The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 708 - 723: I think you two really have a shot, why not give it a try?
Han Xi watched the screen, and her eyes instantly misted with damp fog.
The screen displayed every picture taken since she met Lu Jinghan: him making long-life noodles for her on her birthday, their trip to the marriage registration office, him kissing her, picking tea together, riding a bicycle... so many pictures, finally ending with a silhouette of their family of three.
Han Xi’s tears uncontrollably dripped on the lit-up phone screen, and she turned around to tightly embrace Lu Jinghan: "Why are you always so good to me, you’re going to spoil me rotten this way."
"I just want to spoil you, pamper you, and treat you well for the rest of my life."
Lu Jinghan’s articulately jointed fingers brushed into Han Xi’s hair, his eyes filled with a deep affection as boundless as the ocean, engulfing Han Xi’s fluttering and palpitating heart.
As emotions ran deep, their soft lips touched each other, entwining passionately until the phone on the bed fell to the ground...
Suddenly, the video turned pitch black, and Manman loudly called Han Xi’s name, but the other side didn’t respond anymore.
Feng Yi, seated in the driver’s seat, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose; sometimes his girlfriend’s IQ indeed seemed offline: "They’re surely doing things unsuitable for children, you should just turn off the phone."
"Really?"
Manman, with a sly grin, didn’t turn off the phone but instead held it to her ear, trying to catch any clues.
"You’re going overboard doing this."
Feng Yi glanced at Manman, took the phone from her hand, and turned it off directly.
Manman pouted but said nothing, knowing that eavesdropping like this certainly wasn’t the most virtuous act.
.......
The next day, Han Xi and Lu Jinghan got up early, and downstairs, everyone was chatting lively in the living room. Song Mengmeng was wearing a bright red princess dress, adorably cute and extremely pretty.
Zhong Li had also just arrived. Han Xi had called her yesterday, inviting her for New Year’s Eve dinner, but Zhong Li said she had something come up and couldn’t make it that night, but would come in the morning to have dumplings.
Han Xi sat next to Zhong Li, leaned in, and quietly asked, "Sis, were you with Gu Nanxi last night?"
Zhong Li nodded: "He moved in opposite me again, last night his stomach hurt badly, so I drove him to the hospital, stayed there till night before getting home."
"I think you two really have a chance, give it a shot." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Dating is too troublesome, I want to stay single, free and unfettered."
Zhong Li no longer had the courage or passion to meet and get to know another man. For the rest of her days, she just wanted to lead a good life on her own, with a house, a car, savings, and Han Xi as her sister, that was enough.
After breakfast, Lu Jinghan and Han Xi called grandmother and uncle together, wishing them a happy New Year. On the other end of the phone, the old lady kept asking if Han Xi was tired from being pregnant, if her morning sickness had improved, and worriedly giving all sorts of advice.
After hanging up, Han Xin also sent New Year wishes to Chu Ci and Manman via text.
Soon, friends and relatives of the Lu Family came over to give New Year’s greetings to Old Master Lu. In no time, the spacious living room was filled with people. Shen Qiong and Han Xi were busy entertaining everyone, offering fruits and serving tea.
Lu Jinghan was worried Han Xi would get tired, and considering her slow-to-warm-up nature, if she stayed here chatting with everyone, she might feel a bit uneasy. So, he let Han Xi and Zhong Li return to their rooms first.
