Chapter 357 Sagittarius
Ding Qianlie was nearly ashamed to death and roared inwardly. “You are an idiot. I was pretending to sleep, and you should have just hurriedly woken up and pretended nothing had happened, and that would have been right, but now it is so embarra.s.sing to face each other.
“What should I do? What should I do? Now I only have to continue pretending to sleep. If he is wise, he won’t expose me. We just pretend nothing has happened, and we won’t feel embarra.s.sed anymore.”
But she never expected that Ding Ning was stubborn and must apologize for what he did wrong. Yet, he did not know what Ding Qianlie was thinking and summoned up his courage to say, “Sister, I know you are awake. I didn’t do this on purpose. I was sleeping, had an unclear mind, and thought you were another person.”
“Another person? Who?”
Ding Qianlie could not pretend anymore and felt inexplicably jealous. “You are a b*stard and even thought that I was another woman. I can’t tolerate this.” She suddenly opened her eyes, glared at him, and asked.
“Uh, my girlfriend. I did not do it on purpose. Sister, don’t be angry.”
Ding Ning blushed and entreated piteously.
When she saw that he looked like a child who did something wrong and felt anxious, Ding Qianlie didn’t feel angry anymore but accused herself silently, “Ding Qianlie, Ding Qianlie, don’t you know this guy has a girlfriend? Why should you feel jealous? But this guy looks very cute now, and making fun of him seems interesting.”
Ding Ning got a mischievous idea, blinked her beautiful eyes, gave a charming smile, and asked flirtatiously, “Brother, are mine big?”
“Big… uh, no… big… I don’t know, either.”
Ding Ning was surprised to hear the question, blushed, and tried to avert her eyes. Saying big was not suitable, and saying small was not suitable, either. That was a f*cking question. He was so embarra.s.sed that he nearly cried.
“You don’t know?”
Seeing his embarra.s.sment, Ding Qianlie gave a more charming smile, leaned more closely against his chest, and said seductively, “Do you want to touch them again and check the size for me?”
“Sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me!”
Ding Ning knew that Ding Qianlie was teasing him, and so he entreated sadly.
“Come on, little lecher, don’t act like a poor guy anymore.”
Seeing his poor look, Ding Qianlie could not harden her heart to tease him anymore and pinched his waist unhappily.
“Sister, you are not angry with me anymore?”
Ding Ning asked gingerly, with an expression that was nervous, upset, and also a little panicky.
Ding Qianlie pursed her lips and said with a wordless expression, “Do you want me to be angry with you or not?”
“Of course, not.”
Ding Ning knew what was correct and showed his att.i.tude hurriedly.
“So, I am not angry with you, but you don’t seem to have enough of it. Will you be happy if I become angry?”
Ding Qianlie looked at her with a faint smile and suddenly had a very good mood. “This guy is really cute.”
“Of course, not… not, I just didn’t think you would forgive me so easily.”
Ding Ning scratched his head and grinned with embarra.s.sment.
“Little idiot, I am your sister. It’s not a big deal for you to touch me a few times.”
What Ding Qianlie said without careful thinking even stunned herself, and her snowy face turned red immediately.
When she saw Ding Ning’s shocked eyes, she explained in an extremely awkward manner, “What I mean is that although our mother has not been living with you since you were young, you also tasted our mother’s breastmilk. I am your elder sister, an elder sister is like a mother, and you should treat me as our mother… right, that’s it. Cough, cough, it is late now, and I need to go to work.”
Ding Qianlie’s heart was pounding heavily, and she roughly explained the thing illogically. With two coughs, she was ready to get up and run away.
A big hand suddenly caught her arm, and Ding Ning’s trembling voice came. “Sister, you said I drank our mother’s breastmilk when I was young. Does it mean that our mother did not leave me just after she gave birth to me? Then, how old was I when she left me?”
Ding Qianlie turned stiff, drooped her eyelids, and said, “I just heard our mother say that she once fed you with her milk, but I don’t know how old you were when she left you.”
“Oh!”
Ding Ning felt a little disappointed, released her arm, and mumbled, “She must have left me when I was very young, or I should have some memories about her.”
Ding Qianlie took a thoughtful look at him, but her look was so complicated that it was hard to guess its meaning. “As long as you are well, I will feel at ease. I’m going to work.”
“Wait, sister, this is for you.”
Ding Ning called her hurriedly, took out two red coral jade ornaments like a juggler, and handed them to her.
Ding Qianlie had no time to think where he hid the red corals. “When I sent him to the hospital and put on the patient’s clothes for him, I did not find any jade ornaments from his pockets.”
She was fully attracted by the red coral jade ornaments: a blood red bracelet and a pendant.
On the bracelet were carved two lifelike fish. At first glance, all her attention was drawn as if the two fish had become alive, swimming on the bracelet.
On the pendant was the Sagittarius zodiac sign, with a man’s head and a horse’s torso, a pair of wings, and a bow in hand. More importantly, the archer’s eyes were extremely expressive. No matter which angle you take to see them, they seemed to stare at you.
“Sister, please wear this Sagittarius jade pendant. I know your birthday is around the corner, and your sign is the Sagittarius. By then, I will give you another birthday gift.”
Ding Ning’s eyes were full of expectations. “Sister, I don’t know our mother’s birthday, but I am a Pisces. So, let me carve a Pisces ornament for her. If it is convenient for you, please take it to her. It can be my filial piety. If it is not convenient, it doesn’t matter. You are free to deal with it your way. Give it to someone or sell it, it’s up to you.”
Hearing this, Ding Qianlie felt her nostrils were uncomfortable and nearly cried, but she quickly turned her back to him. “Now it is not convenient for me to contact our mother, either, but I will work out ways to give it to her. I think when our mother receives it, she must be happy.”
“Really? That’s great.”
Ding Ning gave a happy smile and had inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
“By the way, our mother and I won’t be willing to give such fine jade ornaments to others.”
Ding Qianlie carefully stowed the two jade ornaments away and said seriously, “Brother, you still need to carve another piece for me.”
“What is it?”
“An old man is going to celebrate his birthday. I have bought a jade of gla.s.s type, and I want you to carve something out of it as a birthday gift.”
“No problem, just a piece of cake. Sister, how good does your relationship with that old man? If it is very good, I will still use the red coral.”
Ding Ning said very sincerely. Although the red coral was very precious, nothing was more important than his family members.
“No need, just use the gla.s.s type. It is used for celebrating a birthday, and you will have to figure out what to carve. The red coral is my and our mother’s ‘patent’, and don’t randomly use it to carve something and give it to others. Understand?”
Ding Qianlie instructed in a mean woman’s coy and overbearing manner.
“This little sister is a really changeable spirit. Sometimes she is cold as ice, sometimes she is charming, and sometimes she is coy and cute. In a word, her styles are difficult to predict.”
Ding Ning muttered inwardly, but he gave a nice smile and nodded. “Okay, as you say.”
“Without my permission, you can’t even carve for your girlfriend. Are you clear?”
Ding Qianlie ferociously warned, but her face turned red because of it. Although she did not care if Ding Ning flirted with others, she must protect her first wife’s position and authority.
“Okay, all as you say.”
In this regard, Ding Ning did not comment. If they had not acquainted with each other, he would not have planned to carve jade ornaments out of the red coral and give them to others. After all, that thing had more important functions.
“That’s a deal, and I’m going to work. In a while, Knife Scar will bring the gla.s.s type over, and you need to carve it as quickly as possible.”
Ding Qianlie picked up her handbag, ready to leave, but she suddenly turned around and said, “By the way, Miss Shen whom you saved came to see you yesterday. Before you woke up, she refused to leave, but she was still a little weak and was forcefully taken away by her family members. In a while, give her a call and tell her you are safe and sound.”
“Oh, I see!”
Ding Ning felt a little disappointed when he woke up and did not see Shen Muqing. Although he knew that with her poor health, it was unsuitable for her to stay here, he did feel a little uncomfortable when he didn’t see her.
After hearing what his sister said, Ding Ning instantly felt much comfortable. “It looks like Fairy Qing has me in her heart.”
Ding Qianlie took a thoughtful look at him, heaved a silent sigh, turned around, and closed the door behind her. “I need to give the jade ornament to my mother as soon as possible, and I believe my mother will be very happy.”
At the same time, she also firmly believed that like her, her mother would not be willing to give Ding Ning’s red coral jade ornament to others. Therefore, she asked Ding Ning to carve another one as the birthday gift.
Ding Ning took out his mobile phone. “h.e.l.lo, is that Miss Shen? I’m well now.”
“Ding, Doctor Ding, I am very well. As long as you are well, I will feel at ease… Wait a moment; my mother wants to talk to you.”
Shen Muqing was surprised first, but she became depressed when she heard Ding Ning call her “Miss Shen”. Thus, Ding Ning felt the pain in his heart.
In fact, he did not want to speak to her in this way, but her previous alienated att.i.tude obviously showed that she wanted to stay away from him, making him take it to heart as if a thorn had been put into his heart and stimulated the arrogance in his bones.
He could do at all costs to rescue the dying Shen Muqing, but he would never bend his back to beg her without dignity to like him.
“Little Doctor Ding, thank you very much. This time, without you, our Shen Muqing… alas, as long as you are awake, that’s good. I planned to see you with Muyang in a while.”
Ye Shulan’s hospitable and polite voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Don’t bother. Just stay at home to take care of Miss Shen. I’m hanging up!”
Ding Ning was so upset that he did not bother to listen to her false greetings and hung up just as he finished speaking.
Inside No. 16 of the Banwan Villa, Ye Shulan helplessly heard the buzz from the other end of the phone, for she did not just say she wanted to see Ding Ning, but she did want to go and thank him.
Of course, she mainly wanted to ask about what else Shen Muqing should pay attention to regarding her health.
She knew that since she asked her daughter to stay away from Ding Ning, as a very smart man, Ding Ning must have long known that. Thus, if he hated her, that was also reasonable, and she had no reason to comment it.
After all, Ding Ning saved her daughter time after time, but she used different ways to keep her away from him. Her action was really terrible. If she had been Ding Ning, she was afraid that she might not have answered the phone.
Seeing her daughter with gloomy eyes lying on the bed, Ye Shulan heaved a light sigh. “Did I really do it wrong?
“My daughter had been much better, but why was she sick again this time? Did Ding Ning do something to her because he had been offended and become irritated? Otherwise, how could he have appeared there to save my daughter just at the right moment?
“If so, Ding Ning was using this method to warn the Shen Family, telling us that he is the only one in the world who can treat Muqing’s disease. What on earth should we do?”
Ye Shulan, who had been resolute at work and had never been so hesitant, fell into a deep thought to ponder how to work out a perfect way to deal with the matter.
