But he soon heard Ye Jinwen deny it. “That’s not right. Lu Mian is staying in the apartment next door, but she’s borrowing a pair of chopsticks. That means that the apartment is not often inhabited, so it should not be the Lu Family’s assets. So there’s a high chance it’s…”

Xiao Qimo listened to him continue silently.

“Maybe Lu Mian is in a relationship! This apartment is the love nest that her boyfriend has bought! Wow, what kind of man can conquer a cool girl like Lu Mian?”

“But she only borrowed a pair of chopsticks, are they feeding each other?”

As Ye Jinwen’s imagination ran wild, Xiao Qimo’s face turned darker.

“I think you’re begging to be dragged back to Capital Jin!”

Xiao Qimo said somberly in his deep voice as he set the chopsticks down on his plate. The crisp sound of the chopstick made Ye Jinwen jump.

The table of MM Stall food before them no longer seemed appetizing.

That was the one thing Ye Jinwen was most afraid of hearing. He had escaped to Wu City and was unwilling to return to Capital Jin, so he began begging for mercy.

But he thought about it and decided to keep quiet.

After a few bites of rice, in the last corner of her lunchbox was a tiny hamburger.

She picked it up contentedly.

Everyone had their likes and obsessions. For Lu Mian, it was burgers.

They seemed unhealthy, but she liked it. Besides, she was skinny, so she did not have to worry about getting fat.

As for her obsession, it was earning money.

Even during her lunch time, she took her phone out to check on the stock market and to look for other ways to earn money.

A bunch of notifications appeared on her phone.

She looked through each one before deleting them.

A call labelled as “Lu Family” appeared on the screen suddenly.

It was from her mother, Fu Man.

She set her phone on silent and continued eating, not intending to take the call.
