"That’s right, you need to hide and eat it in secret." Huo Jincheng’s eyes grew even deeper, "Close your eyes, I’ll be gentle."
Those big, clear eyes looked at him, and he really couldn’t bring himself to do it, feeling like a beast.
Lu Xingzhi obediently closed her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes fluttering slightly.
Huo Jincheng wrapped one arm around her waist, and the other hand held her head, then he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
A brief taste and he stopped.
He didn’t intend to do this initially, but the little mushroom was just too alluring.
This fresh, delicious little mushroom spirit came down the mountain to cause havoc; he might as well keep her close.
After a long time without any reaction from Lu Xingzhi, Huo Jincheng realized she had actually fallen asleep.
"Haha..." He chuckled helplessly, picked her up, and placed her back on the bed.
He called in a maid to wipe her down and change her into pajamas.
Back in his room, Huo Jincheng touched his lips, which still seemed to carry warmth.
He wondered whether she would remember what happened tonight when tomorrow came.
He was somewhat looking forward to it.
After a good night’s sleep, Lu Xingzhi had no memory of what happened last night when she woke up in the morning.
She went downstairs for breakfast and found that Huo Jincheng hadn’t gone to the office yet.
"Morning, did you sleep well?" Huo Jincheng greeted Lu Xingzhi with a smile.
Lu Xingzhi nodded, "Uncle, how come you haven’t gone to the office today?"
"No rush." Huo Jincheng was observing Lu Xingzhi’s reactions to see if she remembered anything from yesterday.
Lu Xingzhi sat down, took a sip of milk, and asked, "Uncle, how did I get back yesterday? I don’t remember anything."
"I drove you back, of course. You really don’t remember anything?" Huo Jincheng couldn’t tell if he was disappointed or regretful.
Perhaps there was more regret.
If he’d known she’d forget, he should have kissed her more last night.
"I don’t remember," Lu Xingzhi shook her head, puffing out her cheeks, "I should stop drinking."
Huo Jincheng paused, lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and said, "It’s fine to drink a little. Does your head hurt?"
"No. I just don’t remember anything." Then Lu Xingzhi realized she had changed clothes, "Uncle, about the pajamas I’m wearing..."
"Who do you think changed them for you?" Huo Jincheng leaned back, adopting a lazy posture, looking amused.
"It shouldn’t be you." Lu Xingzhi thought Huo Jincheng was refined and noble, certainly not the type to take advantage.
"What if it was?" Huo Jincheng asked.
"Since you’re saying so, it definitely wasn’t you," Lu Xingzhi stated confidently.
"It wasn’t me indeed, Yang Fang helped you change." Huo Jincheng stopped teasing her; it’s hard to fool her when she’s sober.
"Oh!" After finishing breakfast, she decided to take another shower.
They had breakfast together, and then Huo Jincheng went to the office.
Lu Xingzhi returned to her room to take a shower, changed her clothes, and Helian Xi arrived just on time.
"Little Zhi Liao." Helian Xi was not only captivated by Lu Xingzhi’s beauty but also admired her even more.
To think her third brother, such a refined and noble man, was also taken by Little Zhi Liao.
"Xixi, have you had breakfast?" Lu Xingzhi asked as she walked downstairs.
