"…" Mu Ning Jing was speechless. Was it because pregnant women tended to overthink things?
Actually, Shuxin could not be blamed for thinking the wrong way. Everything was too coincidental. Furthermore, Mu Ning Jing had a quiet and dull personality. How could Shuxin let her meet a powerful and unknown man alone?
Seeing that Mu Ning Jing was not speaking, Shuxin was anxious. She tugged at her arm and looked her up and down. "Did he bully you? Don't be afraid. Tell me. Even if he is the emperor, I will seek justice for him, let alone the mayor. "
Mu Ning Jing's heart was warm and her eyes were wet. She was so lucky. Not only did she meet such a good sister like Shuxin, but she also met such a good elder like Mu Yiqing and such a good boyfriend like Shen Tingxi.
Could it be that she had suffered too much in the past, so God wanted to make it up to her?
Mu Ning Jing's heart was surging with emotions. She could not help but hug Shuxin gently and say softly, "I'm fine. No one bullied me."
Mu Ning Jing was an extremely reserved girl. Shuxin was stunned when she was suddenly hugged by her. Then, she felt flattered. However, Shuxin still asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"
"Yes."
Shuxin was relieved. She patted Mu Ning Jing's slender shoulder blade gently. "It's good that you're okay."
Mu Ning Jing's back stiffened. Only then did she realize what she had done. She quickly let go of Shuxin and lowered her head. Her face was red. "I … I …"
Shuxin smiled generously. "It's okay. I'm very happy. I'm really happy to see you walk out of the past step by step. I'm really happy to see you slowly express your feelings."
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Shuxin with red eyes.
Shuxin opened her arms. "Do you want another hug?"
Mu Ning Jing's face turned even redder, but she didn't lower her head. She hugged Shuxin tightly and said in a choked voice, "Thank you."
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Tell me, how did you convince the mayor to sign the contract?"
Mu Ning Jing didn't let go of Shuxin until she calmed down. Then, she told Shuxin everything that happened during the meal with Mu Yiqing today.
After Shuxin heard this, she said in disbelief, "Damn! How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Mom is the mayor's first wife? "
Mu Ning Jing also felt like she was dreaming.
Shuxin sighed with emotion for a while. Then, she looked at Mu Ning Jing and asked softly, "Did you ask him about Dad?"
Mu Ning Jing's expression was a little gloomy. "I did, but he didn't know. He said that he lost contact with my mom after he graduated from university."
Shuxin sighed. Just as she was about to comfort Mu Ning Jing, the phone on the table rang.
Mu Ning Jing instinctively looked at the table. When she saw the name "Shen Tingxi" appear on Shuxin's phone screen, a thought flashed across her mind. Shen Tingxi had left for two days and hadn't called her. Could something have happened to him? Was he afraid that she would be worried, so he called Shuxin?
Shuxin didn't know that Shen Tingxi was on a business trip. She looked at the phone on the table and asked Mu Ning Jing, "Why is Shen Tingxi calling me?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head.
Shuxin didn't pick up the phone from the table. She swiped the answer button and put it on speaker.
"Sister-in-law, are you busy?" Shen Tingxi's deep voice came from the phone.
Mu Ning Jing instinctively took two steps closer to the table.
"Not at the moment. What's the matter?" Shuxin sat down on the office chair as she spoke.
"It's nothing important … I just wanted to ask if Ning Ning has been well these two days."
Shuxin looked up at Mu Ning Jing and asked with her eyes, "Did you two have a fight?"
Mu Ning Jing looked down at the table.
Shuxin frowned and looked away. She continued to talk to Shen Tingxi. "She keeps everything to herself and doesn't tell me. I don't know if she's well or not. Why don't you ask her face to face?"
"I went abroad."
Shuxin glanced at Mu Ning Jing again. Mu Ning Jing still looked down. "Why didn't you call her when you went abroad?"
"… I didn't dare to call her."
Was there anything that Shen Tingxi didn't dare to do?
Shuxin asked, "Why didn't you dare to call her? Did you do anything wrong to Ning Ning? "
"No. That night, I was drinking with Yanqing. Yanqing sent me to the hotel. At night, I received a call. I was drunk and confused and thought it was Ning Ning. At that time, I hadn't seen Ning Ning for a few days, so I sent her my location and asked her to come and see me. When I woke up in the morning, I saw Yu Anna. I swear, I really didn't do anything with her." Shen Tingxi's slightly anxious voice came through the phone.
Shuxin suddenly remembered that she had asked Mu Ning Jing to go to the hotel to take care of Shen Tingxi that morning. Was that why Mu Ning Jing saw Yu Anna in Shen Tingxi's room? ,
Her boyfriend was drunk and there was another woman in his room. Anyone would misunderstand this, wouldn't they?
Shuxin looked at Mu Ning Jing again. She had already turned her back to her. "Since you said that you didn't do anything wrong to Ning Ning, why didn't you dare to call her? Or did you do it and feel guilty? "
"No. I admit that I wasn't a good man in the past. But ever since I met Ning Ning, I really haven't touched another woman. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yanqing."
My Yanqing isn't wearing his belt. How would he know if he hasn't slept with another woman?
Because Mu Ning Jing was present, Shuxin could only complain in her heart. She said, "Then why didn't you dare to call Ning Ning?"
"When I was abroad, Ning Ning broke up with me. I was afraid that if I called her, the situation would be worse."
Break up?
Shuxin widened her eyes and looked at Mu Ning Jing's back in shock. Mu Ning Jing seemed to feel Shuxin's gaze and her body moved uncomfortably.
Shen Tingxi continued, "Sister-in-law, to be honest with you, I don't know how to love Ning Ning. She's too sensitive. Because of a small misunderstanding, she closed her heart and pushed me far away. I tried to get close to her again and again, but she pushed me away again and again … "
He was probably smoking on the other end. Shuxin could hear the light exhalation of his breath. She could feel that Shen Tingxi had a lot to say in his heart. A man like him usually wouldn't find someone to talk to. Now that he was looking for her, he probably couldn't hold it in anymore and needed to vent. Secondly, he probably wanted to use her to pass a message to Mu Ning Jing.
Now that Mu Ning Jing was here, Shuxin didn't have to relay the message. She didn't say anything and waited for Shen Tingxi to continue.
Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Shen Tingxi's low voice, tinged with loneliness, was heard again.
"I proposed to her twice and was rejected twice. They didn't give me any reason … In the past, it was always women who took the initiative to come to me. I never knew that chasing a woman … was so difficult. I've been chasing Ning Ning for more than a year, but I still don't dare to get close to her … Sometimes I think that maybe it's because I didn't take relationships seriously in the past, so God used Ning Ning to punish me …"
