Chapter 20 After Lunar New Year

The sight of her diligently doing household chores, quietly enduring everything, was beyond his expectations. Based on her proud peacock-like attitude towards others in the past, she would probably panic and scream at the sight of oil stains.

She had become his mistress and even regained her status as a rich girl, the value of the sensational rumors he provided her was enough for her to buy piles of branded clothes. Yet, she still wore the same old dresses and sweaters, exchanging them but never growing tired of them.

"After the Lunar New Year," Lilian didn't need to think much about this answer. The first day of the Lunar New Year was always a turning point in her life, completely upheaving her world.

*When did she start wearing old clothes? After the Lunar New Year.*

*When did she stop **sleeping with **holding onto **dolls* *to sleep**? After the Lunar New Year.*

*When did she learn to do household chores? After the Lunar New Year.*

*When did she start picking up even one cent from the ground? After the Lunar New Year.*

*When did she start being afraid of meeting her former classmates and friends? After the Lunar New Year.*

...

*Too many* *big changes always happened after the Lunar New Year.**, too many things.*

"It's ready," Lilian perked up and carried two bowls of noodles to the outdoor dining table, smiling as she called over Vincenzo, who was still standing at the entrance. "Come and eat, aren't you hungry?"

"Yeah," Vincenzo walked over and sat down.

Picking up the his chopsticks, he took a bite, light and refreshing, not bad at all, even better than what he used to cook back thenin the day.

He and sheThe two of them were polar opposites.

In the year when she went from a rich young lady to Cinderella, he was brought back to the Lombardi family and transformed from a street thug to the a young mastermafia prince of the Lombardi family.

Since then, he never cooked by for himself again.

"Is it delicious?" Lilian didn't have much of an appetite, but she kept watching him eat.

"It's passable." Vincenzo reluctantly gave a mediocre evaluation, but his chopsticks never stopped moving...

*Such an awkward man.*

If it was William, even if he ate something she made that was hard to swallow, he would definitely say in the gentlest tone in the world, "Lilian, this is delicious."

Chapter 22: Make Her Happy

Lilian watched him eat the noodles quietly, and for a moment, her gaze flickered and William's gentle smile appeared in her mind.

When she saw him about to break the noodles with his chopsticks, Lilian hurriedly leaned forward and held his hand, excitedly saying, "Don't break them, it's not auspiciousbad luck."

"What?" Vincenzo frowned, staring at the soft delicate skin on the back of his hand. Her fingertips felt a bit cold.

*Did she catch a cold from the wind just now?*

Only then did Lilian realize what she had done. She stared at the man in front of her with his sinister and stern face, quickly withdrew her hand, and awkwardly squeezed out a smile. "It's not good to break the noodles before eating; if left unbroken then it’s supposed to give you a long life.it's not good for longevity."

"Lilian, you still believe in such things?" Vincenzo's tone was filled with disbelief as he stirred the noodles in his bowl and snorted, "Besides, it's not your birthday, so why eat longevity long life noodles?"

*He’s right, it’s no**t* *HIS* *birthday**.*

Yeah, it's not his birthday, so why make longevity noodles...

Lilian lowered her head to pick up a strand of noodles with her chopsticks, intending to eat it, but the noodles broke before reaching her mouth and fell back into the bowl.

Suddenly, her eyes became sorewere stinging, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Yoo-na's new movie 'Kill' is VL's heaviest investment this year, and it's preparing to enter the foreign market. I'll leave all the media coverage for this movie to you," Vincenzo said while eating.

After a while, Lilian forcefully suppressed her tears and looked up at him, somewhat surprised. "All of it to me? You're giving me exclusive rights to cover such a big movie?"

"Can't handle it?" Vincenzo said raiseding an eyebrow.

"I can handle it!" Lilian hurriedly said, afraid that he would change his mind. It would be foolish not to secure such a big exclusive.

*During **On **William's birthday, she finally encountered something worth celebrating. How nice.*

A fleeting moment of astonishment crossed Vincenzo's face.

The recently tear-stained face suddenly brightened with a shallow smile, her almond-shaped eyes half-closed, as if restraining her happiness, not wanting to be too conspicuous.

*Nevertheless... there was still bitterness in her eyes, but this was a smile that he rarely saw.*

*This girl...*

*So easily appeased.*

Although he enjoyed seeing her surrender, he had to admit that seeing her happy was softening him up at time. A smile was even .

The appearance is even more captivating for men. It was as if the woman is, clean, without any impurities.

If this was her response, then In that case, a few more exclusive ones media offers would not hurt.

Letting her joyfully indulge in his breath, Vincenzo was very satisfied with this point.

After having supper, Vincenzo wasn't sleepy and ended up cuddling with her on the couch to watch a movie. It was a commercial film, with a little bit of everything, both melodrama and grand scenes, ... but it strangely lacked any appeal, similar to a hypnotic film.

Before long, Lilian fell asleep in his arms.

She didn't know whether or not to thank Vincenzo. After all, every birthday of William's after New Year's Day, she would spend sleepless nights, but this time, she actually slept deeply...

*************************

After handing in Yoo-na's nude scene and script for the new movie "Killing," Lilian tapped her neck and stretched with a big yawn at her desk.

Before long, her phone started vibrating. - iIt was a multimedia message from Vincenzo.

Lilian inexplicably opened it and he had actually sent a picture of them kissing in the car.

*When did he save this picture on his phone? *

The angle of the shot was taken at a 45-degree angle downwards. One of his hands embraced her body, his head slightly lowered, dominantly kissing her lips. It was almost ravishing, but there was a beam of light that softened the entire picture.

*This childish man. *

Lilian helplessly shook her head, her finger hovering over the delete key. After some consideration, she decided not to press it, since he had helped her sleep well. She reluctantly kept this picture.

Suddenly, the ringtone blared and a string of unfamiliar numbers covered the original picture. Lilian picked up with a faint smile on her lips, saying, "Hello, this is Lilian."

"I'm This is Yoo-na," a bewitching female voice sounded arrogantly on the other end of the phone, with a condescending tone. "I have an hour of free time nextcoming up soon. Come to the studio E.S. headquarters for an interview."

Upon hearing Yoo-na's voice, Lilian was momentarily stunned, then remembered what Vincenzo said last night. He entrusted her with all the media reports about "Killing," including the interview with Yoo-na.

Yoo-na was the new queen of cinema, so the interview had great value.

However, ... E.S. headquartersVincenzo’s studio was located in the prime area of the city, which City C, was quite a distance from her small magazine.

"Miss LiuMiss. Kim, I will hurry over," Lilian restrained her smile, picked up her bag, and rushed out.

"Yes, hurry up, I can't spend all of my time on a third-rate magazine like yours," Yoo-na sarcastically said, "I still have to have lunch with JuefengVincenzo, so hurry... huh, JuefengVincenzo, did you finish your meeting? I've been waiting here for so long..."

*... **Yoo-na was in Vincenzo's office? *
