Chapter 544: The great CEO feels regretful.

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The afternoon passed very quickly with her unpacking the items in the luggage.

Besides the boxes of briefs, the man’s other essentials did not give her any more surprises.

However, she was still rather startled.

As she steadily helped him to unpack, her suspicion that he was a Virgo grew stronger!

“Pei Ge, are you done unpacking?”

She had just finished arranging everything in the wardrobe and was staring absentmindedly at it when his voice sounded from the room’s entrance.

She turned and saw the man enter the room.

“Yes, I’m done.” She nodded lightly. Noting the man’s unperturbed look, she grumbled to herself, This annoying person really knows how to exploit someone! When I was still busy unpacking, this man couldn’t be found! Hmph!

“Head downstairs to eat, then.” He glanced briefly at her and spoke in a business-like tone.

Although his tone did not sound friendly, his words perked her up and her sour mood turned for the better.

“Yay!” She jumped out of her seat in an instant and happily ran to the door.

“Mind your image!” he chided softly.

“… Fine!” She pouted and grumbled in her heart again, This annoying person and my etiquette mentor are really alike! Could it be that he’s been taught by my etiquette teacher in the past, too?!

The man’s lips curled in the corner when he saw her walk next to him with her head down as her eyes darted around.

Whatever this silly woman thinks of is always spelled out on her face. How silly!

His words might be insulting, but his doting gaze on her said otherwise.

Alas, she did not see this, and he did not realize it, either.

They soon reached the living room via the wooden staircase.

“Meow!”

It was then that she spotted her cat.

“Pudding, come here!” She knelt and called out to the cat, which was grooming itself on the sofa.

The cat promptly leaped out of the sofa at her call and ran into her embrace like a giant furball.

“How obedient!” she exclaimed happily, hugging the cat.

“Meow!” The cat crooned as it rubbed its body against her palm.

“You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s go and eat!” She contentedly stroked its head.

“Meow!”

Seeing the way the two interacted, the man’s face turned sullen and he glared frostily at the cat in her embrace.

This fat cat is such an eyesore!

“Meow!” Seemingly feeling his murderous glare, the cat weakly cried and clung onto her tighter.

“So obedient!” When she saw it clung onto her tightly, she recalled her original Pudding clinging onto her so tightly as well. It appeared to be its way of saying goodbye to her every time she went to school.

Securing the cat in her arms, she walked into the dining room with great familiarity.

When she saw that the dining room was also set as how she remembered it, she blinked and turned to look at the man.

“Ziming, everything in this house is of the same décor as that time my family lived here; does that mean that the things inside the cupboards are the same as well?” She smiled at him; one could tell that she was in a good mood.

His forehead creased slightly. “Perhaps.”

She nodded at his reply.

“It’s mealtime. Why are you still hugging that fat cat?” A wave of displeasure filled his heart when he saw her not even look at the dishes on the table. Instead, all her attention was onto that cat in her embrace.

“I’ll eat later.” She smiled and walked into the kitchen next to the dining room.

He frowned at her leaving.

With a cold face, he followed her.

He found her in the kitchen opening a cabinet with much familiarity to retrieve… a bag of cat food?!

“Wa! Amazing! I truly didn’t expect for the order of the items inside the cabinet to be so accurate, too.” Surprise was written all over her face when she took the cat food out.

The corners of his mouth twitched at her actions.

He could not help but think to himself, Du Wen has really outdone himself this time. The only problem is that he also made this irksome cat appear as well.

Once she finished giving the cat food, she followed him back into the dining area.

This time, without the furry animal vying for her attention, she quickly noted that all her favorite dishes were on the table.

“Wow! Auntie Ji is really thoughtful! These are all my favorite dishes!” she exclaimed gratefully.

The man’s face turned sullen at her words.

This silly woman! This food-laden table was clearly prepared by him!

“What’s wrong, Ziming? Why do you look like that?” She was confused by the sudden grimness of his face.

“Nothing,” he replied forcefully.

This d*mn, silly woman! Why does she thank my mom for every good thing done?! These are clearly my doing!

Regret overcame him.

If not for his earlier lie, this woman would only be grateful to him!

D*mn it! He could, unfortunately, not take back what he had said…

She was, of course, unaware of the regret that the man was feeling as her attention now was fully onto the sumptuous lunch before her…

Oh! It’s so delicious! Maybe, this was made by the chef at Bauhinia Court! Truly delicious!
