, today is not the weekend, and there are maids at home who prepare three meals a day, but he just wants to do it himself today.

After breakfast was prepared, Lu Zhiyan carried it into the bedroom on a tray.

We stayed up too late yesterday, and Nanxu probably hasn't woken up yet. I don't know when she'll wake up. Rather than waiting for her to wake up, it's better to let her eat some now while it's still warm.

Lu Zhiyan carefully placed the tray on the table, then walked to the bedside and softly called Nan Xu's name, "A Ning, breakfast is ready."

Nanxu opened one eye with difficulty, then quickly closed it again, her voice slightly hoarse, "I won't eat."

"Eat something. I have to go to work today, and I don't know how long you'll sleep. Wash up and eat something to tide you over."

Nan Xu immediately changed her sleeping position, turning her head away from Lu Zhiyan.

"How dare you say that? If it weren't for your meddling, I would already be up by now!" Nan Xu thought to herself.

I don't know what happened yesterday. She rarely bothers Lu Zhiyan; it's usually Lu Zhiyan who bothers her. But yesterday, she actually took the initiative to bother Lu Zhiyan.

Recalling that passionate scene, Nanxu still feels a blush creeping onto her face.

Having no other choice, Lu Zhiyan walked to the other side and said, "Stop pretending to be asleep, get up and eat something."

"I don't want to!" Nan Xu's voice was nasal and contained a hint of resistance.

Lu Zhiyan raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was already 8:20, and he had to leave for work.

He has other things to do this afternoon; he needs to finish up all the company matters this morning.

"If you don't want to get up, then don't. I have things to do at the company, so I'll be leaving now." With that, she turned and walked out.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Nan Xu stood up and glanced at Lu Zhiyan's departing figure.

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes as she slowly got out of bed and went into the bathroom.

Stepping out of the bathroom and looking at the breakfast laid out on the table, I thought about what had happened that morning and suddenly lost my appetite.

She walked to the balcony, glanced casually at the maid watering the flowers in the flower bed, and said in a light voice, "Sister Li, bring me a cup of coffee and take breakfast down with you."

The maid, who was called Sister Li, nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes, Miss, I'll take it up to you right away."

As he spoke, he quickly put down the watering can he was holding.

She didn't linger on the balcony and immediately returned to her bedroom.

Lu Zhiyan paused as he opened the door, glancing at the time again; only ten minutes had passed.

Washing up and eating breakfast only took ten minutes? Given Nanxu's personality, she wouldn't have done it that quickly.

He glanced helplessly at the documents in his hand, sighed, and walked inside again.

He must be angry.

Perhaps it was his bad attitude today? Did he neglect Nanxu? But he really had something to deal with today.

Nanxu can be a bit of a taciturn person sometimes; if you don't take the initiative to talk to her, she'll probably keep it all bottled up inside.

At that time, it won't just be Nan Xu who will suffer; he won't have an easy time either.

As for what happened this afternoon, we can do it another day.

When Sister Li brought the coffee out of the kitchen, Lu Zhiyan stopped her.

"Give me the coffee, I'll take it upstairs." He said, taking the coffee from Sister Li's hand.

Sister Li hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Young Master, you're going to be late for work."

"It's nothing." He said, taking the coffee and walking towards the stairs.

When Lu Zhiyan pushed open the bedroom door, Nan Xu was leaning against the bed watching TV.

The TV was showing the hottest variety show right now, "Goodbye Lovers".

"Goodbye Lovers" is a drama show that tries to piece together the broken love of famous celebrities.

Nan Xu loves gossip, especially in the entertainment industry; she could talk about it for three days and three nights straight. That's why she's recently become a huge fan of this variety show.

But in Lu Zhiyan's eyes, it became that Nanxu wanted to break up with him.

They've said goodbye to their lovers.

Doesn't this foreshadow their impending breakup? It shouldn't come to that, right? Nan Xu was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even notice that it was Lu Zhiyan who came in to deliver the coffee.

"Put the coffee on the table first, then take the breakfast downstairs," Nan Xu said lazily, her eyes glued to the television.

They didn't even give the newcomers a second glance.

Lu Zhiyan glanced at the breakfast on the table, but didn't touch it.

"Aren't you going to eat something?" Lu Zhiyan's voice suddenly rang out.

Nan Xu hadn't realized anything was wrong and casually said, "I have no appetite, I don't want to eat breakfast."

"Do you not want to eat breakfast, or do you not want to eat the breakfast I made?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Lu Zhiyan's dark eyes, but it was gone in an instant.

But then he thought, what did Nanxu do wrong? She was just a little cold towards him, and that wasn't Nanxu's fault.

Nan Xu was somewhat surprised to see Lu Zhiyan. Wasn't he supposed to be at work?
She glanced at Lu Zhiyan and asked in a questioning tone, "Didn't you go to work? Why haven't you left yet?"

"I've been thinking about it, and the company isn't too busy today. I'll leave after you've had breakfast." Lu Zhiyan put the coffee on the table and sat down on the bed.

"I don't have an appetite right now, I'll eat later. You should go to work." Nan Xu urged Lu Zhiyan to leave.

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow.

"No, if you're busy at work, just go to work."

"Are you angry?" Lu Zhiyan met Nan Xu's gaze and asked seriously.

When Nanxu met Shanglu Zhiyan's gaze, she looked away guiltily, saying, "Nothing of the sort, don't overthink it."

Lu Zhiyan cupped Nan Xu's face and kissed her, only letting go after a while. "I didn't change just because I proposed. I didn't mean to neglect you. I really had something to do at my company, so I had to leave in a hurry."

He understood perfectly why Nanxu was in a bad mood; it was simply because Nanxu felt the difference before and after the proposal was too great, and she was upset.

Nan Xu blushed and nodded. "I understand."

"So you're still angry after all?" Lu Zhiyan moved a little closer, nose to nose with Nan Xu.

Nan Xu lowered her eyes and softly hummed in response, her voice barely audible.

"Is your appetite any better now? Can you eat breakfast?"

"I think so." Nan Xu touched the tip of her nose.

Now that things have come to this point, it would be ungrateful of her not to give Lu Zhiyan a friendly look.

Lu Zhiyan released Nan Xu's face and turned to the table next to him to serve her breakfast.

By the time Nanxu finished breakfast, it was already 8:40, which meant she was definitely late for work. Fortunately, Secretary Li was still at the company to cover for her.

Secretary Li is very capable at work. Apart from being a bit quirky and silly, she is otherwise impeccable.

Nan Xu also felt somewhat guilty because Lu Zhiyan had even turned down work.

"I was wrong about what happened today. I won't throw a tantrum next time." Nan Xu lowered her eyes, adopting an attitude of admitting her mistake.

"Don't worry about it. By the way, I've invited Auntie, Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom to dinner tonight. It's like the two families are officially meeting each other's parents."

"Then I started preparing for the engagement banquet." Lu Zhiyan got up and cleaned up the remaining "leftovers".

"So rushed?" Nan Xu was a little shocked. It only took three days from meeting the parents to proposing!

"Yes, I'm eager to marry you. But there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on." Lu Zhiyan put down what he was holding and asked Nan Xu.

"What is it?" Nan Xu asked, puzzled.

"The proposal video from yesterday was secretly filmed and posted online. The entire proposal was also recorded by a drone. I'll send you the specific videos and photos later. You can pick some you like to post online."

“We’re not public figures, do we really need to post this so publicly online?” Nan Xu asked.

"Yes, it's all beneficial and without any harm. We can take advantage of this opportunity to push up the stock prices of Lu's and Xinghe."

Lu Zhiyan also had selfish motives, but he didn't say it.

"Okay, fine." Nan Xu nodded, she would listen to Lu Zhiyan anyway.

"Then I'm going to work. I'll pick you up tonight to go to the restaurant."

"it is good."
