Wang Luyao definitely had thoughts about him, otherwise she wouldn’t have teased him under the table during dinner.
Although he also wanted to develop a few romantic interests here in Lianyun,
he wouldn’t rashly pursue Wang Luyao.
He needed to observe her character first.
he didn’t reply to Wang Luyao’s message.
A minute later, Wang Luyao retracted the message and said, "Sorry, sent it to the wrong person."
Xu Wendong saw this and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
He gathered his thoughts, entered a state of focused meditation, and started cultivation.
The night passed without incident.
It wasn’t until he heard footsteps in the living room the next morning that he ended his cultivation. By that time, it was already bright outside. He dressed and opened the door to find Chen Dong already dressed, changing his shoes in front of the shoe cabinet.
Even though it was Saturday, he still had to go tutor. For him, there were no rest days at all.
After a simple greeting, Xu Wendong went into the bathroom to freshen up. When he came out, he saw Zhang Manni. The girl, in a white nightgown, looked sleepy.
Zhang Manni greeted with a smile, and since she wore nothing under the nightgown, her ample figure wobbled as she walked, particularly those two points that caught the eye.
"I’m going to make some noodles, want some?" Xu Wendong looked towards the bathroom. Although the door was closed, he heard the sounds of running water...
Zhang Manni said, "No, I’ll head to the office later, I’ll just grab something on the way."
the master bedroom door opened and Wang Luyao emerged in a black nightgown, her long hair casually draped behind her and in front, adding to her mature allure.
Xu Wendong asked, "Sister Yao, want some noodles?"
Wang Luyao gave him an alluring look and said, "Where’s the logic in having a man cook? You rest, I’ll make you some noodles."
Saying so, she picked up an elastic band, gathered her hair into a simple ponytail, revealing her snow-white swan neck and a deep V-line cleavage.
After Zhang Manni stepped out of the bathroom, she went in to freshen up.
Meanwhile, Zhang Manni went back to her room to change, smiling as she greeted Xu Wendong, and then headed off to work.
The large house was left with only Xu Wendong and Wang Luyao.
After freshening up, Wang Luyao came out of the bathroom. Her fair face was flawless, impeccable, especially with a hint of smile in her captivating peach blossom eyes, "What type of noodles do you like?"
Xu Wendong: "Anything is fine, I’m not picky."
Wang Luyao hummed, walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and asked Xu Wendong, who was leaning against the kitchen doorframe, "How did you sleep last night?"
Xu Wendong: "Pretty well."
Wang Luyao skillfully filled a pot with water, placed it on the gas stove, lit the fire, and glanced at Xu Wendong, "Aren’t you curious about the message I retracted last night?"
Xu Wendong smiled, "Since it wasn’t meant for me, why should I care?"
Wang Luyao gave him a flirtatious sidelong glance, then started to get busy, her seductive figure swaying, making Xu Wendong’s breath grow heavier.
Seeing Wang Luyao take an eggplant out of the fridge to make eggplant stew, Xu Wendong cleared his throat awkwardly, "Sister Yao, I’m allergic to eggplants!"
Wang Luyao looked surprised, "Huh? You’re allergic to eggplants?"
Xu Wendong gave a shy smile, "Yes, eggplants, cucumbers, bitter melons, loofah, I’m allergic to these long vegetables."
Actually, he wasn’t allergic to eggplants and even liked them quite a lot, especially when he was a child and too poor to afford much else; eggplants substituted for meat for him.
The reason he said this was mainly because he remembered Wang Luyao’s skills with eggplants yesterday.
Upon hearing Xu Wendong’s words, a rosy blush flashed across Wang Luyao’s face: "Why don’t you like these long vegetables?"
Xu Wendong: "I don’t know, they just feel unclean, a little nauseating."
Wang Luyao murmured, "How could such adorable vegetables be nauseating?" Nonetheless, she took a few eggs out of the fridge and made an egg paste.
More than ten minutes later, two steaming bowls of egg paste noodles were served on the dining table. Xu Wendong and Wang Luyao sat facing each other, enjoying their breakfast.
While Xu Wendong was indulging in the delicacy, he suddenly felt a cool little foot placed on top of his beneath the table.
Xu Wendong was completely dumbfounded.
This woman was really bold, wasn’t she?
How could she seduce him again?
After a quick thought, he felt relieved.
Last night, she dared to act like that in front of her husband, let alone today when they were alone.
Looking up at Wang Luyao across the table, he saw her eating noodles with her head down, her face flushed, but she didn’t stop her foot’s action.
there was the sound of a door opening.
Wang Luyao instinctively withdrew her foot, looking a bit flustered.
Zhang Manni opened the door, smiled: "I forgot my phone." She picked up her phone from the shoe cabinet and left the house again.
"I’m done eating." Xu Wendong said, taking his bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen, washing them clean, and putting them in the cabinet.
Despite Wang Luyao’s persistent flirtations,
as a self-proclaimed playboy,
he had his principles.
Never make the first move.
Never take responsibility.
So, even though Wang Luyao tried to entice him, he wouldn’t make the first move.
Just after putting the dishes in the cabinet, his phone rang, displaying Geng Biao’s number.
This was the first time Geng Biao called him actively since he became a Geng Family Patron.
"Don’t you rich types ever sleep in?" Xu Wendong answered the call with a smile.
Geng Biao gave a wry smile, "Since I turned twelve, I’ve forgotten what sleeping in feels like. I’m like a workhorse, sleeping late and rising early."
"No wonder you’re the heir of the Geng Family," Xu Wendong replied, "Alright, enough small talk, what is it?"
Geng Biao said: "Mister Xu, you asked me to help you look into the Alchemy Furnace, and there’s been progress!"
Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, "Where?"
He had indeed asked Geng Biao to look into the Alchemy Furnace for him, since he already became a cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm and could definitely refine some elixirs.
On one hand, to enhance his own cultivation level, and on the other, to keep his woman ageless.
Geng Biao replied, "I received information that there’s a small auction tonight in Su Province, and they have a small Alchemy Furnace. But Su Province isn’t our Geng Family’s territory, so we can’t directly help you acquire the Alchemy Furnace there."
"Send me the exact address, I’ll head there today." Excitement filled Xu Wendong’s heart. If he could get that Alchemy Furnace, it would surely save him many detours on his cultivation path.
And he could grow quickly!
