When Chen Xihua came out with the medicated oil, she hesitated for a moment before handing it directly to Lu Zhengjing, saying, "Apply it yourself."
I thought he would say something, but Lu Zhengjing didn't.
He reached out and took it naturally, then poured some out into his palm and casually smeared it on the painful areas of his face.
"I'm fine, this injury is nothing!"
It was enough to show weakness at the right time; going too far would seem deliberate.
The two haven't reached that point yet, and they want the other to feel sorry for them.
Indeed, they hadn't arrived yet. Chen Xihua crossed her arms, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him leisurely. "Seventh Master Lu, are you still going to see a movie later?"
Her gaze swept over the bruises on his face again, and surprisingly, they didn't make him look uglier; instead, they added a touch of wildness.
Lu Zhengjing raised an eyebrow and looked up at her: "Go, why don't you go?"
"The injuries on your face clearly show you've been beaten up!" Don't be afraid of being laughed at!
"So? Oh, I see."
Xi Hua, are you worried that if others see the injuries on my face, they will suspect that you have abused me?
That's really bad; it's not good for your reputation!
"Then let's not go to the movies. We'll go after my face heals!"
He muttered to himself, then seemed to suddenly remember something, as if he were thinking of her.
Chen Xihua was stunned and speechless: "What do you mean I abused you? What does that have to do with my reputation?"
Lu Zhengjing said in a serious tone, "I'm afraid of my wife, so I'll listen to her!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" she blurted out. After a pause, Chen Xihua looked at him with a half-smile. This man seized the opportunity to speak.
"I was wrong." Lu Zhengjing lowered his eyes and immediately apologized.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the corners of his mouth are turned up.
She wasn't averse to the idea that domestic violence required a marriage; he treated her like an old married couple having casual conversations.
She is more vibrant and lively in this way. She doesn't need to be calm, composed, mature, or steady. She is only nineteen years old. She should be unrestrained, playful, and prone to anger and scolding!
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Lu Zhengjing casually straightened his shirt, which was a little wrinkled. During their sparring session, Chen Jinhua had tried to throw him to the ground, but he managed to avoid it.
He looked down again, and thankfully it wasn't too dirty, then said seriously:
"Xi Hua, we're not going to the mall today. Later, we'll go to Wei Xuan Yuan for dinner, and then go see a movie. I'll wear a mask then."
At this moment, Lu Zhengjing looked at Chen Xihua with anticipation in his eyes.
He didn't want his first date to be ruined so easily by Chen's second sister, that domineering woman.
Otherwise, in the future, every time he wants to make an appointment, Chen Jinhua or the other Chen sisters might pull some kind of stunt.
Chen Xihua had recovered, her face calm and composed. She casually agreed with him, saying, "Yes, I'm fine with anything."
She then noticed that despite the intense fight between the two, the man was quite clean and tidy, except for the somewhat conspicuous injuries on his face.
Lu Zhengjing smiled with pleasure upon receiving the reply.
On the other side, Chen Xiuhua and Ning Wenfeng were chatting and laughing. Chen Meihua went back to the backyard, and Xiao Yuanyuan woke up.
In front of the main room and in the courtyard, Huo Kai kept talking to Old Man Qin, but he was only half-hearted and seemed a little absent-minded.
In particular, he was extremely envious when he saw Xiao Wu and Master Lu.
After changing his clothes, Chen Jinhua looked at Huo Kai and asked bluntly, "Young Master Huo, why are you still here?"
Didn't she say she was busy today? She has a mission tonight, and the lead has reached a critical point. She can't spare the time to watch a movie with him.
If he is a lazy, clingy, and troublesome young master, then she should seriously consider whether she should give it a try.
Huo Kai, whose eyes had been following Chen Jinhua ever since she left, seemed to have read her mind. He panicked, worried that she might regret her decision, and hurriedly explained.
"Jinhua, you go about your business. I'm free today, so I'll keep Professor Qin company. My dad likes his calligraphy."
Starting tomorrow, I'll be busy too. My dad has handed over most of the Huo family company's affairs to me.
He is a decent person with a job to do. The Huo family is wealthy, but he is not a playboy.
I can't let her leave a bad impression on me.
Chen Jinhua didn't think much of it. Hearing him say that, she felt relieved. "Okay, you two can chat. Teacher Qin, I'll go out first."
"Alright!" Old Qin, standing to the side, first shook his head and smiled helplessly.
After Chen Jinhua walked away, he said seriously to Huo Kai, "Young man of the Huo family, Jinhua has a straightforward personality. She doesn't beat around the bush and says what she means."
Also, she's a soldier, and due to her work, she can't be home often. Since you're interested in her, I hope you can accept everything about her.
Otherwise, since you two haven't officially started dating yet, let's just leave it at that.
With the Huo family's resources, finding a wife who satisfies you in every way would be easy.
"No, no, Professor Qin, I love her, she's perfect!"
Huo Kai was getting anxious again. He was extremely frustrated; it was just too difficult.
Just as Chen Jinhua was about to give up, Professor Qin now wants to persuade him to let go.
He wants to be in a relationship with her, but why is it so difficult!
That's right. At first, he really didn't have any feelings for Chen Jinhua. She was just a savior. He hadn't even seen her face.
But after seeing her a couple more times, her cheerfulness and heroic spirit gradually remained in his mind.
Also, because Jiang Sisi had bothered him, Huo Kai was not interested in those arrogant, pretentious, or clingy rich girls in Beijing.
Someone like Chen Jinhua is exactly what he wants.
At first, he felt somewhat helpless when his mother told him that "a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body."
Now, he was actually secretly pleased, feeling that he had the upper hand.
In particular, seeing Master Lu's appearance today, and knowing that he actually likes Xiao Wu and is pursuing her, gave Huo Kai even more confidence.
Huo Kai knew about the conflict between the Lu and Shen families and the Chen family back then, which led to the spread of many rumors.
If you're shameless enough, there's no one you can't win over.
At that time, Xiao Wu also asked me about the Seventh Master of the Lu family.
Remembering what he had said back then—that Master Lu might be impotent in that area, and all sorts of bad things said about him—Huo Kai suddenly had a bad feeling.
Will Master Lu come after me later?
However, he wasn't afraid. It seemed that even if Master Lu Qi couldn't beat his Jin Hua, Xiao Wu was still his good brother.
Unexpectedly, the seventh master of the Lu family, the "crown prince" among the young masters of Beijing, was brought down by the fifth young master.
Later, when they become brothers-in-law, Master Lu will have to call him Second Brother-in-Law.
Just thinking about it made Huo Kai happy and refreshed.
Xiao Wu is indeed Huo Kai's brother, he's really awesome. He's going to show off to his friends again.
In the evening, I invited them out for dinner and a get-together.
My younger brother was kidnapped a while ago, and the Huo family was almost thrown into chaos. They helped with the search, so I should treat them to a meal to thank them.
As if sensing something, Lu Zhengjing's deep eyes suddenly turned to Huo Kai. This kid was up to no good!
"Xi Hua, is the young master of the Huo family pursuing your second sister? Shouldn't we have a friendly spar first? If you don't want to fight, I can do it for you."
Lu Zhengjing already considers himself a member of the Chen family.
"That depends on whether Young Master Huo accepts it or not." Chen Xihua chuckled, her lips twitching uncontrollably.
Indeed, it is also a test for Huo Kai, to see if he dares to do it.
After all, he wanted to pursue the second sister. If he didn't even have this much courage, the second sister probably wouldn't like him.
Lu Zhengjing is really wicked; he wants others to get wet in the rain too.
Upon hearing this, Huo Kai immediately stood up, stiffened his neck, and shouted loudly, "Let's have a spar! Who's afraid of who!"
Master Lu is a real scoundrel.
