Chapter 423: Chapter 423

"Nothing much!" Lu Xingzhi tugged at the corners of her lips, "I was just thinking, if you were an ancient emperor, you’d definitely be a tyrant."

"Well, that’s not quite it. At most, I’d just be infatuated with women." Huo Jincheng knew what Lu Xingzhi meant. He looked at Lu Xingzhi, his gaze deep, "Zhi Zhi, if I were the emperor, you’d definitely be my one and only Empress."

"So, I must be the femme fatale that people talk about." Lu Xingzhi puffed out her cheeks, but secretly, she quite enjoyed that sense of being someone others couldn’t stand, yet couldn’t get rid of.

"You have the allure for it, and I’m willing to let you bewitch me." Huo Jincheng pulled her down to sit, "I really can’t bear to let you go, but I want to support you more."

Huo Jincheng was not the kind of man in novels or TV shows who stops his beloved women from going abroad to pursue their dreams.

He believed firmly that you could have it all.

Long-distance relationships were never the barrier; it was the heart that was.

Lu Xingzhi never understood why, upon hearing the word "abroad," a couple in love must break up, and inevitably, the one who stays in the home country falls in love with someone else. Meanwhile, the one abroad always comes back to find the one in the home country.

After all, that’s how it is in TV dramas.

She didn’t understand and didn’t dare to ask.

Though, with Huo Jincheng buying her a house near the school, she couldn’t help but sigh: being rich is indeed great.

Helian Xi didn’t return to the Capital City with Gu Jin Yan until August 20th.

Once back, she came looking for Lu Xingzhi.

"Little Zhi Liao, summer vacation’s almost over, how are you still so fair?" Helian Xi compared her own skin, "Look at me, I’ve gotten so tanned."

Lu Xingzhi examined her, "You’re not that tanned. You’ve been out playing all day, while I’ve been at home all summer. Naturally, I stayed pale."

However, she did feel that Helian Xi had become a bit more womanly.

"Going out isn’t that fun, anyway." After more than a month away, Helian Xi said this to Lu Xingzhi, who just rolled her eyes at her.

If she found it that uninspiring yet stayed out for almost two months, who knows what would’ve happened if it had been fun.

"Little Zhi Liao, I heard that the birthday gift from Third Brother is a sports car, and it’s a top-grade Lamborghini. Where is it now? Take me to see it." Helian Xi was dying of curiosity; she had a love for cars.

Especially sports cars.

If possible, she even wanted to learn racing — how thrilling.

"It’s sitting idle in the garage, I can take you to see it." Lu Xingzhi wasn’t that interested in cars. Over the past few days, even though Huo Jincheng had offered to teach her to drive, she didn’t feel like going.

"Let’s go, let’s go." Helian Xi rushed to the garage and was immediately blinded by the dazzling sports car.

"Whoa! This is too cool! Little Zhi Liao, if you drove this car out, I guarantee your head-turning rate would be one hundred percent." Helian Xi stroked the car’s body, "Such beautiful lines, such a bright color! Wow..." The most update n0vels are published on N()velFire.net

"Anyone who doesn’t know would think you were choosing a pet!"

"Oh, if this were mine, it’d be a beloved pet for sure! Where are the keys? Little Zhi Liao, let me take it for a spin." Helian Xi was drooling with envy.

"I didn’t bring them, they’re in the house."

"Why didn’t you bring them!"

"You didn’t say you wanted to drive it."

Seems like she never mentioned it.

"That’s not important!" Helian Xi waved her hand, "I’ll go get the keys myself."
