"What happened last night?" Lu Nanfeng asked with a perplexed expression on his face, and He Lixue looked at him puzzledly. Then a cunning light flashed past her eyes, and she decided to tease her friend a bit.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him with an aggravated gaze. "How can you ask that after what you did last night?" She asked while sobbing, and her appearance made Lu Nanfeng panic.
What had he done last night? He knew that he had been drinking too much because his mood was foul, but how did he end up at her home and made her look this sad?
His thoughts were swirling around in his mind, and his expression was blank; he seemed as if he was petrified.
Seeing him like this, He Lixue burst out laughing. "Don't worry, all you did was wake me up from my sleep, made me cook you some congee, and then fell asleep in my bed. Nothing happened at all."
Lu Nanfeng was a very intelligent person, and when he heard what she said, he instantly understood that she had tricked him, but instead of getting angry, a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"You sure are gutsy now, daring to trick me like that!" he said, but there was no reproach in his voice, only some helpless indulgence.
Giggling, He Lixue climbed out of bed. She stretched her body, and then she went to pick some clothes from her closet and entered the bathroom.
Lu Nanfeng was left alone in the bedroom, but he needed some time to gather his thoughts.
When he saw the aggravated expression on He Lixue's face, he was willing to give her the world. When he thought that he had done something unacceptable, he was ready to take responsibility.
Although he did not have many female friends, he understood his emotions well enough to know that he would never feel this way towards the others.
Even when he was together with Lin Xulian, when she wanted to be intimate with him, he was always disgusted, but when he thought about having been together with He Lixue, there was no disgust, in fact, there was a slight bit of anticipation.
He understood that something was wrong. He Lixue was so young, did he really have feelings for such a young woman? She was merely twenty-two!
But Lu Nanfeng found that when he looked at her, she felt different from any other woman that came close to him. He found that when she was by his side, he was full of happiness and bliss. When someone insulted her, he wanted to rip them apart, and when he thought that he had touched her, he was full of anticipation.
If this were not the signs of him liking her, then what was?
But what were He Lixue's feelings for him? It was quite difficult to understand her. While she was extremely energetic and full of life, it was obvious that her thought process was different from ordinary people.
The fact that she made fun of what happened last night made him understand that she was much more liberal than other women, but how could she be so tolerant when she had grown up like a canary in a cage?
Lu Nanfeng suddenly thought about how He Lixue was different from what he had expected, and his eyes suddenly turned dark. Why was she so different from any other young woman from the upper class?
He suddenly felt that he needed to investigate her life. What could possibly have happened in her life to make her such an interesting figure?
He picked up his phone and dialed the number of his assistant. "Please investigate everything you can about He Lixue, send it to me, and also send me a clean suit to the Golden River Estate."
On the other end, the assistant looked confusedly at the phone in his hand. Investigate He Lixue? And send clean clothes to the Golden River Estates? Was that not where He Lixue lived?
Thinking like this, Assistant Zhang looked out the window in surprise. He had not heard from the driver that Lu Nanfeng had been sent to He Lixue last night, but upon hearing that the clothes had to be sent over, he could instantly guess what he was doing there.
He was also the one who had contacted the Fenghuang Estates to prepare the flat at the Golden River Estate for her.
At first, he had been confused about the relationship between He Lixue and Lu Nanfeng, but now he was not so confused anymore. Lu Nanfeng went to He Lixue in the middle of the night after a banquet; this was juicy gossip!
Everyone in the circle knew that Lu Nanfeng was looking after He Lixue, but no one knew why he was doing so. Many women were certain that they were the perfect match for Lu Nanfeng, so they had all convinced themselves that He Lixue was nothing special to Lu Nanfeng. That she was just a pastime, he was paying attention to, but not interested in.
At first, Lu Nanfeng also just had a favorable impression of He Lixue, but as time went on, he realized that he liked her more and more, but as to how important she was to him, he still did not understand.
Lu Nanfeng was deep in thought. He waited for the assistant to arrive with the clean suit, and at the same time, He Lixue prepared breakfast for them.
Although she was a hacker and had been taken in by her teacher in her previous life, she was not spoiled at all. Everything she wanted, she had to work for it, but she never regretted following her teacher. He was the one who pulled her from starvation and gave her life.
