Chapter 1499: You Look Beautiful Today

Lu Tingshen was thinking, aren’t girls these days all into young idols?

They like those sweet dramas.

Why does Little Crystal prefer watching these?

Huo Chengying’s thoughts were actually very simple. She just wanted to see how melodramatic these family ethics dramas could be.

Especially the ones with really complex mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, where no matter how much you hurt me, I still respect you.

And those where a husband cheats multiple times, but as long as he returns to the family, you forgive him.

The next afternoon, Huo Chengying changed into a floral dress with thin straps, the hem only reaching her knees, revealing her slender calves.

Her waterfall-like black hair was tied into a ponytail, her delicate and radiant face attracting attention.

On her feet were flat white sandals, showing toes painted with purple-pink nail polish.

Lu Tingshen was briefly amazed when he saw her.

Actually, she dressed very casually, without any intention.

At seventeen, her face had no makeup, just normal skincare.

“Little Crystal looks very pretty today,” Lu Tingshen praised.

“You don’t need to mention obvious facts. My genes are good, I’ve been beautiful since I was a child,” Huo Chengying said without false modesty.

Lu Tingshen: “…”

Alright!

Though true, this was really not humble at all.

“Uncle, what do you want to eat? I heard this restaurant is good, have you been here before?” Huo Chengying had done some research online, as inviting someone to dinner, it has to be decent.

After all, she had been staying at Lu Tingshen’s for several days!

After bothering him for so long, she couldn’t just randomly pick a restaurant.

“I’ve been here. The food is good, your choice is nice,” Lu Tingshen still took the menu and ordered a couple of dishes Huo Chengying liked.

But Huo Chengying ordered sweet and sour ribs.

“Aren’t you not a fan of pork?” Lu Tingshen asked upon seeing her order that.

“It’s for you, don’t you like it?” Huo Chengying had long noticed that Lu Tingshen liked this dish.

When she was younger and visited his house, she often saw this dish.

Not eating it was probably out of consideration for her taste.

Lu Tingshen paused, surprised she noticed.

“Thank you then,” Lu Tingshen said.

“No need to thank me, I’m inviting you to dinner, it’s only right,” Huo Chengying flipped through the menu again, ordering a small dish and a soup.

The next day was Saturday, the day Huo Chengying went to school.

Lu Tingshen confirmed multiple times, “Are you sure you don’t need me to take you to school?”

“No thanks, I can go by myself.” In this regard, Huo Chengying was very independent.

While in the United States, although her brother took care of her, they weren’t always together.

Different schools, different places.

This time returning to the country, coming to H City, she did it all by herself.

Her parents were still in France at this time!

“Alright then, I won’t go in,” Lu Tingshen didn’t insist.

After all, he knew that since Huo Chengying lived in the United States for seven years, her lifestyle differed from many kids here.

Sometimes taking care of someone might be a hassle for them.

“Thank you, Uncle.” Pulling her suitcase, Huo Chengying waved to Lu Tingshen, “I’m going in now, bye!”

“Bye!”

Lu Tingshen drove home, but by nighttime, suddenly felt like something was missing.
