After dinner, four men, Huo Yanqing, Shen Tingxi, Song Li, and Ji Chifeng, gathered around a table to play mahjong.
Comfortable and quiet, Yan Jin sat on the sofa and chatted.
Yan Jin talked little, Mu Jingping talked even less, and Shu Xin tried to liven up the atmosphere a few times, but every time he brought up a topic, it ended without saying a few words.
Because they didn't answer the call.
Yan Jin sat for a moment, stood up, and said to Shu Xin, "I'm going to the lounge to lie down for a while. Call me when you leave."
"Okay Master."
After Yan Jin left, Shu Xin sat down next to Mu Jingping and asked, "Did you and Shen Tingxi quarrel?"
Mu Jingping shook his head, holding a glass of juice in his hand, biting the straw and sucking on it.
"Why do I feel that there is something wrong in the atmosphere between you two? You usually don't like to talk, but Shen Tingxi has been hanging around you. He was just drinking tonight and didn't see you interacting."
Mu Tranquility held the cup and pursed her lips. Tranquility's brows and eyes were full of sorrow.
Shu Xin saw that something was obviously wrong, "Don't keep everything in your mind. Talk to me. It will make you feel more at ease. Maybe I can help you with some advice. If Shen Tingxi bullies you, I will definitely not Spare him lightly."
When she brought Shen Tingxi and Mu Jingran together, Shen Tingxi promised her that she would not bully Mu Jingran.
Mu Jingping raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shen Tingxi in the chess and card room. He was wearing a black shirt, with his sleeves casually pushed at his elbows, revealing his strong forearms with honey-colored skin.
He was leaning slightly to touch the cards, his arms were stretched out, and the fine-quality shirt was stretched and clinging to his body, perfectly showing off the muscle lines of his shoulder blades and waist.
He seemed to feel her gaze and turned to look towards her.
Mu Jingping quickly averted her eyes before he turned around, lowered her head and took a sip of juice, then held the glass tightly with both hands. After feeling the gaze on her, she raised her eyes to look at Shu Xin and whispered Said: "He proposed to me again today."
"You still don't agree?" Shu Xin asked.
Mu Jingping nodded.
"Last time you said it was not the right time, what did you mean?" Shu Xin was confused.
Mu Jingping thought about the agreement with Ju Qiulan and pursed her lips. Ju Qiulan said that Shen Tingxi should not know about their agreement. If she told Shu Xin, Shu Xin would definitely tell Shen Tingxi.
Shu Xin waited for a long time and saw that Mu Jingping had no intention of speaking. She frowned anxiously and said, "Why don't you say something? Is it because of Shen Tingxi's mother?"
Mu Jingping nodded, but then shook his head.
"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Mu Jingping didn't say anything, and Shu Xin could only guess, "You want to wait for Shen Tingxi's mother to accept you before agreeing to him." Proposal?"
Mu Jingping was silent for two seconds and said softly "Hmm".
"Then have you told Shen Tingxi what you meant?"
Mu Jingping shook his head.
Shu Xin held her forehead, "Don't say that Shen Tingxi is not happy. If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either. The marriage proposal was rejected twice, but you didn't tell him the reason. If it were another man, he might think that you are not interested in him at all. It would have been a long time ago." I just left you, luckily he still stayed by your side."
Hearing the word "leave", Mu Jingping's heart felt like needles pricking her heart, and there was dense pain. She raised her eyes to look at Shu Xin, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked helpless.
Shu Xin looked at Mu Jingjing and asked softly: "Have you ever thought that you have always kept your feelings for him deep in your heart, which is unfair to him?"
