CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 509: DO YOU WANT TO SEE? GO TAKE A SHOWER

"I’m the only ’brother’ here, unless you’re looking for me. Otherwise, no one else is allowed," Huo Jincheng added domineeringly.

"Then you should rest properly. What time is it over there now? You can’t work overtime like this anymore. You’re not allowed to bring work home every day," Lu Xingzhi threatened, "Otherwise, I really won’t talk to you anymore. And you can’t expect any more perks."

Perks?

Huo Jincheng immediately got it.

Such perks definitely couldn’t be taken away from him.

"Zhi Zhi, I want perks. So if I do well, will the perks be even better?" Huo Jincheng placed his phone upright, propped his head with one hand, and asked ambiguously.

Lu Xingzhi playfully curled her lips, "That depends on your performance. As you are now, I’m not happy. You need to make me happy."

"I thought you were very excited. That night, your voice was hoarse," Huo Jincheng recalled the night before he returned to the country without any expression.

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

This man is really improper.

"Stop talking," Lu Xingzhi scolded, giving him a playful glare through the phone’s camera.

"So, you can’t look for ’brothers.’ Zhi Zhi, don’t forget, you’re still holding onto my interest!" Huo Jincheng said.

"I won’t go looking for ’brothers,’" Lu Xingzhi obediently replied.

Huo Jincheng was finally satisfied, a bit relieved, when he heard Lu Xingzhi say, "Because usually, ’brothers’ come to me. I don’t even need to look for them myself."

Huo Jincheng: "..."

Though it’s a bit heart-wrenching, he had to admit she was right.

There are always people trying to come between them right under his nose.

"Zhi Zhi, you are mine," was all Huo Jincheng could say now.

"I know. Not that many people like me. I’m not money; I won’t be loved by everyone I meet," Lu Xingzhi always had this perception of herself, not finding herself very likable.

"That’s just your lack of awareness; you have no idea how wonderful you are," Huo Jincheng murmured softly.

Lu Xingzhi didn’t hear that part. Leaning on the sofa, she said, "Uncle, you haven’t showered yet! Go take a bath and sleep!"

"Do you want to watch?"

"Huh? Watch what?" Lu Xingzhi didn’t catch on.

"The shower. Do you want to watch me?" Huo Jincheng’s eyes were seductive, even across the screen, it was captivating.

"I’m not watching," Lu Xingzhi mumbled quietly, "It’s not like I haven’t seen it before."

She’s seen it all before.

"Really? Then that’s a bit unfortunate. I’d quite like to be watched by you," Huo Jincheng teased Lu Xingzhi.

"No need. Just go! If you miss me, send me a message."

"Alright, my dear wife," Huo Jincheng cheekily called out.

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

She’s no longer bothered about this.

Wife it is then!

Might as well get used to it in advance.

"Zhi Zhi, remember to miss me," Huo Jincheng said one last time before ending the video call.

"Mm."

"Then give me a kiss!"

Lu Xingzhi: "Smooch!"

Huo Jincheng: "..."

Does that even count?

Gritting his teeth, Huo Jincheng said, "Just wait for it."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Huo Jincheng finished dealing with the tasks at hand and went to take a bath for real.

He thought Lu Xingzhi was right.

He indeed needed to take good care of himself. Even if Lu Xingzhi wouldn’t leave him, it wouldn’t do to hear her praise other men for being handsome in front of him.
