The car was in the parking lot, and there was still a long distance from the banquet hall to the parking lot.
Normally, the driver would drive the car to the entrance of the banquet hall, but He Tingchen did not do so.
He walked all the way towards the parking lot, and Mu Ningxi chased closely behind him in order to ride in the same car as He Tingchen.
The high heels and long skirt did not knock her down, but the low temperature outside at night made her shivering.
Her body was severely damaged and it will take some time to recover.
The cold night wind blew, and Mu Ningxi, who was wearing a strapless dress, turned her lips purple from the cold.
The distance of several hundred meters gave her the feeling of walking on a long march of thousands of miles.
Although it was extremely cold, Mu Ningxi had no intention of telling He Tingchen to stop.
He Tingchen slowed down unconsciously. Through the shadow cast by the street lamp, he could see Mu Ningxi's trembling figure.
This woman is so stubborn!
A breeze blew and the leaves rustled.
When Mu Ningxi's hands and feet were numb from the cold, a sudden burst of warmth hit her, causing her to move forward involuntarily.
Her skin, which was originally exposed to the air, was now covered by a black and gray suit jacket. The man's hot body temperature was still attached to the jacket, instantly dispelling the coldness all over her body.
Muning Xi subconsciously raised her head, and happened to bump into the man's eyes as bright as stars, and her heart trembled inexplicably.
He Tingchen frowned slightly, his eyes showing displeasure.
"You're cold and you can't speak?"
He had no hope of waiting for this woman to take the initiative to speak.
Mu Ningxi smiled awkwardly and defended in a low voice: "Aren't you being embarrassed?"
"I'm sorry to borrow my coat, but you're pretty good at climbing into bed!"
Mu Ningxi froze and didn't know how to answer.
She can't say that she lacks medicine to strengthen her courage!
Seeing her standing dumbfounded again, He Tingchen had no choice but to hug her and forcefully drag her away.
By the time Mu Ningxi realized what she was doing, she was already in the car.
Lin Jie sat in the front seat and acted as the driver. As soon as the two got in the car, he immediately raised the temperature in the car to the highest level.
"Miss Mu, is this temperature okay?"
The warm breeze hit Mu Ningxi and she instantly felt warm again. She smiled politely at Lin Jie.
"Very good, thank you!"
He Tingchen, who was sitting nearby, heard her thank you to Lin Jie, and his face instantly darkened.
He kindly took her away from the embarrassing situation, lent her clothes, and made her complain for a while.
Lin Jie just adjusted the temperature and actually said thank you to him.
Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this woman?
Lin Jie noticed the displeasure in his boss's eyes and the gradually decreasing air pressure in the car. He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped.
He carefully raised the partition in the car, and even his breathing became much more cautious, gradually reducing his sense of presence.
…
The car drove slowly to the door of the old house and stopped. Mu Ningxi was still asleep, with no intention of waking up.
Lin Jie stood waiting outside the car, hesitating whether to open the door or not, when the window slowly lowered.
After receiving the hint from his boss's eyes, Lin Jie wisely turned around and left, leaving space for the remaining two people.
He Tingchen sat in the car and slowly looked at Mu Ningxi under the dim light.
The beautiful scene of that night five years ago appeared in his mind unconsciously, and his hand reached towards her cheek uncontrollably.
The fingertips lightly touched her cheek, and the warm body temperature was continuously transmitted through the fingertips.
Just when he wanted to get closer, suddenly...
Mu Ningxi murmured, then frowned and opened her eyes with displeasure.
