Chapter 435: Mutual Concern
Shen Muzhi immediately answered the phone, "Something happened." ”
Li Ning on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she should have asked Shen Muzhi.
"That's... It's me. Li Ning hesitated.
When he heard that it was Li Ning, Shen Muzhi was also stunned for a moment, but when he heard her voice didn't look like something was wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "How did you use this phone call." ”
Similarly, Li Ning also heard Shen Muzhi's voice on the phone unharmed, so he was relieved.
"I left my phone in my room and didn't bother to go upstairs to pick it up." Li Ning said incorrectly.
The housekeeper was still waiting worriedly, Li Ning smiled at him and said with his mouth: "It's okay." ”
Although he didn't know what happened just now, seeing Li Ning's smile and relief, the housekeeper didn't say anything more, nodded with a smile and left.
"I just saw that Mu Xing was a little strange, and his face was ugly, so I was a little worried... I'm worried about him, so I want to ask if you know what's going on. ”
Of course Shen Muzhi knew, but this matter was not suitable for Li Ning to know, so he paused for a moment and casually made an excuse.
"It's a branch business." Then he was afraid that Li Ning would be worried, so Shen Muzhi continued, "It's not a very important thing, you don't have to worry." ”
As soon as he heard that it was a business matter, Li Ning didn't ask any more questions, but said, "That's not a big deal." By the way, are you coming back tomorrow? I'm fine, I can pick you up. ”
"I still have some things to deal with here, and I may not be able to go back tomorrow." Shen Muzhi replied.
"Oh, that's right." Li Ning replied casually, and there was a sense of loss in her tone that she hadn't even noticed.
Shen Muzhi raised the corners of his lips silently, "It's not early, you rest early." ”
Li Ningyuan still wanted to speak, but when he heard the sound of someone else talking on Shen Muzhi's side, he thought that he might be busy, so it was not good to disturb him anymore.
"Okay, you can rest early, good night."
"Well, good night."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ning couldn't help but press the corners of his mouth, pulled his shoes a little listlessly, poured himself a glass of milk, didn't bother to heat it and drank it directly, and then silently washed the cup, and then walked upstairs with a shuffling footsteps.
Standing at the top of the stairs, she suddenly turned around and found that this huge villa was deserted. Although everything needed for daily life was available, and there was still a maid sleeping in the side room downstairs, Li Ning still had a sense of loneliness as if it was empty and empty.
After returning to the room, looking at the room that was no different from usual, Li Ning felt empty.
And only then did she realize that there would be such a big difference between one more or one less Shen Muzhi in the family.
At this time, Shen Muzhi would work alone in the study, and Li Ning was also like now, bored in the room alone, or holding the computer to check the email, or talking on the phone with friends.
But although he couldn't usually see Shen Muzhi, he knew that he was in the study a few rooms away, and even if he couldn't see it, he knew that there was such a person there.
Li Ning sat on the sofa and frowned, and then couldn't help but sigh, this feeling of emptiness made her a little unsure, whether it was because she liked to miss Shen Muzhi and couldn't leave Shen Muzhi, or because she was used to having that person by her side, and suddenly she would feel uncomfortable without it.
Li Ning thought for a while and felt that the latter was more likely. And this idea made her feel more comfortable, after all, habits can be changed, and one toy can be added with other toys if she is missing.
But once you are completely dependent on missing someone, your mind is no longer your own. Li Ning hated the feeling of not being able to control herself.
The next day, because he didn't have a good rest last night, Li Ning let himself sleep lazily, and didn't get up until noon, planning to have lunch and go to the hospital to have a look.
While Li Ning was eating, Zhou Sisi's phone called.
Li Ning thought that Zhou Sisi was going to ask her for dinner and afternoon tea again, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile: "Do you have any advice?" ”
But there was no light laughter that is characteristic of Zhou Sisi in the earpiece, but there was silence for a while.
Li Ning thought that the signal was cut off, and looked at the phone that was still displayed in the call, and she asked a little strangely: "Sisi?" ”
After a few more seconds of silence, Zhou Sisi's voice finally came, "Sister Ning, are you free?" ”
Zhou Sisi's voice was low, and his tone was a little depressed.
At that moment, Li Ning couldn't help but think of Shen Muxing's strange appearance last night, so he asked tentatively, "Why is your voice like this?" Is something wrong? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to see you." Zhou Sisi still said depressedly.
"I'm at home, or you tell me where you are, and I'll look for you."
"No need, I happen to be not far from the neighborhood, I'll look for you at your house later."
Without waiting for Li Ning to respond, Zhou Sisi hung up the phone first.
Li Ning held his mobile phone and thought, last night Shen Muzhi said that it was for the affairs of the branch, so Shen Muxing would be like that, but today Zhou Sisi is also so strange, it is difficult for people not to associate the two things.
But Li Ning didn't think too much, she just thought that at most it was just a little couple quarreling, and when Zhou Sisi came, she would persuade and guide her.
Zhou Sisi was indeed not far away, and he arrived in ten minutes.
Li Ning had been waiting in the living room, and when he saw her, he got up and took a few steps forward, and saw that Zhou Sisi looked a little listless, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"What's going on?" Li Ning stepped forward and shook Zhou Sisi's hand and asked with concern.
Zhou Sisi didn't speak, only pulled Li Ning to the balcony, "Sister Ning, let's go sit there for a while." ”
The balcony on the first floor is actually a glass house, which was originally empty, but after Li Ning moved over, he liked the sunshine and the scenery of the courtyard, so he arranged the balcony, and now it has become a place for several sisters to gather and whisper.
And Zhou Sisi dragged Li Ning there, and Li Ning knew that there must be something he didn't want to be heard by the housekeeper and maid.
Entering the glass room, Li Ning casually closed the door, and after the two sat down, Li Ning immediately asked; "Sisi, what's going on? Did you quarrel with Mu Xing? ”
Zhou Sisi's eyes drooped slightly, and she didn't respond when she heard the words, that look made Li Ning unable to see whether she was thinking about things or acquiescing to Li Ning's words.
"If it's Mu Xing bullying you, you tell me immediately, I'll help you teach him a lesson, I can't do it and Mu Zhi, we are all towards you." Li Ning shook Zhou Sisi's hand lightly and said with good words.
There was silence for a moment, but Zhou Sisi shook his head, "We didn't quarrel." ”
"Didn't quarrel?" Li Ning didn't understand it even more.
