Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Don’t You Want to See Me_1

As she rushed up to him, Xia Ningxing excitedly asked, "Lu, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to come back in five days?"

While speaking, she lifted her delicate face, looking up at him.

Today, Lu Tingli was dressed in a dark blue research institute uniform, looking proud and tall as a pine, with straight long legs. The trousers of his uniform didn’t have a single wrinkle, and his leather shoes were shiny.

Light and shadow fell under the brim of his hat, the cheeks of his face had shed their youthful air, his features becoming more chiseled, like sculptures, gradually maturing and becoming composed.

As the girl looked at him, he was also looking at her, his obsidian eyes brimming with laughter.

He spoke, "Don’t want to see me?"

"No, not at all, how could I not want to see you? You have no idea how happy I am to see you, so happy I could almost fly right now!" Xia Ningxing immediately shook her head, without a moment’s hesitation, the words flying out of her mouth as she gazed at him with starry eyes.

"Are you really that happy?" A smile appeared on Lu Tingli’s face as he raised his hand to gently poke her nose, answering her previous question, "The research project ended ahead of schedule, so I came back early."

His fingers were long and attractive, well-defined knuckles—a lot bigger than before, giving a sense of security.

"I see." When the big boy touched her little nose, Xia Ningxing’s cheeks instantly turned a light shade of red, her plump lips pursed slightly, as a girl’s shyness quietly surfaced.

Over the years, their relationship had gotten much better.

So much so that it was like what people say—more than friends but not yet lovers.

Of course, Xia Ningxing didn’t dare to have wishful thoughts about the big shot. She felt it was an honor to be childhood friends with him already.

It is worth mentioning that despite being immersed in scientific research most of the time, this male lead was soaring in the business empire as well, as if he was on an unstoppable roll.

Perhaps this was the legendary protagonist’s halo. Unlike her, who didn’t even merit a name in the novel, not even ranking as a supporting cannon fodder character.

Without comparison, there would be no harm!

"Get in the car, I’ll take you home." While Xia Ningxing’s mind wandered in all directions, Lu Tingli’s lips curved up again as he spoke, patting the car behind him.

The car, provided to him by the research institute, was far superior in quality, safety, and functionality compared to ordinary vehicles.

As soon as Xia Ningxing saw the car, she asked with a beaming smile, "Lu, did you get a promotion?"

Otherwise, ordinary researchers wouldn’t be assigned a car.

"Mhm," Lu Tingli nodded.

"Then, are you getting used to it over there?" Xia Ningxing hesitated for a moment before asking guiltily.

If it weren’t for Tuanzi, he wouldn’t have joined the research institute and would have become a more independent consultant instead.

"I’m used to it, and most importantly, I love doing scientific research. Don’t overthink it. Even without your brother, I would still have joined the research institute to contribute to Star Shine’s development," said Lu Tingli, knowing her for so many years as childhood sweethearts, he could easily tell what was on her mind and couldn’t help but pat her head.

"That’s good then." Xia Ningxing finally lifted her head and smiled at him.

After getting home, Xia Ningxing saw her older brother practicing in the swimming pool in the yard.

"Bao’er, in a few days, your big brother is going to compete again." Seeing his sister return, the older brother burst out of the water, removing his goggles, and said to her with a beaming smile.
