1342 Wife-Protecting Devil (1/2)

At Platinum Palace, Ning Xi was still lively on the outside, but after Lu Tingxiao brought her back, her energy seemed to have been drained entirely. She simply did not want to move at all.

Lu Tingxiao carried her down from the car, then took her all the way upstairs before carefully putting her to bed. He helped her take off her coat, and immediately checked for any wounds on her.

It was a good thing that she was obedient this time. It did not matter how the others had been beaten up because she was just fine with no wounds at all. Her fair and smooth fingers were intact as well. That bloodstain on her fingertip earlier was probably not hers...

Thus, Lu Tingxiao was not even angry at all.

Mmm, very good.

Ning Xi withdrew the finger that he kept checking and held his face. She was humming indistinctly, ”Baby, you light up my world...the way that your beauty gets me overwhelmed...”

Then, she leaned in and wanted to kiss his thin and seductive lips...

Lu Tingxiao avoided the kiss. He asked seriously, ”Tell me, what is it?”

Even though Ning Xi was very impulsive, she had principles. She knew what she should not do and she cared especially for her career. If something drastic had not happened, she would not have acted as she did tonight.

Unless she could not control her own behavior anymore.

And what could have made her lose control to this extent?

Ning Xi buried her head in his embrace. Perhaps, she missed his hug, or she was trying to avoid his gaze. ”I'm in a bad mood.”

”Why're you in a bad mood?”

”Because...because Mo Lingtian...”

”Hmm?” How did it involve Mo Lingtian?

”He bullied my cousin, and even made her pregnant without wanting to take responsibility!”
