Chapter 7: Big Bun Wants To Pay With His Body

Lu Tingxiao carefully sized up the woman on the hospital bed, scrutinizing her expression to see if it was truly real or fake.

After a long time, he finally believed that she had not known about Little Treasure's identity and circumstances. Only then did he calmly say, "State your request."

"Ah, what request?" Ning Xi did not understand at all what he meant by those three words.

"What my brother is saying is that he's extremely grateful to you for saving Little Treasure, so he's asking if you have any requests!" Lu Jingli looked at her as though to say, you've hit the jackpot.

Ning Xi's brain started to turn, and she said seriously, "Actually, you don't have to thank me. I saved Little Treasure, and in turn, he also saved me. If it wasn't for Little Treasure going out to find someone, I would have still been trapped inside, this in itself, is enough payment."

Although she had indeed saved the young master, how could she dare ask for a reward? The more money one had, the more likely they would become deluded into thinking others were out to get them, especially since this was the Lu family, one of the wealthiest and most prominent families around. It would be good enough they didn't think she had planned all this. Look at how wary Lu Tingxiao was when he was constantly watching her.

To avoid potential problems, it was best to end all relations with them here.

Ning Xi thought her reply was faultless, but Lu Tingxiao still looked dissatisfied. Seeing this, she felt fearful.

Did she say something wrong? Why was this person's face so scary?

"Brother, your expression is so scary, if I didn't know you were trying to repay her kindness, I would have thought you were here for revenge!" Lu Jingli couldn't bear to see a beauty so frightened and couldn't help himself from turning to Ning Xi to say, "My brother doesn't like to owe favors, so please just ask for something! Don't be so courteous!"

Were there people who would actually force requests out of others?

Ning Xi curled her lips. "I'm not being courteous, but really, there's no need. I've only said the truth, if you don't believe me, you can check…"

"No need," Lu Tingxiao said succinctly as his expression already began looking quite impatient.

Lu Jingli opened his mouth. "We've already checked the security camera in the bar storeroom. Little Treasure ran in there himself, and as for you, the manager has already admitted to locking you in there, so don't worry. We don't suspect you of anything, and you did save Little Treasure, so just request something!"

Amazing, now we're back to where we started!

Finally, Ning Xi ran out of ideas, and under Lu Tingxiao's chilling gaze, she gave in and said, "How about… you give me money?"

Don't all rich people like to solve problems immediately with money?

Lu Tingxiao should also be the type to think the same way!

If she didn't want the money, he might even think she had other intentions. If she didn't want money, does she want him?

Right when she believed she had made the right request, Lu Tingxiao's expression turned even uglier.

Ning Xi was about to cry. Why did he have to be so taciturn? Can't you just say what you want to say? Would a few words kill you?

Lu Jingli brushed his nose and translated it. "My brother thinks that it might be a little too insulting to be giving money."

Ning Xi cried in her heart. It's fine, just use the money to insult me!!

The Lu family was too unique, she really couldn't think of a reasonable request at the moment. It was at this point in their stalemate that Lu Tingxiao opened his mouth —

"Marry me."

Ning Xi froze for a second, then began coughing heavily, almost choking herself to death on her own saliva. "Cough cough cough… wha-what did you say?"

After finally succeeding in stopping her coughs, she immediately looked at Lu Jingli.

Second Master, please translate!!!

But this time, it was not just Ning Xi who was stumped; even Lu Jingli was also dazed. "Brother, what did you mean?"


Chapter 8: Don’t You Like Men?

Ning Xi gulped and asked as her body trembled, "Is it because I saved your son that you've decided to repay me with your body?"

Lu Tingxiao inclined his head slightly and thought about it before he nodded. "You could say that."

Ning Xi felt like she was dreaming as she stared at the cold, expressionless face on the man before her. She held her forehead weakly, "Doctor… where's the doctor? I think I might have hit my head so hard that my brain is not working properly. I'm hallucinating…"

On the side, Lu Jingli's expression was guileless. "I didn't hit my head, did my brain break down too?"

At this very moment, Ning Xi simply could not accept the reality before her.

She had saved Little Treasure, so now his father wanted to repay her with his body?

If this was anyone else, that would have been fine. If it was someone just a bit handsome, then it could be considered a lucky romantic encounter.

But this person was Lu Tingxiao, Lu Tingxiao!

When it came to looks, she was not bad, but Lu Tingxiao was the kind of beauty even the most gorgeous of women might have never seen before.

If Lu Tingxiao only took her looks into consideration and wanted to fool around with her, that was understandable but what he had said was, "Marry me." This made it very frightening.

Most importantly…

"Don't you like men?" Ning Xi blurted out.

"Bahahaha…" Lu Jingli was laughing so hard, he fell over.

Lu Tingxiao's face became black like the bottom of a pot, instantly filling the whole ward with a dark atmosphere.

After a long time, Lu Jingli finally stopped laughing. "If my brother likes men, where did Little Treasure come from?"

"Hm, surrogate pregnancy and artificial insemination?"

"If my brother likes men, why would he offer you his body?"

"To cover up his true sexual orientation?"

"Hahahahaha… brother, I really can't help you anymore…"

"I also heard… heard that the two of you are together…" Ning Xi's meek gaze shifted between the two brothers.

"Cough cough cough…" Lu Jingli was so startled, he choked. "Bullshit, those tastes are too heavy for me! Though, this young master is indeed very handsome, I could be both a lady-killer and a man-killer…"

At this time, a stormy person slowly rose from his chair, his long legs striding over towards Ning Xi. "Jingli, take Little Treasure out."

"Ah? Brother, what are you going to do?"

Lu Tingxiao fixed his sleeves languidly. "To prove my true sexual orientation to Miss Ning."

Seeing his expression darken, with a gaze which looked as though he wanted to devour her whole, Ning Xi was so scared, she fell off the bed. She hid behind Little Treasure, and almost wanted to hide under the bed.

"Mister Lu, it has nothing to do with me, it's what other people are saying, I'm just repeating it! Also, you really don't have to thank me, but if you really, really want me to request something from you, then my request is that you don't ask me for a request again… Ah, I'm sorry, I have a really important audition right now, so I'll be leaving first! If fate shall have it, let us meet again then —!"

Ning Xi hastily finished speaking and was about to escape.

But after having only taken a few steps, Lu Tingxiao said in a cold voice behind her, "Did I allow you to leave?"

Ning Xi was so scared, her legs began to tremble.

My life is over!

A few seconds later, under Ning Xi's ready-for-death gaze, Lu Tingxiao handed her a sheet of paper and a pen. "Could I trouble Miss Ning to write a note for Little Treasure, to prevent him worrying when he wakes up?"

That… that's it?

"Of course, of course, no problem at all! I can even write ten thousand words and that wouldn't be a problem!" Ning Xi breathed heavily with relief and picked up the pen to begin writing.

After she was done writing, she immediately ran off in a frenzy.

Watching her back as she left, the man's gaze turned contemplative, as though watching prey that had already been collared.

After Ning Xi left, Lu Jingli sidled over to his brother and bounced up and down. "Brother, am I dreaming? Do you really like Ning Xi? After all these years, even a dull piece of metal like you can be carved into a fine needle. You've never once fancied a girl. Even I, your own brother, was beginning to wonder if you were bent…"

The moment the word "bent" came out, his older brother cut him off. "Shut up."

"En," Lu Jingli choked.

His belly was filled with gossip, and not being able to ask for the truth was really killing him!
