My strength has recovered a bit after bathing for a while, but the fire in my body could erupt at any time, like a dormant volcano! So it’s better if you stay away from me! If my inner beast comes out, the consequences would be terrible! Let me tell you, even I am afraid of myself when I go crazy…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Lu Tingxiao’s mouth tilted upwards slightly. He didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at her exaggerated words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he looked forward to such a consequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The medicine is here, do you need me to help you?\" Lu Tingxiao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. For the sake of your virtue, I better do it myself!\" Ning Xi said righteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My virtue…\" Lu Tingxiao curled his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi blinked. \"Didn't you say before that you would only accept a sexual relationship as part of marriage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of good man who was disciplined and righteous was like a needle in a haystack. She would be committing a huge sin if she was the one to destroy his principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao pinched the skin between his eyebrows. Was it too late for him now to take those words back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi then said vaguely, \"That, I’m not wearing clothes inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao nodded, handed her the medicine, then stepped back. \"I'll wait for you outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, oh, by the way, please help me see if my own clothes and bag are outside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao walked into the living room, and after a short search, found a clothes basket in one corner with all of Ning Xi’s things inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a flash of light inside her bag; it was an incoming call on her phone, which she had muted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao took a casual glance, and in the next second, his pupils abruptly contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two letters flashed clearly on the caller display — YS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the man whose identity he hadn’t been able to discover until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call didn’t cut off, and the screen kept flashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao stared at it for ten seconds, then with slender fingers, picked up the phone and pressed the button to accept the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the line, there was a faint sound like someone pouring wine, and then came a husky male voice. \"Hello, Sissy, did you receive the gift? Happy Birthday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Lu Tingxiao said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five seconds later, as Lu Tingxiao wondered whether the man would say anything more, that slightly evil-sounding voice sounded again. \"Heh, you aren’t Ning Xi, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that was the familiar sound of a wine glass tapping against glassware, and the man continued to speak in an interested tone. \"Then who are you? Let me guess… it must be a man… a man who is still with her at this time of night… a one night stand? Or are you dating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man paused, then chuckled huskily before speaking in a tone filled with dangerous malice. \"Heh, if you’re in a relationship, then has she told you, she has one foot in two camps? Yes, that’s right, the other camp is me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Tingxiao was about to prod him for more information, the phone suddenly went dark. It had actually running out of battery, and had turned off automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>",686,"2026-06-06T10:48:50.570Z",1,"novelbin.me","4a2faada5c863b540d86b175aad1c9066f94b2c51647386e152cea8f6501ec6d","hidden-marriage-chapter-142","hidden-marriage-chapter-140",2163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-marriage-cover.jpg"]
