Xiao Bao was sleeping soundly. She quietly got out of bed to see what was going on.
She pushed open the bedroom door and saw Lu Tingxiao pouring water. He was holding his stomach with one hand and his face looked very pale.
Ning Xi hurried over. "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Uh, do you have a stomachache?"
Lu Tingxiao didn't say anything.
Ning Xi knew she had guessed right.
So Lu Tingxiao couldn't eat spicy food. Why did he eat it?
"Wait, I'll get you some medicine."
Luckily, she had the usual medicine at home.
Ning Xi hurriedly fetched the medicine for the stomach. "Take both."
"Thank you." Lu Tingxiao took the medicine from her palm. His cold fingertips brushed against her skin. It felt like he was brushing against her heart, making her feel numb.
It was a stormy night and such a beauty was right in front of her. It was too easy to go wrong!
Ning Xi recited the Pi for a long time before she calmed down.
Seeing Lu Tingxiao take the medicine, she couldn't leave immediately, so she stayed with him for a while.
"Are you feeling better? Do you need to go to the hospital? Sorry, I didn't know you couldn't eat spicy food … "
She had been worried about Xiao Bao, but Xiao Bao was fine. Lu Tingxiao was in trouble. What was going on …
"It's nothing to do with you. It's just an old problem."
They were silent for a while. Lu Tingxiao suddenly said, "I'm sorry to disturb you tonight because Xiao Bao wants to see you."
Ning Xi was surprised. "Xiao Bao wants to see me?"
"Xiao Bao was frightened in the warehouse. You saved him, so he is very dependent on you now." Lu Tingxiao explained.
Ning Xi found that as long as Xiao Bao was by his side, or when she mentioned anything about him, Lu Tingxiao's cold aura would be much more restrained. He was not as scary as he was during the day.
"I see …" Ning Xi nodded.
Probably because it was easy to let down one's guard at night, Ning Xi asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time. "May I ask if Xiao Bao doesn't know how to speak?"
She had never heard Xiao Bao say a word. The little guy only knew how to nod and shake his head.
"It's not that he can't speak, he just doesn't want to," Lu Tingxiao replied.
"So it's because of his psychology?" Ning Xi frowned.
"Xiaobao is slightly autistic." Lu Tingxiao didn't hide it.
"I see …" It was about the same as what she had guessed.
As for why Xiaobao was autistic, she naturally didn't dare to ask about this kind of rich and powerful secret.
"Miss Ning." Lu Tingxiao suddenly stared intently at her. That gaze was clearly cold and clear, but it gave her the illusion that it could burn people to ashes.
"En?" Ning Xi was startled by his stare.
"Have we met somewhere before?" Lu Tingxiao asked.
If this question had been asked by someone else, Ning Xi would have been sure that the person was hitting on her, an old-fashioned one at that. However, the person who spoke was Lu Tingxiao, and the confusion in his eyes was genuine.
"I don't think so. If I had met someone like you, Mr. Lu, there's no way I wouldn't have an impression of you … Is there a problem?" Ning Xi's tone was quite certain. With her identity, even when she was the eldest daughter of the Ning family, it was impossible for her to meet someone like Lu Tingxiao.
"It's nothing." Lu Tingxiao looked away, his eyes reflecting the dark night outside the window. He looked a little lonely.
If they continued to be alone like this, the atmosphere wouldn't be good!
"Mr. Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll go to bed first?" Ning Xi said cautiously.
Lu Tingxiao seemed to see through her and raised his hand. "No hurry, sit down."
No hurry! She was in a hurry!
