Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight
Chapter 58: Conquering the Arrogant Young Master of a Wealthy Family
The luncheon was held in the glass conservatory restaurant on one side of the main building of the Lu residence.
Beneath the enormous crystal chandelier, a long dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and silver cutlery and crystal glasses reflected a dazzling light.
The members of the Lu family took their seats one after another.
Grandpa Lu sat in the main seat, with Lu Yuze's parents and Lu Yichuan's parents sitting on either side, followed by Lu Yuze, Chen Su, and Lu Yichuan.
The family enjoyed a harmonious and pleasant meal together.
However, two people at the table, facing a table full of delicacies, seemed somewhat uninterested.
The two shared the cake that morning, and their stomachs were still full of sweetness.
Chen Su only symbolically picked up a few slices of stir-fried vegetables and ate her rice in small bites.
She doesn't eat much to begin with, and now she's eating like a cat.
Seeing this, Grandpa Lu put down his spoon and looked kindly at Chen Su: "Su Su, why are you eating so little today? Is the food at home not to your liking? What would you like to eat? Let the kitchen make it again."
Chen Su quickly put down her chopsticks, waved her hand and shook her head: "No, Grandpa Lu, the food was delicious, it was me..."
She was about to make up an excuse like "I'm not very hungry" when Lu Yu, who had been eating quietly beside her, suddenly spoke up, his tone flat:
"She ate until she was full after sneaking a bite."
Several pairs of eyes on the table immediately focused on them.
Lu Yu then used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for himself, and slowly added, "I ate more than half of the cake by myself."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lu was taken aback at first, then remembered that Chen Su had indeed brought a large box when she came in the morning, saying it was for Yu Ze's snacks. He couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head: "You child... you can't eat desserts as a meal."
Chen Su was speechless and secretly glared at Lu Yuze, but he seemed not to notice and continued to eat with elegant manners.
She still had to maintain a sweet smile: "I know, Grandpa Lu, it won't happen again next time."
At this moment, Madam Lu—
Lu Yuze's mother, a gentle and elegant lady, smiled and started a new topic with Chen Su: "Su Su, what has your mother been busy with lately? I haven't seen her come over for tea for quite some time."
Chen Su composed herself and obediently replied, "Auntie, my mother hasn't had much to do lately, just reading books and arranging flowers."
"That's perfect," Mrs. Lu said with a smile. "Let her come over to our house more often when she has time, and keep me company. You should come over often too, and make yourself at home here."
"Yes, I will tell my mother. Thank you, Auntie," Chen Su replied sweetly.
The meal continued in a subtly awkward atmosphere.
She ate very little to begin with, and quickly finished her almost untouched lunch.
While the adults were still chatting, she said softly, "I'm done eating, Grandpa Lu, please enjoy your meal, Uncle and Aunt," and then got up and left the table.
After she left, Grandpa Lu looked at his grandson across from him, who had also barely eaten anything, and raised an eyebrow: "Yichuan, why are you eating so little too?"
Lu Yichuan was idly poking at the rice in his bowl when he heard this. He was about to open his mouth, intending to brush it off, when his cousin, sitting next to him, without even lifting his eyelids, wiped his mouth with a tissue and delivered a precise blow:
He ate the other half of the cake.
Lu Yichuan: "..."
_
Chen Su did not go to the guest room at the Lu family's house.
The afternoon sun shone through the glass windows of the corridor, casting dappled patterns on the floor.
She turned and walked familiarly toward Lu Yuze's room.
Pushing open the heavy solid wood door, you'll find a spacious room with simple and cool furnishings, mainly in black, white, and gray tones, consistent with the style of his office—simple, tidy, and meticulous.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is a neatly manicured garden and a fountain in the distance.
The air was filled with a very faint scent of pine needles, belonging to Lu Yuze, clear and calm.
The morning's running around and acting cute seemed to have taken a toll on her energy, and now, enveloped in this familiar and comforting atmosphere, a wave of drowsiness washed over her.
She kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the incredibly comfortable-looking bed without thinking much about it.
The mattress was soft, and his scent was more noticeable on the pillow.
Chen Su wrapped herself in a blanket, curled up on her side, and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
_
After an unknown amount of time, the door was gently pushed open.
Lu Yu walked in and stopped in his tracks when he saw the small bulge on his bed.
The girl was fast asleep, her cheek pressed against the pillow, her chestnut hair spread out, covering half of her face, her long eyelashes resting quietly on her eyelids, her pink lips slightly parted, and her breathing even.
The neckline of the dress was slightly crooked, revealing a section of her fair and delicate neck.
Lu Yu walked to the bedside, looked down at it for a moment, his face expressionless.
As she slept, she shed all her fierce and arrogant nature, appearing exceptionally soft and harmless.
He reached out and gently pulled up the thin blanket that had slipped down to her waist as she turned over, carefully covering her shoulders.
After doing all this, he straightened up, his gaze lingering on her peaceful sleeping face for a moment, then turned around, quietly left the room, and gently closed the door.
When Chen Su woke up, the room was already somewhat dimly lit.
She groggily pulled out her phone and saw that it was already past five in the afternoon.
I slept exceptionally soundly and peacefully.
She sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and was still covered with the soft, thin blanket.
Without thinking much, she got out of bed and went into the bathroom connected to the bedroom, washed her face with cold water, and fully woke up.
She straightened her slightly messy hair and clothes in front of the mirror before leaving the room.
She encountered the housekeeper in the corridor and asked, "Uncle Wang, where is Brother Yuze?"
The butler replied respectfully, "Miss Chen, the eldest young master is in the study."
"Thank you." Chen Su walked briskly towards the study.
The afternoon was quiet, with thick carpets in the corridor that made no sound when you stepped on them.
The study door was ajar.
She gently pushed the door open; the light inside was dimmer than in the bedroom, and the curtains were half-drawn.
She immediately noticed that Lu Yuze was not sitting behind his desk, but rather leaning against a large sofa on one side of the study.
He had his long legs spread wide, his arms crossed over his chest, his head slightly lowered, his eyes closed, and his breathing steady and long, as if he were asleep.
The afternoon sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, falling precisely on half of his face, outlining the lines of his straight nose and thin lips. His thick eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, softening his daytime aloofness and playfulness, and instead revealing a rare, unguarded tranquility.
Chen Su closed the door, tiptoed, and quietly walked to his side. She squatted down, rested her elbows on the sofa armrest, and propped her chin up, staring at his face so closely and without any attempt to hide it.
She didn't say anything, but just tilted her head back and looked at him quietly.
No matter how many times you look at this face, you can't find any flaws.
Her skin was a cool-toned white, her eyelashes were incredibly long, her nose was high and straight, and the curve of her lips... even when she was asleep, they still had a habitual slight pursing.
They look so friendly.
She was so engrossed in watching that she unconsciously tilted her head slightly.
"Is it pretty?"
Suddenly, Lu Yu, without opening his eyes, moved his thin lips slightly and uttered three words.
His voice, slightly hoarse from just waking up, resonated deeply in the quiet air.
Chen Su was startled, then laughed, her eyes curving into crescents, and answered confidently, "It looks good."
She leaned closer and added, her voice tinged with a sweet and smug tone, "Of course my fiancé is handsome."
Lu Yu then slowly opened his eyelids.
He had just woken up, and a faint trace of drowsiness lingered in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by his usual deep and clear gaze.
He didn't respond to her words, but simply sat up straight, raised his hand to pinch his brow, and casually glanced at the clock on the wall.
Chen Su followed his gaze.
The clock hand has already pointed to 5:30.
A slight thought crossed her mind.
Time is up.
"Brother Yuze, you continue to rest. I'm going out for a walk to get some fresh air."
She stood up, her tone light and natural.
Lu Yu glanced at her, said nothing, only gave a faint "hmm", and seemed a little tired before leaning back against the sofa.
Chen Su didn't linger. She turned and left the study, gently closing the door behind her.
The corridor was quiet.
She turned and walked towards Lu Yichuan's usual study and reception room.
As she reached the door, she raised her hand and knocked lightly.
A lazy, impatient voice came from inside: "Who is it? Come in!"
Chen Su pushed open the door.
The room has a typical youthful style, with a slightly messy and trendy vibe.
Lu Yichuan was lounging casually in the single sofa by the window, his long legs casually draped over the edge of the low table in front of him.
Several textbooks and exercise books were scattered on the low table.
A young girl was sitting in the armchair opposite him.
The girl was wearing a simple white cotton shirt and light blue jeans, which were a little faded from washing, but were very clean and tidy.
Her slightly frizzy long hair was tied into a low ponytail, which made her look refreshing and capable. Her features were not particularly stunning, but they were very pleasing to the eye when put together, especially her eyes, which were clear and calm, exuding a scholarly air.
She was holding an open book when she heard the door open and looked in the direction of the sound.
Their eyes met briefly in the air.
Meanwhile, upon seeing Chen Su, Lu Yichuan's face immediately contorted with utter disdain. He sat up straight and said in a harsh tone, "Chen Su? What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm giving you a tutoring session? I'm busy, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense!"
