<h4>Chapter 1859: We’re A Family</h4>
"What did Aunty say?" Lu Tingxiao asked after Meng Ling left.
At this point in time, Ning Xi could somewhat guess what Lu Tingxiao was thinking about even when he did not show any emotions.
Ning Xi could sense that his question was not as simple as it seemed.
She carefullyforted him, "Don''t worry, she''s not trying to do anything weird. Aunty is really happy with both you and Little Treasure!
"She just asked me how Father and Mother treating me. I told her everything''s fine. She also asked… when are we having our wedding… and when to announce our rtionship to the public…"
Lu Tingxiao raised an eyebrow when he heard her.
Ning Xi closed in and murmured, "I said soon! With the current situation, I just need good timing!"
Lu Tingxiao grinned. "Thank you, my wife, for the title."
Ning Xi coughed guiltily. "You''re most weed! I swear it''s real this time! Oh, I''m meeting a friend of Aunty''s tonight. She said that I should make contact with more powerful people."
"Aunty is right. She''s genuinely good to you."
…
In the evening, Meng Ling went over to pick Ning Xi up. Her eyes brightened when she saw the dress on Ning Xi.
"Xiao Xi, your outfit looks great."
Ning Xi was relieved. "Really? I was wondering if it might be too simple."
Meng Ling shook her head. "Not at all. It''s great. The fashion sense in Imperialtely has been so weird. The overly colorful style is in trend, and they im that it''s true Chinese fashion.
"While it does look nice, it can get annoying after some time. Seeing a dress like yours among them is really refreshing!"
Especially on a beautiful girl like her niece, this simple outfit made her look like a fairy straight out of a painting.
"If my designer heard your remarks, he''d surely be overjoyed!" Ning Xi said happily.
"This is your own brand? Spirit?" Meng Ling asked in awe. She remembered that Keer liked this brand.
"Yes, my designer went into a slump a while ago and thepany wasn''t doing so well. This dress I''m wearing is from a new series my designer did recently. The theme of the series is ''back to the origins''," replied Ning Xi.
"Back to origins indeed! Your designer is really talented. While everyone is using all kinds of colors extravagantly, he jumped out of the box and reached a new level!" Meng Ling was an expert on fashion herself, so she analyzed and exined her opinion to Ning Xi.
"If your designer is avable, can he custom make one for me too?"
Ning Xi quickly replied, "Of course, as long as you don''t mind!"
Soon, the car reached the venue.
Meng Ling wore an elegant beige qipao. Her well-maintained appearance hid her real age and Ning Xi did not seem like a youngster beside her; they were more like a pair of siblings.
"Xiao Xi, Madam Li You and I grew up together in the same military zone and we''re really good friends. Don''t be too shy towards her. Just think of her as family."
"Mmm, I got it, Aunty." Ning Xi nodded obediently.
Ning Xi understood her aunt''s goodwill and was also clear about Meng Ling''s intention of bringing her here.
Just a few steps ahead was the Heavenly Spring Resort.
The resort was located in a quiet area with beautiful surroundings. There was a naturally-formed river right in front and it was afortable ce with the cool breeze gently blowing.
