Chapter 1463: Zhi Zhi, I Love You

Lu Xingzhi took the flowers in a daze and said, "Thanks! Happy Valentine’s Day."

Is today Valentine’s Day?

Lu Xingzhi hadn’t thought about it at all. Her mind this past month had been on other things, she simply never thought of Valentine’s Day.

"I didn’t prepare a gift for you." She’d forgotten.

"It’s okay, as long as I didn’t forget." Huo Jincheng had only decorated the place a bit.

Lu Xingzhi had just given birth. He didn’t want her to feel that after the baby, his feelings for her had faded.

In fact, they only grew stronger.

"I finally finished my confinement today. This month was so miserable!" Lu Xingzhi said.

"It won’t be like that again. We’re not having any more." Huo Jincheng couldn’t bear for her to suffer like that again.

"You never know, we’ll talk about it later! It’s not even certain I’ll get pregnant again!" Lu Xingzhi didn’t think too much about it. Things in the future could wait until then.

"Zhi Zhi, I love you."

Huo Jincheng’s sudden confession left Lu Xingzhi completely stunned.

It wasn’t that she’d never heard him say it, just... they’d already had a child, why was he suddenly saying it so solemnly again?

She looked up at him. "Why are you suddenly confessing? I wasn’t mentally prepared at all."

"You don’t need to prepare for anything." Huo Jincheng had just suddenly wanted to say those few words, so he did.

Even though she knew, he still wanted to tell her that he loved her.

"All right then!" What else could Lu Xingzhi say? Of course she accepted it.

Seeing the room all decorated, with fresh flowers, Lu Xingzhi’s lips curved faintly. "We’ve been together so many years, and you still specially celebrate Valentine’s Day with me!"

"Even if we’re together ten years, twenty years, thirty years, and even longer after that, it still won’t stop me from celebrating Valentine’s Day with you." Huo Jincheng held her hand. "Do you want to go out to celebrate today?"

"No, let’s just stay home. It’s too cold outside." Lu Xingzhi didn’t want to go out; she just didn’t want to be in confinement anymore.

"I didn’t prepare a gift for you. Let me play you a piece instead!" Lu Xingzhi didn’t wait for Huo Jincheng to answer, she went straight to the piano and sat down.

She played "Deep Love Does Not Disappoint Meeting." She’d already played this piece many times.

"From now on, just play me a piece every Valentine’s Day." Huo Jincheng walked to her side. "Our Zhi Zhi playing one piano piece—who knows how much that’s worth! I’m making a profit here."

He said this before Lu Xingzhi could speak.

"Okay then!"

"Zhi Zhi, let’s play a piece together." Huo Jincheng took her hand and placed it on the keys.

A lively tune poured out.

When Little Amber was two months old, Huo Qiyuan became critically ill, and everyone in the family who could make it came back.

Including Huo Jinyan.

After all kinds of tests, the doctor regretfully informed them that the old man didn’t have much time left.

Actually, they all knew the old man was already very old and his health wasn’t great.

But accepting that he was suddenly about to leave them was still very hard.

That night when Huo Jinyan saw Qin Shen Shen, his expression was rarely a bit heavy.

He didn’t tease her in that annoying way.

"Jin Yan, what’s wrong? Is something going on? Is your Grandpa okay?" Seeing him like this, Qin Shen Shen was really worried.

Huo Jinyan just held her and didn’t say anything.

After a long time, he finally said to Qin Shen Shen, "Shen Shen, let’s get married."

"Huh? Get married?"
