President's Contract Wife
Chapter 173 Only Outwit 2

Raymond notices Nina is in a bit of a dilemma, and there is a bit of loss flashing by the bottom of his eyes. He quickly adds, "It's OK. Since it's inconvenient for you, I'll go alone."

Nina feels a little uneasy to hear him say that, and she can only smile and explain, "No, I'm just not very interested in the concert..."

She wants to politely decline him, but he is aware of her kindness and says with a smile, "Are you interested in dinner? After listening to the concert, I will happen to pass by your house. Can we have a dinner together?" Again, the same reason... Nina nods helplessly, "Eh... Let's talk about it then!"

Nina decides to replace another reason to get rid of it by the time. She is too embarrassed to refuse him twice in a row.

Friday off work is the most relaxing time. Nina hasn't cooked for a long time. Therefore, on the way home, she buys some food materials in the supermarket and prepares to make some delicacy for herself.

When Nina comes out of the elevator with several bags of food materials, she really has the illusion that the world is collapsing.

Leaning on her door, a man stretches his legs comfortably and casually. Who can this man be if he is not Lucien?

Doesn't he come back on Sunday? Why... Why he comes back today?

The elevator hasn't come up yet, and Nina has to run to the stairwell with her ingredients in a hurry.

The damned man captures her in the dark stairwell, "Nina! Why do you run? How can you hide when you see me?"

Nina is tired of him. She turns her head and shouts, "Who are you to block my door? It's really annoying of you to be so importunate!" Lucien is also angry, "I worked overtime desperately, just to catch up the date with you. Is this your attitude towards me?"

His arm is like a pair of pliers, which makes her aching. By the dim light of the corridor, Nina can see the gathering anger in his eyes.

Nina regrets it. How could she forget that she can only be soft with this man, instead of uncompromising?

"Did I let you work overtime? Have I asked you to come back to see me?" Nina doesn't say what she wants to say and she only says slowly, "I just don't like being blocked. It makes me feel like I have no privacy and I'm being watched everywhere and every time." Nina's tone is better, and then Luciens strength is looser, "Let's not talk about this temporarily. I want to know why don't you accept the cell phone?"

Nina replies officially, "This mobile phone is too expensive, and it will be very tired to use. I'm afraid of wetting it when I drink water, and I'm afraid of losing it when I take the subway. It's not for careless persons like me."

"Did you buy a new cell phone?" Lucien turns to other topics.

Nina nods, "Yes."

"Then why don't you tell me your new number?" Lucien's tone turns sour again.

Nina looks around. Besides the dark corridor, there's only a layer of steps. It is impossible to run away!

To deal with Lucien, she needs to be soft and peaceable and not to give tit for tat.

"Er... I don't know your number. How can I tell you?" Nina pretends to be innocent.

Lucien pats her on the head, "Well, for the sake of your ignorance, I'll forgive your first mistake this time."

Nina takes a step back and feels humiliated. Isn't this kind of head clapping action only for little dogs, kitten and little boys or girls?

"How can you carry so many things?" Lucien notices Nina's big shopping bags and frowns. He grabs them from her and takes everything in his own hands.

The bags full of food are very heavy. Lucien's brow is even tighter, "Why are these bags so heavy? What are in them?"

"It's all ingredients, such as veggie, fruit, noodles, and etc." Nina honestly replies, and her brain is running at full speed. What could she do to drive Lucien away?

It is really and really upset to let him know her house!

Nina has just finished when Lucien's stomach echoes several times.

Nina can't help laughing and her eyes curve with laughter, "Wow, did I hear that wrong? How could Mr. Gray be hungry? Is Gray Group going to close down? Can't even afford a boxed meal?"

"My stupid girl!" Lucien takes another pat on her head.

Their height difference is 14cm. It's very handy to pat her on the head.

"Ah! Don't always pat me on the head! I was very smart originally, but I am going to be fooled by your flap." Nina takes a step back and stares at him.

She doesn't realize that she is joking and chatting with Lucien.

But Lucien realizes it. He has a good-looking curve at the corner of his mouth in a good mood, "If Gray Group goes out of business, it's also your fault!"

He says and goes to take her hand very spontaneously, "Since you have bought these food materials, you must hurry up to make a rich dinner to apologize to me!"

Is she responsible for the Gray's collapse? Does she need to make dinner to express her apology?

What is the logic? No matter what she thinks, she can't think of the connection.

Lucien has already took away her bag, found out the key, and entered her house just like back to his own home. His series of actions, which are the same natural as the running clouds and flowing water, makes Nina stunned! Lucien pulls her into the room, "Come in and sit down. Be free!"

The smile on his face is very evil.

"Hello! Do you think of yourself... as the owner of this house?" Nina swears that it is the first time she sees such a thick-skinned man for the past 27 years.

"I'm so hungry. Go and make me something to eat! I haven't eaten anything today!" Lucien turns a deaf ear to her accusations and complains like a spoiled child.00000
