Chapter 1466 1586, Pushed to the Limit

"What's wrong?" Shen Tingxi asked.

Shen Jiuyan said, "There was a problem with a batch of arms. I was planning to go over and have a look. I had already booked the tickets, but I didn't expect that I was not in good health."

Shen Tingxi's expression was not very good. He and Mu Ningjing had not been on good terms during this period. Not only had they not seen each other for several days, but Mu Ningjing might have misunderstood him and Yu Anna today. He didn't want to leave at this time.

However, the arms business was risky, and he and Shen Jiuyan had always handled it personally. Now that Shen Jiuyan was sick, he had to go again. He frowned and asked, "What time is the flight?"

Shen Jiuyan knew that Shen Tingxi had agreed to go, "In an hour."

Shen Tingxi's expression became even uglier. It took more than 40 minutes from him to the airport, and he had to pack his luggage, so he had no time to see Mu Ningjing again.

"What's wrong? Can't you leave? Or should I go?" Shen Jiuyan said as he was about to get up from the bed.

"Why are you pretending? Didn't you call me back just to let me go? Lie down well for me." Shen Tingxi glanced at Shen Jiuyan coldly, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

Shen Tingxi returned to his room, but did not rush to pack his luggage. Instead, he stood by the window and called Mu Ningjing. No one answered the call for a long time until it was automatically hung up.

Shen Tingxi pinched his forehead. He was hungover and his head was very heavy. He put the phone back in his pocket, turned around and walked to the cloakroom, pulled out the suitcase, and took two sets of clothes to change into the suitcase. When he was about to close the suitcase, Ju Qiulan came in, glanced at the messy suitcase, frowned and said, "How can you pack like this? I'll do it."

Shen Tingxi saw Ju Qiulan squatting down and folding clothes for him, so he didn't care anymore. He walked to the watch counter next to him with his long legs, leaned against the cabinet casually, took out his mobile phone and started to call Mu Ningjing again. He called three times in a row, but the result was the same, no answer.

Shen Tingxi walked to the window irritably, lit a cigarette and started puffing out smoke. His deep and sharp features were shrouded in the blue-white smoke, making him look even more sinister and cold.

Ju Qiulan glanced at her son, whose back was full of irritability, and said while packing clothes: "Xi'er, smoke less, it's bad for your health."

Shen Tingxi said "hmm", stood by the window without moving, still biting the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, with worry on his brows. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly turned and walked to the door, "I will arrange for someone to send the things directly to the airport. I will go there later."

"Xi'er, where are you going?" Ju Qiulan hurriedly got up and chased him out.

"It's urgent." Shen Tingxi had already left the bedroom door after saying this.

When Ju Qiulan chased him out of the bedroom, Shen Tingxi had already gone downstairs to the hall. Until he couldn't stop him, he could only remind him, "Watch the time and don't miss the plane."

"I know." Shen Tingxi left the villa, got into the car, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and the car quickly drove away from the villa. All the actions were quick and neat.

After the car merged into the traffic, it sped quickly on the avenue. It ran through countless red lights along the way. It arrived at a new community, climbed up the stairs three steps at a time, came to Mu Ningjing's door, and knocked on the door, "Ningning, open the door."

Shen Tingxi knocked several times, but there was no movement inside. He could only stand at the door and said, "Ningning, I have to go on a long trip for an urgent matter. Can you see me?"

In the room, on the sofa, Mu Ningjing cried with red eyes. When she heard Shen Tingxi say that he was going on a long trip, she didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She got off the sofa and walked quickly to the door. She stretched out her hand to open the door, but quickly retracted it. She touched her face in panic, all tears. How could she see him like this?

And during the time when Shen Tingxi was away just now, she made a decision. She was as humble as dust and should have lived in the dark. She was too greedy and wanted to walk into the sun. It was time to wake up from the dream. She shouldn't force things that didn't belong to her. Forcing would only make her more ashamed.

"Shen Tingxi... Let's break up."

Shen Tingxi's heart ached outside the door, and his face turned cold instantly, "I don't agree, why do we have to break up?" He knocked on the door hard, "Ningning, open the door."

Mu Ningjing squatted on the ground, covering her face and sobbing.

"Ningning, open the door, if you don't open it, I'll kick it." Shen Tingxi waited for two seconds, but there was no movement. He was really forced by Mu Ningjing, and really kicked the door.

Mu Ningjing stood up from the ground in fear. She lived in an old community, and the door was fragile. In addition, Shen Tingxi was very strong. After just one kick, the door shook a few times, and it seemed that it was about to be kicked open.

Mu Ningjing hurried over, her back against the door, crying, "I don't want to see you."

When Shen Tingxi kicked again, he found resistance. He could guess that Mu Ningjing resisted. He was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to kick again. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. Time was almost too late. Anxiety appeared on his frowning brows, "Ningning, you misunderstood the hotel. Yu Anna and I have nothing. You have to believe me. I don't agree to break up. I have an emergency and I will leave for a few days. Take good care of yourself."

There was no response in the room. Shen Tingxi sometimes really didn't know how to love Mu Ningjing. She was quiet, sensitive, fragile, and untouchable. It seemed that no matter what he did, it was wrong. The feeling of being close and distant tormented his heart.

Regardless of taking her for himself and imprisoning her by his side.

This idea often popped up in his mind.

For example, now, he wanted to rush in, press Mu Ningjing under him, possess her fiercely, and let her feel his love for her personally.

Before this idea devoured his reason, Shen Tingxi turned around and walked downstairs quickly.

Because he knows that once something is done, it may be irreversible.

In the room, Mu Ningjing heard the footsteps coming down the stairs getting smaller and smaller. She hurriedly opened the door, walked to the stairs, looked down, and didn't see Shen Tingxi. She ran to the window of the corridor and looked down. She saw Shen Tingxi wearing a dark gray shirt and black trousers. He walked quickly to the car not far away, opened the door, and got in. The black SUV quickly disappeared from her sight.

As the car left, Mu Ningjing felt her heart suddenly empty.

…

Dongzai’s tense nerves relaxed when Shen Tingxi appeared at the airport. He thought Shen Tingxi was not coming, so he hurried over and said, “Young Master, the plane is about to take off.”

Shen Tingxi strode towards the security check, “Please arrange two more people to go to Yixin Community. If she has any problems during my absence, I will only ask you.”

Dongzai nodded hurriedly, “Young Master, don’t worry, I will definitely put Miss Mu’s safety first.”

“Well.” Shen Tingxi raised his hand and made a stop gesture, “Don’t send me off.”

Dongzai watched Shen Tingxi disappear from his sight, turned around and began to arrange people to protect Mu Ningjing. This was the apple of the young master’s eye, and he dared not be careless.
