“…” In fact, when Meng Chuyuan walked out of the airport lobby, she felt a cold wind blowing against her face. She subconsciously lifted her shoulders and hid half of her head in her scarf.

Just as she was about to complain that Lu Qingye was exaggerating, she shivered from the cold wind and both her eyes narrowed.

Lu Qingye saw with his own eyes that a second ago, she was still holding her head high. After coming out and encountering the cold air, she was like an ostrich with its head buried in sand.

He told Meng Chuyuan, “This is not the coldest time of the day.”

In winter, the sky turned dark relatively early. Before six in the evening, it was already dark. The temperature outside also began to slowly drop.

Meng Chuyuan’s mouth and nose were buried in the scarf. Her voice was muffled and a little regretful. “I must have gone crazy to come all the way here to suffer.”

Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.

The interior of this restaurant was mainly dark-colored. On top of its foundational modern furnishing, there were many Chinese cultural elements incorporated into its interior design. It more or less had an antique charm.

The dining room had a small square table for four. Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan sat opposite each other.

Lu Qingye ordered a table full of Meng Chuyuan’s favorite dishes.

After the dishes were served, Meng Chuyuan held a bowl of hot rice in hrt hand. She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork tenderloin to stuff into her mouth. Then, she ate the rice in big mouthfuls.

It was Meng Chuyuan’s first time going abroad and her first time taking a 13-hour flight. Being able to eat a hot meal in such a cold foreign country was undoubtedly a form of happiness and satisfaction.

Compared to Meng Chuyuan wolfing down the food, Lu Qingye’s manner of eating was very refined. Every action was carried out unhurriedly.

After Lu Qingye was full, he scooped a bowl of double-stewed soup for Meng Chuyuan and placed it on the table. He watched quietly as she nibbled on the braised pork trotters in her hand.

Sensing a pair of eyes staring at her, Meng Chuyuan raised her eyes and glanced at him. She asked curiously, “Why are you looking at me?”

She felt like a puppy gnawing on a bone while being stared at by its master. It was a strange and mysterious feeling.

Lu Qingye raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion, “Is it really that delicious?”

“It’s alright.” The cooking methods of these dishes were actually not very authentic. The taste was average, but she was really hungry. Everything tasted good.

Meng Chuyuan finished the braised pork trotter. She wiped her hands clean with a wet towel and drank the soup in the bowl.

“Wipe your face.” After she finished her bowl of soup, Lu Qingye handed her a tissue.

Meng Chuyuan took the tissue from him and wiped her face. She raised her head slightly and pointed her nose at Lu Qingye. She asked somewhat boastfully, “Is it clean now?”

‘ Lu Qingye did not answer. He silently took out a new tissue and raised his hand to wipe her face.

She maintained her previous posture and did not move. Her gaze quietly landed on Lu Qingye’s protruding Adam’s apple.

“It’s done.” Lu Qingye retracted his hand and placed the greasy tissue on the dining table.

After coming out of the restaurant, Lu Qingye took off his windbreaker and draped it over Meng Chuyuan’s shoulders. He was only wearing a white velvet coat.

Fortunately, their car was parked nearby and they didn’t have to suffer from the cold outside.

Inside the car, it was very quiet. There was no music playing in the car. Not long after Meng Chuyuan got into the car, she felt sleepy. Coincidentally, the dark atmosphere was really suitable for sleeping.

Meng Chuyuan did not sleep much on the plane. Now that she had calmed down, she yawned.

Seeing that she was a little sleepy, Lu Qingye said softly, “I’ll have to trouble you to stay in a hotel with me for the next few days.”

He often went on business trips and the location of the business trips was not fixed, so he did not have the habit of buying a house outside. He usually stayed in a nearby hotel.

Meng Chuyuan nodded in response. “Okay..”
