Shen Tingxi smiled faintly. Not a bad start. He continued, "I've had many women in the past. Are you afraid that I'll still be with those women in the future?"
Mu Ning Jing turned her head and looked at Shen Tingxi nervously. She didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question. Was it because of her fear of the relationship between men and women that he lost his patience and didn't want to wait any longer? Was he looking for another woman?
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Ning Jing's heart ached faintly. Her eyes suddenly became wet. She looked at Shen Tingxi pitifully with her misty eyes.
Shen Tingxi was frightened. He quickly took her hand and said, "Ningning, don't think too much. I'm not looking for another woman. I just want to ask if you have this worry in your heart."
Mu Ning Jing nodded. How could she not? She spent almost every day in self-doubt and fear.
She had a bad background and a terrible past. Did Shen Tingxi really like her like this? Would it be like what Mu Yiqing and Hu Xin 'er said? That he was only interested in her for a while and would lose interest in her after a while?
She resisted his intimacy. She didn't know if she could walk out of the shadow of the past in the future. Although she was trying hard, she was still full of fear of the relationship between men and women. She really didn't have the slightest confidence that she could be with him completely. But he was a normal man. After a long time, he would definitely leave her, right?
"If there was a way to make me completely belong to you, would you be willing to do it?"
Mu Ning Jing's misty eyes were instantly filled with fear. She subconsciously pulled her hand out of Shen Tingxi's palm. "I … I'm not … ready yet."
Shen Tingxi was stunned for a moment before he realized that Mu Ning Jing had misunderstood him. Shen Tingxi helplessly smiled at her sensitivity. "It's not the way you think. It's something else. It's a very pure way that doesn't require intimate contact. Are you willing?"
Mu Ning Jing's watery eyes were filled with surprise and excitement. She quickly nodded. "I'm willing."
As a person who had been through bloody battles, what kind of scenes had he not seen before? But Shen Tingxi, who was not afraid of anything, was a little scared at this moment. There was no other way. His self-confidence had been seriously damaged after being rejected twice.
Shen Tingxi exhaled softly. Under Mu Ning Jing's expectant gaze, he said seriously, "We can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate and become a legal couple. I will belong to you for the rest of my life."
Mu Ning Jing was stunned. Was he proposing to her again?
After the pleasant surprise, there was hesitation and helplessness.
She had promised Ju Qiulan that she would not marry Shen Tingxi within a year.
Mu Ning Jing retracted her gaze and slowly lowered her head. "Tingxi …"
"If you think it's too noisy to hold a wedding, we don't have to hold one. If you're busy with work and don't have time, we can wait until you have time to get a marriage certificate. Also, if you don't want to have sex with me, I won't force you. I can wait." Shen Tingxi looked nervous and his tone was anxious.
Mu Ning Jing's hands were tightly clasped together. Because she was using too much strength, her slender fingers turned white. After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sleepy."
Shen Tingxi's heart ached fiercely. His expression instantly became dejected. Was she rejecting him again?
But he was not willing to give up. Shen Tingxi held Mu Ning Jing's shoulders. Because of his emotions, his grip was a little heavy. He looked at her deeply. "Why? Ningning, I can feel that you care about me. Why are you still rejecting me? "
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Shen Tingxi. The hurt in his eyes made her unable to look straight at him. She quickly lowered her head again, gently twisted her shoulders and said softly, "You're hurting me."
"Ningning, what are you running away from?"
"You're really hurting me … I'm sleepy."
Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Ning Jing in defeat and stubbornness. However, she kept her head down and had no intention of changing her mind. The disappointment in Shen Tingxi's eyes deepened. He gradually loosened his grip and let go of her. His voice was filled with endless disappointment. "You should rest."
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Shen Tingxi walking slowly towards the door. His tall and straight back revealed a loneliness that broke her heart. She pursed her lips and the tears that she had been holding back for a long time fell.
Mu Ning Jing sat by the bed for a long time. Her ears were listening to the movements in the room next door, but she did not hear a single sound. The villa was so quiet that it was as if he was not here at all.
What was he doing? Would he ignore her from now on? Would he leave her just like that?
The more Mu Ning Jing thought about it, the more worried she became. She could not sit still anymore. She got up and walked out of the room. She came to Shen Tingxi's door. The door was not closed. She looked around the house but did not see him.
Mu Ning Jing was frightened. Did he leave? But she did not hear any sound. Could it be that the soundproofing of the house was so good that she did not feel anything when he went out?
Mu Ning Jing walked into the room hurriedly. She searched the balcony and the bathroom, but there was still no one. After leaving his room, Mu Ning Jing's face turned pale. Strings of tears fell down. He left. Did he not want her anymore?
Mu Ning Jing looked around the villa. When she came to the door of the study and saw the familiar figure, her tense nerves relaxed.
He stood in front of the window with his back to the door. His hands were in his trouser pockets. His tall and straight figure was in a trance under the bright and dark light. His sadness was reflected in his cold and gloomy back.
Mu Ning Jing looked at him quietly at the door for a while. Then she turned around and went back to the room. She lay on the bed and did not sleep.
The night was getting darker.
It was not until the latter half of the night that there was movement in Shen Tingxi's room.
Mu Ning Jing rolled around in bed. She did not know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, the sky was just hazy. She washed up and went to Shen Tingxi's room. His bed was clean and tidy. The quilt on the bed seemed to be the same as she folded it yesterday. Did he not sleep last night?
Mu Ning Jing looked around the villa but did not see him. She saw a hot breakfast on the dining table in the living room. It was porridge and fried dumplings from Yuhe Building. There was a note under the lunch box. The words were full and powerful.
It said: Eat well.
Four simple words that were filled with worry.
For several days, Mu Ning Jing did not see Shen Tingxi. However, she received several calls from Dong Zai every day. They all said that Shen Tingxi was very busy and very good. Did he want Dong Zai to report his whereabouts to her so that she could rest assured?
But he did not want to call her personally.
At night, he came back to sleep every day. However, it was very late. Sometimes, he came back in the early morning. He just came back to take a shower, change his clothes, and went out again.
This kind of life lasted for nearly ten days. Shen Tingxi went on a business trip. When Mu Ning Jing returned home, she saw the note he left on the dining table. He did not say when he would return. He only asked her to eat well and sleep well.
Mu Ning Jing stared at the note in her hand for a long time. As she looked at it, tears fell down. Then she squatted on the ground and cried uncontrollably. It was as if she had been holding it in these days. Now that she suddenly vented it out, it was like a flood that had been opened. She could not stop it.
