Lu Xingzhi smiled sweetly, "Xixi asked me to go shopping."
Huo Jincheng felt a bit jealous, Lu Xingzhi never dressed up just for him, so why could that little girl Xiao Xi win her attention?
"Do you want me to drive you?"
Lu Xingzhi shook her head, "No need, Xixi will drive over to pick me up."
"Come here." Huo Jincheng gestured to Lu Xingzhi.
"What’s up?" Without thinking much, Lu Xingzhi walked over.
Huo Jincheng pulled her onto his lap, placing his chin on her shoulder, "Is she better than me?"
Lu Xingzhi looked at him sincerely, "You’re the best."
It’s true; besides her family, Huo Jincheng treated her the best.
In fact, his kindness to her even surpassed that of her own family.
"I don’t feel that way, you treat Xiao Xi better than you treat me." Huo Jincheng playfully nibbled her hand, "Am I not doing well enough? Hmm? Are you not satisfied?"
"I’m not." Lu Xingzhi was just thinking of using her bonus to pick out a gift for Huo Jincheng.
"Zhi Zhi, I’m upset now." Huo Jincheng placed his hand on her delicate waist.
"Then what should I do?"
"Comfort me." Huo Jincheng leaned back, looking lazy and cheeky.
"I don’t know how." Lu Xingzhi pouted, how could she comfort him, he’s not a child.
Even if he were a child, she wouldn’t know how!
"You’re so smart, you’ll think of something." Huo Jincheng chuckled, he was just teasing her.
"Stop laughing." It was really embarrassing.
"Alright. I won’t laugh anymore." Huo Jincheng was playing with Lu Xingzhi’s lipstick, and accidentally broke it.
Then, he looked at Lu Xingzhi.
A flicker of guilt in his eyes.
"Now I’m in a bad mood, really awful."
"Hehe..." Huo Jincheng was actually in a great mood, raising his eyebrows mischievously, "I’ll replace it for you."
"No need, it was bought by you anyway." Lu Xingzhi clearly didn’t grasp the true meaning behind Huo Jincheng’s words.
"But, I want to repay you!" Huo Jincheng wanted to buy her lipstick, buy her lip gloss.
He also wanted to buy her beautiful clothes, bags, and jewelry.
He wanted to buy all the girl’s things for her.
He never said he liked girls without makeup.
Nor would he say, girls don’t need to buy too many things.
As long as Lu Xingzhi liked it, he wanted to buy it for her.
Huo Jincheng took her hand, and touched her soft little hand, "Just sit with me in the study room for a while! Don’t you like my study room?"
"I’m not in the mood to talk to you right now." Lu Xingzhi huffed.
Huo Jincheng’s eyes darkened, teasing her, "Then what will it take for you to talk to me? Also, Zhi Zhi, are you... seducing me?"
"I’m not." She was always well-behaved, "I’ve always followed the rules, never crossed the line."
"To me, you’re just too beautiful."
"If you keep this up, I really won’t talk to you anymore." Lu Xingzhi was still young, she couldn’t withstand Huo Jincheng’s teasing.
And yet, Huo Jincheng loved seeing her blush and shy.
Knowing when to stop, Huo Jincheng was sensible. "Alright, I won’t say more. I’ll have someone bring you something to eat, and you can play on your phone or read a book here while you wait for Xiao Xi to come!"
"Okay." Lu Xingzhi actually really liked Huo Jincheng’s study room, with a big floor-to-ceiling window. It was summer now, but in winter, when the sun came in, it must be very cozy.
As Helian Xi was heading out, Helian Yi happened to be home.
Seeing her grab the car keys and head out, he asked, "Helian Xi, you’ve just gotten home, where are you planning to go now?"
