Shen Tingxi waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Ji Chifeng didn't continue, he raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What are you trying to say?"
"I just feel that … it's so tiring to love. Why don't you let go? You'll be relaxed and she won't be so stressed."
"I'm not letting go." Shen Tingxi answered without thinking. After answering, he thought of the way Mu Ning Jing looked at him and his eyes dimmed. He leaned heavily against the sofa and took a few puffs of his cigarette. He looked up and slowly blew out smoke rings. "She rejected my proposal three times and broke up with me twice …"
Shen Tingxi's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. His hand that was holding the cigarette fell on the sofa. "I used to play around and didn't take relationships seriously. God probably couldn't stand it anymore and sent her to punish me."
Ji Chifeng looked at the man who had always been cold and domineering opposite him revealing such a sad side. He was a little surprised. No one would have thought that Shen Tingxi, who was fearless and adventurous, would be so upset over a woman, right?
Ji Chifeng originally wanted to persuade Shen Tingxi to let go, but he suddenly couldn't bear to. "Actually, as long as she actively cooperates with the treatment, it won't be a problem for her to return to normal. But you have to be patient with her."
Shen Tingxi smoked in silence. After a while, he finally spoke. His voice was deep and hoarse, probably due to the smoke. "If letting go is what she wants … I'll try to fulfill her wish."
Ji Chifeng wanted to say something, but Shen Tingxi's phone rang.
It was Dong Zai.
"Young Master, have you returned to Fan City?"
Shen Tingxi replied with an "Mm" and asked, "What's the matter?"
Dong Zai's voice was trembling. "Young Master, Miss Mu has never liked to go out. It's normal for her to not go out for a day or two. I really didn't know that she had a fever at home."
Shen Tingxi didn't let Dong Zai protect Mu Ning Jing in case she found out. Naturally, he wouldn't blame Dong Zai because of this. "Mm."
Dong Zai hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Young Master, Miss Mu went to the Shen family's old mansion on Saturday."
Shen Tingxi sat up from the sofa. "What is she doing there?"
"I'm not sure. She didn't stay for long. She came out in less than an hour. Master Nine even arranged for someone to send her home. I didn't report anything unusual to you."
Shen Tingxi frowned. This time, Ningning suddenly wanted to break up with him. He thought it was because of his proposal. Now that he thought about it, it didn't seem like it. He had proposed to Ningning twice before. Although Ningning refused, she didn't say that she wanted to break up with him. Moreover, he stayed at home for a few days after the proposal. They just didn't talk. Ningning didn't mean to break up with him. Could it be that the old man did something to Ningning?
Thinking of this, Shen Tingxi stood up and hurried to the door.
"Tingxi, Doctor Qin is coming in a while. Don't you want to know about Miss Mu's condition?" Ji Chifeng stood up and asked Shen Tingxi's back.
"I have something urgent to do. Help me take care of Ningning." Shen Tingxi disappeared from the door after saying this.
About half an hour later, Shen Tingxi entered Shen Jiuyan's villa with a gloomy face. There was no one in the living room except for a servant cleaning. When she saw Shen Tingxi enter, she respectfully called out, "Young Master."
Shen Tingxi asked with a cold face, "Where is the old man?"
The servant said, "Master is upstairs in the study …"
Shen Tingxi didn't finish listening and turned around to stride towards the stairs.
"Young Master, there are guests upstairs." The servant hurriedly added to Shen Tingxi's back.
Shen Tingxi ignored her and quickly arrived at the door of the study. He didn't even knock and directly pushed the door open. When he entered, he saw Shen Jiuyan talking to someone. That person was sitting with his back facing the door and his back looked familiar.
Perhaps he heard the movement at the door, for the man turned his head.
Shen Tingxi frowned when he saw that person's face. It was actually Mu Yiqing. What was he doing here?
When Mu Yiqing saw Shen Tingxi enter, he stood up and said goodbye to Shen Jiuyan. "I have something to do. I'll take my leave first."
Shen Jiuyan smiled and stood up. "Take care."
When Mu Yiqing walked past Shen Tingxi, his footsteps paused for a moment as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only glanced at him twice and left.
When Shen Jiuyan saw that Mu Yiqing had left, she looked at Shen Tingxi unhappily. "Why didn't you knock? You don't even know the most basic manners. "
"Why did you ask Ningning to come here?" Shen Tingxi looked at Shen Jiuyan as if he was questioning him.
Shen Jiuyan frowned slightly. "Is this the attitude you should have when talking to your old man?"
"You secretly asked to see my girlfriend behind my back. Is this the way an old man should act?" Shen Tingxi retorted coldly.
Shen Jiuyan's face immediately darkened. His words made it sound as if he had taken a liking to his son's woman. "Bastard, you have no sense of propriety at all."
Shen Tingxi sat down on the sofa boldly. He took out a cigarette and said, "Ningning wants to break up with me. Tell me, what did you do to her?"
Shen Jiuyan was slightly stunned. Then, she sat down opposite Shen Tingxi. "She's quite sincere about you."
Shen Tingxi frowned and stopped lighting the cigarette. "What do you mean?"
"I didn't do anything to her. I just said a few words."
Shen Tingxi lit the cigarette in his hand and took a puff. "What words?" he asked.
Shen Jiuyan told Shen Tingxi about the conversation between her and Mu Ning Jing that day.
Shen Tingxi stood up immediately. His deep facial features were instantly covered in dark clouds. Hostility appeared between his eyebrows. "Who allowed you to say these things to her?"
Shen Jiuyan looked indifferent. "Did I say something wrong? Isn't it dangerous for her to be with you? Aren't you showing your weakness to your opponent by taking her too seriously? Also, aren't you going to die if you offend the Yu family because of her? "
Shen Tingxi fiercely threw the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray. His ink-black eyes were like a bottomless abyss, dark and gloomy, making people feel a little creeped out. "I will deal with my own matters. It's not up to you to meddle in other people's business."
Shen Jiuyan snorted. "Deal with it? Can you hide her forever? Didn't I hide your mother and you well enough back then? She didn't even dare to look at you. What happened in the end? Are you living well? "
Shen Tingxi clenched his fists. "That's because you're incompetent. I won't be like you. If they want to touch the people around me, they have to have the ability to do so. Ningning has been with me for almost a year. Who dares to touch her?"
Being called incompetent, especially by her son, Shen Jiuyan was so angry that her heart hurt. She stood up from the sofa with a livid face. "That's because you didn't live with her before. Moreover, Yu Anna pestered you and acted as a cover for her. Those people in the dark didn't dare to act rashly. Otherwise, do you think she would be safe and sound?"
Shen Tingxi didn't care. He didn't want to talk nonsense with Shen Jiuyan. He just wanted to go to the hospital to comfort Ningning. He turned and walked towards the door of the study.
Shen Jiuyan stopped him. "Stop right there!"
Shen Tingxi didn't stop walking, as if he didn't hear Shen Jiuyan.
Shen Jiuyan spoke again. "Do you know why Mu Yiqing came to see me?"
