CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 196: UNCLE IS SO GOOD AT TALKING SWEETLY

"What’s different?" Huo Jincheng’s voice was a bit hoarse, teasing, and a tad sexy.

He lazily leaned on the sofa, playing with Lu Xingzhi’s hair.

"You’re so bad like this." Lu Xingzhi, though shy, had a hint of annoyance. However, her demeanor was so enchanting that it had no intimidating effect.

"Okay, it’s me who’s bad." Huo Jincheng admitted; he indeed had a bit of a bad side with Lu Xingzhi.

But he couldn’t be blamed.

"Zhi Zhi, don’t like anyone else." She could take her time not liking him, but she absolutely couldn’t like someone else.

"I’ve already said I won’t." How many times did she have to say it!

Did she really appear so untrustworthy?

"You’re not allowed to say such things again." Lu Xingzhi said forcefully. "You have to trust me."

"Alright, alright, it’s my fault. I should trust you." Huo Jincheng affectionately ruffled her hair, making the already messy strands even messier.

Lu Xingzhi pushed his hand away, frowning, "Don’t mess with my hair. It’s like a bird’s nest now."

"How could there be such a cute bird’s nest!" Huo Jincheng was definitely good at sweet-talking.

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

Xixi was right; a man’s mouth is full of lies.

A cute bird’s nest?

How could Uncle say that with a straight face?

Even though she couldn’t see her current appearance, she was sure it wasn’t flattering.

Actually, Lu Xingzhi was mistaken.

She looked incredibly enchanting at that moment.

"I won’t like anyone else, I prefer to stay faithful. Unless you change your heart, I won’t leave you. Why is a grown man like you so insecure?" Lu Xingzhi looked at him oddly.

It was clear she was the one being bullied!

He was the one in control.

"That’s because the one in question is you." Huo Jincheng thought to himself, she truly was heartless.

"Alright! Alright! It’s all my fault." Lu Xingzhi decided to give up figuring out where she went wrong.

Anyway, admitting fault was the way to go.

As a straightforward girl, she disliked trouble.

"What’s wrong with you?" Huo Jincheng was truly amused by her.

The originally tender atmosphere lightened considerably, leaving only the urge to tease her.

Was she taking on a guy’s role? Usually, it was the guys apologizing like this.

"I don’t know, but I’m wrong anyway."

"Zhi Zhi, you’re truly adorable!" Huo Jincheng laughed heartily, squeezing her soft cheeks, "You did nothing wrong, you’re wonderful. Haha!"

Lu Xingzhi’s beautiful eyes glanced at him, "I still don’t know what you’re trying to do."

Huo Jincheng stood up and sighed. "Tidy yourself up a bit!"

Her clothes were torn and definitely needed changing.

He couldn’t wait to return to the room himself.

Not that he really wanted to go back.

And then...

Took a cold shower.

Sighed again.

His little fiancée kept teasing him over and over.

Yet she looked at him with those innocent clear eyes, unaware.

Lu Xingzhi stood before the full-length mirror, her face rosy, eyes shimmering with watery waves; she felt a bit embarrassed.

She didn’t dare to go out.

Just because she didn’t go out didn’t mean Huo Jincheng wouldn’t come in.

When he knocked on Lu Xingzhi’s door, he had already changed into a cream-colored loungewear set.

"You..." Lu Xingzhi’s shyness hadn’t faded, "Why are you here again?"

The little darling was rather alluring, sporting a face as beautiful as a fairy.
