The woman smiled without saying a word. She tilted her head and looked at Lu Qing carefully, "I just didn't expect that you would attend such a banquet!"

The woman's words were said with familiarity. Lu Qing felt that the two of them should have known each other before, but there really was no one in his memories who would use such a tone to talk to him.

Lu Qing pursed his lips in silence. The woman didn't seem to mind whether Lu Qing knew how to speak or not. After a dance, the woman bowed to Lu Qing as usual and walked into the crowd with a blink of an eye.

"Sure, brother!" Han Mu Chen walked over and patted Lu Qing's shoulder. His eyes couldn't help but watch the woman's back as she left.

"If it wasn't for the fact that you already have an owner, I would really suggest you try. Your eyes are really good-looking!" Han Mu Chen stroked his chin as he couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Qing. If this pretty girl wanted a goddess, Prince Xiang would have no dreams.

"Boring!"

Lu Qing shook off Han Mu Chen's hand on his shoulder and coldly rolled his eyes.

"Everyone, quiet down!"

Amongst the crowd, the small mustached man stood on stage with a smile on his face as he looked at the guests. He spoke in a low and easygoing tone, giving off a refined feeling.

"An Hai's famous old fox, Ning Weishan!"

Han Mu Chen came over from behind and wrinkled his nose to wake Lu Qing up. His tone was unconcealable as he snorted disdainfully. However, Lu Qing did not make a sound as he stared at the girl following behind Ning Weishan.

"Ning Weishan's daughter is not someone to be trifled with!"

Of course, Han Mu Chen also noticed the woman. She wore a pure white dress and had a harmless face, but the craftiness in the corner of her eyes couldn't be concealed.

It was obvious that Han Mu Chen did not recognize the woman behind Ning Weishan.

"What are you laughing for?"

Han Mu Chen had a bitter face and looked at Lu Qing in annoyance. Being forced by his father to come to this useless party, he didn't have any interest for the whole night. The only surprise was that cat girl with beautiful eyes, and the person he fancied was still his brother.

The woman behind Ning Weishan had obviously noticed the gaze of Lu Qing on her face, so she playfully blinked a few times at Lu Qing. Lu Qing did not anticipate that there would be an additional person dominating his life ever since.

Memories always cost a person's life. Lu Qing closed his eyes painfully. They were both of them in the office last time. Ning Xiaoxiao struggled to hold back her tears as she looked at each other speechlessly. Fate had long been decided by accident, but fate was also one of the things that everyone easily overlooked.

In the afternoon, when the sun was at its brightest, Lu Qing opened the door to his house. He did not go home for a week, as if his house still smelled the same.

Lu Qing stood at the door and surveyed the house. He wasn't sure what Ning Xiaoxiao was doing, nor did he know if she was still here. After staying outside the door for such a long time, Lu Qing felt that he had never had this kind of conflict in his life. He hoped that she wouldn't be here again.

Soon the sound of slippers could be heard coming from the house.

When Ning Xiaoxiao came out from the small garden, she saw Lu Qing standing at the door of the living room. For a moment, she was slightly stunned as she stood there stunned. Lu Qing was even holding a cigarette in his hand.

"He's back!"

It was Ning Xiaoxiao who spoke first to break the stifling silence.

"Hmm, come get me some clothes!"

Ning Xiaoxiao nodded and glanced at Lu Qing. He was probably busy with the matter of the marriage and looked much more haggard than a week ago. Thinking that Lu Qing was going to marry someone else soon, Ning Xiaoxiao felt a stab in her heart.

"Did you bring the dirty clothes?"

Ning Xiaoxiao controlled her emotions and tried her best to make the conversation as normal as possible.

"Lin Yi sent it to the dry cleaner." Lu Qing took a drag of his cigarette and controlled his tone. The two of them spoke to each other carefully, so it was only natural that they could sense each other.

A wave of sadness instantly filled Ning Xiaoxiao's heart. She was like a wife that was preparing her husband's luggage as she earnestly went to the cloakroom to pick out Lu Qing's clothes.

Actually, she didn't have much to choose from. Lu Qing's clothes were originally arranged neatly, and she had only placed them neatly in the luggage.

"When you wear this blue shirt, match it with this silver grey suit!"

Ning Xiaoxiao packed Lu Qing's luggage again and again while detailing the details of the match in her mouth. She was extremely similar to the wife of the husband on a long journey. However, the two of them knew clearly that it was not the same thing.

Lu Qing leaned against the door frame of the cloakroom. "Xiaoxiao …"

"Listen to me!"

She knew what Lu Qing would say to her next. However, this was already her last chance. She did not know how she would feel after so many years, but the 17-year-old Ning Xiaoxiao really did fall in love with this man at such a miraculous moment.

"I know it's wrong to stay in your house, but I still haven't found a place to stay, so I'll have to trouble you first!"

Although Ning Xiaoxiao said that Lu Qing felt wronged, it was as if she had eaten gallbladder. Ever since Shao Qiyu died, Ning Xiaoxiao had relied on herself for everything and rarely relied on anyone. She finally chose to rely on someone, and it was the husband of someone else.

"Xiaoxiao, that's not..."

Just as Lu Qing wanted to explain that it wasn't what he meant, he couldn't say the words that came out of his mouth. Ning Xiaoxiao's trembling shoulders had already exposed her weakness. Lu Qing felt that whatever he said now was like salting a wound.

"Xu Mo is busy again. I might have been working in a hospital before, but my father is in the United States."

Ning Xiaoxiao spoke incoherently, as she did not know what she wanted to express.

"It's alright, you can stay here with little bun for now!" Lu Qing thought that Ning Xiaoxiao was too strong and wanted to explain her plight to him. That was why he took the initiative to help Ning Xiaoxiao.

However, what Lu Qing said sounded extremely ironic to Ning Xiaoxiao, confirming Ning Xiaoxiao's earlier guess. Because of the divorce, Lu Qing probably did not even want the little bun anymore. That made sense. He was about to find another beautiful mate, so he would naturally have more children. It was also a good decision for the little bun to follow him.

Ning Xiaoxiao wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. "I'm a little tired, let's go and rest!" She took a deep breath, circled around Lu Qing, and walked out of the cloakroom.

Lying on the bed, Ning Xiaoxiao's heart raced. Lu Qing pushed open the bedroom door and did not return for a week. The bedroom was still the same as before and it was filled with the fragrance that belonged to Ning Xiaoxiao.

Lu Qing was also lying on the bed. He was hugging Ning Xiaoxiao from behind, carefully sniffing the smell on Ning Xiaoxiao's body. Ning Xiaoxiao closed her eyes tightly and stopped thinking about why Lu Qing was hugging her.

After all, it wasn't right to be tangled up with a girl. Furthermore, she was no longer alone. First of all, after Lu Qing remarried, the place where she and the little bun lived became a big problem.
