Han Xi knew she would definitely react .
Because Li Manman’s voice was really too loud, Lu Jinghan, sitting next to him, heard everything clearly, and the smile on his lips grew even wider.
Embarrassed, Han Xi buried her face directly into Lu Jinghan’s chest, not knowing what to say.
Li Manman laughed for a few seconds before getting to the point: "Xiao Xi, today I got angry and scolded Lu Jinghan in the café, calling him a big jerk. Do you think he’ll take revenge on me later?"
Thinking about Lu Jinghan’s imposing aura, Li Manman felt a bit scared.
Han Xi looked up at the man, feeling a little sorry for him being scolded, but also warmed by having friends like Li Manman and Chu Ci.
Lu Jinghan looked down at Han Xi, took the phone from her hand, and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you. You’re just looking out for Han Xi."
Li Manman almost choked on her own saliva; Lu Jinghan was actually beside her... and he heard everything word for word. How embarrassing!
"Then... then I won’t disturb you guys." Li Manman hurriedly finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Han Xi put down the phone and leaned her head on Lu Jinghan’s shoulder: "I apologize on behalf of Manman and Chu Ci. They just care too much about me, but... sorry for the trouble."
"You feel sorry for me?"
Han Xi’s gaze landed on the cat cage on the balcony, her heart tightened, she almost forgot there was a big Persian cat in Lu Jinghan’s home: "That... big cat?"
Lu Jinghan nudged Han Xi’s hair lightly with his chin, his deep eyes filled with laughter: "After you first came over to eat noodles, I sent it to Feng Yi’s to be fostered."
"So did you start having feelings for me back then?" Han Xi questioned him with a smile on her lips, tilting her head.
"Even earlier than you think."
With that, Lu Jinghan lowered his head and kissed her on the corner of her mouth...
Han Xi was already tired and asleep. Lu Jinghan carried the girl back to the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, and then returned to the living room to tidy up.
The next morning, Han Xi was woken up by Lu Jinghan, she propped herself up, got out of bed by pulling the quilt aside, but she was so weak that she nearly fell, luckily Lu Jinghan caught her in time.
"I’ll carry you to the shower. If you’re feeling weak, then don’t go to the hospital today."
