His apartment is open-plan, without walls separating it—it’s really just one big room.
Except for the bathroom, which is separated by frosted glass.
However, the decor is indeed very good.
Sleek and simple, clean yet tasteful.
There’s also a super large floor-to-ceiling window.
Lu Xingzhi walked to the window, looking outside. The location of this apartment is really great; you can see the busy traffic right now.
Huo Jincheng hugged her from behind, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Zhi Zhi, do you like it here?"
"I do like it; the decor style here is fantastic. But, how are we going to sleep tonight?" Lu Xingzhi was concerned about this issue; there’s only one bed here.
Would one of us have to sleep on the sofa?
"Zhi Zhi, can we sleep together?"
He actually intended for Lu Xingzhi to stay over today—earlier, he had someone rearrange the apartment a bit.
Bought a few potted plants, and on the table, there’s a crystal vase with red roses.
"Well... um..." Lu Xingzhi suddenly got nervous, not knowing what to say, so she simply didn’t say anything.
Leaning against Huo Jincheng, she caught a whiff of tea aroma from him, which she really liked. Being hugged , she felt very comfortable.
"Zhi Zhi..." Huo Jincheng’s voice grew lower and softer, especially when speaking in her ear, full of endless affection.
Lu Xingzhi’s voice trembled, "Un... Uncle..."
"Good girl, call me by my name."
"Jin Chen..." Lu Xingzhi called Huo Jincheng’s name hesitantly, her heart racing.
There were times before when she was with Huo Jincheng that her heart raced, but it was never quite like today.
"Call me something more intimate."
"What should I call you?" Lu Xingzhi was about to cry.
"Think of one yourself." Huo Jincheng deliberately teased Lu Xingzhi.
"Darling?" Lu Xingzhi tried tentatively.
Huo Jincheng seemed satisfied and said, "I want it in a definitive tone."
"Darling," Lu Xingzhi called again.
"Mmm. Good girl. Call me by one more name." Huo Jincheng’s long eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a bottomless abyss.
"Darling," Lu Xingzhi obliged him.
"No, you can’t call me darling anymore. Try another one!" Huo Jincheng made another request.
"What should I call you then?"
"Chen." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0velFire.ɴet
"I won’t call you that. It’s too cheesy."
"Really? Then I’ll..."
Huo Jincheng’s voice was too dangerous, and without thinking, Lu Xingzhi blurted out, "Chen."
Her voice was small and a bit scared, she pushed against Huo Jincheng.
But she didn’t have much strength, and to Huo Jincheng, it was like being tickled.
He grabbed Lu Xingzhi’s hand, his dark eyes like an abyss, seemingly ready to pull her in.
Lu Xingzhi suspected Huo Jincheng might have been drinking today; what he was saying made her blush, usually he’s much more serious than this.
Today, he was very different.
She couldn’t quite tell what it was, but she didn’t dislike it.
"Zhi Zhi, I love you so much!" Huo Jincheng gazed at Lu Xingzhi with infatuation; whether her beautifully radiant face, or her alluring demeanor, deeply attracted him.
Every aspect of her brought him joy and happiness.
"Uncle, I..." Lu Xingzhi began to say something, but Huo Jincheng stopped her words with his finger.
"Zhi Zhi, don’t refuse me, okay?"
