Shen Tingxi looked deeply at Mu Ning Jing. If he told her that he was unhappy after seeing her and Qin Xiaoyi interact so freely, it would definitely expose the fact that he was following her.
Would Ning Ning be angry?
After a moment of silence, Shen Tingxi found an excuse. "No, there are too many things to do in the company. I'm upset." After saying that, he habitually reached for a cigarette in his pocket. When he reached in, it was empty. Only then did he remember that he had finished smoking and threw away the cigarette box.
Mu Ning Jing had seen Shen Tingxi do this many times. She knew that he was reaching for a cigarette. However, when she saw that his hand was empty, she couldn't help but ask, "You don't have any more cigarettes?"
Shen Tingxi replied, "Mm."
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi's hand for two seconds. She suppressed her chaotic heartbeat and took the initiative to hold his hand. "I'll go with you to the supermarket in the neighborhood to buy some."
Shen Tingxi looked at the fair, slender hand holding his and felt that he was instantly healed. He held her hand and said, "Forget it. I won't smoke tonight."
"Let's go. Aren't you upset? Let's take a walk while we're at it. "
Shen Tingxi and Mu Ning Jing looked at each other for two seconds. When he saw the faint worry in her quiet eyes, his heart felt warm. He got up and went out with her.
This was the first time that Mu Ning Jing took the initiative to take him out for a walk.
When the two of them arrived at the neighborhood, Mu Ning Jing was still habitually silent. However, she didn't let go of Shen Tingxi's hand. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at him, silently conveying her concern.
The corners of Shen Tingxi's lips curled up slightly. The unhappiness in his heart had long disappeared. He realized that Mu Ningjing seemed to have magical powers. Even though she didn't say anything, just quietly accompanying him like this, he felt his entire body relax. It was as if her body was emitting some kind of secret aura that could open up his conception and governing vessels.
The two of them took a walk for a while. Mu Ning Jing held Shen Tingxi's hand and went to the supermarket.
This was a high-end villa neighborhood. The supermarket had a wide range of products, but there were very few people. Unlike the supermarkets outside, which were noisy and noisy, this place was quieter. Generally, those rich people wouldn't come if they didn't need to. They definitely wouldn't spend their time in the supermarket.
Mu Ning Jing liked quiet and liked this environment very much.
Tonight, Shen Tingxi had been taking the initiative to persuade Mu Ning Jing. He purposely walked a beat slower than her. was led by her, he could go anywhere as long as she could lead him.
He had always been the one leading others, but he suddenly realized that it felt especially good to be led by her.
Mu Ningjing led Shen Tingxi to the tobacco and alcohol counter. She looked around the counter and saw the brand of cigarettes that Shen Tingxi often smoked. She pointed at the box of cigarettes through the glass counter and looked at the waiter behind the counter. Her red lips moved slightly. "Please give me a box of these cigarettes."
"Okay." The staff was a woman in her forties. She wore exquisite light makeup and had a polite smile on her face. She was more amiable than the staff outside the supermarket.
When the staff took the box of cigarettes, Mu Ning Jing turned to ask Shen Tingxi, "Do you want one? It's more convenient to leave it at home. "
Shen Tingxi shook his head, "No need. You can accompany me to buy more after I finish smoking."
Mu Ning Jing smiled slightly, "Okay."
The staff passed the box of cigarettes to Mu Ning Jing. Shen Tingxi took out his phone and was about to scan the QR code to pay when Mu Ning Jing stopped him, "Let me."
Shen Tingxi frowned slightly, "No need. How can a man use a woman's money?"
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi's clear eyes and demure temperament. She said softly, "I want to buy some for you to smoke."
"Sir, I don't think it's a matter of money. Your wife probably remembered that she was the one who bought the cigarettes when she was thinking of you smoking. Naturally, she thought of her." The staff smiled and interjected appropriately.
Shen Tingxi was stunned by the way she addressed his wife. He was stunned for a moment before looking at Mu Ning Jing.
Mu Ning Jing had already lowered her head with a red face.
In the end, Mu Ning Jing paid for it.
Shen Tingxi was pleased by the staff's words.
When the two of them walked to the villa, although their hands were still holding, the atmosphere was more ambiguous than before. Mu Ning Jing kept her head down and the blush on her cheeks did not fade.
"Is what she said right?" Shen Tingxi suddenly asked.
Mu Ning Jing knew that Shen Tingxi was asking if what the staff said was right, but she was shy, so she pretended not to know. "What?"
Shen Tingxi's gaze fell on the petite woman beside him. He lowered his head and looked at the ground. Her black hair fell naturally, revealing her snow-white neck. He knew that she was shy.
But he did not intend to let her go. "You bought the cigarettes for me because you want me to think of you when I smoke?"
Mu Ning Jing felt that her forehead and palms were sweating. She gently pulled her hand back.
Shen Tingxi did not let go, "Don't run away."
Mu Ning Jing's hand froze. Was she subconsciously running away again?
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and gently exhaled. She raised her head and looked at Shen Tingxi with her watery eyes. "Yes, I hope that you will think of me more every day."
Shen Tingxi's deep eyes were smiling. The corners of his lips lifted into a charming arc and tenderness overflowed from his sharp eyes. Mu Ning Jing had always been passive when it came to relationships between men and women. She almost never revealed her feelings in front of him, let alone speak sweet words.
When she suddenly said this, Shen Tingxi felt that a ton of honey had fallen from the sky. It was so sweet that he fainted.
In a moment of excitement, he pulled her hand into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Yes, I miss you all the time."
Mu Ning Jing's dimples appeared at the corner of her lips. She quietly leaned into Shen Tingxi's arms and did not move.
Under the night sky, the two of them hugged each other tightly. It was ambiguous and warm.
…
The next day
Because of Shen Tingxi's words yesterday, Ju Qiulan did not sleep the entire night. Her face was pale and she was listless. She did not eat much in the morning and was tired. She wanted to go to bed and lie down again. When she walked towards the stairs, the villa's doorbell rang.
The housekeeper hurried over to open the door. When she saw an unfamiliar face at the door, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Ju Qiulan."
"You are?"
Ju Qiulan walked towards the door. "Who is it?"
The housekeeper turned back to look at Ju Qiulan. "I don't know her. She said that she's looking for you."
"I'm Yu Meiqi," the person at the door said.
Ju Qiulan hurriedly asked the housekeeper to welcome her in. She and Yu Meiqi had met a few times at banquets, but they did not have a close relationship.
Yu Meiqi was wearing a ginger cheongsam with a black knitted sweater. She exuded the elegance and nobility of an official's wife, but her expression was ugly.
Ju Qiulan led Yu Meiqi to the sofa and asked the housekeeper to make tea. She then asked, "Mrs. Mu, what's the matter?"
Yu Meiqi's face was cold and her tone was unpleasant. "I'm here to talk to you about your son and my daughter."
So it was about this!
When she saw that it was Yu Meiqi, Ju Qiulan knew that she must have come to talk about Yu Anna. However, Shen Tingxi's attitude yesterday was so unyielding that Ju Qiulan did not dare to make a decision for him. She could only ask tentatively, "Mrs. Mu, what are your plans?"
