After rummaging for a while, Ning Xi changed into a silver sequined camisole, black tight leather pants, and 12-centimeter high heels. Then, she put on smoky makeup that even her mother wouldn't recognize.
Cinderella put on a gorgeous dress at midnight and drove a pumpkin carriage to the palace to flirt with the prince. As for her, she dressed up as a little goblin and went to a nightclub in the middle of the night to annoy the devil …
Sigh …
Lu Tingxiao had been busy these two days. He shouldn't be asleep at this time, right?
Ning Xi ran to the balcony and looked in the direction of the study. Sure enough, the light in Lu Tingxiao's study was still on.
So she decisively ran to knock on the door.
Well, I'll try to blind him later!
"Dong, dong, dong." She knocked on the door three times. After a moment, steady footsteps came from behind the door. Then, the door opened.
When Lu Tingxiao saw the person outside the door, he was startled. "You …"
"I'm going out for a drink with a friend. I came to tell you!" Ning Xi said, looking expectantly at Lu Tingxiao's reaction.
Lu Tingxiao's surprise only lasted for a moment. He nodded as if he hadn't seen her exaggerated makeup. "Okay, have fun."
Then he asked, "Do you need me to ask the driver to take you?"
Ning Xi's face darkened. "Ahem, no need. I'll go by bike …"
She took a deep breath, pulled herself together, and was about to leave when Lu Tingxiao, who was sitting at the desk, suddenly walked towards her.
What did he want?
Ning Xi subconsciously took a step back, but she still couldn't avoid Lu Tingxiao's hand …
His fingers touched her earlobe and gently pinched it. Ning Xi's hair stood on end. She covered her ears and looked at Lu Tingxiao as if he was a strange uncle.
Lu Tingxiao's lips curved imperceptibly. He pointed to the place he had touched and said, "You have a black mole here."
"So?" Why did he mention her mole all of a sudden? Ning Xi's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't understand his logic.
"Ordinary people can't recognize your outfit and makeup, but this mole is very iconic and completely exposed. It's better to cover it," Lu Tingxiao said.
Ning Xi stood two steps away. "It's just a mole. No one will notice it, right?"
"It's best to be careful."
"Alright, what you said makes sense. I'll wear a bigger ear stud to cover it later!"
"Yes."
After a brief confrontation, Ning Xi finally rode away from the gate.
Why did she have the illusion that she would lose miserably at the beginning of this round?
"No, no, no. Wake up! I must break the superstition of the Great Demon King!"
…
At the bar.
It was rare for Ning Xi to indulge herself. She ordered a bottle of wine and sat at the bar.
On the dance floor, demons were dancing wildly, but she didn't have the slightest interest. She absentmindedly held the wine glass and stared blankly.
Nightclubs and bars had lost their novelty during her years abroad. No matter how hot the scene was, in her eyes, it was like a silent and comical mime …
After drinking a bottle of wine, Ning Xi ordered a second bottle.
Instead of relaxing her, the alcohol only made her more upset.
At this moment, a man walked towards her with a glass of wine in his hand. "Miss, are you alone?"
The man looked to be in his thirties. He was well-dressed and looked like an elite. He seemed to have a good sense of himself.
In the time it took to order a bottle of wine, many men in the bar had already noticed her. However, Ning Xi looked like a veteran, and most people didn't dare to touch her.
