Listening to her explain the situation, Lu Tian’s heart ate more and more vinegar. The food that was cooked only for him had been shared with others and not only that, those people even got to eat it before he did.

As he thought this, his expression grew darker when he came to realize something. His assistant had been in such a rush to leave for lunch, it must be because of the food.

His wife said she brought some to Liu Shan, so knowing that the two assistants are closer now, there’s no doubt Liu Shan must have saved some for Xu Long.

Without turning his head to his wife, only his eyes glance to her. He doesn’t say a word but opens his mouth.

"..."

Yue Ling stares at the almighty man with a face full of bewilderment. Even without him saying anything, just his movement was enough to let her know what he wanted.

"Waaa...."

She lightly shakes her head and reach for his chopsticks. However, before she could even make a move, Lu Tian moves one foot and taps the table leg.

The chopsticks he had placed down quietly rolls off the table and falls onto the floor.

"..."

Yue Ling’s entire being was dumbstruck at this moment. Did he think she would not see his crystal-clear move?

Her head robotically turns to look at him. However, not letting her say anything, Lu Tian shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly. With eyes kept on her, he then gestures with his chin towards the chopsticks she had used.

Left with no other choice, she sighs inside and her mind could not help but wonder where Lu Tian’s cold and ruthlessness had gone.

She reach a hand for the chopsticks she had used and picks up a piece of sweet-sour pork. Turning to face the man, she puts on a smile.

"Here you go, your majesty."

Lu Tian takes a bite of the meat. However, when he heard what she called him, he almost choked on the piece of meat. He caught himself in time and quickly chew then swallow.

"I am not ’Your Majesty’. I am your ’Head Eunuch’."

"..."

Yue Ling’s eyes turned heavy like she was fighting her own sleep. The moment she came into contact with this man when he entered the room, she had long lost count of how many times she had been struck dumbfounded.

However, not wanting to continue the conversation, she picks up another piece of meat.

"Mm, mm. I, your Emperor will feel you, my Head Eunuch."

Lightly shaking her head, she decides to ignore his words and continue to feed him. She will just pretend he is a child who needs his mother to feel him.

As Yue Ling continued to feed Lu Tian, she was oblivious to the reason why. He had done this because she shared all the food she made with everyone else.

He is unsatisfied that others ate the delicious food before he did, so to make him feel better, she has to feed him with the chopsticks she used.

That way, only he can enjoy the blissful moment of eating from her hand and it is only him who can share an indirect kiss with her.

As he quickly grew happier with each bite, he soon finishes his lunch. Remembering what she had said, he grabs a napkin to wipe his mouth then turn to look at her.

"What about my cousin? Did you bring her any food?"

Yue Ling was now putting the containers back inside the bag. When she heard his questions, her movements paused for a quick second before she continues with what she was doing.

"I did, but..."

She answers truthfully but was unable to finish the rest. She wanted so badly to tell him about what happened, but a promise is a promise.

If Zhao Ya’Er doesn’t want her to tell anyone, then the woman must have her own reasons.

Hearing her response and reaction, Lu Tian was able to guess what must had happened. He looks away from her and the softness in his pupils turned murderous.

"It’s alright, I already know."

Yue Ling abruptly stops what she is doing and turns to look at Lu Tian. Her eyes widens a little before the space between her brows crease together.

"You knew? Did she tell you? Why haven’t you done anything?"

From what she remembers, Zhao Ya’Er said she hasn’t told anyone other than her (Yue Ling). So how does Lu Tian know? Not only that, if he knows, then why hasn’t he put an end to all the misery inflicted upon his cousin?

Unless, he is referring to something else.

Seeing the mixed feelings in her eyes, Lu Tian sighs inside. His wife is very smart, but sometimes she make him feel so untrustworthy.

"I only found out not too long ago. Was ’he’ the reason why your answer ended with ’but’?"

He calmly asks and she nod her head once. Since he really does know then there’s no reason to keep it from him.

She had given him a simple answer with a nod, but Lu Tian was quick to understand. He didn’t need to ask for further details as he can already presume what had happened when she dropped off the food to his cousin.

When he saw the bruise on his cousin, he wanted to end the man’s life for daring to lay a finger on his cousin. However, she never asked for his help, so he didn’t want to intervene. He could have, but he knows it was because of her (Zhao Ya’Er) pride as his cousin.

She must have thought that if she asked for his help, he would find her too weak to be a part of his family, but if she had said one word, he would not hesitate to do harm on the man.

However, that day when she came to Lu Corps, instead of asking for help, she asked him to help find another person.

So, waiting for the day when she will ask for his help, he decided to end the contract between Lu Corps and Industrial Group as a warning. As one should know that since the contract ended, Industrial Group has been going out of business. Only, it seems like Wei Hongyi is asking for more than just a warning.

"Tian, that bastard must pay for his wrong doings."

Unaware of his thoughts, Yue Ling spoke angrily. Her voice brought Lu Tian back to his senses and he reach a hand to hold hers.

"Don’t worry, I got this."

She looks him in the eyes and nod her head in understanding. She warned Wei Hongyi that his fate has been decided. However, since Lu Tian is Zhao Ya’Er’s cousin, he is the best person to decide the bastard man’s fate.

"Do you need my help?"

Her question caught Lu Tian by surprise, but only for a quick second. A faint chuckle escapes his lips and he gently squeeze her hand.

"I’ll take care of it myself."

He is happy that she wants to help, but he can handle this on his own. As many say, he is cold and ruthless for a reason. However, due to him being quiet as of late, many seem to forget who he is and what he can do.

Yue Ling doesn’t try to convince him to let her help. She knows that Lu Tian is a very capable man of many things and has been letting others off a little too easy. Maybe this time, he can put others in their place.

"Fine, you can deal with him, but you have to let me deal with Ning Mei."

Lu Tian’s thoughts are quick interrupted by her words. He frowns and stares at her without saying a word.

He knows that his wife is a very strong woman, but she is still recovering. How can he let her deal with a devious person like Ning Mei?

What if something goes wrong?

Like his thoughts were written on his face, Yue Ling heaves a sigh. This time, she gently squeeze his hand and her other hand pats her chest like a proud woman.

"Don’t worry. I got this."
