2 – How did you end up in this presidential suite?
Soon, Chu Ke composed herself.
From now on, she was Lu Xiao Ning!
She turned on the faucet, scooped a handful of water, and washed her face.
After drying her face with a towel, Lu Xiao Ning observed her features in the mirror.
Almond-shaped round eyes, sparkling and bright.
A small, high, and pointed nose.
Plump lips, full like luscious, ripe cherries.
Her entire face was of the cute and soft type, appearing guileless—the kind of looks that made people like her at first sight.
Lu Xiao Ning thought, her enemy was the powerful Second Prince, a royal candidate of T Country.
Getting close to him and entering the T Royal Palace would not be easy.
For now, she needed to adapt to Lu Xiao Ning’s identity, disguise herself well, and wait for the right opportunity.
Thinking this, she walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and quickly rinsed herself off.
Honestly, that mysterious man last night was really strong. He had kept her up all night, leaving her whole body sore now.
Lowering her gaze, she glanced at the bruises covering her body and felt even more that the original owner was terribly unlucky.
Not only did she die from alcohol allergy, but she was also violated by a man whose identity was unknown…
Don’t worry, she would eventually find out who this man was and properly seek justice for the original owner!
…
Over ten minutes later, Lu Xiao Ning finished washing up and changed into her own clothes—the uniform of a Royal Power Hotel attendant.
Just as she was about to leave the room, the door suddenly beeped.
Then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a group of royal guards rushed in.
Almost simultaneously, Lu Xiao Ning was surrounded by these royal guards.
They raised their rifles one by one, aiming at her.
“Ning Ning?”
Before Lu Xiao Ning could speak, a girl wearing the same hotel attendant uniform exclaimed in surprise.
She stared at Lu Xiao Ning, completely stunned.
Searching through the original owner’s memories, Lu Xiao Ning finally recognized the girl in front of her—her college classmate, with whom she had a good relationship. They had come to work at the Royal Power Hotel together.
Two guards circled the room and quickly reported to the guard captain.
“There’s no one else in the room.”
“Is that so?”
The guard captain looked incredulous, his fierce eyes fixed intently on Lu Xiao Ning.
Lu Xiao Ning snapped out of her daze and immediately imitated the original owner’s personality, smiling slightly dully.
“Guard brother, who are you looking for?”
“Why are you in this room?” the guard captain asked coldly.
Lu Xiao Ning’s expression remained unchanged, calm and composed, appearing completely guileless.
“I’m a hotel attendant. I came to clean the room?”
The guard captain glanced at Lu Xiao Ning’s attire, his gaze lingering on the badge on her collar for a moment. “Lu Xiao Ning, very well.”
He uttered Lu Xiao Ning’s name, then waved his hand. “Withdraw!”
After the well-trained guards withdrew like lightning, Tang Ting Ting patted her chest, looking as if she had narrowly escaped danger.
She strode over to Lu Xiao Ning. “Ning Ning, confess honestly! Why are you in this presidential suite?”
“I came to clean,” Lu Xiao Ning replied with a smile.
“Liar! I’m on duty today. What cleaning are you talking about!”
Tang Ting Ting snorted, her eyes scanning the room quickly.
Soon, she rushed to the bar counter, picked up the empty bottle of century-old Spanish white wine, and exclaimed in shock, “Holy crap! Lu Xiao Ning, tell me! Did you steal and drink this?”
At that moment, Lu Xiao Ning was utterly bewildered, feeling as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through her heart.
Could she refuse to take the blame for the original owner’s mess?
“Lu Xiao Ning, speak!” Tang Ting Ting’s face was already twisted with anger.
Lu Xiao Ning sighed helplessly and nodded. “Yes, I drank it.”
“You… you… do you even know this bottle of wine is worth 520,000? It’s a private collection of the guest in this room!
It’s over. If he finds out his famous wine was stolen and drunk, you getting fired is the least of your worries. But how are you going to pay back 520,000?
Ning Ning, why don’t you run away quickly? Take your mom and leave Manchester! Yes, run now!”
After saying this, Tang Ting Ting put down the empty bottle, hurried over to Lu Xiao Ning, and started pushing her.
Lu Xiao Ning’s face was filled with speechlessness.
They say birds of a feather flock together. Lu Xiao Ning was naive and simple-minded, but who would have thought her friend was even more naive! Even simpler!
Was it really such a big deal—just a bottle of white wine worth 520,000?
If she drank it, she drank it. Was there really a need to run away as if fleeing for her life?
“Don’t worry, I’m actually waiting for the guest to come find me!” Lu Xiao Ning said.
Tang Ting Ting immediately reached out and touched her forehead, letting out an incredulous “Huh?” “Ning Ning, you don’t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?”
“No fever, I’m perfectly normal.” Lu Xiao Ning took hold of Tang Ting Ting’s hand, moved it away, and smiled.
Tang Ting Ting was even more surprised. “Ning Ning, you’re acting a bit strange today. I feel like… you seem like a completely different person…”
“Really?” Lu Xiao Ning suddenly felt nervous and quickly searched the original owner’s memories. She pinched Tang Ting Ting’s earlobe and made a funny face.
This was an intimate gesture only shared between her and Tang Ting Ting, something no one else knew about.
Seeing this action, Tang Ting Ting finally relaxed.
“Alright then, I’m heading home now. You focus on work, do your best!” Lu Xiao Ning made a cheering gesture and started to leave.
“Hey! What about this wine…”
“Leave my number. When the guest comes, tell him to find me!”
“Ning Ning…”
Hearing Lu Xiao Ning’s reckless words, Tang Ting Ting sighed.
This clueless girl!
No, she had to hurry outside to buy some white wine and secretly refill this empty bottle.
That way, the guest probably wouldn’t notice!
…
After leaving the presidential suite, Lu Xiao Ning finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
It seemed that adapting to the original personality of this body was still a daunting task ahead.
Returning to the staff lounge, she changed out of her uniform, packed her things, and left the hotel.
Usually, Lu Xiao Ning rode her bike to and from work.
Since she was a senior in college, she didn’t need to attend classes anymore. This year was basically for internships.
Following her memories, Lu Xiao Ning found her old, worn-out bicycle.
Supporting the clattering bike, whose parts seemed ready to fall apart, she left the parking lot and decided that once she got home, she would have to modify this bike.
Unlike the original owner, who was utterly useless, she was capable of anything.
Not just modifying a bicycle—even modifying planes or cannons would be no problem for her.
As Lu Xiao Ning got on the bike, feeling the joy of her rebirth and humming a tune while preparing to head home, a black Mercedes suddenly sped out from the intersection.
The Mercedes-Benz car brushed past her bicycle and came to a steady stop.
Lu Xiao Ning had a feeling that the person inside had come for her.
With her feet planted on the ground, she remained calm, quietly waiting for the person in the car to step out.
