Mu Jingping took leave from the company and saw Shen Tingxi standing by the car answering the phone from a distance, facing her with one hand in his trouser pocket, his body lines smooth and straight, his face deep and sharp, looking at her from a distance It gives people a feeling of being cold and hard to approach.
Maybe he felt her gaze, so he turned his head and looked towards her, and then his cold brows opened with a hint of tenderness. The cold aura on his body gradually dissipated, and his whole person became much softer.
He hung up the phone and watched her approach with a slight smile.
Mu Jingping walked to the car. Shen Tingxi opened the passenger door for her. After she sat in, he leaned in and fastened her seat belt. He patted her head lovingly, then closed the door and walked around the front of the car. Sit in the driver's seat, start the engine, and merge the car into traffic.
Since meeting Shen Tingxi in a nurse's uniform that night, she hasn't seen him for a week. Mu Ningran's longing eyes lingered on Shen Tingxi.
Shen Tingxi felt Mu Jingping's gaze, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she turned to look at her, "Staring at me, do you miss me?"
"Yeah." Mu Jingping responded softly.
The corners of Shen Tingxi's lips deepened, and she controlled the steering wheel with one hand. She held Mu Jingping's little hand across the center console with one hand, squeezed it gently, and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
Mu Jingping held his hand tightly with her backhand, "Go back to Qinyuan first. I don't have my ID card or household registration book with me."
Before leaving the company, Mu Jingping received a call from Shen Tingxi, asking her to take leave, and the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate.
Shen Tingxi pointed to the storage compartment and said, "I've already brought it to you."
Mu Jingping's little heart began to beat rapidly. She was nervous, expectant and excited. She suppressed her restless heart and asked softly: "Is Uncle Shen awake?"
"Wake up, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave the hospital."
"Yeah." Mu Jingping nodded.
The two of them didn't speak anymore. Mu Jingping lowered his head and listened quietly to his thunderous heartbeat, recalling every bit of the past with Shen Tingxi in his mind, with a slight smile on his lips.
When the car stopped, Mu Jingping's heart beat faster. Is it time yet
When he raised his head, he saw that it was not the Civil Affairs Bureau as he had imagined, but a restaurant. Mu Jingping turned to look at Shen Tingxi in confusion.
Shen Tingxi let go of her hand and said, "Eat something first and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Mu Jingran wanted to say that she wasn't hungry, but when she thought about it, she felt that if she said that, it would seem that she couldn't wait to marry him. Although she really couldn't wait, at this time, Mu Jingran felt that she should be obedient. It's better to listen to his arrangements.
After getting out of the car, Shen Tingxi took Mu Jingping's hand again and led her all the way to the box on the second floor.
Pulling out the chair and watching Mu Ningran sit down, Shen Tingxi sat down opposite her.
There were two plates of cakes, two glasses of red wine, and some afternoon tea snacks on the table. It was obvious that Shen Tingxi had prepared them.
Shen Tingxi magically took out a bouquet of fresh roses from his side and handed it to Mu Jingping.
Mu Jingping took it with surprise on her face.
"Do you like it?" Shen Tingxi asked.
There are almost no women who don’t like flowers.
Especially the roses, which symbolize love, were given to her at such a special moment.
Mu Jingping's heart was filled with happiness, and her face was filled with a charming smile. She lowered her head and smelled it. It was very fragrant, the smell of love, "I like it."
"Ninety-nine flowers symbolize our everlasting love."
Mu Jingping raised her eyes, and her eyes with Shen Tingxi's were locked in the air, "Well, for a long time."
"The cakes in this store are delicious. It has the matcha flavor you like. Try it." Shen Tingxi's deep eyes fell on the cake in front of Mu Jingran.
"Okay." Mu Jingping put the rose on the chair aside, picked up a spoon, cut off a small piece and put it into her mouth. The faint fragrance of matcha spread in her mouth. It was her favorite taste. She looked up and saw Shen Tingxi staring intently. He looked at her and smiled back at him, "It's delicious."
Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Jingping's mouth nervously, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Yeah." Mu Jingping took several bites of the cake, but nothing was out of the ordinary. Shen Tingxi looked a little anxious and said, "Ning Ning, I heard from the boss here that the matcha cake tastes better if you eat it in big bites."
Mu Jingping looked at Shen Tingxi with some doubts. After eating matcha cake for so many years, she never heard that eating it in big bites is more delicious, "Is it true?"
Shen Tingxi nodded blindly, "Really, if you don't believe me, try it."
"...Okay." Although Mu Jingping was a little hesitant, he still took out a big spoonful and stopped when he brought it to his mouth. He looked at Shen Tingxi. Before he could speak, Shen Tingxi spoke first, "Eat it. Eat it, chew slowly, don't choke."
"Um."
Shen Tingxi leaned forward a little and looked at Mu Jingjing seriously. Suddenly she saw her chewing stopped and asked quickly: "Did you bite something?"
Mu Jingping shook his head, and after a while he swallowed all the cake in his mouth before speaking, "It seems that it really tastes better if you eat it in big mouthfuls."
"It will definitely taste better if you take a big bite." After making up a random sentence, Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Jingjing with some worry, "Did you really not eat anything else just now?"
Mu Jingping blinked, feeling that something was wrong with Shen Tingxi's expression, as if she should eat something. Did he ask the waiter to add some special ingredients to the cake
Didn't she eat it
Mu Jingping thought about it carefully, and there was nothing unusual except that the matcha cake tasted better and stronger than the matcha cake he had eaten before.
I really couldn’t figure it out, so I had to ask him, “Should I get something?”
Shen Tingxi stared at the half-eaten cake in front of Mu Jingjing and was silent for a few seconds. In the end, she was really worried that she would be harmed by eating the cake, so she didn't care about the surprise. She told the truth: "I put a ring on the cake." inside. "
Mu Jingping's beautiful eyes were slightly widened, surprise and emotion slowly appeared in her eyes.
Shen Tingxi said worriedly: "You didn't eat it, did you?"
Mu Jingping shook his head, and the next second he took a spoon and started to pull the matcha cake in front of him bit by bit. After a few pulls, he saw the ring hidden in the light green cake.
Shen Tingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't eat it, otherwise the surprise would turn into shock.
Mu Jingping took the ring out of the cake, wiped it clean with a paper towel, lowered his head, and looked at it quietly without making a sound.
Shen Tingxi was a little worried. What kind of crazy idea did Dong Zai come up with? He said it was romantic and that Ning Ning would definitely like it. Why was there no reaction at all
Ning Ning won’t refuse, right
My marriage proposal was rejected too many times, and I felt too insecure.
Shen Tingxi suppressed the anxiety in her heart and said in a soft voice: "Ning Ning, can I put it on for you?"
Mu Jingping slowly raised his head.
Shen Tingxi realized that Mu Jingping had burst into tears at some point, and suddenly panicked, "Ning Ning, why are you crying?"
