Chapter 879

When they reached home, Ning Xi’s cheeks were puffed up and judging from her pout, she was obviously unhappy .

Lu Tingxiao’s eyes fell on the faint mark on the girl’s fair neck that was a result of his loss of control earlier . “Unhappy?”

Ning Xi instantly nodded vigorously .

Who would be jealous of a woman anyway!?

“One day, if you saw me and another man in such a position, would you feel bothered?” Lu Tingxiao said plainly .

“You . . . you and another man in a situation similar to mine earlier!?” Ning Xi visualized the image in her head for a while and almost started to bleed from her nose . “How could I not be bothered!?”

When he saw the girl’s excited little face, it was clear that she was not affected by jealousy . . .

Lu Tingxiao’s eyes flashed with helplessness . “You . . . ? Fine . . . “

Ning Xi looked at Lu Tingxiao’s exhausted expression and ran over to him in small steps . “Angry?”

Lu Tingxiao shot her a look . “If I was really angry at you, do you think I would still be alive?”

The way he said that sounded like he would die from anger or something . . .

She had only caused little ruckuses out of impulse once in a while . . . and accidentally stole the hearts of girls every now and then . . .

Shortly after Lu Tingxiao left, Ning Xi worked for a while . As she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang .

She looked at the phone display . It was Zhuang Keer . They had exchanged numbers before this .

Why was she calling at this hour?

Ning Xi suspiciously picked up the call . “Hello, Keer?”

“Xiao Xi, are you sleeping yet? Am I disturbing you?” Zhuang Keer asked carefully .

“No worries, I’m not asleep yet!”

“Oh . . . “

Zhuang Keer did not continue any further .

Ning Xi could only take the initiative to say, “Well, whatever happened before this . . . I’m really sorry . . . that I’ve caused you to misunderstand . . . “

Zhuang Keer replied softly, “There’s nothing to be sorry abou . You had no intention to lie to anyone anyway . On the contrary, I should thank you . Thank you for coming to my rescue that time . I have always . . . always wanted to thank you face-to-face . . . “

When she heard the girl’s shy and nervous tone from the other end, Ning Xi rubbed her nose and quickly cleared her throat to say, “It’s okay, it was just a slight effort on my part . “

“Um, Xiao Xi, are you free tomorrow?” Zhuang Keer hesitantly asked again .

“Tomorrow . . . I have to swing by the company tomorrow . My manager has something to discuss with me and I’m not sure what time I’ll finish . Is there . . . something you need me for?” Ning Xi tried to probe .

“It’s nothing . . . nothing important anyway! We’re now considered as friends, aren’t we? You know that I don’t usually have many friends, so I just wanted to ask you out for shopping and meals or something . . . it’s okay if you are busy! Work comes first!” Zhuang Keer said this with quite a bit of difficulty .

When she heard the girl’s obviously disappointed tone trying to be disguised as nonchalance, Ning Xi almost could not help herself and she wanted to immediately agree to everything .

At last, she tactfully said, “Let’s hang out when we’re free!”

When she said this, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent for a long while .

Ning Xi frowned . “Hello? Keer, are you still there?”

“Xiao Xi, do you . . . do you hate me?” Zhuang Keer’s voice was shaking slightly .

Upon hearing the voice on the other end on the verge of tears, Ning Xi was shocked and she quickly said, “Of course not! Why would you think so?”
