Chapter 734: Chapter 731
But how could Wen Xian believe that? Regardless, she quickly made her way to the gate, only to see someone standing a few meters from the gate, leaning against the wall, in the alleyway.
She exclaimed in surprise.
Huo Qi, who followed her, “…”
His expression suddenly became complex and subtle.
Wen Xian hurried out and said with a smile:
“Professor, who did you come with? Did you come by yourself?”
As soon as Xiao Yixing saw her coming out, he nonchalantly extinguished his cigarette, and upon hearing her question, he instinctively glanced behind her.
There stood Huo Qi at the door, along with Lu Xiao, who was slightly frowning.
He glanced at Huo Qi, swept over him indifferently, then retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, “Yes, I came by myself.”
Huo Qi, not far away, heard this and thought, “…”
His handsome, peach-blossom eyes shimmered slightly, a complex hue fleeting by.
Somehow, there was an inexplicable taste of dissatisfaction in his heart.
He lowered his head, his gaze downcast, inscrutable in that moment.
Wen Xian was still speaking to Xiao Yixing, but Huo Qi could no longer hear them. However, just as Xiao Yixing was about to stay where he was and decline to come in, Huo Qi suddenly stepped forward.
Huo Qi walked past Wen Xian and quickly approached, seizing his wrist in one swift move, and with a light chuckle, said to him:
“Hey, what are you doing? Didn’t we come here together? How can you not admit it?”
At these words, Xiao Yixing froze.
He just stared at him, his cool eyes unblinking.
But then, Huo Qi turned around, looked towards Wen Xian, and gave a frank smile, saying:
“I was just joking with you guys. I did come with the professor, after all, as a member of your maternal family, I definitely need to come and cheer you up before your wedding.”
Wen Xian’s eyes flickered slightly, and she bit her lip lightly, looking at the two men, tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile, “I’m immensely honored.”
Some things don’t need to be said; they both understand.
Afterwards, the two men entered the Lu Family home together, sat down to rest, and Lu’s mother, upon seeing these two handsome young men, was overjoyed. After all, with her age came the inevitable questioning about this and that.
The first thing she asked was: “Oh my, you young men are so handsome, both young and successful, so outstanding. What about it, do you have partners? Should aunty set you up with someone?”
As soon as this question was asked, before they could respond, Lu Xiao was already feeling overwhelmed.
He lightly held his forehead, helplessly saying, “Mom, why do you meddle so much in people’s private matters?”
Wen Xian was worried they might feel awkward, especially since the professor hadn’t said anything yet, but he instinctively glanced at Huo Qi.
Huo Qi’s lips held a faint smile as he looked up, his gaze meeting another’s cold one for an instant, then he turned to Lu’s mother with a smile and said:
“Thanks for the kindness, Aunty, but we both have other halves already.”
With that statement, Lu’s mother laughed and said:
“That’s great, that’s great. Finding a partner is simple yet complicated, but regardless, you must find someone you like, someone you fancy, to live a happy and sweet life.”
She said this while looking at her son and daughter-in-law.
The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. The young couple was loving and happy; adding a pair of little children would leave her with no regrets in life.
Lu Xiao had booked a restaurant beforehand in order to invite all his friends for a meal.
