Urban Supreme Evil Young Master

In contrast to Zhang Boyong and his son’s unparalleled fury, Lu Yu’s side was absolutely calm and incredibly pleasant.

At this moment, he and Leng Qing sat across from each other in the elegant courtyard of Tan’s Private Kitchen. In front of them, on a table made of golden-threaded nan wood, was a feast of dishes that looked beautifully harmonious in color and taste. The aroma wafting off them made one’s mouth water with just a sniff.

Seeing the dishes before him, Lu Yu smiled slightly and then said to Leng Qingqiu, ”Try it. Tan’s Private Kitchen recipes were passed down from the palace chefs a hundred years ago. The dishes here are quite exceptional and not easily tasted even if you have money.”

As he spoke, Lu Yu’s words were calm, emanating a sense of gentle amusement, along with an element of steadiness.

Upon hearing Lu Yu’s words, Leng Qingqiu lifted his gaze to look at Lu Yu. His heart was slightly moved, and a faint blush appeared on his pretty face.

You must know, from childhood to adulthood, Leng Qingqiu was having dinner alone with someone of the opposite sex in such a picturesque place for the first time. This experience truly gave her a unique feeling.

Extending her delicate jade-like hand, Leng Qingqiu picked up the ivory chopsticks in front of her, picked up a dish, put it in her mouth, and chewed a couple of times gently, appearing quite satisfied.

Even Leng Qingqiu had to admit that the taste of the dishes here was indeed very good.

Now Leng Qingqiu finally understood why Lu Yu wanted to stay for this meal. The taste of the dishes here was truly worth staying to try.

Moreover, this time it was Zhang Boyong paying the bill. A free meal shouldn’t go to waste.

Thinking of this, Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Yu, and a different kind of emotion filled her heart.

Earlier, Lu Yu’s way of handling the situation was truly flawless.

That method of formally addressing issues first and then attending to business really left no room for error, even someone as seasoned and savvy as Zhang Boyong had to leave frustrated when Lu Yu outmaneuvered him.

Such a tactic couldn’t even be pulled off by the most promising young talents in the Lin’an City business circle.

Not only that, while suppressing Zhang Boyong, Lu Yu also managed to cut off all avenues for Zhang Boyong and Victory Group’s cooperation in one smooth move. Such thoughtfulness was really meticulous!

It seemed like they were arguing on the surface, yet invisibly, all paths for Zhang Boyong’s cooperation were completely blocked.

Such a strategy is hard to match even for seasoned businessmen, yet after disappearing for five years, Lu Yu handled it all effortlessly. This truly took Leng Qingqiu by surprise.

Now, in such a situation, Leng Qingqiu instinctively wanted to learn more about Lu Yu.

This time, Leng Qingqiu wanted to delve deeper into understanding Lu Yu. There was curiosity, but more of an indescribable affection she herself couldn’t quite explain.

”The taste is nice, isn’t it?”

Seeing the look of satisfaction on Leng Qingqiu’s face, Lu Yu smiled slightly, his face adorned with a light smile.

”Mm.”

Upon hearing, Leng Qingqiu nodded, appearing exceptionally calm. She then spoke, looking at Lu Yu, ”Lu Yu, thank you. If not for you, today’s affair would have been difficult for me to handle.”

Just like Zhang Boyong’s shameless approach earlier, it really is tough to deal with. If it were up to Leng Qingqiu alone, it would have been extremely troublesome.

”No need to thank me.”

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu’s words, Lu Yu used his chopsticks to pick up a bite, speaking lightly, ”It was just a small gesture, nothing serious.”

In his words, Lu Yu’s tone remained calm, with a gentle smile on his face that conveyed a sense of reassurance.

Seeing Lu Yu’s smile, Leng Qingqiu’s face showed a hint of surprise.

For some reason, despite Lu Yu’s plain smile, Leng Qingqiu saw a touch of world-weariness in it.

This feeling of weariness, calm and steadfast, made one feel exceptionally secure.

Five years ago, Lu Yu was so flamboyant and reckless, yet now Lu Yu had become so composed and serene; no one knew how many challenges and hardships he must have gone through to transform from a wild youth to the calm demeanor displayed now.

Thinking of this, a thought struck Leng Qingqiu, and she instinctively picked up a piece of succulent beef and placed it in front of Lu Yu.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu serve him, Lu Yu’s expression froze slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Never did he expect that the cold and distant Leng Qingqiu, who would usually reject people without a second thought, would voluntarily make such a kind gesture to him.

Witnessing this scene, Leng Qingqiu also paused, and her pretty face instantly turned rosy.

Mind you, she had grown up never making such gestures before. Though this act was purely instinctive, it still brought a sense of embarrassment to Leng Qingqiu.

At this moment, with her face flushed like a pink peach, Leng Qingqiu appeared exceptionally alluring.

”I, I just...”

Leng Qingqiu spoke, trying to argue but finding no words to justify her actions.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu like this, Lu Yu smiled slightly, picked up the beef she had served him, put it in his mouth, and chewed it, then looked at Leng Qingqiu and, smilingly, said, ”The taste is great.”

In his words, Lu Yu spoke steadily, giving an unusual sense of ease as if flowing water, making one feel very comfortable.

This sense of comfort gradually eased Leng Qingqiu’s initial state of bewilderment.

Only through cruelty can one possess immense tenderness, and the present Lu Yu is evidently the best portrayal of this saying.

”Mm.”

Upon hearing, Leng Qingqiu nodded; though her words were plain, they carried a warmth instead of chilliness.

Unconsciously, the once cold as ice Leng Qingqiu had now become exceptionally warm-hearted.

Seeing the slightly shy Leng Qingqiu before him, Lu Yu smiled slightly, then placed a piece of meat in front of Leng Qingqiu, his actions appearing very natural.

Suddenly, Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu’s movements seemed very affectionate, as if they were a pair of polite and considerate young lovers, giving a sense of extreme warmth.

All at once, the gentle breeze, bright moon, lush surroundings, coupled with the faint sound of a zither, transformed the ambiance into one of endless tenderness.

Thus, Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu continued serving each other dishes, not saying much, but all the tenderness was expressed without words.
