This couple truly belonged to each other. They resembled one another even in the way of stressing out others.
It seemed that he did not know Shangguan Ning well enough.
“Yes, I trust you, but I was just giving an example.”
Shangguan Ning sounded calm and her facial expressions had not changed.
She, of course, trusted Mu Qing, otherwise she would not have asked the lusty Mi Xiaoxiao to go on a blind date with him.
“We need your support. And you are not allowed to withdraw. In the coming couple of months, you are not allowed to meet Anan alone unless it is totally necessary. You are not allowed to sneak a peek at her no matter how much she suffers. You are not allowed to leak my plan to her, either. I have people keeping eyes on you.”
“What? Sister-in-law… you…” Mu Qing was not willing to accept this.
“What do you mean by What? Anan is not a child any more and she is not as weak as you imagine her to be. You can spoil her rotten in the future, but not in the next two months.”
Mu Qing was still very unwilling. He had witnessed Zhao Anan’s expressions today.
She must have assumed that he had fallen for someone else and must be in despair right now like a heart that had been soaked in cold water.
He could not see her like this.
Shangguan Ning knew that he was not willing to do what he was asked to, judging from his twisted expression.
She let out a sigh and said in a soft voice, “People only realise what they are missing after receiving setbacks. They would only know what they should have cherished and treasured after losing it. Anan has had a very smooth life, so she is proud and arrogant. She is brave in every sense and does not feel desperate despite her disease. But she assumes that she would have a good life even without you around. You must let her understand that without you, she will not be able to live on.”
“Mu Qing, just wait and see! I will give back a completely new Zhao Anan to you and you won’t have to wait for too long. You have been waiting for her for eleven years. Can’t you just wait for a few more months? I promise that after this, Anan will not dodge you any more. She will come and beg you to marry her, trust me!”
Mu Qing was shocked inside his heart.
Wait and see, I will give back a completely new Zhao Anan to you!
She will come and beg you to marry her
Could that really be true?
Would he really be living together with Anan forever?
She would not run away any more?
Mu Qing looked up and saw the determination and persistence in Shangguan Ning’s eyes and finally nodded decisively. “Alright! I will wait. Thank you so much, sister-in-law, I will never forget about your care for us.”
Shangguan Ning smiled brightly after hearing his words. “You don’t need to thank me. I am doing this for Anan. When you get married in the future, let her give me a huge red packet as a present, and this way, she can never claim again that she was a match-maker!”
She sounded gentle and calm again.
The sharp side of Shangguan Ning was hidden once again.
Mu Qing respected Shangguan Ning now, not only because she was Jing Yichen’s wife, but because she was doing something for her friend with a true heart. She was a charming lady with a firm determination and a calm mind.
Shangguan Ning would benefit nothing from this plan, and was spending so much energy and effort coordinating everything. If Zhao Anan discovered something about the plan, she would definitely pick up a fight with her and even get mad at her.
She was facing a risk and huge stress as well.
Mu Qing threw a deep look at the smiling Shangguan Ning and walked out of the study with endless gratitude.
Seeing Mu Qing leaving the study, Jing Yichen said with a calm voice, “Ning, you don’t need to care about their affairs. It is Mu Qing’s fault that he did not handle it well. He deserves to remain a single man. I am concerned about you putting so much effort into their affairs.”
Shangguan Ning stood up from the chair with a smile, and kissed him on the lips.
“My husband, of course, should feel concerned about me. But I am a happy girl so I must make sure my matchmaker is happy, too!”
Jing Yichen had supported Shangguan Ning’s plan at the beginning, but he got very annoyed when Mu Qing showed his unwillingness.
How dare he not accept Shangguan Ning’s proposal?
Then he could just stay single throughout his life.
Zhao Anan was annoying, as well. He felt that if she was so spoiled, she could just waste her time with Mu Qing so that when they reached the age of 80, she would be full of regrets.
With one hand upon Jing Rui on the table and the other over his wife’s waist, he showed a touch of gentleness on the face, “Weren’t you a silly woman who was not calculative? Since when did you get so smart making Anan fall in the trap? You should be awarded with the Best Director Prize.”
Shangguan Ning looped her hands around Jing Yichen’s neck and said with a smile, “I am a very calculative woman, it is just that I don’t like using such methods. It costs time and energy. And those people in the past did not deserve my attention. I am putting in so much effort for Zhao Anan because I want to make her happy.”
Shangguan Ning was not very calculative, but she tried her best for the sake of Zhao Anan. It took her a long time to think over this detailed plan.
“Well, I need your help too!” Shangguan Ning said with a smile.
Hearing that she needed his help, Jing Yichen smiled and said, “Sure, I promise to complete your mission. I have been thinking that I am not offering much help when I see you giving instructions to everyone all the time. Even, Lee Duo and his men are being used. Maybe I can retire and become a stay at home husband!”
Shangguan Ning burst into laughter. She looked at Jing Rui and then at Jing Yichen and suddenly felt that Jing Yichen would make a good stay at home father!
“I need you to arrange a simple job that requires someone to be responsible, so that she won’t be exhausted but can be restrained, easy to be approached by my men!”
“No problem. That is just a piece of cake for me!”
Jing Yichen agreed instantly.
