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

Chapter 369 It’s Gu Huaijing!

Lu Xiu put his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.

At first, Ning Xi thought he was just drunk and clingy, so she laughed and said, "Do you want to be a large pendant? Okay, let me go, I still have to make soup for you."

"I don't want to drink anymore." Lu Xiu rubbed his ears with hers, his warm breath sprinkled on her earlobe. The suppressed emotions were no longer controlled under the catalysis of alcohol, "I miss you so much..."

The slender knuckles slowly caressed the waist, and the tiny kisses fell on the neck like raindrops, and the slight itch meandered from there all the way to the tip of the heart.

Ning Xi's face flushed when she realized what was going on. It turned out that Lu Xiu was going to...

This was far beyond what she could accept.

She quickly pressed Lu Xiu's wrist. Afraid of waking the child, she had to lower her voice: "Ah Xiu, you, you are drunk... Let me go..."

Although Lu Xiu was almost a perfect husband, handsome, rich, gentle and considerate, she was also grateful for his care.

But Ning Xi still couldn't accept doing that thing now, not to mention that her daughter was still sick, so she had even less energy to do it.

However, Lu Xiu remained unmoved. His deep, magnetic voice led him to chuckle.

"We are husband and wife, isn't this normal?"

"But I'm not ready yet..."

Ning Xi struggled but failed. Seeing that Lu Xiu would not listen no matter what she said, she had no choice but to raise her voice a little and bent her elbow to hit back.

"Lu Xiu...! You promised to respect me!"

"hiss--"

The just right amount of pain made Lu Xiu sober up a little. He pressed his forehead and then moved his arm away from Ning Xi.

As soon as the restraints were released, Ning Xi quickly distanced herself from him, as if she was afraid that he would do something else.

Without waiting for Lu Xiu to speak again, she handed him a bottle of milk and went back to the house.

That night, both of them tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.

The next day, Ning Xi deliberately avoided Lu Xiu's morning wake-up time and waited until he left before getting up to prepare breakfast for the children.

Thinking about the atmosphere last night, she felt it was too awkward and didn't know how to face Lu Xiu.

However, it was the weekend, and Lu Xiu came back quickly with a bunch of beautiful lilies in his hand.

"Xiao Shi." Lu Xiu called her softly and handed her a fresh bouquet of flowers. "I'm sorry, I was not feeling well and drank too much yesterday... Don't worry, I will never go back on my promise."

"Please forgive me this time."

Ning Xi took a look and found that it was the scented lily that she casually said she liked when she was shopping the day before yesterday.

Lu Xiu was sincere and got drunk for work, so how could Ning Xi have the heart to blame him?

She took the bouquet and lowered her head to sniff it. "Then don't do this again next time."

Seeing that her attitude had softened, Lu Xiu said softly, "Next time if I drink again, I will just stay overnight at the hotel. But I'll have to trouble you to ask the driver to pick me up, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up..."

Ning Xi was amused by the way he spoke exaggeratedly with a serious face: "It's not that serious!"

While chatting and laughing, the knot in my heart completely disappeared.

Lu Xiu then breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still regretting his recklessness last night, and at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little lost.

They have been together for so long, but Ning Xi still can't accept being his real wife.

Lu Xiu had no choice but to assume that she was just slow in temper and told himself not to be impatient.

I thought the atmosphere between the two of them had eased back to normal, but what Ning Xi said next once again broke the tranquility of the early morning.

"Oh, there's something I haven't told you yet." Ning Xi put the flowers into the porcelain vase and said slowly, "Yesterday I heard on the Internet that there is someone in City A in China who can cure Ruoxing's disease. You are busy with work, so I plan to take Ruoxing there in a couple of days to have a look."

Lu Xiu’s eyes darkened.

"Which expert is it?"

"A doctor named Wen Zhanling, but he has passed away. I went there to look for his granddaughter."

This name set off alarm bells in Lu Xiu's heart.

He took all precautions and brought Ning Xi across the ocean, hoping to start over. Unexpectedly, he still had a connection with that place.

Without hesitation, he said, "Xiao Shi, you'd better not go. It's not reliable to find out about it online. I haven't even heard of this person. I'm afraid I'll meet a scammer."

"It shouldn't be. That family's child has the same disease as Ruoxing." Ning Xi took out her phone and showed him the chat history and collected information. "This Doctor Wen was also very famous. Look."

"No."

Lu Xiu looked at the information and said in a deep voice, "It's too unsafe for you and Ruoxing to go to such a far place. Besides, you don't even know who his granddaughter is. Can hearsay be comparable to the top experts we interviewed?"

The smile on Ning Xi's face slowly froze, "How can you know it won't work if you don't try it?"

Unexpectedly, a bucket of cold water was poured on my face.

Lu Xiu just said: "Xiao Shi, you think things are too simple."

Ning Xi couldn't help but let out a sigh and looked at him seriously.

"My injuries have healed now. I am a normal adult with basic judgment. In your eyes, am I so stupid that I can't even leave your protection?"

She really didn't understand why the sensible Lu Xiu would suddenly become stubborn every time he mentioned going on a long journey.

This question made Lu Xiu not know how to explain it. He had too many secrets that he couldn't tell.

"I just think there's no need to make you travel so much in vain..."

"Okay." Ning Xi put the last flower into the vase, and her good mood just now disappeared. "No matter what, I have to try my luck. This is about Ruoxing's life. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."

Seeing that she couldn't communicate with Lu Xiu, she simply stopped talking and turned back to her room.

Broke up unhappily.

However, Ning Xi obviously underestimated Lu Xiu.

Every time she packed her luggage and prepared to go to the airport with her children, she would be stopped at the gate. Lu Xiu seemed to have the ability to read her mind and always knew her every move.

Being blocked once again, Ning Xi couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Lu Xiu was still friendly and said, "I will find another expert in this field for Ruoxing. Xiaoshi, don't waste your time."

It was the first time she realized how stubborn Lu Xiu was. No one could convince him of anything he had decided on!

After calming down, Ning Xi chose a roundabout tactic.

These two days, she seemed to be persuaded. She put all her clothes back into the closet and stayed at home obediently.

Seeing that her attitude had softened, Lu Xiu couldn't help but feel happy: "Xiao Shi, have you figured it out?"

"Since you said that, what else can I do? ... Anyway, you know a lot, so you can't be wrong."

There was a hint of dependence and helplessness in his words, so real that Lu Xiu didn't think much about it.

More importantly, he didn't have time to think about it.

Because he just learned that there was a problem with the cooperation between the group and Magaya Company. The two companies had dealt with each other three years ago. Logically, Lu Xiu had the most advantage among all the interested parties.

But someone happened to interfere.

“Which company is our competitor?”

The assistant on the other end said cautiously, "It's... it's the Gu Group in City S, China."
