When she got home, the house was cold and dark. No one was back.
Mu Ning Jing had never felt so lonely before. She squatted at the door, hugged her knees, and cried.
Dong Zai comforted her, but Mu Ning Jing did not react at all. He had no choice but to call the gang members to ask about Shen Tingxi's whereabouts, but they all said that they did not know.
In the end, Dong Zai thought of Huo Yanqing and quickly called him. "President Huo, do you know where our Young Master went … Thank you, President Huo. Sorry to disturb you."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Zai squatted beside Mu Ning Jing excitedly and said, "Miss Mu, Young Master went on a business trip."
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Dong Zai with her teary face. "Business trip?"
Dong Zai nodded. Afraid that Mu Ning Jing would not believe him, he explained, "I just called President Huo. President Huo said that he needed Young Master's help to investigate something, so he went overseas. He is still on the plane now, so his phone is switched off."
Dong Zai comforted Mu Ning Jing for a while before she stopped crying. He then ordered takeout for her before leaving.
…
After work that day, Shuxin asked Mu Ning Jing, "Tomorrow is Shen Tingxi's birthday. What birthday present are you preparing for him?"
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shuxin in confusion. In the two days that Shen Tingxi was gone, she had been thinking about how to admit her mistake and how to confess when he came back. She had forgotten about Shen Tingxi's birthday.
Shuxin looked at Mu Ning Jing's expression and frowned. "Don't tell me you forgot his birthday?"
Mu Ning Jing was an honest child. She did not know how to lie at all. She nodded.
"You …" Shuxin gently poked Mu Ning Jing's head. "You can even forget your boyfriend's birthday. No wonder Shen Tingxi feels insecure. You really make people anxious."
Mu Ning Jing lowered her head and pursed her lips. She did not tell Shuxin that Shen Tingxi was angry because she did not want her to worry. However, she remembered that Shuxin said that they were family and that she should not keep it to herself. She thought about it and told her about it. "… I've been thinking about this for the past few days, so I forgot about his birthday. I still remember it was a while ago."
Shuxin remembered that she was very good to Qi Donglin and was very angry with Huo Yanqing. Qi Donglin had helped her a lot in her previous life, so she was very close to Qi Donglin. However, in this life, she did not know Qi Donglin before. This was a special feeling for Huo Yanqing. It was a kind of intimacy without any reason. Naturally, he would be angry and jealous.
Later, she remembered to tell Huo Yanqing about her rebirth. Only then did this matter pass.
Mu Ning Jing's situation now was very similar to hers.
Mu Ning Jing trusted Qin Xiaoyi inexplicably because Qin Xiaoyi looked like her first love who had lost her life for her. In addition, when she went to H City to visit Lv Zhiwen, Qin Xiaoyi was always by her side. It could be said that Qin Xiaoyi helped Mu Ning Jing completely out of the fog and gave her a new life.
For such a person, Mu Ning Jing treated him as a family member and respected him as a big brother. It was very normal.
However, Shen Tingxi did not know the reason. From his perspective, Mu Ning Jing's trust and intimacy with Qin Xiaoyi were too special. Even if it was not a romantic relationship, he could not bear that in the heart of the woman he loved, there was another man other than him who was also special.
This was love. It was selfish and possessive.
Shuxin said to Mu Ning Jing with a serious expression, "I think you should tell Shen Tingxi about going to visit Lv Zhiwen in prison. Also, you should tell him that Doctor Qin looks like a Korean star. Otherwise, I think Shen Tingxi will not be able to get over this hurdle in his heart. "
Mu Ning Jing nodded. "But I'm afraid that he won't forgive me."
Shuxin thought about how every time she asked Mu Ning Jing to coax Shen Tingxi in the past, it would either backfire or she would not say anything at all. Therefore, when she said that she would explain, Shuxin was actually still worried. She had to think of a way that even if Mu Ning Jing did not say anything, Shen Tingxi would know that she only had him in her heart. Only then would it be safe.
However, what method would have such an effect?
Shuxin lowered her eyes and pondered. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She pulled Mu Ning Jing's hand and said, "Why don't you take advantage of Shen Tingxi's birthday to propose to him?"
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shuxin with her mouth slightly open. Then, she shook her head like a rattle drum. She had heard of men proposing to women, but when had a woman proposed to a man?
"You don't like Shen Tingxi?" Shuxin asked.
Mu Ning Jing nodded. "I like him."
"Then you don't want to marry him?"
Mu Ning Jing still nodded. "Yes."
"Then it's settled." Shuxin smiled and patted Mu Ning Jing's shoulder. She began to persuade her. "Explain to him first, then propose to him. Shen Tingxi won't think too much about Qin Xiaoyi. You're going to marry him. What else can he think, right?"
Mu Ning Jing blinked and nodded. Then, she shook her head. "I … I don't dare."
"Why not? He won't eat you. He'll only be happy. " Shuxin continued to persuade her. "You rejected Shen Tingxi's three marriage proposals. Although it's pardonable, it's a fact that you made him sad. Don't you think you should make it up to him?"
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and didn't say anything. When she first heard this suggestion, she felt that it was unbelievable. But after hearing what Shuxin said, she felt that she should do it. But to actually do it … Did she dare?
"Ningning, you have to be brave. Shen Tingxi has always been chasing after you. You should be bolder and respond to him. You don't know how many women are eyeing him covetously. If you don't do something, he'll be snatched away by others."
Shuxin's words reminded Mu Ning Jing of Yu Anna. Yes, other women tried to get close to Shen Tingxi, but she kept pushing him away. Now that she had walked out of the past, she should take the initiative to get close to him. She couldn't let others take advantage of her. She had to firmly control her own happiness.
Mu Ning Jing nodded. "Okay, but … he's on a business trip. I don't know if he'll be back tomorrow."
"You haven't called him these past two days?" Shuxin asked with a frown.
Mu Ning Jing said, "No, I'm afraid that he won't pick up my calls like before."
"…" Shuxin held her forehead. What kind of EQ was this? "Hurry up and call him and ask when he'll be back. Tell him that you want to celebrate his birthday tomorrow. Don't explain Qin Xiaoyi over the phone. It's hard to explain in a few words. Wait for him to come back."
Mu Ning Jing nodded and took out her phone. When she was about to make the call, she looked at Shuxin. "What if he doesn't pick up my call?"
"He didn't pick up your call that day because he was angry. This time, he'll definitely pick up. Maybe he's waiting for your call. Hurry up and call him," Shuxin urged.
Mu Ning Jing dialed the number nervously. The other side picked up very quickly. Mu Ning Jing looked at Shuxin with a faint smile.
Shuxin gave Mu Ning Jing a look that said, "See, I told you he would pick up." Seeing that Mu Ning Jing was still looking at her with a silly smile, she gently nudged her arm and said, "Pick up the phone."
