 This Shows Your Charm

Qiao Le made a teasing “Oh” sound. Huo Zheng and Fu Dong exchanged a glance and also teased with an “Oh.” The playful mockery was obvious.

Mu Wanwan cleared her throat, pretending not to notice anything.

Her husband had to defend her, Lu Li said,

“Eat your breakfast yourselves.”

Fu Dong and the others smiled.

The five of them were enjoying a cheerful atmosphere, when an unexpected guest came to interrupt.

“Brother, cousin, good morning,” Lu Ziqing said, dressed in pink sportswear, clearly ready to join them.

“You all got up early,” An Yao greeted casually and pulled a chair to sit next to Fu Dong.

“You two didn’t get up late either,” Qiao Le said, biting her toast, her eyes showing a hint of mockery, worried they might leave and abandon her—everyone could see that.

Unusually, Lu Ziqing wasn’t angry. She turned to Huo Zheng with a sweet smile,

“Brother Huo, I can’t climb as fast as you. I’ll need your help later.”

She squeezed out two fake tears, looking pitifully at him.

Fu Dong watched with amusement as she lied to him, using him as a shield right in front of his face—what a bold move.

Lu Ziqing looked hurt,

“Why not? Brother Huo, do you dislike me?”

Huo Zheng felt the pressure from her sparkling eyes.

“This shows your charm. I won’t disturb you,” Fu Dong said, brushing Huo Zheng’s hand away and teasing before walking to sit next to Qiao Le.

The sightseeing van had eight seats. Minus the driver, seven were left.

Fu Dong stood up. Huo Zheng grabbed him and whispered,

“No way, you’re really not being loyal?”

Realizing he overreacted, Huo Zheng quickly explained,

“No, it’s just that Fu Dong just returned to the country, and I need to discuss some work with him.”

Fu Dong, nearly dizzy from her teasing, pulled back his hand and gave up,

“Alright, alright. You’re so loud I’m going deaf. Take the seat, fine?”

“Cousin, can you talk another day?” Lu Ziqing pleaded.

Fu Dong looked at his nervous gestures and laughed,

“Why didn’t you like staying close to me before? Did you take the wrong medicine today?”

Huo Zheng replied,

“Go away.”

“Cousin, can we switch seats?” Lu Ziqing asked as she walked over to Huo Zheng, trying to charm Fu Dong.

Huo Zheng, afraid she would cling to him, stayed close to Fu Dong. He picked a seat and quickly pulled Fu Dong over to sit beside him.

“We’re out to have fun, not to talk about work,” Lu Ziqing complained, linking arms with Fu Dong and shaking him.

Lu Ziqing smiled in satisfaction,

“Thanks, cousin.”

Could he just skip this outing?

After breakfast, the group left the restaurant. Outside, Fu Dong had already arranged the sightseeing van, since the destination was still a distance away.

Before Fu Dong could speak, Huo Zheng rushed,

“No.”

In his heart, Huo Zheng wanted to hit Fu Dong a hundred times. Lu Ziqing happily sat beside him, chatting nonstop, and he could only respond helplessly.

Mu Wanwan went to the bathroom and was the last to get in the van. Seeing Fu Dong sitting next to Qiao Le, she pursed her lips.

Looking around, only the seat next to Lu Li was empty.

“What are you waiting for? Sit here.” Lu Li grabbed her wrist and pulled her over.
