Chapter 64: Chapter 64: We Are Family

"Uncle, I can do it myself." Lu Xingzhi wanted to take the silk from his hand, but Huo Jincheng stopped her.

"Don’t move."

Lu Xingzhi dared not move.

After wiping Lu Xingzhi’s face clean, Huo Jincheng let go of her, looking at her with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lu Xingzhi tried to take the handkerchief from him, "Uncle, let me wash the handkerchief for you!"

"No need." Huo Jincheng did not give it to her.

"But, it’s all dirty because of me."

"It’s just a handkerchief, if it’s dirty, I’ll throw it away."

"My face really isn’t dirty, it’s a pity to throw it away." These thousands of little handkerchiefs, it’d be a shame to toss one. "But, you’re rich, it’s nothing to lose one. I’ve used it, so it’s not appropriate for you to use it again."

"Lu Xingzhi, I may only be your fiancé now, but in the future, I will be your husband. You need to be clear about that." Huo Jincheng was angered, Lu Xingzhi seemed obedient but was actually guarded with thorns.

She wouldn’t allow anyone to come close.

"I know that!" But what does that have to do with a handkerchief?

"You... forget it!" Huo Jincheng opened his mouth but then stopped, deciding to give her a bit more time to adjust!

Lu Xingzhi touched her ear, "Uncle, you didn’t come just to wipe my tears, did you?"

"What do you think?"

Lu Xingzhi pursed her lips, "You wouldn’t have come to comfort me, right? I don’t need that, I’m not that fragile."

"Heh..." His cold voice sounded like the low hum of a guqin, tinged with a hint of mockery.

He watched Lu Xingzhi seal herself off completely, as if no one from the outside could enter her heart, like a wounded little wolf cub licking its wounds alone, wary of anyone who came near.

He couldn’t help but step in, wanting to embrace her, proved he was right.

She still wasn’t completely dependent on him.

Lu Xingzhi touched her nose, sitting awkwardly on the sofa; it seemed she had made Huo Jincheng angry.

She cautiously asked, "Uncle, are you mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad at you?" Huo Jincheng questioned her.

"I... I don’t know either."

Huo Jincheng walked over and embraced her, "Zhi Zhi, I want to tell you, you can talk to me about anything. From the day you moved in, we’re a family now. You can try to rely on me, don’t reject me, okay?"

In the business world, Huo Jincheng could change the landscape with ease and handle anything confidently.

Yet, when it came to the much younger Lu Xingzhi, he was powerless.

The young girl hadn’t come around yet.

"I’ll slowly adapt. So, could you let me go now?" Just talking, why does he always like to hug her.

"You!" Huo Jincheng was truly amused.

This brain of hers seems only good for intelligence!

"Uncle, when do you plan to rest?" Seeing Huo Jincheng had been sitting with her on this sofa for a long time, Lu Xingzhi couldn’t help but ask.

She couldn’t directly ask him to leave, nor could she continue with her own affairs, considering that the entire place belonged to Huo Jincheng.

He could go wherever he wanted.

"I’m resting right now." Huo Jincheng’s lips curved into a wicked smile, as he shifted into a more comfortable position.

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

Then could you go rest in your own room?

Though she didn’t say it out loud, her gaze completely gave away her thoughts.
