Su Yuan didn't come to his senses until Zhao Zhao had been out for a while. In a daze, he seemed to see Zhao Zhao carrying something like a thermos...
Oh no! Su Yuan was startled. Realizing what it was, he immediately strode out in pursuit.
Thanks to the extremely sharp hearing of the Azure Dragon Lord, he seemed to hear a "thud" coming from the trash can near the door just now.
It seemed that it had been thrown into the trash can.
The ancient dragon sovereign might never have rummaged through a trash can before. Looking at the trash can, Su Yuan hesitated a bit.
But then, thinking that it was the lunch that Zhao Zhao had made for him with her own hands, he didn't care about anything else. He rolled up his sleeves and started rummaging through the trash can.
Fortunately, the cleaner had emptied the trash can right after work, so there was nothing in it except the lunch box that Zhao Zhao had just thrown in.
Su Yuan carefully dug out the thermos from the trash can. Just as he was about to go into the office, an untimely voice came from behind him.
"Boss... Boss?" Assistant Bai He was strolling back to work after lunch. However, she was shocked when she reached the door of the boss's office.
She suspected that she must be hallucinating because of the recent overtime. Otherwise, how could she see their wise and valiant top leader of the Monster Management Bureau squatting on the ground... rummaging through the trash can?
However many times Assistant Bai He rubbed her eyes in disbelief, the scene was real.
Their boss was really rummaging through the trash can!
Was this a new rule of the Monster Management Bureau? Or was there some major secret hidden in the trash can that required the boss to investigate in person?
As a subordinate who firmly believed that her boss was absolutely reliable in everything except making the mistakes that all men made when it came to his little wife, Bai He thought that the boss must have his reasons for doing this.
She suddenly felt a sense of mission. She stepped forward and whispered to Su Yuan, "Boss, do you need me to document any major discoveries?"
Assistant's question made Su Yuan feel a bit awkward. But the aloof and noble one was still the aloof and noble one.
Even in the face of such an embarrassing and dramatic misunderstanding, Su Yuan didn't show the slightest discomfort. He still had his cold, expressionless face as he calmly replied, "Not for now."
Bai He was stunned for a moment, thinking that Su Yuan was doing some confidential work and it was not convenient to reveal it for the time being.
So, the very serious Assistant Bai He within the scope of her work nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand."
Su Yuan: "..." What do you understand?
If they continued talking, it would only get more dramatic. With his cold and abstinent face, Su Yuan took the thermos that Zhao Zhao had prepared and that he had just dug out of the trash can and went into the office.
Assistant Bai He, who had just entered the working state because of Su Yuan's "confidential work", caught a glimpse of the thermos in the boss's hand. Why did she remember seeing this box with Zhao Zhao this morning?
... Bai He understood. She understood it all.
It wasn't any secret mission at all. It was clearly that the boss had angered his wife and his wife had thrown away his love lunch box. He couldn't bear it and came to rummage through the trash can!
She really believed in the boss's deadpan and flawless acting skills...
Bai He was speechless. Bai He was angry. Bai He rolled her eyes speechlessly and angrily.
Damn lovebirds! She had been force-fed another mouthful of dog food for no reason. What was this all about?!
In short, from this incident today, Bai He concluded that the boss was no longer the ice-cold man who was not interested in women and had no emotions.
Bai He, who had been force-fed dog food, decided to get it back from the boss. She skillfully opened a certain forum.
A few minutes later, the sound of message notifications rang out one after another in the office hall of the Monster Management Bureau.
"Ding! There is a new message in the forum you subscribed to."
The floppy-eared rabbit quickly muted her phone. She was relieved to see that a group of people around her were also pretending to be calm as they picked up their phones.
She unlocked her phone and opened the forum. It was the post titled "A Few Things between My Cold Boss and His Soft and Cute Little Wife" that had been updated.
A moment later, a gasp sounded in the office hall.
At this moment, Su Yuan had no idea that his rummaging through the trash can had already been exposed and was known to everyone. He was now staring silently at a box of greenish paste.
He thought it was the lunch that Zhao Zhao had carefully prepared for him, but now it seemed more like she was trying to poison him.
The words that Zhao Zhao had said when she entered the office echoed in his mind again: "I brought you lunch."
Su Yuan suddenly felt that he was really a jerk for suspecting Zhao Zhao's intentions. Zhao Zhao was so gentle and kind. How could she have such a thought?
After he figured it out, he picked up the spoon and scooped up a big chunk from the middle of the paste and put it into his mouth.
The taste... was indescribable. Su Yuan frowned and forced himself to swallow it. Then, he picked up the spoon and took a second and third scoop... and ate the whole box of the unknown stuff.
Sometimes, God was fair. He gave her a cute and lovable personality and amazing cultivation talent, so she might be lacking in some aspects. After all, there was no such thing as perfection in this world, Su Yuan thought.
Fortunately, he was a dragon, a powerful ancient Azure Dragon. So, he didn't show any discomfort with Zhao Zhao's dark cuisine and could even slowly go and wash the thermos clean.
At this time, Zhao Zhao, who had returned, squatted beside the trash can deep in thought. Where was her mung bean porridge?!
She had been so angry before that she had thrown the lunch box and run away. After the emotion passed, she realized that her behavior seemed to be a waste of food. This was not good.
In the past on Wutong Mountain, her master had seriously taught her to take only as much food as she could eat and to cherish everything. She shouldn't have done this.
So, she had come back to look for her lunch box.
But she didn't expect that after rummaging through the trash can from top to bottom, she still couldn't find the thermos. Had it already been taken away and disposed of?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Zhao could only sadly blame herself and then walked away dejectedly.
Not far away, Bai He, who had witnessed the boss and Zhao Zhao respectively having an "intimate encounter" with the trash can at different times, deeply suspected that all the young lovers in the world were a bit silly and awkward.
Sure enough, anyone who got involved in love would become stupid, even the Azure Dragon.
Bai He walked up to the trash can with a mysterious look on her face and stopped. After a long time, she patted the lid of the trash can and thought that it was a lucky trash can.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhao's low mood didn't improve until she received a call from Lu Chukong.
"Hey, Zhao Zhao. Don't forget about the live food broadcast tonight!" Lu Chukong sounded very excited. After all, this was a way to make money. Who wouldn't be happy about making money?
Zhao Zhao patted her face to cheer herself up. Tonight was a big day. She couldn't be dejected. She had to cheer up!
Just like that, Zhao Zhao adjusted her state. And since Teacher Liu was on leave tonight and she didn't have to go to class, she was especially happy when she walked out of the Monster Management Bureau after work.
Su Yuan stood on the top floor looking at the bouncing figure. For some reason, his heart felt a bit blocked.
Was she so happy just because she received a call from Lu Chukong? So what exactly was she going to do? Was it still that secret that she couldn't tell him?
