Seeing that she wasn't paying attention to him, Lu Huai carefully shifted his position and slowly moved to sit next to her. When Qin Xi felt the warmth beside her and looked up, she saw that Lu Huai was already sitting very close to her.
"..."
"..."
Lu Huai looked around, while Qin Qi remained expressionless.
Lu Huai looked away, while Qin Xi stared at him.
After a long pause, Lu Huai finally gave in, carefully taking her hand and blinking his eyes, "Qin Xi, don't be angry, I really didn't mean it that way, you know that."
Qin Xi kept a straight face and said coldly, "What do you mean? How should I know?"
She wasn't actually angry after blocking him earlier, but some things, if not explained clearly, will just keep piling up in her heart.
“Qin Xi…” Lu Huai pulled her along, gently rocking her, “Don’t be angry…”
"Don't be angry?" Qin Qi squinted. "You left first, preventing me from entering the palace, and you expect me not to be angry? You sent people to monitor me, and you expect me not to be angry? You knew the truth but still slandered me, and you expect me not to be angry?"
Qin Xi asked a series of questions, and Lu Huai opened his mouth slightly, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
"What? You expect me not to be angry if you don't explain all this clearly?" Qin Xi snorted coldly, clearly not buying it.
Lu Huai sighed, lowered his head, and held her delicate hands in his palms, saying, "It was wrong of me to leave first. I didn't think things through. I thought you were hiding something from me, so I asked A-Yu to drive away."
He paused, then said, "I didn't send anyone to monitor you. I was just very scared, afraid that something might happen to you, that you might be in danger. It was my fault for not informing you beforehand."
“I was talking about you and…” Lu Huai frowned, seemingly unwilling to mention him at all, but still said, “You and Zhao Xuanyang, it was my fault. It’s just that I’m a man, and a petty man. When I saw you with him, I felt jealous and my heart ached, so I said something without thinking that made you angry.”
"I don't know if my father-in-law can be so forgiving, but I certainly can't."
"It's simply because I care about you too much."
He looked at her intently and spoke each word carefully.
Am I...too concerned about her?
Qin Qi was slightly taken aback, staring blankly at the handsome man with bright eyes and prominent eyebrows.
Seeing her stunned, a sly glint flashed in Lu Huai's eyes. He released Qin Xi's hand and cupped her soft cheeks, about to kiss her when she was off guard, but Qin Xi reached out and covered his mouth.
“Wait a minute,” Qin Xi raised an eyebrow, glancing sideways at the person who had been caught red-handed, “You haven’t finished speaking yet.”
Lu Huai blinked innocently as she covered his mouth, then pouted and kissed her palm.
Qin Xi: "!"
She looked up in surprise, as if burned by something, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, only to have it caught by Lu Huai and placed in front of his chest.
Qin Qi's cheeks were flushed as he gripped her wrist tightly. Seeing the mischievous smile on his lips, she bit her lower lip in embarrassment.
That lecherous scoundrel...
Lu Huai looked at her with a smile, "What else do you want to say?"
Qin Xi paused. Right, what was she trying to say just now?
Distracted by that lecherous Lu Huai, she forgot!
She couldn't free her hand, and she forgot what she wanted to say. Qin Xi glared at him angrily, trying to burn two holes in his handsome face to quell the sorrow in her heart.
Lu Huai smiled and let her look at him.
A moment later, Qin Xi's eyes felt a little sore. Just as she was about to blink to recover, everything went black before her eyes, and she felt a warm breath coming from beside her ear.
