Ming Xi turned her head to look at the man's receding figure, but could only bite the bullet and keep up.

She walked out of the hospital gate, only to find that Shen Tinglu had returned to the back seat of the Bentley.

"Where are you going to take me?" Ming Xi walked to the car window and asked hesitantly.

There was a laptop on the man's lap, and he was looking at some information intently, without raising his head when he heard the words, "It seems that you don't have any sincerity."

These words are obviously blaming her for not being straightforward.

Ming Xi was stunned for a while, and after realizing it, she touched her nose in embarrassment, "That's not what I meant."

"Drive, go back." Shen Tinglu ignored him, and looked coldly at Xu Wen who was walking quickly.

Xu Wen nodded in understanding, hurried back to the driver's seat, and secretly gave Mingxi a look to remind him.

If you don't get in the car again, Mr. Shen will be angry!

Ming Xi pursed her lips, her eyes fell on Shen Tinglu's injured palm, and she finally sat in the passenger seat.

Xu Wen was taken aback for a moment, so frightened that he didn't dare to look at Shen Tinglu's gloomy face in the rearview mirror.

Mr. Shen clearly wanted Miss Mingxi to sit in the back seat with him, but Miss Mingxi deliberately sat in the passenger seat...

Xu Wen could only bite the bullet and start the car, and drove towards Shen Tinglu's mansion.

Ten minutes later, seeing the scenery outside the car getting more and more familiar, Ming Xi couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the man.

Shen Tinglu was still staring at the laptop, his brows were furrowed, as if he was still working hard, and he didn't notice her doubts at all.

Seeing that the car stopped in front of a familiar villa, Ming Xi's heart became restless again.

After the man got out of the car, she quickly opened the door to follow, "Why did you bring me back here?"

She once thought that after divorcing him, she would never step into this place again.

Shen Tinglu didn't answer, just walked into the house looking ahead.

Ming Xi curled her lips and waved her fist at his back.

Xu Wen laughed awkwardly as he followed her, "Boss Shen won't hurt you, so don't worry."

"I know." Ming Xi lowered her eyes.

After all, it was thanks to this man that she was rescued today.

But now, there are indeed many questions in my heart that I want to know.

Ming Xi thought about it, and finally followed into the house.

The luxurious decoration in the villa remained unchanged, exactly the same as when she moved out more than a month ago.

It's just that perhaps because of her departure, the already deserted house seemed even more devoid of fireworks.

Realizing that she had come up with such a ridiculous idea, Ming Xi smiled self-deprecatingly.

"What are you thinking?" The man who had been silent all this time sat down on the sofa and looked at her leisurely.

Ming Xi shrugged, "This has nothing to do with you."

It is a fact that Shen Tinglu saved her, but she is not obliged to report everything to him.

The man tugged at the collar of his shirt, with displeasure on his brow.

After getting along with him for so many years, Ming Xi suddenly understood that it was her words that made him unhappy.

But she was not in a hurry to explain, but asked again: "I also followed you here, now, can you tell me your purpose?"

"Stay here." The man said lightly.

"What?" Ming Xi was taken aback, worried that she was hallucinating, so she subconsciously asked.

"My purpose is to let you stay." Shen Tinglu crossed his legs, and his expression was very flat, making it impossible to figure out his thoughts.

Ming Xi's breathing was stagnant, and the hands hanging by her sides were slowly tightened.

After a long time, she squeezed out a bitter smile, "At that time you were eager to push me away, but now you want me to stay, Shen Tinglu, what do you think of me?"

She is also human, why does this man always kick her around like a football.

The man caught the pain in her eyes, and his heart ached slightly.

He turned his head to prevent her from catching the pity on his face.

"So, after you let me stay, you want me to witness the loving scene between you and Ming Xiao or other women?" Ming Xi tried hard to calm herself down, but when she thought of the hurt she had suffered, her body couldn't help trembling.

She couldn't forget Mingxiao's betrayal of her, she couldn't forget the pain of the child disappearing from her body after Shen's mother pushed her down, and she couldn't forget the desolation that her husband never looked at her more in the past three years of marriage.

"You think too much." Shen Tinglu calmed down and looked back at her, "The doctor said that my injured hand should not touch the water, so I need someone to take care of my daily necessities in the short term."

Ming Xi came to her senses, and looked away in embarrassment, "But you have so many servants in your family, why did you find me?"

"You said you wanted to repay me. Why, do you want to go back on your word now?" Shen Tinglu stood up, pinched her chin with knuckle fingers, and raised her eyebrows, "Or are you afraid that you will fall in love with me again? That's why you dare not come back to me?"

The moment the coolness of his fingers touched her skin, the dust-covered heart beat suddenly.

Ming Xi sneered, "Who says I'm afraid, even if I stay by your side for the rest of my life, I will never fall in love with you."

The man's eyes narrowed, and there was a little more danger in his eyes.

Ming Xi patted his hand, "Although I did owe you a favor, the person who plotted to hurt me this time is your little lover."

"Are you explaining Xiao?" Shen Tinglu subconsciously said these words, and after he finished speaking, he was taken aback.

He didn't understand why he suddenly thought of that woman.

Ming Xi curled her lips and sneered, "It seems that you already have the answer in your heart. In return, I can not hold her accountable this time, so now you and I owe each other nothing."

After speaking, she turned to leave.

The footsteps were a little anxious, and there was a hint of evasion.

Shen Tinglu grabbed her wrist, "She is her, I am me, even if she really did this, it has nothing to do with me."

"You—" Ming Xi couldn't find the words to refute for a while.

Because what Shen Tinglu said made some sense.

But how could she allow herself to stay in this place where she had been hurt a lot.

Ming Xi softened her voice, and tried to discuss with him, "But I can't delay my work in K City, so can I repay you in another way."

She really didn't want to owe this man a lifetime because of this incident.

Shen Tinglu rubbed his chin, "I can move to City K for a few days."

"This is not an important decision for you." Ming Xi shook off his hand, "If it makes you delay work, I can't bear the loss."

Moreover, this man actually decided to go all the way to other cities in order to let her take care of him.

What is he still thinking about?
A certain possibility flashed through Ming Xi's mind, and she took a few steps back vigilantly, "Could it be that you and Ming Xiao jointly planned this incident?"

"It's so kind to be treated like a donkey by you!" Shen Tinglu's face turned cold.

Seeing that there was no abnormality in his expression, Ming Xi dispelled the thought in her heart.

After all, this man is very arrogant, and he really doesn't seem like someone who would do such despicable and shameless things.

"I happen to be going to City K to prepare for a project." The man put his hands in his trouser pockets and explained briefly.

Immediately, he looked at her impatiently, "If you are really unwilling, I won't force it, just treat me as if I had nothing to do today, and get stabbed for someone else in vain."

Xu Wen on the side listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Mr. Shen really used all means to stay by his side for Miss Mingxi. When had he ever seen Mr. Shen put on such an arrogant look in front of other people?

Ming Xi rubbed her chin, feeling guilty for a while.

She stared at Shen Tinglu carefully.

Shen Tinglu was also watching her secretly. After a while, he waved his hand and said coldly: "So you are just pretending, and I don't need your little reward. Let's go!"

Ming Xi gritted her teeth, and responded bravely: "I said that I am not a person who breaks promises. Since you are willing to go to K City, then I can also keep my promise to take care of you."

"Okay." Shen Tinglu looked at the butler in the corner, "Pack up your luggage."

Ming Xi was startled, and unexpectedly looked at him a few more times.

But she didn't rush to ask the doubts in her heart.

This man was deep in thought, no matter what his purpose was, she had to wait until they went back to K city together before she had the chance to investigate.

Ming Xi turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Tinglu didn't stop her either.

Since it was an agreed upon matter, he did not believe that Ming Xi would go back on his word.

After leaving the villa, Ming Xi refused Xu Wen's offer to pick her up, took a taxi by herself, and returned to the hospital.

She went to the bathroom of the hospital to wash briefly before returning to Ming's mother's ward.

"Xiao Xi, you're finally back!" Father Ming was walking around in a hurry in the corridor, when he saw her coming, his eyes immediately turned red.

Ming Xi sniffed, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and stepped forward with an embarrassed look, "Dad, today I'm self-willed, I want to relax outside by myself, that's why I didn't answer your calls."

In fact, when Father Ming called her, she was still falling into a deep coma because of being hit on the head by that villain.

But talking about that kind of thing will only add to the worries of the parents.

Father Ming thought about what happened to her during this period, and thought that Mingxi might really be in a bad mood, so he didn't ask any further questions, and patted her on the shoulder pitifully, "Just come back."

Back in the ward, because it was getting late, Ming Xi said goodnight to her parents, and then lay down on another hospital bed.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the images I encountered on the top of the mountain not long ago resurfaced in my mind one by one.

Ming Xiao, I didn't expect you to hate me so much that you wanted to take my life.

Hopefully one day, you can afford to do it all yourself!

On the other side, at a remote intersection, Ming Xiao made many calls to a number one after another, but the other party didn't answer for a long time.

After a long time, she tentatively called again, and this time the other party finally answered.

But the man didn't rush to speak, Ming Xiao's heart sank.
