Ning Shu heard this and couldn’t help but speak: “When will you be back?”
“Is Brother Ning thinking of me?”
A nonchalant and icy tone came from the other end of the phone.
The young man was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, “Do you have time now? There’s something I want to tell you…”
Shen Ji interrupted him calmly, “I’m rather busy at the moment, Ning Ge. If you have something, please wait for me to go back.”
Ning Shu’s words were stuck in her throat, and she could only say “good.”
But the moment the call ended, he realized that Shen Ji hadn’t told him when he would be back.
This gave Ning Shu a strange feeling.
…it’s like he was being raised at home by Shen Ji as his lover. He couldn’t come back, but everything else would be granted to him.
But Ning Shu also knew that his idea was not feasible. Shen Ji was only monitoring his person.
Or perhaps Shen Ji was afraid he would reveal something he shouldn’t, so he kept him under close watch.
…..
Ning Shu hadn’t expected that after he had just called Shen Ji this morning, the other party would be back in the evening.
The servant came to knock on the door.
Ning Shu heard the other person say, “Mr. Ning, young master is back, he wants you to go to his room and find him.”
Ning Shu was taken aback and asked, “Where is Young Master Shen’s room?”
The servant said, “It’s the one next to Mr. Ning’s, that’s where the master lives.”
After she finished speaking, she withdrew.
Ning Shu came to her senses. It turned out that during this time, the room next to her was Shen Ji’s room? They were only separated by a wall?
However, hearing that Shen Ji was back, he felt a wave of relief.
Because Ning Shu feels a sense of unease towards Shen Ji, who has recovered his memories now. She can tell that Shen Ji is not an ordinary person of the same age, and after recovering his memories, Shen Ji clearly does not have any feelings for her.
He still knows that.
So Ning Shu naturally wouldn’t be so arrogant as to think she could win Shen Ji’s affections with gratitude.
Once he left, he wouldn’t see Shen Ji anymore. Naturally, he wouldn’t be able to complete Ling Ling’s task. But Ling Ling had also said that Shen Ji was difficult to win over. If it was truly unavoidable, Ning Shu could also choose to abandon this mission.
Just have ZeroZero ask the ones above.
….
Before Ning Shu knocked on Shen Ji’s room, an idea flashed through her mind.
If Shen Ji really were as cold and ruthless as Lingling said, then no matter what he did, the other party wouldn’t have a good impression of him.
But what if he could try?
Ning Shu held an uncertain mind, but things hadn’t been tried, how could she know the outcome.
So the young man knocked on the door.
Pursing her lips and hesitating for a moment, she finally called out the name: “…. Xiaoji, are you back?”
“The door is not closed, you can come in.”
A sound came from behind the door.
Ning Shu raised her hand, opened the door, and walked in.
Although Shen Ji was taller than him, he was still just a boy on the cusp of adulthood in both appearance and build. His handsome face was perfect in every way.
He’s probably just naturally strong-willed, and it’s easy to overlook that his original appearance was even more dazzling than the moon.
Shen Ji is like his name, tall and imposing, someone you can admire from afar but not get close to.
“Ning Ge, did you call today to tell me something?”
Shen Ji asked.
He sat there, with a cup of coffee in front of him.
Even when he said nothing, his words seemed to carry authority.
Ning Shu stood still, thought for a moment, and still returned the card she was wearing to the other party.
“This is what you had me take before, but Shen Ji, I didn’t save you for this.”
Shen Ji lowered his eyelids, looking at the card the young man handed over.
“Ning Ge, you misunderstand. It wasn’t me who sent someone to do that.”
Ning Shu’s expression had a moment of surprise and confusion.
Wasn’t it Shen Ji who personally assigned this to others?
Shen Ji put down the cup in his hand and said calmly, “I’ve already taught my subordinate a lesson for not listening. Ning Ge, do you want to go back after returning the money?”
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, he had indeed thought of this before.
But he still tried his best to probe Shen Ji’s current attitude towards him. Ning Shu didn’t think he had helped Shen Ji, but he wouldn’t want to disappoint Lingling either.
What made him feel disappointed was that in the moment he returned the money, Shen Ji didn’t seem to have any change in his attitude towards him.
Ning Shu came back to her senses and nodded, saying: “I’ve been here for several days already, and I still have to go back to work at the company…”
He made his meaning quite clear, hoping Shen Ji could let him go.
And Shen Ji seemed very busy settling accounts with the Shen family, he didn’t have time to pay attention to him here. Ning Shu also found it difficult to see him, and Shen Ji was unwilling to give him a good impression.
After his amnesia, Shen Ji has shown no reaction to anything.
Ning Shuxin felt a little disappointed, but she didn’t insist.
Even if he had the opportunity, he would still try his best to improve Shen Ji’s impression of him. But after losing his memory, Shen Ji seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts. The cold and delicate eyebrows were like those of a terrifying king of hell, making people afraid to look directly at him.
On the contrary, if Ningshu wanted to use kindness to demand Shen Ji’s favor, it would only backfire.
“Ning Ge, must you go to work?”
Shen Ji gazed at him.
Ning Shu didn’t quite understand what he meant, and subconsciously said, “People all have to work, and if I don’t work, I won’t have any income.”
“Since that’s the case, why doesn’t Brother Ning accept my money?”
Shen Ji’s gaze seemed to be posing a question, but his expression remained inscrutable throughout.
Ning Shu, however, thought that Shen Ji was testing him.
He lowered his head and thought seriously: “Xiao Ji, you might think that this sum of money could tempt ordinary people. In fact, no one doesn’t love money. But as I said, even if that person wasn’t you, just an ordinary passerby, I wouldn’t stand by and watch.”
“I believe others would think the same way, it just so happened that I was passing by that day.”
Shen Ji didn’t speak, but his eyebrows and eyes were slightly colder.
Ning Shu didn’t know what she had said wrong, it seemed…Shen Ji seemed a little unhappy.
“Who can save anyone?”
Shen Ji hooked his lips: “Anyone can? Ning Ge, you’re such a good person.”
Ning Shu didn’t think the other party was complimenting her.
As expected, Shen Ji glanced at him and asked, “Do you think I called you here for nothing?”
Ning Shu was slightly startled and pursed her lips: “…Are you worried that I’ll tell others about this? But I’ll keep it a secret.”
Shen Ji replied, “Ning Ge, do you think you have any leverage over me? How many things can you actually say? What could the Shen family do if they found you? What do they need you to do?”
This sentence.
But that caused Ning Shu’s throat to tighten, because he was a little dazedly realizing that it was indeed as Shen Ji said, he had no use value at all. Shen Ji didn’t have to worry at all that he would tell anything.
Ning Shu thought of Shen Ji before he lost his memory, and would tell him that after recovering his memory, he would remember his kindness and repay him.
Could it be that Shen Ji made this promise? <<<
Apart from this, he couldn’t think of anything else.
“So Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, ” … Xiao Ji, are you thanking me?”
Shen Ji reached out his finger.
His fingers were long and fair, but not delicate. Instead, each joint was clearly defined, very beautiful.
He did not deny Ning Shu’s words.
“Brother Ning, are you not enjoying the food here? I can get a new chef.”
Ning Shu shook her head.
Although Shen Ji said that to him on the surface, he didn’t have any good feelings for him at all.
That’s because the clothes and shoes they sent me weren’t good-looking.
Shen Ji’s phoenix eyes stared at him, as if looking at a beloved object: “You can throw them all away. Ning Ge likes what kind of things, I’ll have them get whatever kind.”
Ning Shu shook her head again.
He opened his mouth, unsure why just being in the same room as Shen Ji made him feel inexplicably anxious.
So he hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just used to living in my old place.”
After a moment’s pause, Ning Shu spoke again, “…And I can’t stay here forever.”
“Who says you can’t?”
Shen Ji looked at him intently: “As long as Brother Ning wants, he can stay here forever.”
Something is wrong.
Ning Shuxin felt a little suffocated. He thought Shen Ji’s attitude was off, but he couldn’t put his finger on what was wrong. He still wanted to say something.
But Shen Ji walked over.
He looked at the other person standing before him.
Shen Ji was taller than him, much taller.
And he had only just come of age, with plenty of room to grow. He was still very much a boy. While Ning Shu was lost in thought, Shen Ji had already carried him to the table.
Shen Ji’s room was very big, big enough to hold a lot of things.
This table is probably where Shen Ji often uses, Ning Shu, an adult, sitting on it wouldn’t feel cramped.
When Shen Ji brought him up, the young man’s mind was blank.
The black-haired boy lowered his head, reaching out with his finger.
Ning Shu sat at the table, which wasn’t too high. So Shen Ji just had to lower his head slightly to meet his gaze. His fair fingers gripped the young man’s jaw.
What is Shen Ji doing?
To be precise, why did Shen Ji bring him up like this, and in such a way?
Why… is he touching his chin again.
Ning Shu’s mind was a mess, his first reaction was to run down. But Shen Ji pressed against his shoulder, leaning in.
When she realized her lips had been bitten.
Ning Shu’s entire mind was in a daze.
Shen Ji’s lips were a little cool, he couldn’t describe it. But the black-haired boy had only lightly bitten his lip, as if savoring it gently.
while Ning Shu was so shocked that she was a little dazed.
Because he suspected he was dreaming.
How could Shen Ji kiss him?
