Chapter 6 Heating up
This was Xia Lan's first time visiting Wen Shiyu's mansion. She only knew that Duanmu Cong's house was an outrageously luxurious mansion, but now that she saw Wen Shiyu's villa, it was even more extravagant.
"Would you like something to drink?" Lu He watched Xia Lan looking around excitedly, her curious expression quite adorable, like a kitten looking around in a strange place.
However, Lu He was very understanding. After all, when she first returned to the villa, she went crazy for a while before she was satisfied. If it weren't for the memories of Wen Shiyu given to her by the system, she probably wouldn't be very familiar with the villa.
This comic is probably created by the author to save time and draw fewer characters. The protagonist's villa is full of living people, including a butler, chef, and nanny, because they need to help with the plot.
When they arrived at the second female lead's house, they found it was filled with advanced artificial intelligence, since there was no need to follow the plot... well... for a moment, they couldn't tell whose family was richer.
"Juice?" Xia Lan thought for a moment before answering.
Lu He smiled indulgently and called out, "Justin!"
"Master, what are your orders?" It was as if the villa itself was responding.
Xia Lan was still surprised when Lu He explained, "My whole house is made of artificial intelligence."
"Do you have any juice at home?" Lu He continued to ask the smart home assistant.
"Some master, would you like orange juice, white peach juice, apple juice, or passion fruit juice? Hot or cold? How much sugar?" the intelligent electronic voice answered in a measured tone.
Lu He looked at Xia Lan, who quickly responded, "Ah, I want iced passion fruit juice, 70% sugar, thank you Justin!" She was very polite.
"You're welcome, it'll be here for you shortly!" the intelligent electronic voice replied, returning the courtesy.
Lu He watched as Xia Lan said thank you to the smart machine when ordering food, and a slight smile crept onto his lips. He couldn't help but think the child was a little silly.
"Where will I sleep tonight?" Xia Lan asked tentatively when Lu He hesitated to show her the room she would be staying in.
"Um, would you like to... stay in my room?" Lu He blurted out without thinking.
She was still thinking that if they could have a long talk all night, maybe she could poach the person to work at the Wen Group.
The first step is to keep Xia Lan away from Duanmu Cong.
Upon hearing Lu He's words, Xia Lan blushed instantly. She realized she had spoken out of turn, after all… that night, the two of them…
"I, I didn't mean it..." Lu He hurriedly tried to explain, "I just wanted to chat with you."
Xia Lan didn't speak, blushed and lowered her head, but nodded very slightly.
She actually agreed, agreed to share a room, which means she agreed to sleep in the same bed!
Wait a minute... Lu He's keen insight immediately made her realize that Xia Lan might have feelings for her that she herself wasn't even aware of.
Could it be... that she could try to seduce the female lead?
This was a golden opportunity, and Lu He decided to test Xia Lan that night.
If you can win over the female lead emotionally, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone, and completing both tasks beautifully and easily?
"By the way, Lanlan," Lu He decided to continue to charm, "you didn't eat well tonight, are you hungry now?"
"Hmm..." Xia Lan nodded shyly. She was indeed a little hungry, since she hadn't eaten much dinner because she was preoccupied with her thoughts.
"Then, shall I cook you some noodles?" Lu He said, walking to the kitchen door, taking off the apron from the door and tying it on.
"Huh? Xiaoyu, you, you personally..." Xia Lan was very surprised. Could the AI in the house not know how to cook? Or did the chef go home after get off work?
"Hahaha," Lu He seemed to see through her question: "I wanted to cook for you myself. Robots make these, so they don't have any warmth!" She gave Xia Lan a wink at the right moment.
Xia Lan suddenly felt her heart flutter. She herself didn't know why she was so shy and flustered.
Lu He knew that the female protagonists in these domineering CEO stories were all set up this way. Too many stories of forced love made these female protagonists follow the ironclad rule that they would fall in love with the other person after an accidental relationship.
She suddenly felt a little sorry for Xia Lan. Although she was set up as a female protagonist with unparalleled beauty, she was actually just a tool to showcase the personal charm of the domineering male protagonist.
She has no studies, career, or storyline of her own; everything revolves around the male lead.
Lu He recalled the original storyline: after Wen Shiyu drugged the female lead, he called another man to molest her, but the man who was called remembered the wrong room number and went to the wrong room.
Wen Shiyu notified Duanmu Cong to catch them in the act of adultery, but unexpectedly, Duanmu Cong ended up having sex with Xia Lan, who had been drugged with aphrodisiacs...
However, this time the one who had the relationship was Wen Shiyu himself, so according to the rules of this comic, Xia Lan should gradually fall in love with Wen Shiyu, who is now Lu He.
After a brainstorming session, Lu He became even more convinced of this idea.
Whether it was a twist of fate or destiny, this was an excellent opportunity. Besides, Xia Lan, the female lead, was truly pitiful and endearing. Even if he continued with her, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage...
Besides, they're just cartoon characters, not real people, so there's no need to feel guilty.
Lu He patted her cheeks as she thought about it, and came back to her senses. She looked at Xia Lan, who was already taking a shower in the bathroom. Just now, she had been urging Xia Lan to take a shower while she was lost in thought. Now that she thought about it, the little girl's face must have been steamed.
Lu He chuckled and then contentedly cooked noodles for the cute little girl in the kitchen.
After taking a shower, Xia Lan wrapped herself in a bath towel and cautiously peeked out from the bathroom door, immediately seeing the end of the corridor.
As Lu He hummed a cheerful tune while cooking noodles for her, everything suddenly felt so warm and cozy, as if countless little bubbles were rising in her heart. A beautiful smile unconsciously curved her lips.
The aroma wafting from over there wasn't just the smell of noodles, but a warm, comforting scent, like the comforting aroma of a safe harbor...
