Free Web NovelChapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Only I Can Have Her
The provocation in Fu Yanzhi’s eyes was obvious; he was just waiting for Huo Jincheng to lose his temper.
"Thanking me for helping you find your woman? You’re welcome." Huo Jincheng, however, forced his temper down and deliberately twisted Fu Yanzhi’s meaning.
He had no intention of doing what Fu Yanzhi wanted.
"Heh..." He really had underestimated him.
He actually managed to hold it in.
Fu Yanzhi gave a cryptic smile. "Can President Huo always speak on behalf of Little Zhi Liao?"
"Of course I can. I am, after all, her lawful husband." Huo Jincheng’s words were full of smugness.
"Then you’d better keep a close eye on her and manage your marriage well. After all, these days there are far too many people wanting to pry away someone else’s corner of the wall." Fu Yanzhi lowered his gaze and turned the thumb ring on his left hand.
In an offhand tone, he said, "As far as I know, Little Zhi Liao has plenty of people chasing after her. And there are many who aren’t optimistic about your marriage, either."
"Looks like President Fu is really quite idle. Otherwise you wouldn’t be so invested in my married life with my wife." Huo Jincheng took Lu Xingzhi’s hand, interlacing their fingers and placing them on the table.
"But, since you’re so concerned, I’ll put your mind at ease: Zhi Zhi and I, our relationship is very good, very stable, and it will only get better. As for those people trying to pry at my wall, I can only say they’re completely devoid of propriety, justice, integrity, and shame. They’re destined to fail."
Confidence filled Huo Jincheng’s brows and eyes. "Besides, my wife is so outstanding, isn’t it perfectly normal for people to like her? It’s just that the only one who gets to have her is me.
I’ve never been afraid of people liking her. If one person likes her, I’ll treat her a bit better. If ten people like her, I’ll treat her ten times better. In short, I won’t let her go.
As for those would‑be home‑wreckers... it’s still a question whether they can even lift the hoe."
There was a heavy warning in Huo Jincheng’s words as well.
Lu Xingzhi looked at him, helplessness in her eyes, tinged with a few shades of tenderness and deep affection.
And Huo Jincheng also looked over at Lu Xingzhi, curving his lips at her in a pampering smile.
"Then I’ll offer you my blessings." Fu Yanzhi had no interest in watching their lovey‑dovey display.
It was an eyesore—and made him feel sick.
"Many thanks." Huo Jincheng accepted it unceremoniously.
"Little Zhi Liao, my offer is valid forever. As long as you speak your wish, I’ll make it happen for you. No rush, you can take your time thinking about it." Fu Yanzhi had never intended to talk to Huo Jincheng.
But as Lu Xingzhi’s husband, he really could answer for her, really could represent her.
That was truly, incredibly aggravating.
"And I’ve already said there’s no need. Don’t contact me again." Even though the threat was gone, Lu Xingzhi still didn’t want any further entanglements.
"It’s fine. You say you don’t need it now, but who knows, you might someday." Fu Yanzhi wasn’t exactly trying to repay a favor; mostly, he was just bored.
But for the moment, he wasn’t interested in anyone else.
"Since there’s nothing else, we’ll be going. Today’s tea will be on President Fu." Before saying this, Huo Jincheng checked with Lu Xingzhi with a look.
"That’s right. And President Fu, don’t trouble yourself anymore. I’ve said I don’t want any kind of repayment, and that goes for forever." Lu Xingzhi stood up and left Xingzhi Pavilion, hand in hand with Huo Jincheng.
Fu Yanzhi poured himself another cup of tea.
The corners of his lips lifted into a wickedly alluring smile, like a Manjushaka—beautiful, with a hint of danger.
"Zhi Zhi, I actually do mind." After they stepped out the door, Huo Jincheng finally spoke to Lu Xingzhi.
