"Yes."
Ning Xi scratched her hair in embarrassment, "This... isn't appropriate, right? If Xiaobao wants to see me, I'll come see him anytime!"
Lu Tingxiao pinched his brows with a tired look, "There are too many uncertainties, especially at night. If there is an emergency, it will be too dangerous for you to rush over like this. With my status, it is not convenient for me to bring Xiaobao to see you frequently. I know this request is difficult, but as Xiaobao's father, I still want to fight for it. I hope you can agree."
Ning Xi had a headache.
If Lu Tingxiao had used his power to force her, she would have walked away. But he, with his status and position, begged her so sincerely. Especially in front of such a beautiful face, she really couldn't refuse!
At this time, Lu Jingli was staring at his brother with worshipful eyes.
It’s absolutely amazing!
He really didn't expect that his brother would use such a sophisticated method to open up a bloody path to Ning Xi, turning disadvantage into advantage.
Xiaobao's existence did not become an obstacle for him, but instead became his greatest help.
At this moment, with a "bang", the lamp on the bedside table was knocked over, and Xiaobao suddenly jumped off the bed and rushed out with a look of panic on his face.
Only when he saw Ning Xi did the fear in the little guy's eyes fade away, and he pounced on her legs like an arrow.
That extremely fearful look was heartbreaking.
Ning Xi squatted down hurriedly, "Baby, why are you awake?"
The little guy buried his head in her, and his soft little hands tightly hugged her neck.
"Be good, Auntie is here, don't be afraid..." Ning Xi patted the little guy's back gently, smelling the sweet milky scent on the little guy, feeling very complicated.
She obviously hates being around children, so why can't she hate Xiaobao
Ning Xi could only coax Xiao Bao to sleep again before she gently closed the door and walked out.
I saw that the messy living room downstairs had been tidied up by the servants.
As expected of the Lu family's servants, they were not only efficient but also well-trained. Although they were all extremely curious about Ning Xi's arrival, no one even looked at her for a second, let alone whispering. As soon as they finished their work, they immediately left quietly.
Seeing her come out, Lu Tingxiao just looked at her quietly without saying anything and without putting any pressure on her.
Ning Xi was hesitant, but thinking about how Xiao Bao was tugging at her clothes, she finally softened her heart and took a deep breath, "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll do you this favor. Just consider it as a reward for Xiao Bao saving me."
Lu Tingxiao's expression relaxed slightly, "Thank you very much."
"Xiaobao may wake up at any time. It looks like I can't leave tonight, but my things are still in the apartment..." Ning Xi was embarrassed.
"No problem, I'll have someone get it for you." Lu Tingxiao said as he told the butler to send someone to make arrangements.
Lu Jingli, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, was stunned by this amazing development.
This... this is living together?!
"Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Tingxiao glanced at Lu Jingli.
"I'll get out of here right now!" The light bulb that was disliked by her brother quickly flashed away.
Originally, he thought Ning Xi had the upper hand, but now it seems his brother is no pushover either.
He finally realized that his brother was not incapable of picking up girls, but he had not lifted the seal in the past thirty-two years...
Lu Tingxiao brought Ning Xi into a room next to Xiaobao's bedroom. "You'll live here from now on. If you like any style, I'll have someone redecorate it later."
Ning Xi waved her hands hastily, "No, no, I'm only staying for a few days and then leaving. I'm not staying here forever. It would be too much trouble to reinstall!"
"No trouble."
Lu Tingxiao took a bunch of keys from the housekeeper and handed them to her, "This is the key to the house. You can come and go anywhere you want. The front door has a combination lock, the combination is 591414. This is the key to the attic, keep it close to you, Xiaobao sometimes likes to take the key and hide in there. This is..."
Seeing that Lu Tingxiao was about to give her the key to his safe, Ning Xi quickly interrupted him, "Wait wait... Mr. Lu, you trust me too much! Aren't you afraid that I will secretly empty your house?"
"What do you want? I'll have someone help you move it." Lu Tingxiao was serious and had no intention of joking at all.
