Ning Lang's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "I'm feeling much better."
He held her head in his arms, and she nestled against his chest.
The two were acting... way too intimately.
Slightly embarrassed, she propped herself up and slowly sat up.
"It's just low blood sugar, it's nothing serious."
He sat down on the edge of the bed and asked worriedly, "Are you sure you're alright? Is this really low blood sugar? How did you suddenly faint?"
I almost scared him to death just now!
Ning Lang lowered her eyes and explained in a low voice, "I didn't rest well and ate a little less this morning, which made me prone to low blood sugar. I felt a bit dizzy when I suddenly stood up just now, but after eating something, I'm fine now."
Sheng Xuan couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
He had a gut feeling that she was hiding something from him, and something very big and serious!
Unless it's an extremely difficult problem, she won't have trouble sleeping, eat less, or even lose a little weight.
Ning Lang's eyes flickered slightly, and after pausing for two seconds, she finally spoke in a low voice: "...The Ming family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Ning family, and they have tried to match me with Senior Jiang time and time again. My father told me to think about it."
Huh?! What?!
Sheng Xuan suddenly felt her mind go completely blank, as if it had exploded in chaos.
He yelled, "No way!!"
The Ming family wants to curry favor with the Ning family?! Who do they think they are?! They're dreaming!
He suddenly roared, making Ning Lang frown. "Keep your voice down! I'm not deaf. Why are you shouting so loudly? Do you want the whole world to know about this?"
Sheng Xuanming's handsome face flushed red and then paled, and he said in a low voice, annoyed, "What demons and evil gods! Ignore them! Tell them to get lost!"
Ning Lang glanced at him thoughtfully, her eyes holding a half-smile.
He felt inexplicably guilty under her gaze, and his handsome face instantly flushed red.
"You're a jinx, have some mercy and don't go around harming other people! Anyway, you don't need your family to support you now, so you don't have to listen to your uncle in everything."
Ning Lang pulled her sweater tighter and climbed out of bed.
"My dad only told me to think it over; he didn't pressure me into marriage. I just think Senior Jiang is a gentle and refined person, with impeccable manners—"
"What nonsense!" he suddenly interrupted gruffly. "That guy is obviously a hypocrite! The Ming family has always been ruthless in their methods. To rise so high in just a decade or two, they must have done a lot of dirty work! Jiang Lirong is their henchman; he's not clean!"
Ning Lang asked jokingly, "Oh? It seems you know them quite well?"
"Well... we're all in this business, so we all know a thing or two," Sheng Xuan explained awkwardly. "I've had dealings with the Ming family, and I could tell they weren't any good people just by looking at them!"
Ning Lang chuckled softly and strode towards the stairwell.
He panicked and hurriedly caught up with her, grabbing her wrist.
"Don't go! I haven't finished talking yet!"
Ning Lang turned slightly to the side, her pretty face tilted up as she looked at him.
"We'll see each other again at work tomorrow, so why do we have to say everything now?"
Sheng Xuan's handsome face flushed slightly with embarrassment, and he said in a rough voice, "I might forget about it tomorrow! Let me warn you beforehand! The Ming family are all bad news, so don't get involved with them or you might catch bird flu! Don't blame me for not warning you!"
"Don't worry, I only need one Green," Ning Lang said.
Sheng Xuan smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
"Good to know! Although Ah Lü has a sharp tongue and a bad mind, she's still better than those guys from the Ming family!"
Ning Lang ignored him and shook off his large hand.
"I will pass these words on to A-Lu."
Sheng Xuan: "..."
Hey! Stop!
