Chapter 664: My Dear, What Kind Of Wife Do You Like?
Hidden Marriage
A dead silence hung across the banquet hall.
However, the phrase "my dear" was deafening enough to Lu Tingxiao.
"This isâ¦Madam Lu?" someone finally asked after a while.
Lu Tingxiao stood up and walked towards the girl, his cold eyes staring right at the girlâs injured legs. "Why arenât you wearing any shoes?"
Ning Xi avoided his sharp gaze. "I didâ¦but it brokeâ¦"
Lu Tingxiao held her in his arms quietly.
Ning Xi put her hands around his neck naturally, then she glanced at the people in the banquet hall and asked softly, "Did I do something wrong? My dear, why arenât you saying anything?"
She was scared! She had just woken up from her sleep and had not done this on purpose!
Ning Xiâs adaptation to the situation was so quick that she was already comfortable addressing Lu Tingxiao as "my dear". She did know how much of an impact her casual words brought to Lu Tingxiao.
Lu Tingxiao straightened his back and turned to everyone. "Iâm sorry, my wife isnât feeling well. Please excuse us."
Everyone smiled. "Itâs alright, CEO Lu! Donât mind us!"
"Of course! Your wife is certainly more important!"
"I see now itâs true that men who love and care for their wife are the most reliable ones!"
â¦
Everyone broke into excited chatter after Lu Tingxiao went away with Ning Xi in his arms.
"I would never expect Lu Tingxiao to make such a big deal just for a woman, but it seems that he really loves her! Thank God that nothing happened to her. Otherwiseâ¦"
"Thatâs weird, isnât Lu Tingxiao single? Where did his wife come from? Iâve been wanting to ask since just now!"
"Itâs not unusual for people to get married in secret. It's even more common for people like Lu Tingxiaoâ¦"
"Ah, my daughter has been missing Mr. Lu since the last time she saw him. I didnât expect him to be married already!"
"There probably wasnât any chance for your daughter anyway!"
â¦
In the bedroom.
"Ah! Madam Lu! Where did you go? I was so scared!" The nurse had just gone out for a while and Ning Xi was already gone when she returned to the room, so she panicked.
"Itâs alright, let me do it," assured Lu Tingxiao.
"Oh, alright!" The nurse glanced at Lu Tingxiao shyly and left the room.
Lu Tingxiao lifted the sheets and lay Ning Xi on the bed gently.
Ning Xi asked, "Boss, was I smart enough just now to catch on to you?"
Lu Tingxiao squinted his eyes at her. "Not smart enough to cover your mistake."
Ning Xi looked down at the sheets. "I really barge in on purposeâ¦"
"Why did you get up when youâre still feeling unwell?" Lu Tingxiao vented. How could she still run around with injuries on her legs?
"Ugh, I had a nightmareâ¦"
Lu Tingxiao sighed, then he explained, "To be able to rescue you this time, I had to lie and say that youâre my wife. So, during our stay here, you might have to act as one. But it wonât last long. Weâll go back as soon as you feel better."
"No problem! Acting is my profession after all!" Ning Xi reassured him, "I can act as any kind of wife you like!"
