"Jump straight down, quickly! Donât pretend to be a lady!" Jiang Muye urged her agitatedly.
Ning Xiâs mouth twitched with speechlessness. Placing her hands on the sill, she jumped down from the window.
Jiang Muye immediately dragged her over, spun her around a few times to see if she had any suspicious marks on her, then stared at her with bright eyes. "Did anything happen last night?"
Ning Xi almost passed out from him spinning her round, and she said crossly, "Jiang Muye, what's wrong with you? Itâs still early in the morning, shouldnât you still be asleep? I was sleeping so well, what could have happened to me?"
The veins on Jiang Muye's forehead popped violently. "Ning Xi! Are you a pig? Don't tell me you donât know how you got back here last night!"
"I really don't know!" Ning Xi had an innocent look on her face.
Jiang Muye took a deep breath as he calmed down. He gnashed his teeth. "How is it you havenât been sold off when youâre this stupid? Last night it was Lu Tingxiao who personally carried you back here!"
Ning Xi was a bit alarmed to hear that, and immediately argued, "So what? It was definitely because darling Little Treasure was reluctant to wake me up, so he asked his father to carry me back!"
Because it was like that time in the bar. Little Treasure wouldnât allow anyone to touch her except Lu Tingxiao, so she didn't think it was anything strange.
Jiang Muye was half-dead with anger. "Ning Xi, canât you be a little more careful? Lu Tingxiao obviously has a thing for you, okay?"
Ning Xi sighed deeply, then placed her hands on Jiang Muye's shoulders, and said earnestly, "Brother, this sister is aiming for the stars, I wonât stop for the flowers or grass. Therefore, even if you kneel down to cry and beg me to become your Eldest Auntie, I wonât give you this opportunity, okay? Please stop being delusional, go back, take a shower, and sleep!"
Hearing this, Jiang Muyeâs mood became very complicated. He sighed in relief, but at the same time, looked at her with confusion. "Are you really prepared to be unmarried forever? What if you meet someone you like? Miss Little Ning Xi, your way of thinking is dangerous and no good, do you understand? Let me tell you, even though work is important, for a woman, itâs marriage that⊠ahâ"
Ning Xi couldnât stand it any longer and kicked him. "Jiang Muye, are you done? Did you deliberately come here to pick on me? It looks like itâs been too long since your last beating that your body canât stand it!"
"You just beat me up the day before yesterday!"
"Obviously I didnât beat you enough last time. Today, this sister has to beat you into submission. Letâs see if you still dare to spout nonsense all day!" Ning Xi rolled up her sleeves, ready to take action.
Jiang Muye covered his head and fled in terror, but he suddenly looked behind her and said, "UncleâŠ"
Ning Xi smiled darkly. " Rescue 1 ? However hard you yell today, no one will come to rescue you!"
Before Ning Xiâs devil claws dropped down, Jiang Muye shouted, "No⊠it's my uncle!"
Ning Xiâs back stiffened. She turned her head mechanically, then saw Lu Tingxiao standing against the light, dressed in a tracksuit. Sweat was rolling off his skin; it looked like he had just finished his morning run.
Caught red-handed about to beat his nephew up, Ning Xi racked her brains, then immediately pointed at Jiang Muye and opened her mouth. "Mister Lu, this person came running early in the morning to smash your house window. In the end, I found out, and I was just about to help you beat him up!"
Jiang Muye stared at her. "ShamelessâŠ"
"You still dare say you didn't!" Ning Xi spoke in a righteous tone.
Lu Tingxiao reached out a hand to remove a blade of grass in the girlâs hair, then his big palm rubbed her head in a natural gesture. "Donât be mischievous, go wash up, itâs time for breakfast."
"Yes, right away!" She made a face at Jiang Muye and ran away.
At that moment, Jiang Muye really wanted to grab Ning Xi and yell at her: Once! Twice! Three times! Lu Tingxiao is so obvious, are your titanium alloy dog eyes blind? 2 In Chinese, the words âuncleâ and âhelpâ share the same pinyin (phonetic alphabet), jiu. This is actually a pun on the actual expression âäșźçæçéćéççŒâ, which literally translates to âso bright it blinds my titanium alloy dog eyesâ, and describes something incredibly mind-boggling or shocking.
