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

Chapter 383 Who is lying?

Ning Xi had already guessed that this might be the result, so she sat on the stone bench in the yard. However, she glanced around and found that there were still a few things to do.

Half of the flowers have been watered, and there is still a basket of herbs that have not been harvested and dried.

Since she was free here anyway, she not only watered the flowers, but also loosened the soil.

She didn't know that "Mr. Kongshan" was looking out the window. Seeing Ning Xi picking herbs attentively, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

After Ning Xi packed up all her things, she started watching videos about heart malformations. She had been studying these days so that she could take better care of her daughter.

As time passed, Ning Xi's eyes became sore and she kept looking towards the door.

The door still showed no sign of opening again.

"What have you thought about?" Ning Xi paused and raised her voice, "If you can help, you can propose any conditions."

Before the man could even finish his words or hear anyone's reply, a loud rumble of thunder sounded in the sky.

Looking up, I saw that dark clouds in the distance were slowly gathering towards this side, brushing against the eaves with low pressure, and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily.

At this rate, we have to leave now.

Before leaving, she placed the herbs under the eaves and covered them with a cloth: "Mr. Kongshan, I have placed your herbs here. I will leave first and visit you next time."

The thunder soon became louder, and heavy rain poured down instantly. Although Ning Xi brought an umbrella, the strong wind still made it difficult for her to open her eyes, and her trouser legs were also a little wet.

Before we came, the weather forecast didn't say there would be heavy rain.

She was feeling upset while trying to hold the umbrella against the strong wind.

At the same time, Gu Huaijing, who had parked his car at the foot of the mountain, also noticed that the weather was not right. Without hesitation, he got out of the car with an umbrella and turned to walk up the mountain.

The mountain road was muddy, slippery, and winding, so Ning Xi had a hard time walking. As she was walking, she was tripped by a stone and fell heavily.

"hiss……"

Ning Xi had just recovered and stood up when she heard an unexpected voice coming from not far away.

"Ning Xi!"

Why is it this name again...

Wait, what is that sound?

Gu Huaijing held the umbrella in one hand and helped her up carefully with the other, and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

Ning Xi was so surprised that she was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Gu, why are you here?"

"I heard you were here alone, so I came to take a look." He briefly mentioned the reason, "My car is downstairs, let's talk about it when we get over there."

The violent storm made it almost impossible to move. Ning Xi didn't know how she would have gotten down the mountain in this deserted place if Gu Huaijing hadn't happened to arrive.

When the two got into the car, they were almost soaked. Ning Xi's left leg was scratched and she gasped in pain.

"Wait a minute."

Gu Huaijing took out a small first aid kit from the trunk. He originally wanted to help apply medicine, but after seeing Ning Xi's hesitant look, he came to his senses and handed the thing over.

The two of them are just nodding acquaintances now, and the "Qiao Shi" in front of them still has a fiancé in name.

When he thought of this, Gu Huaijing felt very depressed.

"Thank you." After quickly treating the wound, Ning Xi expressed her gratitude, "If it weren't for your help, I definitely wouldn't be able to get down the mountain by myself."

"You're welcome." His indifferent response was quickly drowned out by the rumbling thunder.

Outside the window, the rainstorm showed no sign of abating, but instead intensified, with water on the ground reaching ankles. The road was foggy and the conditions were very bad.

Ning Xi looked worried: "How can we go back in this situation..."

Gu Huaijing observed for a moment and said calmly: "Wait a little longer, wait until the rain is lighter before leaving, otherwise it will be dangerous."

There is no better way than this.

Ning Xi took out her phone and sent a message to the nurse: "I can't go home tonight, please take good care of Ruoxing. Call me immediately if anything happens."

As she typed the last word, her soaked clothes stuck to her skin, and she shivered from the cold.

Seeing this, Gu Huaijing took his coat from the back seat and put it on her very tactfully. Ning Xi gathered her clothes and said softly, "What are you going to do?"

Even though his clothes were soaked, he didn't seem to care: "I'm not cold."

The heater was on in the car, and the world with heavy rain was isolated outside. In the small space, only two people were left sitting side by side.

Ning Xi couldn't go back to look after the child, so she was inevitably worried. Gu Huaijing was thinking about how to say some things so as not to cause Ning Xi's resistance.

The two of them each had their own thoughts, and there was a subtle silence in the atmosphere for a while.

The chill on her body faded a little, and Ning Xi's tense body relaxed a little. Only then did she have time to glance at the environment inside the car.

In just a moment, her attention was drawn to the small sachet hanging in front of her.

The sachet was exquisite and lovely, embroidered with her favorite pattern of harmonious mandarin ducks. When she got closer, the sweet and distant scent would quietly enter her nostrils.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Gu, this sachet...where did you buy it?"

"...I didn't buy it." Gu Huaijing's eyebrows moved, and his eyes fell on Ning Xi with a hint of expectation, "My wife gave it to me a while ago."

"I heard from Ruoxing that this sachet tastes very similar to the one you made."

Ning Xi couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

Not just similar, they are exactly the same!

The sachets she made were reproduced from ancient recipes, to which a special agarwood fragrance was added, which gave them such a unique scent.

That Ning Xi not only looks similar to her, but even her creative ideas are exactly the same as her secret recipe?

Are there really so many coincidences in this world?

Somehow, many small things are connected together at this moment.

The inexplicably familiar portrait in the Tribulus Clinic, the inexplicably familiar Nanyu Street, and the people who repeatedly mistook her for Ning Xi...

She looked at Gu Huaijing and asked the question of "crossing the line" for the first time.

"That Ning Xi you are talking about, how did she disappear?"

No matter how long it has been, that incident is always a pain in Gu Huaijing's heart.

"Two years ago, she was kidnapped and accidentally fell into the sea. ...Since that day, we have never found her again." There was an undisguised sadness in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him, "Until you showed up, we all thought she was back."

Ning Xi couldn't help but think of the reason for her amnesia that Lu Xiu had told her: he fell off a cliff and injured his head. Now no matter how she thought about it, it seemed wrong...

Seeing a hint of hesitation on her face, Gu Huaijing immediately took out his cell phone and opened the album: "Look."

Ning Xi opened her eyes slightly in shock.

On the screen was a photo of Gu Huaijing and a woman. They were wearing traditional Chinese couple outfits and behaved very intimately.

And the woman's appearance was exactly the same as hers!

She frowned and murmured in disbelief: "How, how is this possible..."

Their eyes met, and there was concern and inquiry in Gu Huaijing's gaze.

"Ning Xi, where have you been all these years?"

Ning Xi didn't know how to sort out her thoughts for a moment. Before this, she was busy worrying about Lu Ruoxing's condition, and secondly, Lu Xiu was there to comfort and explain things to her, so she didn't pay attention to these things.

Now she could no longer explain all this as coincidence. Judging from this situation, one of Gu Huaijing and Lu Xiu must be lying.

She sighed and decided to wait for Lu Xiu to come back and ask him clearly.
