Outside the window, the night is as cool as water.
The room was filled with heating, and the girl's delicate body was buried in the soft quilt. She was sleeping soundly with long and steady breathing.
Lu Tingxiao sat in the bed, his fingertips entwined with the girl's hair, quietly looking at the girl's sleeping face, and did not sleep all night.
Her every word, every smile, and every frown kept repeating in my mind.
She said, Lu Tingxiao, I like you, I like you very much, I like you very much...
She said, because I found that I really like eating cabbage more...
One second ago, he was in deep trouble because of Lu Jingli's phone call, but the next second, he was saved...
He always liked to be in control of everything and didn't like the feeling of things being out of his control. However, the girl in front of him was a complete uncertainty factor who could bring unforeseen situations to his life at any time.
Just like his fate, there is no escape.
But I don’t want to escape.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Lu Tingxiao didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, he was in exceptionally good spirits.
Nearing dawn, he keenly noticed that there seemed to be someone outside the house.
So he tucked in the corner of the quilt for Ning Xi, then pushed the door open and went out.
Sure enough, there was a man standing under the eaves outside the door, with a pile of cigarette butts under his feet, and no one knew how long he had been there.
Seeing Lu Tingxiao coming out, the man raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Boss..."
At this moment, Tang Lang, who had always been nonchalant and high-spirited, had a pale face, unshaven beard, and a heavy shadow under his eyes, looking extremely haggard.
Lu Tingxiao didn't seem surprised by Tang Lang's state. He just asked coldly, "Have you seen it?"
Tang Lang nodded with difficulty, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked: "Those things you showed me... are they all real?"
"A friend of mine in the military found out. You should have heard of the Mo family in the imperial capital," Lu Tingxiao replied.
Tang Lang's face suddenly turned gloomy. Lu Tingxiao's words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back...
Of course he knew about the Mo family in the imperial capital. The old man of the Mo family was in charge of China's intelligence department. It would be fine if they didn't investigate such matters, but as long as they took action, they would find out the truth.
Tang Lang closed his eyes in extreme pain, his body trembling slightly, and he murmured inaudibly, "I regret it... If I had known earlier... I would have been better off being confused... Why bother to find out the truth..."
"The six-month deadline has expired, and I have fulfilled my promise. From now on, you can decide whether to stay or leave," Lu Tingxiao said.
Tang Lang stroked his chin, "Well, isn't that too much of a loss for you? I've been wasting my time with you for half a year and have done nothing!"
"You saved her."
It takes a thousand days to raise an army and only one day to deploy it, so it is not a loss at all. Moreover, this is the most correct decision he made.
"Uh, okay..." Tang Lang said, sighing, "Hey, where else can I go now... This time, in order to save Junior Sister, I have been completely exposed. Boss, please take me in! If you don't protect me, I'm dead!"
"The Mo family is interested in recruiting you into the military. I wonder if you are willing to do so? Your past identity and everything else can be completely erased." Lu Tingxiao said.
Tang Lang was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was silent for a long time, but finally refused, "Forget it. What's so good about that damn place? There is no freedom at all! Boss, can you arrange a normal job for me? Oh, I envy my junior sister a little bit~ I suddenly want to live a normal life~"
"Sure. Go find Cheng Feng and he will help you arrange it."
"Thank you, Boss~" Tang Lang said gratefully. Then, his eyes accidentally passed over the sensitive part of Lu Tingxiao's shoulder, and he raised his voice at the end of his voice, "Yo... Was it intense last night?"
