"You want me to leave?" Huo Jincheng glanced at her, her attitude was so obvious, how could he not know.
"No, it’s just that it’s a bit late."
"Are you going to sleep?"
"Oh, then I’ll stay a little longer. I suddenly find your room very comfortable." Huo Jincheng did it on purpose, thinking that dealing with someone like Lu Xingzhi required a bit of cheekiness!
"Do you dislike me a lot?" Huo Jincheng didn’t let Lu Xingzhi speak further.
"Of course not." Heaven’s honesty, she swore, there was absolutely no such thing.
What kind of logic is this, not disliking means liking?
By that calculation, she likes a lot of people.
However, by such standards, Huo Jincheng would indeed be at the top of the list.
If she were to say this, Huo Jincheng would be quite gratified; his efforts were not in vain.
Huo Jincheng only sat for a while longer before getting up to leave; before he left, he hugged Lu Xingzhi, "Be good, don’t overthink. Whatever you want, I will give you. Have a good sleep, good night!"
At that time, Lu Xingzhi still didn’t understand what Huo Jincheng meant, until half a month later when she returned from outside and saw a white piano suddenly appear in the hall.
She was completely dazzled by it.
It was even more enchanting than the one she had seen in Helian Yi’s house.
Her young heart was immediately captured.
Her feet uncontrollably carried her over, standing nearby without fully approaching.
This piano was pure white, crafted from Alaska Spruce, the finest wood for making pianos.
On the top cover, a reindeer chasing stars was inlaid with diamonds.
The reindeer was adorably innocent, especially its eyes, which were inlaid with blue diamonds.
She returned just in time; the piano had just been set up. But it wasn’t the timing Huo Jincheng wanted.
Lu Xingzhi stepped a little closer, with a vague suspicion in her heart, but afraid it was just her overthinking.
"Ma’am, this piano is what Sir said he wanted to give as a gift. The value of this piano exceeds sixty million. All the diamonds on it are real." A maid stopped her, saying she heard it from Ah Si but didn’t know who it was meant for.
In her opinion, the piano should be for Shen Xinzhu.
After all, among the women Huo Jincheng knew, only Shen Xinzhu was a pianist who loved pianos.
This maid had been recruited by Zhuo Yixiang, and after he left, she stayed on. She liked Zhuo Yixiang and blamed his leaving on Lu Xingzhi.
However, there was nothing she could do.
Lu Xingzhi sneered, looking at the young maid disdainfully, "What? You think I’ll break it? Maybe your Sir intends to give this piano to me! You’re just a servant, even if I haven’t registered with Huo Jincheng, I am still the mistress."
Did they really think that just because she’s usually easygoing, they could push her around? "To put it bluntly, I could kick you out at any time."
The maid, however, was unfazed, with a barely noticeable trace of disdain in her eyes, "Madam, I haven’t done anything wrong. You can’t just fire me like that."
"Really? Then you can leave now." Huo Jincheng walked in, his voice icy, like a glacier that had formed over thousands of years.
