She sat up, grabbing the bed sheet and staring at it in a daze.

Lian Xi suddenly remembered something, took out his cell phone, opened the address book, and found Lu Sili's number.

After staring at the screen for a long time, she gritted her teeth, and finally, she mustered up the courage to dial the number.

After ringing for a few seconds, a lazy and magnetic voice came from the other end.

"what happened?"

Lian Xi clenched his fists nervously, gritted his teeth, and said stiffly: "It's me, I want to ask you if you want to have dinner together tonight."

"Hmm?" The man seemed a little surprised, "Lian Xi?"

Lian Xi took a deep breath and forced a smile, "It's me, are you free tonight?"

"Of course." The man replied, "Why? You want to treat me to a meal?"

"Uh..." Lian Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "Well... I want to thank you."

The man chuckled, "Thank me for what?"

Lian Xi hesitated and replied: "Just...thank you for helping me so much during this period of time. In addition, you also taught me how to manage the company."

Hearing this, Lu Sili raised his eyebrows slightly, "These are what I should do, don't worry about it."

Lian Xi gritted his teeth, "I know, but..."

She paused, then mustered up the courage to say, "We've been married for nearly half a year, but I've achieved nothing. I'm really embarrassed to be taking your name for nothing."

"I know," the man said in a slow and gentle voice, with a hint of indulgence. "You've done very well. Don't underestimate yourself."

Lian Xi pursed her lips, "I feel a little ashamed when you praise me like this."

"No way," Lu Sili smiled faintly, "Lian Xi has always been an excellent girl, isn't she?"

Lian Xi was stunned for a moment and felt a little dizzy.

"...Well," she said hesitantly, "yes."

Lu Sili chuckled and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Lian Xi blinked, suddenly feeling flattered, "Whatever."

"Okay," Lu Sili nodded, "I'll pick you up that night and we'll go have Western food."

Lian Xi nodded, "Well, okay, I'll go pack my things first."

"Okay," the man chuckled, "I'm going to work now."

"Goodbye."

Lian Xi hung up the phone and lay on the bed, feeling very complicated.

In fact, she is not good at expressing her inner emotions, especially in front of the person she likes.

Lian Xi couldn't help but cover her chest. She didn't know why, but she actually felt like she really fell in love with Lu Sili. She even felt that the way Lu Sili spoke was very much to her liking.

She shook her head, drove away the ridiculous thought, and got up to go to the cloakroom to change clothes.

After getting dressed, Lian Xi went downstairs to the kitchen.

Mother Wang was standing next to the refrigerator, planning to take out some food for lunch.

Seeing Lian Xi coming downstairs, Wang Ma immediately raised her lips and revealed a kind smile, "Xiao Xi, are you awake? Go wash your face and brush your teeth. I have prepared breakfast for you..."

"Okay," Lian Xi nodded, turned and went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and came out.

She picked up the milk on the table and took a few sips, then sat on the sofa, eating fruit while waiting for lunch.

Not long after, Lu Sili arrived by car.

He walked into the room and saw Lian Xi reading a newspaper, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Lian Xi, have you had lunch?"

Lian Xi put the newspaper aside and turned to look at him, "Why are you here?"

Lu Sili took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, saying, "I'm afraid you'll miss me and won't be able to eat, so you'll be hungry."

Lian Xi curled his lips, "I won't do that!"

Lu Sili laughed and walked over to ruffle her short hair, "Okay, then you can continue to starve."

Lian Xi muttered, "Anyway, you're not here, and I'm not in the mood to eat."

Hearing this, Lu Sili's expression turned serious. He looked at her and said slowly, "I'll try to finish my work as soon as possible and come back to be with you on the weekend."

Lian Xi frowned, "Working overtime this Sunday too?"

"Yes." Lu Sili said, "We are going to negotiate an endorsement contract with another brand, so I need to make a plan in advance."

Lian Xi was a little worried, "Aren't you very tired?"

Lu Sili shook his head, "No."

Lian Xi said hesitantly: "But..."

"Don't say but." Lu Sili held her shoulders and soothed her gently, "I promise that I will take a certain amount of time every week to come back and have lunch with you. You should believe me, right?"

Hearing him say this, Lian Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally compromised, "Okay."

"Good boy." Lu Sili smiled with satisfaction and leaned over to kiss her forehead.

Lian Xi touched the place where he was kissed and murmured, "Let's eat."

Lu Sili let her go and led her to the dining room.

After lunch, Lian Xi flipped through the documents that Lu Sili brought back, carefully reading the clauses one by one.

Lu Sili sat aside, looking at her quietly, his gaze gradually changing from focused to somewhat dim.

At some point, Lian Xi raised her head and met his ink-black eyes.

When their eyes met, she was a little flustered. She lowered her eyelids to avoid their gaze and continued to study the information.

"Lian Xi." Lu Sili called her name.

"Ok?"

Lu Sili leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Do you know that I like looking into your eyes the most?"

Lian Xi's body trembled slightly. She pushed him away pretending to be calm and deliberately put on a stern face, "What are you doing? Stay away from me."

Lu Sili laughed and put his arm around her waist, bringing them closer together. "You obviously know what I mean."

Lian Xi's breathing was disordered. She tried to steady her heartbeat and snorted coldly, "How should I know what you mean?"

Lu Sili smiled and said, "I like your eyes."

Lian Xi's heart skipped a beat and his cheeks instantly turned red.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she turned her head away and said in feigned anger, "Lu Sili, could you please stop saying these weird things to me all the time? Aren't you ashamed?"

Lu Sili pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't like it, then I won't say it."

Lian Xi said angrily: "You still say that!"

"Okay." Lu Sili looked at her with a smile.

Lian Xi felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he had to change the subject: "By the way, I saw the news today saying that Lu Corporation has made several large investments recently. Is that true?"

Lu Sili nodded, "Yes, it is a project that my father is in charge of. This time it is mainly to create a business circle. After all, the development of the country will become more and more prosperous in the future."

Lian Xi was in a daze, "So that's how it is..."

She remembered what her parents had said about Lu's Group, which was involved in many fields, such as medicine, hotels, catering, jewelry, etc.

"The Lu family's investment this time should be huge, right?" she asked.

"Well," Lu Sili said, "the company has expanded rapidly in recent years, and there are many places where we need to spend money."

"Oh..." Lian Xi nodded, not quite understanding.

Lu Sili stared at her and suddenly asked, "Are you asking if you are planning to start a new project?"

Lian Xi blinked, a little surprised, "How did you know?"
