With Aunt Xiang's experience, how could she not see Shen Muqing's unspoken feelings? It looked like this girl was in love. She rubbed her head lovingly and teased, "I wonder which young man is so lucky to receive my Muqing's favor."
A blush rose to Shen Muqing's pretty face and she said coyly, "Aunt Xiang, you only know how to laugh at me."
"Haha, girl, how good would it be if you could be my daughter-in-law."
Aunt Xiang truly liked Shen Muqing. Unfortunately, when she thought of the child bride she had decided on, she immediately dispelled the idea.
Qianlie was no worse than Muqing. Most importantly, she had a simple background, unlike Shen Muqing who came from a large family. How could she make her own decisions about marriage?
"Aunt Xiang, have you found your child?"
Shen Muqing asked timidly, afraid to touch her sore spot.
She was very clear about Aunt Xiang's past. She bravely fought against her family's marriage alliance and unswervingly defended her love. Even after more than 20 years, she still had no regrets.
This was the reason why Aunt Xiang could become her idol. In her bones, she was extremely resistant to marriage alliances that benefited large families. Especially when she thought of their current situation, she felt sad.
She also wanted to be like Aunt Xiang and bravely say no to the marriage alliance, but she did not have the courage to fight against fate. She was afraid that the man she deeply loved would be hurt because of this.
"Not yet."
Aunt Xiang shook her head in distress but was not as heartbroken as Shen Muqing had imagined. Perhaps it had been so long that Aunt Xiang was used to it, Shen Muqing thought to herself.
"Aunt Xiang, why are you living here?"
In order to avoid Aunt Xiang's sadness, Shen Muqing deliberately changed the topic.
"I … came to visit a friend, but he is not at home. I have to wait for him to come back. Yet, some people sent people to watch me like dogs. So, I hid here and waited for my friend to come back."
A cold light flashed through Aunt Xiang's eyes as she spoke through gritted teeth.
Shen Muqing's expression froze. She knew a little about the past. She did not expect that after so many years, that person was still unwilling to give up.
This filled her with sympathy for Aunt Xiang. Her impression of that person plummeted. Indignantly, she pursed her lips. "This is too much. What right does he have to treat you like this? Fortunately, Aunt Xiang didn't marry him back then. Otherwise, I don't know what outrageous things he would have done. "
Aunt Xiang looked at her gently. "Muqing, you have to promise me one thing. You must not tell anyone about meeting me here. Otherwise, my friend will suffer."
"Don't worry, Aunt Xiang. I definitely won't tell anyone, including my parents."
Shen Muqing promised seriously and then urged, "Aunt Xiang, eat quickly. The dishes are getting cold."
"It's okay, I'm not that hungry. It's just that it doesn't look right if I don't order something when it's time to eat."
Aunt Xiang took Shen Muqing's hand and said, "Are you going to graduate soon? What are your plans after graduation? "
"I'm much better now. Recently, I've been preparing for an advertising company. After all, I'm studying advertising design. I have to apply what I've learned. Only in this way can I realize the value of my life …"
Shen Muqing excitedly described her grand blueprint to her. Many unique understandings and insights moved Aunt Xiang. This girl really had a lot of ideas. She was a talent.
As the head of a business group, Aunt Xiang taught her everything she knew and pointed out the right path for her. This made Shen Muqing feel that she had gained something and asked for advice more humbly.
The two beauties, one big and one small, chatted happily. Before they knew it, it was already evening. Shen Muqing looked at the dim light in the room and exclaimed, "Ah, it's already so late."
"Haha, if you have something to do, go ahead. Anyway, my friend hasn't come back yet. I'll wait for him here."
Aunt Xiang said with a smile.
Shen Muqing bit her lower lip and said softly, "I actually have nothing to do. I don't know where a friend of mine has gone these days. I just want to see if he has come back."
No one knew that Shen Muqing had been silently watching Ding Ning. On the second day after Ding Ning went to the deserted island, Shen Muqing found that he was not there. Every evening, she habitually went to take a look.
"Is it your little boyfriend?" Aunt Xiang teased with a smile.
Shen Muqing blushed and rebuked shyly, "Aunt Xiang, if you make fun of me again, I'll ignore you."
"Hey, little girl, you're shy. Haha, okay, Aunt Xiang won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and go find your little lover."
Aunt Xiang looked at Shen Muqing's shy look and secretly sighed that it was so good to be young. Even if she could not escape the fate of being married, at least she had truly loved once in her youth. Then she would have no regrets in this life.
"Aunt Xiang, I'm leaving. I'll bring you delicious food later. I'll chat with you tonight."
Shen Muqing waved her hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, I want to vomit from eating takeout these two days. Bring me something delicious."
Aunt Xiang thought for a while. Anyway, she did not know when Ding Ning would come back, so it was better to let Shen Muqing accompany her.
"Then wait for me. I'll be back soon!"
Shen Muqing said goodbye and left happily. She loved peace and quiet very much, but when she was with Aunt Xiang, she always felt that there were endless things to talk about, just like when she was with Ding Ning.
In particular, Ding Ning and Aunt Xiang gave her a very similar feeling. Hey, Shen Muqing was stunned. It seemed that they also looked a little similar.
Shaking her head, Shen Muqing did not think much. One was the proud daughter of a prominent family in Yan Jing, and the other was a young man in a small town on the southwest border. They were not related at all. How could they be related?
"Ding!"
Just as she sent Shen Muqing away, the doorbell rang again. Aunt Xiang shook her head and chuckled. Why did Muqing come back so early? Did she forget something?
Opening the door, Aunt Xiang was stunned when she saw the person. "Knife Scar? Why are you here? "
"Madam! Young Master is back. "
Knife Scar looked at Aunt Xiang excitedly and said respectfully.
Aunt Xiang, who had always been calm and cold, froze. Before Ding Ning came back, she thought about him every day and night, but when she was really about to see him, she felt nervous. This was probably the fear of returning home. Taking a deep breath, her heart pounded. Her voice trembled and she said helplessly, "Is … is he all right?"
"Young Master is very well. He is now doing experiments in the laboratory of Ninghai University."
Knife Scar tried to keep his tone calm.
"Wait for me outside for a while. I … I'll go change."
Aunt Xiang's mood was very chaotic. She forced herself to calm down and rushed into the bedroom to dress up.
The corner of Knife Scar's mouth moved. He wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to say, "Madam, you don't have to dress up. Young Master can't see you."
But in the end, he did not say anything. He quietly closed the door and went downstairs to wait. He could understand Madam's nervousness right now. After all, this was her son she had not seen for more than 20 years. Even if she only saw him from afar, she would show her best side.
Ding Ning stretched and looked at the bottles of medicine on the test bench with a faint smile on his face. After repeated tests, the stable new medicine had finally been successfully developed. Now, they only needed to take it to the relevant departments for clinical trials and they could be mass-produced.
"Brother, let's eat first."
Luoxue had already deftly prepared dinner. Looking at the smile on Ding Ning's face, she felt very happy. "Brother, why are you so happy? Is it because the new medicine has been successfully developed? "
"Yes, Luoxue, give the new medicine a name. Based on the practice of the medical world, the researchers have the right to name each new medicine."
Ding Ning said unclearly as he pushed through the rice and dishes. Luoxue's cooking skills had improved again.
"I don't know how to give names. The new medicine you developed should be named by me. How about we call it Ding Ning Medicine?"
Luoxue suggested happily.
"No way. My name is not suitable to be the name of a medicine."
Ding Ning smiled and shook his head. Thinking, he said, "The main ingredients of the new medicine are two kinds of microorganisms, rice grains and bean sprouts. It is an oral medicine made by combining the medicinal properties of 17 kinds of Chinese herbs. How about we call it Rice Bean Oral Liquid?"
"Whatever you say, brother. Wasn't there a vaccine for cow pox in the past? Rice Bean is also very good. "
Luoxue blinked her big eyes. She had no objection to such a low-class name. In her mind, any name that Ding Ning thought of was good.
Ding Ning had never had any talent for names. He said somewhat complacently, "Then let's call it Rice Bean."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Ning's face darkened. He looked outside and said sternly, "Who is it?"
The figure outside the door flashed into the distance. Without thinking, Ding Ning put away the Rice Bean medicine and hurriedly exhorted, "Luoxue, be careful. I will be back soon."
"Brother …"
Luoxue wanted to say something, but Ding Ning's figure had already disappeared in front of her. She frowned and made strange sounds. The crow, Blackie, flew out of nowhere and intimately circled around Luoxue.
"Little Black, follow brother to take a look."
Luoxue ordered worriedly. Without another word, Little Black flew out and chased after Ding Ning.
The more Ding Ning chased, the more he frowned. The figure in front of him was very tall. He wore a hat and a mask so his face could not be seen clearly. He was neither fast nor slow and would occasionally look back at him. He did not escape to a deserted place as Ding Ning had thought. Instead, he went wherever there were many people, as if he was deliberately luring him out.
Who was this person? Why did he come to the lab to spy? Did he want to check the progress of the medicine's development? Or did he have other purposes?
In a place with many people, Ding Ning could not chase wildly without restraint to avoid shocking the world. He could only follow behind the person, neither too far nor too close.
The figure stopped at the gate of a residential area near the school. He turned around and looked quietly at Ding Ning.
Ding Ning approached him warily, stared into his eyes, and said coldly, "Who are you?"
The man suddenly reached out and took off his mask, revealing a face that Ding Ning was somewhat familiar with. He looked at him with a smile and said respectfully, "Young master, you are becoming more and more vigilant."
"It's you?" Ding Ning looked at the scar on the man's face and suddenly trembled. He cried out involuntarily.
"I didn't expect young master to remember me."
Knife Scar looked at Ding Ning with some surprise. After all, when he first appeared, Ding Ning was about to faint. It was not easy for him to remember his appearance.
"Are you my sister's person?"
Ding Ning's voice trembled, and he suddenly panicked. Was the sister he had never met finally going to see him?
Knife Scar looked a little shocked. He really did not expect that young master would know the existence of Miss. It seemed that he had underestimated young master.
"Creak!"
A Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped beside them. Ding Qianlie got out of the car with slightly red eyes and shouted in a trembling voice, "Brother!"
"Are you my sister?"
