The four men looked over at the same time as they heard the noise not too far away. This caused Ning Xiaoxiao's originally happy mood to turn gray like the sun on a sunny day.

However, there was one person who was just the opposite of her. Seeing the four men sitting there, the sickly little bun that was originally still angry from getting up suddenly seemed as if he had been injected with chicken blood, excitedly wanting to rush over.

However, his hand was tightly clenched by Ning Xiaoxiao. Wanting to act as he pleased was not that simple. The little bun tried to break free from his mommy's grip, but to no avail.

The little guy raised his head in confusion and glanced at Mommy's eyes. It would be fine if he didn't raise his head, but once he did, the little bun immediately stood obediently by Mommy's side, not daring to move.

Normally, no matter what he did, his eyes would always be filled with gentleness. But now, it was as if a dark cloud had settled in his eyes. It was so dark that he couldn't see her expression nor her emotions.

The little bun had never seen Ning Xiaoxiao like her before. Back then, he had been so intimidated that he could do nothing about it.

The little bun, who had been intimidated by such a gaze, no longer tried to shake Ning Xiaoxiao off. Instead, he tightly leaned against Mommy, his eyes roaming around the four men's bodies.

Ning Xiaoxiao probably did not realize that her emotions had affected the little bun. She lifted the corner of her eye and saw Lu Qing frowning and shaking his head slightly, as if he was hinting at something to her.

At first, Ning Xiaoxiao did not understand the reason behind Lu Qing's actions. She thought that he was just trying to attract her attention, so she chose not to glance in that direction.

She smiled and nodded at Bi Ichen. It could be considered that she had greeted him. On the side, Lu Qing didn't seem to be willing to let her ignore him at all. He still didn't give up and continued to act for her.

Lu Qing placed his hand on Bi Yichen's shoulder and clenched his fist. Ning Xiaoxiao had naturally noticed Lu Qing's hard work in adding fuel to the fire.

Originally, she didn't plan to care about him, but amidst the firelight, she seemed to suddenly understand Lu Qing's intentions. Only then did she lower her head, noticing that she was tightly grabbing onto the little bun's hand, and her little hand just stood there, unmoving.

Ning Xiaoxiao held the little bun's hand in a vexed manner before patting it gently. She squatted down and began to caress the little bun's aching hand in an attempt to relax his pitiful state of mind.

The frightened little bun in front of them was like a person suffering from amnesia. Having been comforted by his mother, he had long forgotten about the pain. Seeing that her mood was also good, he immediately ran towards the four men like a wild horse.

Ning Xiaoxiao could only shake her head helplessly. At the same time, her heart was filled with guilt. She had originally intended to give her child the best possible childhood.

Back then, when she decided to get divorced, her mental state was already in a bad state. However, when she faced little bun, her mental state was never in disorder. Ning Xiaoxiao believed that even if her parents were divorced, it would not affect the healthy growth of her child.

As long as her parents were able to behave normally in front of their children, her earlier performance clearly did not match her expectations. She did not want the little bun to be affected by her at all.

By the time the little bun ran over, the situation had turned extremely awkward. Ning Xiaoxiao stood in her original spot, not wanting to interact with these people at all. However, the little bun was already gone.

As Ning Xiaoxiao stood on the spot, at a loss for words, Shao Xuan had already stood up and walked over.

He pulled her by the arm and dragged her into the pavilion before pressing her down on a stool at the side of the pavilion. He had given Ning Xiaoxiao a way out of this predicament.

Xiong Jin, who was standing at the side, gave Bi Yichen a meaningful look. He thought that Bi Yichen would take action, but he didn't expect that the person who acted intimately was actually Shao Xuan.

He had just stretched out his arm to tease Bi Yichen, but now his arm could only stay in the air awkwardly. He looked at the situation in front of him in a daze, at a loss of what to do.

Of course, Xiong Jin wasn't the only one with a stupefied expression, there was also Lu Qing. It was just that he didn't show it. Since yesterday, Lu Qing wanted to find out who the man Ning Xiaoxiao was.

It was a pity that he could not find any clues after searching for an entire day. Could it be that both men were interested in Ning Xiaoxiao? When this thought appeared in his mind, Lu Qing's heart hung at his throat.

The two men didn't seem to be that kind of person. It was already difficult for them to deal with just one person. If they had to deal with two people, would they still have a chance of victory?

Ever since he had made up his mind, Lu Qing felt that his daily mood had followed every single move of Ning Xiaoxiao's. Now, there was actually such a great crisis.

He looked dejectedly at Ning Xiaoxiao. Today, she had changed into a flowery sweater and her hair was tied into a bun. She looked exceptionally fresh and beautiful. Lu Qing heaved a long sigh in his heart and could not help but blame Ning Xiaoxiao for attracting the love of men.

"Sister-in-law, take a walk?"

Xiong Jin was the first to speak. The atmosphere was filled with an unrelenting awkwardness. He started the conversation first, and only after he finished did Ning Xiaoxiao realize that the four men were looking at a table full of cards.

Thus, she decisively shook her head. She knew how bad her technique was.

As he was the only woman present and Xiong Jin was talking to her just now, Ning Xiaoxiao did not notice that there was anything wrong with his address.

However, the name 'Xiong Zu' caused quite a stir in the hearts of the other men. Upon hearing the words' sister-in-law ', the remaining three men looked towards Xiong Zin with doubt in their eyes.

Xiong Jin shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He didn't know whether the woman in front of him was Bi Yichen's or Shao Xuan's. However, he was too lazy to figure it out.

No matter who she was, calling her 'sister-in-law' wasn't wrong.

Now that the previous line had broken the tension, the atmosphere was no longer as awkward. Xiong Jin took out a cigarette from his bosom and lit it up. He took a deep drag and blew a smoke ring in Ning Xiaoxiao's direction.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have a car to go back tonight, right? In this round, whoever wins will get him! "

After Xiong Jin made his suggestion, everyone fell into silence. Xiong Jin raised his eyebrows. Since there was no objection, then he would assume that everyone had tacitly agreed, and his hands were already starting to shuffle the cards.

Ning Xiaoxiao felt incomparable regret. If she had known that she would run into this group of men, she would have gone up the mountain through another entrance. What was going on now?

Why did it become a wager in the men's mouths? It wasn't easy to play with the little bun, so he didn't let them worry.

Although Lu Qing appeared to be relaxed, he was actually extremely nervous in his heart. From the moment Xiong Zu had called out for his sister-in-law, Lu Qing's heart had already been in turmoil.

He knew that the reason why he called her sister-in-law earlier was not because of him. Fortunately, he put forward a more constructive suggestion, so he would treat the unintentional act before as one of innocence.

It had been a long time since he and Ning Xiaoxiao had been alone. If he won tonight, he could send them back to the city, which would be a great opportunity. Firstly, it was because everyone was present that Ning Xiaoxiao could not refuse, and secondly, he could send Ning Xiaoxiao back in person so that no one would doubt him.
