Shen Tingxi's handsome face instantly darkened. There seemed to be flames burning in his dark eyes. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line and his jawline was tense. His hands on the table were clenched into fists and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly pulsating.
Mu Ning Jing's fair hand crossed the table and placed it on Shen Tingxi's strong hand. "Tingxi, I'm sorry …"
"It's not your fault." Shen Tingxi didn't want to infect Mu Ning Jing with his emotions. He wanted to restrain himself, but the anger in his heart was like a prairie fire. The fire was so big that it was difficult to control it. His words were obviously stained with a cold aura.
Mu Ning Jing held Shen Tingxi's hand tightly. "No, I was wrong too. I shouldn't have agreed to your mother's request. I should have followed my heart and been with you properly. I should have fought for it, not compromised. The result of compromising was to hurt you and hurt myself. Your mother didn't give us her blessings and instead sent Yu Anna to you. I'm angry at your mother, but I hate myself even more … Why couldn't I hold on to you tightly … Why did I have so many misgivings when I clearly love you so much and push you away again and again … I was wrong, I was really wrong … "
Towards the end, Mu Ning Jing was choking with sobs and tears were falling down her face.
Mu Ning Jing's words were like a basin of rain that extinguished Shen Tingxi's anger. Joy and excitement surfaced in his deep eyes. He held Mu Ning Jing's hand. "Ningning, you said that you love me?"
Mu Ning Jing's teary eyes were filled with shyness, but she didn't want to be a coward anymore. She wanted to face her own feelings. She wanted to hold on to this man in front of her. She pursed her lips and nodded.
Shen Tingxi's heart, which had been beating for 30 years, was beating so vigorously for the first time. He was so excited that it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He stood up and was so excited that he knocked over his chair. He quickly walked around the table and came to Mu Ning Jing's side. He knelt down on one knee and held her hand tightly. "Ningning, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Mu Ning Jing pulled Shen Tingxi up and hugged his narrow waist. She leaned her head on his muscular chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. She said softly, "It's not a dream. I'll never let go of you again."
Shen Tingxi hugged Mu Ning Jing so tightly that it was as if he wanted to embed her into his bones and blood. "If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up."
A sour and sweet taste spread in Mu Ning Jing's heart. Her bones hurt from being hugged by him, but she didn't make a sound. She obediently leaned in his arms and smelled the unique masculine scent on his body. She felt more at ease than she had ever felt before.
After a long while, Shen Tingxi finally let go of Mu Ning Jing. He didn't dare to kiss her lips, so he planted a kiss on her fair forehead. Then, he happily cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
After Shen Tingxi finished washing the dishes, he remembered that Yu Anna had come to look for Mu Ning Jing. He was worried, so he called the guard. The guard said that he did see Miss Mu talking to the woman he had blocked at the door for a while, but he didn't know what they were talking about. He also said that he would immediately check the surveillance footage and send it to Shen Tingxi's phone.
Shen Tingxi hung up the phone and walked out of the kitchen. He saw Mu Ning Jing sitting on the sofa and reading some documents. Her demure and serious look made his heart skip a beat. He walked over and took the documents from her hands.
Mu Ning Jing raised her head and looked at Shen Tingxi in confusion.
"Don't stay at home all the time. Let's go out for a walk after dinner." Shen Tingxi threw the documents on the coffee table and reached out his hand to Mu Ning Jing.
"Okay." Mu Ning Jing obediently put her small hand in his palm, got up and went out with Shen Tingxi.
The night was very good. The moon was bright and the light was bright.
The two walked hand in hand on the cobblestone path. This was a high-end villa community. The distance between the villas was a little far. Shen Tingxi said before that Huo Yanqing also had a house here. She and Shuxin were neighbors.
Mu Ning Jing subconsciously walked to Shuxin's house. In fact, since she moved here for a long time, Shuxin didn't come here except for one night on the day she moved.
Shuxin's belly was big. Yao Huiqin was worried about her, so he let her live in Tingzhu Villa.
"Ningning."
Mu Ning Jing turned to look at Shen Tingxi. The man's facial features were deep and covered with a layer of moonlight. He seemed to be much gentler than usual. "What's wrong?"
Shen Tingxi said casually, "Have you ever thought of looking for your father?"
Mu Ning Jing blinked twice, then lowered her eyes to look at the road. She said faintly, "When I was young, I thought about it. Especially when my mother and I were bullied, I really thought about it. I even imagined that he would suddenly appear in front of me like Superman and chase away those bad people who bullied my mother and me. But after a long time, my fantasy was shattered and I didn't think about it anymore."
Her voice was very soft and gentle. It made one's heart ache.
Shen Tingxi clenched the small hand in his palm a little more tightly. He turned to look at the girl who had a demure temperament and a sad expression under the moonlight. "No one will dare to bully you in the future. I will be your superman."
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Shen Tingxi and smiled. "Okay."
Shen Tingxi didn't continue this topic. In fact, Shen Tingxi just wanted to confirm his father's position in Mu Ning Jing's heart. If she really wanted to find her father, he couldn't deprive her of her right. But since it was a sad past, there was no need to acknowledge him.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. It was a message notification.
Shen Tingxi looked at his cell phone. It was a surveillance video sent by the security guard. He tapped on it with his slender fingers. The image was a little far and wasn't very clear. The voice was also a little blurry, but he could still hear it clearly.
Mu Ning Jing never interfered with Shen Tingxi's work. She didn't ask about it, so when he looked at his cell phone at the beginning, Mu Ning Jing didn't notice. But she was standing beside him and the voice still traveled to her ears.
The more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. Why did this voice sound so familiar?
And the content of the voice seemed to be familiar.
Mu Ning Jing subconsciously lightened her footsteps and listened carefully. Then, she couldn't stay calm. She tilted her head to look at the cell phone in Shen Tingxi's hand. When she saw the image, Mu Ning Jing was a little confused. "Why do you … have this?"
Shen Tingxi was almost done watching. He stopped and turned to look at Mu Ning Jing. His deep eyes were full of smiles. "You and I are in love with each other?"
Mu Ning Jing thought for a moment and then remembered that she seemed to have said that she and Shen Tingxi were in love with each other in order to diss Yu Anna. Yu Anna was the third party.
At this thought, Mu Ning Jing's face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. She stammered, "Not only did she scold me … she also scolded my mother … I … I said that in a moment of anger …"
The smile in Shen Tingxi's eyes slowly faded. His handsome brows furrowed. "So you mean that you and I are not in love with each other? This relationship has always been my wishful thinking? "
