18. Different approach

Lili went home feeling sorry for herself. She had tried different tactics to lure the MLs and so far, the only success she had was with Zhang Zuo who she even had to use aphrodisiac on. Was she that appalling?
She walked towards her vanity to look at her face. White skin, beautiful double-eyelid eyes slightly upturned at the ends giving a seductive look, pouty red lips, thin and high bridge nose. Alright, she might not look like some innocent doe-eyed heroine, but she was really beautiful.
Then, she started undressing herself. Even her body was gorgeous. So, what was it that she was doing wrong? She tried to play nice, she tried to play like some pitiful heroine, she even tried to offer her body straight on. But none of them worked!
Perhaps, she should just go and turn herself into a seductress 100%, maybe then they will understand that all she wanted was their body? Better yet, she should just use aphrodisiac on all of them so that she will be able to get what she wanted.
Not a bad idea. Anyway, if it doesn't work out, she still has 4 novels to go to. Don't focus on making them fall in love too much, besides, it's so difficult with her status of a married woman.
Whatever. Lili decided. From that day forward, she will just be true to herself and act how she wanted to act. Do what she wanted to do.

The next morning, Lili instructed Lihua to ready the carriage to go to Haochi restaurant. Maybe, she's lucky that day and will be able to see Lu Wei.
She decided to go for Lu Wei next. Feng Jun after, while Wang Huo, well she'll just think about him later. She doesn't want to die prematurely.
Arriving at Haochi, she booked a private room for herself with a window overlooking the streets. That way, she would see if Lu Wei has arrived. She also instructed the receptionist who recognized her to tell Lu Wei that she was waiting for him in the private room once he arrives.
After an hour of waiting, to her utter delight, she saw Lu Wei arrive. He started talking to the receptionist and then he looked up and their eyes met. Her heart started beating fast. This was it. She gave him a smile and waved her dainty fingers.
By the way, just in case, she also brought aphrodisiac with her. She's not that dumb to not come prepared. No matter, she was not scared, Lu Wei won't kill her anyway.

"General, welcome back to Haochi!" the receptionist greeted as Lu Wei got off his horse and handed the rein to his soldier.
"Table for 8." He said.
"General, ah, remember the lady from 3 days ago? She's here now and she booked a private room upstairs and told me to inform you that she's waiting for you there." The receptionist shared.
Lu Wei furrowed his brows as he tried to recall who the receptionist was referring to. Then, he remembered the strange girl who confessed her love for him out of nowhere. Honestly speaking, she was quite a beauty, but she was just too weird. What was her name again? Oh yeah. Lili.
Since she was just a random girl he met on the streets, he did not try to find her real identity. Still, she made an impression on him. If not, he won't remember her name. He recalled the same night the day they met, he thought of her and laughed. She was funny and their encounter strange. It was something out of the ordinariness of his monotonous daily life.
Curious why she was looking for him again, he asked. "How long has she been there?"
"About an hour, General. Should I escort you there?"
Lu Wei felt someone looking at him from above, so he looked up. There he saw Lili. Their eyes met and she smiled at him and even waved her fingers. He shook his head, really shameless. Still, he felt that he should oblige and see her. She did make him laugh and have mentioned that she needed his help from the last time.
"No need, I know the way."

The door was opened before Lu Wei can even knock.
"General Lu Wei, I'm so glad that you deigned to honor me with your presence." Lili began.
"Miss Lili, why were you looking for me?" he asked.
Lili gave him a once over, 'So handsome and sexy. Today, you're mine whether you like it or not.'
"General, it's because I really need your help. Please, come in, I will tell you inside." Lili explained.
Lu Wei thinking that Lili was just a harmless girl, nodded in agreement as he walked through the open door.
Lili closed the door behind them smirking.
