"Pfft!" Zhong Luozheng spat everything out as soon as he took a bite, "Xia Xiaomin, why is it so spicy?"

He rummaged through the bowl and realized that there was a lot of chili sauce underneath! When he looked at her again, a crafty smile was plastered across his face.

This damned girl, how dare she play with him?

Zhong Luozhuang suddenly stood up and pulled Xia Xiaomin away.

"Xia Xiaomin, you did it on purpose." Zhong Luozhuang said affirmatively.

Xia Xiaomin sat across from him, and he grabbed her wrist to pull her up. She leaned against the edge of the table.

She looked up and saw the anger on his face. She knew she had angered him.

His face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Xia Xiaomin had a bad feeling about this. She was trying to pull the hair off the head of a tiger! If he really got angry, she and the people in the hotel wouldn't be enough for him.

Xia Xiaomin was hesitating on whether she should apologize or not. Zhong Luozheng teased her, "Xia Xiaomin, you're quite bold."

Xia Xiaomin was extremely regretful. Why would she do such a thing just for the sake of a moment of impulse? Lowering her head, Xia Xiaomin didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid she'd say something wrong.

Seeing that she was silent, Zhong Luozheng was even angrier. He pulled her away from the table and put his arm around Xia Xiaomin.

"Raise your head!" he ordered her domineeringly.

Xia Xiaomin did as she was told, looking up but unable to meet his eyes.

Zhong Luozheng was very satisfied with her performance. His anger gradually subsided. Raising her chin, he asked, "Why did you do this?"

Xia Xiaomin pouted. "If I said I accidentally let so many chilies go, would you believe me?"

With just a few words, he had shattered Zhong Luozhan's anger.

Accidentally? Xia Xiaomin, do you think you're lying to a three year old child? However, Zhong Luozheng enjoyed her attitude. He never intended to make things difficult for her in the first place, and now, he didn't want to scare her anymore.

"Look at me."

Only then did Xia Xiaomin meet his gaze, but her eyes were still somewhat unfocused.

Their gazes met, and the stubbornness in her eyes stung Zhong Luozhuang.

In her heart, she was simply unconvinced. But forget it, wasn't this the real Xia Xiaomin? Too obedient … it wasn't her.

Seeing his anger dissipate, Xia Xiaomin was puzzled. He actually let her go just like that? She thought that it wasn't just all sorts of insults and mockery, but nothing at all?

"You believe me?" Xia Xiaomin asked carefully.

"What do you think?" Zhong Luozheng asked, tightening his arms. Xia Xiaomin took a step forward, getting closer to Zhong Luozheng.

A faint smell of peppers mixed with mint wafted over his body. Xia Xiaomin couldn't help but raise her head to look at him, meeting his lowered gaze.

It was as if something was about to explode. Xia Xiaomin was flustered.

The cell phone rang in Zhong Luozheng's pocket. Xia Xiaomin quickly lowered her head and said, "You …" Your phone... "Knock."

Why are you stuttering? Xia Xiaomin, what's wrong with you?

Zhong Luozhan looked at her flustered appearance, and an evil smile flashed in his eyes. He let go of her phone, took a look at her cell number, and picked it up, saying, "Wait outside."

Xia Xiaomin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down as she watched him walk out the door. What was this? Was she bewitched by him? Xia Xiaomin, wake up!

"Take it and put it on!" Zhong Luozhuang handed her a bag.

"What is it?" Xia Xiaomin took it and gave it a look. It was a piece of clothing, but it wasn't hers. "This isn't mine."

"Are you stupid? Wearing the same clothes as yesterday, how much do you want others to know that you didn't come home last night? " Zhong Luozhan frowned as he looked at her. He didn't want to see the clothes she wore last night and had thrown them away long ago.

Xia Xiaomin thought so. Just as he was about to thank Zhong Luozhan for his care, he heard him say, "Quickly come down after you change your clothes and accompany me for breakfast."

"Noodle soup?" Xia Xiaomin asked doubtfully.

"Xia Xiaomin, you're courting death!" Zhong Luozhan glared at her, "You want to eat the dead? Go out and eat."

"Then why don't you go by yourself, I …" I've eaten. " Xia Xiaomin didn't want to go to breakfast with him, that strange feeling hadn't completely disappeared yet.

"If you don't want to go, I'll fire your master. I'll decide for myself." Zhong Luozhan walked over to the sofa and sat down.

'Alright, I knew Zhong Luozheng wouldn't let me off so easily! ' Xia Xiaomin stomped her way up the stairs.

Back in his room, Xia Xiaomin took out the clothes he had prepared for her, a light pink dress. It was very beautiful, and she really liked it. It had to be said that he had a good eye.

Did he also know Lin Xiyao well?

"Xia Xiaomin, did you die up there?" Zhong Luozheng's fierce voice came from downstairs.

You're dead! Xia Xiaomin cursed in her heart. She turned her head and saw his wardrobe. After thinking for a moment, she walked over to it and opened the door.

Wow, there are many expensive clothes, they are all very flat. Xia Xiaomin snorted, picked out a few sets, found some pants and socks from the drawer, and threw them in the trash can. Only then did she calm down.

Zhong Luozhan, since you have plenty of money, you can just buy more.

With that in mind, Xia Xiaomin picked the one that looked more expensive. "Hua", she threw it into the trash can, clapped her hands, and walked out of the room.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Luochen suddenly stood behind her.

"No …." Nothing much. Didn't you say we were going to eat breakfast? Let's go, let's have breakfast together. " Xia Xiaomin raised her head and looked up at Zhong Luochen.

She said we... She actually said that we …

Zhong Luozheng's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Xia Xiaomin, who was wearing the dress he had chosen for her. It was a faint pink one, making her face look even more tender. Her beautiful white neck made him want to have a taste.

Xiao Min took a step back unconsciously and looked at him warily.

Seeing her reaction, Zhong Luochen did not walk forward, but instead stopped on the spot. Looking at her, he lightly smiled. "Let's go."

Xia Xiaomin was baffled by his baffling smile. In the end, she came up with a conclusion.

Zhong Luozhang was abnormal today, so she had to be careful.

Zhong Luozheng parked the car. While unbuckling his seat belt, he said to Xia Xiaomin, "Here we are, get out of the car."

Xia Xiaomin opened the door and got out of the car. She was surprised to see that it was an old noodle shop.

She had thought that a powerful figure like Zhong Luozheng would be very particular about three meals a day, and would definitely not eat in such a small restaurant.

Zhong Luochen locked the car and walked in front of Xia Xiaomin to lead the way.

Xia Xiaomin covered her face with her hands, taking small steps to keep up. She was afraid that someone would see her having breakfast with Zhong Luozhuang.

After entering, Zhong Luozhuang found a seat near the window, but Xia Xiaomin pretended not to know him. She found a remote corner and sat down.

After all, eating breakfast with a handsome guy was too eye-catching. It wouldn't be good if he got a picture or something like that.

"Why are you sitting so far away?"

Zhong Luochen stood up in annoyance, walked to Xia Xiaomin's table, kicked the chair nearby and sat opposite her.

Xia Xiao Min covered her face and glanced at him. She snappily said, "I didn't ask you to sit over there. There are a lot of seats over there. Go over there."

"On what basis? Don't forget your status!" Zhong Luozheng snorted and turned his head to the side, but he didn't forget to peek at Xia Xiaomin from the corner of his eye.

Seeing her cover her face with her hands, looking as if she was afraid of being recognized, Zhong Luozheng couldn't help but smile.

The waiter came over and handed them the menu. "What kind of noodles would you like?"

Xia Xiaomin flipped through the menu and looked at the screen. Her appetite was greatly boosted.

"Tomato noodles."

"Tomato noodles."

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Xia Xiaomin pursed her lips, continuing to cover her face with her hands. Zhong Luozheng, on the other hand, had a trace of unfathomable emotion in his eyes.

Zhong Luozhan was a regular customer of this noodle store, so he only ordered this taste every time he came. He didn't expect Xia Xiaomin to have the same taste as him.

A few minutes later, their noodles arrived. Zhong Luozhan saw that she was still covering her face with her hands, curled his lips, and knocked on her plate with his chopsticks.

Through the gaps between her fingers, Xia Xiaomin saw the noodles on the table. The fragrance assaulted her nostrils, and she couldn't hold it in any longer. She grabbed her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

He had to admit that the taste was quite authentic. Zhong Luozheng's taste was not bad.

Zhong Luozhan, who was sitting beside him, withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to eat his noodles quietly.

Xia Xiaomin sneaked a glance at Zhong Luozhuang. She didn't expect him to be so elegant when eating noodles. He didn't gobble down his noodles like she did.

Suddenly, as if he had been spied on by someone, Zhong Luozheng's eyes met Xia Xiaomin's.

Xia Xiaomin was so scared that she almost choked. She pretended to be calm as she shifted her gaze. She finally understood why her grandfather had taught her not to look around during dinner.

After finishing breakfast, Zhong Luozheng paid the bill and walked straight to his beloved car.

Xia Xiaomin followed him out of the noodle shop, her eyes scanning the surroundings before finally stopping at the bus stop not far away.

She didn't want to go to work in Zhong Luozheng's car, or else it would be hard to explain herself if anyone saw her.

Taking advantage of Zhong Luozheng's lack of attention, Xia Xiaomin quickly made her way into the crowd and approached the bus stop.

Ten meters, eight meters, five meters left … When they were about to arrive at the bus stop, Xia Xiaomin smiled. "Oya, it seems like she's going to break free from the clutches of the devils."

Suddenly, a Maserati stopped in front of Xia Xiaomin, mercilessly interrupting her fantasy.

Zhong Luozhan rolled down the window from the inside and stared at her with a pair of black, angry eyes. He said in a low voice, "Get in."

Shit, I've been found.

Xia Xiaomin bit her lower lip, pretending not to know him, and continued on her way to the bus stop.

The crowd behind him started to gossip. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw them pointing at her, intentionally or not. Xia Xiaomin understood that she had become the female lead of a gossip story.

Xia Xiaomin pretended to be calm as she stood on the platform. However, when she met Zhong Luochen's gaze, she quickly lowered her head.

This man had already got out of the car. Was he here to drag her into the car?

Under the golden sunlight, Zhong Luozheng walked over confidently with his hands in his pockets.

A very literary phrase immediately popped into Xia Xiaomin's mind:
