Lu Xingzhi took a few seconds to react, and then said, "Oh!"
"You’ve been learning for a long time, haven’t you?"
"I suppose you could say that! I haven’t played for years, so I’m quite rusty." So now that Lu Xingzhi had a piano, she practiced often.
Even if she couldn’t stand on a big stage, she didn’t want to let her dad down.
"You’re already very good, very professional, not worse than those pianists." Luo Qingchen’s words were true, though he meant only a part of them.
"I’m still far from it."
The two chatted casually, and soon arrived at the place Luo Qingchen mentioned.
There weren’t many people here, but the environment was quite nice.
Lu Xingzhi didn’t care about the taste; in fact, she just wanted to settle the debt. She didn’t like Luo Qingchen’s type of guy; comparatively, she preferred being with Huo Jincheng.
"This is a newly opened private kitchen, not many people know about it. But the food is great," Luo Qingchen introduced to Lu Xingzhi.
"I don’t mind, as long as you like it."
Just as Lu Xingzhi said that, her phone rang.
She excused herself with Luo Qingchen and got up to take the call.
"Uncle, why are you calling me again?" You called me just at noon!
"You’re out of class now, right? Want me to take you for something delicious, shall we go?" Huo Jincheng, fearing his little darling would be taken away by someone else, thought it necessary to occupy more of her time.
"But I’m already meeting someone today," Lu Xingzhi said apologetically.
"Who are you meeting?"
"Is it the guy that Xiao Xi said you ate with?" Huo Jincheng remembered everything about Lu Xingzhi, especially when it came to the opposite sex.
"That’s right. He treated me to lunch, and now I’m paying him back," Lu Xingzhi said honestly.
Oh, his naive fiancée, does she not see that the guy isn’t actually expecting her to return the favor?
This is clearly a case of having ulterior motives.
But this silly girl doesn’t realize it.
"Where are you having the meal?" Huo Jincheng asked.
"It says ’Eco-friendly Private Kitchen’ on the sign," Lu Xingzhi looked at the sign and said.
"Got it, you have fun!"
After hanging up, Huo Jincheng got Wei Yang to find out the location of this private kitchen, got the address, and then started the car.
He drove quickly along the way, and since he was already near Lu Xingzhi’s school, he arrived at the private kitchen’s entrance in just over half an hour.
After parking the car, he walked inside and saw Lu Xingzhi having a meal with a guy.
After settling the bill at the cashier, he finally walked over slowly, and Huo Jincheng spoke softly, "Zhi Zhi."
"Why are you here?" Lu Xingzhi was surprised. They had just ended the call a little while ago!
"I came to pick you up. Are you done eating with your classmate?" Huo Jincheng smiled, affectionately patting her head, then looked over at Luo Qingchen.
Luo Qingchen felt a strong oppressive air and looked at Huo Jincheng. He seemed to have seen this man somewhere before.
"All done," Lu Xingzhi proactively took his hand, "You’re going to scare me ."
"Little Zhi Liao, who is this..." Luo Qingchen had a vague guess, yet he didn’t dare to confirm it.
"I’m Huo Jincheng, Zhi Zhi’s fiancé." Huo Jincheng held Lu Xingzhi’s hand, quite satisfied with her current behavior.
Luo Qingchen’s heart suddenly sank.
