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?”
