Lu Jingli sighed, ”The psychologist has mentioned this as well, but Little Treasure wouldnʼt even move away from the old residence at all. Iʼm guessing he must have been waiting for you to take him home!”

When Ning Xi heard this, she felt her heart tighten.

”The only thing is, letting you take Little Treasure away is too heavy of a decision, one that I donʼt dare to casually allow...”

Lu Jingli was just thinking about what to do when his phone suddenly rang.

It was a message from his brother—

[If she wants to take Little Treasure away, let her]

Woah! His brother had accurately guessed Xiao Xi Xiʼs thoughts again! He was caught off guard again.

Once he had received the decree, Lu Jingli changed his stand and said, ”Xiao Xi Xi, just take him away! Bring Little Treasure anywhere, itʼs fine! Iʼll leave it to you now!”

Seeing him change his mind faster than flipping a page, Ning Xi was suspicious, ”Didnʼt you just say that the decision was too heavy and you didnʼt want to easily say yes to me?”

Lu Jingli only replied matter-of-factly, ”I really didnʼt dare to casually say yes to you, but now Iʼve thought it over properly, so it wasnʼt too casual a decision. Iʼm seriously telling you, yes!”

Ning Xi was speechless, then she said, ”You can rest assured, Iʼll bring Little Treasure back before tomorrow morning.”

”You can do that, but itʼs already late at night, where do you plan to bring Little Treasure?”

”Whatʼs wrong with it being at night? Itʼs more romantic to relax at night!” Ning Xi shot him a condescending look, implying that he was shallow. Then she took out her cosmetics bag and started putting on makeup.

Technically, it was a disguise.

Practice made perfect. Ning Xi very quickly made up her face to take on a futuristic sci-fi robot look. Then, she put on her short-haired wig and earrings.

Ning Xiʼs skin now looked like there was no flesh underneath, but as if it were made of metal and steel. She looked very cool.

Lu Jingli watched this with astonishment and exclaimed, ”Xiao Xi Xi! Why did you make your face look like this? Itʼs really cool though! You look like our Robot Butler 1!”

Ning Xi sprung a finger onto him. ”This is a skill that all actors must master if they want to maintain a free soul!”

”Pfft, this skill ainʼt bad. Even if you stood on the busy streets, no one would recognise you!” As Lu Jingli said this, he noticed that when Ning Xi was putting on her makeup, Little Treasureʼs empty eyes started to react, and he was staring at Ning Xi.

When Ning Xi was done with her makeup, she reached to grab Little Treasure from under his armpits, and lightly carried him to sit on her lap. Then she picked up the makeup tools again.

Lu Jingli raised his brows at this and asked, ”Even Little Treasure needs makeup?”

”To be safe! Little Treasureʼs handsome little face is going to attract more attention than mine, okay? Besides, making him up like me, wouldnʼt that be cool? Donʼt worry, these makeup are organic, theyʼre not harmful to the skin,” she explained before starting to work on Little Treasure.

Little Treasure sat obediently in Ning Xiʼs lap without moving an inch, as though he was the most perfect little model.

Ning Xi got it all done very quickly within five minutes.

”Wah! So handsome! I want makeup too!” Lu Jingli said with shining eyes.

Ning Xi scoffed, ”You stay aside, donʼt ruin the dynamic between Little Treasure and I!”

Lu Jingli squatted aside, feeling defeated.

”Fine, since youʼve helped me and Little Treasure so much, Iʼll help you make your face up next time when Iʼm free! Now, Iʼve to take this cutie out!!”

”Okay Iʼll hold you to your word, yeah, youʼre not allowed to break your promise. Iʼll pre-book my makeup for Halloween with you then!”

”No problem!”

Lu Jingli was satisfied, then he quietly led Little Treasure and Ning Xi out of the garden.
