Ning Chengxu keenly noticed her direct gaze and narrowed his eyes.
"Ahem."
He choked twice on purpose.
Mavis was so frightened that she came back to her senses instantly, making her face look embarrassed as if she had done something bad.
The wrist holding the water glass shook uncontrollably.
"sorry!"
Transparent water droplets overflowed from Ning Chengxu's lips, slid down his sharp jawline, and went all the way to his Adam's apple and collarbone.
The string of crystals moved with his breathing, making it more sexy and lustful.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. I'll wipe it off for you."
Mavis felt guilty and crazy, almost like a female animal.
Ning Chengxu was so injured that his handsome face was bruised all over, but she could still think about his Adam's apple that slipped when he drank water.
The tips of her ears instantly turned red. She hurriedly took a tissue and helped Ning Chengxu wipe away the water stains.
Occasionally, my fingertips could touch the skin on his neck, which was soft and warm.
When she raised her head and met Ning Chengxu's narrow and scrutinizing gaze, Mavis felt ashamed and immediately withdrew her hand as if she was electrocuted.
"Okay...Okay, wipe it clean..."
Ning Chengxu stared at her with a pair of blue phoenix eyes, "I don't need to trouble you to do these things from now on. There are servants at home, so you can just use the Ning family as your residence. I won't interfere with whatever you want to do during the day."
Mavis lowered her eyes, "Uncle Man has told me that I am your personal maid, Mr. Xu. As a maid, I should take care of you when you are injured, otherwise the other Ning family members will be suspicious."
He almost forgot about it.
Because Ning Jingxuan asked about it at the dinner table, and her relationship with Mavis was still uncertain at the time, he casually said she was a personal maid.
Now the marriage certificate has been obtained.
Even if it was only for one year, during this year, Mavis was still his wife in name only.
"I didn't handle this matter properly. Because the marriage happened suddenly, I didn't disclose it to the Ning family. You should give this matter a buffer period first. I will find a suitable time to disclose your identity after a while."
Mavis lowered her head sadly.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's not made public. Anyway, the agreement period is only one year, and then the divorce will happen."
"Yes, one year is not long or short. As my legal wife who has been secretly married for this year, you should enjoy the treatment of being Mrs. Ning in the old house."
Not a maid who can tell her what to do.
"You don't have to worry about this, just listen to me."
His attitude was very strong, so Mavis said nothing and took the water glass away.
...
Because his left leg and right hand were fractured and needed to rest, Ning Chengxu postponed the fulfillment of his old bet to seven days.
In these seven days, in order to achieve the best recovery effect, Ning Chengxu never got out of bed.
Mavis insisted on taking care of him. As his wife and nominally personal maid, she had to do this, and Ning Chengxu had no reason to refuse many times.
He helped wipe the body, feed me, give me medicine, and stayed with me to relieve boredom. He took very considerate care of me in all aspects.
The degree of familiarity between the two has also undergone some subtle changes in the past few days.
In the afternoon, after taking care of Ning Chengxu and taking the pills, the bedroom returned to peace and harmony.
