On the road, Zhuang Ke'er waited anxiously beside the car for a long time. Only when she saw Ning Xi coming out did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and hurried over to greet her, "Xiao Xi!"
"Let's go!" Ning Xi opened the passenger door and quickly helped Zhuang Ke'er into the car.
Zhuang Rongguang huddled in the back seat of the car like a quail, not saying a word.
Zhuang Ke'er subconsciously pulled Ning Xi's coat closer to her body and said anxiously, "If I go home like this and get bumped into by the servants... it might be very troublesome to explain..."
"Go to my place first."
"Yeah." Zhuang Ke'er nodded, her eyes slightly red as she looked at the girl who was driving, "Xiao Xi, I'm really sorry about what happened tonight. I was in a hurry at the time and sent the text message without thinking much. I was scared later. If you get into trouble because of me, I will be blamed for it even if I die... I'm really sorry..."
Ning Xi glanced at Zhuang Ke'er in the rearview mirror. Her eyes no longer had the bloody look they had in the warehouse. She said in a gentle tone, "No need to say sorry. I'm glad that you think of me at this time."
Seeing Ning Xi's gentle expression, Zhuang Ke'er couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She took out a tissue and wiped the blood off Ning Xi's cheek, "But... Xiao Xi, how come you came so quickly?"
"I've been on a business trip in another province these days. I'm taking a flight back to the capital tonight. I saw your text message on the way home from the airport in a taxi. Fortunately, the car was not far from you at the time."
Otherwise, if she was a step late, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be...
Zhuang Keer showed an understanding expression after hearing this, and then her face was full of worry, "Xiao Xi, will this matter have any impact on you? After all, you just..."
Ning Xi tilted her head and gave Zhuang Ke'er a reassuring look, "Trust my anti-tracking ability."
"Yeah." Zhuang Ke'er nodded vigorously, showing unconditional trust in the person in front of her without any reason.
In the back seat, Zhuang Rongguang stared at Ning Xi in a trance, his eyes... containing a kind of yearning and longing that he himself had not even noticed...
He wants to be someone like this...
Such a person who can be relied on...
Someone who can make people around him trust and rely on him without reservation...
Want to be a real man...
…
Half an hour later, Ning Xi drove the car to her villa.
After entering the house, Ning Xi immediately found a set of clean clothes for Zhuang Ke'er, "Go take a hot bath and change clothes."
"Um."
After Zhuang Keer left to take a shower, Zhuang Rongguang stood in the living room at a loss.
He thought that with Ning Xi's temper, she would definitely scold him and maybe even beat him half to death, so he was ready to face anything.
As a result, Ning Xi didn't even look at him from beginning to end, let alone scold him, as if he was just a transparent person who was completely ignored.
Ning Xi's indifferent attitude made him feel worse than scolding or beating him directly...
After a while, Zhuang Keer came out of the shower.
Ning Xi asked Mantou to bring the medical kit for her, and then asked Zhuang Keer to sit next to her, "Come here, let me take a look at your injuries."
Ning Xi only took a quick glance and saw shocking pinch marks all over Zhuang Ke'er's wrists and neck, which were even more glaring against her snow-white skin, not to mention the purple and blue marks on her exposed skin...
