The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 709 - 724: Can You Help Me Make Dinner?

In the bedroom, Zhong Li sat cross-legged on the sofa scrolling through Weibo. When she saw the image on the screen, she was momentarily stunned: "Xiao Xi, how can Lu Jinghan be so good to you? This man is just too romantic. All the photos of you and him are all over Weibo now."

Han Xi walked over and sat beside Zhong Li, glancing sideways at the phone screen filled with photos from last night’s screening in An City.

Below, there were many comments saying they didn’t expect the cold and abstinent president of Lu Group to spoil his wife like this, and they said Han Xi must have saved the galaxy in her last life to be so happy now. Anyway, all the comments were full of blessings and envy.

Zhong Li propped herself on Han Xi’s arm and spoke with a gentle smile: "Isn’t it especially touching?"

"Hmm," Han Xi nodded and leaned back against the sofa: "Sis, you know, what I fear most now is time passing too fast. I want always to be by his side, and I’m afraid I won’t meet him in the next life."

"Don’t worry, he loves you so much he’ll surely find you in the next life too, you sentimental silly girl."

Though Zhong Li said this, she knew Han Xi loved Lu Jinghan too much, which is why she was afraid.

Downstairs, people came one after another to pay New Year’s respects to Old Sir Lu, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere. Shen Qiong busily entertained the guests, while Song Mengmeng clung to Song Yan, insisting he accompany her to paint.

Lu Jinghan casually chatted with everyone, occasionally bringing the cigarette in his hand to his lips for a few puffs. Old Sir Lu was so happy he couldn’t stop smiling.

Once they finally saw off all the guests, Lu Jinghan went upstairs. When he opened the door and walked in, Han Xi was chatting with Zhong Li about something, both smiling.

"Did all the guests leave?" Han Xi asked upon seeing Lu Jinghan enter.

Lu Jinghan nodded: "Yes, they’ve all been sent off."

Zhong Li intelligently found an excuse to leave; these two could never get enough of each other, and she didn’t want to play the third wheel.

After the bedroom door closed, Lu Jinghan sat down next to Han Xi, lifting his hand to pull her close into his arms: "Once we finish the prenatal check-up tomorrow, let’s go out and have some fun."

"Sure, where shall we go?"

"How about to Doctor Ma’er?"

Han Xi nodded with a smile, thinking there wouldn’t be much to do after New Year, staying at home was indeed quite dull.

.......

After dinner, Zhong Li went home. When buying a house, she deliberately chose a location close to where Han Xi lived; it took only about ten minutes to drive home.

Zhong Li parked the car and had just gotten out when she saw Gu Nanxi carrying a bag walking toward her from a distance.

Gu Nanxi also saw Zhong Li, and only spoke when he came closer: "Back already."

Zhong Li nodded, her gaze falling on the bag in his hand: "Haven’t you had dinner?"

"I’m alone, so not too hungry, just went to the supermarket and bought something to eat. Let’s go up together."

Zhong Li tucked the wind-blown hair behind her ear, hesitating slightly before speaking: "Instant noodles really hurt your stomach; your gastric pain just got better."

Gu Nanxi’s gastric problem was due to frequent drinking at social events, coupled with often being alone and eating carelessly, causing occasional stomach aches now.

"Could you make dinner for me?"

Zhong Li turned to look at Gu Nanxi, wondering why he wasn’t home with his parents during the New Year. At least she had Han Xi, her sister, in An City, yet he was all alone, suddenly feeling a bit sorry for him, she impulsively agreed.
