It was not a good thing for his son to be too strong. Did he look down on his father?
It seemed that his daughter-in-law could help him turn things around in the future.
Shen Jiuyan was happily thinking about how she would turn over a new leaf in front of Shen Tingxi in the future. However, on the surface, she was watching the television with a serious expression, waiting for Shen Tingxi to come over and continue apologizing.
Shen Tingxi adjusted his facial expression and walked over to sit beside Shen Jiuyan. He thought of what Ning Ning had just taught him and said, "Dad, it's been hard on you these days. I misunderstood you just now. I know you did it for the sake of Ning Ning and me. Thank you for your good intentions."
Shen Jiuyan was overjoyed, but the corners of his eyes were a little dry. How many years had it been since his son called him dad? It seemed that he had changed to calling him old man after Qiu Lan's accident.
Shen Jiuyan turned to look at Shen Tingxi, only to see his calm expression as if he was reciting a textbook. The smile on his face froze instantly, and the turbid look in his eyes turned to ice. He was wondering why his naughty son suddenly changed. It turned out that these words did not come from his heart at all. They were taught by Mu Ning Jing.
People were like this. For the people they cared about, at first, they hoped that they would be nice to you. When they were really nice to you, they hoped that they would be sincere to you.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Shen Jiuyan's mood was like a roller coaster, soaring to the sky one moment and falling to the bottom the next.
Shen Jiuyan despised himself. He had seen all kinds of storms, but his son's words had caused his mood to go up and down. He pushed Shen Tingxi away with some annoyance. "Go away, go away. You have no sincerity at all."
Shen Tingxi really wanted to beat up the old man who was courting death, but his little wife was staring at him. Suppressing his inner emotions, Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Ningjing with a smile, but he leaned over to Shen Jiuyan's side and said in a low voice, "I advise you to stop before you go too far. Otherwise, I won't appreciate your little effort."
Shen Jiuyan turned to look at Shen Tingxi.
Shen Tingxi retracted his gaze from Mu Ning Jing and smiled at Shen Jiuyan, but there was an obvious threat in his eyes.
Shen Jiuyan felt better. This was his son's style. After all, he knew his son's feelings. That was enough. However, Shen Jiuyan still put on a front, but he did not continue to act. He stood up with a straight face and went upstairs.
When Mu Ning Jing saw that Shen Jiuyan had left, she quickly sat down beside Shen Tingxi and asked, "Has Dad forgiven you?"
Shen Tingxi nodded.
Mu Ning Jing frowned. "But I didn't hear Dad say anything."
"It's fine as long as we talk things out as a family. Do I have to apologize to him and he has to say it's fine?"
"That's true, but …"
Mu Ning Jing's lips were sealed by Shen Tingxi's. Her eyes widened. They were at home. He … he … he actually kissed her like this?!
After being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly pushed Shen Tingxi's chest with her small hands.
Shen Tingxi let go of her and patted her head affectionately. He asked, "Do you want some water?"
Mu Ning Jing nodded in a daze. Her mouth was dry from his kisses outside. Now that he had kissed her, she was nervous and wanted to drink water.
"Wait here. I'll get some for you." Shen Tingxi stood up and walked to the kitchen. His lips curved into a naughty smile. His Ning Ning was so innocent. She forgot everything after a kiss.
…
At the dinner table, Ju Qiulan placed some food into Mu Ning Jing's bowl. "Eat more. You're too skinny."
Mu Ning Jing nodded, feeling flattered. Although Ju Qiulan treated her well, she was always on her side in action. She only disliked her verbally. Ju Qiulan had never been so close to her before. "Thank you, Auntie."
Ju Qiulan frowned when she heard the word 'Auntie'. She looked up at Shen Jiuyan, who was sitting at the head of the table, with some resentment.
Shen Jiuyan looked serious, but there was a smile in her eyes as she looked at her. Under her gaze, she also placed some food into Mu Ning Jing's bowl. However, she didn't say anything.
Mu Ning Jing's eyes widened. She was obviously shocked by Shen Jiuyan's actions.
Shen Jiuyan felt uncomfortable under her daughter-in-law's gaze. She cleared her throat awkwardly. "Let's eat."
Mu Ning Jing came back to her senses and nodded. "Thank you, Dad."
Shen Jiuyan looked at Ju Qiulan proudly. Her proud gaze seemed to say, "See, I didn't lie to you. My daughter-in-law has changed her way of calling me Dad, but she still calls you Auntie."
Ju Qiulan glanced at Shen Jiuyan. She was depressed and lost all her appetite. She put down her chopsticks and said unhappily, "I'm going upstairs."
Mu Ning Jing saw that Ju Qiulan didn't eat much. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Auntie, are you full?"
Ju Qiulan felt that the word 'Auntie' was too harsh. Since she was in a bad mood, she naturally didn't speak nicely. She was even a little aggressive. "I'm not eating. I'm on a diet!"
"Auntie, you're not fat at all …"
"I already said that I'm not eating. Why are you so nosy?" Ju Qiulan heard the word 'Auntie' again. She was so angry that she blurted it out. After she finished speaking, she saw Mu Ning Jing's hurt little face and regretted it. However, she couldn't take back what she had said. Her personality didn't allow her to lower her head at this time.
Shen Tingxi was unhappy. He stepped forward to protect his wife. "Mom, Ningning is concerned about you. Why are you treating her like this?"
Her daughter-in-law didn't want to be close to her, and her son also criticized her. Ju Qiulan was furious. She couldn't care less and let her temper run wild. "Who asked her to care? Did I beg her? It's enough that she cares about your dad. Why does she care about me? "
"You're really …"
Mu Ning Jing quickly tugged at Shen Tingxi's hand and shook her head at him.
Shen Tingxi swallowed the rest of his words. He didn't look at Ju Qiulan anymore. He picked up some food for Mu Ning Jing and said, "Let's eat. If she doesn't want to eat, we should eat more."
Ju Qiulan was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet. She turned around and went upstairs.
After dinner, Mu Ning Jing habitually helped Nanny Zhang clear the table. After the two entered the kitchen, Nanny Zhang leaned over to Mu Ning Jing and whispered, "Ningning, Madam isn't angry with you. She's just jealous."
Jealous?
Mu Ning Jing blinked her clear eyes. She was confused. Shen Jiuyan didn't have any women around him. Why would she be jealous?
Suddenly, Mu Ning Jing remembered what Ju Qiulan had said before she left. "It's enough that she cares about your dad. Why does she care about me?" Could it be that Ju Qiulan had misunderstood her going out with Shen Jiuyan every day?
Mu Ning Jing's face turned pale at the thought of this possibility. She hurriedly said to Nanny Zhang, "Nanny Zhang, I'm dead set on Tingxi. I won't like anyone else in this lifetime except for him. Also … also, I don't like men like Father."
Mu Ning Jing's voice grew softer and softer. She felt that this kind of misunderstanding … was too embarrassing.
Nanny Zhang was stunned when she heard this. It took her a few seconds to understand what Mu Ning Jing meant. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mu Ning Jing looked at Nanny Zhang in confusion. Then, she anxiously glanced at the door. She was afraid that Shen Tingxi would hear the commotion. After all, this matter had a bad influence. Shen Tingxi had a short temper. What if he misunderstood and came to settle the score with Shen Jiuyan?
