Li Pu really didn't want to see this sadistic, incomparably powerful vehicle; he had just been run over by Chun-Li...
Marika had already unceremoniously taken the seat of honor closest to him, her haughty and cold phoenix eyes fixed directly on him:
"When are you coming home with me?"
Chapter 125 My life has been like walking on thin ice...
"When are you coming home with me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Pu immediately pouted.
If you follow this huge block of ice, you'll either freeze to death or get crushed!
What's more, this is someone who advocates a "battle royale" style of elite education.
Like raising poisonous insects, they let their offspring kill each other, and only the one who survives in the end is considered the "qualified heir".
Who knows if she'll adopt a bunch of kids again, stuff them all in there, and then announce the start of a battle royale game...
I'm not sick, why would I give up a perfectly comfortable life to go back and "play PUBG" with you?
Fortunately, the Marika in front of us is still the entrepreneurial village girl from the early stages, and has not yet turned evil.
She did not fulfill the Golden Law; she did not marry and had no children.
As for the doppelganger who will become a puppet and lackey of the Golden Law in the future? It doesn't even have the soil to be born yet.
In short, she still has humanity.
Seeing that the little black cat ignored him, the "sexually apathetic" big car didn't ask any more questions.
She turned her head, and with just a casual glance, the maid standing beside her was so frightened that she immediately bowed deeply and hurriedly retreated.
Before long, a maid pushed a fancy food cart into the office.
"Looks like you haven't eaten since you got back."
As she spoke, Marika extended her hand.
Slender, delicate fingers, contrasting with her massive frame, gently stroked the boy's cheek, carefully brushing away the dust he had picked up while cleaning.
The maids standing nearby witnessed this scene and were instantly stunned!
This……
Is this really the Lady Marika they know?
Is it really that ruthless, decisive, and feared second-tier powerhouse known as the "Golden Queen" in the Second Association, Marika?
What made it even more unbelievable to them was that the adorable cat-eared boy, who was being treated so carefully by Lady Marika, kept baring his teeth and breathing on her, and even almost biting her finger that was wiping the dust off him several times!
The Hajeep, still panting, seemed unimpressed and continued to bare its teeth like a kitten.
He observed the reactions of the maids.
I bet their next words will be, "It's been a long time since we've seen Lady Marika show such concern for a child."
"It's been a long time since I've seen Lady Marika so happy."
"It's been a long time..."
Damn it, you're crazy!
I'm not here to act out a domineering CEO romance drama with you!
Blow!
You have to breathe on it really hard!
Marika continues to ignore her "rebellious son's" resistance.
She simply focused on wiping the last bit of dust off his face, then subtly raised her chin.
Two steaming plates of grilled ribs were quickly taken from the food cart and placed on the table.
The aroma of meat instantly filled the air.
The meat was roasted to perfection, with an enticing caramel color on the surface, and the juices were slightly seeping out, releasing a rich aroma of black pepper—Marika had carefully selected the dishes before coming.
Little boys generally love to eat meat.
Based on the firm's deficit revenue shown in the data, it's questionable whether Emma can even provide three meals a day.
This little rascal is very clever; he naturally understands which mother he should follow to get the meat to eat.
Of course, milk is also acceptable.
Just a moment ago, Li Pu was baring his teeth like a kitten, but his nose twitched almost imperceptibly, and the wariness and ferocity in his eyes receded like the tide...
She stopped breathing in air, and her little face wasn't fierce anymore...
Previously, he ate dry bread with salty canned meat for every meal. Now, whenever he encountered something delicious, his cravings were instantly aroused.
For the sake of this delicious meal, I'll reluctantly give her a pinch on the cheek!
Now, we need to eat the sugar coating off her sweet words and spit the bullet back at her!
It smells so good! ! !
Marika, exuding a queenly aura, glanced furtively across the table.
The hardworking but clumsy little black cat is struggling with the meat patty on the plate.
The metal knife and fork seemed a bit clumsy in his slightly awkward little hands, occasionally scraping against the porcelain plate and making a soft, crackling sound as he cut. He frowned slightly, his lips unconsciously pursing gently, completely focused on the piece of meat. His earnest yet slightly strained little appearance revealed a unique kind of childlike cuteness.
He's still just a child; a good meal makes him happy.
If I had such a little thing by my side, I wouldn't be too bored anymore.
A faint smile gradually appeared on Marika's cold and aloof lips.
The cat-eared boy opposite her seemed to notice her gaze and suddenly looked up.
She immediately looked away, lazily raised her wine glass, and took a small sip. A clear red lipstick mark remained on the rim of the glass.
Li Pu glanced at her suspiciously, then buried his head in his work with the stubborn piece of pork chop.
It was half-cooked, and I don't even know what kind of meat it was. It was so hard to cut!
Marika coughed lightly twice, since this "rebellious son" had eaten the food she had brought.
There's an old saying in Dongzhou: "He who takes a man's money is bound to him; he who eats another man's food is bound to him."
She felt it was time to get down to business, so she recited her carefully crafted opening remarks:
"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice..."
Clang!
She was abruptly interrupted before she could finish speaking! Marika's eyes widened in surprise.
On the opposite table, the boy seemed to be struggling with that stubborn piece of meat to the extreme. With a sudden burst of strength, he accidentally pushed the entire porcelain plate containing the meat and sauce off the edge of the table!
Li Pu looked down at the mess on the floor, then looked up at the opposite side—
The sliced steak on Marika's plate was still steaming hot.
After a "deep gaze," Li Pu's little brain started working:
I don't care!
I'd better get rid of you as soon as possible!
I'll keep the sugar coating, but you get the cannonballs back!
He quickly squatted down, picked up the piece of meat that was a little dusty, put it on the dirty plate, and carried it back to his table.
Then he glanced at Marika again.
Marika couldn't figure out what the rebellious little black cat was up to either.
Then, to the astonishment of the surrounding maids, he calmly and naturally placed his plate of "floor-dedicated" grilled steak in front of Marika with a "thud," swapping it for hers.
He even "thoughtfully" picked up the salt shaker on the table and generously added some seasoning to the "new" steak in this drab truck!
"..."
After doing all that, he sat back down as if nothing had happened, picked up his knife and fork, and started wrestling with the new steak!
but--
Bang! ! !
Another familiar crisp sound!
The delicious, perfectly preserved steak that the cat-eared boy had just traded for from Marika... was accidentally cut and dropped onto the ground in the same way...
The maids were so shocked they couldn't speak; their minds went completely blank!
This kid! He's a real troublemaker!!!
How dare he!
That's Lady Marika!!!
How dare he! Twice in a row!! Treat Lady Marika like this!!! ???
The maids, who had already foreseen the boy's tragic end, couldn't bear to watch him being dragged away by the members of the Second Association.
But to everyone's surprise, the Ice Queen Marika showed no signs of anger; in fact, the coldness on her face strangely faded.
She calmly moved the silver fork she had been holding for a while forward slightly—on the tip of the fork, a small piece of tender roasted meat that had "escaped disaster" and was perfectly cut, even wrapped in warm meat juice, hovered precisely at the corner of the cat-eared boy's tightly pursed lips, which still held a hint of dissatisfaction.
The air was dead.
All the maids choked on their breath.
Li Pu subconsciously tried to turn his head away to avoid the fork that was so close, but those gentle golden phoenix eyes just kept watching him silently.
The resistance endured a brief but agonizing few seconds in the silent standoff.
Finally, her tightly pursed lips reluctantly parted slightly.
Marika pushed her wrist forward with remarkable stability.
A small, warm piece of meat, glistening with juice, was thus "gifted" by the queen and stuffed into the rebellious kitten's forced-open mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
"generally……"
Chapter 126 Chun-Li's Determination
When the White Queen, Chun-Li, and Tifa hurriedly prepared to serve the dishes, they found that the table was already filled with delicacies.
Chunli's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally settling on the unharmed Li Pu, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
The White Queen frowned, her sharp gaze immediately falling on the composed Marika in the main seat—we're supposed to prepare the dishes as a feint? There's definitely something fishy going on with "Sister-in-law" this time!
Tiffany was taken aback. There were dishes on the table? What about all the Japanese food in the kitchen?
I can't possibly eat it all myself...
Just now, she rushed into the newly opened Japanese restaurant across from the firm, only to find that the owner was actually the cash cow who robbed the bank!
She had no choice but to brace herself and prepare to endure the difficulties, but the woman merely gave her a disdainful glance before her gaze drifted worriedly towards Marika's illustrious motorcade outside the door, muttering in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Tifa to hear:
"My husband has to buy the vegetables on the spot when entertaining guests! He really doesn't know anything about managing a household. He's unworthy to be a concubine..." The tone was full of the "Empress"'s heartache and indignation at the "concubine's" incompetence.
Before Tifa could react, the proprietress Mai Shiranui called to the two sisters and neatly packed up a whole set of top-notch Japanese cuisine and handed it to her—for free!
Although she was thoroughly disgusted by the "concubine theory" and "husband theory," the mission was urgent, and Tifa didn't have time to argue. She turned around and left with the luxurious food boxes that were stacked higher than her, and miraculously, the two of them didn't have a conflict...
At this moment, the three people, each with their own thoughts, looked at each other, and finally walked to the dining table together to sit down.
As soon as she sat down, Marika looked at Lip and posed a question that seemed casual but was actually quite pointed:
"What do you usually eat when you live with Emma?"
The White Queen, who was walking towards her seat, paused slightly, a sudden pang in her heart.
A wave of guilt washed over me.
The office's daily meals consisted of dry, hard bread, biscuits, and hot water. Even the nutritious meals she had prepared for the boy were nothing more than eggs, milk, and thin porridge.
