After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

After chatting for a while, Lu Shiyi took out her phone to check the time and habitually took the initiative to cook.

She stood up and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go cook."

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng, who was on the other side, shot him a cold glare.

The in-laws were standing to the side, each engrossed in their phones scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), neither of them thinking about cooking. What was the wife doing?

Did she think that by doing all that she did, she could determine whether her in-laws treated her sister well or not?

Fu Cheng then stood up as well, speaking in a husband's tone: "We need to distinguish between host and guest. If you go and do it, where will the host's face be?"

The old woman next to her looked up in surprise at Fu Cheng's cold and stern face. She felt a little scared. She had sensed this man's cold temper and unapproachable demeanor from the moment he entered the room.

She quickly put away her phone and stood up, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Yiyang meant well; he's just worried about us old folks."

Then she walked up to Lu Shiyi and said with a smile, "Shiyi, you are a guest, how can I let you cook? Please sit down, I will cook."

Li Haokai chimed in, "That's right, sis, you sit down and let's continue chatting. Let my mom do it."

Lu Shiyi looked at Fu Cheng across from her, then stopped insisting and sat down again.

Watching the scene unfold before her, Yao Yao secretly chuckled to herself, "Brother-in-law is so awesome! I've tried so many times before but it was no use, but he subdued my sister with just one sentence. I'm in awe!"

After an unknown amount of time, the food was prepared and served.

During the meal, Fu Cheng barely touched his chopsticks. The food was so different from what Lu Shiyi had made that he had no appetite.

After the meal, the two sat for a while before leaving.

In the car, Lu Shiyi turned his head to look at Fu Cheng in the driver's seat.

Around noon, her husband stopped her from cooking. She wasn't sure if he was worried about her or if he was disgusted that she was losing face.

I'd guess the latter. Even though there's not much affection between them, they're still husband and wife. When visiting someone's home, the wife has to cook for everyone, and the husband would definitely feel embarrassed.

Thinking that Fu Cheng had barely eaten anything at noon, Lu Shiyi asked, "Were you not eating much at noon because you were angry?"

Everyone has different emotional triggers, and besides, the two of them didn't know each other well, so she really didn't know her husband's temperament.

Fu Cheng stared intently ahead and said calmly, "I would never punish myself because of others. I don't eat it simply because it doesn't taste good."

"That's good. Actually, I take on some housework at Yao Yao's house because I want her in-laws to take better care of her. Yao Yao has always been innocent and gentle. As her older sister, I want to help her as much as possible so that she can suffer less in her husband's family."

Fu Cheng remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Just as Lu Shiyi thought the conversation between the two had ended and was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, the man's deep voice rang out.

"You overestimate human nature. Not all good deeds will be rewarded; on the contrary, they will be taken for granted by that family. Besides, Yao Yao is now married and has her own family. She has to walk her own path from now on."

Lu Shiyi understood this principle, but having been used to protecting her younger sister since childhood, she hadn't changed her mind yet.

She lowered her head in disappointment, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and her eyes lit up.

"You must be really hungry right now, how about we go straight to that restaurant we talked about last time, and you can have a proper meal?"

Fu Cheng was driving. Although he couldn't see the woman's expression, he could tell from her slightly excited voice that asking him to eat was just a pretense, and that she probably didn't want to eat it herself.

He was pleased to see that his restaurant was quite popular with her.

"Aren't you quite full? It wouldn't be right for me to eat while you watch."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi quickly waved her hand, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll just have some more with you, Mr. Fu, you don't need to...feel burdened......"

As she spoke, she inadvertently noticed that the man had a slight smile on his lips.

It was so rare; this was the first time they had seen her husband smile since they got married, even if it was just a faint smile.

"You look even better when you're not giving me that cold look," Lu Shiyi couldn't help but exclaim.

Upon hearing this, the smile on the man's lips vanished instantly.

Lu Shiyi was almost in doubt that he had just been seeing things.

Fu Cheng resumed his usual cold and aloof demeanor, "Eating is fine, but not in the restaurant."

"Not eating at the restaurant?" Lu Shiyi asked, puzzled. "What do you mean? Ordering takeout to eat at home?"

Fu Cheng gave a faint "hmm".

"That's a high-end restaurant, do they offer delivery service?" Lu Shiyi thought it was hopeless.

However, going to the Fu Yi Cheng restaurant would be a detour, and my husband must be very tired after driving for so long, so it's definitely better to eat at home.

"Never mind, let's ask first." Lu Shiyi glanced at the navigation on the screen in front of her. She would be home in half an hour. If she ordered takeout now, she could eat it just as she arrived.

So she took out her phone, found the restaurant manager's number that she had saved last time, and wanted to call and inquire first, and then place an order if there was any takeout available.

When the call connected, the manager on the other end immediately became extremely alert upon seeing the caller ID: "Ms. Lu (a very important customer)." This was a direct instruction from the former chairman, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.

The final result was predictable: whatever Ms. Lu needed, they were given the maximum possible satisfaction and discounts, including takeout; even if it wasn't available, it had to be provided.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyi sighed with emotion, "High-end restaurants are just different. The service is simply top-notch. That's how you do business. Good service and high quality, even if the costs are a bit higher, once a positive cycle is formed, it will only get better and better in the future."

After saying that, she turned to look at Fu Cheng beside her, "You agree, right?"

Fu Cheng didn't react much, so he just listened without offering any comment.

Half an hour later, when they arrived at Huafu Junyuan Community, the food delivery had already been delivered.

Fu Cheng went to park the car, and Lu Shiyi went to the security guard at the entrance to pick up the takeout.

Carrying a large bag full of beautifully packaged takeout, Lu Shiyi was overjoyed. "This manager is really great. I'll have to patronize his business more often in the future."

When Fu Cheng parked his car and arrived home, he saw a table full of dishes as soon as he entered. Every lunchbox was already opened and chopsticks were set out, ready for them to start eating.

He was somewhat surprised to see Lu Shiyi already sitting at the dining table, ready to go. Had this woman rushed back all the way?

He thought he'd be the first one home, but...

Fu Cheng changed into slippers, washed his hands, and then walked to the dining table.

"You can eat first from now on, you don't need to wait for me."

Lu Shiyi picked up her chopsticks and said, "I'm just here to keep you company. How can I eat first if you're not back?"

Fu Cheng didn't reply, but picked up his chopsticks as well; he was indeed a bit hungry.

During the meal, Lu Shiyi initially acted as a companion, being quite restrained. However, as things progressed and she gradually became more relaxed, she unconsciously began to take the lead in accompanying the meal.

From childhood to adulthood, whether she was in school, working, or running her current study center, Lu Shiyi always ate quickly to save time, and it gradually became a habit.

Even now, when she has plenty of time, she eats extremely quickly.

Seeing that the food containers were almost empty, Fu Cheng across from him raised his head with displeasure, his face regaining its usual coldness. "This is what you call accompanying someone for a meal???"

Lu Shiyi: “(′??w??`)…”
