Ning Xi sat down obediently like an elementary school student. Her face looking like she wanted to cry.

Lu Tingxiao held his head in one hand, Youre scared of me?

In the dark of the night, Lu Tingxiao seemed even more devilishly dangerous compared to his cold self in the day.

Ning Xi shook her head vigorously, then nodded carefully, Theres probably not a single person who isnt scared of you in the capital, right?

Lu Tingxiaos slender fingers played with the cup in his hands as he slowly said, So youre scared of me because others are afraid of me? Then why dont you marry me since other women want to as well?

This question frightened Ning Xi to the point that she almost slid off her chair.

She had just thought that she had escaped this trial in the day. Clearly she had really been too naive.

How was she supposed to answer such a loaded question?

Ning Xi trembled as she raised her hand, Before answering this question, can I ask another one?

Lu Tingxiao nodded, You may.

Why me? Is it because Little Treasure is reliant on me? I think that its only temporary. Hell be fine once his emotions have stabilised. Even if he is always like that, you dont have to you dont have to inconvenience yourself in this manner Ning Xi painstakingly persuaded him as if advising a young girl that had strayed off the right path.

Lu Tingxiao put down the cup and raised his eyes to look at her, I thought I made it clear the first time Ms Ning. I dont mind saying it again if you still dont understand. I am going to repay you with my body because you saved Little Treasure.

Its exactly because of this reason that I cant accept this okay!? Ning Xi roared in her heart.

Ning Xi felt that she wasnt able to communicate any further with him on this point. She could only make an apologetic expression, Mr Lu, Im extremely grateful for your good intentions. Im absolutely against marriage though, so

Lu Tingxiao raised a brow, So, you only want to sleep with me? Yet you dont want to take responsibility by marrying me?

Yes, thats exactly righ-wait! No no no no that wasnt what I meant! Ning Xi was about to kneel for him. Could he be any more terrifying with his words?

Unfortunately, I cant accept premarital sex.

Who would believe that. Ning Xi could not help mumbling under her breath after hearing that.

Youve already gotten someone pregnant before marriage, okay?

Lu Tingxiaos expression was a little unfocused as looked out the window, Little Treasure was an accident, I dont know who his mother is.

Why did this sound so terrible?

Then youre minding that I have a son? Lu Tingxiao suddenly asked.

Thats impossible! Its as Lu Tingxiao said, all the women in the capital were wracking their minds to be Little Treasures stepmother. How could she mind that he had a son!

Then why?

Judging by the way things were going, Lu Tingxiao would not be letting her off unless she provided a satisfactory answer.

Ning Xi held her forehead helplessly. She said after taking a deep breath, Mr Lu, marriage is not a game. Regardless of whether its for the sake of repaying a debt or other reasons, we just met. Do you understand my personality? Do you know my past?

The one I want to marry is the present you. Your past has nothing to do with me. Lu Tingxiaos answer was overbearing as expected.

Ning Xis expression cooled down, However, to me, my past is also a part of me. I have no way of cutting off my past to marry you. Mr Lu, we are travelling on different paths. I sincerely suggest that you take back your absurd idea.

Following that was a thick silence.

Ning Xi thought that the other would start throwing a huge temper due to the humiliation of being rejected again.

Lu Tingxiao spoke up with an even tone, Understood.

Ning Xis tightly wound nerves finally relaxed, Then Im going to sleep, good night.

Good night.

The man looked at that frail back, his gaze was as unfathomable as the ocean depths. The only thing that didnt change was the heat that came from the seabed.
