CHAPTER 262: CHAPTER 262: OFFERING ONESELF IN MARRIAGE

They practiced like this for three hours, only stopping when Huo Jincheng called her to eat.

Huo Jincheng admired this about Lu Xingzhi; once she promised to do something, she would do her best to accomplish it.

He believed that if Lu Xingzhi worked at a company, even if she started at the bottom, she would eventually rise to the top.

After all, she was very diligent and serious.

He wouldn’t tell her to stop, since what she was doing was something she loved.

When someone loves something, they don’t feel tired.

Just like he loves Lu Xingzhi; he is willing to do anything for her, and he enjoys it.

Meanwhile, Gu Jin Yan was having dinner with Helian Xi.

"Gu Jin Yan, how are you going to thank me? I helped you solve such a big matter!" Helian Xi raised her eyebrows triumphantly; if it wasn’t for her, Lu Xingzhi wouldn’t have agreed to help Gu Jin Yan!

"Isn’t that why I’m treating you to dinner?" Gu Jin Yan picked up a piece of chicken for her, "Here, eat more."

"Just a meal is enough?" Helian Xi was not satisfied but still ate the chicken.

"What else do you want? How about I marry you?" Gu Jin Yan joked half-seriously.

His tone was frivolous, but if Helian Xi looked into his eyes, she would know how serious he actually was.

"Aren’t you going to be a public heartthrob?" Helian Xi wasn’t taking him seriously; she continued to eat happily.

"If I had you, I wouldn’t need to be a public heartthrob." Gu Jin Yan smiled bitterly; he didn’t seem to have any redeeming qualities in Helian Xi’s eyes.

Public heartthrob?

He never even had a girlfriend.

"Save it! You might as well keep being a public heartthrob!" Helian Xi rolled her eyes; Gu Jin Yan’s words never sounded nice.

No, he never said anything honest.

Since childhood, he tricked her; when they were kids, he tricked her into thinking she should stand while peeing, and she foolishly believed it.

And then, she ended up wetting her clothes.

Gu Jin Yan loved teasing her since they were children—it was infuriating.

"Sigh! Your judgment is poor; you can’t even see my good sides." Gu Jin Yan sighed; he really liked her!

But even if he confessed to Helian Xi now, she wouldn’t believe him.

After all, he didn’t have a good reputation with her.

"You don’t need me to discover them." Helian Xi didn’t want to bother with him, taking a bite of food and then looking up, "I don’t care, I think you should thank me materially. Just this meal feels like too much of a loss."

"Then what do you want?" Gu Jin Yan smiled, his expression one of helpless indulgence.

"First, estimate Little Zhi’s worth; you know she’s Bertrand’s student! His only student. In the future, her status in the piano world might even surpass her teacher’s. Also, she’s Huo Jincheng’s fiancée! A prospective daughter-in-law of the Huo Family, what do you think her worth is?"

Helian Xi showed unusual clarity in her thoughts.

"So what do you think?" Gu Jin Yan asked with a smile.

According to her, he couldn’t afford it.

"That’s why I said I should just marry you." Gu Jin Yan continued to suggest.

"Forget marriage; how about you become my manservant, available whenever I call? That would be even better." Helian Xi thought commanding Gu Jin Yan would be quite satisfying.

Extremely satisfying.
