Chapter 120 - 120 120 Youll Know Later
?Chapter 120: Chapter 120: You’ll Know Later Chapter 120: Chapter 120: You’ll Know Later Ni Xinxuan got up to take a bath and used the opportunity to reorganize the events that had occurred in her dream.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn’t think she had done anything to deserve Yuan Hanyi’s treatment.
Yet, he had pushed her to that extent for Bo Xiangxiang, a woman who shamelessly involved herself with who knows how many men.
Next, she felt disgusted. After all, in her dream, Yuan Hanyi knew that Bo Xiangxiang was involved with other men, yet he was willing to share her with others and become part of her harem.
After feeling disgusted, she began to think about how to reclaim her life, as well as her parents’ and their company.
She would definitely not be foolish again, allowing Yuan Hanyi and Liu Shaoxian to suppress and takeover her family’s company and cause her father to remain depressed.
Her mother had fallen ill and, because they couldn’t afford the expensive medical fees, her health had deteriorated.
It had to be said, Yuan Hanyi and Bo Xiangxiang had truly crossed her bottom line.
Soon, she had a plan.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Luo Ning awake.
She smiled, “Why did you go sleep on the sofa?”
Luo Ning replied, “I move a lot in my sleep, I was afraid I would kick you.”
“Are you feeling better now?” she asked.
Ni Xinxuan nodded, “After sleeping on it, I suddenly realized that a scumbag like Yuan Hanyi is a perfect match for a sleazy woman like Bo Xiangxiang. It’s actually good that I got out.”
She walked over and sat next to Luo Ning, her eyes full of gratitude as she said, “Thank you for helping me last night and staying with me.”
Luo Ning smiled, “Aren’t we friends already? So, no need to be so formal and distant.”
Ni Xinxuan reached out and hugged Luo Ning, “Yeah, from now on you are my best girlfriend.”
She guessed that, like herself, Luo Ning hadn’t revealed everything, but it was enough that they understood each other.
If Luo Ning ever needed help in the future, she would definitely not ignore her.
She sincerely wanted to make Luo Ning a lifelong friend.
“Sure, best girlfriends!” Luo Ning hugged her back.
Indeed, after experiencing what had happened in her past life, Ni Xinxuan had let go of herself and also let go of her feelings for the scumbag.
She believed she would be the rational and smart Actress Ni once again.
Often, the friendship between women is just that simple, lifelong best girlfriends.
After checking out of the hotel, the two took separate taxis home to change clothes, then went to the skyscraper to continue rehearsals.
The show was tomorrow, and Luo Ning’s team had already become very familiar with the dance and song routines, coordinating seamlessly, and had practiced to the best of their abilities.
After finishing the rehearsal at noon, Luo Ning suggested that everyone rest in the afternoon and evening to reenergize for the big day tomorrow.
The students obediently went back to rest without further practice.
Lu Xun invited Luo Ning, “Shall we go have a meal together?”
Luo Ning smiled and nodded, “Sure!”
So, Lu Xun drove Luo Ning to a private kitchen restaurant.
This private kitchen was not open to the public, and it was Luo Ning’s first visit.
It must be said, the food was indeed very good.
After eating, Luo Ning smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, you really know how to pick places.”
Lu’s eyes twinkled with amusement, “A friend recommended it. Knowing you like gourmet food, I thought I’d bring you to try it.”
“Do you like it?” He knew Luo Ning’s taste well.
Luo Ning nodded, “I like it, we should come again sometime.”
As they were chatting, Lu Xun’s personal phone suddenly rang.
After he answered the call, his expression became more serious, and he looked up at Luo Ning and said, “Han Lie’s team failed the capture.”
Luo Ning wasn’t too surprised, as she had anticipated it. That’s why she had warned Han Lie that the Tracking Talisman could only be used once.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to remind or help Han Lie; she just had a feeling that she needed to force the Evil Magician to come to them so she would have a chance to deal with him.
Otherwise, given the special department’s tracking experience, the Evil Magician would definitely have some means to escape capture.
In her past life, it was when this person came to capture her brother that he was subdued and captured by Lu Xun and his men.
Of course, she wouldn’t use her brother as bait but was preparing to use herself to lure the assailant into making a move.
The bait had already been cast; it was just a matter of when the other party would bite.
Luo Ning said, “Let’s go to the scene and take a look.”
Lu Xun nodded, “That’s what I thought too, and I have already asked them to wait there.”
Then he made a phone call, instructing his assistant to drive the car back, while he and Luo Ning took a cab.
This was an old neighborhood, and there was a surveillance camera only at a considerable distance.
Avoiding the camera, Lu Xun took out two masks from the bag he was carrying and handed one to Luo Ning.
Luo Ning noticed that the two masks were very similar in design, though Lu Xun’s was black and the one he handed to her was red.
“You really came prepared.” She didn’t fuss and just put it on.
Lu Xun also donned his mask, “We are public figures, and our identities might easily be exposed, so let’s keep it mysterious.”
“I’ve already told Han Lie not to mention your induction into the special department.”
“He will inform Han Chi and Fu Yunbing as well.”
Han Chi had introduced Luo Ning to Han Lie, so her identity would inevitably become known.
The reason she hadn’t stopped it before was that those three were tight-lipped and wouldn’t betray her.
Moreover, after joining the job, apart from meeting him, the department head, knowing another impressive team leader would still be useful.
As a Feng Shui Master, Luo Ning wasn’t really afraid that Han Lie and the others would betray her identity, but she still felt warmed by Emperor Lu’s thoughtfulness.
“Thank you, Mr. Lu, I seem to owe you more and more.” She followed him into the neighborhood.
The two avoided people, so no one saw them.
Lu Xun chuckled lightly, “Don’t forget, I still owe you a debt of gratitude for saving my life.”
Luo Ning laughed it off, “It’s hardly a life-saving grace. You wouldn’t have died without me.”
“Besides, you’ve helped me quite a lot, which should more or less even the score.”
Lu Xun said seriously, “But without you, I might have been bedridden for a long time, or even suffered long-term damage to my legs. I don’t think I’ve fully repaid you yet.”
Luo Ning was speechless, “Suit yourself then. I’m the one benefiting anyway.”
Lu Xun leaned in close and whispered in her ear with a low chuckle, “No worries, you can take advantage of me however you want.”
Luo Ning, “…,” somehow felt there was a double entendre in those words.
She pushed Lu Xun away, “I’ve noticed a big change in you since we returned from the Deserted Island.”
Lu Xun had never thought of concealing his true self in front of Luo Ning, “A big change just shows how much more genuine I am with you.”
“And besides, after getting hurt, I remembered a lot of things and just let myself be around you,” he added meaningfully.
Luo Ning didn’t understand, “Remembered a lot of things? Did you have amnesia before?”
It seemed she had never heard of Emperor Lu having amnesia!
Lu Xun said, “I guess you could say that.”
“How does that relate to you being yourself around me?” Luo Ning was puzzled.
Lu Xun turned his head to look at her, his eyes brimming with deep amusement, “You’ll find out later.”
Luo Ning rolled her eyes at him, “You’re such a tease! Annoying!”
Since Lu Xun wasn’t elaborating now, she didn’t press further. It seemed, as he said, she would find out eventually.
