Chapter 34: This Guy Is Definitely Doing It on Purpose!

“Miss Luoluo,” as soon as the car stopped, Uncle Wang rushed over, delighted, to open the door for her. “Teacher Jiang just called. He said your grades this time have soared—you scored one hundred thirty, and you’re first in your class!”

Ye Luo: “……”

Could he not mention the one hundred thirty and first place… How embarrassing…

Uncle Wang was oblivious to Ye Luo’s speechless expression and continued enthusiastically, “I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare a meal, and there’s a cake as well. Miss Luoluo, you did so well on this exam, you must celebrate!”

Ye Luo: “……”

She silently headed toward the villa.

Uncle Wang followed her inside, still beaming. “I’ve already told sir, and he agreed. He’ll come down and have dinner with you to celebrate.”

Ye Luo: “……”

Is this really a celebration?

Not a mockery?

“Miss Luoluo, please go to the dining room first. I’ll go upstairs to invite sir,” Uncle Wang said upon entering the living room, then went upstairs to fetch Gong Lu.

Ye Luo paused for several seconds, then placed her backpack on the sofa and turned toward the dining room.

She couldn’t afford to mistreat her own body.

She still had to eat.

Upon entering the dining room, Ye Luo saw there was indeed a cake on the table. It was a mousse cake, twelve inches wide, beautifully made, but the glaring ‘130’ written on top made her want to turn around and leave the moment she saw it.

She forced herself to stay.

Just as she sat down, Gong Lu arrived.

Uncle Wang followed a step behind, his face alight with joy.

Gong Lu raised an eyebrow at her as he entered, “One hundred thirty?”

Ye Luo turned away, silently fixing her gaze elsewhere, ignoring the irrepressible smile tugging at Gong Lu’s lips. She had to restrain herself from storming off and starving herself.

The dining table was large; Ye Luo and Gong Lu sat opposite each other, one at each end, while Uncle Wang and several servants stood nearby to attend them.

Tonight’s dinner was more lavish than ever before.

Ye Luo never glanced at Gong Lu across the table, just ate quietly, intending to go upstairs once she finished.

Gong Lu ate much more slowly than she did, leisurely and unhurried. Occasionally, he glanced over at her.

Uncle Wang couldn’t contain his happiness.

He even walked over to Gong Lu’s side, bent down, and asked with a smile, “Sir, shall we open a bottle of champagne? Miss Luoluo has made such great progress this time. Her best score before was only one hundred eleven, but now she’s reached one hundred thirty!”

Ye Luo: “……”

Gong Lu glanced at Ye Luo, who had suddenly frozen with her chopsticks mid-air, and chuckled softly. “Why open champagne? With such outstanding results… Go, bring out a bottle of Lafite from ‘82.”

Ye Luo: “……”

This man is absolutely doing this on purpose!

Deliberately!

“Yes, yes,” Uncle Wang replied, still elated, and hurried over to the wine cabinet for the Lafite.

Once he brought the wine, Uncle Wang poured a glass for Gong Lu first, then stepped over to Ye Luo’s side. He intended to fill the goblet in front of her, but Ye Luo stopped him.

Ye Luo spoke calmly, “I can’t drink alcohol.”

Gong Lu had just lifted his goblet to his lips, ready to take a sip. Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, he froze mid-motion and immediately looked up at her.

What’s the matter—she can’t drink either?

“Can’t drink alcohol?” Uncle Wang paused, puzzled. “Miss Luoluo, are you allergic to alcohol, or is it…?”
