In the car, Xiaobao stared at the unresponsive phone with a look of bitterness and resentment.
Lu Tingxiao unbuckled his seat belt and said, "I'll go in and take a look. Wait for me here."
Xiaobao immediately grabbed the corner of his father's clothes and said he wanted to go with him.
Lu Tingxiao looked at his son and asked, "What if she gets drunk? Should I hold you or her?"
The little boy puffed up his cheeks to show that he was not convinced and that he didn't need anyone to hold him.
Lu Tingxiao's face darkened. "Unfortunately, the last incident has reduced your credibility in my eyes. I can't trust you to take care of yourself. If you get lost again, even I can't bear the consequences. Understand?"
The little boy hung his head, looking very lonely.
Realizing that his words were too harsh, Lu Tingxiao rubbed his son's head and said, "I'll be back soon."
"Lao Zhang, drive the car to the underground garage."
"Yes, Master."
Under the excited gazes of the crowd at the hotel entrance, the car door slowly opened and a man got out of the car.
He was wearing an iron-gray suit, with a tall and slender figure and a strong aura.
"Ah—it's Lu... Lu Tingxiao! I was just wondering which God of Wealth this was, but I didn't expect it to be the God of Wealth! I was saying, except for the God of Wealth, who else can afford such a luxurious car! Compared to Master Xiao, the Su family is simply not good enough!"
"Oh my god, help me, I'm about to faint with excitement... I only saw you once in a magazine, I didn't expect to meet you in person here! I really want to go up and ask for your autograph! Sign my underwear!!!"
"Those young handsome men and movie stars can only kneel down in front of our Master Xiao. If Master Xiao enters the entertainment industry, there will be no place for them!"
"You're just dreaming. It takes a lifetime of luck to be able to see a real person at such a close distance. Do you still want him to enter the entertainment industry and show you around every day?"
…
Even after everyone had entered the hotel, the people at the door were still reluctant to leave and were still gossiping enthusiastically.
"Every time Big Boss Lu shows up, he's always surrounded by people. Why are you coming to the hotel alone so late today?"
"Who knows? Anyway, he can't be here to look for a woman!"
"What a pity, such an outstanding man is not interested in women! Why do you think Lu Tingxiao is not interested in women?"
"I like men!"
"That's all nonsense. How can you have a son if you like a man? I think Xiao Ye must be a lovesick man. He is deeply in love with the mother of his child, so he has been keeping his virginity for her for so many years!"
…
After Lu Tingxiao went upstairs, he found that all the crew members had left. The people at the hotel entrance just now should be the last group of people, but Ning Xi was the only one missing.
While he was looking for someone along the corridor, he called Ning Xi again.
Still no one answered the phone.
When passing by the restroom, Lu Tingxiao suddenly stopped. There seemed to be a ringing sound of a cell phone coming from the direction of the restroom.
He stopped and listened, and found that it came from the direction of the women's restroom.
Lu Tingxiao hung up the phone, and the noise in the women's restroom stopped.
Finally finding the person, Lu Tingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned slightly.
The women's restroom, he couldn't go in to find someone.
She didn't respond when her phone rang so loudly just now. It seems that she was very drunk.
"Ning Xi?"
Lu Tingxiao called out tentatively, but as expected, there was no response from inside.
Lu Tingxiao stood in front of the washbasin between the men's and women's restrooms. He raised his slender fingers and pinched his brows. The expression on his face was as if he was making a major cooperation decision involving more than one billion yuan.
A few seconds later, he took a step with his long legs and walked towards the women's restroom.
