Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Leaving the auction house, it was almost ten o’clock at night when they arrived back at Lingyue Manor.

Even before entering the house, Lu Miao saw Gu Shiyan standing in the courtyard, gazing up at the night sky.

Lu Miao glanced up and saw a pitch-black sky, devoid of stars and the moon. The dark clouds concealed even the Seven Kills Formation.

She flicked her fingers, lightly tapping the night sky, and the dark clouds instantly dispersed.

The Seven Kills Formation, formed by red light lines, appeared before her eyes.

Since suffering losses twice at her hands, the other party had long refrained from attempting any formations.

However, Lu Miao didn’t think Gu Shiyan could see these formations.

“What are you looking at?”

Gu Shiyan glanced at the sudden appearance of the red light formation when Lu Miao returned and then turned his deep gaze toward her.

After a brief pause, he finally spoke, “It’s nothing. Have you had dinner?”

Only then did Lu Miao remember that she had gone directly to the auction house after school and hadn’t eaten anything until now.

She was about to say she wasn’t hungry when her stomach, in complete defiance, let out a loud growl.

A hint of amusement flickered in Gu Shiyan’s eyes. “How about some plain noodles?”

“You can cook?” Lu Miao was surprised.

After all, Gu Shiyan seemed like the kind of young master who had been attended to since childhood and wouldn’t even touch a drop of plain water.

She even suspected that he couldn’t tell the difference between vinegar and soy sauce.

“I learned some cooking.” Gu Shiyan turned and entered the password on the door, then they went inside together.

“Auntie Xiu took the day off today, so you’ll have to make do.” Lu Miao looked around. “And what about Jinxi?”

“He hasn’t come back yet.” Gu Shiyu frowned.

Why did he suddenly feel like a lonely empty-nester waiting for a child to come home?

“What’s wrong?” Lu Miao casually asked, noticing his ever-changing expression.

Gu Shiyu snapped back to his senses. It must be because he had been living with Gu Jinxi recently.

“It’s nothing. You go upstairs and change your clothes, I’ll prepare the noodles.”

After telling Lu Miao, he went straight to the kitchen.

Although Lu Miao was skeptical about Gu Shiyu’s cooking skills, his calm demeanor made her reluctantly trust him this time.

She went upstairs and changed into comfortable home clothes, then headed back downstairs.

Before reaching the dining room, she saw smoke seeping out from the kitchen door crack.

Lu Miao was startled and quickly approached, reaching out to open the kitchen door.

Inside the kitchen, the smoke had already filled the space, making it difficult to keep her eyes open.

Lu Miao waved her hand, and in the hazy environment, she could vaguely see a tall figure standing in front of the stove, coughing while stir-frying something in the pan.

She immediately approached and pulled Gu Shiyan away, groping to turn off the stove.

Just as she was about to lead him out, the smoke alarm on the ceiling went off, triggering the automatic fire suppression system. Water immediately sprayed down from the ceiling like a torrential downpour.

Gu Shiyan quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms, protecting her as they hurried out of the kitchen.

However, the smoke was too thick, and the alarms in the living room were also triggered. The entire house felt like it was pouring with rain.

Gu Shiyan could only protect Lu Miao as they ran toward the front door.

By the time they reached outside, they were both completely drenched, like two soaked chickens.o

Water dripped from their heads and bodies, incessantly falling down.

Although it wasn’t cold at this time of the year, when the night breeze blew, Lu Miao couldn’t help but shiver.

Gu Shiyan quickly walked to her side, shielding her from the blowing night wind.

As he looked at the person beside him, Gu Shiyan, who never flinched in the face of calamity, felt somewhat uneasy and averted his gaze.

Lu Miao raised her head and looked at Gu Shiyan, whose face was blackened by the smoke. “You said you knew how to cook?”

Gu Shiyan hesitated for a moment and said somewhat embarrassedly, “I did learn it online.”

Learned it online…

Lu Miao: Isn’t he a big boss who is too busy to bend down and pick up money? What’s he doing learning to cook on the internet?!

Indeed, she shouldn’t have trusted him so easily!

Gu Shiyan’s destructive power was unparalleled!o

“Thanks a lot. You managed to destroy my house with your first attempt at cooking.”

Gu Shiyan felt a rare sense of embarrassment. “I’ll get you another house.” Lu Miao was speechless. Was giving her another house the solution here?

The security team at Lingyue Manor also received the smoke warning, and a group of people rushed in with fire extinguishers.

Seeing this, Gu Shiyan quickly stepped forward and directly blocked Lu Miao behind him.

Lu Miao only then noticed that she had changed into thin home clothes earlier, and now that she had been soaked with water, they clung to her body.

The thought of standing in the courtyard with Gu Shiyan for so long made her ears inexplicably hot.

She silently shifted her feet behind him.

Listening to Gu Shiyan negotiating with the security personnel.

In reality, there was no fire. It was just that Gu Shiyan didn’t control the heat and oil temperature properly when frying eggs, resulting in excessive smoke.

After the security personnel checked the house and confirmed that there was no fire and it was safe, they left.

However, although the fire suppression system had stopped spraying water, the entire house, like the two of them, was thoroughly drenched. Everywhere was waterlogged, making it impossible to stay there for the night.

Fortunately, the clothes in the wardrobe were not soaked. They each went upstairs and changed into clean clothes, looking at the water-filled room with perplexed expressions.

Gu Shiyan coughed dryly. “It’s getting late. We might as well stay in a hotel for the night.”

Lu Miao sighed, realizing that there was no other choice for now.

Gu Shiyan went to the garage, started the car, and took Lu Miao to a nearby hotel.

After parking the car, they entered the hotel lobby together.

Gu Shiyan went to the front desk to find a staff member. “I need two rooms.”

After checking the availability, the staff member smiled and spoke, “I’m sorry, sir, we only have one room with a king-sized bed left.”

A king-sized bed!

A big bed!

Gu Shiyan:…

Lu Miao:…

Was this a case of every unlucky thing happening all at once? Gu Shiyan turned to look at her. “Let’s go, we’ll find another hotel.”

The considerate staff member reminded them, “Sir, at this time, the surrounding hotels are likely to be fully booked.”

This was the central area of the city, already bustling with people, and it was too late now. Finding one room was already considered lucky.

Lu Miao was exhausted both physically and mentally at this point, her head throbbing. In order to avoid sleeping on the streets, she resolutely turned around and followed the staff member upstairs.

Gu Shiyan could only follow from behind.

After the staff member led them to the room, they politely bowed.

“Wishing you a pleasant night!”

Lu Miao: What kind of pleasant night is this?!

The room door was closed by the staff member from the outside.

In the spacious room, only the two of them remained.

Although they were technically engaged, it was just a formality. This was the first time they found themselves alone together in one room..
