Chapter 381: 0381 Opened Up Belly_1

Although bumping into Zoe Lewis was somewhat expected, inviting Clinton White for a meal was even more so.

But at least it was just for lunch.

Ruffy Smith felt he could endure that much.

Going to the supermarket was still necessary.

They browsed the vegetable and seafood areas, selecting some lavish ingredients.

At half-past ten, they drove back with a full box in the trunk, though it was impossible to cook much, after all, Ellen Young was just one person.

She hadn’t cooked some of the dishes before and was even searching for recipes online.

While in the car, she casually asked Ruffy, "Isn’t today your birthday? Why aren’t you hosting a birthday party at your own place?"

She asked nonchalantly, mainly because if Ruffy could come over to her place for a meal, he certainly had time for a birthday party.

"No need, I’ve got a lot on my plate this year, so I didn’t want to throw one."

Ruffy gave a lazy excuse, but in reality, he hadn’t thought about having one, and was even wondering what he’d do if he couldn’t get back to the countryside that day.

But now that Ellen Young was in Imperial City, he had some time.

"I can only have lunch, I’ll be busy in the afternoon."

Ruffy sighed.

After all, taking over the family business did indeed make him busier than he could control.

Ellen Young simply nodded.

Ruffy asked her, "How long do you plan to be busy in Imperial City before you go back?"

"I’ll go back once things have progressed."

After all, there were still three episodes of the program left to film.

And she planned to settle in the countryside.

Ruffy nodded thoughtfully.

When they arrived at the bottom of Ellen Young’s building, they drove the car into the apartment garage, and as Ruffy and Ellen Young emerged, they encountered a few residents along the way.

They seemed a bit surprised to see Ellen Young and Ruffy.

In Imperial City, although not everyone knew Ruffy, Ellen Young’s affair had caused quite a stir. Everyone was curious about this legendary super genius, and people from different social strata took interest, especially since Ellen Young also had many ventures.

Thus, quite a few people knew who she was.

Seeing her appear here was a surprise.

However, since they didn’t know her personally, they did not dare to approach her; instead, they whispered to each other as they passed by.

After bringing up the groceries, Ellen Young began to cook.

When Ruffy entered her house, he glanced around.

Ellen Young didn’t actually live here often, and the decoration style was mostly minimalist, not revealing much of a lived-in atmosphere.

But after staying here for a while, the living room, which was completely open to view, was filled with random mechanical equipment and materials. In the corner of the wall in the living room, Michael was sitting there charging obediently. Seeing Ruffy arrive, he even politely lifted his hand and habitually asked him, "Have you eaten?"

Ruffy ignored him.

Blackie saw a familiar face and darted over from the sofa, pouncing at Ruffy’s feet and barking twice.

Ruffy squinted at Blackie, and seeing its fur clean and shiny, he knew it was well taken care of by Ellen Young. He wasn’t fond of these little animals due to his obsession with cleanliness, but since it was Ellen’s pet, he bent down and gently stroked Blackie’s head.

Puppies love being petted, and seeing Ruffy petting it, Blackie instantly rolled over, exposing its belly.

Its big eyes looked up at Ruffy, watery and expectant.

Ruffy: "..."
