A moment of awkward silence passed.
Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and just mustered the courage to say in front of Lu Tingxiao, "Miss Ning, thank you for saving me! Also, I'm sorry! Before this, on the mountain, I didn't mean to push you off me. I really didn't know that you were trying to save me! Sorry! I'm so sorry..."
Even Lu Tingxiao knew that things had not been that simple. With Ning Xi's agility, she was only helping Lu Xinyan, so she would not have fallen off and after he heard this, his expression was instantly chilled to the core.
Lu Xinyan was just a young lady who could not handle Lu Tingxiao's pressure. Her body was shaking all over. She was so frightened that she could pass out any minute.
Ning Xi indicated to Lu Tingxiao that she would resolve the matter herself, then she touched her bandage-bound wrist and looked at Lu Xian, laughing grimly, "Hehe, lil girl, you almost cost me my life. Just saying that you didn't mean to and that you're sorry, do you really think that's enough? If your apology was useful, what are the police for?"
Lu Xinyan bit down hard on her lower lip nervously and looked miserable. "I'm willing to accept all the consequences!"
Ning Xi stroked her chin in contemplation. "Hmm, willing to accept all consequences? You said it yourself..."
"Yes...I-I did...to kill me or to scrape my flesh as you wish!" Even though Lu Xinyan stiffened and showed that she was reluctantly offering herself to be hit or killed, her trembling body clearly exposed her panic.
At that moment, numerous scary imaginations had already crossed Lu Xinyan's mind.
This woman definitely won't let me off the hook easily...
As she shook with hopelessness, Lu Xinyan looked to her cousin to beg, yet she was met with sinister eyes even scarier than Ning Xi's!
Fine! I shall just submit to death! To die in this woman's hand would be better than in Cousin's hands!
"Just...just say it! What do you want me to do?" Lu Xinyan tightened her hands into a fists and asked.
Ning Xi pretended to hem and haw, contemplating it for a while before she eyed Lu Xinyan and said faintly, "Call me 'Cousin-in-law'!"
"W-what...?" Lu Xinyan's face went blank as she stood there bewildered by what she heard. She was stupefied for a while before it dawned on her.
Was...was Ning Xi's request...just that?
Ning Xi's brows raised as she urged, "Didn't you say I could kill or cut off your flesh as I please? What's wrong? Regretting it now?"
After putting her emotions through such a rollercoaster ride, Lu Xinyan's entire body shook even more and her tears could not help but roll down as she drooped her head low. She cried as she said in a shaky voice, "Cousin-in-law..."
When she heard this, Ning Xi finally nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, this issue will come to an end. Thanks to you, I had an exciting day and it was quite fun!"
Ning Xi then dragged the scary-looking Lu Tingxiao away.
Exciting? Quite fun?
Lu Xinyan and Lu Tingxiao were both speechless.
After they entered the living room, Ning Xi decided to take the lead and she pushed Lu Tingxiao onto the sofa for a kiss.
Lu Tingxiao naturally guessed her naughty little thoughts, so he held on to her slim waist and kissed her hard...
A long while later, Lu Tingxiao pressed his lips to the girl's slightly swollen lips. "Very exciting? Very fun? Hmm?"
Ning Xi suddenly looked like she was about to cry. "You're still bringing that up?"
She thought that her actions could temporarily resolve the danger!

Lu Tingxiao stared at her with a darkened expression. "What do other people's lives have to do with you?"
Ning Xi cleared her throat. "Hey, that's your cousin! It's not very nice for you to say that."
"Even if it was me, I don't allow to do such things!"
"That's nothing...I've dabbled in way more dangerous things than this back then. What happened today was a totally small case. I wouldn't do things I'm unsure of..."
She had explained till her mouth went dry, yet Lu Tingxiao remained stiff as a rod. Ning Xi could not help but cry on the inside. She had gotten the upper hand and made Lu Xinyan apologize, but now it was her turn to be in the pits.
Ning Xi persisted in rubbing her hand against the man's chest and said, "Don't be angry, okay? Next time, I'll really be good and stay beside you. I won't just run off!"
Lu Tingxiao indicated that he did not trust her at all.
Ning Xi felt like her words did not carry enough weight, so she murmured, "Then, what can I do to appease you?"
Lu Tingxiao looked at her with darkened eyes, not saying anything.
Ning Xi's eyes lit up. She suddenly thought of something. "Hmm, don't be angry, alright...husband?"
Lu Tingxiao was speechless.
You win!
Half a month went by since that incident had happened.
Since then, Ning Xi's life had been significantly affected...
The worst thing was the devil's maddening and random style of safety education. The other thing was that her apartment had gotten so filled up that she had nowhere to stand. It was filled with all sorts of hampers, expensive clothing, makeup and those sort of things. There was even a pair of nunchucks, a soft sword, and other weird things like guns and knives...
The hampers with tonics were sent by Mo Lingtian and Guan Ziyao while the clothes and makeup were sent by Lu Xinyan. As for the nunchucks, sword, and knives, those were given by Shi Xiao and Xiong Zhi.
She knew why most of them had sent her those things, but she was really confused about Shi Xiao and Xiong Zhi.
Why were these two suddenly trying to win her favor?
Ding dong! The sound of the doorbell was heard.
Ning Xi opened the door and noticed Shi Xiao and Xiong Zhi at the door again. These two tall and strong guys held sausages and smoked goose in their hands.
"Lady Boss, this is our hometown's specialty, try them!" Shi Xiao's words were eager and careful. He now kept calling her "Lady Boss" and his attitude was entirely different from the initial arrogance he had displayed the last time.
Xiong Zhi echoed, "Lady Boss, try them! If you like it, we'll bring more for you the next time!"
Ning Xi sighed and leaned against the door. "The both of you, please just be direct! Stop beating around the bush. Are you still senior leaders?"
Shi Xiao and Xiong Zhi glanced at each other, then decided to be straightforward after some contemplation. Shi Xiao started, "Lady Boss, can you let us bros protect you?"
Ning Xi raised one brow. "Protect me? Are you sure?"
When they recalled the Lady Boss's valiance, Shi Xiao silently wiped off the beads of sweat on his brow. "Lady Boss, I know our shooting skills can't compare to yours, but in terms of agility, while we might not be the best, we're still two of the top few!"
"I've already finished shooting my show," said Ning Xi.
Shi Xiao quickly replied, "Exactly! Exactly because you're done the shooting, you'll need us! Lady Boss, when you're popular and you're always surrounded by your fans and reporters when you go out, you definitely need bodyguards! When that happens, can you speak to the Boss...and use the two of us?"
Ning Xi's mouth twitched. These guys...when did they learn to brown nose...?
"Then let's speak again when I'm famous!" Ning Xi said casually.
Did...did this mean they had a chance?
Shi Xiao and Xiong Zhi looked at each other again, suddenly feeling very emotional. They both agreed, "Lady Boss, you'll definitely become famous!"
Ning Xi was speechless.
Thank you so much for your confidence in me....
