"It really was from you; I thought it was from someone else!" Lu Xingzhi felt reassured, "I’m coming back tomorrow. You didn’t have to send it today."
"Would you like me to give it to you again when you return?" Huo Jincheng walked to the window with the phone, "I miss you."
"I only just got here yesterday, it’s only been a day. How could you miss me?" Lu Xingzhi crouched down and pointed at the Crystal Deer with a finger; it was quite cute.
"I miss you with all my heart. Let me see you." Huo Jincheng hung up the call and sent a video message to Lu Xingzhi.
"Do I look good?" was the first thing Lu Xingzhi asked when she connected the video call.
"You look beautiful." Original content can be found at novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"Now that you’ve seen enough?"
"Now that you’ve seen, I’m going to hang up the video. I’m about to head back to the hotel," Lu Xingzhi mentioned, noticing the driver was still waiting for her.
"Okay. Let’s talk when you get back to the hotel."
After ending the call, Lu Xingzhi picked up the Crystal Deer and got into the car.
When she arrived at the hotel lobby, as she got out of the car, another car also stopped. The driver respectfully opened the car door while another person placed a wheelchair at the back door.
Then she saw a man in a dark green coat, helped by the driver, sitting in the wheelchair.
Lu Xingzhi took a sharp breath.
It wasn’t because the man was in a wheelchair.
It was his striking appearance.
His face was like white jade, with peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and rosy thin lips.
His striking allure seemed to ooze from his very bones.
"Strikingly dazzling" was the perfect phrase to describe this man.
She paused briefly before entering the hotel, but the man in the wheelchair suddenly spoke up.
Lu Xingzhi stopped in her tracks, looked at him, "Do you know me?"
The man’s rosy thin lips curled slightly, "I happened to attend both of Bertrand’s piano performances, and Miss Lu’s playing was excellent. Especially today’s piece."
"Thank you!" Lu Xingzhi nodded slightly and walked into the hotel.
Fu Yanzhi watched her go inside, then had his assistant push him in as well.
He spoke lightly, "Mo Yu, what do you think of her?"
"Boss, I can’t judge. Based on what I’ve seen online, Miss Lu is beautiful, smart, and talented," Mo Yu replied.
After Lu Xingzhi returned to her room, her assistant brought her a box, saying it was a gift from Huo Jincheng.
Even before opening it, she realized she had been mistaken. The Crystal Deer wasn’t from Huo Jincheng.
No wonder Huo Jincheng had said, did you receive it?
It was all her fault for not asking clearly.
The next morning, Lu Xingzhi got up for breakfast and coincidentally ran into Fu Yanzhi at the hotel restaurant.
"Miss Lu, what a coincidence."
"Not really a coincidence. It’s quite normal to have breakfast at this time," Lu Xingzhi had no intention of getting closer.
This man gave her a sense of danger, like a poppy.
"That’s true. Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Fu Yanzhi. I noticed they all call you Little Zhi Liao, may I call you that too?" Fu Yanzhi spoke as if unaware of Lu Xingzhi’s aloofness.
"You may," Lu Xingzhi didn’t mind this at all.
"Little Zhi Liao seems to have some hostility towards me. Is it because of my legs?" Fu Yanzhi maintained a smile, but there was a hint of wickedness in his eyes.
