The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 387 Are You Lying to Me?

"Have you finished all the company's affairs? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up at the airport." Ning Xi was a little surprised to see him.

"You've had enough trouble taking care of Ruoxing while I'm away these few days, so I won't ask you to make another trip."

Lu Xiu's smile was still gentle, and Ning Xi couldn't see anything wrong just by looking at him.

What she didn't know was that Lu Xiu came back without saying hello on purpose just to see if Gu Huaijing would take advantage of the situation.

Ning Xi saw that his hair was a little messy due to the wind: "Have you not eaten yet?"

Lu Xiu curled his eyes at her and said, "I was in such a hurry to come back to see you and the child that I didn't have time to eat."

In the past, Ning Xi would only feel sorry for him because of his hard journey. But the "coincidences" that happened repeatedly in the past two days made her feel a little strange when facing Lu Xiu.

"Ruoxing, your aunt is watching over you here, so go eat something first."

Lu Xiu slowly held her hand and whispered, "Will you come with me?"

"……Um."

The two of them went to the restaurant downstairs. Lu Xiu asked for the menu: "...In addition to these, I want a bowl of abalone and lean meat porridge, without the green onions and ginger. Thank you."

They are all Ning Xi’s favorite dishes, and they also take into consideration her dislike for onions and ginger.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Lu Xiu is a gentle, considerate and impeccable husband. But these are not enough to offset the doubts in her heart.

"Xiao Shi?" Lu Xiu noticed that she was distracted and asked softly, "...Are you too tired recently?"

Looking at the concerned look on his face, Ning Xi quietly tightened her knuckles.

"Ash, I want to ask you something."

Lu Xiu seemed to have sensed something, and his heart skipped a beat.

"……you say."

"These past few days, not only Doctor Lou from the clinic, but also other people have mistaken me for Ning Xi. Some of them even showed me photos."

Lu Xiu blurted out: "Who is it?"

"Is this important?" Ning Xi paused, "The point is that Miss Ning does look exactly like me, and even the time she disappeared is the same as the time I lost my memory... Ah Xiu, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Lu Xiu never thought that these words would actually come from Ning Xi's mouth.

Even though hundreds of thoughts had already passed through his mind, the expression on his face remained calm.

He sighed a little helplessly: "Xiao Shi, we have lived together for so long, and you still ask such a question. To be honest, I am very sad."

"I don't mean to doubt you. I just need a reasonable explanation." Ning Xi lowered her eyes. "A few days ago, I vaguely felt that I seemed to have elders when I was a child. But didn't you say that I was an orphan?"

Lu Xiu choked for a moment, then said: "Xiao Shi, maybe you have been under too much pressure recently, so you tend to think about random things."

This argument did not stand up to scrutiny, and Ning Xi quickly rejected it again.

"No way, are you lying to me?"

He put down his knife and fork. Even though there was a storm in his heart, his face remained calm, with only a hint of helplessness between his brows.

"Why do you think of me like this? Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's wait until Ruoxing recovers. So what are your plans?"

His gaze was unflinching, and there was no sign of anything unusual. Ning Xi couldn't help but waver a little, wondering if she was too tired and overthinking recently.

If Lu Xiu was really hiding something, why would he be so nice to her?

"...Now the miracle doctor has been invited. I want to wait until the child's illness gets better, and then find a chance to have a good chat with Miss Ning's family."

Lu Xiu lowered his eyes, trying to conceal his dark thoughts without leaving a trace. If he refuted at this time, it would only arouse Ning Xi's deeper suspicion.

"Okay, when the time comes and I ask you clearly, you will know that what I said is true."

Where Ning Xi couldn't see, his fists tightened quietly under his sleeves.

We shouldn't have let Ning Xi come back in the first place, and now this mess has happened.

We can't stay here for even a day longer.

Fortunately, he returned to China this time just to take Ning Xi with him, so he was well prepared.

Lu Xiu immediately took out his cell phone and sent a message to his subordinates.

Ning Xi saw that he was so busy, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is there something going on at the company?"

"It's okay, it's been taken care of." He brushed it off as if nothing had happened, and scooped a small bowl of soup for Ning Xi, "Eat first."

After dinner, the two returned to the ward, and Ning Xi told him all the precautions that the miracle doctor had given him.

"Especially this cardiotonic drug, you must not use it again recently."

Lu Xiu's eyebrows moved: "Then I'll put it away now, don't mix it with other medicines."

During the time that Lu Ruoxing was in a coma, she needed to be turned over and patted on the back regularly every day, and Ning Xi did this personally.

"Let me do it, you go and rest." Lu Xiu gently held her wrist.

Ning Xi just shook her head: "The doctor said Ruoxing needs to pay special attention to her skin recently. I'm not that delicate, so I can still do this little thing."

Seeing her skillful and smooth movements, as if she was already used to it, Lu Xiu had an idea.

Ning Xi loved Lu Ruoxing so much that he treated her as his own daughter. This child was his bargaining chip.

After the whole process, Ning Xi's wrists began to ache, and the fatigue from not getting enough sleep in the past two days came back to her.

Lu Xiu went outside and poured her a cup of warm water: "Come, have a drink."

Ning Xi didn't think much about it. As she watched the glass become empty little by little, a mysterious light flashed in Lu Xiu's eyes.

It is a colorless and odorless drug that takes effect very quickly.

Sure enough, five minutes later, Ning Xi fell asleep on the bed.

Lu Xiu took out the cardiac stimulant liquid he had just collected and fed it all into Lu Ruoxing's mouth through the stomach tube. If she didn't do this, her current body would not be able to withstand the bumpy journey.

Looking at the child's pale face, Lu Xiu murmured to himself.

"Hold on a little while, everything will be fine once dad takes you home..."

At the same time, on the other side, City S.

Wen Mochen returned home in a hurry. Without even taking a breath, he called James and Wen Qingqing and drove to City A.

Several people felt as if they were dreaming. James even pinched himself hard. After confirming that it really hurt, he was overjoyed.

"Hiss... This isn't a dream, we're really going to see Xiaoxi!"

Wen Qingqing's eyes turned red with excitement. She reached out and patted his shoulder: "Silly boy, since it was Xiaoyu who gave you the news, it must be correct."

Before coming, they had already spoken to Gu Huaijing on the phone and asked him to ask Miss "Qiao Shi" to come out so that they could have a face-to-face chat.

Wen Mochen, who has always been steady, now feels a little nervous and timid.

Several people came to the hospital with great expectations, but they were disappointed.

"What did you say?" James asked anxiously, "Isn't her daughter hospitalized here? How could she suddenly disappear?"
