Mu Ning Jing reacted and hurriedly said to the phone, "I … I'm Mu Ning Jing …"
Shuxin was speechless. Did she need to say that? Could it be that Shen Tingxi didn't have a caller ID?
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Yes, I know."
Mu Ning Jing asked, "When are you coming back?"
"I'm not sure."
"It's your birthday tomorrow … Come back and we'll celebrate it together, okay?"
"… Okay."
Shuxin leaned against Mu Ning Jing and listened. She could tell that Shen Tingxi was smiling when he said "okay". He was so easy to coax, much easier to coax than a banquet invitation.
After Mu Ning Jing hung up the phone, Shuxin clenched her fist and made a cheering gesture. "Come on, you can do it."
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
After hanging up the phone with Shen Tingxi, Mu Ning Jing was in a state of anxiety. There was only one thing in her mind: She wanted to propose to Shen Tingxi.
After dinner, Mu Ning Jing had been looking for information related to a woman's proposal on the Internet. She had no experience and didn't know how to do it, so she could only learn from the Internet.
She watched a lot of videos and information. There were all kinds of proposals, but Mu Ning Jing felt that none of them were suitable for her. She really didn't dare to boldly express her love. When she was nervous, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to speak, let alone propose. Just thinking about those scenes made Mu Ning Jing blush and her heart beat faster. She was so nervous that her hands were trembling.
Mu Ning Jing searched for a long time. Finally, she found a method that made her feel tempted. She closed the computer and went to the drawer to take out her ID and household register. She put them on the bedside table, then took a shower and lay on the bed.
Because she was too excited and nervous, Mu Ning Jing almost didn't sleep the whole night. It was almost five in the morning when she couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep. Before she fell asleep, she was still thinking about when Shen Tingxi would come back today. It couldn't be at night, right? If that was the case, it would be difficult for her to complete the proposal.
Mu Ning Jing did not know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes, a familiar figure appeared in her drowsy vision. When she fully opened her eyes, the figure stood up and seemed to be about to leave.
Mu Ning Jing immediately sat up and grabbed his hand. "Tingxi, don't go."
Shen Tingxi paused, and an unnatural expression flashed across his face, as if he had been caught peeking. However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and turned to look at Mu Ning Jing with an indifferent expression. "Wash up. I bought breakfast. It should be cold now. I'll heat it up in the microwave."
Only then did Mu Ning Jing let go of his hand. She watched Shen Tingxi leave the room before she got up to wash up.
In the dining room, Mu Ning Jing observed Shen Tingxi from time to time. He ate his breakfast quietly without saying a word or looking at her. He was still angry.
Mu Ning Jing took the initiative to change the subject. "When did you come back?"
Shen Tingxi lowered his head to stir the porridge in his bowl. "An hour ago." Then he sat by the bed and looked at the person he had been thinking about day and night for an hour.
Mu Ning Jing nodded. After eating two mouthfuls of breakfast, she asked, "Did everything go smoothly?"
"It was okay."
"... Oh." Mu Ning Jing paused before she spoke again. "Are you going to the office later?"
"Yes."
"... What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you. "
"Anything."
He answered every question in a cold and distant tone.
Mu Ning Jing tightened her grip on the bowl. He did not want to talk to her, so she quietly lowered her head and ate her breakfast.
The only sound in the air was the occasional sound of the spoon hitting the bowl. The dining room was extremely quiet.
After eating for a while, Mu Ning Jing felt that their relationship could not remain so cold. She looked up at Shen Tingxi and took the initiative to speak again. "Tingxi, are you angry with me?"
Shen Tingxi looked up at Mu Ning Jing and quickly averted his gaze. "No."
Shouldn't he have answered yes? Mu Ning Jing did not know how to respond to his answer. The courage that she had worked so hard to muster was like a punctured balloon.
However, she did not lower her head. Instead, she pursed her lips and quietly watched Shen Tingxi eat his breakfast.
Shen Tingxi sensed that Mu Ning Jing was ignoring him. After eating in silence for a long time, he sighed slightly. If he did not speak again, he was afraid that Mu Ning Jing would not take the initiative to speak again. He put away his arrogance and looked up at Mu Ning Jing to ask, "Why would I be angry with you? Did you make me angry? "
Mu Ning Jing's clear eyes met Shen Tingxi's for two seconds. She lowered her head and looked like she had done something wrong. She said softly, "I was too close to Brother Qin and did not take your feelings into consideration. I'm sorry."
Shen Tingxi was a little surprised. His Ningning was enlightened? This was not enough. "Then what do you plan to do in the future?"
Mu Ning Jing hurriedly looked up at Shen Tingxi and explained in a sincere tone, "There is nothing between Brother Qin and me. In my heart, he is just like my brother..."
Shen Tingxi frowned when he heard this. "So you still plan to interact with him like before? Even if I am not happy, you won't change? "
"Tingxi, Brother Qin has helped me a lot. I can't..."
"I still have something to do at the company. I'll leave first." Shen Tingxi stood up, pulled out a chair, and walked towards the living room.
Mu Ning Jing hurriedly chased after him and hugged Shen Tingxi from behind. "Tingxi, listen to what I have to say before you leave, okay?"
Shen Tingxi stood in place and did not move. He resisted the urge to say the word "okay". In fact, he had no principles in front of Mu Ning Jing. He rushed back in the middle of the night because of her phone call. He wanted to say yes to any of her requests, but she had someone else in her heart. He could not tolerate this. He had to be ruthless and teach her a lesson.
Mu Ning Jing leaned her head against Shen Tingxi's broad back. Her soft voice sounded in the room. "There was once a boy named Han Xing who helped me fight against Lv Zhiwen and was killed by Lv Zhiwen. Do you know about this?"
Shen Tingxi had heard Huo Yanqing mention this before. That boy was Mu Ning Jing's high school boyfriend. He should be her first love. Why did she suddenly mention him? Did she think that he was not angry enough?
Shen Tingxi's face was cold and he did not say anything.
Mu Ning Jing was silent for a few seconds before she continued. "The long period of time when I was bullied by Lv Zhiwen was dark. Han Xing was like a ray of light that shone into my life. Brother Qin and Han Xing looked very similar, especially when they smiled. They were exactly the same. They were warm and made me feel at ease. So I felt a sense of familiarity with him."
Shen Tingxi's heart ached when he heard Mu Ning Jing talk about her dark past. His large hand covered his waist and he gently pinched her small hand. "But he is not Han Xing after all."
"I know." Mu Ning Jing nodded gently behind Shen Tingxi. "Don't you want to know where Brother Qin and I went when we disappeared for two days?"
Mu Ning Jing did not wait for Shen Tingxi to speak. She continued. "We went to H City."
This time, Mu Ning Jing fell silent.
H City?
Shen Tingxi thought for a few seconds and suddenly remembered that Lv Zhiwen was imprisoned in H City. He suddenly turned around and held Mu Ning Jing's shoulder. He looked at her with a tense expression. "Why did you go to H City?"
