Chapter 589: Chapter 589: She is His Sister
While the two were being all lovey-dovey, a voice with a businesslike tone rang out, "Miss, this is the cake General Manager Ning ordered for you."
Ning Xixi recognized that the voice belonged to Ning Jingshen’s assistant and couldn’t help but frown.
What crazy idea did dad have this time?
However, when her gaze fell on the cake box in his hand, a warm feeling welled up in Ning Xixi’s eyes.
It was from her favorite store, where Song Weiyang, when she was still around, would often buy cakes for her.
Back then, Ning Jingshen loved to tease her, asking her whether she "loved the cake or loved daddy" more. The little her would agonize over this for a long time, before sweetly saying, "Love daddy!"
Ning Jingshen would then joyfully spin her around in his arms, with Song Weiyang gently smiling by their side...
The memories were so beautiful, she couldn’t help but long for them...
"Thank you..." she took the box.
Even if it was just a facade, she wanted to hold onto that happiness for a few more seconds.
Adjusting his glasses, the assistant added, "Additionally, General Manager Ning said that he found some of Mrs. Song’s belongings at home. He has already sorted them out, and if Miss needs them, you can come and collect them."
Ning Xixi was tempted, "I’ll go right now!"
Just as she took a step forward, she paused, "That... is Mrs. Lu at home?"
The assistant replied, "Right now, only Young Master Xiu should be at home."
"Oh, good." Ning Xixi was relieved and handed the cake box to Ji Yebai, "Don’t you dare sneak a taste. Wait for me to come back, okay~"
Ji Yebai shook his head helplessly, "Don’t run too fast! Pig!"
As he arrived at the Ji Family’s entrance, he subconsciously glanced at the Ning Family’s garage, his brows inadvertently furrowing.
That black Maybach, it seemed to belong to Lu Qinghe?
...
At the Ning Family residence.
No sooner had Ning Xixi entered when she saw Lu Qinghe elegantly drinking tea in the living room.
Her expression immediately turned as if she had swallowed a fly, utterly disgusted.
"Are you here to take something? It should be with Axiu." Today, Lu Qinghe didn’t have her usual fierceness. She actually spoke to Ning Xixi like an ordinary elder.
When things are abnormal, there must be demons around; Ning Xixi just responded with a "hm" and, not wanting to speak more with her, stomp-stomped her way upstairs.
She didn’t notice that behind her, Lu Qinghe’s eyes gradually changed from kind to vicious...
It seemed as though they were tinged with a bloodthirsty cruelty...
...
Knock knock.
Ning Xixi knocked a few times on the door, and the enchantingly alluring voice of Gong Xiu could be heard from inside, "Please come in."
She pushed open the door, walked a few steps inside, and saw Gong Xiu wearing a bathrobe, his waistband loosely tied, his eyes slightly hazy.
"You’re here, I will get the things for you." Gong Xiu’s voice was hoarse and severe, leaving a strange impression.
He moved a paper box from the windowsill and approached Ning Xixi.
As he caught the fresh scent of the young girl, it was as if he suddenly lost control, his eyes as deep and unseen as ancient wells, brimming with the burning etch of Star Fire.
Bang.
The paper box hit the floor, its contents scattering all over the place.
Ning Xixi realized something was wrong and backed away, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "What... what’s wrong with you?"
She wanted to run, but Gong Xiu’s figure, swift as a gust of wind, locked the door before she could make a move, forcefully pinning Ning Xixi against it!
"Hiss..."
The rude movement hurt Ning Xixi’s back.
"Xixi..." In his peach blossom eyes, flames were burning.
She was so close, yet felt as distant as the other side of the horizon.
She was his sister in name...
But she was also the person he loved... His eyes were dark and inscrutable, as though struggling...
His fingertips lifted Ning Xixi’s chin, overwhelming her with a strange sensation, he leaned down, desiring to kiss her...
