"Brother! Dear brother! Tell me honestly, did you teach Xiaobao this trick? Did you plan it from the beginning and wait for this moment to counterattack? Damn it! Since you already had a plan, at least tell me! I was so scared just now that my soul almost flew away!" Lu Jingli wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face still in shock.
Lu Tingxiao glanced at his brother who was almost fainting from fear, and explained, "You can't hide the truth on your face. If father finds out that Xiaobao did this because of the professor, he will be even more disgusted with Ning Xi."
“Uh… my face… is it really that hard to hide the truth?” Lu Jingli’s face was covered with tears.
Even the trick he gave was so reasonable that it was impossible to refute...
However, after the crisis was resolved, Lu Jingli quickly recovered and complained excitedly, "Brother, did you see the expressions of our parents just now? It was so funny! The old man was so happy that he was almost going crazy, but he was still pretending to be calm. The old lady just took action and dragged Ning Xi away. She looked like a robber! Little Xixi was completely stunned at that time!"
Lu Jingli recalled Ning Xi's expression at that time and felt much more comforted. After all, there was still someone who was as confused as he was.
In the Chinese retro-style living room, a long dining table is already filled with a variety of foods.
It was just breakfast, but it was even more exaggerated than a banquet.
Finally, Ning Xi sat down at the dining table in a daze.
Sitting opposite were Madam Lu, Xiaobao, and Mr. Lu.
Ning Xi's side was Lu Jingli, herself, and Lu Tingxiao.
Ning Xi had no choice but to speak up to save herself, "Thank you very much for the invitation, Madam. I've already eaten."
The implication is, I've already eaten! Let me go!
Facing the big devil so close to her on the left, and the big devil's parents opposite her at the same time, the pressure is really huge!
"Have you eaten? Has Xiaobao eaten too?" Mrs. Lu asked immediately.
"Yes." Ning Xi answered cautiously without saying a single word.
"What did you eat this morning, Xiaobao?"
"Xiaobao had a big bowl of wontons and a few steamed buns."
"Oh, he ate a lot!" Madam Lu nodded, then asked with concern, "Did he vomit?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chongshan also looked over with a serious expression.
Ning Xi shook her head, "That's not the case."
The two elders breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Then take a look and see if there's anything you like to eat. Try something!" Mrs. Lu said as she personally brought her a small plate of fried fish fillet with lemon.
It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so Ning Xi could only bite the bullet and express her gratitude.
At this time, Lu Chongshan coughed lightly and gave a look to the lady next to him.
The old lady immediately understood and asked, "Miss Ning, I heard that you took our Xiaobao out to play last night?"
It’s finally here!!!
Ning Xi immediately tensed up, "Sorry, no..."
Ning Xi was originally going to take the blame for taking Xiao Bao away without their consent...
But at this moment, her left hand placed on her knee was suddenly covered by a warm palm, and then squeezed lightly, as if it was a hint and reminder.
Because it happened so suddenly, Ning Xi was so frightened that she was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She almost jumped up on the spot, and her throat was choked by a mouthful of food. She coughed violently, "Cough cough cough..."
As if he was not the one who touched the girl's hand in private, Lu Tingxiao poured her a glass of water with an extremely calm expression, and then fed her the water in a very natural manner.
