My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 626 - 022: You are the 1st_2

"How many girlfriends have you had before? Come on, tell me about your romantic history!" Yun Xi propped her head with one hand, adopting a full-on gossip-listening posture, with a slight curve on her lips that always gave an insincere feeling, especially with the way she stared at him, as if she was about to devour him.

Lu Xize looked at her expression and couldn’t help but feel amused yet helpless. He now deeply regretted bringing up this topic just now, especially since there was a troublemaker lurking around who clearly wanted to stir things up.

Actually, he and Yun Xi were merely friends at the moment, so it wouldn’t matter much even if he talked about it. However, for some reason, he didn’t want her to misunderstand, didn’t want her to get angry or upset because of this matter.

Moreover, Yun Xi’s stubborn nature worried him a bit. He was truly concerned she might obsess over it, and regardless of whether it was his wishful thinking, he always hoped in his heart that she wouldn’t.

"Really want to know?" However, he had a good grasp of Yun Xi’s temperament, and since he himself majored in psychology, he knew how to steer this topic away.

Yun Xi was a proud person who always disdained flattery or begging for favors. So when Lu Xize questioned her like that, Yun Xi couldn’t help but let out a cold snort, dismissively curling her lip, "Say it if you want, if not, forget it. It’s not like I really want to know. It doesn’t concern me anyway."

She was a typical example of a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though she said that, she actually cared quite a lot inside. But without an appropriate identity, what position did she have to inquire about it!

Asking too much would only add to her troubles needlessly.

Lu Xize chuckled quietly, not responding, his gaze focused ahead as he concentrated on driving.

When the car arrived at Ningxin Road where she lived, Lu Xize saw her carrying plush toys with a frosty face, holding a bag of cosmetics and her handbag, preparing to push open the car door. But with so much stuff in her hands, she couldn’t free a hand to open the door. Stubborn as she was, she wouldn’t ask him for help. She strained to open the door with one hand, but as soon as she moved, a plush toy slipped from her hold.

Lu Xize pursed his lips and glanced back at Yun Yisheng, who had fallen asleep at some point with no sign of waking.

"Let me help you with the door." Lu Xize couldn’t bear watching any longer. He unfastened his seatbelt and pushed open the door to get out, jogging around the car to her side to help open the door. As he saw her stepping out, her face showed no expression, but anger was written all over. "Can you manage? Do you need me to help you carry these up?"

Lu Xize shut the car door and saw her struggling so much. Her handbag was hooked with just her pinky, and from what he had observed today, her bag, though not large, had a bit of weight to it.

"No need, I can do it myself." Yun Xi didn’t even look at him, cradling the pile of stuff as she headed into the complex.

But after a short distance, the two Pikachu plushies in her arms slipped out. Yun Xi stared blankly at the two Pikachu on the ground, trying to bend down to pick them up, but as soon as she slightly bent, the panda plushie also tumbled down, although she managed to catch it in time.

Seeing this, Lu Xize quickly jogged over, picked up the two Pikachu toys, and even took the bag hooked onto her pinky and the pandas she was holding. "Come on! I’ll help you carry these up."

"No, give them back. I can handle it." Yun Xi protested, frowning in displeasure as she tried to reach for them, but didn’t have a free hand.

"Still angry?" Lu Xize chuckled, observing her expression closely. "If you want to know, I can tell you; I just didn’t want to upset you."

"Why would I be angry?"

"See! Aren’t you mad right now?"

Yun Xi was speechless, glaring at him with irritation, "Give me back my stuff. I can’t be bothered arguing with you."

"Alright, alright, you’re not angry; it’s just me overthinking. Let’s go! I’ll bring these up for you." Lu Xize laughed, compromising as he gently nudged her forward with one hand on her back.

Yun Xi glanced at him, but said nothing more. Once they were inside the lobby waiting for the elevator, she couldn’t help but ask, "So, how many girlfriends have you had before?"

"Didn’t you say you didn’t want to know?" Lu Xize raised an eyebrow, looking at her amusedly.

Yun Xi lifted her eyes to meet his gaze before silently withdrawing without saying anything else, her eyes fixed on the changing floor numbers.
