Sweet Wife Runs Away

Ning Xi looked at Xu Mushen, who was in a daze, in doubt, and called out in doubt: "Brother Shen?"

Xu Mu came back to his senses, and said slowly: "Xixi, not everyone's appearance is real. In this world, everyone lives with a mask. Under the mask is a smiling face or a crying face, only He knows it himself."

Just like himself, Ning Xi still doesn't know why he treats her so well.

In front of Ning Xi, he was wearing a mask.

"So, because of the mask, maybe your impression of a person is wrong from the beginning. What you see is just what he wants you to see."

Just like him, he is not as good as Ning Xi thought.

"But these are not terrible. As time goes by, you will discover the truth behind these things little by little. At that time, if you are prepared and face these bravely, then the truth will not hurt you."

If one day, you find that I am different from what you imagined, I hope you can face it all.

Ning Xi seemed to understand, but Xu Mu's deep voice reassured her a lot: "Brother Shen, you will stay with me, right?"

Xu Mu lowered his eyes deeply, hiding all his emotions: "Of course, silly girl, I won't leave you alone."

Ning Xi finally showed a faint smile on his face.

"Brother Shen, don't worry, I'm not that fragile, and tomorrow I will be as full of energy as before."

Finally, the icy atmosphere in the car disappeared, bringing a layer of warmth.

The driver who had been driving carefully in front and didn't dare to make any noise couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and showed a faint smile.

Go home.

As soon as Ning Xi put on her indoor slippers and was about to go upstairs, Xie Jin, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to her, with flattering smiles all over her face blocking their way.

Just when he was about to say something, he could tell at a glance that Ning Xi had cried before, and his heart ached.

He thought that Ning Xi was sad because of the two designers at the dinner party, so he changed his mind and said with a smile: "Ning Xi, I haven't congratulated you for winning the award yet, congratulations! I knew you could do it, everyone in the audience It’s your performance that stands out the most, if you have any gift you want, tell me, and I’ll give it to you.”

Xie Jin would not say that he was a little worried that those two designers had caused Ning Xi trauma, so he wanted to make up for it with a gift.

Seeing the familiar smiling face, Ning Xi's mood was infected, and he smiled brightly: "Thank you, you went to the scene to support me, this is the best gift."

Seeing that Ning Xi didn't seem to be affected by what happened at the dinner party, Xie Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and dared to bring up his own affairs.

And Ning Xi's answer made him regret his previous carelessness even more.

Xie Jin looked at Xu Mushen carefully and said: "Well, boss, I have already realized my mistake deeply. I shouldn't take chances and get my soul taken away by other girls and delay my business."

Ning Xi looked at this scene blankly: "What? Did something happen?"

Xie Jin wanted to explain: "It's like this, Chu Lian and I were both..." The boss arranged the task of protecting you at the dinner party.

Xu Mushen spoke quickly and interrupted Xie Jin: "You have lost your bonus this month."

"Really? Thank you BOSS." Xie Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't intend to continue with the second half of the sentence.

He originally thought that his bonus this year would be wasted!

Sure enough, Chu Lian was right, the boss is a deadly tsundere, caring about others and dare not let others know, it is not in vain for him to deliberately pick a boss to admit his mistakes when Ning Xi is around.

"Go to bed early, don't stay up late."

Xie Jin waved to Ning Xi, and left happily, ready to tell Chu Lian the good news.

Only Ning Xi stood there with a questioning face, and told her intuitively that what Xie Jin said just now had something to do with her.

"Brother Shen, is something wrong? Does it matter?"

Of course Xu Mushen would not honestly confess what he did secretly, and said casually: "It's just a little thing, let him have a long memory."

"Oh." Ning Xi nodded, thinking that it involved company secrets, she didn't ask.

Just when the atmosphere was relaxing, Ning Xi's cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was Xue Zijin calling.

Seeing that name, Xu Mushen instinctively wanted Ning Xi to refuse, but then he realized that he did not have the right to do this.

His brows furrowed unconsciously, feeling a little off.

Xu Mushen said lightly, "I'll go upstairs first."

Ning Xi was somewhat absent-minded: "Hmm."

Xu Mushen's mood suddenly became more depressed, his cold eyes swept over Ning Xi's slightly dazed face, his lips were pursed, and his face was calm.

In the living room, only Ning Xi was left alone.

Ning Xi looked at the phone in a daze, thinking of what happened that night, her heart felt sour, and she even felt an urge not to answer the phone.

When she saw brother Zijin call before, she had never felt such emotions...

But then, Ning Xi had another thought: Maybe Brother Zijin felt that he was too harsh on her at night, so he called to apologize?

Thinking about it this way, Ning Xi's mood improved a lot, and she looked forward to the phone call a little more.

However, this thinking time wasted a bit, and Ning Xi answered the phone a lot slower than usual.

On the other end of the phone, Xue Zijin's voice was slightly displeased: "Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"

The smile on Ning Xi's face gradually froze.

Xue Zijin didn't wait for Ning Xi's answer, but continued: "Xixi, your behavior today disappointed me so much, why are you so ignorant?"

"Your sister apologized to you, but it's fine if you don't accept it, but you still want to beat her!"

"I asked you to apologize, but you refused... When did you become like this, I almost don't recognize you!"

Holding the phone, Ning Xi felt cold all over her body, and her naive guess before was just a joke.

"Did you come to me just to say that?" She tried to keep her voice calm.

Xue Zijin frowned, becoming more and more dissatisfied with Ning Xi's attitude: "Otherwise, Xi..."

Ning Xi felt that if she continued to listen, the tears that had been so hard to stop might be shed again.

"Beep, beep, beep."

Before Xue Zijin could say a word, he heard the sound of the phone being hung up.

Ning Xi stood there blankly, only feeling that his heart was empty and a big piece was missing.

Chu Lian, who went downstairs to get snacks, saw Ning Xi standing there alone, as if he had lost his soul, frowned and asked in concern, "Ning Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Ning Xi quickly put on a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of something, so I'm in a daze."

She was worried about staying in the living room and being seen as strange, so she forced herself to go back to the bedroom.

After thinking about it, Chu Lian was still a little worried about Ning Xi's situation, so she turned around and reported to Xu Mushen what she had just seen.

Xu Mu looked down at the book in his hand, tapping his fingers lightly on the spine of the book.

After a long while, she snorted softly, "Don't worry about her."

His tone was light and he didn't seem to care.

Chu Lian felt a chill run down his back, and goosebumps stood up.

He backed out quietly.

The door of the study closed with a slight "click".

Xu Mushen rested his fingers on the spine of the book, replaying Chu Lian's words just now in his mind.

Ning Xi was sad...was it because he received a call from Xue Zijin?

He squinted his eyes, and an inexplicable depression kept circling in his heart, but he had no outlet to vent. He could only lower his eyes and stare at the book in his hand.

It's just that, for a long time, I couldn't turn a page...
