Ning Xi desperately gave him some dishes. "Hehe, Iā¦ I'm just kiddingā¦ donāt mind me!"
Lu Tingxiao did not look the slightest bit angry, and in fact looked like he was in a good mood. He smiled lightly. "Good idea."
Ning Xi was stunned silly: "ā¦" He actually thought it was a good idea?!
"Ning Xi." Lu Tingxiao looked at her suddenly with a serious expression.
Being the focus of those deep eyes made Ning Xi nervous: "Whatā¦ what is it?"
"If you change your mind, come and find me anytime," said Lu Tingxiao.
When Ning Xi heard this, her heart thumped. She knew he meant the issue of "marrying him"ā¦
Even though he hadnāt brought it up again after her clear rejection last time, she could feel that his attitude towards her had been different all along. She could also feel the atmosphere between them growing more and more ambiguousā¦
The worst was her heart, which was starting to thump out of her controlā¦
Was what Jiang Muye said actually true, that her head had been turned by Lu Tingxiaoās beauty?
After what she had experienced five years ago, she thought she would never fall in love again. There was even a long period of time when she had had a huge psychological problem. She extremely hated and was completely repulsed by men; especially when she saw bastards, she couldn't suppress the evil spirits that burned inside her, and she was obsessed with annihilating them, like meting out divine justice...
Her frame of mind had calmed down a lot in recent years, but she still rejected men in general, what more finding someone to marry. That was simply too impossible for her.
ButĀ this man in front of her, who always had on a poker face, and had a frightening aura that often scared herā¦ somehow he had cracked the thick shell surrounding her heartā¦
After the hot pot,Ā Little Treasure was tired, and fell asleep in the car on the way back home. He was so small and soft in her embrace that Ning Xi didnāt want to let go of him.
Oh, it was terrible! Big Bun had already made her so confused, and Little Bunā¦
She realized that the more she spent time with Little Bun, the more she liked him, to the point thatĀ if she didn't see him for even just one day, she would miss him. If she didn't hug him today, it would feel like she was missing something.
This was not a good signā¦
When they got home, Ning Xi carefully carried the little guy into his bedroom.
Lu Tingxiao leaned against the doorframe, and looked at with aĀ gentle expression. "Weāve troubled you these few days."
Ning Xi tucked Little Treasure in, and then came out after closing the door. "It's nothing, I also like Little Treasure very much."
After hesitating for a moment, she said with a relieved smile, "Little Treasure is getting better and better, so it looks like soon, I wonāt need to live here anymore!"
Lu Tingxiao's face suddenly turned black. "Are you very eager to leave?"
Ning Xi step back under his fierce gaze. "Thisā¦ the plan had always been that I would leave after Little Treasure recovers, I would also be a bother if I stayed for so long!"
Lu Tingxiao: "Youāre not."
Ning Xi had no choice, she could only raise her head and look him straight in the eye. "But I would feel troubled."
Lu Tingxiao frowned. "Troubled?"
"Yes." Ning Xi took a deep breath and spoke. "To be honest, I'm not a very disciplined person. If I stay here, I have to always mind my behaviorā¦"
Lu Tingxiao: "You donāt have to."
Ning Xi facepalmed, and said with resignation, "Okay, even if you don't mind, I also need a private life. Occasionally, Iāll have friends over. Iāll also need to relax after work sometimes, and ride my bike, or hit the bars and nightclubs. If I meet a good-looking guy, it's unavoidable that I'll bring him back for the nightā¦"
"Enough!" Lu Tingxiao's face had become uglier the more he listened, until he couldnāt bear it anymore, and finally interrupted her.
