Chapter 20: Should be nice to her
“Okay!” He Lianyi gave Lu Xingzhi another grim look.
Lu Xingzhi: “…”
She"s quite innocent, alright.
“I"m going back to my room.” Lu Xingzhi looked askance at Huo Jinchen.
Huo Jinchen nodded: “Go on! I"ll call you for dinner later.”
Lu Xingzhi stood up, but before leaving, she picked the bowl of strawberries: “I"ll take this to eat.”
“If you like it, I"ll ask people to buy more. Don"t eat more of this, let someone bring you another plate of cherries.” Huo Jinchen is thinking of storing more fruits at home.
“Okay.”
“Third brother, why are you so good to her?” He Lianyi couldn"t stand it anymore, is this really his third brother?
Although he"s always been modest and polite to others, this Lu Xingzhi is obviously being pampered.
“She is my fiancee, shouldn"t I be good to her?” Huo Jinchen retorted.
“Don"t tell me except your fiancee, you won"t be good to others?” He Lianyi thinks that if this were the case, he should have asked her aunt to draw up another engagement contract.
“What right do you have asking these questions?” Huo Jinchen"s lips formed a thin line with not a hint of warmth.
“I…” He Lianyi couldn"t utter a single word. He"s thinking, Lu Xingzhi must have been aware of his appet.i.te.
“I"m going upstairs. You"re on your own.” Huo Jinchen stood up. The maid has done a good job washing a plate of cherries and he"s planning on taking it up himself.
Before he could reach Lu Xingzhi"s room, he heard a light tune.
“I have a donkey, I never ride it. One day, I was seized by a whim. Ride it to the market, I have a small whip in hand. I am enjoying the ride….”
Through a crack on the door, he could make out a figure dancing and twirling.
The image of a young girl, full of vitality.
Huo Jinchen grinned. Sure enough, she"s still a child.
Anyway, this is much better.
Sensing the presence of someone outside, Lu Xingzhi came out and saw Huo Jinchen.
“Uncle?” Lu Xingzhi"s cheeks reddened at the thought Huo Jinchen witnessing everything she has just done.
“Here are cherries.”
“Thank you.”
“Rest well.”He returned to his room without saying anything.
Lu Xingzhi is feeling blissful today, buying a lot of beautiful clothes, and shoes, as well as bags.
Although the cost distressed her so, she"s still genuinely happy.
In her younger years, she"s never bought so much at one time.
Sitting in the room, watching the TV and eating fruit, this feeling is surreal, but it is really great.
It"s just that, suddenly not worrying about earning money to fund her studies and support her own living expenses, she"s still not used to it.
After dinner in the evening, Huo Jinchen told Lu Xingzhi: “My parents are back, I have to older brothers and a younger brother. Tomorrow, we"ll go back to the old house and have dinner together!”
“Your parents?”
Huo Jinchen"s heart softened: “Don"t worry, it"s just them. After all, they should meet you. Later, you"ll see more relatives in our family.”
“I"m not worried.” She merely finds it difficult to adapt, nothing more.
If his parents don"t like her, it is nothing more than a dissolution of the marriage contract.
“That"s good.”
