Looking at Han Xi’s evasive deanor, Li Manman continued, "Xiao Xi, Auntie isn’t here anymore. You must feel lonely being always by yourself. I think you should try to accept Lu Jinghan. Maybe he can truly make you happy?"
Han Xi glanced at the suit jacket she was wearing, which Lu Jinghan had forcefully put on her as they left the Li Family’s old house, saying it was cold outside and he was worried she’d catch a cold.
.......
The next morning, Han Xi was still in the bathroom freshening up when she heard the doorbell ring.
She dried her face with a towel and ran to open the door.
"Morning."
Lu Jinghan, smiling, walked past Han Xi into the house, took out n’s slippers from the paper bag at the entrance, changed into them, and headed to the dining room with breakfast.
Only then did Han Xi realize and hurriedly ran to the bedroom to close the door. Li Manman was still asleep, and she couldn’t let that girl know Lu Jinghan was here, or she’d never be able to explain.
"Why all the fuss? Is there soone else in the bedroom?" Lu Jinghan asked while arranging breakfast.
"Mr. Lu, you really don’t have to co and bring breakfast every day, I can make it myself."
Lu Jinghan glanced at the awkward woman standing by the dining table, his deep and dark eyes full of indulgence: "You have a tendency for stomach aches, you shouldn’t settle for quick als. These are breakfasts I asked Auntie to prepare to soothe your stomach. Make sure to eat more later."
In an instant, Han Xi felt touched in the most tender part of her heart.....
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Li Manman, with sleepy eyes and ssy hair, walked out. Seeing Lu Jinghan, she instantly woke up: "Oh my, Mr. Lu, you’re too good to our Xiao Xi, a breakfast made with love!"
Han Xi was so startled by Li Manman’s sweet and coquettish voice that her skin prickled.
Did this girl take the wrong dicine?
Lu Jinghan smiled silently, probably also taken aback by Li Manman’s eccentric behavior.
Han Xi took a deep breath and whispered, "Could we act normal, and not go crazy?"
Li Manman smiled insincerely and nodded, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you two. I’ll go back to sleep and won’t interrupt your breakfast ti."
With that, she turned and went back to the bedroom, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
Han Xi felt overwhelmingly awkward.
"Alright, co over and have breakfast," Lu Jinghan placed the porridge on the table.
Han Xi slowly walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down, and quietly sipped the porridge from the bowl.
Lu Jinghan picked up a xiaolongbao and placed it on Han Xi’s plate, "At noon, I’ll bring lunch to the hospital for you."
"No need, I’ll eat at the cafeteria." Han Xi declined decisively. If colleagues saw it, who knows what rumors would spread.
"I’m worried you’ll get too busy and forget to eat. For my peace of mind, I’d rather deliver it personally."
Han Xi felt that Lu Jinghan’s words carried a romantic undertone, as if they were already in a relationship.
Was it just her imagination?!
After eating, Han Xi went to the bedroom, changed clothes, and ca out, bringing Lu Jinghan’s suit jacket along: "Your clothing."
Lu Jinghan glanced at the clothes in Han Xi’s hand, took them, and said with a clear, enticing voice mixed with warm breath: "This jacket has absorbed your scent. I don’t plan to wash it anymore."
Han Xi’s cheeks began to flush again, and the only sound she could hear was her own heartbeat.
