CHAPTER 81: CHAPTER 81: LITTLE ZHI LIAO IS MIGHTY, AWESOME

This kind of humiliation, she thought she’d never feel again in this life.

Huo Jincheng didn’t care about Shen Xinzhu’s feelings. When it came to emotions, he was clear and straightforward, so from the start, he deliberately kept his distance from Shen Xinzhu.

He wouldn’t play coy unless the object was Lu Xingzhi.

He was indeed attracted to his little darling by her looks, but it wasn’t love at first sight. In the beginning, he just wanted to take care of her.

From the first glance, he felt that she deserved a life like this—pampered and cherished.

He brought the food to Lu Xingzhi, but the little girl didn’t eat.

"What’s wrong?" Huo Jincheng felt she clearly wanted to eat, but was holding back.

"I’ve got lipstick on." Lu Xingzhi pursed her lips. "The color will fade soon."

"If it fades, it fades. Even if it fades, you’re still the prettiest." Huo Jincheng found it amusing and unexpected that this was her reason.

"I won’t eat then." Lu Xingzhi decided to restrain herself.

"Really not eating? Aren’t you afraid of being hungry? These are all your favorites! All professionally made by a pastry chef." Huo Jincheng tempted.

"Then I’ll have a little! I just remembered, I have a lipstick in my bag." Lu Xingzhi just recalled that the makeup artist had given it to her.

"Come on, open your mouth." Huo Jincheng held a piece of pastry up to her lips.

Shen Xinzhu glanced over from afar and only saw Huo Jincheng’s doting expression but couldn’t see what dress Lu Xingzhi was wearing.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the back garden.

"Little Zhi Liao, I saw you from afar just now. If I’d known you were coming too, I would have come over with you and Brother." Helian Xi was wearing a blue mermaid dress today that beautifully accentuated her figure.

Paired with her curly short hair, it was very feminine.

"Xixi, you look beautiful today." Lu Xingzhi sincerely praised.

Usually, Helian Xi dressed casually, either in denim shorts or ripped jeans with a T-shirt, and seldom wore dresses.

Today’s grand attire was simply stunning.

"Sister-in-law, are you teasing me? In front of you, I can’t claim to be beautiful." Helian Xi looked at Lu Xingzhi, knowing tomorrow was the start of school; she had to keep a close watch for Brother.

"You have some self-awareness." Huo Jincheng said coolly.

Helian Xi: "..."

Is this really her Brother?

Why is his mouth so sharp?

Did Helian Yi possess him?

She had to retract her previous thoughts; with school starting tomorrow, there’d surely be many people pursuing Little Zhi Liao; she definitely wouldn’t tell Brother.

Even if she’s not as pretty as Little Zhi Liao, she’s still a refreshing and lovely little beauty.

Lu Xingzhi’s affectionate eyes glared at Huo Jincheng, "Xixi is a girl, how can you say that about her, she’s still your cousin!"

She didn’t realize that her gaze lacked any bite yet was utterly mesmerizing.

Huo Jincheng’s smile even seemed a little charming, "Whatever you say is right."

Helian Xi: "..."

Damn it, this difference in treatment... Am I not favored?

However, Brother’s devoted, husband-like behavior is already showing even before marriage.

Wonderful.

Perfect, Little Zhi Liao is impressive.

"Well, damn! What sin did that white lotus Shen Xinzhu commit!" Helian Xi was about to say something when she suddenly saw Shen Xinzhu in the same style and color of dress as Lu Xingzhi.
