Hearing Lu Xingzhi call him like that, Huo Jincheng didn’t feel annoyed; instead, a feeling he couldn’t quite describe rose in his heart.
Helian Yi gave a snort of laughter, thinking Lu Xingzhi was truly daydreaming.
However, the next second, he was proven wrong.
He only heard Huo Jincheng reply, "That’s right. Go ahead and spend."
Huo Jincheng just felt that no matter what Lu Xingzhi was like, she was still his fiancée.
Absolutely not someone others could ridicule.
Even if he didn’t love her, others still couldn’t ridicule her.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhi immediately beamed with joy.
Her sweet and radiant features bloomed into a smile, like buds on a pear tree, suddenly blossoming one by one.
Even Helian Yi, who disliked her, had to admit Lu Xingzhi really looked quite pretty.
Such a realization was indeed...
"Helian Yi, why are you here again?" Huo Jincheng’s tone was very unfriendly, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain.
Helian Yi looked at him incredulously, "Third Brother, I’m your cousin! What kind of love potion did this woman give you to make you treat me ?"
"Pfft!" Lu Xingzhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
She gave Huo Jincheng a love potion?
Seeing both men looking at her, she awkwardly touched her ear, "Uncle, then I’ll go upstairs first."
"Zhi Zhi, you don’t have to avoid them. This is your home, you are the mistress here. You can stay wherever you want." Huo Jincheng said, smoothing her hair.
"Oh, then I’ll go back to my room." She preferred to stay in her room.
"Stay here and keep me company for a while!" Huo Jincheng sat down, waving Lu Xingzhi over.
Lu Xingzhi walked towards him anyway.
And sat down next to him.
"Si Wen, go wash some fruit for Madam and bring it over." Huo Jincheng told the maid in the living room.
"Third Brother, you’re being ..." Helian Yi saw Huo Jincheng’s displeased eyes and swallowed the rest of the sentence ’don’t you think this is too much’.
After all, he was his cousin.
Not a child of a stepmother.
"Why did you come over?" Huo Jincheng took a sip of coffee and once again asked Helian Yi.
"Third Brother, do you mean I can’t come here if I have no reason?" Helian Yi felt stuck; he thought that Lu Xingzhi had been here for only a few days, yet she had bewitched his cousin’s soul. She was simply an enchantress.
If Lu Xingzhi knew how Helian Yi described her, she might actually be a little pleased.
After all, throughout history, those called enchantresses have always been stunning beauties who could ruin cities and countries.
Huo Jincheng just looked at him, his gaze clearly conveying his meaning.
Helian Yi compromised, "Alright! I just came to see what you bought for Lu Xingzhi."
"It’s just some small things, is that really worth a trip? If you like Shen Xinzhu, just marry her yourself. My place is not a shelter; she can’t stay here. Plus, let her know I don’t fancy unattractive people." Huo Jincheng understood what was going on from Helian Yi’s words.
Hearing Huo Jincheng, Lu Xingzhi almost choked on a strawberry she just ate.
That was such a harsh thing to say.
That Shen Xinzhu looks quite decent; she’s not that bad.
"I only see her as an older sister." Helian Yi had to affirm this point and couldn’t help but defend Xinzi, "Moreover, Sister Xinzhi shouldn’t be spoken of so harshly by you."
