Mumbling indistinctly, "I booked it, the address has been sent to me, but I still don’t know where it is."
Huo Jincheng’s eyes were dark and unclear as he glanced at her, then at his own fingers.
"It’s okay, I’ll take you there tomorrow."
Lu Xingzhi swallowed the lamb contentedly and squinted her eyes, "Aren’t you supposed to work? I can go by myself."
"You’re more important." Huo Jincheng cut another piece of lamb for Lu Xingzhi, seeing her eat it, he asked, "Is it good?"
"Jincheng, why don’t we see you cutting some meat for us too! Oh my! Look, you’re like a servant." Qin Shihuai couldn’t stand it anymore, he had never seen such attentiveness.
"I enjoy it." Huo Jincheng ignored him and continued serving Lu Xingzhi.
"Little Zhi Liao, I’m teasing you guys, why don’t you give any reaction?" Left without getting a response from Huo Jincheng, Qin Shihuai turned his target to Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi looked up at him, "Naturally thick-skinned, selectively deaf."
"Pfft..." Qin Shihuai was taken aback but found it quite amusing. "That’s a good skill, I need to learn it. Next time my mom forces me to find a girlfriend or something, I’ll use this."
"Little Zhi Liao, school’s starting tomorrow, are you staying at school or home?" Mo Jinyan intentionally asked this, he could tell from their interaction that their relationship was still quite innocent.
"I want to stay at school." Lu Xingzhi’s confidence was noticeably lacking when she said this.
She had discussed it with Huo Jincheng, but he hadn’t agreed.
"Oh!" Mo Jinyan responded meaningfully, "Staying at home is much more convenient, after all, Jincheng owns many apartments in the city. There’s even one near your school."
"Yeah, he’s got a lot of money." Lu Xingzhi didn’t even want to calculate how much a house in the Capital City costs, let alone a school district house.
Anyway, she felt that if she didn’t have a wealthy fiancé, she might never be able to afford a house over a hundred square meters in the Capital City in her lifetime.
"Not really." Huo Jincheng replied to her.
After eating, Huo Jincheng took Lu Xingzhi back.
On the way back, Lu Xingzhi tried to persuade Huo Jincheng, "Uncle, I want to stay at school."
"Uncle..." Lu Xingzhi tugged at Huo Jincheng’s shirt sleeve, "Please agree!"
Huo Jincheng quite enjoyed Lu Xingzhi’s soft and cute voice when she acted spoiled, and her innocent, pleading little eyes were rather endearing as well.
With her , he really couldn’t bring himself to say no.
It felt as if he was outrageously guilty.
"Please?" Lu Xingzhi’s voice was soft like a little kitten, and she tugged at his hand, gently shaking it.
Huo Jincheng’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, "Isn’t it nice to stay at home? Or do you dislike me and not want to see me?"
"No." Lu Xingzhi shook her head, "I just don’t want to be special, Xixi said she’ll stay at school too."
"She’s always impulsive, her home is nearby, she’ll definitely spend weekends at home." Huo Jincheng didn’t think Helian Xi was someone who could get along well with others.
But his little girl was different, she was eye-catching, better not to be bullied by her classmates.
"Uncle... please agree!" Lu Xingzhi pouted, and her little red mouth looked like freshly picked strawberries, making one tempted to want a taste.
