The Helian Family didn’t stay long before leaving.
"Uncle, thank you." Lu Xingzhi knew very well that everything Huo Jincheng did was to help her find her footing in the Huo Family.
"It’s what I should do. We don’t need to be so formal with each other." After all, they were going to spend a lifetime together.
Huo Jincheng went to get some medicine to apply to her face once more. Her face was smaller than the palm of his hand; how could it be so small?
Lu Xingzhi: "It’s what I should do."
It’s what I should do?
Huo Jincheng didn’t stay home with Lu Xingzhi all the time; in the afternoon, he went to the company.
But he also arranged many things.
Originally, he planned to introduce Lu Xingzhi a little later. However, after these few days, he felt it necessary to let people know sooner that she was his.
Before he could do anything, the youngest daughter of the Lan Family was about to have her coming-of-age ceremony.
Huo Jincheng usually wasn’t interested in such parties, but this time, he smirked; it aligned perfectly with his intentions.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to hold an engagement party first, but these things required preparation, and he didn’t want to make it too rushed.
Two days later, Lu Xingzhi’s face was as clear and smooth as before.
So she and Helian Xi went to watch Huo Jinyan’s movie.
Lu Xingzhi couldn’t help but marvel that Huo Jinyan truly deserved his title as an award-winning actor; his acting was genuinely good. It didn’t distract people at all.
Huo Jincheng didn’t know they went to see the movie. Since he didn’t have to go to the company on Saturday, he thought, with Huo Jinyan’s movie being released, as a brother, he ought to contribute to the box office.
He planned to take Lu Xingzhi on the premiere day, but then those incidents happened.
Just as he mentioned it to Lu Xingzhi, he received such a response.
"Go watch Jin Yan’s movie? I already saw it with Xixi yesterday. She invited me when it was released two days ago, but we canceled because Helian Yi suddenly visited."
Seeing Huo Jincheng’s slightly displeased look, Lu Xingzhi said, "Uncle, do you want to watch the movie? If you want, I can go with you."
Huo Jincheng wasn’t upset with Lu Xingzhi but found Helian Xi a bit annoying; such a movie thing didn’t require her involvement.
"If you’ve already seen it, let it be." He didn’t really want to watch the movie; he just wanted to accompany Lu Xingzhi.
It could also count as a date in a different sense.
"Jin Yan’s acting is fantastic, and the plot is great. I can watch it again."
Looking into her eyes, as clear as spring water, with slightly upturned corners, there was even a hint of allure.
These eyes were very contradictory, yet enchanting.
Being stared at like that made Huo Jincheng somewhat uneasy.
Then, he reached out his hand and covered Lu Xingzhi’s eyes.
Lu Xingzhi couldn’t understand why Huo Jincheng did this; her eyes blinked, and her long, thick lashes brushed his palm like a brush, tickling him.
His palm felt ticklish.
His heart, too, felt a bit itchy.
"Uncle?" After more than ten seconds, Lu Xingzhi could no longer hold back.
With her eyes covered, her vision easily fell on her red lips.
Suddenly, he thought of that night when Lu Xingzhi was drunk, and he had kissed those tender lips.
They were as soft as cotton candy.
Huo Jincheng released his hand and looked away.
"Is there anywhere you want to go today?"
"I want to eat roast duck. I have been in the Capital City for so long and haven’t tried it yet!" Lu Xingzhi had only heard about how delicious the roast duck in the Capital City was and never had the chance to try it.
