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 midnight in Platinum Palace, the light in the study room was still on.
Lu Jingli looked at the documents in his hand with his bleary eyes that could barely open while a certain someone was still handling the complicated-looking documents.
He had been on guard for the past few days. Since he was not able to convince him, he just stayed by to make sure that everything would be alright.
"Bro... Bro... I know... You want to show Sister-in-law a peaceful world when she wakes up... and to tell her, 'Look, this is what I got you!' How damned romantic! But you have to be alive when the time comes, don't you?"
Lu Tingxiao stared at Lu Jingli who was now lying weakly on the sofa.
Lu Jingli then cowered unconsciously. "What now? Do you want to hit me again? Fine, fine...I know... I'll shut up! I need to keep myself alive to look after you on Xiao Xi Xi's behalf!"
Suddenly, Lu Tingxiao's phone rang.
The man picked it up.
