Ning Xi sat down obediently with a sad face, her posture as proper as that of an elementary school student.
Lu Tingxiao propped his head up, "Are you afraid of me?"
Compared to the cold and indifferent Lu Tingxiao during the day, he was more sinister and dangerous in the middle of the night.
Ning Xi shook her head like a rattle, then nodded like garlic, "There should be no one in the entire empire who is not afraid of you, right?"
Lu Tingxiao twirled the water cup with his slender fingers and said faintly, "Just because other people are afraid of me, you are afraid too? Then, other women all want to marry me, why don't you want to?"
This question scared Ning Xi so much that she almost fell off her chair.
During the day she thought she had escaped, but she was too naive.
How should she answer this damn question
Ning Xi raised her hand tremblingly, "Before answering this question, can I ask a question?"
Lu Tingxiao nodded, "Okay."
"Why me? Is it because Xiaobao relies on me? I think this is only temporary, and it will be fine once his emotions stabilize. Even if he stays like this, you don't have to... don't have to put yourself in such a difficult position..." Ning Xi advised earnestly, as if advising a girl who had fallen into mischief.
Lu Tingxiao put down the cup in his hand and looked up at her. "Ms. Ning, I thought I made it very clear from the beginning. If you still don't understand, I don't mind saying it again. Because you saved Xiaobao, I decided to repay you with my own life."
It's because this reason is so fucking stupid that I can't accept it, okay? Ning Xi roared in her heart.
Ning Xi felt that she had already reached the point of no return on this issue, so she could only say apologetically, "Mr. Lu, thank you very much for your kindness. Actually, I am a non-marriage advocate, so..."
Lu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows. "So, you just want to sleep with me? And you don't want to marry me?"
"That's right... Ugh! No no no... That's not what I meant!" Ning Xi almost knelt down before him. Can you please not be so shocking
"It's a shame, I only accept sexual relationships as long as they are based on marriage."
"Who would believe that..." Ning Xi couldn't help but mutter under her breath when she heard that, thinking, you're pregnant before marriage, okay
Lu Tingxiao looked out the window, his face looking a little dazed, "Xiaobao was an accident, I don't know who her mother is."
“…” Why does this sound so mean
"Do you mind that I have a son?" Lu Tingxiao suddenly asked.
"How is that possible!" As Lu Tingxiao said, all the women in Beijing were trying their best to become Xiaobao's stepmother, so why would she mind
"Why is that?"
It looked like Lu Tingxiao would not let her go until he clarified the issue tonight.
Ning Xi helplessly held her forehead and took a deep breath, "Mr. Lu, marriage is not a joke. Whether it's for repayment or for some other reason, we just met after all. Do you know me? Do you know my past?"
"I want to marry you as you are now. Your past has nothing to do with me." Lu Tingxiao's answer was indeed domineering.
Ning Xi's face gradually turned cold. "But, for me, my past self is also a part of me. I can't separate myself from my past and marry you. Mr. Lu, we have different ideals and cannot work together. I sincerely suggest that you take back that ridiculous idea."
What followed was a cold silence.
Just when Ning Xi thought that the other party would get angry and mad after being rejected again.
Lu Tingxiao said calmly, "I understand."
Ning Xi's tense nerves finally relaxed, "Then I'm going to sleep. Good night."
"Good night."
The man looked at the thin figure with his eyes as deep as the sea, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the scorching temperature of the seabed.
