At Platinum Palace, Ning Xi was still lively on the outside, but after Lu Tingxiao brought her back, her energy seemed to have been drained entirely. She simply did not want to move at all.
Lu Tingxiao carried her down from the car, then took her all the way upstairs before carefully putting her to bed. He helped her take off her coat, and immediately checked for any wounds on her.
It was a good thing that she was obedient this time. It did not matter how the others had been beaten up because she was just fine with no wounds at all. Her fair and smooth fingers were intact as well. That bloodstain on her fingertip earlier was probably not hers...
Thus, Lu Tingxiao was not even angry at all.
Mmm, very good.
Ning Xi withdrew the finger that he kept checking and held his face. She was humming indistinctly, "Baby, you light up my world...the way that your beauty gets me overwhelmed..."
