"Quickly wash your hands and eat!"

Lu Qing scratched the tip of Ning Xiaoxiao's nose lovingly before turning around and entering his study. Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Qing's back, her thoughts becoming more and more confused.

Since the two of them were already divorced, why would Xu Mo entrust his life to this man? Why was this man so intimate with him?

"Mom Li, I can't find Lu Qing's blue shirt anymore. Look at how careless I am all the time!"

Ning Xiaoxiao entered the kitchen and complained coquettishly to Mama Li. Mrs Li swiftly scooped the last of the soup into a bowl while replying to Ning Xiaoxiao with a smile.

"How can that be? The madam used to be able to carry all of Mister's socks on her back!"

Hearing Mother Li's words, Ning Xiaoxiao understood in her heart. She had really loved Lu Qing. Otherwise, how could she have put Lu Qing's socks on? If that was the case, then why would the two of them get a divorce?

"There's your sweet and sour steak today!"

Lu Qing held onto Ning Xiaoxiao's shoulder and brought her to the dining table. He then picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and passed it to Ning Xiaoxiao.

On the other hand, Ning Xiaoxiao continued to stare at the sweet and sour pork without moving her chopsticks.

"Why aren't you eating?"

Seeing how Ning Xiaoxiao didn't even move her chopsticks, Lu Qing also felt that something was amiss.

"Oh, nothing!"

Ning Xiaoxiao hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the sweet and sour pork into her mouth. Carefully savoring the taste of the sweet and sour pork, he pretended to like it very much.

Ning Xiaoxiao had witnessed the failure of her parents' marriage since she was young. Ever since she was young, she secretly swore in her heart that when she grew up, she would be widowed and unable to get a divorce. She and Lu Qing already had a little bun, but the two of them were divorced. Ning Xiaoxiao felt that based on her personality, she wasn't the person who was going to get a divorce.

Previously, she had secretly looked at the pictures in Lu Qing's box. Coupled with the fact that Lu Qing didn't know what dishes she liked to eat, Ning Xiaoxiao was even more certain in her heart that Lu Qing was the traitor in their marriage.

As such, he bit the sweet and sour pork in his mouth even more forcefully. When Lu Qing saw the strange expression on Ning Xiaoxiao's face, he became suspicious.

"Sir, I will rest first!"

Mother Li tidied up the kitchen and greeted Lu Qing.

"Mom Li, what kind of movie did the Madam watch today?"

Lu Qing didn't remain silent as usual. Instead, he turned around and asked Mama Li about Ning Xiaoxiao's condition today. Mama Li thought that Lu Qing was only concerned about Ning Xiaoxiao's condition.

"Madam hasn't seen any movies at all. She and young master are preparing for a makeup party!"

Mother Li happily told Lu Qing about Ning Xiaoxiao's activities today. The corner of Lu Qing's mouth twitched with difficulty, expressing his respect for Mother Li.

Indeed, Ning Xiaoxiao was faking her thoughts. In a split-second, Xu Mo's words appeared in Lu Qing's mind, "Maybe the moment she wakes up, her memories will go back to when she was 22 years old!"

The 22-year-old Ning Xiaoxiao, who had already married him, felt as if her heart was dancing on the tip of a blade. If she wasn't careful, she would have been stabbed in the heart.

If it wasn't for the 22 year old Ning Xiaoxiao, who was the 24 year old Ning Xiaoxiao, Lu Qing shook his head vigorously. The 24 year old Ning Xiaoxiao was the one whom he didn't dare to touch.

Lu Qing used alcohol to calm himself down and objectively analyzed how old Ning Xiaoxiao was now. The 22 year old Ning Xiaoxiao would definitely be familiar with him and would be more noisy than the current Ning Xiaoxiao. If it was the 24 year old Ning Xiaoxiao, she wouldn't be in her current state.

Lu Qing kept comforting himself that she was in a bad mood and that Ning Xiaoxiao was still a 17-year-old Ning Xiaoxiao.

The little bun was already sleeping soundly beside Ning Xiaoxiao. Ning Xiaoxiao was lying beside him, and her eyes were wide open as she looked outside without a trace of sleepiness.

Ever since the first night when the little bun and Lu Qing had gotten into bed, sleeping together with the three of them had become a matter of course. It was just that Lu Qing was still busy tonight and Ning Xiaoxiao could not fall asleep.

There were too many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't make sense of them. Having lost too many years of his memories, he was like a fool, allowing others to lead him along the nose. Ning Xiaoxiao's entire body was filled with a feeling of helplessness. She could not understand why Lu Qing, who had already divorced her, would pretend to have such deep feelings for her.

The still awake Ning Xiaoxiao naturally smelled the wine on Lu Qing's body. No, to be exact, from the moment Lu Qing's footsteps sounded at the door, Ning Xiaoxiao had entered a state of combat and had her nerves stretched taut.

If he ignored the smell of the wine on Lu Qing's body, then he would be no different from his usual self. He gently carried the little bun from Ning Xiaoxiao to the bedroom and laid him down beside her.

Ning Xiaoxiao held her breath and let out a long sigh. The bed next to her sank down and Ning Xiaoxiao soon heard Lu Qing's heavy breathing. Only after a while did she heave a sigh of relief.

"You …"

Suddenly, Lu Qing hugged Ning Xiaoxiao from behind. The smell of the wine wafted from Lu Qing's body. Ning Xiaoxiao felt that she was like a drunk person, and her eyes turned hazy.

Lu Qing hugged Ning Xiaoxiao without saying anything. Ning Xiaoxiao did not speak and the two of them just quietly hugged each other. Lu Qing did not dare to ask or answer because he was afraid. Ning Xiaoxiao was speechless.

After a long while, Lu Qing sighed deeply.

"Xiaoxiao, go to sleep!"

Ning Xiaoxiao nodded. She lit up her tears and they fell down. As they dripped onto Lu Qing's arm, Lu Qing felt that it was burning hot. It was definitely a coincidence for him to be with Ning Xiaoxiao back then. If he hadn't gone to the party, he wouldn't have met the Ning Family's eldest daughter and wouldn't have gotten married afterwards.

Lu Qing's voice was low and deep. In the silent night, it was more like a sonata issued by a cello. Along with the faint smell of alcohol, Ning Xiaoxiao felt an itch in her own throat.

That night, although Ning Xiaoxiao and Lu Qing interacted as usual, Ning Xiaoxiao still stood at the door as a wife and did her duty. Lu Qing was still spoiling Ning Xiaoxiao like a good husband, but both of them knew in their hearts that the bridge in their heart was locked onto each other, and the further they went, the more it separated them.

The little bun didn't notice the abnormality between his father and his mother at all, but as a person who had experienced it before, Mama Li was quite perceptive.

"Madam, have you been in a bad mood recently?"

Ning Xiaoxiao liked to have some afternoon tea on the balcony in the afternoon. Mrs Li intentionally toasted Cookie and placed it on the table. Ning Xiaoxiao nodded towards the sunlight, indicating that Mrs Li should also sit down.

"This is how a young couple should be like, having a quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed! How can there be a smooth sailing path in this world, and how can there not be an awkward couple! "

Mother Li's words were sincere and Ning Xiaoxiao had listened to them as well. However, there were many things that one could not understand just by listening to them.
