Chapter 5 Underage

Chapter 5 - 5 UnderageBy now, I can already make a meal that's a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. During this time, Wei Yang came over to help her, but she refused. When she was cooking, waves of fragrance wafted into the living room, and even Huo Jincheng, who wasn't hungry, started to feel a bit empty in his stomach. "Dinner's ready, you can come and eat!" Huo Jincheng looked at the table full of dishes, didn't pick up his bowl immediately, and lowered his eyes, lost in thought. "Mr. Huo, is the food not to your taste?" Lu Xingzhi felt displeased; if he didn't like it, then he shouldn't eat it. She didn't specifically make it for them; she originally wanted to enjoy a meal herself. "No, it's not that." Huo Jincheng picked up his chopsticks, ate a piece of perch, and said, "It tastes good." He wasn't just being polite; it really did taste good. What he was thinking about was that Lu Xingzhi was just in her teens and all her family members had already passed away. She took care of herself up till now, while still going to school. It's not easy for a young girl. After the meal, the rain outside hadn't stopped. Lu Xingzhi was a bit annoyed; why wouldn't the rain stop already? The atmosphere was a bit awkward. "Are you still in high school?" Huo Jincheng asked. He didn't know much about Lu Xingzhi's situation, he just came here based on the address. He had someone investigate Lu Xingzhi's information, but it hadn't been delivered to him yet. "I just graduated this year." Lu Xingzhi held a cup and took a sip of water. "Which university did you get into?" "Jing University." "Your scores are pretty good." "They're okay!" "Lu Xingzhi, you can come with me to the Capital City. I'm just over there, and you can stay at my place." Huo Jincheng thought maybe he could first take Lu Xingzhi to Beijing, and as for other matters, they could be handled later. "No need; I plan to take a year off from school." "Why?" Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I plan to use this year to earn some more money." "Lu Xingzhi..." Huo Jincheng was about to say something more when his phone rang. Seeing that it was his grandpa calling, he gave Lu Xingzhi a glance and stepped outside to take the call. As soon as he answered, the voice on the other side boomed, "Jin Chen, have you seen Little Zhi Liao yet?" "Little Zhi Liao?" Huo Jincheng's mouth twitched, this was really familiar. "I've seen her, but she has no interest in marrying me." Although it was a bit hard to accept, it was, after all, the truth. Huo Jincheng didn't expect that the first time he actively proposed marrying someone, he would be rejected. For the first time, he had some self-doubt. "Did you even ask properly? Do you look down on Little Zhi Liao because she lives in the countryside? Let me tell you, I've set my heart on Little Zhi Liao as my granddaughter-in-law. No matter what you have to do, make sure you bring her back to marry." "Grandpa, she's not interested in your grandson." Huo Jincheng rubbed his temples, "Let's just drop it! Besides, she's still young and still in school! And she's not of legal age yet." "Drop it? If it weren't for your brother being such a playboy, I wouldn't have given you the chance. Being the chairman of such a big group, what a waste of a handsome face," Huo Qiyuan said disdainfully. Huo Jincheng: "..." Should he say thank you? "If you can't bring Little Zhi Liao back to marry, don't bother coming back to see me."
