"Let me see, I’ll have a portion of fish balls, a portion of lettuce, and a portion of tofu! Little Zhi Liao, what do you want?" Helian Xi finished ordering and handed the menu to Lu Xingzhi.
"I don’t need anything else, let’s just eat first!"
"Alright. Brother Huai, please ask your chef to hurry up, we’re starving." Helian Xi said anxiously.
"Okay, I’ll first bring you some fruit and scallion pancakes to fill you up."
After Qin Shihuai went out and gave instructions to the kitchen, he couldn’t help but call Huo Jincheng.
As soon as the call connected, he blasted, "Jin Chen, that’s not cool! You got engaged and kept it a secret, didn’t even tell us, your good buddies. If she hadn’t come to my place to eat today, I still wouldn’t know!"
Huo Jincheng was a bit surprised, as Lu Xingzhi hardly went out. How did she get there?
"Who did she go with?"
"Helian Xi?" Huo Jincheng frowned. His little fiancée was so gentle and sweet; he hoped she wouldn’t be influenced by Helian Xi.
But having Helian Xi with her was actually a good thing.
His cousin had a good nature, and since they were about the same age, they could probably have fun together!
"She’s young, so don’t bully her. Give her all the good food and put it on my tab. Oh, and she likes fish. Whatever fish dish you do best, bring it to her."
Listening to his rambling, Qin Shihuai teased, "Who are you talking about? Your cousin?"
"I’m talking about Lu Xingzhi, my fiancée. I’ll introduce you guys formally another day." Huo Jincheng meant not only Qin Shihuai, but also several other friends.
"Alright, since this old tree has finally blossomed, I’ll be sure to take great care of your fiancée." From Huo Jincheng’s few words, Qin Shihuai realized how much he valued Lu Xingzhi.
"Just don’t neglect her. She’s young and seems soft and easy to bully, so take good care of her on your turf." Huo Jincheng hadn’t expected Lu Xingzhi to follow Helian Xi out.
It seems she really likes her cousin.
"Alright, alright, I never knew you were such a nag." Qin Shihuai pouted, "Could it be that you’re serious this time? It’s not easy! So, this is what you’re into."
"What do you mean serious? Since she’s my fiancée, I’m naturally responsible for her." Huo Jincheng spoke with righteous conviction.
Qin Shihuai rolled his eyes, thinking he’d never heard of anyone being this responsible towards a fiancée before.
Oh, and a fiancée he’d only known for less than a month.
"Okay then, you go ahead and be busy."
After hanging up, Qin Shihuai instructed the kitchen once more to prepare a fish dish and bring it to Lu Xingzhi’s private room.
"Why is there so much food being brought over? Did they send it to the wrong room?" Lu Xingzhi looked at the food on the table, then at Helian Xi, and finally at the waiter who brought the dishes.
"The boss instructed this, no mistake, he meant Miss Helian’s room." The waiter explained.
"Whatever, Little Zhi Liao, just eat some first." Helian Xi handed chopsticks to Lu Xingzhi and couldn’t help but take a piece of scallion pancake herself.
Lu Xingzhi also had a piece, and tasted some other things but didn’t dare to eat too much, as she still wanted to eat fish.
When the spicy fish hot pot was brought in, her eyes lit up.
