Hidden Marriage

It wasn’t that Ning Xi had not felt Lu Tingxiao’s different attitude towards her, but every time, he would stop right at the boundary of good friends. If she reacted too drastically, then it would seem like she was imagining feelings when there weren’t any.

Thus, when Ning Xi heard this very ordinary question, she answered it in a normal manner: “Male!”

Lu Tingxiao’s unfathomable gaze narrowed imperceptibly, “Are you coming back tonight?”
