“Zhenting, it seems like Mr. Jing is really good to my sister. He must love her a lot,” Shen Mei looked at Jing Chenxi, deliberately showing envy on her face. Throughout the entire evening, Jing Chenxi had devoted himself entirely to Shen Ning. He was busy attending to her every need, cutting the cake together with her, wiping her sweat, and fetching things for her – his care was evident.
Li Zhenting’s eyes grew dark like a deep abyss, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He casually asked, “What about your sister? Does she love him?”
“I think she must love him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t come out for dinner, especially in a place like this. Look around; every table has couples. It’s quite obvious. Besides, a man as outstanding and wealthy as Mr. Jing, which woman wouldn’t love him?” Shen Mei thought for a moment and carefully crafted her response.
Li Zhenting’s face darkened even more, an inexplicable anger simmering in his chest.
This woman was truly despicable. It was one thing to seduce adult men, but to target his five-year-old son as well – what kind of person was she to do such a thing?
Yide Resort’s parking lot.
“Mr. Jing, thank you for your warm hospitality tonight, and thank you for celebrating my birthday,” Jing Chenxi and Shen Ning stood at the exit. Shen Ning sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Originally, they had agreed that she would pay for dinner tonight, but Jing Chenxi insisted on covering the bill.
She had intended to stand her ground, but financial constraints and the fact that Jing Chenxi had custom-made the cake and flowers for her, which undoubtedly incurred significant expenses, made her realize that she couldn’t afford it for now.
“As long as you’re happy, it’s all worth it,” Jing Chenxi smiled.
Shen Ning checked her watch. “Mr. Jing, let’s end it here tonight. I’ll be on my way.”
She didn’t want to spend too much time alone with him in one place, fearing it might cause unnecessary trouble. After all, he had a fiancee. She thought that in the future, she should try to avoid meeting him whenever possible. As Li Zhenting had mentioned, he was not an ordinary man, and being seen with him frequently could easily lead to rumors, which wouldn’t be a good thing.
She turned to leave.
“Ning Ning.” Jing Chenxi had a bit of red wine tonight. He reached out and held Shen Ning’s hand, smiling. “Don’t go just yet. 1 have something to give you.”
He took out an exquisite jewelry box from his bag and handed it to her, saying, “This is my birthday gift for you. Open it and take a look.”
Shen Ning was startled when she saw the jewelry box. It was obviously quite valuable. Her smile vanished, and she immediately shook her head. “No, Mr. Jing, I can’t accept this. You’ve already been very generous tonight, and I can’t take more from you.”
She firmly returned the jewelry box to his hand and turned to leave.
She couldn’t linger here any longer; otherwise, it might lead to further misunderstandings.
“Ning Ning.” However, as she began to walk away, Jing Chenxi reached out and grabbed her arm from behind. He spoke sincerely, “Can’t you give me a chance? I love you.”
Shen Ning stood there, stunned.
“No, Mr. Jing, you’ve had too much to drink, and you’re acting too hastily. Please go back. I need to get home to take care of my child,” she said, gently removing his hand from her arm.
“Ning Ning, I’m not acting hastily. I’ve been waiting for you all these years,” Jing Chenxi’s eyes were slightly warm, filled with a painful longing. “For so many years, you haven’t given me a chance at all?”
Shen Ning pressed her lips together and replied earnestly, “Mr. Jing, you are a noble and wealthy scion of the Jing family, while I am just an ordinary divorced woman who has a child. It’s not fair to you, and I’m not worthy of your love. Miss Jiang Xinyun is the one who is most suitable for you. You should go find her..”
