Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Jingping deeply, then nodded after a while, "Yes."
Mu Jingjing's heart suddenly trembled, a look of fear clearly appeared on her demure face, and then she squeezed Shen Tingxi's hand very nervously, "You will go to jail for killing someone. I don't want you to go to jail."
Shen Tingxi was startled for a moment, but she didn't expect Mu Jingran to say that. The corners of her mouth slowly raised, "Are you worried about me?"
Mu Jingping nodded, his eyes full of nervousness and worry.
The smile on Shen Tingxi's lips grew thicker, and she reached out to brush the broken hair on Mu Jingping's forehead. Her expression was so gentle that it was completely different from what she had with Hu Xiner, and her voice was full of joking, trying to make her relax, " Don’t worry, I’m very capable and won’t go to jail. How could I leave such a good girlfriend like you alone?”
Mu Jingping shook his head and looked even more nervous. In her world, no one can escape the punishment of the law. The police uncle is a majestic existence. No matter how powerful Shen Tingxi is, he can't escape the pursuit of the police uncle. "Don't kill people, okay?" ?I am afraid."
The smile in Shen Tingxi's eyes froze for a moment, and then she gently touched Mu Jingping's head and answered in an evasive manner: "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side to protect you."
Mu Jingping held Shen Tingxi's hand a little tighter, "Promise me not to kill anyone, okay?"
Shen Tingxi kept a smile on her lips, lowered her eyes, looked at Mu Jingping's white and slender fingers, and gently rubbed them with her fingertips.
Seeing that Shen Tingxi didn't answer, Mu Jingping's nerves gradually became tense, "Mom is gone, I only have you, and I don't want you to be in any danger."
I only have you.
These words made Shen Tingxi's heart feel painful and sweet at the same time. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Ningjing's fingers, looked at her with deep eyes, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Ning Ning, I don't want to deceive you. I can't do it, but I promise you I will never kill innocent people or put myself in danger."
Mu Jingran's face turned pale with fright, and she retracted her hand. If he wanted to kill someone, he would still kill someone. Maybe the hands that had just held her were already stained with blood. The more Mu Jingran thought about it, his face became paler, and his body subconsciously moved back. Retreat and distance yourself from Shen Tingxi.
Seeing Mu Jingran's reaction, Shen Tingxi frowned a little, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes. He didn't want Mu Jingran to know his dark side. No matter what he did, he could carry her behind his back and always show his only face to her. His brightest side, but he didn't want to deceive her.
It's one thing that she doesn't know, it's another that he went to great lengths to deceive her.
"Ning Ning..." Shen Tingxi reached out to pull Mu Ning Ning.
Mu Jingping put his hands behind his back to avoid Shen Tingxi, and stood up from the sofa, "I'm tired... I need to rest."
Shen Tingxi's outstretched hand froze in the air for two seconds, then retracted it, looking at Mu Jingjing. Her beautiful and quiet face showed no other emotion except fear.
If she resists being with him because of his approach, he can wait slowly and find other ways to get closer to her little by little.
However, if she didn't want to be with him because of what he did, he really...had nothing to do.
Now that he is in this position, it is impossible for him to withdraw. The implication is too great, and withdrawing will only be more dangerous. And since there is no one to replace him, it is impossible for him to escape unscathed.
Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Jingping with a complicated expression for a moment and then stood up, "You have a good rest, I'll leave first."
Mu Jingping looked at Shen Tingxi's back at the door and said, "At least, don't kill Hu Xiner, okay?"
Shen Tingxi did not turn around and was silent for two seconds, "Okay."
The next day, Shen Tingxi came to pick up Mu Ningran for breakfast, but she had already gone to the company.
…
Mu Jingping came to Shu Xin's office and asked Shu Xin, "Is there any entertainment tonight? What do I need to prepare?"
For business entertainment, Shu Xin would definitely bring Mu Tingran with her. Shu Xin wanted Mu Tingran to see more of the world, communicate with more people, train her communication skills, and want her to be less quiet and more lively.
Shu Xin stood up and pulled Mu Jingjing to sit on the sofa next to her, "I'm not looking for you on official business."
Mu Jingping looked at Shu Xin and waited for her to continue.
"Did you and Shen Tingxi get into trouble?" Shu Xin asked.
Mu Jingping lowered his head and stopped humming.
"Shen Tingxi went out for a drink with Yanqing last night and got very drunk."
Mu Jingping immediately raised her eyes to look at Shu Xin, "Is he okay?"
Shu Xin smiled, "You care about him so much, why should I give you leave to go see him?"
Mu Jingping's face turned slightly red and she immediately shook her head.
Shu Xin suppressed the joking smile on her lips, looked at Mu Jingjing seriously and asked, "Because Shen Tingxi's career is not what you like, do you want to break up with him?"
Mu Jingran shook her head hastily. She had never thought of breaking up with him. He was so good to her. As long as he didn't abandon her, she would never leave him.
"Since we're not breaking up, what do you mean by avoiding him these days?" Shu Xin asked.
"I..." Mu Jingping pursed her lips, "I just haven't figured out how to face him yet."
"Are you afraid of him?"
Mu Jingping nodded, then shook his head.
Shu Xin frowned, "Are you afraid or not?"
Mu Jingping lowered his head and said nothing.
Shu Xin held her forehead, Mu Jingran's temperament was really... very worrying. In fact, she sometimes admired Shen Tingxi for being able to get along with such a boring and quiet Mu Jingran.
For Mu Jingping, many times, Shu Xin could only guess a little bit about her inner thoughts.
"Do you know why Shen Tingxi killed Hu Xiner that night?"
Mu Jingjing nodded, "Hu Xin'er is the third party of Ting Xi's parents and ruined his family. Although I think Hu Xin'er is hateful, I can't kill anyone. Shu Xin, killing is against the law. I'm afraid something will happen to him."
Shu Xin's lips curled up slightly and she asked with a smile: "Hu Xiner's involvement in Shen Tingxi's family didn't just happen today. It has been several years. Why does Shen Tingxi suddenly want to touch her?"
Mu Jingjing was not stupid, she heard the tone of Shu Xin's words, "Is there any other reason?"
Shu Xin nodded, "Because of you."
Mu Jingping looked at Shu Xin with confusion, "Me?"
"Well, Shen Tingxi also said it when he was drunk. He said that Hu Xiner hit you and it is unforgivable."
Mu Jingping was startled, and slowly remembered what happened that night. Shen Tingxi saw the marks of being beaten on her face, and asked her who hit her. She said that she accidentally hit her, and she thought he believed it, but she didn't expect him. After leaving her place, he went directly to find Hu Xiner.
Shu Xin's voice continued to ring in her ears, "Shen Tingxi has been unhappy that Hu Xin'er ruined the relationship between Shen Tingxi's parents, but this time Shen Tingxi wanted to kill Hu Xiner because of you."
Mu Jingping was extremely shocked, "Does he want to kill someone because of me?"
