I didn't say anything. Silence was probably the best response I could think of.
"The new year is coming soon. Have you thought about how to live it?" Fu Jing asked me.
I tugged at the corner of my mouth. "It has nothing to do with you how I live. Fu Boss is tired enough to worry about getting married, and he has the heart to ask me. It really flatters me."
"When I get married, you have to come." He whispered in my ear, and the heat of his breath sprayed over my ears, making half of my body numb.
I didn't answer him. As soon as he let go, I got up from his lap and left.
I touched the gauze on my chin and thought about what he had just said. There was only one thing I wanted to say in my heart: Fu Jing is not sick, is he?
After work at night, I naturally stayed behind to work overtime. Jiang Miao called to take care of me. When he heard that I was working overtime, he insisted on treating me to dinner. I didn't really want to go home, so I promised him.
Jiang Miao liked to be ostentatious and cheat on his taste. This time, he chose a proper chinese restaurant and ordered light vegetarian dishes.
"I'm telling you, you can't touch soy sauce. Otherwise, the wound will leave a scar. It's so big that it's ugly."
I looked at him speechlessly. "It's not that you're ugly. What are you worrying about?"
He picked up his chopsticks and was about to throw them at me. I dodged tactfully. "Chen Qing, you're kicking your nose and your face now. Don't say anything just because I like you. I tell you, your master miao only likes to listen well."
I nodded, pretending to understand. When he spoke to me again, I only said three words - nice.
Jiang Miao was so angry that he couldn't speak, but I was in an inexplicable good mood.
"I won't tease you. Thank you for yesterday. If you hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't have known what would have happened to my house. I might have had more than one scar on my face." I toasted him with tea instead of wine.
"Come on, you owe me one. I owe you one. It's not clear. I don't think so. You got it from me." He flirted with me.
The corner of my mouth twitched. "Thank you for the compliment. I've been blind all by myself."
Jiang Miao pursed his lips, probably not bothering to talk to me. He was eating and didn't talk much to me. After dinner, he asked me to go for a drive, so I followed his car out.
"Hai Tang didn't get anything good from you this time. I don't think she'll let you off. She'll soon become the young lady of the Fu family. Chen Qing, if you don't find a backer, you'll probably become a fish on the chopping block."
I knew what he was saying, and I turned to look at him. "You want me to get on your pirate ship and let you protect me from being bullied?"
"Uh-huh, I'll do it several times at a time like this. I'll be handsome and rich. At least Hai Tang won't touch you after you follow me. If such a good thing falls on my head, I'll cry with happiness."
I chuckled. "Young master Jiang, you've known me for so long. You should know who I am, Chen Qing. Let's not make such jokes anymore."
Jiang Miao looked at me for a long time. The car turned around and drove in my direction. When I got home, I got out of the car.
"Chen Qing, give me a hug. You've been through a lot alone." Jiang Miao also got out of the car.
I took him for a joke. After a few steps, I turned around and hugged him, patting him on the back. "Thank you for understanding me."
In fact, I wanted to say, thank you for seeing through my bravado and weakness and giving me a hug, but I always felt that it was too pretentious for me.
After parting with Jiang Miao, I went upstairs and took out the key to open the door. There was not a trace of popularity in the empty room. The door of Ning Jing's room was tightly closed. I sighed and changed my shoes to hang my bag.
I went back to my room, made a random bed and fell asleep.
The next day, when I got up, I went to make breakfast for myself and realized that the lunch I left on the table yesterday, Ning Jing didn't move at all. I knocked on her door and no one answered. I pulled down the doorknob and pushed the door open?
When I opened her door, I realized that Ning Jing had moved away. The bedroom that she had just set up two days ago was now only left with cupboards and beds. There was no trace of life.
I panicked and went to get my cell phone to call Ning Jing. After several calls, my phone was turned off. Seeing that it was time to go to work, I had to change my clothes and rush to work.
I called her the next day, but her phone was turned off, and I sent her wechat, buttoned it, and even private messages on weibo without any response!
I grew more and more worried, not that she was angry with me, but that she was in danger. If Hai Tang were to vent his anger on her because of me, I would really regret it to death!
I didn't go home at night, but sat in my office and took the initiative to work overtime. After calling Ning Jing more than a hundred times, Fu Jing sent me a wechat message that shocked me.
He said he found the ring.
I wanted to ask him how he found it, but I held back. Needless to say, Hai Tang's men must have taken it away quietly. Hai Tang found another reason to take out the ring in order to hold the wedding successfully.
I misunderstood Ning Jing!
How could I doubt her?! She's the best person to me other than my sister. How can I...
I called Jiang Miao. "Young master Jiang, I had a problem with Ning Jing. She moved away from me and I still can't find her. You know a lot of people. Can you help me find her?"
"Don't worry. Give me her phone number and id number. If she moves out of your house, she will stay at a hotel first. I'll get someone to check it out for you."
Jiang Miao's words gave me an epiphany. I immediately sent Ning Jing's message to him. In a short while, he found the hotel where Ning Jing was staying.
I packed up my desk and drove to Ning Jing. Jiang Miao offered to come with me.
Jiang Miao and I arrived at the hotel almost at the same time and found Ning Jing's room. I knocked on the door and Ning Jing asked who was inside. I said it was me.
"I don't want to see you now. Don't you have points in your heart?" Her tone was very aggressive.
I knew her temper and wasn't angry at all. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. I know it was all my fault. You can scold me if you want to. You can hit me if you want to. Don't leave without saying anything. Do you know I'm worried about you?"
My nose ached as I spoke.
"You never believed me! You go. I don't want to see you at all." Ning Jing roared.
I had red eyes and wanted to beg her to forgive me. Jiang Miao pulled me aside and slammed the door a few times. "Ning Jing, do you have a conscience? After all the trouble you've caused yourself, which one of them wasn't solved by Chen Qing? They let you live in their own house without saying a word. Besides your parents, is there only chen qingneng left in this world? You don't know how old you are when you run away from home after a little mishap?"
