"Dad, do you think my cloak is cool?"
When Lu Qing returned home, Ning Xiaoxiao did not wait outside her house as usual. On the other hand, little bun was standing at the door dressed in Batman attire.
"What about Mommy and Mama Li?"
While changing his clothes, Lu Qing glanced into the kitchen.
The little bun also saw his father's actions. He was extremely dissatisfied with his father's lack of affirmation towards his appearance.
"Mommy hasn't come back yet. Grandma Li has to leave first! I ate at school. "
The little bun angrily answered all of Lu Qing's questions and went upstairs to play. Because Ning Xiaoxiao and Mama Li were not at home, the lights downstairs were only half turned on. In the half-darkness, it was impossible to tell how lively the house was before.
Lu Qing was holding a phone in his hand. He had already called Ning Xiaoxiao many times, but the responses he received were all female voices, "The number you've dialed is temporarily off the hook!"
As Lu Qing passed by the dining table, Mama Li prepared a table full of dishes as usual, but Lu Qing was the only one there. Lu Qing merely glanced at the dining table.
Thinking of the face Ning Xiaoxiao had on when she left this morning, coupled with the restlessness she had felt all day, Lu Qing pushed open the little bun's door.
"Did your mommy …"
"Iron Man!"
Just as Lu Qing pushed open the door, the little bun forcefully swung his cloak around and touched Lu Qing's pants.
"Cloak? "Cloak!"
Lu Qing muttered, "It's a cloak." Suddenly, Lu Qing thought of the crux of the problem. He released the little bun's door and ran into the cloakroom, rummaging through the box hidden under the cloak.
"Eh, wasn't it Mommy who found the cloak?"
Seeing Lu Qing so excited, the little bun also followed Lu Qing to the cloakroom and casually said this. He didn't expect this sentence to make Lu Qing's face turn black.
"Mommy has seen this cloak?"
"Yeah, it's just that Mommy said I can only wear it when I grow up!"
Little bun didn't know what this cloak meant. He just treated it as an ordinary object, trying his best to restore the scene from that day to his father.
Lu Qing's eyes were immersed in cold ink as he stared at the box in front of him, as if he wanted to burn a hole out of the box. No one knew what was in the box better than Lu Qing, so Lu Qing also knew the reason why Ning Xiaoxiao was in such a bad mood these past few days.
"It's me!"
Xu Mo didn't find it strange at all when he received Lu Qing's call in the middle of the night. Ever since Ning Xiaoxiao had come to look for him, Xu Mo had been waiting for Lu Qing's call.
"She knows!"
Lu Qing remained silent over the phone for a long time before he finally told Xu Mo about Ning Xiaoxiao seeing the box.
Xu Mo stood on the balcony and looked at the neon lights outside. They were still brightly lit at night, and he didn't know what to say to Lu Qing. After all, no matter how brightly lit the lanterns were, they couldn't illuminate the hearts of some people.
"She's with me!"
After Xu Mo had finished speaking, Lu Qing became even more silent. The two men each had their own thoughts, and it was also true that neither men nor women could escape from the mundane affairs of the world.
"Then thank you for taking care of her!"
"Lu Qing, if Xiaoxiao asks, I will tell her!"
Xu Mo was silent for a while before finally revealing his thoughts to Lu Qing.
"En!" Lu Qing agreed without thinking. Rather than being afraid that she knew, he might as well tell her the truth. Regardless of whether Ning Xiaoxiao had lost her memories or not, she had the right to make a choice.
However, what caught Xu Mo and Lu Qing off guard was that the truth always appeared in front of Ning Xiaoxiao in a way that they did not expect. Furthermore, it was extremely cruel.
Ning Xiaoxiao went to Golden Age the next day after she got up. Lu Qing should be at the company during this time period, so she wanted to have a good chat with him. No matter what the two of them had experienced, it was time for them to have a good chat.
Ning Xiaoxiao paid the taxi fare and the moment she got off, she saw that Golden Age's entrance was packed with people. She curiously went up to see what was going on and was immediately discovered.
"It's Ning Xiaoxiao!" It was unknown who shouted, but everyone at the entrance of the Golden Age turned to look at him.
"Miss Ning, as your ex-wife, will you attend Director Lu's wedding next month?"
The first reporter squeezed forward and threw a question to Ning Xiaoxiao. The reporters were all patiently waiting for Ning Xiaoxiao to speak.
Ning Xiaoxiao stood there in a daze, as if someone had pointed at her. She did not even have the chance to roll her eyes. She was going to digest this news. This news about her husband, who was hugging her to sleep, was about to get married to someone else.
When the reporters saw that Ning Xiaoxiao did not answer, they assumed that she did not want to answer the question and decided to try another one.
"Miss Ning, you were the one who married CEO Lu and Miss Ye all those years ago. Was there any hidden story?"
The reporter did not ask too many questions and her attitude could be considered gentle. If it was the 24-year-old Ning Xiaoxiao, she might have laughed it off. She politely smiled at the reporters and said, "It's not certain who will win!"
However, the 17-year-old Ning Xiaoxiao from her memories was still too young. Two questions had already pushed Ning Xiaoxiao into a bottomless abyss. So it turned out that his was Xiao San, whether it was in a relationship many years ago or in a marriage many years later.
"Mom Li, if Madam comes back, don't let her watch the newspapers and TV!"
For the past 27 years, Lu Qing had been receiving a pampered education. However, this time, he was truly flustered; he should be the one to tell Ning Xiaoxiao the truth, and not anyone else.
The photo of him and Ye Yutong in the car park had been leaked by the media today, along with the news of their wedding being delayed. As a result, everyone's suspicions were focused on Ning Xiaoxiao.
After all, many years ago, Ning Xiaoxiao and Lu Qing had a previous record regarding their marriage. It was reasonable for everyone to place their gazes on her now that the wedding date had been extended.
"CEO Lu, it's too late!"
Lin Yi came in with the PDA and showed the monitor to Lu Qing. A large number of reporters surrounded Ning Xiaoxiao. Seeing Ning Xiaoxiao in the PDA, Lu Qing clenched his hands into fists, the veins on his temples slowly bulging out!
Normally, she didn't feel that Ning Xiaoxiao was thin, but today, she looked so thin that she was almost on top of Ning Xiaoxiao's head. The reporter had coiled around Ning Xiaoxiao's hair and wanted to pull her out.
Lu Qing's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light. He threw the Pad into Lin Yi's hands and went directly to the elevator.
