On the way, Ning Xi opened the car window. The cool breeze in the early morning felt very comfortable on her face, and it also blew away the depressed mood of the past few days.
Lu Tingxiao turned on the radio, and upbeat music instantly floated out of the car...
Confession balloon/The wind blows across the street/Smiles fly in the sky
You said you were hard to chase/wanted me to back off
The gift doesn't need to be the most expensive/just the fallen leaves of Champs-Elysées
Oh/create a romantic date/don't be afraid to mess it up
If you own it, you own the whole world
Dear/I fell in love with you/From that day on/It was sweet and easy
Dear/Don't be willful/Your eyes
Saying I do
…
The melody of this song was very sweet, as bright and cheerful as a summer day, but Ning Xi always felt something was wrong when she listened to it.
I was just out buying some groceries, why are you making it like a date
And these lyrics... For some reason, she always feels guilty when she hears them!
Half an hour later, in such a subtle atmosphere, we finally arrived at the vegetable market.
"Do I need to buy you a mask?" Lu Tingxiao asked with some concern. In order not to be disturbed, he did not let the bodyguard follow him this time.
"No need. The working people here don't have the time to care about gossip. Besides, I'm so ladylike today, no one will recognize me. Compared to me, I think you and Xiaobao need masks more!" Ning Xi teased.
Although it was still early, there were already quite a few people in the market, bustling about.
Ning Xi was worried that Xiao Bao wouldn't be able to adapt, so she bent down and picked him up.
It was Xiaobao's first time to come to such a place. He looked around all the way, his little head moving from her left shoulder to her right shoulder, looking very attentively.
However, the little bun had gained some weight recently and was quite heavy. Ning Xi found it a bit difficult to hold him after a while.
Lu Tingxiao, who was standing by, promptly took Xiaobao from her hands and said, "Let me hold him."
The little brat was already in Lu Tingxiao's hands, but his hands were still tightly grasping Ning Xi's neck.
Lu Tingxiao's face was serious. "Do you know that you are very heavy?"
The little boy immediately looked shocked when he heard that, just like a girl who was told she was fat.
Although Ning Xi thought it was quite funny, she quickly comforted him, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense, you're not heavy at all, you can even be a little fatter. It's just that daddy is more stable holding you, and he's taller, so he has a better view when he holds you!"
Xiao Bao was barely coaxed into calming down, but he had no interest in looking at the scenery anymore. He stared at Ning Xi the whole way, as if he was afraid that she would be squeezed out of sight by the crowd. As soon as he saw her a little further away, he would reach out to her.
"Wow, the fish over there looks so fresh!" Ning Xi crawled over to a stall like a loach.
Lu Tingxiao glanced at the girl, then freed his other hand and held her hand.
"..." Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at her hand that was being held, her palm suddenly felt hot.
"Xiaobao was worried that you'd get lost." Lu Tingxiao looked helpless.
Ning Xi glanced at Xiao Bao, only then did she realize that the little fellow looked anxious.
"Hey, ma'am, do you still want this fish?" asked the aunt selling fish nearby.
Ning Xi hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. I've looked around. Auntie, your fish is so juicy!"
"Ma'am, you have a very good eye. You can ask around and they will know that my fish is the best in the whole market!" The aunt looked proud.
Ning Xi listened for a long time before she realized something was wrong. This lady called her "Madam"
Obviously, I misunderstood that they were a family of three...
