No reply came even after ten minutes.

Lu Xia became extremely frustrated since this had never happened before, so she sent him another text after some thought: [Brother Yanxi, see you at our usual spot.]

Huo Yanxi was in a daze staring at his phone after receiving Lu Xia’s text messages.

He instinctively wanted to reply Lu Xia after receiving the first message, but his fingertips froze when he recalled what Huo Tingrui said last night. For a long time, he did not manage to type a word.

Huo Yanxi had indulged Lu Xia since childhood and was keenly aware of her personality. Even after she returned to the Lu family, he never treated her as an outsider and trusted her wholly.

Huo Yanxi rubbed his forehead. He opened the second message Lu Xia sent and went into a deep thought. Then he took his car keys from the drawer and left the office.

***

In a private room on the second floor of a western restaurant in the city.

Lu Xia got the chauffeur to send her here after school. She had been at the restaurant since 5:00 pm. She had been waiting for an hour now. Her heart kept sinking as she looked out of the window and watched the sky turn dusky.

Huo Yanxi had not replied to any of the texts from Lu Xia. She did not know if he was busy or deliberately avoiding her. It seemed ever since their phone conversation last night, something had quietly changed.

Lu Xia held her phone, wanting to call Huo Yanxi, but suppressed her urge repeatedly. In her heart, she kept telling herself not to panic and to stay calm.

The private room door finally opened at around 7:00 pm.

Lu Xia hurriedly stood up when the sound came and ignored her phone when it fell onto the table. She bit her lips to control her emotions and spoke up in a slightly choked voice. “Brother Yanxi, I thought you weren’t coming.”

Huo Yanxi instinctively wanted to console her when he saw the pitiful look on Lu Xia’s face. In the end, he looked away and replied in a normal tone. “Sorry, I was held up by a client.”

Lu Xia’s face turned slightly pale. She swayed and subtly held onto the chair for support. Sniffling, her gaze turned downwards.

She shook her head and said meekly, “It… It’s okay. I didn’t mind the wait.”

Huo Yanxi clenched his fists but didn’t say anything. He pulled out a chair and sat down without looking at her. Then he casually picked up the menu and asked. “What would you like to have? It’s my treat today.”

Very quickly, he pressed a bell for the waiter.

“Anything’s fine,” replied Lu Xia softly.

“Then let’s have our usual,” said Huo Yanxi. He closed the menu and raised his head to order a few dishes from the waiter.

The moment the waiter left, Lu Xia turned her gaze towards Huo Yanxi.

He was sitting across her with an impassive face.

She said softly, “Brother Yanxi, are you angry with me over what happened last night? I know I was too anxious. I shouldn’t have assumed that Yaoyao took Granny just because I couldn’t get in touch with her. I kept thinking about it last night and didn’t sleep a wink. I was so worried that I caused you trouble. I wanted to apologize to Yaoyao today, but she didn’t want to see me… Brother Yanxi, I’m sorry. You can scold me if you like since it was all my fault.”

Lu Xia choked while speaking. Her face was bereft of color and she seemed dreadfully pitiful.
