They had purposely chosen today to do this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.” Lu Huaiyu nodded softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is she worried about…me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked up. Her charming eyes were crystal clear and so bright that it felt as if they could leave a brand on his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ning Li swiftly moved away after only a brief glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does Second Brother think I’m… too impulsive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu straightened his body and stroked her soft hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. I’m just afraid that you might hurt your hands. Just let me handle situations like this in the future, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then walked to the garbage dump that was off to the side and threw the bag away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li walked closer to him and frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, I thought you were sick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled how hot his breath was when he had spoken so close to her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you having a fever?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhmm. I’ve taken some medicine,” Lu Huaiyu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder. Second Brother, have you eaten anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you like to have breakfast with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li followed Lu Huaiyu into the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Huaiyu tapped on the button to the highest floor, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “How did you get past the security?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing owned a unit in the place, so he naturally had access. However, Ning Li was not a resident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he asked his question, he turned to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li replied nonchalantly, “I told the security guard that I know you, so he let me in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? That’s all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu obviously did not believe that it had been that easy and smirked as he looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short pause, Ning Li added, “He said he wanted proof, like a picture with you or something, but I didn’t have any. So in the end, I showed him my Wechat and your voice message.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing the security guard the voice message would of course have worked, but she had not done it then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time, Lu Huaiyu communicated only through text messages, so she only had a few short voice messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu nodded with understanding. “I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! The elevator door slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu stepped out and headed to the door to key in the password.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li waited behind him. The door felt both familiar and strange at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door opened, Lu Huaiyu grabbed a pair of slippers for her from the front entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the pair of pink and white slippers which were clearly not his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was surprised. She clearly remembered that he lived alone, so why would he have a pair of female slippers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu had already gone inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What would you like to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li had actually taken her breakfast already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not that hungry. Why don’t you rest a while, and I’ll cook some porridge for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his fever, Lu Huaiyu’s head still hurt and his body felt sore and weak. His handsome face remained pale as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled. “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he pointed towards the kitchen. “The black refrigerator in the kitchen has all the things you will need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded and went to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s penthouse was around 300 square meters, so the kitchen was very spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two refrigerators had been installed inside the wall; one black, one silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened the black one and found a ton of ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of ingredients surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu lived alone and he never really cooked anything. Why was the refrigerator filled with ingredients?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around only to see him standing behind her, leaning against the door with his eyes focused on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, why are you still up? You should go and rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu smiled. “I don’t think I can sleep now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to look at her without budging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the man had insisted, Ning Li let him be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brought out the ingredients that she needed and proceeded to wash the rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, did you take your temperature?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“38 Celcius degrees. I’ll be better after a good sleep and some medication.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li felt that his body temperature was a little high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you are still feeling unwell, you should go to the hospital later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu grinned. “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li started a small fire to boil the rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly recalled what had happened earlier and her hands froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, did you… drink again last night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu nodded. “There was a cocktail party at LaTuie, so I had a few glasses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few glasses…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>LaTuie was a high-end winery, so all the wine they had there was the best of the best. Given the man’s low tolerance for alcohol, he had likely been drunk yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He might not remember my phone call yesterday either…’ Ning Li thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was too embarrassed to ask, but it was not something that she desperately needed to know either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu continued to stare at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl lowered her head slightly, as if pondering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long, white sleeves and black jeans went well with her ponytail. Her soft hair fell gently around her fair neck as she moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her innocent look caused his heart to skip a beat and for some reason, he felt relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ning Li had prepared everything, she washed her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The porridge should be done in half an hour’s time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhmm.” Lu Huaiyu sounded a little distracted as he answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then walked closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li heard his footsteps and turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu stood in front of her. He looped his hand around her waist and propped it against the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li could feel his strong chest pressed against her back. The sudden intimacy surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu passed her something with his other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a brow and said with a smile, “You want a picture with me, right? Let’s take one. I was serious when I said I would repay you with my ‘body’.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.757Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","55c74fc293dc091004ff622c85860a457111e3e6943f3e2d2021c62327fda49b","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-311","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-309",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
