How did she end up following him upstairs when everything he said was so straightforward? "Since we’re already here, let’s read for a bit before going down!" Huo Jincheng held her hand, unwilling to let go. He just liked being with her, even if they did nothing at all. That would make him happy too. "Alright, let’s read then!" Lu Xingzhi could not avoid it, so she decided to accept it! She had always been . Just like when Huo Jincheng wanted to bring her to the Capital City, she hadn’t wanted to. But, unable to avoid it, she ended up coming along. Once inside the study, Huo Jincheng casually closed the door. "Zhi Zhi, it’s just the two of us now." "Then you can start." Lu Xingzhi: "Can’t you be a bit less blunt?" "What did I say?" Huo Jincheng feigned innocence. Lu Xingzhi said with a playful reproach, "Aren’t you asking me to kiss you?" "So that’s what you were thinking! Zhi Zhi, I meant for you to read a book, but since that’s what’s in your heart, I’ll reluctantly accept it!" Huo Jincheng sat on the sofa, smiling at Lu Xingzhi. "You don’t have to accept it." Lu Xingzhi pronounced her words strongly, "Don’t force yourself." "As long as it’s you, I’m willing." Huo Jincheng walked over, scooped Lu Xingzhi into his arms, and placed her on the sofa. And he himself leaned over the sofa. "Since you’re not taking the initiative, I’ll do it then." "Zhi Zhi, you’re not allowed to be too nice to Xiaxia. I’ll get jealous." Huo Jincheng said very directly. Because he liked her so much, his possessiveness towards her grew stronger. Even though Xiaxia was his nephew, even though Xiaxia was so young. Whenever she smiled brightly or was nice to someone else, he felt a slight discomfort. But, he also knew how to let go. Just like, even though he didn’t want too many people to see her beauty, he still wanted to send her onto a big stage with his own hands because he knew that was where Lu Xingzhi belonged. "You’re really childish." Lu Xingzhi couldn’t help but tease, "You’re already at this age, why are you still bickering with kids." He was only twenty-seven this year, and not even fully twenty-seven yet. By calculation, he was not even nine years older than her. Men under thirty are still very young, but, compared to Lu Xingzhi... Just a tiny bit older. "I was planning to let it go, Zhi Zhi, are you disliking my age?" Huo Jincheng’s voice was still deep, with a slight smile, but his tone carried a hint of threat. "I’m not. I actually like older ones." Lu Xingzhi sensed the danger from Huo Jincheng and quickly said. "Is it just the age?" "No, I just like you. So no matter how old you get, I will still like it." Lu Xingzhi immediately hugged Huo Jincheng and offered her own. This was the smart thing to do. There’s nothing a kiss can’t solve. If there is, then two. If there still is, then several more. "My Zhi Zhi knows how to take the initiative, I like it very much." Huo Jincheng said in a hushed tone. "I know you like it." Otherwise, I wouldn’t do this. Lu Xingzhi added silently in her heart. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⟡fire.net "Then I like other things, will Zhi Zhi give them to me too?" Huo Jincheng set a trap for Lu Xingzhi, speaking ambiguously and with deep meaning. "That depends on whether I can give them. Don’t you like me the most? I am already yours." Lu Xingzhi wasn’t foolish. Just because Huo Jincheng’s voice was charming, she wouldn’t jump in blindly.
