Father Xi was on the line now, saying, ”Just come back here, Xiao Xi. You don’t understand Shiqing. While he may look soft on the outside, he won’t compromise once he has decided on something. He really is that adamant.”

”He’s right, Xiao Xi. Don’t push yourself too hard, we’re not blaming you. It really isn't your fault,” Mother Xi echoed, afraid that Ning Xi was putting all the blame on herself.

”Uncle, Aunty, I understand but I won’t back off until I’ve tried everything I can. Let me give it one more shot!”

…

Ning Xi’s expression changed swiftly after she ended the call.

Knocking him out and taking him back by force would not be the best solution. If Xi Shiqing was not going to change his mind, he would just leave after he waking up anyway.

What should she do?

At the same time, a black car was parked under a big tree near the temple.

Lu Tingxiao frowned as he checked the time on his phone.

”What’s taking her so long?” Lu Jingli had already arrived to meet his brother.

Lu Tingxiao got out of the car to light a cigarette, looking impatient.

Lu Jingli scratched his head and tailed his brother. ”We can’t just sit here and wait. Should we go in and see what’s happening?”

”I can’t.”

”Ugh, okay...you're not the best person to go...you might make him go crazy again…” Lu Jingli mumbled. He then said, ”I’ll go then! I’ll just go and check on what’s happening! It’d be really terrible if the Xi's pressured Ning Xi and she’s forced to tell them what actually happened last night. They might even force her to try and get together with Xi Shiqing for a little while!”

This was what Lu Tingxiao had been worrying about.
