Do you have a fever?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li immediately shook her head and braced herself to ask, “No, no. My... Second Brother, last night... Did I do anything I shouldn’t have done?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, she appeared to have forgotten everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu straightened up and tilted his head to look at her. His gaze lingered on her plump and moist lips for a moment before he moved away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment before he raised his eyebrows and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was extremely nervous. “Wh-What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last night, you cried and begged to be allowed to sleep in my bed...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips held a casual smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could only give up the master bedroom to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li slowly widened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this man say such words without changing his expression at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t he the one who had carried her over himself??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not spoken a single word from the beginning to the end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t–”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just opened her mouth when she looked at Lu Huai and his slightly raised eyebrows. She then automatically swallowed back the rest of her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... I wouldn’t do such a thing, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s hand was tightly pressed against the wall. She gritted her teeth, trying to prove her innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, do you remember then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li felt a lump in her chest, and her voice weakened a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I don’t remember...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew she had done something she felt guilty for. Hence, she was feeling very hesitant as she faced Lu Huaiyu who was sober.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where could she find the extra energy to clear her name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, you drank one-third of that bottle of whiskey. You got drunk and blacked out. It’s perfectly normal for you to not remember what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Huaiyu spoke, her delicate and fair earlobes turned red at a visible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said I would send you home, but you refused. You said that it was snowing, and then you said you wanted to sleep. You entered my room and refused to leave...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her eyes, and her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu watched with great interest. He admired her for a while, to the point that he felt that the young girl was about to be embarrassed and annoyed. Then, he changed the topic and gave her a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe you went in once before, so you decided to claim it as your territory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had completely forgotten about the incident. That was a huge loss for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With last night’s experience, he felt he had to get back at her a little this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li stared at the floor and listened to him as he seemed to be accusing her of some wrongdoing. She felt as if she was going crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he do this!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... I...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, that doesn’t matter. If you like my bed that much, I’ll give it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Master Lu came from an aristocratic family and had always been generous,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can sleep there whenever you come to visit in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s line of defense was hanging by a thread. She forced herself to hold on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, there’s no need...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need to be polite with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s lips curved slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li, “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this even a matter of politeness!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Huaiyu did not seem to think that this was an important matter. He gently patted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you hungry? Let’s eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gotten up early and prepared porridge for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s thoughts were still preoccupied about the bed, so she slowly followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food tasted bland to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu had just made her look bad. She had not done what he said, so how could she admit to it!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she really didn’t know how to express what she was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was more humiliating? Getting drunk, then crying and insisting that she wanted to sleep on Lu Huaiyu’s bed, or pretending to be drunk and secretly kissing Lu Huaiyu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li closed her eyes in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No appetite?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li put down her spoon and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could possibly eat under such circumstances?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu bent his fingers and lightly knocked on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since we’re done eating, let’s talk about what happened yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li instantly straightened her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu paused and looked at her carefully before asking, “Did you go to Taihe yesterday afternoon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I went to buy some things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu casually asked, “With Pei Song?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li raised her eyes in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he know about this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But very quickly, she remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Miss Jiang tell you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining table was instantly dead silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air seemed to freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Lu Huaiyu and his thin lips curled into a meaningful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back and slowly said, “There were fourteen people at the high school reunion. Sun Qingyi was the one who organized the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They stayed there for half an hour and touched four dishes. They didn’t drink a single drop of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of the girls happened to take a photo of you. It was deleted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sentence was clearly stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he was making a list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was instantly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I came home, I saw that you were already drunk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he said this, Lu Huaiyu suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you still remember what happened then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s throat was dry, and she said reluctantly, “I don’t remember.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu nodded, as if he was not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not speak anymore and continued to just look at Ning Li, obviously waiting for her answer to his earlier question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Ning Li felt strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Huaiyu’s gaze seemed to be intense, and the aura around him was too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sorted out her thoughts before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He wanted to return the book that he borrowed from me previously, so we arranged to meet at Taihe Plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After that, I went to the mall to buy some things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still quite obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ning Li, if you want to fall in love, wait until you grow up. Understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you grow up, even more than that, you’ll be able to kiss anywhere you want, okay?”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li almost did not dare to look into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were so straightforward that they were almost naked. Every word carried a burning heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head slightly for a while before she answered, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today is New Year’s Eve. You should pack up and come home with me tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu nodded. He could not help but laugh when he saw her wide-eyed and shocked look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be nervous. My parents and brother are both out of town, so my grandfather is the only one at home. Just treat it as a reunion dinner with the elderly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he would not leave her alone in the Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li felt that she did not seem to have anything to do with the words “reunion dinner”...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said hesitantly, “This doesn’t seem... appropriate, does it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In what capacity would she be going as?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu seemed to have seen through her thoughts and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’re already sleeping in my bed, isn’t it normal for us to have a meal together to celebrate the New Year?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li, “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, she nodded her head in resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1415,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.757Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","82a1cffcf230a086115aa4fa797f3a8821b0b3369e3a19064fa222bd8ca10238","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-323","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-321",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
