Only then did Shen Tinglu look at the phone screen that lit up with the ringtone of the call. When he saw the name of the caller, the smile on his lips disappeared instantly.

Ming Xi also became serious, and asked him worriedly: "Did something happen to the company?"

"It's Zhang Yuanyuan." Shen Tinglu responded without hesitation.

Hearing this name, the expression on Ming Xi's face froze instantly.

She can still clearly remember the uncomfortable feeling in her heart when she saw the intimate news of Zhang Yuanyuan and Shen Tinglu that was exposed.

Shen Tinglu was thinking about other things, hesitated for a moment, and then went to the balcony to answer the call.

"Brother Tinglu!" Zhang Yuanyuan's slightly excited voice came over.

Thinking of what she had done to Mingxi, Shen Tinglu's eyes shot out a cold light, but thinking of his own plan, he could only ask patiently: "What's the matter?"

"Do you have time tomorrow night? I want to invite you to dinner, and I have something important to tell you."

"Tomorrow night?" Shen Tinglu looked back at Mingxi, and saw the little woman sitting on the sofa with a depressed face, as if she was slightly dissatisfied with him talking on the phone with Zhang Yuanyuan.

Instead, there was a smile on the corner of his lips, and Zhang Yuanyuan's voice came from next to his ear: "If you don't have time, we can also choose another day..."

Zhang Yuanyuan was afraid that he would refuse, so she had no choice but to make the best of it.

Shen Tinglu came back to his senses and narrowed his eyes.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Yuanyuan was looking for him in such a hurry, he also knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

However, after spending so much time on Zhang Yuanyuan, he should find a suitable time to get rid of this annoying woman!

"Tomorrow night is fine." Only then did Shen Tinglu suppress his disgust.

"Really? That's great!" Zhang Yuanyuan had already constructed a blueprint for tomorrow night's happiness in her mind, and responded happily.

But the man didn't give her another chance to speak, so he cut off the call directly.

Zhang Yuanyuan smiled when she heard the beeping busy tone from her mobile phone, but she didn't pay much attention to that man because she had always been like this.

She quickly told Ming Xiao the news.

After receiving the good news from Zhang Yuanyuan, the haze on Mingxiao's face was finally dispelled.

She believed that tomorrow night would be a good day for her to get Shen Tinglu!

When Shen Tinglu returned to the living room, Ming Xi got up immediately, but obviously avoided his sight, turned around and began to tidy up the things on the sofa.

"Do you need help?" He walked over and wrapped her around her in front of him from behind.

"No need." Ming Xi's voice was a little cold.

The act of Shen Tinglu carrying her to the balcony to chat with Zhang Yuanyuan on the phone just now made her think of the intimate scenes she had witnessed between Shen Tinglu and Ming Xiao.

She also wanted to forget herself, but the wounds that had already scabbed were easily pried open because of such a small action of his, which made her feel the feeling of her heart being riddled with wounds.

Shen Tinglu obviously heard something wrong with her voice, turned her body around, and let the little woman face him.

He leaned over and carefully studied the expression on Ming Xi's face, just when Ming Xi was about to push him away, he grabbed her hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "It seems that you are also jealous?"

Ming Xi didn't respond to his words, but stared at him with distant eyes.

Her silence made him flustered.

Only then did Shen Tinglu realize that she was not just making a fuss, but was really angry.

He held her in his arms without hesitation, and whispered softly: "Are you angry because I answered Zhang Yuanyuan's call?"

Ming Xi felt the temperature from his body, and the coldness in her heart seemed to be slowly melting away.

Her hands hang down feebly, a little annoyed that she was so easily subdued by his tenderness.

Smelling the clean and fresh breath on his body, Ming Xi finally compromised and stretched out her hands to wrap around his waist.

She leaned her head against the man's chest, and finally responded to his words: "I really, really care."

Shen Tinglu paused as he hugged her, a surge of joy erupted in his heart for no reason.

He loosened the little woman slightly, and kissed her hard on the face.

Ming Xi's face was still a little uncomfortable, she pushed him away, and muttered: "So should you explain it to me?"

After speaking, she began to feel uneasy.

Although in her opinion, lovers should be honest with each other.

But in the final analysis, this is only her own idea, if Shen Tinglu doesn't agree with her -

Ming Xi lowered her eyes, and quickly made a decision in her heart.

She is indeed very greedy for Shen Tinglu's kindness to her during this time, but if the price of this kindness is that she needs to allow other women to share this man with her, then she would rather not!
Seeing her face becoming more and more resolute, Shen Tinglu had a bad feeling.

He raised his hand and flicked her forehead with his knuckles.

A sense of pain struck, Ming Xi clutched her forehead, like a kitten with blown fur, glared at him complainingly, "Shen, Ting, Lu!"

"You misunderstood." The man chuckled and touched her head, "Me and her will end soon."

Ming Xi frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I have been in contact with her all this time because of you." Shen Tinglu took her hand away from her forehead, and gently kissed her forehead with her thin lips.

"For me?" Ming Xi's expression was even more puzzled.

She doesn't remember that she got rid of Shen Tinglu to get entangled with that woman.

"Have you forgotten what Zhang Yuanyuan did to you?" Shen Tinglu pulled her to sit down on the sofa, thinking of the sinister scene at the beginning, his face became gloomy, "Since she dared to let someone beat her hard, I will never forgive her easily."

Ming Xi was silent for a while, and gradually understood, "So you have already thought of a way to deal with her, and getting close to her during this period is also part of your plan?"

"Yes."

The man had just briefly responded with two words, Ming Xi's heart immediately softened, and her voice was filled with self-blame: "I misunderstood you."

Shen Tinglu smiled, "It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly to you first."

Hearing his indifferent tone, Ming Xi buried her face even lower.

Obviously everything he did was for her benefit, yet she doubted him so much, Ming Xi felt ashamed.

"Mingxi." Shen Tinglu leaned lazily on the sofa, pulled her into his arms, hugged her and said seriously, "I know everything about the past, and you can't forget it for a long time. But it doesn't matter, I will talk about it bit by bit Let you adapt to what I should treat you well."

Ming Xi's heart suddenly became soft again, and she raised her eyes to look at the man. In an instant, she seemed to see the scene of her first acquaintance with him many years ago.

At that time, she was still in her junior year, and she was taken to a business dinner by her parents, and at that banquet, she saw him radiating light all over his body.

From then on, she yearned for him, and she couldn't forget it for a long time.

Later, the Shen family encountered a business crisis. In order to find a solution, Shen's mother secretly promised her parents that Shen Tinglu would marry her.

And her parents also kept their promise, and on the day of Mingxi and Shen Tinglu's wedding, they injected a large amount of funds into the Shen family, allowing the Shen family to escape disaster.

But Shen Tinglu has an arrogant temperament, and this marriage was arranged by his mother alone. If his mother hadn't threatened her own life, Shen Tinglu would definitely not let go of her body and force Mingxi to marry him...

"What are you thinking?" Shen Tinglu asked her curiously when she saw that she was absent-minded for a long time.

Ming Xi withdrew from her thoughts, blinked her eyes, and said tentatively: "If you don't tell me, explain to me what happened between you and Ming Xiao."

Although those are in the past, they have also become a hurdle in her heart that she can't get over for a long time.

What's more, one month after she and Shen Tinglu got married, Ming Xiao regarded herself as Shen Tinglu's woman, always occupying the position that should belong to her.

If this matter is not asked clearly, the knot in her heart is destined to never be untied for the rest of her life.

It was only then that Shen Tinglu remembered his promise in the mall, and explained casually: "At the beginning, I was dissatisfied with my mother threatening me to marry you, plus Mingxiao revealed her thoughts to me intentionally or unintentionally, so I went along with the flow and deliberately let She made a gesture of intimacy with me in front of you, and she wanted to take revenge on you."

After finishing speaking, he pinched the center of his brows and sighed deeply, "Actually, in my opinion, that was just a joke of mine, but now that I think about it, I did go too far."

At that time, he was young and frivolous, and mistakenly thought that this would make Mingxi back down, but he did not expect that his unintentional actions would leave such a big trauma in her heart.

Hearing this, Ming Xi froze and stared at him incredulously, "Is... just that?"

Shen Tinglu raised his eyebrows, "Could it be, do you think I really like Mingxiao? Heh——she did sneak up on my bed several times, but I kicked her out. It's just that I was still worried about that at the time. I was quite dissatisfied with this marriage, so I didn't expose the illusion that she was domineering in front of you."

After a long time, Ming Xi finally recovered from his explanation, raised her hand and slammed him hard a few times.

"Hiss—" Shen Tinglu clutched his heart, pretending to be weak.

"Stop pretending, do you know how sad it has made me these past few years!" Ming Xi's hands on him became weaker and weaker, but her voice was crying, and tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes fell down.

Only then did Shen Tinglu realize her seriousness, and quickly wiped away her tears, and said softly: "It's all my fault. At that time, I was only concerned about venting my dissatisfaction, but I was completely concerned about your innocence."

Ming Xi was hugged in front of him, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many years broke out at this moment.

She cried a lot, and after an unknown amount of time, she gradually stopped.

Shen Tinglu also wanted to let her vent, but seeing that her eyes were already red and swollen, she couldn't help but said domineeringly: "Don't cry anymore."
