The old minister's residence.
Lu Tingxiao sat by the bedside and held Ning Xi's hand. A bunch of doctors were busy connecting tubes to Ning Xi's body, drawing her blood and giving her a full body checkup in case she had any other injuries or drugs injected into her.
Lu Tingxiao's brows were furrowed the entire time, his nerves not relaxing for a single moment.
"Please wait a moment, Mr Lu. The results will only be out in two hours at the earliest."
"She's burning up badly."
"That's because the wound is infected. This is a normal phenomenon. Thankfully, Mrs Lu had taken care of it herself. Otherwise, if the bullet were to linger in her body for too long, she might not even be able to keep her leg. "
At this moment, Lu Tingxiao's face was completely dark.
The treasure that he had been protecting so carefully in his palms had turned into this in just a single day's time. How could he not feel heartache!
Two hours later, the results were finally out.
"Mr Lu, the results are out. Mrs Lu's body is completely normal. Other than the gunshot wound on her leg, there are no other problems."
Upon hearing the results, not only Lu Tingxiao, even the old minister heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately, he instructed everyone to take good care of her and arranged the best room for them.
Because he thought that Lu Tingxiao and Ning Xi were husband and wife, he naturally arranged for them to share a room.
…
Ning Xi's vitality was greatly damaged this time round, and she did not wake up for a day and night. Thankfully, her fever had subsided.
In order to curry favor with Lu Tingxiao, the old minister specially held a banquet in the front hall, inviting many high ranking officials and business tycoons of the country.
During the banquet, Lu Tingxiao was greeted with nothing but compliments and concern.
"Thankfully, Mrs Lu is fine this time round. Otherwise, we would be in deep trouble!"
"That's right, that's right! Mrs Lu is blessed by the heavens! "
…
As for the matter of Ning Xi being his wife, Lu Tingxiao did not explain at all.
In this matter, there was a huge difference between a wife and a lover. For a random woman to cause Country X to mobilize their military might was simply too much. That was why he had said that Ning Xi was his wife back then.
There was no way these people would really check if he was married or not.
Even though Lu Tingxiao was already familiar with such situations, he was clearly a little distracted right now.
His heart was on the person who had yet to wake up.
He wondered if she would be afraid when she woke up and found herself in a strange place. Would she suddenly feel uncomfortable anywhere?
They were still drinking and chatting merrily at the dining table. Lu Tingxiao supported his head with one hand and held a glass of wine in the other, his knuckles rhythmically tapping the glass.
It was obvious that he was starting to get impatient.
Glancing at the time, he was ready to leave.
Just as he was about to get up, someone suddenly ran into the banquet hall …
Strictly speaking, one person jumped in.
Ning Xi was standing on one foot, wearing loose and warm white velvet pajamas. Her long hair was a little messy, and her forehead was full of sweat. Her face was full of horror, as if she had experienced something extremely terrible …
Only when her gaze passed through the long dining table and saw the man holding a glass of wine at the end did she finally calm down a little.
She had a dream, a very scary nightmare. She dreamed that Lu Tingxiao had died under the gunfire in order to save her …
"Bo …"
Seeing that Lu Tingxiao was sitting there unscathed, Ning Xi finally felt at ease. However, at the same time, she finally saw someone else.
This table was filled with well-dressed people … who were obviously from the royal family …
Ning Xi's dazed mind suddenly became clear. She almost blurted out "Boss", but she immediately changed it to "Hubby …"
