Lu Lin's eyes widened in surprise. "You're saying... Xixi has taken a fancy to that brat?"
Zheng Huai quickly pulled Lu Lin back into his office. "Lower your voice!"
Lu Lin furrowed his brows, his words solemn, "That won't do. Xixi hasn't even been properly introduced to the Lu family yet. What if she is abducted? I don't know what family that boy is from and whether he is a suitable match for our Xixi. No! Zheng Huai, we must dig into that brat's background."
Zheng Huai unscrewed the cap of his thermal flask and spoke as if he were a monk in deep meditation, "You don't need to worry about that. His family is quite well-off."
Lu Lin rounded on Zheng Huai, demanding, "You knew about him and kept it from me?"
"You never asked," Zheng Huai answered innocently. "How would I know what goes on in your head?"
