After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 50: Was there an ulterior motive behind being so kind to her?

Okay, she'll endure it.

At least he was willing to lend her ten million when she was in her most difficult time. For that reason alone, she should consider his appetite.

I silenced my phone, put it in my pocket, and focused on eating.

Luo Jiuyu watched with satisfaction as she lowered her head to eat. She ate everything with exceptional relish, even a simple steamed bun tasted delicious, for reasons she didn't know.

Just watching her eat makes you feel hungry.

After she finished eating the fish soup and rice, she found that Luo Jiuyu had also finished her meal.

"You have such a good appetite today. You usually eat very little, don't you?" Hua Meimei asked him as she wiped her mouth.

He took out his own wet wipes and elegantly wiped the corners of his lips.

She glanced at the tissues she had carelessly tossed on the table and felt a little ashamed.

Luo Jiuyu possesses a noble and elegant temperament, which is hard to fathom. He was not favored at home and could not be considered a child who grew up in luxury.

But she did exude an elegant air about her, putting her several levels above her.

Considering my past life as an orphan and a sickly person, how could I possibly be elegant like him?

It's like a frog facing a swan.

She knew what she was doing.

As she left the restaurant, she smelled a rich aroma of milk tea wafting through the air of the mall.

It whetted her taste buds, making her eager to try it.

She looked around and followed the smell to find the milk tea shop.

It's a new flavor launched by the store: roasted brown sugar boba milk.

There were many people in line, and even deliverymen who came to pick up their takeout orders cut in line to get their goods.

It will probably take more than ten minutes to wait.

She glanced at the time; she was a little rushed before work. Going back would also take time.

"Want to drink?"

Behind her, Luo Jiuyu's gentle voice reached her ears.

Judging from his voice, she knew he was behind her on her right. She turned her head to look at him on her right and said, "I want a drink."

Just then, he leaned over and looked down at her, and her head was tilted slightly back, and the two of them made eye contact by chance.

Such a close distance creates an inexplicable ambiguity.

His eyes were deep and clear, like the starry night sky, romantic and mysterious.

Her heart skipped a beat.

He gazed intently at her. In that instant, his heart pounded like thunder, an indescribable surge of emotion welled up within him, and the surrounding noise gradually faded away.

The whole world seemed to consist only of her captivating eyes.

Like a pool of autumn water, clear and lively, with the stars and the sea hidden in the flow of her eyes.

Quite inappropriately, a ridiculous idea popped into Hua Meimei's mind.

She recalled the image of kissing him outside the Apollo Club.

At this moment, a feeling of déjà vu, as if an old dream had been rekindled, arose in my heart.

Her gaze moved from his eyes to his pale pink lips...

He followed her gaze to her lips, which resembled two meticulously crafted rose petals, possessing an innate alluring color.

Hua Meimei felt her cheeks burning slightly and hurriedly looked away. The surrounding air seemed to become even hotter.

Luo Jiuyu noticed her panic, and a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips. "Let's get in line."

Hua Meimei instinctively wanted to tell him to go first, but the words that came out were: "Okay."

As she watched Luo Jiuyu walk towards the milk tea shop to queue, a wave of emotion washed over her.

The procession moved slowly forward, with Luo Jiuyu standing tall and straight in the crowd. He occasionally glanced back at Hua Meimei, and when their eyes met, she would subtly look away, glancing at the people passing by.

A dozen minutes later, each of them had a cup of roasted brown sugar boba milk in their hands.

"Delicious!" Flower Berry exclaimed with satisfaction.

Drinking a hot cup of milk tea in winter is such a blissful experience.

Luo Jiuyu said, "You're quite easily satisfied sometimes."

"Don't you think it tastes good?"

His eyes brightened slightly. "Not bad."

This was the first time in his life he had ever drunk milk tea. He had never liked sweet things and always thought that milk tea was a drink that girls liked, and that men didn't need to drink it.

Once outside the mall, she didn't want to go to the parking lot with him.

He drove her here.

She said, "You can go by yourself. I'll take a taxi back." She then opened a ride-hailing app on her phone to hail a cab.

"I'll take a taxi." Luo Jiuyu took out his car keys from his pocket and waved them in front of her.

"What do you mean?" Berry was taken aback.

"You can drive the car, it's a gift." Luo Jiuyu put the car keys into her coat pocket.

"Why?" Hua Meimei asked, puzzled. Why was he suddenly so kind today?

He treated her to meals, helped her queue up to buy milk tea, and even lent her his car.

"I'm tired of driving it, I don't want it anymore." Luo Jiuyu raised an eyebrow slightly. "When you go out to discuss business, is it appropriate not to have a car?"

Not suitable.

Of course she knows.

Therefore, when she goes out to discuss business with others, she always dresses smartly and formally, and spends a little more money to take a luxury car there.

"Luo Jiuyu, you're not just an employee, are you?" Hua Meimei pouted as she sipped her milk tea. "The principal calls you President Luo, so which company are you the president of? Tell me, let's see if you're as powerful as President Hua."

President Luo, who commands such respect from the principal and others, is naturally more powerful than her, President Hua. She was just joking.

“A little bit better, I guess.” Luo Jiuyu’s lips curled up slightly. “At least I have a car. Unlike some people who ride motorcycles through wind and rain, be careful not to get arthritis.”

"Thank you so much..." Hua Meimei glared at him.

Luo Jiuyu smiled and turned to stride forward.

"The Luo family banquet is at seven o'clock tonight. Grandma wants you to come back with me for dinner."

His voice came clearly through the wind.

It turns out that his unusual kindness towards her today was a prelude to taking her home for a family dinner.

What a disappointment.

I thought he had changed his ways and I really wanted to be friends with him.

In the end, it turned out she was just being delusional.

Going back to the Luo family home for a family dinner with him—just thinking about that scene makes me anxious.

The Luo family has many members, and each of them is an extremely shrewd and calculating individual, so she tries to avoid them at all costs.

But right now, I'm beholden to those who have given me money, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

He drove his car back to work first.

His car is quite easy to drive. When she has more spare money later, she might consider buying the same one.

She doesn't know much about cars; as long as they're easy to drive, convenient, and good-looking, that's fine with her.

Since she didn't have time in the evenings, she compressed her evening work into the afternoons and completed it efficiently.

It's tiring, but as long as she gets through this task, Luo Jiuyu doesn't often bother her to deal with the Luo family.

The banquet hosted by the richest man is bound to be different from that of an ordinary family, so she needs to choose a suitable dress.

It shouldn't be too plain, nor too glamorous; just a touch of everyday formal wear is fine.

I get off work at six, rush back to Zhenlongtai to change into a dress, put on some makeup, and style my hair into a pretty bun. I then wear a delicate pearl necklace to decorate my bare neck.

She doesn't like wearing jewelry and has never bought any; the jewelry she owns was left behind by the original owner.

After finishing her makeup, Luo Jiuyu came home to pick her up.

The first time he saw her, a slight look of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

He was just taking her home for a meal, but she valued it more than he did.

If it weren't for his grandparents, he wouldn't have bothered making the trip back to the Luo family.

He was wearing the black suit he had worn when he left that morning. She thought he had come back to change, but it turned out he had just picked her up and left.

"You drive, I'll rest for a bit." He looked slightly tired as he sat in the passenger seat, leaning back to prepare for a nap.

He seemed to have rushed back from his busy schedule, and there was a sense of relief and exhaustion about him.

"Okay." Hua Meimei agreed, started the car, and drove to the address he provided using the navigation.

The Luo family's manor is located in the southern suburbs of Tiancheng.

it's dark.

The car drove towards the outskirts of the city, and night fell silently.

Winter nights often slip away unnoticed, turning into daytime.

The stars twinkled in the dark sky, and the cold wind howled past the car window.

The rapidly flashing shadows of buildings outside fell on Luo Jiuyu's sleeping face, the flickering light and shadow highlighting his calm demeanor and exuding a unique masculine charm.

Upon arriving at the manor gate, bodyguards opened the door for them.
