Revenge Sevenfold

Hui Yin stared at her empty chopsticks in disbelief.

Her sizzling, delicious pepper steak stir-fry just disappeared like that.

Just disappeared like that...

Disappeared like that...

Like that...

"Mmm. Delicious," said the culprit, who picked another pepper steak stir-fry after he swallowed the first one. "Why didn't you make more? I don't think these tiny dishes will be enough for me."

Hui Yin's left eye twitched as she watched Lu Shen gobble up her food with ease. She thought she was already shameless, but this man in front of her brought a whole new meaning to the word!

"Ahh!" Like a mother hen, Hui Yin quickly pulled the the two small bowls towards her and hugged them. "What are you doing?!"

Lu Shen looked at her protective posture, secretly amused. If one didn't know any better, they would have thought that what she was guarding was treasure.

He pulled up a chair and sat next to her.

"Eating my food. Didn't you cook it for me?"

"Who would cook for you?" Hui Yin snapped.

She already lost two of her pepper steak stir-fries!

"I cooked this for myself, and I'm hungry. You have dozens of maids. Let them cook for you."

Lu Shen leaned back on his chair. "But I'd rather eat the food you cooked."

Hui Yin nearly puked blood from anger.

"This is my own food!"

"You used my ingredients," Lu Shen pointed out casually.

"..."

Hui Yin had nothing to say to that. He was right.

She slammed her chopsticks on the table.

"Fine, I'll cook you something."

Thirty minutes later, two new bowls of gaifan and pepper steak stir-fries were placed in front of Lu Shen. Hui Yin wanted to subtract two pepper steak stir-fries from his portion because he 'stole' from her, but Lu Shen was watching her intently like a hawk.

She went back to her chair with a gloomy expression.

They ate their lunch silently, each immersed on their own thoughts. Lu Shen's phone rang just as they were about to finish, but he took one look at it and didn't answer.

"I heard you're signing a major business deal with Mr. Zhong?" asked Hui Yin, breaking the silence.

"Yes." After a small pause, he asked, "Why?"

Hui Yin continued eating her food.

"Nothing. I just think that he's a kind man. It would be good to have a business deal with him."

Lu Shen frowned, and slowly put down his chopsticks. "He already has a wife."

Hui Yin rolled her eyes. Did I ask you? Why are you telling me unnecessary information?

"I know, but they divorced," she said, not interested in continuing the conversation. She picked up her bowls and started washing them on the sink.

"Let the maids do that."

Lu Shen, who finished eating only a minute late after her, turned off the faucet and stopped her from rinsing the dishes. Hui Yin ignored him and turned on the faucet again. He behaved like such a dictator when he ordered her to cook, but now that she merely wanted to do some bit of dishwashing, he stopped her?

She shook her head.

Lu Shen's phone that he left on the table rang again. He sighed, and picked it up. By this time, Hui Yin had finished washing the dishes, so she was about to return to her room.

"You're coming here? Right now?" Lu Shen looked like he was in a bad mood. "There's no need."

Hui Yin, who heard that, abruptly stopped. The only people she knew that could possibly come to Lu Shen's villa was his parents, maybe some of his close male friends, and Nian Zhen...

Hui Yin didn't leave anymore, and stood still just beside Lu Shen. Without shame, she blatantly eavesdropped on their conversation. Lu Shen noticed her actions, but he didn't comment.

There was a brief flash of satisfaction in his eyes before it disappeared. Hui Yin didn't notice it.

"I'm not sick. Don't come," Lu Shen made his tone a bit stern as he glanced at the girl beside him.

Hui Yin, who already heard the feminine voice on the other side, knew that he was talking to Nian Zhen. She glanced up at him and made a gesture.

Lu Shen's forehead creased. Did he misread her?

Seeing that he wasn't taking any action, Hui Yin mouthed, "Let her come."

Lu Shen looked at the girl in front of him without a trace of jealousy in her expression and felt a bit displeased. His voice became cold as he snapped at the phone, "Fine, come here."

He hung up.

Hui Yin looked away as her lips curved into a wicked smile.

It was an expression that looked as if she wanted the world to plunge into chaos...
