Genius Girl is the Big Shot's Beloved Treasure

Lu Xingzhi didn’t mind Helian Xi’s words, and she replied with a sweet smile.

Helian Xi: "..."

This was indeed true. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Lu Xingzhi didn’t stay long and left shortly after.

Just as she returned to Xingchen Pavilion, Yun Yan came over.

Upon seeing him, Lu Xingzhi really didn’t know how to face the situation.

Regarding the incident from twenty-one years ago, she had neither explored it nor wanted to know.

Given that her grandparents could stay in that small village, it definitely indicated that things weren’t as simple.

She truly didn’t want to know since they had passed away; even knowing the past wouldn’t have much effect on her.

Furthermore, since her grandparents hadn’t told her anything before they left, they obviously didn’t want her to know.

Lu Xingzhi never forced matters like this.

"Please have a seat." Lu Xingzhi wasn’t genuinely heartless. He was her biological father, unaware of her existence, and she didn’t blame him.

It’s just that there wasn’t much warmth now.

However, since he was here, she couldn’t greet him with a cold face.

She knew Yun Yan had recently attended several of her performances, always sitting in the front row.

She had noticed him.

After Yun Yan sat down, Lu Xingzhi asked, "Would you like tea or coffee?"

"Tea." Yun Yan wouldn’t be pretentious enough to say ’anything.’

He wanted to slowly get to know this daughter and hope she would accept him, naturally choosing not to hide his preferences.

"Though I’ve lived abroad for nearly twenty years, I rarely drink coffee. I usually brew tea myself."

In some ways, Lu Xingzhi’s character resembles Yun Yan’s.

Yun Yan is a reserved man, typically taciturn, but he behaves differently with Lu Xingzhi.

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi replied and instructed the maid.

Lu Yuheng stood behind Yun Yan, happy to see Lu Xingzhi wasn’t leaving immediately.

At least it showed she didn’t resent Yun Yan as her father.

He truly hoped for the father and daughter to get along well.

However, neither was particularly good with words, and the quiet atmosphere made him anxious.

"Miss Xingzhi, the master heard that you like chocolate, so he specifically bought various flavors for you from abroad," Lu Yuheng broke the silence.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at the several shopping bags on the table, pursed her lips, and said, "Thank you!"

"No need. It’s what I should do." Yun Yan hadn’t fulfilled his fatherly duties for years, and now this wasn’t compensation for Lu Xingzhi.

Though they hadn’t spent much time together, he somewhat understood his daughter.

She wouldn’t care about his compensation.

He just wanted to fulfill his duty as a father.

"You really don’t have to do this. I don’t blame you, nor anyone else." Lu Xingzhi lowered her eyes and directly said, "It’s just that I can’t call you that right now."

"I know. I’m not doing this to compensate you," Yun Yan replied bluntly.

Lu Yuheng was anxious!

Why did this father and daughter make it seem like a negotiation?

This wouldn’t do!

Sigh!!

And Huo Jincheng isn’t here now.

But he likely gave instructions that they could come in straight when they arrived.

The master never speaks so gently to others, but come on, this is your daughter! How can you be like this?

She couldn’t possibly know that you care about her!

Young women need to be coaxed.

Lu Xingzhi also remained silent, though she managed to grasp Yun Yan’s intentions.
