Mu Ning Jing hurriedly raised her head and shook it like a rattle drum. "I … I didn't mean that …"
Shen Tingxi saw Mu Ning Jing's anxious expression, and his heart was instantly happy. She had always been calm and quiet, and it was rare for her to be so emotional. Between the two of them, he had always taken the initiative, she was passive, he was excited, and she was calm.
It was rare to see her like this. Shen Tingxi found that he especially liked to see her anxious look, especially when she was anxious about him. He tried hard to hold the corners of his mouth, pretending to be very sad and asked her, "Then what do you mean?"
"I … I …" Mu Ning Jing looked helpless. She repeated "I" a few times, but couldn't say a complete sentence.
People were greedy. After hearing pleasing words, they wanted to hear them again.
Shen Tingxi was like this now. When he heard Mu Ning Jing say that she loved him unconsciously during dinner, he wanted to hear it again, so he mischievously led the topic to that. "So you don't love me at all, sigh …"
"No, I love you." Mu Ning Jing, a pure little white rabbit, was no match for Shen Tingxi, an experienced person. She didn't know that he was setting a trap for her and hurriedly went into the trap.
Shen Tingxi couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore. His deep eyes were as bright as obsidian. He stopped teasing her and took the pure little white rabbit in front of him into his arms. He said affectionately, "Ningning, I love you too. I love you so much that I want to give my life to you. I love you so much that I don't know how to keep you, so I hurt you again and again."
Mu Ning Jing's nose was sour, and her eyes were hot. She raised her head from Shen Tingxi's arms. Under the night sky, the man's face was fierce and gentle. "It's my fault. I don't blame you. I will work hard to change. You have to wait for me."
"Okay, I will always be with you." Shen Tingxi's warm fingertips wiped the tears from Mu Ning Jing's eyes.
Mu Ning Jing's hand on Shen Tingxi's waist slightly clenched his shirt. She stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips. Mu Ning Jing, who had no experience in this area, didn't even know how to kiss. In the past, Shen Tingxi had taken the initiative to kiss her. Now, when she touched his lips, she didn't know what to do. She just stamped on it. Her small hands nervously clenched the high-quality fabric in her palms into a ball.
Shen Tingxi's deep eyes shot out a touch of surprise. The next second, he held the back of Mu Ningjing's head and slowly began to respond to her kiss. He didn't dare to be too presumptuous and only tasted her lightly.
Suddenly, a ringtone interrupted the sweet atmosphere between the two of them.
Not far away, Shuxin, who had a big belly and wanted to walk back after seeing this warm scene, looked at Huo Yanqing with annoyance. "Why are you calling at this time?"
Huo Yanqing hugged his little wife and looked helpless. "I didn't want to."
Mu Ning Jing heard the ringtone and hurriedly pushed Shen Tingxi away. She turned her head and saw Shuxin and Huo Yanqing not far away. Huo Yanqing was holding the phone and talking on the phone. His tall figure stood upright and steady under the moonlight.
Shuxin waved at her awkwardly. "Hey, you guys are out for a walk too?"
Mu Ning Jing's little face turned red. She was so embarrassed that she was at a loss. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shuxin.
Shen Tingxi instantly turned on his "pet mode". He reached out his long arm and pulled Mu Ning Jing into his arms. He pressed her head against his chest. "Ningning, don't be afraid. Let's go home."
Then he gave Shuxin a look that said, "Sister-in-law, you're such a disappointment", and left with his beloved girlfriend in his arms.
"…" Shuxin's hand froze in the air. After a while, she came back to her senses and turned to Huo Yanqing, who had just hung up the phone. "Yanqing, look at Shen Tingxi. Why is he like this? I'm worried about Ningning. I'm worried that she and Shen Tingxi can't get along well, so I persuaded Mom to sleep here tonight. I just want to help them, but he's acting like this. What's the meaning of this? "
Huo Yanqing smiled faintly. He touched his little wife's head and said in a doting tone, "Aren't you happy that they're doing well?"
"I'm happy, but his attitude …"
"Or are you actually envious of them?"
Shuxin's eyes flickered and she looked away. She would never admit that she was envious of Shen Tingxi and Mu Ning Jing, who were passionately in love. It made her heart race. "No."
Huo Yanqing cupped his little wife's delicate face and used the tip of his nose to graze the tip of her nose. "Do you want to kiss me?"
"No." How could she be so superficial? What she was after was spiritual, okay? But why did this man kiss her without distinguishing right from wrong?
…
Dong Zai pushed open the office door and walked to the desk. "Young Master, I've packed everything, but when I was about to leave, Madam came back. She stopped me and didn't let me take the things away."
Shen Tingxi instructed Dong Zai to go to Ju Qiulan's place to pack all his things and send them to Qin Garden.
Shen Tingxi signed the document in his hand, closed it and threw it aside. He picked up another document and said, "Got it."
Dong Zai said, "Also, Elder Yu called just now and asked if you're free tonight. He wants to have dinner with you. What do you think?"
Shen Tingxi paused in his flipping through the documents and frowned slightly. "I'm not free tonight."
Dong Zai was a little confused and kindly reminded him, "Young Master, you don't have any social engagements tonight."
Shen Tingxi glanced over coldly. "I have to have dinner with Ningning."
Dong Zai was speechless. His girlfriend was the most important. "Then how should I reply?"
Shen Tingxi pondered for a moment and said, "Just say that I'll meet him at the Yu family's ancestral home in two hours."
Dong Zai heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Shen Tingxi wouldn't give face to Elder Yu because of Yu Anna. No matter what, Elder Yu was an experienced official and shouldn't be offended. "Okay, I'll call him back now."
Two hours later, at the Yu family's ancestral home.
In the low-key but extravagant living room, Yu Wenbai and Shen Tingxi sat opposite each other. The housekeeper stood by the coffee table and made tea for the two of them. After making tea, she left.
Yu Wenbai's gaze pointed at the steaming hot tea in front of Shen Tingxi. "This year's new tea. Try it."
Shen Tingxi nodded and picked up the teacup. He used the lid of the teacup to sweep the tea leaves floating in the blanket. He sniffed the tea but wasn't in a hurry to drink it. He looked up at the hale and hearty old man opposite him. "Elder Yu didn't look for me to drink tea, right?"
Yu Wenbai smiled and took a sip of the hot tea. "Young people nowadays are so direct. Since you're straightforward, I won't beat around the bush."
Yu Wenbai put down the teacup and looked at Shen Tingxi with shrewdness and slyness. "You're already together with Nana?"
So it was about this!
The corners of Shen Tingxi's mouth curled into a shallow arc, as expected. "She said that?"
"Didn't she?" Yu Wenbai's slightly pale brows furrowed.
Shen Tingxi seemed to think very seriously for a few seconds. "I don't know. I was drugged at the time and was unconscious. When I woke up, your granddaughter was clinging onto me. Elder Yu, don't worry. I'm a mature man. I won't let your granddaughter take responsibility for this kind of thing."
