Huo Jincheng laughed heartily, saying, "No, no, no, you’re the cutest."
How could she be so adorable, even seriously gesturing to him like that.
"If you say so!" Lu Xingzhi didn’t argue with him, after all, he was complimenting her.
"Hahaha..." Huo Jincheng pinched her face twice again. Her little face seemed like it could squirt water.
"Don’t keep pinching my face, it’ll get deformed." Lu Xingzhi moved his hand away and rubbed her face as if to restore it to its original shape.
"I won’t pinch, but can I kiss?" Huo Jincheng didn’t wait for Lu Xingzhi’s answer and went in to kiss her.
Luckily, they were in the living room, and Huo Jincheng only gave her a soft peck on the cheek before pulling away.
Lu Xingzhi wrinkled her little face. "Don’t kiss me in the living room, others might see."
"Then should we go to the room and kiss?" Huo Jincheng deliberately misinterpreted her words, leading her astray.
Huo Jincheng touched his nose, covering half of his face, also to hide his smile.
Soon he returned to his usual calm manner, saying, "Is this not okay either? You reject this and that, so what can we do? Or should I take back everything I’ve done for you?"
"I better go practice piano!" Lu Xingzhi stood up, refusing to deal with him anymore.
He kept setting traps for her.
She couldn’t outtalk him.
It’s said he’s a gentleman, cold and abstinent, but to her, he seemed like a rogue.
At most, he’s just a good-looking rogue, an elegant scoundrel.
Huo Jincheng pulled her back down, "Don’t practice, dinner is already served, let’s sit over there."
Better not talk anymore, it wouldn’t be good if she really got angry.
After dinner, Huo Jincheng took Lu Xingzhi for a walk around the neighborhood.
The night was picturesque, a gentle breeze blowing, neither of them spoke, just quietly walked.
Silvery moonlight fell upon them, adding a layer of untimely ambiguity, making the night alluring.
"There will be a banquet soon, it’s Jing Han and Tian Tian’s engagement party." For others, Huo Jincheng might not go, but Si Jinghan was his lifelong friend, so naturally he would attend.
"Aren’t they already engaged? Do they still need an engagement party?" Lu Xingzhi had never experienced these things since childhood, so she naturally didn’t understand.
"Right now, they’re only engaged. After the party, the engagement will be more solidified." Huo Jincheng looked at her, "We’ll have one too."
"I was just asking out of curiosity, I’m not looking forward to an engagement party." She didn’t like such hassles!
"It’s still necessary."
"Uncle, Brother Jing Han, Brother Huai, and Brother Jin Yan are your best friends?" Lu Xingzhi originally wanted to ask why they don’t just get married directly, but decided not to.
"There’s another one, like Big Bro, he’s in the army, so we normally don’t see him. However, he might return this time." Huo Jincheng told her about himself and his close friends.
"You sure have many friends, each as good-looking and wealthy as you." Though people say birds of a feather flock together, this was too much.
Huo Jincheng looked down at her, raising an eyebrow, "The way you say it sounds a bit sour."
