Every detail on his face was perfectly reflected in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to give it to Lu Huaiyu for being such a gifted model. On top of his God-favored looks, his unique presence outshone everything around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had what it took to attract countless socialites and ladies from the capital to court after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu lifted his eyes and caught the girl sizing him up through the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, they locked eyes in the mirror, and he lifted his lips into a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do I look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was stunned for a moment before she nodded honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks good on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu turned around and leaned forward toward her a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they locked eyes face to face with the distance between them shortened in a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them breathed, Ning Li could feel the endless warmth from his body and even see a tiny reflection of herself in his deep eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of being squeezed in a tight space enveloped her again, and she could not help but hold her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, she was not just an innocent 17-year-old, and with Lu Huaiyu’s posture, the temptation was lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s lips then curled into a deep smile as she softly flicked her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have a good eye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know whether he was referring to her choice of the tie or something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened his body, hooked his finger on the tie, and pulled it off his collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then gave the tie to Wen Qi and said, “Put them together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will do, Second Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Qi told the receptionists to pack the selected items separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Master Lu, the total is 628,000 RMB.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a custom-made dress, a ready-made dress was a much lower price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, G&S’s price would never let someone ‘down’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ning Li was about to pay for it, Lu Huaiyu stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Wen Qi his card and stuffed Ning Li’s card back into her purse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li still insisted on paying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, this is mine. I should pay for it myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li wondered why Lu Huaiyu wanted to pay for her dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at her and then lowered his face to hers, where he teased her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I took a kid out shopping and if the kid had to pay with her pocket money, I’d become an after-meal joke if word got out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Qi watched from the side and had the urge to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started to wonder if Ms. Ning and Second Master Lu were really close, or was it all just a show?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li thought Lu Huaiyu’s words were quite reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it would not be appropriate to argue with him in front of strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… Thank you, Second Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, Ning Li sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already in his debt and now with the dress, she owed him even more. She ought to repay his favor if she had the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Huaiyu spoke next, his tone was even deeper, and the warmth of his breath burned as it brushed past her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep your pocket money for candies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu was really treating her like a little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at him. “I haven’t had a candy in years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu smiled and decided to play along. “Okay okay, I’ll buy you candies later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Huaiyu did not think there was anything wrong with what he said. He then looked at his watch and realized that it was already 11:00 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send everything to the Ye Family except for my tie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Qi smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li originally planned to return home after buying her dress, but judging from Lu Huaiyu’s order…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked into her eyes and said, “Let’s have lunch and I’ll send you home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li followed Lu Huaiyu along to a Japanese restaurant that was on the top floor of the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member-only establishment, the restaurant was decorated with elegant designs which gave it a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them got into the VIP room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu passed the menu to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can order whatever you fancy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the phone he had put on the table buzzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a glance at the message and it was from Cheng Xiyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’ve just finished my meeting. Are you still in HG with Little Ning Li?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Old Qin said you’re at his restaurant for lunch. Which room are you in? Send me the location and I’ll drop by.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu then replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You can come two hours later. It’s full and there’s no seat for you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just grabbed his car keys, Cheng Xiyue was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lu Huaiyu, you better not push it! You’re still using my member card!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yeah, but the land is mine.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xiyue was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that Cheng Xiyue slammed the door on his way out of the meeting room and it shocked all the workers in the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also said that Cheng Xiyue had called Old Master Cheng, proposing to buy out HG, but he got scolded by the old man instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It somehow became a little gossip among the workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk. It’s not even the birthday dinner yet and the grandchildren are already fighting for his wealth. The rich just want to get richer and richer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was clueless about the many things that had happened within that half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ordered a few dishes based on her preference and then passed the menu back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, I’ve ordered a few things. Take a look and see what else you’d like to add on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu raised a brow at her choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugu sashimi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not take raw stuff yet she ordered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard you worked in a cafe before,” he suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know how to make coffee?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...A little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu stared at her for a while, and Ning Li’s heart beat faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when she thought Lu Huaiyu would ask her about the coffee, what he said next defied her expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your favorite?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1483,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.475Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","28b28075d3fd5a9cc475166ef85d8bdbf3de9652691a3e63355b797510e0e637","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-35","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-33",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
