Lu Xingzhi wasn’t aware of their conversation, nor was she interested in listening. At this moment, she just introduced Huo Jincheng to Bertrand, "Teacher, this is my fiancé, his name is Huo Jincheng."
"Oh! My God! Little Angel, how do you already have a fiancé?" Bertrand exclaimed, "I was planning to introduce you to a better match."
"Mr. Bernard, I’m sorry, but I am the most suitable match for her," Huo Jincheng replied in French as well.
Bertrand scrutinized Huo Jincheng. With his noble demeanor and gentle elegance, standing in front of him, he exuded an equally commanding presence. This was a powerful man.
Even by Western standards, he was undoubtedly a handsome man. However, Bertrand was not afraid of him at all, and even provocatively said, "That’s not for you to decide."
"Teacher, he really is the most suitable match for me." Hearing Bertrand’s words, Lu Xingzhi held onto Huo Jincheng’s hand and said with eyes clear as a spring.
"Oh! Little Angel, don’t be deceived by him. Let me tell you, the most untrustworthy thing in the world is a man. Especially a good-looking one like him." Bertrand was incredibly upset, how could his Little Angel be swept away so quickly.
"Thank you for the compliment," Huo Jincheng only heard the last part.
As for the rest, he just pretended not to hear.
"You’ve got quite thick skin," Bertrand said through gritted teeth.
He genuinely liked Lu Xingzhi, even after not seeing her for many years, and their time spent together wasn’t long, but knowing she had a fiancé felt like knowing his own daughter was in love.
This was the anger coming from a father.
"Thank you for the praise," Huo Jincheng continued to maintain his composure and gracefully accepted it with a warm smile.
"Little Angel..." Bertrand was about to say something but got interrupted.
Interrupting him was Shen Xinzhu, and so what if Lu Xingzhi was Bertrand’s student? This was Bertrand’s first time in Hua Country, and Lu Xingzhi hadn’t been abroad. Just calling him teacher didn’t necessarily mean she was his student!
"Mr. Bernard." Shen Xinzhu walked over gracefully, "I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to dinner tomorrow?"
This was Bertrand, after all, not just anyone had the chance to meet him.
She had to seize this opportunity.
She had to stand on the highest stage.
"I’m really sorry, but I’m having dinner with my Little Angel," Bertrand was in a great mood today, even though being interrupted by Shen Xinzhu made him unhappy, he maintained his composure.
"No problem, other times work too. I wonder how long you’re staying in Hua Country?" Shen Xinzhu felt humiliated because, in front of Lu Xingzhi, the two men beside her now were both ones she desired.
But why, did they both favor Lu Xingzhi so much?
She didn’t know, besides Lu Xingzhi’s face, what else made her worth liking.
"I’m sorry, this is not convenient for me to disclose." Bertrand frowned in displeasure, he wanted to ask more about his Little Angel’s situation!
"Mr. Bernard, I’m really sorry, I truly admire you and even if I can’t become your student, I would still love to treat you to a meal." Shen Xinzhu would never admit that she would lose to Lu Xingzhi.
She didn’t believe Lu Xingzhi was Bertrand’s student either.
