As friends, they haven’t seen Qin Shihuai being generous many times, presumably for a woman.
Probably he has taken a liking to Amanda.
"Did he upset you?" Huo Jincheng was quite pleased to see Qin Shihuai taking Amanda’s attention away, but he couldn’t let his little darling be wronged.
"Not at all, he even gave me six jars of green plum wine and four jars of cherry wine!" Lu Xingzhi didn’t deliberately speak ill of Qin Shihuai. Original content can be found at novel★fire.net
"Then he must have upset you, otherwise he wouldn’t have given you ten jars of wine; he’s not usually so generous." Huo Jincheng patted her head, "What did he do?"
"He didn’t upset me, just hopes I won’t play the third wheel." Lu Xingzhi leaned on Huo Jincheng’s shoulder and said pitifully, "The first time I went, he said he’d gift me green plum wine. It’s only today that he fulfilled it, and I had to bring it back myself."
Huo Jincheng found this difficult to respond to, that time Qin Shihuai did indeed gift wine.
It’s just that she drank and forgot, and he didn’t give it to her.
Later, he treated that wine as if he had bought it himself, giving it to Lu Xingzhi little by little.
No worries, just let her remember Qin Shihuai’s shortcomings! Since she remembers it for so long, if he told his little darling the truth, she’d feel guilty.
To prevent Lu Xingzhi from feeling guilty, Huo Jincheng thought it best not to say anything.
"Next time he comes to the house, I’ll help you take revenge. I’ll make sure he doesn’t finish his meal before asking him to leave." Huo Jincheng gently patted Lu Xingzhi’s shoulder, comforting her.
"Let him finish the meal anyway!" Lu Xingzhi thought it wouldn’t be good to leave it unfinished.
Eating is such an important thing.
"I’ll listen to you."
When Huo Jincheng returned to his room, he sent a message to Qin Shihuai.
[What did you do to Zhi Zhi today? Why did I come home to find she was ignoring me? Did you bully her?]
Qin Shihuai nearly spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw this message.
Quickly replied with a message back, [This is a huge injustice.]
He wouldn’t dare bully someone from Huo Jincheng’s house; she just looks easy to bully, like a soft bun, easy to pinch.
But inside, this bun’s filling is black sesame.
Feeling this reply couldn’t prove anything, he quickly added: [Maybe you upset her yourself? Otherwise, why is she ignoring you and not complaining to you?]
Qin Shihuai naturally didn’t know that Huo Jincheng was fooling him.
Just finding a reason to make trouble.
"I’ve been working all day and just got home tonight. As soon as I arrived, the servant told me Zhi Zhi locked herself in her room. She ignored me even when I knocked on the door and called her. You must have done something? Don’t bully her just because she’s young."
Huo Jincheng didn’t want to type anymore, so he sent a voice message directly.
Who exactly is bullying whom?
With just a few words, he had given away ten jars of wine!
How much would that sell for!
"Jincheng, I really think it’s your fault. I didn’t do anything, don’t blame me." Of course, Qin Shihuai couldn’t admit it, but Little Zhi Liao wouldn’t actually be really upset, would she?
Maybe calling her away hurt her self-esteem?
Qin Shihuai felt a bit uneasy; if this were true, it wouldn’t be good.
"I really didn’t do anything." Qin Shihuai’s voice weakened as he spoke, even he wasn’t too sure.
Could it be his way of expressing things hurt her fragile heart?
