The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 365 Ning Xi, where are you?

Lu Xiu took her around the villa so that she could familiarize herself with every location.

"This is Ruoxing's room. The one next to it... doesn't it look familiar to you?" Lu Xiu turned around and asked.

Ning Xi looked at it carefully and said truthfully: "I don't have much impression, but it is very delicately designed."

Lu Xiu smiled and said, "This is our bedroom."

He pronounced the word "we" very lightly, as if there was endless ambiguity and tenderness in it.

Ning Xi couldn't help but feel her ears burning. Lu Xiu's words were too easy to make people think too much.

"Given my current situation, this is not appropriate..."

"I know. So from today on, this is your room." Lu Xiu changed the subject and moved closer. His warm breath filled Ning Xi's ears as he spoke. He whispered, "But I also hope that we can return to the way we were before."

Ning Xi's cheeks turned completely red now, and she turned and ran away to hide her embarrassment.

"I...I'm going to go see Ruoxing!"

Like a frightened deer, he ran away as fast as he could.

Lu Xiu raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, laughing at Ning Xi's genuine cuteness at this moment, which was much more friendly than her usual steady and self-controlled attitude.

At the beginning, he never thought that as an ally of Guo Haipeng, he would end up falling in love with Ning Xi, who was from the opposing camp.

Guo Haipeng described every member of the Wen family as extremely evil, but Lu Xiu was gradually moved by her beauty and kindness during their interactions. Besides, she herself did not participate in the explosion that year.

He finally realized why he felt so bad when he knocked Ning Xi unconscious that day. In addition to guilt, there was also a throbbing emotion at work.

Thinking of the anxious and worried looks of several families during the search and rescue in Tongluo Town, Lu Xiu let out a long sigh.

Now Guo Haipeng is dead, and everything has returned to dust.

No one will disturb him and Ning Xi anymore.

……

Ning Xi didn't know that there were many people thousands of miles away who were worried about her.

Ning Xi had not been found for a long time, and everyone assumed that she was dead. Although the search and rescue operation was still going on intermittently, the Wen family first built a cenotaph for her, at least to let her soul rest in peace.

The funeral was held in a grand manner. In addition to Ning Xi's friends, prominent figures in City A also spontaneously showed up to pay their respects.

He Zhao lost his former high spirits and was immersed in grief. Ji Yunxu was also unable to maintain his usual calmness and composure. As soon as he reached Ning Xi's tomb, he choked and shed tears.

Dark clouds hung low over the city, and the shadow of grief hung over everyone, lingering.

Gu Huaijing was wearing a black suit with a white flower pinned to his chest, and he also brought people to mourn.

Wen Mochen noticed him immediately after he finished his speech.

It wasn't that he was paying attention, it was just that Gu Huaijing was too conspicuous. The man who used to be dignified and self-respecting, with a cold temperament, now had a pale face and thin lips that were almost bloodless due to his inverted work and rest schedule.

He is clearly a young man, but he looks even more haggard than Rong Qingyun and Gu Yanyu standing beside him.

Even if he and Ning Xi had many grievances in the past, the past is gone with the wind. Wen Mochen was really shocked by his appearance and couldn't help but go over to remind him.

"Mr. Gu, I want to thank you on behalf of Xiaoxi for all the efforts you've made for her these days. But you have to take care of yourself. You look exhausted now."

Rong Qingyun wiped the tears from his eyes and advised: "Huai Jing, if your body is damaged, it will be difficult for you to find Xiao Xi in the future."

Gu Huaijing slowly put down the iris in his arms and looked at the photo on the tombstone with sadness in his eyes.

In the photo, Ning Xi has long hair draped over her shoulders and is smiling slightly, as if she is still standing vividly in front of us.

But now when he stretched out his hand, he couldn't touch anything. When he thought of this, his fingertips trembled with heartache.

During this period, he traveled between City A and City B, often going to Tongluo Town to supervise in person during the day and rushing back to handle company affairs at night, with only a few hours of rest time.

This looked even worse than crying and shouting. The whole person was depressed, like a shaky body that was holding on but was about to collapse.

Wen Mochen sighed unconsciously: "I know Xiaoxi, if you sacrifice your health, she won't be happy when she knows it."

Gu Huaijing's eyebrows moved slightly.

Thinking back to when he was injured before, even when they were having a conflict, Ning Xi would still considerately bring him plaster. She really always considers others.

I really hope Ning Xi can give him a lecture and ask him to take care of his health.

Gu Huaijing's nose felt sour, and his eyes were filled with tears, even though he never showed weakness in front of outsiders. He just tried hard to hold back the tears.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "...I will know my limits."

He gently stroked Ning Xi's portrait, his movements and eyes were both gentle and nostalgic.

Ning Xi, I will definitely take you home.

Time flies, and Ning Xi gradually adapts to life on Lanka Island.

Not only were the Lu family members considerate of her, but the local residents were also very simple-minded. Especially when Ning Xi took her children out to play, she would often receive various snacks and small toys from passers-by, and they would usually say, "Oh, she looks really cute!"

After half a year of getting along, Ning Xi had already found a way to get along with Lu Ruoxing, and really treated her as her own daughter.

Hearing the child being praised, Ning Xi smiled with curved eyebrows and reached out to touch her nose: "Just now that aunt praised you for being cute. Our Ruoxing looks so good, who does she look like?"

Lu Ruoxing raised her head proudly, her two pigtails swaying: "Of course I look like my mom. My mom is the most beautiful person in the world—"

Lu Xiu reached out and rubbed her head, jokingly saying, "Little brat. Why do you only look like your mother and not your father?"

"Well, Dad, you're going to mess up my hair!" Lu Ruoxing covered her beautifully coiffed hair and thought for a moment, "I'm a girl, so I must look more like my mom. When mom and dad give me a little brother, that little brother will definitely look more like my dad."

In fact, Lu Ruoxing is more like Lu Xiu. She is an orphan among Lu's relatives, and Lu Xiu adopted her.

But he really liked to hear this.

Lu Xiu raised the corner of his mouth, squatted down and touched the little girl's soft cheek: "Ruoxing, tell Dad, do you really want a brother?"

While speaking, he glanced at Ning Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

"I think, I can only play house with Barbie dolls. If I have a younger brother, I can take him to eat delicious food and play with a skateboard..."

Lu Ruoxing has already started counting on her fingers and imagining the beautiful scene after her younger brother is born.

"The child is still young, why ask her this?" Ning Xi coughed lightly and glanced at Lu Xiu with a bit of reproach, as if blaming him for talking nonsense, "Ruoxing, come to your mother."

The smile in Lu Xiu's eyes became even more intense.

Compared to the reserved state when she first arrived, Ning Xi is now completely natural and relaxed.

If we continue in this direction, everything will go smoothly...
