Mr. Lu glanced at his watch, a smile tugging at his lips: "Hmm, Mrs. Lu does have good taste."
After speaking, Mr. Lu picked up another watch and helped Han Xi put it on her right wrist. His distinctly jointed fingers naturally opened Han Xi’s palm, interlocking their fingers tightly. The bracelets of the watches clashed together, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
Mr. Lu looked down at Han Xi and spoke in a clear voice: "Didn’t I tell you to buy more couple’s watches yesterday?"
Han Xi raised her head and softly complained, "But each one is so expensive."
"I’ve given you all my money, why are you still such a little miser? Didn’t you say you wanted to help me spend it all, hmm?"
"Your money was hard-earned, not blown in by the wind. Why should I heartlessly squander it, am I making you work too hard?"
Han Xi spoke with a justified tone, her little hands unconsciously hugging him.
Mr. Lu’s deep black eyes gazed affectionately at the woman in his arms. His Mrs. Lu was truly concerned for him.
"Mrs. Lu, what if I can’t spend all my money in this lifetime?"
Han Xi looked up, her eyes as clear as water: "Mr. Lu, you’re really foolish. Of course, we can’t spend it all, we need to save it for our future children."
This girl was already thinking about their future children, stirring Mr. Lu’s heart deeply.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Seeing the familiar number that she could recite backward, Han Xi’s expression instantly grew complicated, as if experiencing a moment from another lifetime.
Mr. Lu also noticed the change in Han Xi’s expression and asked worriedly: "Who is it?"
Han Xi looked up at him, dazedly replying: "My sister."
Ever since that incident, Han Siyu had disappeared. For four entire years, they hadn’t contacted each other. Now with this sudden call, Han Xi was caught off guard and flustered.
Once the call connected, Han Siyu’s heart-wrenching cries erupted from the receiver: "Xiao Xi, Chenghao is hurt. You have to come to the hospital quickly to save him. Chenghao is dying....."
Han Xi panicked, her face turning pale bit by bit: "Sis, don’t cry, I’ll head to the hospital right away."
Mr. Lu also heard Han Siyu’s words on the phone. Seeing Han Xi in a state of shock and panic, he frowned and said, "I’ll take you to the hospital now."
The two hurried downstairs and out the door. Sister Zhang, who had just come out of the kitchen, didn’t even have time to ask if they wanted breakfast before their figures disappeared behind the heavy door.
Han Xi did not expect her long-awaited reunion with Han Siyu to be under the imminent peril of Li Chenghao’s condition. Her heart was in chaos at that moment. Two hands tightly clasped together, trembling almost imperceptibly unless looked at closely.
