999 Husband? (1/2)

Lu Tingxiao stared at her with a darkened expression. ”What do other people's lives have to do with you?”

Ning Xi cleared her throat. ”Hey, that's your cousin! It's not very nice for you to say that.”

”Even if it was me, I don't allow to do such things!”

”That's nothing...I've dabbled in way more dangerous things than this back then. What happened today was a totally small case. I wouldn't do things I'm unsure of...”

She had explained till her mouth went dry, yet Lu Tingxiao remained stiff as a rod. Ning Xi could not help but cry on the inside. She had gotten the upper hand and made Lu Xinyan apologize, but now it was her turn to be in the pits.

Ning Xi persisted in rubbing her hand against the man's chest and said, ”Don't be angry, okay? Next time, I'll really be good and stay beside you. I won't just run off!”

Lu Tingxiao indicated that he did not trust her at all.

Ning Xi felt like her words did not carry enough weight, so she murmured, ”Then, what can I do to appease you?”

Lu Tingxiao looked at her with darkened eyes, not saying anything.

Ning Xi's eyes lit up. She suddenly thought of something. ”Hmm, don't be angry, alright...husband?”

Lu Tingxiao was speechless.

You win!

...

Half a month went by since that incident had happened.

Since then, Ning Xi's life had been significantly affected...

The worst thing was the devil's maddening and random style of safety education. The other thing was that her apartment had gotten so filled up that she had nowhere to stand. It was filled with all sorts of hampers, expensive clothing, makeup and those sort of things. There was even a pair of nunchucks, a soft sword, and other weird things like guns and knives...

The hampers with tonics were sent by Mo Lingtian and Guan Ziyao while the clothes and makeup were sent by Lu Xinyan. As for the nunchucks, sword, and knives, those were given by Shi Xiao and Xiong Zhi.

She knew why most of them had sent her those things, but she was really confused about Shi Xiao and Xiong Zhi.
