There was a moment of silence. "I'll come back to accompany you."
"No need." Mu Ning Jing knew how dangerous Shen Tingxi's situation was. She also knew how important Shen Jiuyan was.
"Ningning …"
"There's really no need. I miss Mom, not you." Mu Ning Jing blurted out in order to convince Shen Tingxi.
"…"
There was a long silence. Mu Ning Jing realized that her words might have been … a little hurtful. She bit her lip and explained softly, "I'm just worried about Uncle Shen's health and your safety."
"… Okay." After another two seconds, he asked, "Do you miss me?"
Mu Ning Jing blushed instantly. She didn't know what to say. If she said yes, she was afraid that he would leave the hospital and come over. If she said no, he would be unhappy. After a few seconds of silence, Mu Ning Jing asked softly, "Why don't you arrange for me to visit you at the hospital?"
The tone on the other end instantly became lighter. "Do you still want to wear a dress?"
Mu Ning Jing blushed even more. She knew that he was teasing her, but she still took the initiative to jump into the trap. She wanted to pamper him more. "I'll wear it if you like it."
Mu Ning Jing heard the breathing on the other end of the phone become heavier. She could vaguely hear the sound of his throat. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Her charming dimples appeared on her face.
The other end didn't say anything. Mu Ning Jing didn't make a sound either. She sat down on the bed with the phone in her hand and bent her legs. She held the phone in one hand and hugged her knees with the other. She rested her chin on her knees and quietly felt Shen Tingxi's breath through the electric current.
After a while, Shen Tingxi adjusted his breathing and said, "Ningning, when the old man wakes up, will you marry me?"
"Okay." Mu Ning Jing answered without hesitation.
Shen Tingxi sighed. "This is the fourth time I've proposed to you, but it's the first time you've said yes."
Mu Ning Jing recalled the past and felt a little guilty. She was about to say sorry, but before she could open her mouth, Shen Tingxi spoke again, "If you feel that you owe me, then love me well in the future."
"Mm." Mu Ningjing gently tucked a strand of hair that had fallen from her temples behind Hong Hong's ear.
"…" The shy Ningning was gone. Now, she was so easy to talk to. Shen Tingxi was a little overwhelmed, but he loved this side of her. He wanted to hear more nice words from her, so he asked, "Ningning, do you love me?"
"Yes."
"I want you to say it. Say those words."
Mu Ning Jing tightened her grip on her phone. After a while, she finally opened her mouth, but she didn't say those three words. Instead, she asked, "Tingxi, do you like kids?"
"Huh?" The topic changed so quickly that Shen Tingxi couldn't react in time.
"Do you like kids?" Mu Ning Jing asked again.
Shen Tingxi realized that Mu Ning Jing was deliberately changing the topic, so he was a little unhappy. "Answer my question first, then I'll answer yours."
Mu Ning Jing thought about Shuxin's words. Shui Xin said that if you loved someone, you wanted to give birth to that person's child. Mu Ning Jing blushed. She held the phone and buried her face in her knees. Her voice was soft and gentle. "I want to give birth to your child."
Shen Tingxi's breathing visibly paused. Then, his breathing became heavy again. When his Ningning said those words of love … it was simply killing him.
This was probably what they meant by, one could amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
"I don't like kids, but I'll like your child."
Mu Ning Jing softly said, "Mm." She wanted to end the call because she felt that if they continued talking, her face would probably burn. "It's late. You should rest early."
"Okay, goodnight."
…
One week later.
Shen Jiuyan was completely awake. The doctor said that he was recovering well. Although he had been in a semi-coma for nearly ten days, his body had really recovered and he had woken up early. A person's body could function normally, so recovery was slow. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Shen Tingxi told Shen Jiuyan about the situation in the gang during this period. He didn't intend to tell Shen Jiuyan so early. After all, he had just woken up and needed rest. It wasn't good for him to work or get angry. However, those old foxes in the gang came to the hospital every day. Shen Jiuyan would find out sooner or later.
Shen Jiuyan's face darkened and he wanted to be discharged. Out of habit, Ju Qiulan said firmly, "No, you can't be discharged now."
Shen Jiuyan replied coldly, "I can't do it just because you say so. Why should I listen to you?"
If it was in the past, Ju Qiulan would definitely say angrily, "I'm doing this for your own good. Don't be ungrateful." Then, the two would definitely quarrel and part on bad terms.
But this time, Ju Qiulan didn't raise her voice or change her expression. Instead, she said gently, "You've just woken up and your body hasn't recovered yet. The doctor said that you need to rest quietly. If you have anything to do, ask Xi 'er to do it. Don't take your body lightly."
Shen Jiuyan's mouth was slightly open. He stared at Ju Qiulan without blinking. He was obviously shocked by her change.
Ju Qiulan lowered her head in embarrassment. She looked a little embarrassed.
This time, Shen Jiuyan was seriously ill. Ju Qiulan was really frightened. She almost never left the bedside and took care of him tirelessly.
In the past, Shen Jiuyan was like a mountain that could never be crushed in Ju Qiulan's heart. Although his body hadn't been well in recent years, he was a strong person and never showed it.
Because of Hu Xin 'er, they didn't have a good relationship. Therefore, Ju Qiulan didn't know that Shen Jiuyan's health had deteriorated to such an extent.
Now that this mountain had suddenly collapsed and almost couldn't stand up again, Ju Qiulan panicked. She was afraid and regretful.
During the time that Shen Jiuyan was semi-conscious, Ju Qiulan had been thinking about everything that had happened between her and Shen Tingxi. She also thought about what she had done over the years, especially what Shen Tingxi had said to her when they quarreled. At that time, she felt that Shen Tingxi's words were very rebellious. Ju Qiulan reflected deeply on herself. Although Shen Tingxi's words were unpleasant, they weren't without reason.
In her marriage with Shen Jiuyan, Shen Jiuyan was in the wrong. However, she also couldn't shirk her responsibility. She was domineering and didn't pay attention to her tone and manner of speaking. She even used unscrupulous means to alienate her husband and make her son leave her.
Shen Jiuyan looked Ju Qiulan up and down for a moment before looking away. He didn't mention anything about her leaving the hospital. Instead, he instructed Shen Tingxi to arrange for the elders in the gang to meet him at the hospital. After that, he asked, "How's Xin 'er?"
Ju Qiulan thought about what she had found out over the past few days and instantly exploded. She raised her voice and said, "You're still thinking about that little b * tch? Do you know that she's already …"
Shen Tingxi frowned and cleared his throat.
Ju Qiulan instantly realized that she had been too agitated. She stopped herself mid-sentence. Seeing Shen Jiuyan's obviously dark face, she quickly hid the domineering anger on her face and said in a low voice, "I'll let Xi 'er tell you. I'll go ask the doctor if there's anything you need to avoid."
