Zhaozhao stayed excited for the whole morning. Her heart and eyes were filled with anticipation for Su Yuan's reaction when he saw the mung bean porridge she had carefully made for him.
Zhaozhao hoped that Su Yuan would be very touched and come to hug her.
Finally, it was lunchtime. She couldn't wait to rush to the top floor with her thermos in her arms. She wanted to give the mung bean porridge to Su Yuan before he went to the cafeteria to have lunch.
If she was late and Su Yuan was already full from the cafeteria, he definitely wouldn't be able to eat what she had prepared. Zhaozhao thought quite "considerately".
Fortunately, she was lucky. Or perhaps, after drawing a clear line from Zhaozhao, Su Yuan hadn't set foot in the cafeteria for many years just like before. So when Zhaozhao knocked on the door of Su Yuan's office with her thermos, his usual cold voice came from inside.
Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment when she heard Su Yuan's voice. Just as she was about to push the door open, she suddenly realized something.
She put the lunch box on the ground, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, she took off her coat.
Underneath, she was wearing a very... well... sexy spaghetti strap top. The straps of the top didn't look very regular because Zhaozhao had cut it herself.
Last night, after searching for specific methods on how to make someone become dependent on her, she remembered the "sexy figure" mentioned in the video.
She didn't quite understand what a sexy figure was. Fortunately, there was a small line of words spoken by the people in the video below it. She filled in the search bar according to what she remembered seeing, and then a whole bunch of keywords popped up.
One of the advertisements on Taobao read like this - "Sexy and hot spaghetti strap top to outline your perfect figure."
Zhaozhao stared at that advertising slogan. Great, there was sexiness, and there was also figure. Combining it with the video tutorial, she rummaged through her things and started looking for that kind of spaghetti strap top.
But unfortunately, all the clothes Song Yao had prepared for her were of the cute little girl style. There was no sexy and hot spaghetti strap top.
There was nothing she could do. Zhaozhao had to find a piece of clothing of a similar color and modify it herself.
Thinking of the subsequent behavior and demeanor of the sister with the braids in the video, Zhaozhao patted her own face to cheer herself up. Then she picked up the thermos and entered Su Yuan's office with a mixture of three parts shyness, four parts coyness, five parts boldness, and one part uneasiness.
In the office, Su Yuan was sitting behind the desk without even raising his head. He seemed to be dealing with something and was quite busy. He just took a moment to ask, "What's the matter?"
That one part of uneasiness that Zhaozhao had now turned into seven or eight parts. She held the thermos and whispered, "Here, I brought you lunch."
Sizzle. Su Yuan's pen drew a line on the paper in front of him and even pierced through it, leaving a big gap.
Su Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed. He adjusted his expression and looked up. As soon as he did, he almost had a heart - attack.
What was this? What was this?!
Someone please tell him why the cute and well - behaved Zhaozhao was coming to work in such a ragged - looking clothes on a cold day?
Su Yuan didn't even realize that Zhaozhao's outfit was supposed to be "seductive". All he saw made him so angry that his liver ached.
Was this how the Song family took care of her? Song Yao kept saying that she would take good care of Zhaozhao, but this was the result? Letting her go out in such cold weather without enough clothes?
Look, the little girl's face was all red from the cold! She might even have a fever!
The angrier Su Yuan thought, the more heart - broken he felt. The dragon sat there with a gloomy look on his face, and anyone could tell from afar that he was suppressing his anger.
The atmosphere in the office was extremely strange, but neither of the two people involved noticed. Su Yuan was angry, and Zhaozhao was shy.
That's right, the redness on Zhaozhao's face had nothing to do with the cold. As a tree spirit, how could she feel cold in this kind of natural weather?
She was just shy because of what she had learned from the video. Although she couldn't fully understand it, her intuition made her feel a bit embarrassed.
The dragon and the tree spirit just stared at each other in this silent office for a long time. Finally, Su Yuan couldn't hold it in anymore. He walked up to Zhaozhao step by step and took off his own coat to put it on her.
"Cold?" Su Yuan asked these two words so gently. Zhaozhao's nose turned sour when she heard it, and she resisted the urge to cry and shook her head.
Don't cry, Zhaozhao! You're here to seduce Su Yuan today. You mustn't mess things up!
However, this touched look in Zhaozhao's eyes didn't look right to Su Yuan. Look, the cute and well - behaved Zhaozhao must have suffered a great deal of injustice to be holding back her tears like this.
Anger welled up in Su Yuan's chest. With a dark face, he went to find a blanket for Zhaozhao to wrap herself in, afraid that she would catch a cold.
He felt Zhaozhao's forehead. Now Su Yuan only regretted that he hadn't installed an air - conditioner in his office because he was a dragon.
Zhaozhao adjusted her emotions and looked up at Su Yuan, ready to say the lines she had learned. She thought this time it would definitely work. Su Yuan had been so gentle just from seeing her. The video hadn't lied to her.
If she worked a little harder, maybe Su Yuan would stop being angry and even be willing to date her. That would be perfect!
"Su Yuan, look at me..." Zhaozhao just grabbed Su Yuan's hand following the video tutorial, but before she could finish her sentence, Su Yuan interrupted her.
Su Yuan looked down and saw a small blister on Zhaozhao's hand. His breathing immediately became uneven. With a dark look in his eyes, he gently patted Zhaozhao's hand and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he picked up his phone and left the office, leaving Zhaozhao looking blank.
Wait? Wait for what? You can't wait!
She looked down at the small blister on her hand. She had deliberately controlled it not to heal on its own in order to attract Su Yuan's attention. She was going to let Su Yuan see it casually later! The internet said this was called the "stratagem of feigning injury".
Little did she know that this "stratagem of feigning injury" in Zhaozhao's mind had gone beyond just making Su Yuan feel heart - broken.
At this moment, Song Yao was in the Xuanmen, looking completely absent - minded.
She felt very guilty about her behavior this morning. She had been so eager to make Zhaozhao and Su Yuan break up that she had ignored Su Yuan's "life or death". Just as she was thinking about whether to call Su Yuan to remind him, her phone rang.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, Su Yuan."
Song Yao was a bit surprised. Besides the surprise, she also felt a bit guilty. Could it be that Zhaozhao's "attempted poisoning" had failed and been discovered instead?
Just as she was about to say something, Su Yuan's angry voice came from the other end of the phone again: "If the Song family can't take good care of Zhaozhao and doesn't care about her at all, then I suggest Miss Song go back and tell Mr. Song to let me raise Zhaozhao."
Song Yao: "???" What the hell?!
These words full of veiled threats and rudeness made Song Yao extremely angry. Especially when the other side actually proposed to take Zhaozhao away, Song Yao, with her fiery temper, couldn't bear it at all. She sneered into the phone, "Is the Yinglong lord trying to snatch someone?"
