Shuxin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Mu Ning Jing open her eyes. "You're finally awake."
Mu Ning Jing opened her dry and pale lips. "Why am I here?"
"You still have the nerve to ask?" Shuxin's tone was reproachful and worried. "You're already an adult. Don't you know that you have a fever? I saw that you didn't come to the company today. I called you, but you didn't answer. I went to your house and knocked on your door. I almost called the police. In the end, I asked the property management to open the door. You were lying in bed with a fever and unconscious. "
Work?
Today was Monday. She had gone to the Shen family's old mansion on Saturday and climbed into bed to sleep. She had slept for a day and two nights?
Mu Ning Jing lowered her eyes and pondered quietly. Shuxin's worried voice rang in her ears again. "Ningning, why are you sick?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head and looked listless. "I don't know."
Shuxin saw that Mu Ning Jing was very worried and asked her, "Did something happen?"
Mu Ning Jing still shook her head.
"Did Shen Tingxi bully you?"
Hearing the three words "Shen Tingxi", Mu Ning Jing's eyes paused. Her heart suddenly shrank and she felt a little pain.
"It's really him. Just wait. When he comes back, I'll teach him a lesson. He promised me that he would take good care of you and not bully you. Now he's going back on his words …"
"He didn't bully me." Mu Ning Jing interrupted Shuxin's indignant words. Her heart felt warm. No matter what, Shuxin was always on her side.
Shuxin obviously didn't believe her. "If he didn't bully you, why are you in a bad mood?"
"I'm not in a bad mood." Mu Ning Jing's gaze fell on Shuxin's slightly bulging belly. She gently pushed her hand and changed the topic. "You can go back. I'm fine."
"How can that be? Your fever hasn't subsided yet. "
"I'm really fine now. The fever will definitely go down after the injection. There are a lot of germs in the hospital. You're a pregnant woman, so you can't stay here."
Shuxin disagreed. "I'm not that delicate."
"Then I'll leave the hospital now." Mu Ning Jing said and was about to pull out the needle in her hand.
Shuxin pressed her hand down. "Do you want to die? The doctor said that you had a fever for a long time. Even if your fever has subsided, you still have to stay in the hospital for observation. How can you be discharged now? "
"Then you can go back." Mu Ning Jing looked at Shuxin with a look that said, "If you don't leave, I will leave the hospital."
At this moment, Huo Yanqing entered the room. He stood beside Shuxin and Shuxin's height only reached his waist. He placed his hand on Shuxin's shoulder and looked at her tenderly. "Let's go back. Chi Feng will take care of things here."
Shuxin raised her head and looked at Huo Yanqing with a pout. "Why are you like this too?"
"She's right. You're a pregnant woman, so you shouldn't stay in the hospital for too long." Huo Yanqing coaxed Shuxin gently. His voice was full of affection. "Tingxi is already on his way back. He'll be here soon."
Mu Ning Jing's eyes widened as she looked at Huo Yanqing.
Shuxin asked in confusion, "Isn't Shen Tingxi on a business trip?"
"He rushed back," Huo Yanqing replied to Shuxin, but he glanced at Mu Ning Jing.
Shuxin was relieved. It seemed that she had been overthinking. The two of them hadn't quarreled.
Shuxin didn't leave until Shen Tingxi arrived at the hospital.
Shen Tingxi looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed. Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. His eyes were full of heartache. The disappointment he felt when his proposal was rejected disappeared without a trace. She didn't want to marry him because she didn't love him? Did she have a place for him in her heart? Nothing was important when she was sick. He was happy as long as he could stay by her side. Why did he have to be so greedy?
Shen Tingxi held Mu Ning Jing's hand. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head and pulled her hand back. She put it under the blanket.
Shen Tingxi looked at her empty hand and was stunned. He then asked, "Do you want some water?"
Mu Ning Jing closed her eyes. She didn't look at Shen Tingxi at all. "I'm sleepy."
Shen Tingxi stared quietly at Mu Ning Jing for a few seconds and said softly, "Go to sleep. I'll stay here with you."
Mu Ning Jing's eyelashes fluttered. She put her hand under the blanket to her chest and gently grabbed her clothes. After a while, she slowly let go.
In the evening, Shen Tingxi asked Yu He Lou to send light millet porridge over. He got up to help Mu Ning Jing get up to eat. She turned her body slightly and got up from the bed by herself with her elbows.
Shen Tingxi's outstretched hand missed. He paused in the air for two seconds and took back his hand. He sat down by the bed and picked up the porridge to feed her.
Mu Ning Jing stretched out her slender hand. "I can eat by myself."
"It's okay. I'll feed you." Shen Tingxi said with a smile.
Mu Ning Jing stubbornly stretched out her hand. She didn't look at Shen Tingxi but at the bowl in his hand.
Shen Tingxi stared at Mu Ning Jing for a few seconds and finally handed the bowl to her.
After dinner, Shen Tingxi asked Mu Ning Jing if she wanted to go out for a walk. Mu Ning Jing shook her head and picked up the remote control to turn on the TV.
Mu Ning Jing didn't like to talk. In the past, when the two of them watched TV at home, they didn't talk either. However, Mu Ning Jing would be like a well-behaved kitten. She would hug his arm and lean on his shoulder as she quietly watched TV. Therefore, even if they didn't talk, Shen Tingxi also liked the quiet time he spent with Mu Ning Jing. During the day, he was strict and tense. At night, he was comfortable and quiet. He really enjoyed this kind of life.
But today … Mu Ning Jing had been deliberately keeping a distance from him. Her attitude was also very cold. It was obvious that she was alienating him.
While Mu Ning Jing was watching TV, Shen Tingxi didn't look at it. His eyes were fixed on Mu Ning Jing's face.
After being stared at by Shen Tingxi for a long time, Mu Ning Jing couldn't ignore it anymore. She turned to look at him and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
When Shen Tingxi saw that Mu Ning Jing was finally willing to look at him and talk to him, the corners of his mouth immediately hooked up into a smile. He moved the chair closer to the bed. "Nothing. I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you, so I'm looking at you more."
Mu Ning Jing's little face instantly blushed. She looked down at the white sheets on the bed. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I'm going to sleep." Then she pulled the quilt and lay down on the bed.
"Then I'll sleep too." Shen Tingxi got up and turned off the TV. He came to the bedside and lifted the quilt to sleep.
Mu Ning Jing looked at him defensively. Her eyes were full of resistance.
Shen Tingxi raised his hand and promised, "Ningning, don't be afraid. I promise I won't touch you. I'm worried about you sleeping alone. What if you have a fever in the middle of the night?"
Mu Ning Jing pulled the quilt from Shen Tingxi's hand and put it under her body. Then she wrapped herself tightly. Her meaning was obvious. If she didn't give Shen Tingxi a quilt, she wouldn't let him sleep on the bed.
Shen Tingxi shamelessly continued to rub himself on the bed. "I don't want a quilt. I'll sleep next to you."
Mu Ning Jing sat up from the bed and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.
Shen Tingxi grabbed her wrist. "Ningning, where are you going?"
"I'll leave the bed to you."
Shen Tingxi restrained the playfulness in his eyes. A touch of sadness flashed across his eyes. "Ningning, are you still angry about my proposal?"
