Mu Ning Jing whispered the doctor's words, "The past is the past. Nothing is more important than the present."
"Yes, forget the past and face the present. This is the first thing you should do."
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Mu Ning Jing's relaxed nerves suddenly tensed up, as if she was afraid that her secret would be heard by others. She immediately hung up the phone, adjusted her mood, and got up to open the door.
When she opened the door, Shen Tingxi appeared at the door.
He was wearing a dark gray shirt and black trousers. His deep and sharp facial features were more three-dimensional under the light of the corridor.
"Why are you here?" Mu Ning Jing looked surprised. She had just made a phone call. How did he appear in front of her?
"I felt that something was wrong when I heard your voice on the phone. I was worried about you, so I came here." Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Ning Jing and asked tentatively, "Ningning, can I come in?"
Mu Ning Jing had been thinking about Hu Xiner's words before. She was afraid that she and Shen Tingxi would be separated. Later, after talking with Shen Tingxi on the phone, she was moved and missed him very much. Just now, she had been chatting with Doctor Qin. In the final analysis, they were talking about being close to Shen Tingxi.
Therefore, Mu Ning Jing's heart had been immersed in Shen Tingxi. Now that he suddenly appeared in front of her, after the surprise, there was only joy and palpitation left.
Mu Ning Jing turned sideways and stood by the door.
Shen Tingxi's eyes were smiling. He knew that Mu Ning Jing meant to let him in.
The two of them entered the door. Mu Ning Jing poured a glass of water for Shen Tingxi.
Shen Tingxi sat on the sofa, glanced at the documents on the coffee table, and then looked at Mu Ning Jing. "Are you working?"
"… Yes."
"You should go out for a walk after work. Don't put all your thoughts on work."
"Yes."
Shen Tingxi helplessly curled his lips. This was not the first time he had said this. Every time he said this, Mu Ning Jing would nod in agreement. But in fact, she had never acted on it. Unless he was not in a hurry to drag her out of the house, she would not go out after returning from the company.
Shen Tingxi was relieved to see that Mu Ning Jing was fine. He was afraid that Mu Ning Jing would be afraid of him, so he got up and prepared to leave. "You should rest early. Don't stay up late. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, and we'll have breakfast together."
"Alright." Mu Ning Jing followed Shen Tingxi to the door. Looking at his tall and straight back, she couldn't bear to part with him. Her hands curled up, and she took a few steps forward to hold Shen Tingxi's hand.
Shen Tingxi turned around, joy spreading in his deep eyes. Ning Ning took the initiative to approach him again. "What's wrong?"
Mu Ning Jing blushed slightly. She looked down at their hands. The warmth of his palm was transmitted to her hand, and it warmed her heart. "Can you … stay with me for a while longer?"
If it was in the past, Shen Tingxi would definitely laugh and tease Mu Ning Jing. "You want me to stay tonight? Do you want me to spend the night here?"
But now, he didn't dare to say that. She was too sensitive now, and he was afraid that saying it would scare her.
Shen Tingxi smiled and said, "Okay." Then he held her hand and walked back to the sofa. They sat down and didn't say anything. He just looked at the quiet girl beside him, and he was in a particularly good mood.
As he looked at her, he felt that something was wrong. He reached out to touch her face. "What's wrong with your face?"
Mu Ning Jing hurriedly turned away. Her face was slapped by Ju Qiulan. She had been icing it last night, and it was still a little swollen when she went to work in the morning. But she bought a hot egg and rolled it on her face for a long time in the morning. It was almost healed. "It's nothing."
Shen Tingxi frowned and turned Mu Ning Jing's face back. His gaze was so cold that it was a little frightening. "Did someone hit you?"
"No."
Shen Tingxi obviously didn't believe her. He took out his phone and was about to call Dong Zai to ask him if anyone had interacted with Mu Ning Jing today. But before he could make the call, Mu Ning Jing snatched his phone away. "It's really nothing. I accidentally knocked against the door last night."
Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Ning Jing deeply. He didn't say anything and just looked at her.
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and suppressed the panic that arose from his gaze. "It's true."
Shen Tingxi's gaze gradually softened. "I'm really worried about you living alone …" Why don't I move over to take care of you?
The last sentence lingered on the tip of her tongue before she swallowed it back down.
Shen Tingxi had been accompanying Mu Ning Jing at her place.
Mu Ning Jing was reading materials in the living room. Shen Tingxi stood on the balcony and smoked, afraid that he would disturb her. His back was leaning against the railing, and his tall figure was hidden in the night. He looked through the window and watched her work quietly.
Mu Ning Jing went to the bathroom to wash up, and Shen Tingxi watched TV in the living room.
Mu Ning Jing slept, and Shen Tingxi sat by the bed to accompany her. He only left quietly when he heard her breathing evenly.
After leaving Yishin Community, Shen Tingxi called Dong Zai. "Who came into contact with Ning Ning today?"
"Hu Xin 'er went to the company to see Miss Mu in the morning. Miss Mu hasn't left the company since."
"Got it." Shen Tingxi hung up the phone, and his face instantly darkened. His eyes were darker than the night outside. He turned the steering wheel and drove the car away from the original route.
Hu Xin 'er had just finished showering when the doorbell rang. She raised her delicate eyebrows. Who would come at this time of night?
Hu Xin 'er, who was wearing a red spaghetti strap dress, walked to the door and saw the man standing at the door through the peephole. Her eyes were filled with shock, and a trace of fear spread in her heart.
When Ju Qiulan first found out about her existence, she and Shen Jiuyan had gotten into a huge fight.
At that time, she was still working at a nightclub. Shen Tingxi went to find her and pushed open the door of the private room. He didn't say much, but his strong aura and hostility made the lively private room instantly fall silent.
He walked in front of her and his cold gaze landed on her. If looks could kill, his gaze would definitely be the sharpest and coldest knife in the world.
He smashed the coffee table in the private room with a punch, left a sentence and left.
He said, "Adjust your attitude and position. Otherwise, this … will be your ending."
If she wasn't smart and Master Jiu had been protecting her, she would have been killed by Shen Tingxi.
The doorbell was still ringing, but Hu Xin 'er didn't open the door. Instead, she turned to the room to get her phone and called Shen Jiuyan. "Master Jiu, Tingxi is at my door now."
"Why is he at your place?" Shen Jiuyan asked.
"I don't know."
The other end was silent for two seconds. "Don't open the door first. Leave the rest to me."
"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Hu Xin 'er found a small suit and put it on. Then, she went to the door to listen.
Outside the door, Shen Tingxi leaned against the door frame with a cigarette in his mouth. His phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he frowned and turned to look into the room through the door. The corners of his lips curled up coldly, as if he was mocking and contemptuous.
His well-defined fingers swiped the answer button and he put the phone to his ear. With the cigarette in his mouth, he asked, "Old man, what's the matter?"
