After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.
At the bar.
The music was very loud and bright lights were dancing everywhere to the tempo of the music.
Lu Jingli led Ning Xi into the bar through a special entry, carefully shielding her.
When they reached the entrance, Lu Jingli suddenly stopped and had a serious expression on his face. "Wait, wait... Sister-in-law, let's get something to cover your face! It's attracting too much attention!"
He then grabbed a silver mask that was able to cover half her face from the bar top and put it on Ning Xi, feeling much safer.
Ning Xi looked around the noisy environment, then she understood why Lu Tingxiao would go there to get himself drunk.
Only places like this made him feel alive.
Ning Xi felt an excruciating pain twist her insides.
"My brother is upstairs." Lu Jingli pointed somewhere on the second floor.
