Sweet Wife Runs Away

A product of Expo Garden.

Xu Mushen sat at the dining table, looked at Ning Xi's usual sitting position with a sullen face, and did not speak for a while.

Xie Jin and Chu Lian didn't know what happened yet, and they wondered why Ning Xi wasn't there.

Ning Xi would have already arrived home at this time, sitting at the dining table and happily sharing what he saw and heard today with them.

When she is there, the atmosphere is never cold.

Of course, someone was also reluctant to give Ning Xi a chill!

But today, Ning Xi didn't come back, only the two of them, pitifully weak and helpless in this almost suffocating atmosphere.

The two of you poked me and you poked you, pushing and shoving for a long time, and finally chose Xie Jin as the representative to communicate with Xu Mushen.

Xie Jin asked cautiously: "Boss, is Ning Xi delayed by something, do you want to call and ask?"

The low air pressure around Xu Mushen was still circling, he thought that Ning Xi would come back a little later because he was so absorbed in chatting with Li Wei and the others.

He didn't want Ning Xi to feel that he was restraining her every move, so he thought about waiting.

When the time is up, Ning Xi will come back naturally, don't call to urge her.

It's just that she has delayed for too long, right?

Chu Lian saw the entanglement hidden in Xu Mushen's expressionless face, and passed him a step: "Ask, maybe you have encountered some problems and need our help?"

"Yeah." Xu Mu had a serious face, reluctantly took out his mobile phone, and prepared to call Ning Xi.

Then he froze.

He found a message from Ning Xi's unread letter on his phone.

【Brother Shen, I am going to invite Teacher Li and Wei Dongchen to dinner tonight, thank them for their help, I will not come back for dinner (little face.jpg). 】

The message was sent an hour ago.

He was busy with work at that time, so he didn't notice the news.

Xu Mu took back the phone with a dark face, and said in a tone that didn't seem to care: "No need to wait, she is going to have dinner with others tonight, so she won't come back for dinner. Serve the food."

An assortment of food quickly filled the dining table, most of which were what Ning Xi liked to eat.

It's a pity that the chef's hard work was in vain.

In the restaurant, it returned to the quietness of the past. Everyone ate their own food without communicating with each other.

Chu Lian and Xie Jin looked at each other, and they both saw discomfort in each other's eyes.

In the past, I didn't think there was any problem with eating quietly, but without Ning Xi's active atmosphere, I was really not used to being quiet suddenly, and my appetite has faded a lot.

Xu Mushen took two casual bites, then put down his chopsticks with a frown.

"Don't you want to eat more?" Xie Jin advised.

"No, I'm not hungry."

Xu Mushen turned around and went back to the study, leaving only Chu Lian and Xie Jin poking at the food on the plate, eating bit by bit, worried.

"If you don't eat at night, you will definitely have a stomachache in the middle of the night. What should I do?"

"Why don't you go to persuade me again?"

"Do you think the boss will listen to what we say?"

Both of them sighed in unison: "Hey, when will Ning Xi come back? She won't eat well when she's not in the boss."

It was after eight o'clock in the evening that Ning Xi came back with brisk steps.

As soon as she entered, she was surprised to find that Xie Jin was actually staying in the living room reading, not in her own room.

Seeing Ning Xi coming back, Xie Jin showed a rescued expression, and hurriedly said, "You're finally back."

"What's wrong?" Ning Xi was puzzled.

Xie Jin looked at Ning Xi with a sad face: "Boss didn't eat at night, he has a bad stomach, if he doesn't eat on time, he will have a stomachache."

Upon hearing this, Ning Xi became worried: "Ah? I'll go and see, by the way, is there anything to eat that I can take?"

She didn't even care about changing her clothes, and while talking, she was going to go to the study to find Xu Mushen.

Xie Jin quickly said: "Of course there is. The nourishing soup and so on have already been made, and they have been warming in the kitchen, waiting for the boss to eat."

In the blink of an eye, the tray was filled with food prepared for Xu Mushen, and brought to Ning Xi.

Xie Jin looked at Ning Xi expectantly: "It's up to you."

No matter how innocent Ning Xi was, at this time he also realized that Xie Jin had been waiting for her to come back, and then went to deliver food to Brother Shen.

She couldn't laugh or cry, she thought Xie Jin's appearance was very funny, as if it was such an arduous task to deliver food to Brother Shen.

Brother Shen with such a good temper is not as scary as Xie Jin imagined!

"What if Brother Shen doesn't eat it even if I send it over?"

"How is that possible?" Xie Jin said decisively, "You must be able to."

He clasped his hands together and made a begging gesture: "It's only you, Ning Xi, if even you can't do it, then no one can do it."

Ning Xi inexplicably felt a little hot on his face.

"Okay, I get it, I will try my best to persuade Brother Shen to eat well."

Xie Jin looked at Ning Xi's back, clenched his fists and shouted: "Success is only allowed, failure is not allowed."

"Know it."

At the door of the study, Ning Xi held the tray with one hand and knocked on the door lightly with the other.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Brother Shen?"

She held her breath, moved her ears to the door, and listened carefully for a while, but she didn't hear anything.

In the quiet study room, a needle can be heard clearly when it falls on the ground.

Xu Mushen was looking at the book in his hand casually. Although more than an hour had passed, the thick book in his hand did not turn many pages.

He used his self-control ability to prevent himself from imagining what Ning Xi was talking about with Li Wei and the others.

Suddenly, his hand stopped, and the voice outside the door faintly passed into his ears.

Xu Mu heard Ning Xi's voice deeply, but he didn't move. Instead, he turned another page of the book in his hand.

Outside the study, Ning Xi raised the volume and knocked harder on the door, but there was still no answer.

"Brother Shen? Are you in there? I'm Ning Xi, I'm back."

Ning Xi's voice is like an accompaniment with a healing effect.

In the study room, Xu Mushen's brows stretched out, his mood brightened, and the words that he couldn't read before became particularly pleasing to the eye. He waited for Ning Xi to continue to knock on the door.

Hmph, let her also taste what it's like to wait for someone, and see if she dares to leave him and go to a party with others in the future.

A certain big devil thought inexplicably arrogantly.

However, after waiting for a while, Xu Mushen suddenly felt something was wrong.

It was quiet outside the door, there was no sound at all.

Xu Mushen's face darkened in an instant: Heh, you just knocked on the door twice and left?Only so much patience?

There was an unknown fire in his heart, and he stood up quickly, but he stopped after taking a step, his face changed for a long time, and he sat back with a sullen face.

It should...be delayed by other things, right?

The antique clock "ticks" and "ticks" gently, every time it seems to knock on Xu Mushen's heart, reminding him of the passage of time.

There was still no movement at the door.

Xu Mushen's face sank like the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't read a single word of the book in his hand.

He got up again, the movement was so fast that the wind picked up his clothes.

Just as he was about to walk towards the door, the door of the study opened, and a figure walked in with a plate.

There was a sweet and lovely smile on the girl's pretty face, and her eyes were shining like stars, and she was looking at him intently.

The light yellow skirt on her body exudes warmth under the light.

It was Ning Xi.
