Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 359: Sleeping with the Emperor (4)

After she finished drinking, she lay back down.

Lu Xiu sat beside Ning Hua and didn't leave: "What did you dream about? Not only were you grinding your teeth and snoring, but you were also waving your hands and making a threatening gesture..."

Ning Hua didn't say anything. The commander's words made her physically and mentally exhausted... She lazily closed her eyes again.

Lu Xiu didn't take it seriously. He reached out and touched Ning Hua's forehead, then stood up and went back to his desk to work.

Ning Hua couldn't fall asleep again after being woken up by Lu Xiu. She lay there with her eyes closed for a while, then opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, then at Lu Xiu who was sitting behind the desk.

She thought that she really couldn't understand the commander's mind. He wanted to break up with her one moment, and then acted affectionately the next moment.

Is it fun?

Why did he say that she called Zijiang's name in her dream? She called another man's name, but he didn't get angry with her?

Or is it that the commander is actually keeping her as his concubine now, so he doesn't care what she thinks or who she is thinking about?

Ning Hua was staring at Lu Xiu in a daze when she suddenly heard someone say, "Does it look good?"

"What's good to see?"

Lu Xiu raised his head: "Am I good-looking? You've been staring at me for two hours..."

Ning Hua was embarrassed and quickly turned his eyes away from Lu Xiu's face.

"Come over when you've rested. I need your opinion on something."

"Oh."

Ning Hua put on his shoes and walked over: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xiu handed Ning Hua a brochure and said, "The families listed here are all big families in the Leeds Galaxy. Which one do you like?"

Ning Hua took the booklet and flipped through it. It contained the profiles of several families, their histories, the positions of the current heads of the families, and introductions to the family members, including their resumes and love histories.

Ning Hua looked at it for a while, confused: "What are you doing?"

"I'm not doing anything. I'm just going to give you an identity so that when you go out with me, others won't think you're just a commoner and embarrass me."

Ning Hua curled her lips and said, "She's just a maid, who cares about her background?"

"You can't say that. Look at Gene. He's my trademark wherever he goes. He represents the commander's pomp and circumstance. His ancestors are nobles, and they have served the Dylan family for generations. When Gene retires, he will inherit the position of head of the family. Don't underestimate everyone around me. They have all been carefully selected..."

"Oh, since they were all carefully selected, why did Your Highness choose me as a maid? Doesn't this lower your status?"

Lu Xiu rubbed his chin with his thumb and nodded: "Who said it wasn't? That's why I want to give you the title of 'Young Lady' of a big family to save my reputation."

Ning Hua chuckled and lowered his head to flip through the booklet. "Even a maid has to be a daughter of a wealthy family. I wonder how noble the Commander's future wife will be..."

Lu Xiu smiled and said, "You will know later."

Ning Hua paused as he flipped through the booklet: "Lu Xiu, you finally admitted it."

"Admit what?"

"Admit that you're saying these nonsense about 'never getting married' because you despise me for not having a good background."

Lu Xiu spread his hands and said nothing.

Ning Hua snorted softly: "Let's go with this one."

Lu Xiu looked in the direction Ning Hua pointed. "Dumps family? Why did you choose it? Because of Corey?"
