Since I've already time-traveled, of course I'm going to take the shortcut!

Lu Yao quite liked Yao Suna's outfit tonight; the off-the-shoulder bodycon dress gave off a very motherly vibe.

In the eyes of an old pervert, the feeling of a stepmother is inherently alluring.

Yao Suna's radiance still ranks among the top among the many women Lü Yao has seen.

So when Lü Yao entered Yao Suna's house, he sincerely complimented her, "You look beautiful tonight. Here's the wine you wanted, and this is a small gift for you."

Lu Yao handed the two sealed gift boxes in his hand to Yao Suna.

Yao Suna tilted her head and smiled, "Is your way of praising people so cliché?"

As she spoke, she opened the wine box that Lü Yao had brought. Inside was a bottle of liqueur-rich sweet wine, clearly made with care. When Yao Suna opened another gift box, the bouquet of fresh flowers overflowed from the opening, blooming beautifully before her eyes.

The brightly colored flowers seemed to glow, illuminating her face.

Upon seeing this, Yao Suna couldn't help but smile: "The gift is so tacky."

Lu Yao laughed from Yao Suna's kitchen, "Don't you like it? Luckily there's a trash can in the kitchen."

Yao Suna picked up the full box and tilted her head, saying, "No. I like the tacky kind."

Lü Yao smiled.

The more worldly a woman is, the more effective some simple, mundane tricks might be.

For example, taking the other person to an amusement park, or specifically choosing a romantic but not very useful gift.

This is also a good little trick to test someone's true colors.

Lu Yao found an apron in the kitchen and put it on, then glanced around Yao Suna's kitchen and refrigerator.

Yao Suna really put in a lot of effort for tonight's meeting, preparing plenty of ingredients.

The refrigerator's crisper drawer contained a premium-quality steak that looked incredibly fresh, along with side dishes such as onions, garlic, and asparagus that also appeared very fresh.

In addition, Lü Yao also found ingredients such as chicken, duck, and fish inside.

Yao Suna didn't know what kind of dinner Lü Yao was going to prepare, so she prepared a variety of ingredients.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Yao decided to cook a Western meal.

Everyone shared the food on separate plates.

Actually, the key to pan-fried steak is the sauce; the steak itself just needs the heat controlled properly. Besides that, pairing it with some side dishes can make for a pretty and visually appealing meal.

It was his first time cooking at someone else's house, and he didn't want to go to too much trouble.

Moreover, most Western dishes, as long as they are not Italian, French, or Turkish, are quite quick to prepare.

A steak that is meticulously plated is already considered a rather elaborate white meal.

Lu Yao lit both stoves at the same time and finished cooking in less than half an hour. He then placed the prepared dishes on Yao Suna's dining table and said with a smile, "It's ready."

While Lü Yao was busy, Yao Suna was also busy helping out, showing exceptional virtuousness. After the kitchen was no longer needed, she went to arrange the flowers that Lü Yao had sent.

When Lü Yao brought the prepared dinner to the table, Yao Suna had already placed the flowers that Lü Yao had brought into three vases.

One of the vases was placed on their dining table.

Yao Suna withdrew her hand from the vase, bent down and smelled the dinner that Lü Yao had brought out: "It smells so good~"

As she spoke, she stood up and moved closer to Lü Yao, her eyes filled with tenderness like the flickering candlelight in the room: "I didn't expect you to be such a good cook of Western food."

Lü Yao leaned closer and said with a smile, "I'm not just good at cooking."

Yao Suna glared at Lü Yao: "You're being indecent."

"I'm going to wash my hands."

Lü Yao took off his apron and sat down at the dining table to wait.

After Yao Suna returned, they drank and chatted about interesting things while eating and drinking.

Yao Suna: "I heard MMC upgraded you to Black Gold member?"

Lü Yao nodded: "Yes."

Yao Suna stopped eating, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Lü Yao: "So, what exactly is your identity?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Take a guess?"

Yao Suna tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It's definitely not a young master from Shangnan. Could it be from Dahai or Dajing?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "None of those are true."

Yao Suna pouted: "Fine, don't tell me then."

By this time, Lü Yao had almost finished eating. He took a sip of the sweet red wine he had brought, wiped his mouth, and said, "Actually, I got along quite well with Jiang Wange, the owner of MMC, so he gave me a Black Gold membership."

Yao Suna feigned anger: "You're kidding me."

She got up, picked up the dishes, and walked towards the dishwasher in the kitchen: "Fine, I won't say it then."

Lu Yao got up and followed her, blocking Yao Suna's path as she stood up and turned around, pinning her against the edge of the kitchen counter and laughing, "You really want to know?"

Yao Suna said indirectly, "I want to know more about you."

Lu Yao lowered his head and moved closer to Yao Suna, the ambiguous atmosphere between them intensifying rapidly. Yao Suna, seemingly shy, lowered her head and backed away, asking, "What...what are you going to do?"

Lily, who had been hiding in the shadows using her invisibility skill, finally cheered up!

Why did Ganli Niang dawdle for so long, cooking and chatting, and only now is she finally getting into the main storyline?

If this were set in Japan, the plot would be completely unacceptable!

The wind-up animation is too long!

The fast-forward button is worn out from pressing it so many times!

Unfortunately, this is reality, not a Japanese adult film.

But all the waiting was worth it; now is the time to see the real thing.

Lily, who was hiding in the shadows, even secretly took out her phone. Once she got the video, she would... hehehehe... then she would use the video to blackmail that bastard Lü Yao.

Just imagining herself standing on a chair and saying to that bastard Lu Yao, "You don't want Lin Meiting to see this video either, do you?" made her feel so good that every pore on her body seemed to open up.

As Lü Yao drew ever closer, Yao Suna, who had been locked in a tense and ambiguous relationship with him, revealed a hint of reluctance and resistance in her eyes.

Something's not right with this script!

When did this guy Lü Yao start bringing things here?

Hidden in the shadows of Lü Yao's heart, Yao Suna said, "Lü Yao, I'm not a casual person. Please respect me, okay?"

Lü Yao chuckled: "I'm not just anyone. You're letting me come to your house?"

Yao Suna: "I believe you..."

As she was talking, Yao Suna suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Lu Yao's hand had somehow reached her neck and was slowly applying pressure.

Yao Suna's heart skipped a beat. Her power, which was far greater than Lü Yao's, erupted instantly. A supernatural force field burst forth from Yao Suna's body, and Lü Yao instantly felt as if he had been smashed into a wall made of steel and sent flying.

Just then, Lü Yao suddenly shouted, "Lily!"

Hidden in the shadows, Nangong Lili instinctively tensed up, her invisibility instantly fading as she reappeared at Yao Suna's house...

Amidst the surging energy, Lü Yao swiftly gave the order:

"Grab her!"
