Amanda pretended to be heartbroken and said, "You wouldn’t deny me this small favor, would you!"
"Sorry, I’ve already booked my flight; I have to return home today." Huo Jincheng’s heart was already back at home. Having been in the United States for over ten days, he didn’t want to stay any longer.
"Do you hate me that much?" Amanda looked at him with grievance, her blue eyes full of resentment.
She had never met a man so eager to escape from her.
As if she were some venomous snake or fierce beast.
Is his fiancée really that good?
Amanda was unconvinced; she was determined to make Huo Jincheng willingly lie in her bed.
Huo Jincheng could leave, but she could also go to Hua Country.
After leaving the remaining tasks in the U.S. to the company executives who accompanied him, Huo Jincheng took the next available flight back to Hua Country.
Lu Xingzhi didn’t know that Huo Jincheng had boarded the plane. After practicing the piano all afternoon, she was invited out by Tang Tiantian.
Accompanying her shopping for a long time and having dinner, she finally went home.
That evening, she sent Huo Jincheng a WeChat message, but he didn’t reply all night, leaving Lu Xingzhi feeling a bit downhearted.
Until she went to bed, her phone remained silent.
After more than ten hours on the plane, when Huo Jincheng arrived in the Capital City, it was already two AM.
Returning home, he suppressed the impulse to see Lu Xingzhi, not wanting to disturb her sleep, and went straight to the next room.
At last, he could have a good sleep.
Unaware, Lu Xingzhi woke up the next morning not knowing that Huo Jincheng had returned home.
As she went downstairs, she saw Huo Jincheng sitting at the dining table, still a bit unresponsive.
She went back upstairs, returned to her room, opened the door again, and went downstairs.
Did she really just see Huo Jincheng?
It must have been the wrong way she opened the door—how could a man who talked with her on video yesterday appear at the dining table today.
Then, there he was again, sitting at the dining table.
Lu Xingzhi rubbed her eyes and confirmed once more. Realizing it wasn’t a dream, her eyes brightened, and she excitedly ran over to him.
Huo Jincheng was also stunned by Lu Xingzhi’s reaction. It wasn’t until she came downstairs again that he understood the series of actions.
Before Lu Xingzhi could reach him, he had already taken big steps towards her and hugged her tightly.
"I’m back." Huo Jincheng held her tightly, having missed her dearly in the mere ten days.
Now that she would study abroad, what was he to do!
Perhaps he needed to consider shifting his work focus abroad.
This way, he could see her often.
"Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back?" Lu Xingzhi was delighted yet slightly aggrieved.
If she had known earlier, she could have been happy earlier.
Could have remained happy all along.
"I wanted to see if you’d be surprised." Huo Jincheng kissed her forehead, "I missed you so much; finally I can hold you."
"I am surprised. My whole day’s mood is lifted." Lu Xingzhi embraced him back, "When did you get home?"
"Around three in the morning, I didn’t want to disturb your sleep, so I didn’t wake you." Huo Jincheng kissed her lips again, his voice magnetic and gentle, "Still as sweet."
"There are still people around! Don’t do this." Lu Xingzhi didn’t mind his kisses, just a bit embarrassed in the living room.
