At first, she thought that she could read relaxingly like she was in a library, but she soon found out that it was impossible.

Sitting beside Ren, she could feel a very oppressing aura surrounding the whole study. It’s so difficult to read with him staying here.

“Uhm, Mr. Ren, I’ll be going downstairs now. She left knowingly.

Watching her exit the room, the man could finally breathe easy as he closed the book shut. In actuality, he was not reading the book either; he was merely acting.

Although he could deal with all sorts of people, he found himself unable to get along with a young girl. Who could believe him if he said this?

Arriving downstairs, Ruka went straight to the kitchen to help out, causing the servants to be taskless instead. Scarlet, who was cooking, chatted with her god daughter lovingly. In an outsider’s eyes, they seemed just like mother and daughter.

A short while after, Ren came down to the laughter of Ruka. Subsequently, he switched to the news channel while a servant served a new cup of tea, not daring to stay in the living room in fear of disturbing him.

Soon, Ruka started to serve the dishes before she delivered a smile to the man sitting on the couch. Heading back to the kitchen, she asked, “Aunt Scarlet, does Mr. Ren have a girlfriend?”

This made Scarlet grumble. “No, he hasn’t! We are all concerned about his marital affairs, yet he keeps saying that he’s too busy to care about that.”

Ruka laughed upon hearing this. “I don’t think he’s even thinking about this.”

“We’ve got no choice as well. With a man as capable as he is, his standards are naturally sky high.” Scarlet was feeling helpless, for she and Ren’s age difference was too big, creating a generation gap between them.

Ruka agreed with Scarlet as no ordinary woman would dare to woo a young man who wielded such power! Besides, Ren was too domineering, so who would even dare to strike up a conversation with him? I know first-hand how that felt. The pressure he emitted when they were ‘reading’ earlier was enough for her to want to escape.

Hence, if he did not take the first step, what woman would dare to woo him? At last, Walter had returned when the last dish was served, making it the perfect time to start dinner.

“It’s time to eat, Mr. Ren!” Ruka became the moodsetter of the house. Switching the television off, Ren stood up and went to the dining table while Walter approached him with a bottle of good wine. “This is from my treasured collection. Let’s have a drink.”

Yet, Ren only waved. “Perhaps we’ll do it next time, Walter. I still have work to do when I get back.”

In the end, Walter could only enjoy the wine by himself. Not only was he not angered, he did not pressure him further either. After all, he reserved respect for Ren as who he was.

“Ruka, try this. This is the barbeque pork ribs you adore so much. Since I haven’t cooked for a while, I might have gotten rusty. Let me know if it’s good.”

Picking up one of the ribs, Ruka tasted it while Ren was sitting opposite her. As she took a bite, her eyes glowed upon indulging the scrumptious flavors. “It’s still as delicious as I remembered! You really do know the way to my heart, Aunt Scarlet.”

“You sure know how to talk.” Scarlet was overjoyed inside before placing food on her little brother’s plate. “Eat up. You should eat on time since you’re so busy all the time.”

Ren tried some too. It really is quite delicious.

“Isn’t your birthday in a few days, Ruka? We’ll have to prepare a proper banquet,” suggested Walter.

“Uncle Walter, let’s just spend it in a simple fashion. Let’s just have a meal as a family.” Ruka did not want them to spend too much.

“Have you spent your twenty-third birthday?” asked Ren.

“Yup. I’m going to be twenty-four this year.” Ruka was happy to have grown a year older.

“Oh, yeah. Are you seeing anyone now, Ruka?” Scarlet popped a sudden question.

Ruka outright blushed as she bit on her fork. “I don’t! But, I have someone I like.”

Her words made Ren look straight at her, his visage turned solemn.

“Really? How old is he? Where’s he from?” Scarlet’s interest was piqued.

“From the same town. He’s my senior and he’ll be returning from abroad tomorrow,” Ruka stated everything honestly.

“How is he, personality and family wise?” Scarlet was like a mother that could only relax after knowing everything about the person.

“Yup. He’s a nice guy and he treats me well. I’m not too sure about his family though. I haven’t asked him about that,” Ruka replied.

Walter, who was happy to hear this, looked like a father that was looking forward to the day his daughter would get married.

It was then someone interrupted, “Walter, do you have any wine left?”

Hearing this, Walter quickly stood up and poured a glass for Ren as Scarlet asked surprisingly, “Didn’t you say that you have work later?”

“It’s fine. I’ll sleep better after this.” Ren then downed half the glass in one shot.

“Slow down, Mr. Ren. Your stomach will be damaged if you drink so quickly.” Ruka was concerned for him.

Yet, she found herself looking into a very solemn gaze.

Frightened, she immediately looked down and continued eating, not daring to stop him from drinking anymore.

Placing his glass down, Ren said to the girl opposite him, “Didn’t you wanna borrow a cat? I have one at home.”

Stunned for a few seconds, Ruka was overjoyed at this. “Mr. Ren, you actually have a cat!”

“I do. I’ll tell my men to send her over tomorrow,” he said nonchalantly. “That’s great! I needed a cat!” She then said to Walter, “Uncle Walter, I found a rat in the study earlier. I was worried that it might chew on the book, so this is why I wanted a cat to scare it away.”

“Really? Are there mice in the study again? I found one last time too. I think it’s because of the impending winter, making the mice seek somewhere warm,” stated Walter somewhat frustratingly.

“This would happen less if we were in an apartment. But, it’s hard to avoid since we live in a villa.” Scarlet pointed out.

Eating just a few mouthfuls, Walter noticed that Ren’s cup was already empty. He was about to pour him another glass when Scarlet forbade him. “That’s enough. You just concentrate on filling your own glass.”

“It’s so rare that Ren is drinking with us. C’mon, let us have more!” Walter was a bit upset.

At that moment, Ruka was snickering before she matched gazes again with Ren. whose fierce look made her freeze as she stiffened up like an obedient child.
