There was a knock on the door.
Ning Xi walked over and opened the door.
At the door, a little maid stood there carefully holding a bowl of soup in her hand, "Miss Ning, this is the ginger soup that the old lady asked the kitchen to cook. It can drive away the cold."
"Ah, thank you, sorry for bothering you. I'll let the young master drink it as soon as he finishes his bath."
"It's not a problem. It's my duty." The maid bowed respectfully and left.
Ning Xi placed the ginger soup on the table and knocked on the bathroom door. "Lu Tingxiao, are you done with your shower?"
"Okay." Lu Tingxiao's voice came from inside.
A moment later, Lu Tingxiao came out holding Xiaobao, who had just finished taking a hot bath.
The little bun was wrapped in a big bath towel, his hair was slightly wet, and he was held in his dad's arms, smelling and soft.
When Ning Xi saw this, she immediately covered her heart with her hands, "Ah, Lu Tingxiao, I want a hug, I want a hug!"
The little boy immediately stretched out his hands and wanted his mother to hold him.
Lu Tingxiao placed the little bun into Ning Xi's arms with a gentle look.
Ning Xi held the little boy over, kissed his rosy cheeks, and fed him ginger soup. "Baby, this soup is a little hard to drink, but it can drive away the cold. It's good for your health!"
The little bun didn't resist at all and drank it all in one gulp.
Ning Xi clapped her hands happily and praised, "Baby is great! It's so hard to drink, but you finished it all!"
By the time the little boy had taken a bath, drank ginger soup and changed his clothes, he had regained most of his energy.
Ning Xi glanced at the time, "Lu Tingxiao, take Xiaobao to the front to entertain the guests first!"
"Yeah." Lu Tingxiao nodded and didn't ask any more questions about Ning Xi's decision to let Xiaobao stay.
When the little boy heard this, a look of nervousness immediately appeared on his face.
Ning Xi smiled and rubbed his little head, "Don't worry, go downstairs with Daddy first, and Mommy will come to find you soon after she changes her clothes!"
The little boy's slightly uneasy look immediately calmed down, and he nodded obediently, letting his father hold his little hand.
Ning Xi calmed the little kid down, then pointed at her finger and looked at Lu Tingxiao hesitantly: "Um... Boss, I have to tell you in advance, later on, I might have to do something... something that might offend people..."
Lu Tingxiao: "Well, no matter how offended, I'm here."
Ning Xi: “…”
Uh, why does the devil give her the feeling that he is a tyrant
But what if it's even more charming!!!
This feeling of having someone to back you up even if you poke a hole in the sky is so great~
…
"Hey, why didn't I see Mr. Lu tonight?"
"It seems like I haven't seen him. Maybe he hasn't come yet!"
In the banquet hall, many people had already started asking about Lu Tingxiao's absence. After all, this was his father's sixtieth birthday, and Lu Tingxiao was the current head of the Lu family. It was unreasonable for him to be so late.
At the same time, everyone was more certain of their previous guesses. Surely, something must have happened to the little prince...
Hearing people around him asking questions one after another, Lu Chongshan had a trace of worry between his brows, and he didn't know what Xiaobao's current situation was.
"Tingxiao..."
Lu Chongshan was just about to find a random excuse to explain to everyone, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw two familiar figures, one big and one small, at the door.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed it immediately and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh! Mr. Lu is here... Uh, the kid next to Mr. Lu is..."
In an instant, all eyes in the hall looked towards the door...
