Chapter 140 Tang Rui

What if he was not willing to do that? It made her hesitate with a lack of confidence, “Lunatic, can’t we just get along like before? You leave me in a dilemma by persisting in doing that.”

Unexpectedly, at the sight of her hesitant expression, Dai Zhefeng immediately misunderstood that she was still worried about Ding Ning. Thus, he suddenly became very confident again and comforted her.

“I will never give up, unless he can defeat me. Don’t worry, I will be measured in the duel.”

With a charming smile, Xiaoyao spoke for Lunatic, “Well, that’s a deal. Sister Nuo, just set up a time, and the sooner the better. We will stay in Ninghai for only a few days.”

“Ah! Since all of you said that, I will talk to Ding Ning later and see if he is willing to do that.”

Xiao Nuo was absent-minded, because she was really worried that Ding Ning would refuse the duel which seemed like child’s play.

However, she looked laden with anxiety, which made Xiaoyao and others mistakenly think that Ding Ning was actually too weak to stand competition.

They involuntarily exchanged a smile, and secretly made a gesture of cheering to Dai Zhefeng.

Dai Zhefeng gave them a grateful smile, secretly thinking that his friends were so reliable.

Ding Ning did not know that he has become one of the protagonists of a duel for the right of pursuing Xiao Nuo.

At this moment, he focused on Shen Muqing. It was almost time for the mysterious man to show up, but no one had come and no abnormal situation had occurred.

Could it be a lie of the mysterious man? It could not be a lie based on what he had done. It made Ding Ning puzzled.

It was 10: 28 now. Ding Ning concentrated on taking precautions, while using Xiaojin’s vision to closely observe the situation around the villa.

“Ring!”

Shen Muqing stretched herself, rubbed her eyes which smarted slightly, picked up the phone and read the text message she had just received. Then her face changed dramatically with blue veins standing out on her forehead and beating constantly.

She immediately dialed the number shown in the text message, but failed to get through. She sat there with a temperamental face. After a while, she made a call. As soon as the phone was connected, she asked in a blunt tone.

“Mom, I want to ask you something. Don’t lie to me.”

“Just ask. When have I lain to you?” Ye Shulan’s reproachful voice came from the phone.

Ding Ning held his breath, feeling faintly uneasy. Although he couldn’t see the content the text message, he knew that this text message was probably the trump card of the mysterious man.

The next question of Shen Muqing must be the key to why the mysterious man could guarantee that she would have a heart attack.

He wanted to come forward to stop her from asking questions. However, at the thought that the mysterious man was so sure that Shen Muqing would get a heart attack after getting this news, he became very curious. Anyway, he was here, and would never let her be in danger.

“Have Grandpa and the Zhao Family arranged my marriage in a few days after I was born?”

Shen Muqing asked in a desperate voice.

Ye Shulan fell silent. After a long while, she said in a nervous tone, “Muqing, don’t get excited. Listen to me, more than 20 years ago, your grandpa…”

“It seems to be true? Why? Why has no one told me before?”

Ding Ning had never seen Shen Muqing so angry. She almost exhausted her strength to roar.

“Muqing, don’t get excited. Make sure not to get excited. How do you know about it? It’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but it’s your grandpa’s decision…”

Ye Shulan’s heart was torn with anxiety. She did not expect that Shen Muqing would know about it, and wished she could tear the person, who told her the news, into pieces.

“It’s enough. I will not consent to this marriage!”

After finishing talking, she hung up the phone, trembled all over and suddenly cried at the computer desk.

She said that resolutely, but she knew that the marriage between big families was not a child’s play, and once it was arranged, there was basically no room for negotiation.

Her heart was filled with sorrow and despair. Since her childhood, it was destined that she could not live for a long time because of her illness, so she had never thought about marriage before.

However, since Ding Ning showed up, he not only gave her the hope of survival, but also successfully let her feel the taste of love and made her looking forward to marriage for the first time.

Nevertheless, all this was only a dream. She knew how stubborn her grandpa was and how much he valued his reputation. He had never changed what he promised.

She could neither change the final result nor fight against her fate. She could only wait to get married and become the daughter-in-law of the Zhao Family.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Zhao Chenxi called her sister-in-law and directly accused her of having a crush on Ding Ning. It turned out that Zhao Chenxi considered herself accusing her sister-in-law of infidelity.

She had never been so desperate that she wished she would never recover so that she could stay with Ding Ning forever and never marry someone she didn’t like.

The pain from her heart made her forehead sweaty and her face turned pale instantly. She put her hands in front of her chest, feebly fell down and sat on the ground.

Ding Ning felt extremely anxious. Ye Shulan should have immediately informed the bodyguards outside. In the vision of Xiaojin, four bodyguards were rushing into the villa.

If he showed up now, he would inevitably be attacked as an intruder. After all, without his original appearance, he couldn’t explain it.

Just as he hesitated, four bodyguards had already come in. The female bodyguard ran into the room of Shen Muqing immediately and shouted in shock, “Miss, Miss, help, send her to the hospital!”

When Ding Ning felt so anxious that he was about to show up recklessly, he noticed that Shen Muqing’s heartbeat became slow. She even stood up by herself and waved her hand.

“I’m fine. Go out and leave me alone for a while.”

“But Miss, are you alright…”

The female bodyguard asked nervously, with her face full of concern.

“Sister Rui, I am fine, indeed. Ding Ning’s medical skills are excellent, and he has greatly enhanced the endurance of my heart. Now even if I want to die, it is not so easy.”

Shen Muqing smiled bitterly with her face full of endless loneliness.

“Miss, you had better go to the hospital and have a check so that we can rest assured.” The female bodyguard said worriedly.

“Stop it, sister Rui. Even if I have an issue, what can we do after going to the hospital? Who can save me except Ding Ning?”

Shen Muqing shook her head stubbornly, “Just go out.”

“Should we call Doctor Ding and ask him to come over?” The female bodyguard named sister Rui still asked worriedly.

Shen Muqing’s eyes lit up and then darkened, “Forget it, Ding Ning is busy and can’t come over tonight. Don’t bother him. I’m fine now.”

“Okay, Miss, have a good rest. Call me immediately if you feel any uncomfortable. I am standing by downstairs.”

Sister Rui carefully supported Shen Muqing to walk to the bed and let her lie down.

“Thank you, sister Rui.” Shen Muqing said politely, and sister Rui quietly walked away.

After sister Rui walked out of the room and the three male bodyguards had not returned to their positions, Ding Ning sneaked out of the window like a dexterous leopard cat and went away rapidly.

In the community, he found a faucet on the lawn to wash off the bio-simulated skin and restored his original appearance, and then walked to No.16 villa swaggeringly.

He didn’t intend to do this. However, after seeing the thermal-sensing night vision devices with which sister Rui and others were equipped, he changed his mind immediately.

He didn’t want to be found suddenly appear in the villa by four bodyguards, which would be impossible for him to explain.

“Gee, Doctor Ding, why are you here?” Asked sister Rui who opened the gate of the villa.

“Who are you? Why do you know me?”

Ding Ning asked in an affected way, secretly thinking that the female bodyguard was so pretty.

Sister Rui looked about twenty-five years old. Her appearance was a little inferior to that of Shen Muqing, but she was still gorgeous. Especially, she was full of the charm of a mature woman. Besides, her identity as a bodyguard made her differently seductive.

She had a fine and short haircut which made her look keen-witted, thin eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes with double-fold eyelids, a high nose, a small mouth and a very delicate face. Perhaps because she had practiced martial arts all year round, she looked heroic and very pleasing to the eye.

The only flaw was probably that her skin was slightly dark and her pores were somewhat visible, which should be irrelevant to her job as a bodyguard.

“My name is Tang Rui, the steward of Miss. I have already seen your photo, so I recognized you.”

Tang Rui spoke quickly and urgently, but pronounced clearly. Her authentic Beijing dialect and her crisp and sweet sound left a hearty impression on Ding Ning.

“Sister Tang, nice to meet you, and please take care of me. I’m still worried about Muqing after handling my business, so I come here to take a look!”

With a smile, Ding Ning reached out to shake her hand without revealing her real identity. Touching a thick layer of callus on her palm, he inexplicably felt distressed for her.

“Doctor Ding, it’s very kind of you. You come at the right time. Miss felt a little uncomfortable just now. I was just wondering whether I should call you and ask you to come over. Miss said that you were busy and prevented me from bothering you. I did not expect that we just talked about you and then you come. It’s great.”

Tang Rui said decently, but the joy on her face was definitely sincere. He could tell that she had a close relationship with Shen Muqing.

Although Ding Ning was ignorant of relationship, he had long regarded Shen Muqing as his girl in his heart. He would naturally be generous to her who treated Shen Muqing well.

He conjured up a bottle of ointment and handed it to Tang Rui. When she looked puzzled, he explained with a smile.

“It’s the first time we meet. I would like to give you this bottle of body cream made by myself as a gift. Daub it on your face after washing it with hot water every day, and it can improve your skin and eliminate the callus on your palm.”

“How… how can I accept it? I… I have nothing good enough to give you. I can’t accept it.”

With sparkle in her eyes, Tang Rui tightly pinched her lips. She said that she could not accept it, while holding the ointment tightly in her hands like a treasure.

No woman did not want to be beautiful, especially a beauty like her. The rough skin caused by years of sunburn and windburn had already become her biggest worry.

They had seen how excellent Ding Ning’s medical skills were. Shen Muqing needed to walk a few steps with great effort, but now she was able to trot without having a heart attack. It made the bodyguards greatly admire Ding Ning’s medical skills.

A moisturizing cream made by such a miracle-working doctor was definitely effective. How could Tang Rui be willing to return it?

“Don’t mind, sister Tang. Although now everyone is calling for equality between men and women, in fact, women have a much higher status than that of men, not to mention such a beauty as sister Tang. I don’t dare to ask you for a gift in return.”

Ding Ning teased with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Tang Rui clenched her teeth, returned the ointment to Ding Ning reluctantly, and firmly shook her head, “No, I cannot take credit for what I did not do. Unless I give you a gift in return, I can’t accept your gift for no reason.”

Ding Ning secretly admired that she was such a principled woman. Nevertheless, in order to make her accept the moisturizer, he suddenly reached out to take a hairpin from her head, put the ointment in her hand and said with a smile.

“Well, now I get a gift in return. Can you accept it?”
