CHAPTER 498: CHAPTER 498: UNCLE, SORRY TO TROUBLE YOU

Before Huo Jincheng could reply, Lu Xingzhi quickly typed another line, [If you haven’t tasted this flavor, you might only dream about it. But once you’ve tasted it, I’m sure you’ll think about it every day.]

Huo Jincheng had just typed a few words when he saw Lu Xingzhi’s message again.

Honestly, he wanted to grab her and give her a piece of his mind.

[Zhi Zhi, we’ll settle this score later.] Huo Jincheng could only threaten like this.

Lu Xingzhi: [Okay! Remember it well, and settle it as you see fit when the time comes.]

Huo Jincheng looked at Lu Xingzhi’s message and smiled; she really was teasing him since he was about to leave.

No time to meet for now.

Huo Jincheng: [Zhi Zhi, there’ll be a chance. But next time, if you plead like yesterday, I won’t be so soft-hearted.]

Lu Xingzhi was even more unrestrained, [Uncle, you’re at your most vigorous age. Be careful. And take care.]

It’s just sending messages!

Why should she be afraid?

Lu Xingzhi didn’t know she’d eventually pay the price for teasing like this.

Yet she added even more daringly, [Uncle, you got it wrong. Let me return the favor - Thank you for your hard work last night.]

Huo Jincheng: "..."

Zhi Zhi, you’ll pay the price for what you said today.

He hadn’t sent this to Lu Xingzhi, but it sat quietly in his mind.

This score must be settled.

Remembering it is just right; he won’t forget.

He sent Lu Xingzhi a message: [Zhi Zhi, take care of yourself.]

Lu Xingzhi: [I will.]

After putting down her phone, Lu Xingzhi went back to her room to sleep.

But not long after, her phone rang.

It was a call from Edmond.

"Lu Lu, is Olston heading back today? So how about tonight? Let’s have dinner together!" Edmond had been giving Lu Xingzhi and Huo Jincheng all his time these past few days, avoiding interrupting them.

And he didn’t want to feel like third-wheeling.

"Sure!" Lu Xingzhi answered, then thought to herself, it felt a bit like... how should she put it?

It’s like when your husband goes away, you text your lover to tell him you’re free tonight.

A bit cheeky!

Boyfriend, fiancé just left, and she had plans right away.

As if she never lacked for company.

Hmm, why does she have that illusion?

At six in the afternoon, Edmond turned up at the lobby of Lu Xingzhi’s hotel, sitting downstairs waiting for her.

"Edmond, how long have you been here?" Lu Xingzhi spotted him as soon as she stepped out of the elevator; she also saw a young woman talking with him nearby.

After all, given her foreigner’s taste, Edmond was indeed very handsome.

He probably fit the aesthetics of most people internationally.

So it’s normal for girls to approach him.

Edmond stood up, "Just arrived, can we leave now?"

"We can."

Sitting in the car, Edmond asked her, "Lu Lu, do you want Hua Country cuisine?"

"Wasn’t the plan to have French food? It’s fine; I’ve been eating Hua Country cuisine these days, a change of taste would be good." Lu Xingzhi said.

"Okay, I’ll take you to a place with authentic flavors."

Once seated and food ordered in the restaurant, Edmond said to her, "Lu Lu, you can always look for me if you need anything. Olston’s gone home, you can treat me as an older brother. Uncle instructed me so."
