Shen Tingxi finished packing his clothes and looked up to catch a glimpse of Mu Ningjing's teary eyes. Frightened, he stepped over the suitcase and walked to her in two or three steps. "Why are you crying when you're fine?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head.
"Is it because your wound hurts?"
Mu Ning Jing still shook her head.
Shen Tingxi's sharp eyes were tinged with anxiety. "I'll call the doctor."
Mu Ning Jing held Shen Tingxi's hand and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I'm fine. I just … like you very much."
His Ningning was saying sweet nothings to him again.
But this time, Shen Tingxi wasn't overjoyed. Instead, he frowned. "Why are you crying if you like me?"
Mu Ning Jing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know how to explain the passionate feelings in her heart. With red eyes, she stammered, "I just … like you too much."
Shen Tingxi was even more puzzled. Would she cry if she liked him too much?
People said that they would cry tears of joy, but he didn't have any good news to make her cry like this.
Before Shen Tingxi could figure it out, he felt something soft on his lips. His Ningning had stood up and kissed him!
There were still sparkling tears on her clean little face. Her long and dense eyelashes were wet with tears and gently closed, casting a dark shadow under her eyes.
They were so close that the fine hairs on her face could be seen clearly. Her skin was as fair as a freshly peeled egg.
His Ningning was charming no matter what she looked like. She looked even more lovely after crying. Ningning probably liked him too much. Otherwise, why would she take the initiative to kiss him?
It seemed that he was quite good. He had charmed his Ningning to tears.
Shen Tingxi was narcissistic in his heart. Then, he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
For many years, Shen Tingxi used this as a way to show off in front of Huo Yanqing and Lu Jinshen. He would often say, "My wife cried because of me. Can you make your wife cry?"
After coming out of the hospital, Shen Tingxi planned to go back to Qin Garden first and put the things back home. His main purpose was to get the household register and ID card of the two people.
Just as the car drove to the main road in front of Qin Garden, a figure suddenly appeared from the roadside.
Shen Tingxi hurriedly stepped on the brakes. Fortunately, he took into account that Mu Ning Jing was injured, so he slowed down. Otherwise, if he suddenly stepped on the brakes, Mu Ning Jing's wound would definitely split open. Even so, Mu Ning Jing's body still leaned forward.
Shen Tingxi turned his head and looked at Mu Ning Jing anxiously. "How is it? Did you touch the wound?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head and looked in front of the car in shock. "Tingxi, did we hit someone?"
"No. Don't be afraid. Be good and sit in the car. I'll go out and take a look." Shen Tingxi saw Mu Ning Jing nod and then opened the door to get out of the car. After getting out, he locked the door.
In front of the car, an old woman in her sixties got up from the ground. When she saw Shen Tingxi coming over, she knelt at his feet with a plop. "Mr. Shen, please let our Nana go. She's still young. How can she stay in a dark place like a prison at such a young age? "
Shen Tingxi looked at the old woman kneeling on the ground and frowned. "Did Old Yu send you here?"
The old woman shook her head. "No, I came here on my own. I beg you …"
Shen Tingxi's eyes were tinged with impatience. He coldly interrupted the old woman's words. "Does he think that by sending you here and playing the family card, I'll let the Yu family off?"
A trace of shock flashed across the old woman's eyes. She didn't expect Shen Tingxi to see through her intentions. However, when she thought of her granddaughter who was already in custody, she disregarded her pride and continued to plead. "I beg you, please let Nana go."
"Scram. Otherwise, I'll drive over and give you a quick death!" Shen Tingxi said coldly and got into the car without looking back.
The old woman knelt on the ground and didn't move. She didn't believe that Shen Tingxi would dare to drive over.
Mu Ning Jing sat in the car and could clearly see the scene outside. However, the windows were closed and the door was locked, so she couldn't hear what was happening outside. When she saw Shen Tingxi get into the car, she hurriedly asked him, "Are you okay?"
Shen Tingxi had tried his best to suppress the emotions in his eyes, but the hostility emanating from his body couldn't dissipate in a short time. Therefore, even though he deliberately softened his tone, the words that came out of his mouth were still cold and harsh. "I'm fine."
"Why did she kneel to you …"
Mu Ning Jing still wanted to ask something, but Shen Tingxi interrupted her. "Ningning, close your eyes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the accelerator roared to life, and the friction between the tires and the ground made a sharp ear-piercing sound.
"Ah!"
The old woman outside the car and Mu Ning Jing inside the car screamed at the same time.
In the next second, Mu Ning Jing opened her eyes. The old woman kneeling in front of the car was gone. She couldn't help but tremble all over. She turned her head and looked at Shen Tingxi in horror. "She … she died …"
"Ningning …"
"Go, go." Mu Ning Jing's first reaction was to reach out and push Shen Tingxi away.
Shen Tingxi held Mu Ning Jing's hand. "Ningning, don't be afraid. She's not dead."
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi with a pale face. Her eyes were wide open and she still didn't know how to react. "She's not dead?"
"She's not dead. I stepped on the brakes. I just wanted to scare her. My car's brake system is very good. Don't worry."
Mu Ning Jing looked at the front of the car stiffly. "But … she's gone …"
"She's paralyzed with fear."
Mu Ning Jing felt like she had survived a disaster. She broke out in a cold sweat and tears rolled down her face. She hugged Shen Tingxi tightly. "You scared me to death. Don't do such dangerous things in the future."
Shen Tingxi's heart warmed. This was the first time his Ningning had spoken to him in such a commanding tone. And just now, she thought he had hit someone, so her first reaction was to push him out of the car. His Ningning really loved him to death, and he also loved this Ningning to death.
Shen Tingxi stroked Mu Ning Jing's back. His eyes were murderous before, but now there was only endless love. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Mu Ning Jing was still a little worried. She let go of Shen Tingxi. "I'll go down and take a look. If she's hurt, we can send her to the hospital in time."
Shen Tingxi held Mu Ning Jing's hand. "Don't go."
"You hit her?" Mu Ning Jing thought that Shen Tingxi was afraid that she would see a bloody scene, so he didn't let her get out of the car. Her heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly tensed up.
"No, you don't believe me?" Shen Tingxi frowned slightly.
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi for two seconds. She believed his words. Thinking of his cold and angry attitude towards the old woman just now, she guessed, "She's from the Yu family?"
Shen Tingxi was silent for two seconds. He knew that if he didn't tell her some things, she wouldn't feel at ease. "She's Mu Yiqing's mother."
Mu Ning Jing was stunned. Wasn't Mu Yiqing's mother her grandmother? No wonder she felt that the old woman looked familiar. She had seen her once at Mu Yiqing's funeral, but there were too many people, so she didn't have a deep impression of her.
Shen Tingxi paused for a moment and continued, "Yu Wenbai probably arranged for her to come here. He wants her to do something to you and ask me to let the Yu family off. Do you want to see her?"
