"Oh! You really are like a little angel." Edmond released his suitcase and before Lu Xingzhi could react, he had already given her a big, enthusiastic hug.
Lu Xingzhi was startled, her eyes wide open, and after a few seconds, she pushed Edmond away and said, rather tactfully, "You don’t have to be so enthusiastic."
"Uncle was right, meeting a girl like an angel, it’s you." Edmond wore a light blue suit and was about the same height as Huo Jincheng.
With short brown wavy hair, a high nose bridge, deep and gentle eyes, his handsome and charming features resembled a prince stepping out of a comic book.
French men seem naturally born with a romantic aura; their compliments, particularly when they praise people, are exceptionally pleasant.
"Little Angel, let me formally introduce myself now. My name is Edmond Bernard. I am twenty-four years old, and it’s a pleasure to meet you."
"Edmond, you can speak French with me." Lu Xingzhi kept some distance from Edmond and spoke in French.
"I can actually speak your Hua Country language too." Edmond said with a smile.
Lu Xingzhi was surprised at how accurate Edmond’s pronunciation was; his language skills were exceptionally standard. "You’re amazing."
Not many foreigners reach such a level.
"It’s not that I’m amazing, actually, my grandmother is from your Hua Country. I have a Hua Country name too, Gu Nianyu." Edmond always had a charming smile, "But, don’t tell anyone I can speak the language!"
"Okay." Lu Xingzhi didn’t ask why, she wasn’t that curious.
"Because I can pretend not to know, so I can tell if someone is speaking ill of me. Haha..." Edmond’s eyes were like two blue gems, shimmering.
"You’re so sly." Lu Xingzhi had learned something too; when she goes to France again, she’ll only use English. "Can I take you to the hotel now?"
"Of course, no problem. But before that, can you take me to have some Hua Country food?"
"I’m really sorry, I’ll take you there right now."
After accompanying Edmond for a meal, she took him to the hotel that had been booked in advance.
When Huo Jincheng returned home, Ah Si said to him rather tactfully, "Sir, Madam went to pick up Bertrand’s nephew today, uh, he’s very young. Moreover, he’s very good at winning the favor of young girls. Today, in the car, Madam was amused by him several times."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jincheng’s face darkened.
He knew Bertrand, that old guy, had bad intentions. This content belongs to novel{f}ire.net
Was he purposely sending a nephew to annoy him?
"And then?" Huo Jincheng continued to ask.
"Madam had a meal with him and then came back. Uh, Edmond is tall, handsome, and charming." Seeing Huo Jincheng’s expression, Ah Si quickly added, "Of course, he can’t compare to you, Sir. He’s only as tall as you."
Huo Jincheng’s mood did not improve due to his words.
He didn’t want to hear anything more.
Sitting down next to Lu Xingzhi, "Zhi Zhi, was everything smooth with picking up Edmond today?"
"What do you think of him?" Huo Jincheng asked.
"He’s great! Tall, handsome, charming and elegant gentleman." Lu Xingzhi thought for a moment and then added, "And also very cheerful and talkative."
