Chapter 420: Chapter 420: This Man, Actually Started Role-Playing!

"Is it because if I asked to get Hexing Rice directly into supermarkets without going through the processes, would you owe someone a favor?" Lu Youxi asked.

"A small favor, it’s no big deal," Zhou Shuyan said nonchalantly, "Besides, Hexing Rice is really tasty."

"Then you just need to help me connect, and leave the rest of the talking to us," Lu Youxi said. "That way, we’ll be more confident in Hexing Rice."

"Okay," Zhou Shuyan obediently nodded and complied, "Your capability and the quality of Hexing Rice are definitely not a problem; if it really comes down to merit, Hexing Rice can definitely make it into big supermarkets."

"But if there are competitors using other tactics to compete, you must tell me," Zhou Shuyan thought to himself, and he would also keep an eye out to ensure Lu Youxi didn’t fail to notice and get outmaneuvered.

"Relying on connections, we never lose," Zhou Shuyan added.

Lu Youxi: "..."

That was quite bold.

But it was the truth.

Lu Youxi had never imagined that one day she could be so bold in doing business.

Without any delay, Zhou Shuyan returned home and immediately had Yu Zeqin handle it.

He also instructed Yu Zeqin not to let people trace it back to him, "Youxi hopes to keep a low profile."

Yu Zeqin: "Understood, the lady wants to be a dark horse."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

You really understand her.

Lu Youxi was very pleased that Zhou Shuyan remembered her preferences without needing to be reminded.

Fortunately, Lu Youxi did not hear Yu Zeqin’s response on the phone.

After hanging up, Zhou Shuyan turned to look at Lu Youxi and was met with her eyes curled into crescent moons.

"Why are you so happy?" It was Zhou Shuyan’s turn to be confused.

With a beaming smile, Lu Youxi walked into Zhou Shuyan’s arms, wrapping her hands around his neck, and looking up at Zhou Shuyan, "I didn’t even remind you, yet you remembered what I said, even specially telling Yu Zeqin not to let them know it’s you."

"I remember everything you say," Zhou Shuyan smiled, realizing it was this matter.

"You said you would use your connections to help my business, does this count as using an unwritten rule to climb the ladder?" Lu Youxi held his neck with one hand, the other resting on his shoulder, lifting a finger to lightly flick at the edge of his earlobe.

Lu Youxi didn’t have long nails; she always kept them trimmed short.

As her fingertip flicked his earlobe, alternating between her nail and the soft pad of her fingertip.

A tingling sensation shot from his earlobe to his scalp, down to his fingertips, spreading through his limbs.

Zhou Shuyan’s breath seemed to catch, strained and slow, yet trembling with deep inhales.

His hands, however, were firm and steady, gripping Lu Youxi’s waist.

Holding her waist, he easily lifted Lu Youxi up to his eye level.

"Unwritten rules? Not yet," Zhou Shuyan replied.

Lu Youxi swallowed nervously, unconsciously licking her dry and burning lips.

"Then when does it count?" Lu Youxi pondered and asked.

Zhou Shuyan’s lips curled into a smirk, but he said nothing and pressed her onto the bed.

Lu Youxi’s mind was afloat, initially still remembering that Zhou Shuyan had not yet answered her question.

But soon, she had no thoughts left to spare and could remember nothing.

Only when the stone mill produced the rice milk and a heavy stone plunged into a deep well, Zhou Shuyan suddenly said, "Now, it counts."

As his voice fell, a bead of sweat that had been teetering on his forehead suddenly dropped, landing on Lu Youxi’s forehead.

Lu Youxi gasped for air, her mind unclear on what she was thinking, then suddenly murmured, "I didn’t expect to climb up using unwritten rules one day."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Don’t mention it, when Lu Youxi put it that way, Zhou Shuyan suddenly felt like they were role-playing.

At that moment, he didn’t feel like Lu Youxi’s legitimate and respectable husband, but like he was surreptitiously pursuing Lu Youxi.

Zhou Shuyan took a deep breath, leaned into Lu Youxi’s ear, and said, "Little girl, if you want the business, you’ll have to let me take the lead."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Lu Youxi didn’t even have time to be speechless, her hands helplessly grasping his shoulders.

This man, he was actually playing role-playing!

Lu Youxi thought, maybe next time they should get a hotel room for a better immersive experience.

"Okay." Zhou Shuyan’s hoarse voice, somewhat suppressed, suddenly rang in her ear.

"???" Lu Youxi asked in confusion, "Okay what?"

"You said getting a hotel room next time would be more immersive," Zhou Shuyan said, "I think you make a lot of sense."

Zhou Shuyan narrowed his eyes, saying, "Once I’ve got everything lined up with the folks at the supermarket, I’ll take you to a hotel. If you want the business to go smoothly, you’ll really need to perform well at the hotel."

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

This man was getting addicted to acting!

No, she had just thought about it in her mind – how did this man know?

Was he a mind reader?

"No." Zhou Shuyan said again.

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

What’s going on.

Zhou Shuyan chuckled, his fingers brushing away the hair sticking to her face, and laughed softly, "I just realized, when your brain can’t keep up, you blurt out your thoughts aloud."

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

So when her mind went blank just now, she had unintentionally spoken her thoughts out loud?

"That’s right." Zhou Shuyan said again.

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

"You’ve had enough, huh!" Since she couldn’t help but blurt out her thoughts, Lu Youxi simply didn’t hold back anymore, and spoke up.

"Not enough," Zhou Shuyan said in a raspy voice. His sweat continuously dripped onto her body, drop by drop, more and more, "Definitely not enough."

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

This man’s "definitely" was definitely not about the same thing she was talking about.

He was definitely making a move.

"Mmm." Zhou Shuyan chuckled lightly, "Yes, making a move, and this move is particularly sweet."

Lu Youxi snorted, overwhelmed by what he said, her whole body turning red, she suddenly bit down on his shoulder.

Now she shouldn’t be able to blurt out her thoughts, right?

The next morning, when Lu Youxi was washing up and looking in the mirror, she noticed her face seemed to be softer and more moist, although she wasn’t sure if it was an illusion.

Looking at her face in the mirror, it almost seemed like the mirror had turned on a soft focus feature.

Even though Lu Youxi isn’t narcissistic or vain, she couldn’t help staring at the mirror for a good while, looking from left to right.

Coming out, she even asked Zhou Shuyan, "Did you change the mirror in the bathroom?"

"No," Zhou Shuyan asked puzzledly, "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing." Lu Youxi said strangely, "Just felt like when I looked in the mirror just now, my skin seemed really good."
