Chapter 128: Probably Overthinking It

Huo Yanxi looked at Lu Xia’s face. Her face used to glow but now looked sallow, and her red eyes were filled with regret. She even threw aside her usual concern for image and only kept explaining the matter over and over again.

Complicated emotions surged through Huo Yanxi’s heart. His lips parted, and he wanted to say something, but Huo Yao’s proud face flashed before his eyes. She had been cold and did not even bother to explain when she was misunderstood. She was as stubborn as a hedgehog.

A while later, Huo Yanxi finally said, “It’s over. You don’t have to bring it up again. As for your apology…”

Huo Yanxi paused before he continued. “It’s fine. Yaoyao won’t take it to heart.”

Lu Xia lashes fluttered down slightly.

She asked him in a cautious manner. “Are you sure it’s okay? After all, I was the one who made… Brother Yanxi, don’t worry about me. If it can appease Yaoyao, I’m willing to do anything.”

Huo Yanxi subconsciously frowned but shook his head. “It’s fine.”

Lu Xia’s heart leaped up. She suddenly could not see through his attitude.

Very quickly, the waiter knocked at the door. Although Lu Xia wanted to probe Huo Yanxi further, she could only stop and put on her sunglasses before the waiter came through the door.

The waiter left after serving the food, and Lu Xia removed her shades.

Lu Xia glanced at Huo Yanxi, who had lowered his head and started eating his steak. She realized that she could no longer keep talking about the same topic, so she picked up her cutlery too and ate absent-mindedly.

In an instant, the private room became very quiet. The two of them said nothing and ate with their minds preoccupied.

After dinner, Huo Yanxi went to settle the bill. Lu Xia put on her shades and mask once again to avoid getting recognized.

Lu Xia looked at Huo Yanxi after they left the restaurant and opened her mouth to speak.

But Huo Yanxi beat her to it. “Where do you want to go?”

“I want to go home,” replied Lu Xia gently.

Huo Yanxi nodded and said, “I’ll send you back.”

As he headed to the car park, Lu Xia watched him from behind. It felt as though they had gone back to the good old days when there was no rift between them. She narrowed her eyes and composed her emotions.

She was probably overthinking the whole matter.

Twenty minutes later, Huo Yanxi sent Lu Xia to the Lu family villa entrance.

“Brother Yanxi, be careful on your way home. I’m going in,” said Lu Xia gently as she undid her seatbelt.

Huo Yanxi nodded. He did not start the car right away after Lu Xia left. Instead, he looked at the enormous Lu family villa through the gap in the gate’s design.

The decorative lights along the wall flickered dimly. The three-story villa seemed like a small castle and showed off the Lu family wealth.

Huo Yanxi suddenly twitched his lips and his eyes turned dark. He sat there with his hand on the steering wheel for a long time before he drove off.

Lu Xia changed into her indoor shoes after entering the villa. She bumped into Lu Ziming, who was coming downstairs, in the foyer. She frowned and didn’t greet him.

Their father was sitting on the couch in the living room and watching the television.

Lu Xia walked over and greeted him sweetly. “Dad, I’m home.”

He raised his head and glanced at Lu Xia with a smile on his plump face. He nodded and asked her casually. “Mhm. Why are you so late tonight?”
