Chapter 428: Chapter 426: Third Sister-in-law Ruanruan 2_1

"Lu Tingli?"

Seeing him, Xia Jiehao couldn’t help but tug at the corner of his mouth. So this lunatic was him.

"Big Bro," Lu Tingli called out flatly. Though he was addressing someone else as brother, the powerful aura he exuded made him seem like the actual elder brother.

Xia Jiehao: "..."

Immediately after, Lu Tingli’s gaze fell upon Xia Ningxing: "Hand Baby Xing over to me."

"Oh...oh..." Without hesitation, Xia Jiehao handed her over.

It wasn’t until he had taken her away that Xia Jiehao realized.

How could he just hand his sister, drunk to the point of incoherence, over to a grown man in the middle of the night like that! Was that the right thing to do?

"Lu Tingli! Get back here!"

Xia Jiehao, fearing that he might take liberties with his sister, hurriedly rushed after the car.

But how could two legs ever outrun four wheels? Before long, Lu Tingli’s car disappeared from sight.

Gasping for air, Xia Jiehao: "..."

In the car.

Lu Tingli had actually seen the scene of Xia Jiehao chasing the car but paid no heed.

At the moment, his attention was all on driving and Xia Ningxing.

"Drunk to such an extent!"

Seeing her slumped in the seat, completely sloshed, he frowned, and spotting a pharmacy nearby, he quickly stopped the car to buy her some sobering medicine.

"Baby Xing, open your mouth."

Lu Tingli had the pill and lukewarm water ready.

However, Xia Ningxing, completely inebriated, was utterly unconscious and wouldn’t open her mouth.

The frown on Lu Tingli’s brow deepened, and he eventually took the medicine into his own mouth, then with his long, distinct fingers pinching her chin, personally fed her the medicine.

Although Xia Ningxing was dead drunk, her defenses were still up.

Feeling someone approaching her, apparently harboring dubious intentions, Xia Ningxing instinctively wanted to hit out, but as soon as she sniffed the familiar scent, she immediately let down her guard, mellowing like a cat being stroked the right way, letting Lu Tingli handle her.

Lu Tingli gently fed her the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Xia Ningxing’s mind cleared a bit. Rubbing her eyes, she opened them and saw Lu Tingli right before her. She was startled at first, then closed her eyes again with a bitter smile.

"Why am I dreaming again? Lu is still at the research institute; how could he be here right now..."

She murmured, touching her forehead.

Hearing her words, a pang of sourness hit Lu Tingli’s heart.

He immediately stretched out his arm, drawing the girl into his embrace: "This isn’t a dream, I’m back."

Knowing she was going to receive an award, he had hurried to complete his research, hoping to attend her award ceremony, but he was late in the end.

By the time he got there, the event had already ended, and he could only come to the celebration banquet to find her.

Xia Ningxing, nestled in his arms, was momentarily startled.

"It’s really not a dream?"

Xia Ningxing asked, then, without thinking, tried to pinch herself. Lu Tingli, sensing her intention, quickly grabbed her hand, his tone gentle, "Don’t pinch yourself, pinch me."

Xia Ningxing: "..."

She didn’t pinch, but instead raised her soft fingers to gently caress his face: "Yes, this isn’t a dream, it’s real, you’re back."

Her voice was chirpy and buoyant, like a little sparrow hopping on a telephone wire.

Her eyes, hazy from the alcohol, were filled with joy, and then she wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.

"Do you still have to go?"

After a pause, Lu Tingli seemed reluctant to say it, but in the end, he nodded: "After I drop you off at home, I’ll have to go back."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing immediately looked up: "You’re going back so soon? Did you rush over just to see me?"

Lu Tingli nodded: "You could say that."

"Then why bother coming, you’re wasting so much time running back and forth!" Xia Ningxing was deeply moved, she pushed him away, quickly fastened her seatbelt and urged, "Hurry up and drive me home, then rush back."

If she wasn’t certain that he wouldn’t let her take a taxi alone, Xia Ningxing wouldn’t even want him to drop her off.

It was nearly eleven o’clock at night now. If he went back, and after showering and all, it would probably be one or two in the morning. And with work at six o’clock the next morning, how many hours could he even sleep?

"I missed you."

Lu Tingli let out a sigh, revealing his true feelings.

Those four words suddenly made Xia Ningxing’s heart warm, her eyes slightly moist, she cursed silently, "Idiot."

"Lu," she turned her head back, looking at his face, "Once I win the Oscar for Best Actress, fulfilling Lu Fan’s dream as well as my own, I’ll retire. From then on, wherever you are, I’ll be there, and we’ll never be apart again."

Although she had previously said she didn’t care about being an actress and just wanted to be a capitalist, a salted fish, deep down she really wanted to give it a shot.

Before, she had only won domestic best actress awards, and had never achieved the highest accolade in the industry—the Oscar for Best Actress.

Lu Tingli’s gaze was gentle, resting on her belly: "Would you have children for me then?"

Xia Ningxing’s face turned red, but she nodded very affirmatively: "I will! Of course, I will!"

Although she didn’t want to have children now, she definitely would in the future.

"Then it’s a promise."

Lu Tingli squeezed her hand.

The night was deep and the autumn wind was sharp, yet there was an unexpected warmth.

After dropping Xia Ningxing off at home, Lu Tingli drove back.

"Lu, be safe!"

Xia Ningxing stared in the direction he left for a long time.

"Stop looking, he’s far gone."

Her third brother forcibly pulled her into the house, still holding a grudge.

The next day.

At breakfast, Xia Jiehao glanced at his third brother and suddenly said, "Jiehao, you’re not getting any younger, you can’t stay single forever. I have an old classmate whose daughter, I’ve seen her picture, is very beautiful and graduated from a prestigious university. I’ve taken the liberty to arrange a blind date for you, and you’ll meet the lady today."

"The address is at Elegant Cafe, table number 22."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing choked.

Her dad had actually arranged a blind date for her third brother!

This time, it really was a well-intentioned act gone awry!

"Cough cough cough!" Xia Ningxing’s face turned red from choking.

"Bao’er! Eat slowly!" Mrs. Xia couldn’t help frowning, and quickly patted her on the back, then poured her a glass of water.

Xia Ningxing soon recovered, and quickly waved her hand at her mother: "I’m fine, Mom."

"Be careful." Xia Jiehao also shot a tender glance at Xia Ningxing, then looked back at the third brother: "Third brother, what do you think?"

The third brother had a constipated look: "Dad, thanks for the kindness, but I already have someone I like."

"..."

Everyone fell silent, looking at him in surprise.

"Since when have you had someone you like? Why haven’t you mentioned her before?" Mrs. Xia was stunned, then looking at the calm Xia Ningxing, she finally understood why she had choked just now.
