Mu Ning Jing wiped away the tears on her face. Her voice was soft and slightly choked as she said, "I'm happy."
Shen Tingxi's heart, which had been in his throat, fell back into his stomach. His lips curved into a doting smile. His Ningning was so silly. He got up and walked to Mu Ning Jing's side. He knelt down on one knee and reached his hand out to her. "Let me put it on for you."
Mu Ning Jing turned slightly to face Shen Tingxi. Her gaze landed on his kneeling knees and her tears flowed freely. This was the fourth time he had knelt down in such a position. She had rejected him three times.
Mu Ning Jing handed the ring to Shen Tingxi. She placed her hand in his palm and watched as the man slowly put the shiny ring on her ring finger. Her heart was filled with something called happiness. It was so much happiness that it felt like it was going to explode.
Shen Tingxi looked at the ring on Mu Ning Jing's finger and his heart finally settled down. He pulled her hand over and kissed the back of her fair hand. "Ningning, thank you for being willing to marry me. I won't let you down in this life."
Mu Ning Jing nodded. She was so happy that her tears flowed down.
Shen Tingxi reached out to wipe her tears. "Silly girl, why are you crying like this? People will think that you were forced to marry me."
Mu Ning Jing shook her head. She held Shen Tingxi's deep-set face in her hands and leaned over. Her lips landed on his. They were just touching and there was no other movement. She closed her eyes to feel the happiness in this moment. Tears were still falling down her face.
Shen Tingxi held Mu Ning Jing's hand as they walked out of the restaurant. The ring on her hand shone brightly under the sunlight. He turned to look at her. "Let's go see Mom after we register our marriage."
Mu Ning Jing thought of Ju Qiulan and the smile on her face faded. In the end, she still nodded. She was married to him. Regardless of whether his parents liked her or not, she had to face them.
Shen Tingxi knew that Mu Ning Jing had misunderstood. He smiled and said, "We're going to see your Mom. Don't you miss her?"
Mu Ning Jing was stunned for a moment before she realized that Shen Tingxi's Mom wasn't Ju Qiulan but Zhao Xiangping. She stopped in her tracks and looked at him. Her eyes started to redden again. He actually remembered what she had said on the phone that night.....
If a person cared about another person, wouldn't that mean that he would take every word she said to heart?
Shen Tingxi smiled helplessly and patted Mu Ningjing's head. "Alright, why are you crying again?"
.................. of course.............................
About fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
As soon as Shen Tingxi opened the door and got out of the car, a group of uniformed people surrounded him. "Shen Tingxi, you are suspected of inciting others to commit murder. Now we are arresting you according to the law for investigation."
Shen Tingxi furrowed his brows. His cold gaze fell on the face of the police officer who had just spoken to him. "Murder? Who did I instigate to kill? "
"Hu Xin 'er," the man replied.
Mu Ning Jing unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to open the door when she was shocked by the sudden appearance of the police officer. Hearing their conversation, her body started to tremble. She hurriedly pushed the door open and got out. She wanted to approach Shen Tingxi, but the police stopped her outside. She couldn't help but shout anxiously, "Tingxi."
Shen Tingxi saw Mu Ning Jing and walked toward the police officer who stopped her. His voice was cold. "Excuse me."
The police officer and Shen Tingxi looked at each other for a few seconds. Then, they released their hands and let Mu Ning Jing in.
Mu Ning Jing held Shen Tingxi's hand tightly. Her crying eyes were full of panic and fear. "Tingxi."
Shen Tingxi gently held Mu Ning Jing's hand. His face was calm without any strange emotions. He smiled gently and gave Mu Ning Jing a reassuring look. "Don't be afraid. It's okay. I'm going to the police station to have a cup of tea. You go home first."
The police officers were speechless. They were very serious, okay?
Shen Tingxi then looked at one of the police officers. "Can I trouble you to send my girlfriend home?"
The police officer who was pointed at by Shen Tingxi looked at their leader and asked with his eyes, "What should we do?"
The police leader ordered, "Send her home."
Mu Ning Jing held Shen Tingxi's hand tightly and refused to let go. "I'm not leaving. I want to be with you."
Shen Tingxi stroked Mu Ning Jing's head and coaxed her softly. "Be good, Ningning. Go home and wait for me, okay?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head with reddened eyes. She tried her best to hold back the tears that were accumulating in her eyes.
Shen Tingxi and Mu Ning Jing looked at each other for a few seconds. His heart ached when he saw how worried she was. "Don't be afraid. I promise you that I'll be fine."
The police officers were speechless. You don't have the final say on whether you'll be fine or not, right? Do you think we're invisible?
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi with tears in her eyes.
Shen Tingxi was at his wit's end. He thought for a while and took out his phone.
Immediately, a police officer came forward to stop him. "The suspect is prohibited from contacting anyone before the investigation."
Shen Tingxi's cold, hawk-like gaze swept over them. "You've scared my girlfriend. I'm just calling a friend to pick her up. Can't I do that?"
The police officer felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Shen Tingxi's gaze, but he still straightened his back. He didn't remove his hand from Shen Tingxi's phone and said righteously, "No."
Shen Tingxi's gaze lingered on the young police officer in front of him for two seconds. He looked like a newborn calf who wasn't afraid of tigers. Then, he looked at their leader. "If I want to resist, you won't be my match even if you join forces. If you want me to cooperate with the investigation, you'll have to settle my girlfriend first."
The leader and Shen Tingxi's gazes locked for a moment. The leader looked at the young police officer. "Let him make the call."
The young police officer looked at his leader in disbelief. He was blatantly threatening him, but the leader actually gave in? "Leader, he …"
"This is an order," the leader said in a low voice.
The young police officer reluctantly withdrew his hand.
Shen Tingxi pulled up Huo Yanqing's phone number from his address book and dialed it. "Ningning is at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I have something to do at the police station. Come and pick her up."
Shen Tingxi hung up the phone after saying that. Then, he looked at Mu Ning Jing. "If you don't want to go home, you can go to Shuxin's place first."
Mu Ning Jing still shook her head.
Shen Tingxi patiently coaxed her. "I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't order anyone to kill anyone. Trust me."
Mu Ning Jing and Shen Tingxi looked at each other quietly for a few seconds before nodding slowly. Her voice was slightly choked. "I'll wait for you to marry me."
"Okay." Shen Tingxi patted Mu Ning Jing's head lovingly.
The leader ordered the police officer beside him, "You stay with this young lady and wait for someone to pick her up." Then, he looked at Shen Tingxi. "Let's go."
Shen Tingxi didn't hesitate. He didn't look at Mu Ning Jing again. He strode toward the police car not far away.
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi's tall and straight back. The tears that she had been holding back for a long time suddenly flowed out. Her heart ached. She felt that they would be separated for a very, very long time …
