Chapter 501: Chapter 499 Lu Xia Getting the Certificate 5_1

"No, I’m just reflecting on my own behavior just now," Lu Tingli gently stroked her hair.

"How could I be so selfish to let you give up everything to have children for me during your golden years."

"Eat quickly."

He urged, his handsome face showing not the slightest hint of anger but instead endless tenderness and forbearance.

It wouldn’t be too late for her to have children for him after she fulfilled her dreams.

Moreover, she was still young, and having children now really was a bit too early.

And they needed to spend more time as a couple, having children would be a hindrance.

"Lu, you’re so kind, you really are the best man in the whole world!" Xia Ningxing threw herself into his arms.

Lu Tingli held her, his chin resting on the top of her head, his gaze soft and gentle.

"Hurry up and take your medicine, we still have to go select clams later."

"Right, right, right! How could I forget that!"

Xia Ningxing stopped dawdling and immediately picked up the water glass, downing the medicine in one gulp.

...

The first floor.

The gilded hall was now filled with people.

In the center were several long tables, each covered with several large basins filled with clams.

The gray and dull clams were either tightly closed or slightly ajar.

But even the slightly open ones didn’t reveal whether they contained pearls or not.

Since the pearls were hidden deep inside, they could only be discovered after opening.

At this moment many people were gathered around the tables selecting, some of them silently praying they would be lucky enough to choose one with a pearl.

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli also walked over.

"Pick mine too," Lu Tingli whispered in her ear.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but look up at him: "What if I’m unlucky?"

"What does it matter, as long as you like it, I can give you countless pearls," Lu Tingli said casually.

If any other man had said this, Xia Ningxing would have thought he was just trying to please his girlfriend, but Lu Tingli was speaking the truth.

With a nod from her, Xia Ningxing believed he could have someone deliver a pile of pearls to her the next day.

Crazy!

But she liked it!

"Cling tight to the rich man’s thigh!" Xia Ningxing said playfully.

"Wait for tonight," Lu Tingli said in a low voice.

Even though he spoke softly enough for only two people to hear, Xia Ningxing still felt her face burning.

"That’s not what I meant!"

Xia Ningxing explained.

Lu Tingli: "An explanation is a cover-up, a cover-up is the fact!"

"Shameless." Xia Ningxing squeezed out two words.

"Chief Lu, and Chief Lu’s partner, you’re here!" At that moment, the Base Commander’s wife came over, holding Xiaoyu by the hand, her eyes twinkling while looking at the two: "I don’t know how to address Chief Lu’s partner?"

Xia Ningxing introduced herself: "Hello, Base Commander’s wife, my last name is Xia, you can call me Miss Xia or Xiaoxia."

Before the Base Commander’s wife could speak, Xiaoyu raised her little head and snorted: "So you’re also surnamed Xia, do you think an ugly woman like you who doesn’t even dare to show her face deserves to share the same surname as our Baby Xing?"

Xia Ningxing sharply twitched the corners of her mouth.

May I ask, why isn’t she worthy of sharing my last name!?

"Xiaoyu!" The Base Commander’s wife’s face immediately darkened, giving him a warning glare.

Still vividly recalling the beating he took last time, Xiaoyu deflated like a punctured ball, pouting his lips and saying no more after being reprimanded like that.

"I’m so sorry." The Base Commander’s wife forced a bitter smile, "In that case, we won’t disturb you and your spouse any longer. Take your time choosing."

With that, the Base Commander’s wife quickly dragged Xiaoyu, the troublesome boy, away, fearing he would offend someone again.

"What a brat," Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but huff, "I must find an opportunity to reveal my stunning beauty in front of him and personally expel him from my fan club!"

She threatened playfully.

Just wait and see if that brat isn’t shocked then!

Lu Tingli couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, that’s settled!"

At that moment, someone called out to Lu Tingli, "Chief Lu, you guys should hurry up and pick, otherwise all the good ones will be gone."

After Lu Tingli nodded toward the person, he began picking clams with Xia Ningxing.

After looking around, Xia Ningxing chose two clams that were both small and ugly.

"These are the ones."

Xia Ningxing decided with finality.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but shake their heads:

"Mr. Lu and his partner, I can guarantee you with absolute certainty that these clams will not produce pearls."

"Exactly, they’re so young given their size. Even if there are pearls inside, they’re probably more like gravel."

"You really should pick another two!"

"Yes, switch them."

Everyone tried to persuade her in a chorus.

Xia Ningxing knew they all meant well, but she shook her head nonetheless.

"No, I’ll stick with these two."

Even though they didn’t look like much, she had a hunch that these two clams might surprise her.

Worst-case scenario, if they didn’t yield anything, the meat of these small and tender clams would taste better than the bigger ones.

Seeing that she wouldn’t be swayed, everyone clicked their tongues and said no more.

Xiaoyu, who had popped up from who knows where, had two clams almost bigger than his own head in his hands. He jutted out his chin and rolled his eyes at Xia Ningxing, "You woman, just wait for nothing to come out of them!"

"Really?" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, glancing at the ones he held, "I have a feeling that it’s yours that won’t yield anything."

She wasn’t fooling him; she genuinely had that premonition.

"You’re talking nonsense!" Xiaoyu became agitated at the thought that she dared claim his clams wouldn’t produce pearls, glaring fiercely at her with his wide eyes.

All of a sudden, Xiaoyu seemed to have an idea, his eyes craftily twinkling, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"A bet on what? Let’s hear it," Xia Ningxing raised an eyebrow.

"Xiaoyu! Why are you picking on Miss Xia again?" The Base Commander’s wife hadn’t expected her son to be troubling Xia Ningxing again just because she went to the restroom. Fuming, she intended to take him away

"We’ll bet on whether I can find a pearl in this one. If I can, then you have to remove your mask and let everyone see once and for all if you’re really an ugly woman. If mine doesn’t yield one, I’ll follow whatever you say."

"Deal," Although betting with a child was quite silly, for the sake of an enjoyable vacation at sea, Xia Ningxing decided she must personally teach this wild brat a lesson.

"If you don’t find a pearl, I want you to stay away from me and stop bothering me!" Xia Ningxing put forth her own condition.

"Ok! No problem!" The brat readily agreed.

Afterward, he called over a professional to open the clams.

"Uncle, could you please open this one for me?" he handed over the biggest clam he had.

At the same time, Xia Ningxing also picked one and handed it over, "Thank you, master."
