"What's the matter?" Shen Tingxi asked.
Shen Jiuyan said, "There's a problem with a batch of firearms. I was planning to go over and take a look. I even booked the plane tickets, but I didn't expect my body to fail me."
Shen Tingxi's expression didn't look too good. He didn't get along well with Mu Ning Jing recently. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Mu Ning Jing might have misunderstood him and Yu Anna today. He didn't want to leave at this time.
But the firearms business was risky, and he and Shen Jiuyan had always handled it personally. Now that Shen Jiuyan was sick, he had no choice but to go. He frowned and asked, "What time is the flight?"
Shen Jiuyan knew that Shen Tingxi had agreed to go. "In an hour."
Shen Tingxi's expression became even worse. It would take more than 40 minutes to get to the airport from his place, and he still had to pack his luggage. There was no time for him to see Mu Ning Jing.
"What's the matter? You can't leave, can you? Why don't I go? "Shen Jiuyan said as she tried to get up from the bed.
"Why are you pretending? Didn't you ask me to come back so that I can go? Lie down properly. "Shen Tingxi looked at Shen Jiuyan coldly, then turned and walked out of the room.
Shen Tingxi returned to his room. He wasn't in a hurry to pack his luggage. Instead, he stood by the window and called Mu Ning Jing. He dialed for a long time, but no one picked up until the call hung up.
Shen Tingxi pinched his temples. He had a hangover and his head was heavy. He put his phone back in his pocket and walked to the walk-in closet. He pulled out his suitcase and threw two sets of clothes into it. Just as he was about to close the suitcase, Ju Qiulan came in. She glanced at the messy suitcase and frowned. "How can you pack your things like this? Let me do it. "
When Shen Tingxi saw Ju Qiulan squatting down to fold his clothes for him, he ignored her and walked over to the watch counter. He leaned against the counter and took out his phone to call Mu Ning Jing. He called her three times in a row, but the result was the same. She didn't pick up.
Shen Tingxi walked to the window irritably, lit a cigarette, and puffed out a cloud of smoke. His deep and sharp facial features were shrouded in the smoke, making him look even more sinister and cold.
Ju Qiulan glanced at her son, who looked irritated even from the back. She said as she packed her clothes, "Xi 'er, smoke less. It's bad for your health."
Shen Tingxi nodded and stood by the window without moving. The cigarette was still in the corner of his mouth, and he looked worried. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the door. "I'll arrange for someone to send the things directly to the airport. I'll be there later."
"Xi 'er, where are you going?" Ju Qiulan hurriedly got up and chased after her.
"I have something urgent to attend to." Shen Tingxi was already out of the bedroom.
Ju Qiulan ran out of the bedroom, but Shen Tingxi had already gone downstairs to the living room. When she couldn't stop him, she could only remind him, "Watch the time. Don't miss the plane."
"Got it." Shen Tingxi left the villa and got into the car. He started the engine, stepped on the gas, and turned the steering wheel. The car sped away from the villa. Everything was done quickly and efficiently.
After the car merged into the traffic, it sped along the main road, running countless red lights along the way. When it arrived at the new residential area, it took three steps at a time to go up the stairs. It came to Mu Ning Jing's room and knocked on the door. "Ningning, open the door."
Shen Tingxi knocked several times, but there was no response. He stood at the door and said, "Ningning, I have something urgent to attend to. Can you see me?"
In the room, on the sofa, Mu Ning Jing's eyes were red from crying. When she heard Shen Tingxi say that he had something urgent to attend to, she didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She quickly got off the sofa and walked to the door. She reached out to open the door, but quickly retracted her hand. She frantically touched her face and saw that it was covered in tears. How could she see him like this?
Moreover, when Shen Tingxi was away, she made a decision. She was as lowly as a speck of dust and should have lived in the dark. She was too greedy and actually wanted to walk into the sunlight. It was time to wake up from the dream. She shouldn't force things that didn't belong to her. Forcing it would only make her feel more ashamed.
"Shen Tingxi … let's break up."
Outside the door, Shen Tingxi's heart ached. His face instantly turned cold. "I don't agree. Why should we break up?" He pounded on the door. "Ningning, open the door."
Mu Ning Jing squatted on the ground and covered her face as she sobbed.
"Ningning, open the door. If you don't open it, I'll kick it." Shen Tingxi waited for two seconds, but there was no response. He was really pushed by Mu Ning Jing and really lifted his foot to kick the door.
Mu Ning Jing was so scared that she stood up from the ground. She lived in an old neighborhood and the door was already fragile. In addition, Shen Tingxi was very strong. With just one kick, the door shook a few times. It looked like it was about to be kicked open.
Mu Ning Jing quickly walked over and pressed her back against the door. She cried and said, "I don't want to see you."
When Shen Tingxi kicked again, he found that there was resistance. He guessed that Mu Ning Jing was resisting it. He was afraid that he would hurt her, so he didn't dare to kick again. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. He was running out of time. He frowned and said anxiously, "Ningning, there was a misunderstanding about the hotel. There's nothing between Yu Anna and me. You have to believe me. I don't agree to break up. I have something urgent to deal with.
You have to take care of yourself. "There was no response from the room. Shen Tingxi sometimes really didn't know how to love Mu Ning Jing. She was quiet, sensitive, fragile, and untouchable. It was as if no matter what he did, it was wrong. That feeling of being distant tortured his heart.
He didn't care about anything else and kept her by his side.
This thought often appeared in his mind.
For example, right now, he wanted to rush in and press Mu Ning Jing under his body. He wanted to fiercely possess her and let her feel his love for her.
Before this thought could swallow his rationality, Shen Tingxi turned around and quickly walked downstairs.
Because he knew that once some things were done, it might be irreversible.
In the room, Mu Ning Jing heard the footsteps downstairs getting softer and softer. She quickly opened the door and walked to the staircase. She looked down and didn't see Shen Tingxi. She then ran to the window of the corridor and looked down. She saw Shen Tingxi wearing a dark gray shirt and black trousers. He walked quickly to the car not far away, opened the door, and sat in the car. The black off-road vehicle quickly disappeared from her sight.
As the car left, Mu Ning Jing felt that her heart was suddenly empty.
…
When Shen Tingxi appeared at the airport, Dong Zai's tensed nerves finally relaxed. He thought that Shen Tingxi wasn't coming and quickly walked over. "Young Master, the plane is about to take off."
Shen Tingxi strode towards the security checkpoint. "Arrange for two more people to go over there. If anything happens to her while I'm away, I'll ask them."
Dong Zai hurriedly nodded. "Young Master, don't worry. I'll definitely put Miss Mu's safety first."
"Okay." Shen Tingxi raised his hand and gestured for him to stop. "You don't have to send me off."
Dong Zai watched as Shen Tingxi's figure disappeared from his sight. He turned around and began to arrange for people to protect Mu Ning Jing. This was the person in Young Master's heart. He didn't dare to be careless.
