With Old Man Yu's personality, if he knew that Mu Yiqing had cheated on his precious daughter, how could he just be angry?
However, if Mu Yiqing confessed honestly that this was his affair before marriage, even though Old Man Yu was angry, he could only keep it in his heart and not show it on the surface. Mu Yiqing could still maintain the image of an honest person who confessed honestly, and Old Man Yu would still not give up on him. He would probably still help him hide this matter.
After all, if this matter was exposed, not only would it greatly affect Mu Yiqing's future, but the Yu family would also be disgraced. The image that the Yu family had built up over the years would be destroyed.
As an official, reputation was the most important thing.
"Tingxi …" Yu Anna called out softly when she saw that Shen Tingxi was silent.
Shen Tingxi snapped out of his daze and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Yu Anna chased after him. "Tingxi, don't worry. I won't let Grandpa implicate the Shen family in this matter. Now that Mu Ning Jing and Doctor Qin have left, she has nothing to do with you anymore."
Yu Anna said the last sentence carefully, with a hint of probing.
Shen Tingxi stopped in his tracks. His heart ached slightly. He pursed his lips and remained silent for two seconds. Then he said coldly, "I'll make whoever dares to touch a hair on Ningning's head pay back a thousand times over."
Even if they couldn't be together, he couldn't let anyone hurt her.
Ju Qiulan frowned and said, "Xi 'er, Mu Ning Jing has already run away with another man. A fickle woman like her doesn't deserve your kindness. Why can't you see that Nana is sincere to you?"
Yu Anna looked at the broad back of the man in front of her. Her teary eyes were full of love.
Shen Tingxi didn't seem to hear Ju Qiulan and continued walking towards the kitchen.
"Xi 'er …"
Yu Anna grabbed Ju Qiulan's arm. "Aunt Ju, don't say anymore."
Ju Qiulan held Yu Anna's hand and said gently, "Nana, you're a good girl. Xi 'er is immature and doesn't know how to cherish you. Don't worry. In my heart, you're the only daughter-in-law I'll recognize."
"It's okay. Let him have some time alone. I'll wait for him." Yu Anna's words were directed at Ju Qiulan, but her eyes were fixed on Shen Tingxi, hoping that he would respond. However, he did not respond at all, and his figure soon disappeared at the kitchen door.
Ju Qiulan saw the disappointment in Yu Anna's eyes and quickly changed the topic. "Shall we have dinner here tonight?"
Yu Anna wanted to stay, but when she thought of the last few times Ju Qiulan asked her to stay for dinner, Shen Tingxi didn't go downstairs and just ate upstairs, she felt terrible. It was enough to embarrass herself a few times. There was no need to embarrass herself again and again. "No, I …"
Before Yu Anna could finish, Ju Qiulan interrupted her. "Stay. Dinner will be served soon."
"Aunt Ju, thank you, but I …"
"Xi 'er." Ju Qiulan saw Shen Tingxi coming out of the kitchen and hurried over to him.
Shen Tingxi stood in the same spot without moving. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a glass of water. His tall figure stood there casually, creating a beautiful scenery.
Ju Qiulan walked up to Shen Tingxi and tugged on his arm. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she whispered, "You have to eat downstairs tonight. Otherwise, don't expect me to agree to let you be with Mu Ning Jing for the rest of your life."
After saying that, she raised her voice and said, "Nana will be having dinner at home tonight. Put aside your work for a while and have dinner together."
Yu Anna looked at Shen Tingxi expectantly.
Shen Tingxi looked at Ju Qiulan, who was winking at him. Although he knew that Ning Ning didn't have him in her heart, he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard Ju Qiulan say that she wouldn't let him be with Mu Ning Jing for the rest of his life. It was one thing for him to break up with her, but it was another thing for someone to force him to break up with her.
Shen Tingxi lowered his head and took a sip of water. Then he walked toward the dining room.
Yu Anna's heart started to beat wildly. Although Shen Tingxi didn't look at her, she was still very happy to be able to eat with him.
"Nana, come and sit down." Ju Qiulan smiled and waved at Yu Anna.
Yu Anna's gaze fell on the man's tall figure walking toward the dining room. She couldn't help but smile slightly. "Sorry to bother you, Aunt Ju," she said and walked toward the dining room.
"Don't mention it. I'm very happy that you can stay." Ju Qiulan then turned to the kitchen and ordered the housekeeper, "Serve the dishes and let's eat."
At the dining table, Yu Anna stole glances at Shen Tingxi from time to time. He didn't eat very gently, and his manners weren't elegant either. His every movement was cold and fierce, and he exuded a masculine aura.
It was this feeling of overflowing male hormones that drove Yu Anna crazy.
Yu Anna didn't eat much during the meal. She was only focused on stealing glances at Shen Tingxi. She had only eaten a little when Shen Tingxi put down his chopsticks and went upstairs.
Ju Qiulan ate quietly with her head lowered. She didn't know what to think until Shen Tingxi stood up and the chair scraped against the floor. She finally looked up. "Xi 'er, are you full?"
Shen Tingxi replied with an "Mm" and didn't stop walking upstairs.
"I'll make you a cup of hot tea later," Ju Qiulan said to Shen Tingxi's back.
Shen Tingxi didn't say anything and went upstairs.
Yu Anna's gaze followed Shen Tingxi until his figure disappeared at the top of the stairs. She reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
"Can't bear to?" Ju Qiulan teased with a smile.
Yu Anna instantly blushed. She looked down at the rice in her bowl and said, "No."
Ju Qiulan didn't expose her. She smiled and asked the housekeeper to open a bottle of red wine. "Come, have a drink with me."
Yu Anna couldn't refuse so she took the wine glass from Ju Qiulan.
The two chatted and drank. Before they knew it, they had finished the bottle of red wine.
"It's late and you drank. Why don't you rest here tonight?" Ju Qiulan suggested.
Yu Anna had a good tolerance for alcohol. She had no problem drinking so little wine, but she couldn't drive. Although her mind was clear, she still felt a little dizzy. Moreover, the investigation for drunk driving was too strict. She didn't want to go to the police station. But to sleep here … She wanted to, but she didn't dare to. Shen Tingxi would be angry. "No. Aunt Ju, please arrange for the chauffeur to send me back."
Ju Qiulan leaned toward Yu Anna and whispered, "Don't you want to be with Xi 'er?"
Yu Anna looked at Ju Qiulan in confusion. "Aunt Ju …"
"Stay. I'll help you."
Yu Anna's eyes were filled with excitement and fear. "Tingxi, he …"
"Ever since Xi 'er got together with Mu Ning Jing, he hasn't touched another woman. A normal man hasn't touched a woman for almost a year. As long as you take the initiative, you'll definitely succeed."
Yu Anna looked at Ju Qiulan in disbelief. "Aunt Ju, are you saying that Tingxi hasn't gotten together with Mu Ning Jing?"
