After leaving Ju Qiulan's place, Shen Tingxi put his suitcase back in Qin Garden and went to pick up Mu Ning Jing. It was still early when he arrived at the company. Shuxin's company was located in the Huo Group, so Shen Tingxi decided to visit Huo Yanqing since it was still early.
Shen Tingxi leaned lazily against the sofa with his long legs crossed casually. His secretary had brought him a cup of coffee and he took a sip while it was still hot. He looked up at Huo Yanqing, who was buried in his documents. "It's rare for me to come here. Can't you put aside your work and keep me company?"
"No." Huo Yanqing replied without looking up. "I have to finish my work in the day so that I can go home and keep Xin 'er company at night."
Shen Tingxi was speechless. He had just been fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason.
Huo Yanqing suddenly thought of something and looked up from his documents. "It's your 30th birthday in a few days. How do you plan to celebrate it?"
Shen Tingxi was instantly comforted. His brother still missed him. Shen Tingxi actually wanted to spend the rest of his life with Mu Ning Jing, but he was afraid that if the atmosphere was too good, he would not be able to control himself and do something to Mu Ning Jing. He had already hurt her twice, so he definitely could not do anything to offend her.
Shen Tingxi thought about it and said, "Let's do it as usual."
"Sure. I'll ask Chifeng and Song Li out. We can sit at the same table."
Shen Tingxi nodded and told Huo Yanqing about the investigation into He Jingxing. When it was about time, he stood up and left.
When he arrived at the Huaxia Construction Company, the receptionist informed him that Mu Ning Jing had just left. Shen Tingxi went to the entrance of the Huo Group and saw Mu Ning Jing get into a white car from afar. He frowned. Who was here to pick Ning up?
Could it be Mu Yiqing's men?
Shen Tingxi strode to his car and dialed Mu Ning Jing's number. "Ningning, I'm here to pick you up from work."
Mu Ning Jing's soft voice came through the electric current. "No need. Brother Qin is here. I'll treat him to dinner outside tonight."
"Qin Xiaoyi?"
"Yes. Are you eating at the company or at home?"
"Let's go home." Her voice was tinged with a hint of jealousy.
"Then I'll cook for you when I get home later."
"… Okay." Shen Tingxi got into his car, stepped on the accelerator, and chased after the white car.
In Qin Xiaoyi's car, Mu Ning Jing hung up the phone. Qin Xiaoyi, who was driving, asked her, "Your boyfriend?"
"En." Mu Ningjing nodded and sat quietly and obediently in the passenger seat.
"Why don't we ask him to come over and eat with us?"
"It's okay." Mu Ning Jing refused. She and Qin Xiaoyi were talking about her illness. This was her bad side, and she didn't want him to be there.
Before long, the car stopped in front of a small restaurant. Mu Ning Jing turned to look at Qin Xiaoyi. "It's not as luxurious as a big restaurant, but the environment is quiet and the food is not bad. I wonder if Brother Qin likes it?"
Qin Xiaoyi smiled gently. "I'll listen to you. I'm not picky."
Mu Ning Jing had already said that she wanted to treat Qin Xiaoyi to a meal to thank him for taking care of her like a sister. She wanted to thank him for opening her heart. One meal wasn't enough to express her gratitude, but she really couldn't think of any other way.
Shen Tingxi parked the car in an empty space in front of the small restaurant. He felt that stalking wasn't the style of a good man, so he planned to get out of the car and eat with Mu Ning Jing and Qin Xiaoyi openly. However, just as he was about to open the car door and get out of the car, he accidentally saw Qin Xiaoyi and Mu Ning Jing sitting by the window of the restaurant.
At this moment, Mu Ning Jing said something, and Qin Xiaoyi smiled. His large hand reached across the small rectangular wooden table and touched Mu Ning Jing's head.
Why were they acting so intimately?!
Shen Tingxi was unhappy. He was already jealous, and his gaze fell from Qin Xiaoyi's hand to Mu Ning Jing's face. She was quiet, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. She wasn't repulsed at all?
Why?
Ningning was clearly repulsed by strange men. Why was Qin Xiaoyi an exception?
Shen Tingxi recalled how Mu Ning Jing left with Qin Xiaoyi without a word a few days ago. The jealousy in his heart overflowed. He pushed open the car door and got out of the car. His eyes were cold, and his body was full of hostility. He looked like he was going to kill someone.
However, after one foot stepped on the ground, Shen Tingxi paused in his action of getting out of the car. No, if he continued like this, what if he couldn't help but hit Qin Xiaoyi?
That would scare Ningning.
After pausing for two seconds, Shen Tingxi retracted his foot and leaned against the seat. He planned to wait until the messy emotions in his heart calmed down before getting out of the car. He lit a cigarette out of habit. As he smoked, he looked through the car window at the two people who had already started eating.
The more he looked, the more jealous he felt.
Ningning was smiling so beautifully at Qin Xiaoyi.
She was even chatting with Qin Xiaoyi while eating.
Ningning didn't talk when they were eating. He was basically the one talking, and she would only agree occasionally.
With this comparison, Shen Tingxi was very unhappy. Why?
He was Ningning's boyfriend, and Qin Xiaoyi was only Ningning's former attending doctor.
Shen Tingxi was unhappy. Very unhappy!
He smoked a little too hard.
In the blink of an eye, he finished one cigarette and lit another.
The car was filled with smoke, and the smell of nicotine was everywhere.
Shen Tingxi didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked, but the two people in the restaurant had just finished their meal. Mu Ningjing took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Qin Xiaoyi, who was sitting opposite her.
Qin Xiaoyi took it and smiled. She probably said thank you, and then wiped her mouth.
Shen Tingxi took a deep puff of the cigarette at the corner of his mouth. Ningning didn't give him a tissue to wipe his mouth. Not even once, because he was the one who handed it to her.
This treatment … was incomparable.
Seeing that the two of them stood up and were about to come out, Shen Tingxi realized that he had been secretly watching them for so long. Feeling guilty, he hurriedly backed out of the parking space, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.
Shen Tingxi went home, poured a glass of cold water, and drank it in a few gulps. He drank it too quickly, and some water flowed down his sexy neck and into the collar of his ash-gray shirt.
When the cold water entered his stomach, the burning fire in his heart subsided a little.
Shen Tingxi sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.
Five minutes later, he got up and walked to the window in the living room. He looked outside through the glass, but he didn't see Mu Ning Jing.
He drove too fast. Qin Xiaoyi's driving skills were definitely not as good as his, so it was normal for her to be late.
Shen Tingxi sat back down on the sofa. He couldn't focus on the TV, so he picked up his phone and looked at it.
Ten minutes later, Shen Tingxi walked to the window again, but he still didn't see Mu Ning Jing.
Qin Xiaoyi's driving skills were terrible, so it was understandable that she was ten minutes late.
Shen Tingxi sat back down on the sofa. This time, he couldn't look at his phone anymore. He started to smoke and looked at his watch as he smoked. He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked, but the cigarette box was empty. Shen Tingxi squeezed the cigarette box hard and threw it into the trash can three meters away.
