Seeing that Shen Tingxi didn't speak, Dong Zai wiped the sweat off his palms and continued, "When Miss Mu wasn't around, I punished those people who were spouting nonsense. Now, they're much more well-behaved."
The two of them got into the car. Shen Tingxi said coldly, "Have you checked the things I asked you to?"
Dong Zai shuddered when he said this. He sat up straight and looked like he was driving seriously. "Mu Yiqing is a very steady person. I don't know if he really hasn't done anything bad, or if the old man from the Yu family cleaned him up too well. I didn't find any useful information."
Shen Tingxi's handsome brows instantly furrowed. He only spoke after a long while, but the words he said almost scared Dong Zai to the point of peeing his pants.
He said, "Go slap Hu Xin 'er, and I can let bygones be bygones for your dereliction of duty this time."
Dong Zai's face was pale. Hu Xin 'er was Ninth Master's woman. How would he dare to touch her?
Last time, Young Master asked him to stop Ninth Master from going to Hu Xin 'er's place. He had already offended Ninth Master. At that time, Ninth Master looked at him as if he wanted to skin him alive. During this period of time, he would take a detour whenever he saw Ninth Master, afraid that Ninth Master would take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Now that Young Master asked him to slap Hu Xin 'er, wasn't he deliberately sending him to Ninth Master's hands?
Dong Zai swallowed his saliva and glanced at Shen Tingxi through the rearview mirror in the car. He whispered, "Young Master, Ninth Master will kill me."
Shen Tingxi's brows furrowed, and the cold aura around him intensified. "You're my subordinate. Do you think the old man will kill you for a woman?"
Dong Zai shuddered and realized that he had said something wrong. If he slapped Hu Xin 'er and Ninth Master killed him, it meant that in Ninth Master's heart, Hu Xin' er was more important than Young Master's son.
After all, everyone knew that he was the most capable person by Young Master's side.
However, even if Ninth Master didn't kill him, there were still many ways to make him lose a layer of skin, right?
Dong Zai lit a candle for himself in his heart.
However, Young Master was indeed someone he admired. Last time, Hu Xin 'er slapped Mu Ning Jing. This time, Young Master let him slap her back and also used Ninth Master to punish him. Young Master's methods were brilliant.
…
Mu Ning Jing was discussing a design proposal with Shuxin when she received a text message. She didn't pay much attention to it and continued to discuss with Shuxin before she took out her phone to read the message.
Shen Tingxi sent a message: [I'm back.]
Mu Ning Jing's calm heart instantly rippled. Her eyes curved and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
"What are you looking at? Why are you so happy? "Shuxin could not help but ask.
Mu Ning Jing glanced at Shuxin. "Tingxi is back." Her gaze then landed on the message.
"Yo, yo, yo, your boyfriend is back. Can you still work? Do you want to go back and accompany him? "Shuxin teased with a smile.
Mu Ning Jing knew that Shuxin was teasing her, but she still could not help but blush. She took the design proposal and walked to the door. "I'm going back to work."
"I'm serious. Why don't you go back?" Shuxin smiled at Mu Ning Jing's back.
Mu Ning Jing did not reply. She quickly walked back to her office and lowered her head to work. She realized that she could not calm down at all. Her mind was filled with Shen Tingxi. After staring at the document for a while, Mu Ning Jing took out her phone and pondered about how to reply to Shen Tingxi's message.
[Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?]
After editing it, Mu Ning Jing felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so she deleted it. She thought about it and edited it again.
[After work, I'll go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Come to my house for dinner tonight?]
Mu Ning Jing stared at the edited message for a while before sending it.
Soon, Shen Tingxi replied: [Okay.]
When Mu Ning Jing saw the word "okay," she found it even more difficult to calm down. She had not seen him for a week, but why did it feel like she had not seen him for a century? In the past, Shen Tingxi had often gone on business trips. She would miss him, but it had never been as intense as this time.
Mu Ning Jing was a little absent-minded the whole afternoon. Her work efficiency was much lower than usual. She was a little annoyed that her emotions were fluctuating too much, but she could not control it.
When it was finally time to get off work, Mu Ning Jing hurried out of the company. She never knew that getting off work was such a happy thing.
When she walked out of the door, Mu Ning Jing was stunned. Her gaze was fixed on the man who was smoking not far away. He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers. His tall body was leaning casually against the car door. The side of his face was deep and sharp. The way he smoked was cold and steady, and he was extremely masculine.
He seemed to have felt her gaze and turned to look at her. Then, a touch of tenderness appeared in his cold eyes. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he walked towards her.
Mu Ning Jing stood there in a daze. Her heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.
Shen Tingxi walked in front of Mu Ning Jing. The cigarette in his hand had already been thrown away. His deep gaze fell on the little face in front of him that he had been thinking about day and night. He resisted the urge to hug her in his arms and kiss her fiercely. He asked softly, "Are you off work?"
Mu Ning Jing nodded. Her eyes were filled with joy as she stared unblinkingly at the man in front of her.
Shen Tingxi felt that Mu Ning Jing seemed to have changed. She had never looked at him like this before. Her gaze made his blood boil. Shen Tingxi felt that he was quite useless. In the past, many women had tried to flirt in front of him, but he had no reaction at all. However, just being looked at by Mu Ning Jing like this made him want to raise his head.
"Let's go home." Shen Tingxi turned to avoid Mu Ning Jing's gaze and walked towards the car.
When Mu Ning Jing heard the two words "go home", her heart instantly softened. She followed him. "There's no food at home. Let's go to the supermarket first?"
"Alright."
The two of them got in the car. Shen Tingxi started the engine and merged the car into the traffic.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Shen Tingxi pushed a small cart and followed beside Mu Ning Jing. His tall figure, outstanding facial features, and cold temperament attracted the attention of many women.
Mu Ning Jing secretly raised her eyes to look at Shen Tingxi. The man was half a head taller than her. His expression was indifferent as he followed beside her. It was as if the gazes of the people around him did not exist.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, he turned to look at her. His thin lips curled up slightly. "What are you staring at me for?"
Mu Ning Jing immediately averted her gaze. Her small face flushed red, but her heart was as sweet as honey. He would only remove his cold aura when he was facing her. This special treatment made her very happy.
Shen Tingxi's gaze fell on Mu Ning Jing's demure and gentle smile from the side. His heart thumped wildly. She did not smile often, but she really looked good when she did. The two shallow dimples on her face were especially dazzling. Furthermore, she had a calm temperament that refreshed the heart and refreshed the mind. He was especially fascinated by her.
He wanted to pull her into his arms, but his hand stopped halfway. She did not like him to be so close to her. It would definitely scare her.
He gently grasped her hand and then retracted it.
Mu Ning Jing saw Shen Tingxi's actions. When his hand was about to reach over, her entire body tensed up uncontrollably. But when he retracted his hand, she could not help but feel disappointed.
