Mei Shu smiled and pushed Lu Si out, saying, “Don’t worry, 1 don’t feel wronged at all. I willingly do these things for your grandfather.”

After saying that, she deliberately glanced towards the dining room and indeed saw Lu Ting listening intently.

Lu Si felt that Mei Shu was behaving unusually, considering her usual temperament; ordinarily, she would have retorted with sarcasm.

This was also why he prepared breakfast today according to Mei Shu’s taste, disregarding his grandfather’s preferences.

He wanted Mei Shu to integrate into their family, not to sacrifice her, but to let his family know that the girl he cherished wasn’t easy to deal with. He was entirely devoted to her, and his family had to accept that, whether they liked it or not!

But Mei Shu didn’t seem to be playing by the rules.

This made Lu Si somewhat anxious.

He feared that Mei Shu was tolerating.

“Shu’er,” Lu Si grabbed Mei Shu’s wrist again and said, “Come with me. I’ll take you out for some delicious food, or we can go back to my villa. I’ll have someone cook for you again.”

“No need, really,” Mei Shu said somewhat helplessly. She held Lu Si’s hand and playfully blinked at him.

Lu Si was stunned, and suddenly everything became clear to him.

So, his little girl wasn’t compromising but was holding back some wicked thoughts she couldn’t voice right now!

Since she knew what she was doing and wouldn’t be at a loss, Lu Si could relax.

As she wished, he left the kitchen and waited with Lu Ting in the dining room. Soon enough, Mei Shu and the servants brought in the freshly cooked porridge and a few side dishes.

The rich aroma of the food filled the dining room.

Even Lu Ting, who was accustomed to eating delicacies, couldn’t resist being tantalized by the aroma, eyeing the steaming rice porridge in front of him hungrily.

He wondered what seasonings Mei Shu had added to it; although it was cooked in the same pot, the taste was incomparable to porridge made by others.

Mei Shu picked up a small spoon and leisurely stirred the porridge in the earthenware pot.

With her movements, the fragrance of the porridge spread once again. Lu Ting, who wasn’t particularly hungry before, found his stomach rumbling in anticipation.

Mei Shu glanced at him but didn’t serve the porridge.

Lu Ting waited and waited, becoming increasingly anxious. Finally, unable to wait any longer, he snatched the spoon from Mei Shu’s hand and served himself a bowl, then eagerly began to eat.

Watching him wolf down his food, Mei Shu suppressed a smile, pushing the side dishes closer to him before sitting next to Lu Si to have her own breakfast.

Lu Ting ate voraciously until he was full, as if Mei Shu had added some addictive substance to the food.

After the meal, Mei Shu and Lu Si sat on the sofa and chatted with the old man.

Perhaps the satisfying meal had put him in a good mood, as Lu Ting was unusually gentle.

Mei Shu said, “This exam is of moderate difficulty. 1 think getting into the top three in the city shouldn’t be a problem, but Ah Yan’s ability is also impressive. It might be a bit difficult for me to compete for first place with him.”

Lu Si comforted her, “Don’t feel pressured. Just do your best.”

After hearing this, Lu Ting softened his tone, which was unlike him, “It’s just an exam, and it won’t have irreversible effects on your life. As for Ah Yan, he’s always been good, studies well, and is smart, but he insists on going abroad for further studies after graduation! He doesn’t listen to my advice at all! With such a stubborn temper, he’ll run into trouble in the future!”

“All Yan has his own ideas,” Mei Shu said calmly. “The future you planned for him may not be what he truly wants. One has to walk their own path.”

“You have a point,” Lu Ting instinctively agreed, then realized his tone was too gentle. He hardened his expression, “Young people never listen to advice! I’ve tasted more salt than you’ve walked roads. I’ve paved the way for you, but you insist on suffering! When you encounter real difficulties, you’ll know I was right!”

“You were like that when you were young, weren’t you, Mr. Lu?” Mei Shu smiled. “The Lu family is a business family, but you became a soldier. You must have faced a lot of pressure to enter the military and do what you wanted, right?”

At her words, Lu Ting’s face softened with a hint of nostalgia. “Yes, my father strongly opposed my joining the army. But 1 felt then that a real man should serve his country, not engage in the deceitful business world. However, in the end, 1 had to choose to leave the army and enter business, so as not to waste my father’s efforts.”

“But look at the Lu family now,” Lu Ting said proudly. “If I had persisted in my own way back then, not only would I have disappointed my parents, but even my descendants wouldn’t enjoy prosperity. So, listening to my father’s advice wasn’t wrong..”
