章節 24: Gift

In those memories, Li Chenmo saw Lu Jueyu having an intimate conversation with a tall man. She eats with him in a beautiful dress. When she looked at him, her eyes were full of emotion. She even gave him a birthday present! She never gives him any gift despite being engaged for two years.

He was curious about the man, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see his face. When those memories flooded into his mind, he almost couldn't hold back his urge to kill that man. No one knew how much self-control he needed to keep himself from going mad with jealousy.

Li Chenmo lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and asked, "Did my words burden you?"

Lu Jueyu looked at him and saw that he was in a bad mood. She chuckled, held his hand, and said, "Why do I feel burdened? I appreciate your feelings and there is nothing wrong with you. I also felt angry and uncomfortable when I saw Su Anna come to visit you last time. "

"I didn't," he said suddenly.

"Hm?"

"I didn't let her visit me. Father didn't let her in and I warned her," he added.

"What did you say to her?" she asked curiously.

"If she continues to harass me and my family, I will report her to the authorities."

Lu Jueyu was taken aback by his words. In this day and age, being reported to the authorities could end up with a prison sentence, or be paraded through the streets of their brigade. One must know that one brigade has ten production teams.

The later punishment was very humiliating. If she really paraded, she may not be able to get a good marriage or not be able to marry for the rest of her life, and even her future might be implicated. No one dares to hire someone with a criminal record. Therefore, his threat is very harsh.

But when she thought of Su Anna's rude words, she felt very refreshed after hearing his words. Indeed, the male lead is a loyal and devoted person to the one he loves.

"Alright, let's not talk about others. If we keep talking, the dinner will get cold." Lu Jueyu said with a smile, and put the food on the small table.

Li Chenmo looked at the food on the table and said, "It's almost New Year, and you still need to go to buy chicken and fish. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Is there still a need to be so polite between us?" Lu Jueyu asked with a smile. She didn't want to talk about this topic, lest she slip up and make him suspicious.

Li Chenmo stopped asking and drank the chicken soup. He took a sip and tasted the flavors of herbs such as ginseng, ginger, and red dates. The chicken broth has a layer of oil but is not greasy. Instead, it's very refreshing and warming. Generally, the chicken meat used for chicken soup will be tasteless and dry, but the one cooked by Lu Jueyu was soft and juicy.

After taking a few sips of the soup, he ate the rice and savored the aroma. He can eat several bowls of this kind of rice without side dishes. He didn't know how she cooked the rice, but the rice had a unique fragrance.

"Try the fish." Seeing that he only ate rice and soup, Lu Jueyu clipped some fish steak and placed it on his bowl.

Li Chenmo nodded and tried the fish. He was surprised by the taste. It was tasty and refreshing with a hint of tartness. It doesn't have any fishy smell at all.

Seeing him eating with gusto, Lu Jueyu couldn't help smiling. Whenever she sees people enjoying the food she makes, she feels satisfied and it brings her joy. She went to the kitchen to make him tea. While Li Chenmo ate, she filled the water tank with water from her space. Her brothers told her the waterway would be finished by at least tomorrow. After that, the Li family has had a new source of drinking water.

When she returned to the room, Li Chenmo had already finished his dinner. She handed him the tea and asked, "Is the food too much for you?"

He shook his head and said, "No, the portion is perfect."

Lu Jueyu nodded, and while clearing the table, she thought that his appetite was really big. He eats three times as much as she does. After clearing the table, she went out and came back with a bag of things. Li Chenmo looked at the bag curiously, and asked, "Jueyu, what did you bring?"

She sat on the Kang bed, handed him the bundle, and said, "This is for you. Open it and see if you like it."

Li Chenmo's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. He smiled and opened the bundle. He was stunned when he saw a sweater, scarf, hat, glove, sock, and stomach warmer. He caresses the sweater carefully. When he felt the smooth and soft texture, he knew that the wool must be expensive.

She gave him all this now, which means she must have prepared it long ago. He couldn't help smiling when he thought of how she picked the wool and made all of these while thinking of him. Those who say that she has an unclear relationship with Du Jiawen must be blind. It was obvious that she cared deeply about him. Next time they dare to talk nonsense again, he will settle accounts with them!

"Did you make it yourself?" He asked.

"En. I will make more for you in the coming days. The quilt is too thin and couldn't keep you warm so wear this for now." She said and took out the sweater from the bundle.

"Try it out and see if it suits you," she adds.

Li Chenmo was reluctant to wear the new sweater at first, but at her urging, he finally put it on.
