Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 323 Want to Take You Out Traveling (2)
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxing’s expression remained unchanged. He silently closed the notebook and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
However, the calmer Shen Lingxing’s reaction, the more guilty Mi Jing felt, thinking this was likely the calm before the storm. She hurriedly explained, "You... don’t misunderstand, this diary, I haven’t looked at it in years. I took it out today intending to burn it, but when I got to the top of Lion Mountain, it was too dark. There was no one there except Ruanruan and me, so I panicked and rushed back without... without having the chance to burn it." She paused for a moment at the last sentence, nervously eyeing Shen Lingxing, worried he wouldn’t believe her.
"I didn’t misunderstand." After patiently listening to Mi Jing’s explanation, Shen Lingxing suddenly reached out and pulled her close, speaking in a calm tone.
Didn’t misunderstand?
Startled, Mi Jing lifted her head in surprise, looking at Shen Lingxing’s profile. Without thinking, she blurted out, "This is the diary I wrote when I was with Han Xiujie."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Mi Jing’s eyes widened in shock, secretly lamenting her quick tongue for saying such an inappropriate thing.
But Shen Lingxing’s reaction remained impassive. "I know," he said calmly.
He knows?
Mi Jing could hardly believe her ears, feeling uneasy and exposed, she asked cautiously, "How did you know?!"
"I saw. The drawings in it aren’t of me."
"I..." Mi Jing was rendered speechless. Hearing Shen Lingxing’s reply, she suddenly realized she had asked a foolish question.
The once sweet atmosphere gradually changed. Amid the silence, Mi Jing desperately wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, she felt like there were pins and needles in her seat, and she was incredibly uncomfortable.
"Are you free next week?"
"It’s all in the past, I..."
After a brief silence, they both spoke at the same time. As their eyes met, Mi Jing swallowed the rest of her words.
"Since it’s in the past, don’t worry, I won’t mind." Noticing Mi Jing’s tension, Shen Lingxing’s voice softened, showing understanding. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
In fact, he hadn’t intended to pry into Mi Jing’s privacy. When the diary fell to the ground, he was attracted by the drawings and picked it up, only to belatedly realize it documented her past with someone else.
It’s impossible to say he didn’t care, but he truly didn’t mind. After all, they were both adults and having had one or two relationships before meeting each other was entirely normal.
Upon hearing this, Mi Jing immediately relaxed, gave Shen Lingxing a joyful look, then hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder. Breathing in his pleasant scent, she felt an indescribable sense of security.
She knew he wasn’t a petty person. Maybe it was because she cared too much that she would involuntarily become overly nervous, worried he would be unhappy, worried he would hold a grudge...
"Do you have any plans? I can close the shop next week." After a while of silence, Mi Jing lazily spoke, already thinking of taking time off work.
"I want to take you on a trip," Shen Lingxing said, looking down at Mi Jing.
A trip?
Mi Jing looked up in surprise, gazing at Shen Lingxing with eyes sparkling with joy.
"Where do you want to go?" Shen Lingxing was pleased with Mi Jing’s reaction, his gaze becoming tender and beautiful as he asked with a faint smile.
"Where I want to go..." Mi Jing murmured to herself, her mind quickly spinning. The next moment, beautiful images flashed through her mind one by one.
"I have many places I want to go. I want to see the snow in Snow Village, the aurora in Antarctica. As long as it’s a place with beautiful scenery, I want to go." Mi Jing fell into a pleasant reverie. As she spoke, her bright, dark eyes seemed to be talking too, expressing her joy and anticipation, her gaze lively and charming.
"Choose one place you want to go the most. We’ll find time to visit the other places later." Shen Lingxing gazed intently into Mi Jing’s eyes, his dedicated look filled with unmistakable affection.
"There’s no one place I want to go the most." Mi Jing hooked her arms around Shen Lingxing’s neck and smiled. "As long as you’re with me, it doesn’t matter where we go."
"Then how about I accompany you upstairs now?" Shen Lingxing curled his lips into an ambiguous smile.
Hearing this, Mi Jing immediately put on a serious face, glaring at Shen Lingxing, "Can you not be such a killjoy? Can’t you think of something else?"
"Right now, I’m only thinking about you, no time for anything else."
"Hmph, smooth-talker." Mi Jing huffed, then said, "Weren’t you hungry? I’ll cook for you."
As she spoke, Mi Jing made to get up, but Shen Lingxing pulled her back. Then a sexy voice floated to her ear, "Nothing can quell my hunger better than you."
Suddenly, Mi Jing’s mouth twitched, pretending to be pitiful. "I haven’t had dinner yet. Would you really let me go hungry?"
"You haven’t had dinner, yet you went off wandering on Lion Mountain?" Shen Lingxing frowned slightly, a bit reproachfully.
"Ahem—"
Mi Jing coughed, thinking she could hardly be any dumber, having accidentally given herself away.
"I did eat something." Mi Jing suppressed her guilty feelings and asked with feigned righteousness, "What about you? Did you have dinner?"
"..."
Shen Lingxing pressed his lips together without answering, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Hmph, now you have no grounds to blame me, huh?
Mi Jing looked at Shen Lingxing’s back and raised her eyebrows proudly.
"What do you want to eat?"
Suddenly, Shen Lingxing turned around. Mi Jing didn’t have time to react, and her proud expression froze on her face.
"Whatever you want," she laughed awkwardly after a second or two, her stiff facial muscles finally relaxing. "I’ll eat whatever you want."
"Your smile’s quite unattractive."
Un... unattractive?
Hearing this, Mi Jing felt a chill run through her, wishing she could immediately find a mirror to check her appearance, her earlier smugness completely gone.
Is it really unattractive?
Mi Jing took out her phone, using the selfie camera as a mirror to examine her smile, studying it intently and carefully, not noticing the smile forming on Shen Lingxing’s lips.
Sigh, whatever. Unattractive it is!
After scrutinizing herself for a while, Mi Jing put down her phone, sighed a little in resignation, and then turned her head towards the kitchen, shouting, "Do you need help?"
