Chapter 44: Good, Come Up Quickly

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Good, Come Up QuicklyQin Shihuai already knows very clearly that he’s quite unpopular. After he left, Huo Jincheng’s gaze returned to Lu Xingzhi, and he could clearly see the words "not happy" written across her fair little face. She’s really just a child. "You can only have half a cup." Huo Jincheng picked up the bottle and poured half a cup for Lu Xingzhi. Lu Xingzhi’s spirited eyes curved, the bright expression fully revealing her mood. She held the cup, took a small sip first. Then, drank it all in one go. It’s just a bit of alcohol, Huo Jincheng naturally wasn’t stingy; if she likes it, he’ll gladly buy better ones for her. He’s genuinely worried she’ll get drunk. Seeing Lu Xingzhi gazing at him with shining eyes again, Huo Jincheng coughed awkwardly and averted his gaze. He truly couldn’t stand her innocent gaze, inexplicably feeling a sense of guilt. "No more drinking." Lu Xingzhi knew she couldn’t eat more, so she kept stuffing food into her mouth, puffing out like a little hamster. "Angry?" Huo Jincheng raised a brow, looking at Lu Xingzhi with a tender gaze. "No." The answer came quickly, clearly not true. Huo Jincheng picked up a dish for her, "No more drinking today but you can take some home, drink slowly there." "Okay." Even though Lu Xingzhi only uttered one word, Huo Jincheng could clearly sense her mood improving. In his deep eyes, there was some helplessness and a little indulgence. If he hadn’t just peeled prawns, he would’ve pinched her little face. Huo Jincheng didn’t eat much, he was mainly taking care of Lu Xingzhi’s meal. Once she finished eating, they sat together for a while. When it was time to leave, Lu Xingzhi started feeling dizzy and grabbed Huo Jincheng’s hand, "Uncle, am I drunk? I feel dizzy." Huo Jincheng crouched down, "Come on, I’ll carry you." "I can walk." She was just dizzy, not injuring her legs. "Be good, hurry up. Or do you want me to carry you like a princess?" Huo Jincheng whispered playfully in her ear before crouching down again. Lu Xingzhi obediently climbed onto his back, carrying her like a princess was too intimate and embarrassing. Halfway through, Qin Shihuai, the boss, appeared again. "Tsk tsk... What am I seeing? I can’t take it, my eyes hurt," Qin Shihuai covered his eyes, Huo Jincheng must be moved emotionally now! "Want me to introduce a doctor for that?" Huo Jincheng countered. Qin Shihuai: "..." "Pack some of your plum wine in a few bottles and put them in the car." Huo Jincheng said as he carried Lu Xingzhi away. At the car, when he wanted to set Lu Xingzhi down, he realized she had fallen asleep. Carefully set her down, fastened the seatbelt, and adjusted the seat to the most comfortable position for her. Once Qin Shihuai’s people brought the wine over, he started the car.

Lu Xingzhi groggily opened her eyes, blankly looking at Huo Jincheng, seemingly not understanding the situation. "Awake?" Huo Jincheng’s voice was unbelievably gentle. Just as he carried her out of the car, she opened her eyes. Lu Xingzhi reached out to touch Huo Jincheng’s face, "Who are you? How come you’re so good-looking? Are you a deity?" Huo Jincheng burst into laughter, she was truly drunk.
