Lu Xingzhi couldn’t bring herself to ask what it was after all.
She was still thinking, she couldn’t even speak, so how could she refuse?
So, was this planned, or premeditated?
He looks like a gentleman, but in reality, he’s a rogue.
In her distraction, she heard Huo Jincheng’s joyful laughter ring out.
His mood was exploding with happiness.
Hearing him laugh , Lu Xingzhi’s face turned even redder, and she said softly, "You can’t do this anymore."
"I just gave you a chance to refuse me," Huo Jincheng said somewhat roguishly, "You can’t blame me for this."
"You did it on purpose, you deliberately set me up," Lu Xingzhi’s enchanting eyes shimmered with tears, making her even more alluring.
"How can you say it’s a setup?" Huo Jincheng laughed gently, "I like you."
"But still..." Forget it, she’s not going to say anything.
She had never been in love before, didn’t know what it was like to like someone, or what liking someone entailed.
But hadn’t Huo Jincheng never been in love either?
"Zhi Zhi, what did you want to say?" Huo Jincheng, hearing her stop halfway, was a bit curious about what she wanted to say.
"If I say something you don’t like to hear, do you still want to hear it?" Lu Xingzhi deliberately said.
"Then there’s no need to say it." Huo Jincheng’s voice was restrained and deep, "Do you hate me?"
Lu Xingzhi bit her lip, shook her head, and said honestly, "I don’t hate you."
"Then that means you like me." Huo Jincheng’s eyes lifted with joy, drawing out a dazzling smile.
Then he whispered something into her ear.
Lu Xingzhi looked at Huo Jincheng, embarrassed and annoyed, with a touch of playfulness, "Uncle, you’re really too bad."
"Yes, I am bad." Huo Jincheng admitted in good spirits.
His little girl was truly adorable.
In Huo Jincheng’s eyes, no matter what Lu Xingzhi did, every glance, every smile delighted him, he liked them all.
Gently stroking Lu Xingzhi’s head, Huo Jincheng slowly spoke, "Lu Xingzhi, you’re truly remarkable, disturbing the heart I’ve kept calm for nearly thirty years."
"Zhi Zhi, I think, I’ve truly fallen for you."
As if speaking to himself, Huo Jincheng continued, "Zhi Zhi, before you came along, I thought that someone like me wouldn’t fall in love with anyone in this lifetime. But you appeared. I’m so glad you came into my life and became my fiancée."
Lu Xingzhi’s heart was slightly touched, suddenly feeling like it was bumped by something, beating a bit irregularly.
"I’m also very happy to have met you." There was absolutely no falsehood in Lu Xingzhi’s words. "Really, I feel that meeting you must be the greatest luck of my life."
"I didn’t expect our Zhi Zhi to say such beautiful words." Huo Jincheng truly didn’t expect such heartwarming words to come from Lu Xingzhi’s small mouth.
Hmm, not bad, she could continue to work on it.
Huo Jincheng hoped that when she faced him, she wouldn’t be so indifferent, unlike with others.
He wanted to be the most special person in Lu Xingzhi’s heart, the most important one.
He hoped even more that she could love him as much as he loved her.
Not that much, just a third would be enough.
It’s not that his love was humble, but rather, he fell in love first. He also wanted to give more.
For Lu Xingzhi, he was willing to give his all.
Lu Xingzhi felt underestimated, "Hmph! I sing even better than I speak, do you want to hear it?"
