The chirping of cicadas in summer mixed with the sound of pattering rain broke in from the open hall, adding a touch of dullness to the already tense left outer hall.

Xi Wang stood in front of the round table closest to Luming with her adult calmness, her long hair like a waterfall hanging down obediently behind her, the purest black wrapped around her cold white skin, delicate and luxurious.

The violent heartbeat hit Lu Ming's thin body forcefully, she knelt on the ground and looked up at Xi Wang who was standing not far from her, watching her stretch out the hand with the silk glove.

The black silk swallows all the colors around it and reflects the radiance.

Instantly lit up Luming's gloomy world.

It was the first time that Lu Ming was so sure that this hand was stretched out to her.

In this way, with cowardice and secret joy, Lu Ming staggered up from the ground under everyone's gaze, and put his hand on the hand of this person who could protect him on his own initiative, and stood cautiously with her. together.

One is the little emperor in the upper class circle of City A, and the other is an orphan girl who has no father or mother.

On this rainy summer day, the two orbits that should not have intersected gradually approached under the impetus of fate.

Silk is cool, so is Xi Wang's feeling.

Lu Ming gently held her hand, and suddenly felt the slight trembling of the fingers of the person beside him.

This trembling made Lu Ming's heart flustered, and he raised his head cautiously to find a half-forgotten emotion, but at this moment, he met her lowered gaze.

This is not a look that can be described as deserted.

A new and unfamiliar word popped up in Lu Ming's heart.

Cold-blooded.

This word shattered all the fantasies Lu Ming had about "Xi Wang" just now, and he finally understood what was wrong when he saw Xi Wang's side face on the steps.

How can a person who has been immersed in business wars since childhood and has his back on the entire Xi's business empire be weak and pitiful, and be controlled by others.

How could she show her emotions? It's anyone's guess.

"Miss."

At this moment, a man stood next to Lu and Sun's family at some point, and nodded slightly to Xi Wang.

Xi Wang withdrew his gaze from Lu Ming, and turned to look at Lu and Sun's family.

Those cold eyebrows darkened instantly, sharp and gloomy, Lu Jiabao and the little fat man held their mother's hand tightly, resisting the fear of crying and avoiding Xi Wang's sight.

"Xiao Xi, they didn't do it on purpose. Children are sloppy and don't know the rules. Don't be angry." Mr. Sun thought that he still had some friendship with the Xi family, so he stood up and explained.

"Apologize." Xi Wang ordered in a flat voice.

These are definitely the most majestic words Lu Ming has heard in his short life.

You don't need to raise your eyebrows like Lu Changjun, and you don't need to be hysterical like Shi Ning.

She just stood there, uttering two words without emotion, and everyone in the East Outer Hall didn't dare to take a breath.

Lu Ming was so overwhelmed by the strong sense of oppression that he was forced to suppress his secret joy, leaving only cowardice.

When the Lu family and the Sun family heard Xi Wang's words, they hurriedly pushed their two little ancestors who had caused trouble, repeatedly comforting and asking them to come to Xi Wang to apologize to her.

But Lu Jiabao and the little fat man didn't dare, they looked at the woman in the distance who couldn't see the expression with their heads up, and they were almost scared out of their wits.

The two pairs of sesame seed-sized eyes were redder than the other, and the unsatisfactory snot flowed down faster than the tears, hanging on the nose in an extremely embarrassing state.

"Did you hear that, go and apologize! If you don't apologize, go to the little black room tonight!" Shi Ning said sternly, she had spoken rudely before, and now she absolutely dare not offend Xi Wang.

Lu Jiabao burst into tears when he heard the little black house.

He hugged Shi Ning and begged out of breath, "Mom, Jiabao won't go to the little black room!! Jiabao won't go!!"

"Then go and apologize." Shi Ning lost his patience with Lu Jiabao and repeated.

Lu Jiabao knew that he couldn't escape, sobbing, he followed the little fat man and walked in the direction of Xi Wang.

Tears and snot were wiped all over his face, and he completely lost his usual demeanor of a bully.

"I'm sorry..."

Xi Wang ignored Lu Jiabao and the little fat man's apology, without even looking at them, and corrected: "Her."

Xi Wang didn't make obvious eye gestures, but this "she" couldn't be more obvious.

——It was Lu Ming who was scratched by two brats beside Xi Wang.

Lu Ming was quite surprised by Xi Wang's words. She was used to being forced to swallow injustice, but she never thought that one day she would be led to ask for the justice she should have received.

She secretly glanced at the person beside her, wanting to express her gratitude to her, but regretfully failed to meet her eyes again.

The little fat man is smart, he hurriedly obeyed Xi Wang, and said to Lu Ming beside him, "I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't hit you with a wine glass."

Hearing these words, Lu Ming was extremely satisfied.

She waved her hand and said, "It's okay, don't do this next time, do you understand?"

Lu Ming's voice was already soft, not only did it not sound like serious preaching, but it sounded soft and comforting.

Originally, Lu Ming didn't want much, and she was satisfied with a small correction and apology.

The little fat man also nodded obediently, not forgetting to glance at Xi Wang who was at the side.

Seeing that Xi Wang had his lips tightly closed, he didn't intend to speak at all, so he ran back sensibly.

It's just that Lu Jiabao is not so obedient.

The person he wants to apologize to is Lu Ming, who he used to bully on weekdays, who is the most despised child in the family.

In his perception, everyone didn't need to apologize for bullying her, so why didn't it work today? !

Lu Ming knew Lu Jiabao's temperament. She watched Shi Ning and Lu Changjun give her a look, and her rebellious mentality surged up following the grievances she had suffered on a daily basis.

She squeezed Xi Wang's hand slightly, stubbornly refusing to open her mouth to intercede for her younger brother.

Under the stalemate, Lu Jiabao lost to Shi Ning's little black house, walked up to Lu Ming and said, "I'm sorry!!!"

The voice was loud and hasty, full of Lu Jiabao's shattered self-esteem.

Lu Ming immediately felt that his heart was much smoother.

She finally became a condescending king once, watching the bullying child in front of her struggle to say "I'm sorry" that he owed her for several years.

It's just that this smoothness didn't last long.

Lu Ming looked at the two cubs being hugged by their mother, his heart felt sour for some reason.

Suddenly, Lu Ming felt his hand being pulled.

She hurriedly recovered and looked up at Xi Wang.

Xi Wang had already turned around and was about to leave.

But he held her hand but never let her go.

"Where are we going?" Lu Ming obediently turned around with Xi Wang, and asked timidly.

"Apply medicine." Xi Wang said.

Only then did Lu Ming realize that he still had a wound to deal with, so he obediently followed Xi Wang and left the left outer hall with her.

The suppressed joy surged up again, and even the newly added tension intertwined in Lu Ming's heart all the way.

This is one of the few people in her life who supports her.

What even Lu Yan didn't do, Xi Wang did.

The girl's palm became soft and moist with joy, and Lu Ming held Xi Wang's cold hand, wanting to reciprocate.

But walking from one end of the corridor to the other, Lu Ming found that she couldn't hold Xi Wang's hand warmly.

This is so strange, Lu Ming looked up at Xi Wang suspiciously.

The faint white light passed through the glass and reflected into the corridor. She was still in the hall just now, elegant and calm.

The whole body exudes the breath of abstinence that should not be entered by strangers.

Lu Ming was too short to see Xi Wang's entire appearance clearly, only the red lips could be glimpsed under the cover of his long hair.

Like the raging fire, and like the coquettish poppies.

But no matter what, it is life-threatening.

How can there be a person who can perfectly control coolness and flirtatiousness in himself.

These are obviously two contradictory terms.

Suddenly, the red lips moved slightly.

Xi Wang: "What are you looking at?"

Lu Ming's heart thumped, and he quickly lowered his gaze, "...No."

Children don't know how to act, and they try to cover up everything.

Xi Wang hooked his lower lip, and walked into the room where the attendant had already opened the door for her without looking sideways.

"Miss." A middle-aged woman came up politely and took off the shawl on Xi Wang's body.

"Aunt Xu, deal with it." Xi Wang said and threw the Lu Ming in his hand to the woman, and went straight to the window.

The departure of Xi Wang's hand brought uneasiness and panic to Lu Ming, and the hand that was holding Xi Wang tightly just a second ago now bent into a semicircle in emptiness.

Xi Wang said to let her go and let her go.

Fortunately, Aunt Xu was kind, she squatted in front of Lu Ming, and asked kindly: "Little friend, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Ming seldom received any attention from others, and the strangeness and anxiety were replaced by warmth.

She showed her wound to Aunt Xu, and said, "It's scratched here."

"Oh, what happened to such an opening? Was it caused by the commotion in the left outer hall just now?" Aunt Xu frowned, her face was full of distress, "Come on, grandma will deal with it for you .”

As she said that, Aunt Xu brought out the medicine box and skillfully disinfected Lu Ming.

In fact, this hole is not very big, it is only as long as a thumbnail, which is not a big deal to Lu Ming.

But the expression on Aunt Xu's face clearly showed pain, as if Lu Ming's wound was serious.

Lu Ming felt the tingling of the cool alcohol rubbing his skin, and he didn't feel sore in his heart.

It's no wonder that Aunt Xu made a fuss, even if a child here knocked a small piece of green, they will be loved by adults for a long time.

"What's your name, where are your parents? Why is no one following? Do you want me to call your parents?" Aunt Xu asked Lu Ming like a cannonball while sticking a cartoon Band-Aid on Lu Ming.

"My name is Lu Ming." Lu Ming answered Aunt Xu's first question in a low voice, and then fell silent.

She has no parents for a long time, and there will be no one to follow her. Even if she calls Lu Yan, it is just an empty number.

She was the one who caused such a disaster today, she was the one who made Lu and Sun's family lose face, and she was the one who didn't obey Lu Jiabao just now.

If you call them, you will definitely be scolded, and maybe you will be kicked out of Lu's house.

"What's the matter? Don't you know who your parents are? It's okay..." Aunt Xu wanted to ask, but was interrupted.

Xi Wang: "Aunt Xu."

"What's the matter, miss?" Aunt Xu immediately replied.

Xi Wang's lips were pursed, and he didn't give any orders to Aunt Xu.

It seemed that her soft call just now was just a whim.

The room was extremely quiet, and the sound of the rain outside the window intensified a bit, and several lights were dappled by the heavy rain, and two luxury cars parked quietly in the rain under the window.

One of them was a vintage Bentley in yellow and brown.

The Sun family held an umbrella and was escorted all the way out of the left outer hall by three bodyguards in windbreakers.

The rain kept washing the glass, making it impossible to distinguish the expressions of the people downstairs, but just looking at the back view, one could feel the anger and embarrassment of the family of three.

Lu Ming didn't know what happened, he could only hear a few muffled doors closing from outside the window, and then it was as if a car drove away, leaving behind the sound of the car's engine fading away.

Xi Wang casually put the wine glass in his hand on the record player at hand, and turned around slowly.

Behind her was the pouring rain, but in front of her was a warm room.

The soft light filled the distance between Xi Wang and Lu Ming.

She parted her red lips slightly, and asked, "Is it from Lu's house, or from Xi's house?"
