Ten minutes after she sent the message, there was no reply.
Lu Xia felt a sense of irritation, which had never happened before. She thought for a moment and sent another message: [Huo Yanxi, I'll wait for you at the usual place.]
Huo Yanxi was in a daze with his phone in his hand when he received Lu Xia's message.
When he received Lu Xia's first message, he instinctively wanted to reply to her. However, when he recalled what happened last night and what Ting Rui said, his fingers froze and he could not type a word for a long time.
He had doted on Xiaxia since she was a child, so he knew her personality very well. Even after she returned to the Lu family, he had never treated her as an outsider. He never thought he would have doubts about her one day.
Huo Yanxi rubbed his forehead and opened the second message from Lu Xia. After a moment of silence, he finally stood up, took the 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 had asked the driver to send her here after school. She waited from 5: 00 pm until 6: 00 pm. Her heart sank bit by bit as she watched the sky gradually darken outside the window.
Huo Yanxi had not replied to any of her messages. She did not know if he was busy or if he was deliberately not replying to her. It seemed that something had changed ever since the phone call last night.
Lu Xia held her phone and wanted to call Huo Yanxi. However, she resisted the urge several times. She kept telling herself not to panic and to stay calm.
Finally, when it was almost 7: 00 pm, the private room door was pushed open.
Lu Xia hurriedly stood up when she heard the voice. Her phone fell on the table with a clang, but she did not care. She looked at Huo Yanxi with reddened eyes and bit her lip. Her voice was choked with sobs. "Huo Yanxi, I thought you weren't coming."
Huo Yanxi instinctively wanted to explain when he saw Lu Xia's aggrieved face. However, he turned his eyes away and said in a normal voice, "No, I was held up by a client."
Hearing this, Lu Xia's face looked a little pale. She swayed as if she could not stand steadily. She held onto the stool next to her as if nothing had happened. She sniffed, lowered her eyes, shook her head, and said in a humble voice, "No, it's okay. I can wait for you."
Huo Yanxi clenched his fists. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Without looking at her, he picked up the menu beside him. "What do you want to eat? Big Brother is treating us today. "
Soon, he pressed the service bell beside him and called the waiter.
"I can do anything," Lu Xia said in a low voice.
"Then we'll have the usual." Huo Yanxi closed the menu and looked up at the waiter to name a few dishes.
After the waiter left, Lu Xia raised her head and looked at Huo Yanxi, who was sitting across from her. She smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, are you mad at me for what happened last night?"
"I know. I was too anxious last night. I shouldn't have misunderstood that Yaoyao took my grandmother away just because I couldn't get in touch with her. I didn't sleep much last night because I was worried that I would cause a misunderstanding."
"I went to apologize to Yaoyao today, but she didn't seem willing to see me... Brother, I'm sorry. You can scold me. It's all my fault."
