Chereads / Mr.Lin's Cinderella / Chapter 23 - Chapter 22. Quarrel

Chapter 23 - Chapter 22. Quarrel

Back at the Lin residence, fortunately, Lin Yuanxiang had not returned yet. Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head, and jogged towards her room. Suddenly, she collided with a solid wall.

"Ah..." Xiaolu rubbed her forehead and looked up, finding it was indeed Tianhao.

At this moment, he seemed as pleased as a cat catching a mouse, grinning at her.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you blocking my way, appearing like a ghost out of nowhere."

"Hey, you bumped into me, okay? My heart disease is about to act up." Tianhao playfully touched his chest, pretending to be in pain.

"You're really boring, Lin Tianhao. I'm your sister-in-law; can't you show some respect?"

"I do respect you, sister-in-law. I respected you enough to hear that you went to the hospital, so I went there specifically to pick you up. Unfortunately, I didn't see a trace of you at the hospital!" At this point, Tianhao surprisingly felt a bit angry.

"It's so funny. Did I ask you to pick me up? If you didn't see me, does that mean I didn't go to the hospital?" 

"You... I was just off work and happened to visit my brother. I wanted to pick you up. You could have ridden in my car back home, so you wouldn't have to take a taxi. Do you think my family's money is so easy to earn? You use it to call a taxi." Tianhao secretly scolded himself for such a ridiculous reason.

"Really funny. Ha, the mighty Lin's enterprise cares about the money for a taxi? Moreover, I walked back home, and I never asked your family for a penny of pocket money. Move aside." Xiaolu pushed away the man in front of her, entered her room, and locked the door from inside.

Tianhao shrugged helplessly; it seemed the 'loli' was angry. Actually, he didn't intend to provoke her. Women are so petty, hmph.

At around 9 pm, Xiaolu lay on her bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Damn it, her stomach was growling. She had only eaten two skewers of cuttlefish balls in the evening, and after arguing with Tianhao, she felt depleted. Now, if she didn't eat something, it seemed impossible to fall asleep.

Thinking of this, Xiaolu stealthily opened the door; it was quiet, and it seemed everyone should be in their respective rooms. She quietly slipped into the kitchen. Wow, what a big kitchen, with three double-door refrigerators.

Xiaolu opened them one by one, feeling dizzy. Inside the fridge were only seafood and vegetables, without any snacks.

Of course, Lin's family had no women, especially no young women, so it was strange. Where was Lin Yuanxiang's wife? Xiaolu shook her head, obviously not the time to consider this matter now. There was no woman, especially no young woman, so they wouldn't stock snacks.

Unlucky. However, there was fresh milk in the fridge. It seemed she could only drink milk to satisfy her hunger. Xiaolu took a box of fresh milk; She'd like to have some hot milk. However, if she heated it in the microwave, it would make noise. Oh well, she had to make do with it.

She inserted a straw and took a sip. Unexpectedly, the cold milk tasted quite good.

"It seems someone is hungray, isn't it?"

"Pfft..." Xiaolu sprayed the mouthful of milk onto the refrigerator door.

"Tianhao, you're too much. It's late at night, and you come here to scare people."

"Just a coincidence." Tianhao shrugged, turned off the kitchen light. Xiaolu rubbed her eyes hard; it was uncomfortable to see the light suddenly after being in the dark.

"Coincidence? Ha, what a coincidence, meeting you in the kitchen." Xiaolu sneered sarcastically. It seemed this guy was following her. Could it be that he discovered her identity?

"Yeah, we had a quarrel in the evening. I wasn't in the mood to eat. Now, I'm hungry. Let's go out for something to eat. I'll consider it as repaying you." Xiaolu looked at Tianhao strangely. "Why would you repay me?"

"To repay you for going to see my brother, for giving him a massage. Is that reason enough?"

"How do you know?" Tianhao smiled smugly. Of course, it was the nurse who told him when he went to the hospital. This silly woman, did she think he was clairvoyant?

"Just answer whether you want to go or not."

"Humph, why not? I want to bankrupt you with my appetite."

"Wow, such a big appetite. If you're going, quickly go back to your room and change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, Tianhao walked away without looking back.

"Demon, I'll eat you alive." Xiaolu muttered quietly, quickly ran back to her room, changed her clothes, and thought about what to eat when she went out.
