As Ares ate, Lu Xiao kept a close eye on his expression. She was still a little worried about whether he truly liked the pickled fish, concerned that he might hide his real feelings because of her own preferences.
But when she saw him eating until the tip of his nose beaded with sweat, his eyes clear and bright, and with no hint of restraint in his expression, the smile on her lips widened. "Ares, after we visit Duke Galli Odello this week, let's go pick out a hover car and finalize the site for the Earl's Mansion, shall we?"
These were all things they had agreed to do before, but they had been too busy to get around to them.
Now that they finally had some time, they had to hurry and get them sorted out.
The main reason, however, was that she just wanted to spend some time out with Ares.
Ares, of course, had no objections. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Lu Xiao didn't ask Ares what he thought of the pickled fish. His actions had already proven that he liked it.
