Chapter 551: Apocalypse: The True Daughter Turns to Ashes (22)

The assistant knew his boss, Dr. Lu’s, temperament was not only indifferent but also difficult.

He then chuckled sheepishly, "I came to make the exchange for him."

"Let us know what you need, as long as we can provide it, we can exchange it with you."

There were still plenty of supplies in their vehicle.

Luo Ning insisted, "No, if he wants to eat, he should come here himself."

The assistant was exasperated, this girl was really stubborn.

But there was no way, if she didn’t want to exchange, he couldn’t just rob her.

He had to reluctantly go back to the car and inform Lu Xun.

He was already prepared for the cold look from his own boss, knowing his personality, Dr. Lu would definitely not go over there himself just for some food.

Normally, Lu Xun would have ignored it, bearing the hunger rather than getting out of the car.

But today, for some reason, he actually got up and walked out.

The assistant was so surprised, was the boss angry enough to teach that pretty girl a lesson?

But according to Dr. Lu’s usual behavior, although he never treated girls tenderly, he would not go out of his way to teach them a lesson.

He quickly followed after him.

Lu Xun approached Luo Ning and said, "I would like to exchange some food with you, may I?"

Although his face was expressionless, his attitude was still polite.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Sure, why don’t you sit down and eat with us?"

Lu Xun raised an eyebrow, "What do you want to exchange for?"

Luo Ning looked at him with a smile in her eyes, "No need to exchange anything, your face is good enough to whet my appetite."

"So, by inviting you to eat with us, I might eat an extra bowl."

Everyone present: "..." It was the first time they had heard a girl say such a bold thing in public.

Lu Xun’s assistant was completely stunned and had to admire the girl’s courage.

With Dr. Lu’s temperament, he would most likely turn around and leave with a cold face.

Yet to his astonishment, the boss did indeed put on a cold face, but he actually sat down.

"Alright then, I won’t be shy!" Lu Xun kept his cool demeanour, but there was a faint hint of amusement in his eyes.

He didn’t know why, but hearing this woman say his face made her meal better gave him a strange sense of pleasure.

Lu Xun was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and later became a respected scientist cradled by countless people, so his temperament was not great and quite capricious.

If it were any other woman saying such a thing, he probably would have had her thrown out already, but now he broke his own rule, which he himself found quite incredible.

But capricious people naturally act on impulse, and so he just sat down.

Not only the assistant, but even Yu Wei was dumbfounded.

He and Lu Xun knew each other, they moved in the same circles, but due to differences in personality, they hadn’t interacted much.

But he knew Young Master Lu well, his temperament was notoriously poor, and he acted impulsively and unrestrained.

But what can you do when someone has such a powerful background and exceptional abilities? Usually, no one dared to provoke him.

He had just been worried for Luo Ning, thinking what to do if Lu Xun decided to have the girl thrown out.

Who would have guessed that the notoriously difficult master would not get angry, and even sat down.

Luo Ning personally ladled a bowl of rice to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun didn’t hesitate, he took over the rice and chopsticks, and after others started, he began eating gracefully and slowly.

Luo Ning actually watched him as she ate.

Her own Old Lu really got more and more handsome the more one looked at him, how could he be so good-looking?

Luo Ning looked at Lu Xun without a love-struck expression, her eyes clear yet carrying an indescribable emotion, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Lu Xun felt somewhat uneasy under her gaze, but for some reason, the pleasure in his heart deepened.

Seeing this, everyone else was at a loss for words, this woman was really watching Dr. Lu eat.

Shen Yan had a downcast expression; this was the first time he realized his sister was a sucker for good looks.

Feeling like his luminous cabbage might be ravaged by a pig, he couldn’t admit his own sourness, choosing instead to focus on grabbing more food and eating, using the meal to alleviate his feelings.

Then he discovered that the food his sister had cooked tasted even better, prompting him to eat more fiercely.

Fei Wenxi and the others had already thought that the food should taste good, but once they actually tasted it, there was only one feeling, so delicious they wanted to cry.

Thus, they joined the ranks of furiously grabbing food and gobbling it up.

Lu Xun’s movements were graceful, yet his speed at picking up food was not slow.

The people around them, seeing how eagerly they ate and influenced by the lingering fragrance that didn’t seem to dissipate, also wanted to cry.

They secretly sized up Lu Xun, cursing inwardly that having good looks was indeed a plus; even during the apocalypse, a handsome man could still eat for free, filling them with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

They only hated that they weren’t more attractive themselves, or they too could enjoy the benefits of their appearance.

Lu Xun, who was very perceptive, naturally noticed the envious and resentful glances around him, and the corners of his lips unconsciously lifted.

At this moment, the Luo Family was most uncomfortable.

Seeing Luo Ning prepare the food, totally ignoring their eager eyes, and only calling the team members to eat, didn’t sit well with them.

Now seeing that Luo Ning invited people to eat for free because Lu Xun was good-looking made them feel even more displeased and quite sour.

Third Luo had an even more displeased expression, "She really wasn’t worth raising for that year."

Others felt uncomfortable too. Outsiders might not know, but they knew how delicious Luo Ning’s cooking was.

Luo Baomiao wasn’t as sour as the others, after all, she was aware of Luo Ning’s dislike for her.

What bothered her was Lu Xun’s attitude toward Luo Ning.

Because she had a fiancé in the Capital City, she would visit there every month.

During these visits, she had seen Lu Xun twice, noticing that her fiancé and others in their circle treated Lu Xun almost reverently.

Yet Lu Xun was indifferent, regardless of how warmly they treated him. Those from rich families remained unabashed and kept approaching him even when faced with his coldness.

Curious, she inquired and learned that not only did Lu Xun come from a top-tier wealthy family with his grandfather and father both being generals, fitting the mold of the Crown Prince Party, but he was also the youngest and most renowned biological scientist globally. In his twenties, he had swept all international awards in the bioscience field and developed several effective drugs.

In the Capital City’s Crown Prince Party, Lu Xun represented a legend.

She too had tried to get close to him, but unfortunately, he paid her no attention.

This time, finding out that Lu Xun was in the same team gave her small ambitions.

She had long noticed the military’s importance placed on Lu Xun, including the current team, which was entirely centered around him.

Since that day she ran into her biological father and aunt by chance, who shamelessly clung to her, she noticed the Luo family’s attitude towards her growing increasingly distant.

Thus, securing someone as outstanding as Lu Xun, who far surpassed her fiancé of equal social standing to her mother’s family, would alleviate her fears regarding the Luo family’s attitude.

Being at the Kyoto Base, she knew many would envy her, and she relished enjoying the halo and treatment that came with it.

But before she could take action, the most annoying Luo Ning had already made a move.

She sneered inwardly; Luo Ning had a good eye, probably aware of Lu Xun’s not-so-simple identity, and had quickly moved closer to him.

Luo Baomiao clenched her fists; she was determined to expose Luo Ning’s shameless true nature in front of Lu Xun.

Seeing the Luo family’s displeasure, she came up with a plan.

Thus, she spoke up, "Perhaps Luo Ning is too embarrassed to invite you, mom and dad, to eat, especially since she left on her own before."

"If we take the initiative, now that we’re fleeing together, I believe Luo Ning shouldn’t be so petty. After all, we’re still a family, and familial bonds aren’t so easily broken."

These words made Father Luo, Mother Luo, and the Luo Brothers feel very reasonable; familial bonds weren’t so easily broken.

So, Father Luo gave Fifth Luo a look, "Go over and greet your sister."
