Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Chapter 719 Who Is the One Goofing Around?

Hearing that Lucien invite her for dinner, Sylvie immediately said apologetically, "I am sorry, today is my

father's birthday. I have to go back."

Sylvie's parents lived in the city near Riverside City. It took two hours to be there by car. Sylvie didn't

have a car, she planned to grab a taxi.

She wanted to take a shower, go to buy the gifts for her father, then take the taxi home from the mall.

She didn't have much time for her new boyfriend.

Lucien raised his eyebrows. "Your father's birthday?"

He thought his message was clear. Wouldn't she invite him a little even though just out of courtesy?

But Sylvie wasn't a sophisticated person. And more importantly, she felt it was not the right time to

introduce Lucien to her parents yet. They had just started a relationship.

And she didn't think the relationship would last long. She didn't intend to introduce Lucien to her

parents.

So, she didn't invite Lucien. She apologized again, "Yes, So I am afraid I won't be available tonight.

Let's take a rain-check."

Lucien was pissed off.

Sylvie had entered the building after waving her hand to him. Lucien looked up to the blue sky and took

a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

He knew that Sylvie didn't want a future with him.

Yet he comforted himself that although Sylvie was outgoing, she was very serious about the

relationship. She wouldn't bring random guys to her parents' place. That was understandable.

Adjusting his mood, Lucien drove back to his place and stuffed many gifts in his car. He had them

prepared beforehand.

He was determined to show up at Sylvie's father's birthday. So, he prepared the gifts immediately after

knowing that Sylvie was going back with Nina and Cameron.

He had asked Nina what Sylvie's father liked. And the answer was tea, especially green tea. So, he

had asked his friend to bring back some high-quality green tea from another city. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He had also prepared other gifts that elders might like, including gifts for Sylvie's mother. He had tried

his best to leave a good impression on them.

After packing the car, Lucien drove back to Sylvie's apartment. He knocked on her door.

Sylvie, who was about to set off, was surprised to find Lucien there. "I'm about to go out, why are you

here?"

Lucien said straightforwardly, "I am going back with you."

Sylvie, who had almost stepped out of the door, was stunned.

She looked at Lucien in terror. "Going back with me?"

"Yes," Lucien nodded seriously. "I would be worried if you take a taxi home since it is pretty far away. I'll

send you back.

"It's alright." Sylvie shook her head repeatedly, "I went home by taxi every time in the past. And taxis

are now connected to the police. It's safe."

Nina would ask the driver to send Sylvie home every time.

So, it was just Sylvie's excuse. She didn't want to bring Lucien home.

"The past was the past. Now you have me. I won't allow you to face any risk." Lucien was determined.

After that, he took over Sylvie's small suitcase and headed to the elevator.

Sylvie paused for a moment. When she realized what was going on, she quickly locked the door and

followed up. "Lucien, I don't think that's a good idea."

Sylvie thought that she shouldn't bring guys home unless she was going to marry them. Yet she and

Lucien merely know each other. They had just started dating.

Lucien suddenly stopped. Sylvie knocked on his chest. Lucien took the chance and grabbed her, which

made her blush.

She tried to get rid of him. Yet Lucien grabbed her hand. Sylvie felt her face even more burning.

Lucien looked at her delicate face and said, "I know what you are thinking."

Sylvie looked at him and heard him say, "The gap between us is too big. You don't think we will get

married, do you?"

Sylvie coughed slightly to cover her guilt.

Lucien didn't care much. He said, "For me, in a relationship, the match of souls is more important than

the match of wealth and power."

"It is the match of kind hearts."

Sylvie paused. She didn't expect Lucien to say such lovely words.

He had changed her view of successful men like him. He had opened her heart.

He was not arrogant or cocky, but tender and sweet. And as he said, "Love is the match of kind hearts."

That was what she cared about the most.

She wouldn't look at a man with disgusting thoughts no matter how wealthy he was.

She disliked people like Andrew from the bottom of her heart, also he was famous and handsome.

So, after looking a Lucien with her lips pursed for a while, Sylvie said, "Let's go then."

She decided to bring Lucien home. She trusted him now. Lucien smiled. They went into the elevator

hand in hand.

Downstairs, Sylvie told Lucien, "I am going to the mall first and buying gifts."

Lucien went to the back of the car and opened it, saying, "You don't need to do that, I've had everything

ready here."

Sylvie was stunned when she saw all the gifts. She couldn't speak.

Lucien said, "I heard your father loves tea. So, I prepared some for him"

Sylvie opened her eyes widely. She couldn't afford this tea but she knew how expensive it was.

She was afraid her father won't be used to it. They couldn't afford such tea.

Lucien then showed her other gifts. Some were for his father and some for her mother. Sylvie was

speechless.

After Lucien was done, Sylvie said, pinching her forehead, "Well, I think we'd better bring some other

tea instead of this one."

Lucien didn't understand, "Why?"

Sylvie shrugged. "It's too expensive. I'm afraid he won't let you enter the door."

Lucien was still puzzled. Sylvie went on to explain, "They'll see you as a playboy who likes to goof

around with women."

"That's unfair!" Lucien was aggrieved. "It is their daughter who wants to goof around with me."

Sylvie laughed, amused by his words.
