"Just go do what you need, it's okay." Hearing the self-pity in Cheng Jingjing's tone, Mu Ningxi shook her head at her and said frankly.

Cheng Jingjing looked at Mu Ningxi and nodded slightly in response.

"Ning Xi, thank you so much today for spending money to buy so many things for me." Looking at the bags in her hands, Cheng Jingjing said gratefully to Mu Ningxi.

"What are you thanking me for? It's your cousin's money anyway. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank him, not me." Mu Ningxi smiled indifferently at Cheng Jingjing and told the truth.

"You are a legal couple, his money is your money. After all, I should thank you, my good cousin, for spending money on me. If my cousin married a woman who values ​​money above all else, he wouldn't be so kind."

Hearing Mu Ningxi say that, Cheng Jingjing joked.

"Even if they are husband and wife, they should still make clear the differences." Mu Ningxi, who has always been independent, does not agree with Cheng Jingjing's opinion.

Knowing that Mu Ningxi was serious about this issue, Cheng Jingjing didn't want to cause unhappiness between the two parties because of this issue, so she quickly changed the subject:

"Ning Xi, when does your cousin plan to take you back to meet your parents?"

"It should be soon. I heard that your uncle and aunt will be returning to Beijing soon." After hearing Cheng Jingjing talk about this, Mu Ningxi suddenly felt an invisible pressure sweeping towards her.

Mu Ningxi, who has always been invincible in the workplace, did not expect that she would be so worried about meeting her parents.

"Why do I feel like you're a little worried? Are you afraid that my uncle and aunt won't like you?" Cheng Jingjing heard her worry from Mu Ningxi's answer and asked hurriedly.

Mu Ningxi shook her head slightly and said frankly: "Not really, I really don't know their personalities, so I'm a little unsure."

In fact, after spending such a long time with Huo Beichen's father Huo Hongzhang, Mu Ningxi had a deep understanding of his character. As for Grandpa Huo, Mu Ningxi had also had several contacts with him before and knew that although he looked stern, he was easy to coax as long as he followed his wishes.

What Mu Ningxi is most worried about right now is Huo Beichen's mother. When Zheng Zihao had problems that time, Mu Ningxi had a brief contact with Huo's mother.

Although the other party looked amiable, based on Mu Ningxi's experience of interacting with people over the years, Huo's mother was the most difficult person to deal with in the Huo family.

Moreover, the other party seemed to be very dissatisfied with her background. With such a preconceived mother-in-law, it would obviously be a bit difficult for Mu Ningxi to change the other party's opinion of her.

Not wanting to explain too much about his previous relationship with Huo Hongzhang to Cheng Jingjing, Mu Ningxi did not reveal the fact that he had known Huo Hongzhang before.

"Ning Xi, my uncle and aunt are very nice people, you don't have to worry so much." Hearing Mu Ningxi's true words, Cheng Jingjing comforted her.

After a pause, Cheng Jingjing continued, "Besides, my cousin always does things his own way. As long as he has made up his mind, no one can easily change his decision. So, you only need to deal with your cousin, and you don't need to consider other people at all."

"Okay, then I will try my best to deal with your cousin and make him loyal to me." Mu Ningxi didn't want Cheng Jingjing to worry too much about their affairs, so she deliberately responded in a light tone.

Cheng Jingjing nodded and agreed: "Ning Xi, I support you."

Before they parted, Cheng Jingjing promised Mu Ningxi, "Ningxi, I will accompany you to choose gifts for your uncle and aunt before they come back."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with you before they come back." Knowing that Cheng Jingjing was thinking about her, Mu Ningxi readily agreed.

After the two of them discussed it, Cheng Jingjing left first.

After Cheng Jingjing left, Mu Ningxi saw that the new store in the square had opened, and she suddenly had an idea to call Huo Beichen.

Before making the call, Mu Ningxi was not very confident. She knew that Huo Beichen was always very busy, and he might not make time for such a last-minute appointment.

Unexpectedly, Huo Beichen would actually agree. In order to prevent Huo Beichen from changing his mind, Mu Ningxi lied to him that she had already booked a seat.

In order to avoid being exposed, Mu Ningxi hurriedly made a reservation for the new store online as soon as she hung up the phone with Huo Beichen.

Fortunately, Huo Beichen would not be here for a while. According to the time Mu Ningxi had booked, there were four tables of people lined up in front of them. By the time Huo Beichen arrived, it should be just the right time.

After separating from Mu Ningxi, Cheng Jingjing thought about it and called Zhao Yu.

Since she said she should be braver, she should take that step first.

"Jingjing, is there something you want to talk to me about?" The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Yu's slightly puzzled voice was heard.

If it were in the past, Cheng Jingjing would definitely get angry when she heard Zhao Yu ask this. After all, they were nominally an engaged couple. Couldn't she just call him if nothing happened?

After a conversation with Mu Ningxi today, Cheng Jingjing figured out a lot of things. Zhao Yu was a person with low emotional intelligence, so why should she demand so much from him?

As long as Zhao Yu was truly kind to her, Cheng Jingjing felt that there was no need for her to be so argumentative about some details.

If two people want to go together for a long time, they must give in to each other.

"I want to ask you, when can you get off work?" After calming down, Cheng Jingjing responded.

"I still have a report to write, which will probably take another hour." Zhao Yu answered honestly on the other end of the phone.

"It will take another hour." Cheng Jingjing was slightly disappointed when she heard Zhao Yu's answer.

"Jingjing, what's wrong?" Hearing Cheng Jingjing's disappointed tone, Zhao Yu asked on the other end of the phone.

"I originally wanted to invite you to have dinner together, but since your time is not suitable, forget it." It is almost 7 o'clock in the evening. Cheng Jingjing knows Zhao Yu's workaholic personality. Although he said it would only take an hour, he will definitely forget the time once he gets busy.

Not wanting to affect Zhao Yu's work, and also because she was a little hungry at this time, Cheng Jingjing could only change her previous thoughts.

"It's like this, Jingjing, where are you? I can come over to have dinner with you first, and then come back to write the report." Cheng Jingjing's active invitation made Zhao Yu a little flattered, and he quickly thought of a response.

This was the first time that Cheng Jingjing had taken the initiative to ask Zhao Yu out since she got engaged. How could Zhao Yu be willing to give up such a rare opportunity?

"Will that waste your time?" Zhao Yu's words moved Cheng Jingjing a little, but when she thought of his work, Cheng Jingjing felt a little troubled.

"Of course not, I know my limits." Not wanting to miss this rare opportunity, Zhao Yu quickly assured.

After hearing what Zhao Yu said, Cheng Jingjing happily reported her location.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Jingjing showed a happy smile on her face. Ning Xi was right. Zhao Yu is indeed someone I should cherish.

At this moment, Cheng Jingjing made up her mind to continue her relationship with Zhao Yu.

At the same time, Huo Beichen also rushed to where Mu Ningxi was.

Looking at Mu Ningxi who was sitting in the rest area drinking milk tea, Huo Beichen frowned slightly.

At this time, Mu Ningxi also saw Huo Beichen's figure. She stretched out her empty left hand and waved it in the direction of Huo Beichen.
