6. Braised beef

Lili went back to her room and ordered Lihua to prepare her bath. She needs to prepare her wonderful honey trap plan.
She took a long hot bath to ensure that her skin was softer. She asked for lotion, but there was none. 'Ah! If my mission were to get rich, I would have been able to land myself a fortune just by creating products that will sell or maybe open a restaurant. Thankfully, it is not, and all I have to do is beautify myself in the already beautiful body so that I can seduce the 2D MLs and get myself laid. I love it!'
When she was done bathing, Lihua and the servants started dressing her. 'Gosh, what's with this ugly looking nightwear? I need to go shopping and buy some lace, if they have that here. I need to seduce my man, not look like some ancient woman! Oh, I am an ancient woman now, but that's beyond the point' she thought.

When it was time for dinner, since Lili gave face to Zhang Zuo's family, he was kind enough to grace her with his presence.
The two of them sat on the chairs in front of the dining table and then the servants came in to serve their food.
When the servant placed the braised beef on the table, Lili smiled at Zhang Zuo.
Zhang Zuo looked at her in askance.
"That is called braised beef, I specially cooked it for you!" she said, trying to act loving.
Zhang Zuo hardened his heart and chose to place a piece of everything on his plate except for the braised beef even though it smelled so good.
"I don't like eating oily food." He said.
'Really? Typical male lead attitude to girls not the female lead. Ugh!' Lili thought, but she's not Lili if she's gonna let that get in the way of her honey trap.
So, she took the plate of Braised beef and placed it in front of her. How should she seduce him? She wondered.
Thinking her idea was bright, she took one piece with her chopsticks and hovered it in front of Zhang Zuo's lips. "Say, ah…" she said.
Zhang Zuo turned away, but Lili was persuasive. She stood up from her sitting position, then continued to hover it in front of his mouth.
Since Zhang Zuo was turning left and right so that he won't eat it, Lili pretended to fall on top of his body so that she was now lying on his lap.
"Ah, husband, why do you not want to eat my braised beef? Even though it's oily, I did my best to cook for you. I feel so sad.." she said as she cried and started hugging him.
Zhang Zuo was mortified. 'How did we come to this position?' he asked himself.
"Lili, get off me."
"Not until you promise to have at least a bite of the braised beef I serve you!"
Zhang Zuo felt a headache coming, but he didn't want to push her off him and accidentally hurt her, so he said, "Ok, just one alright. Then you have to move and go back to your sit."
'Ah! You 2D man, see how creative a 4D woman can be!', So Lili took a new set of chopsticks to pick one beef, then she placed it between her teeth.
Now, instead of hovering the beef in front of Zhang Zuo with chopsticks, it was between her teeth.
She looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to bite the beef from her mouth.
Zhang Zuo didn't know what to do or say. What was Lili doing? Was she crazy?
Lili's jaw was starting to hurt, so she leaned closer to his mouth so that he can take it.
Zhang Zuo backed away from Lili who kept moving forward, until, he fell from his seat, and her along with him. This time, he was lying on the floor with Lili sprawled on top of him.
Lili liking this position more, spit the beef. Although it tasted good, certainly, Zhang Zuo would taste better. Holding both his cheeks, she was about to kiss him.
Zhang Zuo was alert and used his hand to push her head away.
"Husband, you promised me that you will taste my braised beef! You're a liar!"
"Lili, get a hold of yourself. Get off me this instance!"
Lili did not want to, but Zhang Zuo was stronger than her. He made them both stand up, and he kept her at arm's length.
"You eat here alone. I'm going to the study." Zhang Zuo said.
"But… husband… what about dinner? I painstakingly prepared food for you." Lili explained.
"You eat alone. I will go. Tomorrow, I will not join you for dinner. I have a lot of work to do."
"Then, how will we talk about my bride's homecoming? It will be on the day after tomorrow. Aren't you going with me?" Lili asked.
"I will go with you. But Lili, as I said, I will never love you, and activities between husband and wife should be made out of love."
'God damn it you 2D male! It's ok if you don't love me! I don't love you either! Ha! Fine! You want it that way? Just wait, I will get you to lie with me the next time!'
Lili pretended to sob, "Then I will have no choice but to let you go… but husband, on the day after we return from the visit to my family, please promise that you will share dinner with me… it's my birthday."
Zhang Zuo did not even know when her birthday was, their family exchanged their eight characters and have them checked but he never bothered. Trusting that she was telling the truth, he nodded his head. "Okay. Then, I will go now."
Lili smirked as he left. Thinking, 'ha! You sucker, it's not my birthday. Anyway, you just get ready! On that night, you will have nowhere to escape. Your body is going to be mine! Mwahahahaha!'
