C54 Take You to a Place

"Mommy, I feel very warm tonight." Yao Yao raised her head to look at her, her eyes shining brightly.

"What?" Ning Xia didn't understand what he meant.

"When I ate with Uncle Li tonight, I felt very happy. I felt like we were a family."

Yao Yao pursed her lips as a tinge of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.

Ning Xia's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.

Ever since he was born, Yao Yao had lived a superior life. However, what he desired the most was to have a family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stuck close to her, even following her when she was working because his heart desired the company of his family.

If he really couldn't find Yao Yao's father, could Li Hanting be his father? Yao Yao liked him a lot. He seemed to treat him pretty well …

After teasing Yao Yao to sleep, Ning Xia turned off the light and left, returning to her room.

She did not feel sleepy. She walked to the chair by the window and sat down, holding her head up as she stared out at the moon.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Li Hanting's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Ning Xia came back to her senses, turned her head and smiled at him, "You're done with your work? I'm not tired, just sit here for a while. "

Her delicate face was like a blooming nightingale, her familiar eyes brimming with laughter.

Li Hanting narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can't sleep?"

"Yes."

She was a little upset about Arken's call.

"Take you to the screening room to watch a movie?" Li Hanting said.

Ning Xia: "I don't want to see it."

Li Hanting glanced outside the window, "Let's go. I want to take you somewhere."

"Where to?" Ning Xia asked with a puzzled expression.

"You'll know once you get there." Li Hanting said.

They drove through most of the city and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Ning Xia looked at the contours of the mountain range under the night sky and asked in astonishment, "You aren't bringing me here in the middle of the night, are you?"

"We'll know when we get there."

Li Hanting lifted his foot and walked up the mountain.

Ning Xia felt somewhat helpless. She had already come, and even if she wanted to go back now, there was nothing she could do. She could only follow him up the stairs.

Up the mountain was a stone road that wasn't very wide. Every few meters, there was a street lamp, and the shadows of the trees all around. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the dark night was dotted with stars.

As they walked up the mountain, Ning Xia noticed that there were more people gathering around them. Everyone was moving up the mountain in groups of three or four, some of them carrying something on their backs.

They had seen each other during the day, but this was the first time she had seen someone climb a mountain in the middle of the night.

Ning Xia asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Li, is it popular in the country to climb mountains at night?" This was too strange.

Li Hanting glanced at her as if he was looking at a fool.

Ning Xia was stunned. Did she say something wrong?

After walking forward for a bit, Ning Xia couldn't move any further. She walked to a stone bench and sat down. She waved her hand and said, "I can't crawl any longer, I'm not leaving."

"No, we have to go up." Li Hanting said with a frown.

Ning Xia felt somewhat helpless. She looked at the long mountain road and said, "I don't want to go up anymore. Why don't you go up yourself? I'll wait for you here."

The mountain was steep, and by now she was really tired. She didn't want to go any further, and she really couldn't enjoy climbing in the middle of the night. If she had known earlier, she would have preferred to sleep at the manor.

With a determined face, Li Hanting refused to leave. He frowned, walked over, and squatted down in front of her.

"Come up, I'll carry you!"

"Huh?"

"Hurry up!" Li Hanting urged impatiently.

Is he serious?

Ning Xia was somewhat astonished. She didn't understand why he was so determined to take her up the mountain, but since he was willing to carry her on his back, there was no need for her to put in any effort.

Without saying anything else, Ning Xia got up and climbed onto Li Hanting's back.

Li Hanting carried her up the mountain.

His hand trailed beneath her hip.

Ning Xia felt a little uncomfortable as she lightly moved her body.

Li HanTing's body stiffened as he came to a halt. His deep voice sounded somewhat tense, "Don't seduce me. We're outside right now."

Ning Xia was stunned.

How did she seduce him? Did this man need to be so impure? His words were too ambiguous, as if she could seduce him if she wasn't outside, or if he was about to do something.

Ning Xia didn't dare to move for fear that she would be 'seduced' again.

Li Hanting carried her up the mountain.

"Little girl, your boyfriend is very nice to you."

"That's right, that young man is still very handsome. There aren't many men who are as handsome as he is now. You'd better hurry!"

"It's better to be young, it's really enviable."

The blissful combination of the handsome man and the beautiful woman caused the people beside to steal gazes of happiness from their good will.

Li Hanting didn't care about these words. Ning Xia was a little embarrassed as she laid on his shoulder and whispered, "What they said was wrong, right?"

"Yes, you are already a child's mother. Calling you a little girl is indeed wrong."

Li Hanting said indifferently.

Ning Xia was startled, and then her face immediately blushed. She was referring to those people who said that their relationship was that of a man and a woman, okay? But what he meant was … He didn't seem to mind her saying that.

"Hey, look at their boyfriends, they're all carrying them up the mountain! Look at you again! I won't even let you wait for a moment! "

A girl's grumbling voice suddenly came from the side.

He saw a girl sitting on a rock in frustration, while a boy stood on the side and helplessly said no.

Ning Xia was slightly embarrassed. She then whispered in Li Hanting's ear, "Let's hurry up and go."

Her hot breath landed on her neck, bringing with it a numbing throb. Li Hanting's eyes darkened slightly as he frowned slightly. "You seduced me again, huh?"

Her delicate and exquisite body pressed up against his, and she whispered into his ear. This kind of sweet torture was something that even men couldn't resist, so how could he have the heart to walk?

Ning Xia was completely baffled. Why was she seducing him again? She didn't even move!

Li Hanting's voice was not quiet. A few girls beside her heard their conversation and cast envious and ambiguous glances at them. Ning Xia instantly felt somewhat embarrassed and shut her mouth with a reddened face.

She became quiet, but Li Hanting wasn't used to it.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Well, I have nothing to say."

Please, it's not right for her to say it, but it's also wrong for her not to say it. What did this man want her to do?

"Then don't say anymore, sing a song for me."

Li Hanting ordered like a lord.

Ning Xia said, "I can't sing."

"Sing whatever you want, or else I'll put you down and let you go."

Ning Xia was speechless. She was obviously forced to come here, but now she was using this to threaten her!

Compared to others, she obviously didn't want to walk on her own. However, Ning Xia really didn't know how to sing. Only the heavens knew that she was a typical example of a 'five tone incompetence', and her voice didn't match her appearance at all.

"But I'm not good at singing, so I'll sing. Don't say that I'm not good at singing."

"Yes."

Li Hanting indifferently replied.
