Chapter 54: A Gift

Lu Xiu had ordered her to leave. Although the peanuts made him feel refreshed and could work for another 24 hours, dealing with Cheng Xiao was not worth a second more.

Cheng Xiao did not have anything important to do at this time. She just wanted to make a presence.

When she saw the Lu family’s car arrive, she deliberately changed into a white nightgown.

Didn’t they say that men liked innocent girls? Could it be that Lu Xiu didn’t like this?

Cheng Xiao, who was originally full of confidence, was now greatly demoralized.

“Okay, Mr. Lu, you can rest first. I don’t have anything important. It’s just that my mother asked me to ask if you guys are lacking anything.”

“No, the room is very good. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“That’s good. Then… I’ll go down first. Good night, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Xiu nodded. Seeing that Cheng Xiao had left, he entered his own room.

Lu Qi was not used to sleeping in a different bed other than his own. He thought that it would not be so easy to fall asleep at night. But perhaps it was because he had eaten those peanuts, he only felt that his body was light after washing up and lying on the bed. Soon his consciousness blurred, and he fell asleep in a daze.

The night was dreamless. When he opened his eyes, there was already a faint light penetrating through the white muslin curtain into the room.

Opening the curtains and windows, Lu Qi felt a chill. The temperature had dropped by at least five or six degrees compared to yesterday.

It was really a cold day after a spring rain.

He subconsciously wanted to check the time with his watch, but only then did he remember that he had given the watch to Ding Shan yesterday.

After a good night’s sleep, he picked up his phone on the table and dealt with some urgent work matters.

By the time Lu Xiu woke up and knocked on his door, it was already half an hour later.

Lu Qi had already finished washing up and changed into a white shirt, black trousers, and a slightly thicker black woolen coat.

Lu Xiu was dressed the same as him. But wearing the same style of clothes, the styles they displayed were completely different.

Lu Qi was exquisite and delicate, and his clothes always gave off a cold and noble feeling. Coupled with his fair complexion, he looked like a valuable antique that could only be seen from afar but could not be touched. A touch might cause damage.

Compared to Lu Qi, Lu Xiu looked much more “porcelain” like.

The same clothes on him gave off a business aura. The word “elite” was enough to describe him.

The six of them walked down the stairs together. The Cheng family members were already waiting downstairs. No one knew how long they had been waiting.

Cheng Xiao’s eyes were immediately attracted by Lu Qi.

Lu Qi’s clothes today were somewhat different from the past. In the past, he used to wear a windbreaker for leisure. Today, he was wearing more formal clothes, which made him look even more eye-catching.

Moreover, he was not short, and he was two centimeters taller than Lu Xiu.

“Good Morning! Did you sleep well last night?” Xie Wan saw Lu Xiu and stood up to welcome him as if she had seen a god. Old Master Cheng also stood up and took two steps in the direction of Lu Xiu.

After a night of rest, the fake smile on Lu Xiu’s face began to “work” as normal again.

“Good morning, Mr. Cheng. Why is Miss Cheng here? Don’t you need to go to class?”

As she wanted to see Lu Xiu again in the morning, Cheng Xiao specifically asked the teacher for two periods of leave.

“Oh, I have something that needs Xiao Xiao’s help, so she has specifically asked for two periods of leave.”

Xie Wan helped to explain.

Lu Xiu nodded and didn’t ask further.

“We’ve disturbed you for the whole night. We should leave now.”

“Aren’t you going to stay for breakfast?”

“No thanks. We have an early meeting. It’ll be too late if we don’t go now.”

Lu Qi stood behind Lu Xiu and quietly listened to his nonsense.

“I see. Then we won’t keep you any longer. Mr. Lu, we’ll send you out.”

Thus, the Cheng family accompanied Lu Xiu and the others to the door.

“Mr. Lu, we also prepared a gift for you.”

Xie Wan said mysteriously.

Lu Xiu had a bad feeling.

Last time, the Cheng family gave them a gift, a car full of hoes.

What was it this time? Could it be a car full of shovels?

They saw a car slowly drive over and stop in front of them.

The trunk was opened.

Lu Xiu saw what was inside and his eyes widened. He turned around and looked at Lu Qi.

Oh My God.

A car full of peanuts.

Seeing Lu Xiu’s reaction, Xie Wan thought that she had sent the right one.

“Yesterday, when Cheng Xiao came down from the guest room, she heard that the two young master Lu were eating peanuts. Thus I specially went to buy the best peanuts overnight.”

At this moment, Lu Xiu’s fake smile mask was already broken and he couldn’t smile anymore.
