"Li Hanting, do you love me?"
Her voice suddenly rang out in the room.
It was like an icicle that instantly awakened his burning soul.
Li Hanting's sexy lips stopped two centimeters away from her. His deep eyes gazed at her, and his heroic eyebrows slightly creased.
"You don't love me, do you?" Ning Xia didn't miss the complicated emotions in his eyes. Although she didn't understand what it was, she could tell it was definitely not because of love.
Li Hanting stared at her for a few seconds before he frowned and sat up with his back to her, sitting on the edge of the bed.
His body retreated like it was tearing down a thick wall, and the cold air gushed in, causing goosebumps to appear on her arms.
Ning Xia also sat up and pulled up her torn collar.
"Sorry, I drank too much tonight. You should go to sleep first." After Li Hanting finished, he added, "I can't drive after drinking. We'll go back to the car tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't touch you again."
He got up and went to the bathroom.
Ning Xia looked at his disappearing figure and suddenly felt relieved. Afterwards, her heart felt a bit sour. She always knew that he didn't love her, but she unexpectedly felt uncomfortable just now.
Ning Xia was startled by this feeling.
She could not let her thoughts run wild!
She was going to leave this place, though later than planned.
Isn't it good to be like this? Everyone should make it clear, only then can we leave without wasting time.
In the bathroom.
Li Hanting stood under the falling petals with furrowed brows. Ice-cold crystalline droplets of water landed on his tensed back, splattering in all directions.
The feeling Ning Xia gave him was too much like Lin Ruo, to the extent that sometimes he even thought she was Lin Ruo.
But when she asked him if he loved her, he could not answer.
Love?
He had only loved Lin Ruo.
Don't you love it?
He was once again deeply attracted by her. He wanted to touch her, approach her and even desire her. He would bring her to do the foolish things he would only do when he was with Lin Ruo. For example, bringing her here in the middle of the night …
Lin Ruo's figure appeared in his mind, gradually changing back into Ning Xia's face. Two completely different faces took over each other, tormenting his nerves.
"Bam!"
Li Hanting punched the wall!
When the heat in his body subsided, he pulled a towel over his body and opened the door, walking out.
In the guest room, Ning Xia had already fallen asleep.
Her sleeping appearance was very ugly. At this moment, the blanket had been crumpled into a ball by her. One of her legs was propped carelessly on the outside, while her petite body took up more than half the bed's space.
Even this kind of bad habit was the same as Lin Ruo's damn habit!
He walked over and stuffed her legs into the blanket, then pulled the blanket over her. After covering her, he picked up the suit that fell on the ground and took out a cigarette case from inside it, walking towards the balcony.
"Whap."
A flame lit up on the pitch-black balcony, and it quickly disappeared. Li Hanting stared at the peak of Solitary Mountain in the darkness.
"..."
When Ning Xia woke up, the outside of the window was already bright with light. She sat up and looked around, somewhat at a loss.
Li Hanting wasn't in his room. Had he left?
She lifted the blanket and got off the bed. Suddenly, a figure walked into the room and was startled.
"It's me. Get ready, it's time for us to go back." With that, Li Hanting turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Ning Xia looked at his back in shock. It was obvious that Li Hanting was angry.
Did anyone provoke him early in the morning?
Seeing that it was getting late, Ning Xia lifted her quilt and got off the bed. When she passed by the balcony, she suddenly saw something. Her eyes flashed and she immediately widened her eyes in astonishment.
The floor outside was littered with cigarette butts. These were all smoked by Li Hanting last night.
Ning Xia had never seen Li Hanting smoke before, so she had always thought that he didn't have this habit.
Why did he smoke so much?
Was it because he was in a bad mood, or because of what happened last night?
"What are you doing?" Li Hanting's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Ning Xia's whole body shook. When she came back to her senses, she nervously grabbed the curtain and turned her head, revealing a smile. "Nothing much. I just realized that the morning scenery here is really beautiful."
"Yes."
"En!" Li Hanting indifferently turned around to change his clothes.
He must have known she'd seen cigarette butts all over the floor, but he wouldn't say.
Of course, Ning Xia couldn't really ask.
She couldn't say: Did you smoke because of what I said last night?
She could not say such awkward words.
After washing up, the two went downstairs to have breakfast, then left together.
The morning air in the mountain stream was so fresh and refreshing that the sounds of birds chirping could be heard from far away, but unfortunately, they did not stop to admire the beautiful scenery.
Li Hanting had been silent since the morning. He had basically entered a golden state. The two of them walked in silence, with an invisible awkwardness surrounding them.
They did not speak along the way, but stopped in front of the manor's entrance.
Ning Xia pushed the door open and got off the car. She saw Mrs Zhang's hurried steps as she ran out. She anxiously said, "Young Master Li, Miss Ning, you've finally come back!"
"What is it?" Li Hanting frowned slightly.
Mrs Zhang: "It's Yao Yao, he …"
"Yao Yao?!" Suddenly, Ning Xia's complexion greatly changed. After hearing that something had happened to Yao Yao, she dashed towards the door.
Li Hanting frowned and followed him with large strides.
Ah!
Just as he walked through the door, he suddenly heard the terrifying scream of a woman.
A white figure ran out from the front with quick steps as if something was chasing from behind.
"You bad woman! Don't run! Stop right there! " Afterward, Yao Yao rushed out from inside while wearing a Pikachu pajamas. He held a water gun in his hand and continuously sprayed water at the figure.
"Didn't you bully my mommy!? How dare you frame her! You bad aunt! I'll teach you a lesson today! "
Ah!" "Little bastard, do you believe that I'll hit you?!
"Come! "Let's see who will hit who!" Yao Yao shouted as he sprayed water at the figure. With his tight face, it was as if he had met an enemy he loathed the most. With all his might, Yao Yao fired at full speed, rendering the figure unable to dodge.
Ning Xia was stunned for a moment. She recognized the person who had been sprayed with water. Her eyes darkened, and she quickly walked over to the little guy, who was about to chase after her. "Yao Yao!"
Mommy?" Yao Yao raised his head and looked at her with some surprise. When he saw Li Hanting standing at the doorway, a glint flashed across his eyes. With a smile, he loudly said, "Mommy, you and Uncle Li went out on a date. Did you have a good night?
Ning Xia originally thought that something had happened to Yao Yao, but seeing that he was safe and sound, she heaved a sigh of relief. She awkwardly turned to look at the door.
Li Hanting looked at them indifferently and did not speak.
The little guy purposely said that to anger Lin Wan Ting. As expected, the hatred in Lin Wan Ting's eyes grew as she quickly walked toward Li Hanting and cried, "Young Master Li, did you see that? That kid bullied me like that! He actually used a water gun to spray me, and made me wet! "
"Puff …"
A chuckle suddenly sounded in the garden.
Ning Xia couldn't help smiling as she looked at Lin Wanting. It wasn't that she didn't have sympathy, but that she really couldn't bear it any longer.
