Lu Xingzhi wasn’t sure about this, but she could feel Huo Jincheng’s care for her.
Next door, Huo Jincheng was in an exceptionally good mood.
Although he said he didn’t need Lu Xingzhi to give him gifts, he wore the bead string she gave him and looked at it for a long time.
He even narcissistically took a photo of it. After all, it was the first gift Lu Xingzhi had given him.
He felt that just he knowing wasn’t enough; others had to know as well.
Then, he took a photo and posted it in a group chat with a few friends.
[A gift from my Zhi Zhi.]
After sending this message, he followed up with another one.
[She hopes I can have a lifetime of peace and health.]
Soon, WeChat pinged several times.
The first one was from Qin Shihuai, [Whoa! Jincheng, I just found out today, you’re quite the show-off. Isn’t it just a little gift from Little Zhi Liao? Is it necessary? It’s like no one else has ever received a gift.]
Mo Jinyan: [It is indeed a bit showy, just a gift. If you’re so capable, have a son.]
Si Jinghan: [Did something happen that I don’t know about? Right, I heard Jincheng has a fiancée now. Is this a public display of affection?]
Huo Jincheng wasn’t bothered by their words and quickly sent a message back. [You’re just jealous. I can’t blame you; after all, you’re all single right now.]
Qin Shihuai, sensing the heavy scent of romance, directly sent a voice message over.
"You’re really over the top! Does your Little Zhi Liao know about your internal excitement? You’re only halfway there with her, and your fiancée hasn’t even realized it yet! You better take care of your little brother, or it’ll become useless before it even starts."
Mo Jinyan joined in, "Although Shihuai is usually unreliable, he’s right this time. Don’t let it become useless."
Si Jinghan: "I think I should meet this girl who managed to win over the third young master of the Huo Family. I’ll be back in the country next week, just in time to meet her."
Qin Shihuai: "Wow! You finally decided to come back. If you hadn’t, I would have worried if there’s still a place for you in your own home."
At this moment, far away abroad, Si Jinghan smirked sarcastically out the window, "Don’t worry, what’s mine, no one can take away."
Huo Jincheng: [I’ll treat you when you arrive.]
Si Jinghan joked, "Are you bringing your fiancée?"
Huo Jincheng: "It’s time to introduce her to you all formally."
Si Jinghan: [Seems serious! I really must meet her.]
After sending Helian Xi home, Helian Yi drove back to his apartment.
As he was getting ready for bed, he took out his phone and saw ten missed calls, seven of which were from Shen Xinzhu.
Sighing, he still called her back.
"Sister Xinzhi, did you call me today? Sorry, I was busy today and didn’t check my phone."
"Little Yi, you must be tired! Have you eaten yet?" Shen Xinzhu asked with concern.
Helian Yi lay on the bed, "I’ve already eaten. Sister Xinzhi, was there something you needed when you called?"
"Little Yi, today I ran into Lu Xingzhi." Shen Xinzhu’s voice grew somber, with a hint of grievance.
"You two didn’t have a clash, did you?" Helian Yi knew deep down that a clash indeed occurred, which Helian Xi had already mentioned.
But he couldn’t bring himself to directly tell Shen Xinzhu.
"Little Yi, I feel like a failure. Am I destined to never outshine her?"
