Chapter 54
"Exactly!" Ji Niandong nodded with conviction, then asked somewhat nervously, "Could you lend me some money? My dad’s hospital stay has nearly drained all my funds. I went to the supermarket today and realized I’m almost broke. Luckily, the kitchen equipment at home is complete, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to cook a meal for you."
"I’ll pay you back later!" She added.
Lu Beichen sighed with a smile, stood up, took out a black card from his wallet, and handed it to her, "This is my supplementary card. I’ve been wanting to give it to you, but feared you’d refuse. Now that you’ve asked, I’m really happy. You’re already my Mrs. Lu, so why ask me for money as if you’re borrowing?"
His tone carried a hint of flirtation and happiness, making Ji Niandong a bit embarrassed, "Even so, I can’t use all of yours!"
Seeing Lu Beichen frown, she quickly took the card in her hand, "Alright, I’ll use Little Uncle’s first. Once I make money, I’ll repay you!"
Lu Beichen was amused by her occasional childishness, "That’s right, Mrs. Lu can’t be a penniless Mrs. Lu. You still need money to take care of me!"
Ji Niandong blushed at his teasing, got up, and turned off the stove, "The soup should be ready, let me serve you a bowl!"
Lu Beichen seldom ate such home-cooked meals, but today, made by her, they looked and smelled wonderful, and he ate with relish.
"I wonder if Doctor Zhu likes these home-cooked dishes!"
She suddenly mentioned Zhu Yiming, making Lu Beichen’s eyes tighten as he asked, "Why bring him up? When did you two become familiar?"
