Today, Ning Xi had discovered that Little Bun was so talented in shooting. While she was pleasantly surprised, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
Little Baozi's genes were so good that they were practically heaven-defying. His biological mother must also be an especially outstanding and powerful person!
Zhuang Liaoyuan and Zhuang Zongren had fallen in love with Little Bun after just a short meeting. For Little Bun's sake, they warmly invited the father and son to have dinner at their house. They were exceptionally warm to Little Bun and the old master even wanted Little Bun to stay for a few days.
Naturally, Lu Tingxiao declined. He left with his wife and child as soon as they finished their meal.
It was not enough for the Zhuang Family to snatch his wife away. Now, they even had their eyes on his son.
…
Late at night, Platinum Palace.
Ning Xi left after coaxing Little Bun to sleep.
She was going back to the villa and was about to say goodbye to Lu Tingxiao. However, she couldn't find him.
Finally, she saw him under the shadowy rose vines in the small garden behind.
The man was dressed in cotton and linen casual attire, sitting on a rattan chair under the flower rack. One arm was across the back of the chair, and the other hand was holding a lit cigarette. The red glow of the cigarette butt flickered in the night.
Ning Xi frowned and walked over the soft grass. "Why are you here alone?"
Hearing the girl's voice, the icicle around the man, which seemed to separate him from the rest of the world, shattered. He pinched the cigarette in his hand and looked up at the girl. "Come here."
Ning Xi walked over. As soon as she reached him, the man took her hand and led her to sit on his lap.
The man's embrace was warm, with a faint smell of tobacco, as well as a trace of aura that made Ning Xi slightly uneasy.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind? "Ning Xi looked up and asked.
"Do you like Little Bun?" Lu Tingxiao asked in the tranquil night.
"Of course I do!" Ning Xi answered in confusion. She didn't understand why Lu Tingxiao would suddenly ask this.
Was there a need to ask this question?
To prove herself, Ning Xi continued, "Actually … I didn't like kids before I met Little Bun. Well … it's not that I didn't like kids … I just … didn't want to get close to kids … until I met Little Bun …"
Lu Tingxiao's heart sank when he heard Ning Xi's words.
That day in the wheat field of Spring Breeze Town, every word of Ning Xi's seemed to be ringing in his ears.
The child … died as soon as it was born … This is probably the only mercy the heavens have shown me …
Otherwise, I really don't know how to face and treat this child …
Lu Tingxiao subconsciously hugged the girl in his arms tightly. He leaned forward slightly as if he was about to kiss her, but just as he was about to get close, he retreated. The girl's words appeared in his mind again.
That strange man … was very scary …
I am in pain … very much in pain …
The pain of feeling like he was going to die …
I had a high fever for a week and had to lie in bed for more than a month before I recovered. When I went to see the doctor, I still couldn't forget that shameful feeling …
Later on, my fear of men followed me like a shadow. I hated and rejected contact with men. That one time five years ago was the only time I experienced it …
Every single word was still ringing in his ears, burning his heart like a raging inferno. Half of it was heaven, and the other half was hell.
Until now, he finally knew what it felt like for Ning Xi to carry an unspeakable secret alone.
