Chapter 53 Staring at Ning Baicha in Confusion

The rehearsal ended a little later than Ning Baicha expected, but when Yi Fei came to pick her up, he had already bought the vegetables according to Ning Baicha's wishes.

He bought a lot of vegetables, and it was obvious that Ning Baicha was not eating them alone.

She didn't invite Yi Fei either, so Yi Fei, who was a smart man, still thought of Shen Shijing.

But I'm not sure.

Seeing Ning Baicha sitting drowsily in the back seat, Yi Fei asked, "You asked me to buy so many dishes. How long do you plan to eat them alone?"

"I'm not eating alone." Ning Baicha was really tired.

The intensity of the drama rehearsal was greater than she had imagined, but she gained a lot and her acting skills also improved qualitatively.

From this perspective, those actors who claim to have honed their acting skills by entering drama are not all lying, and maybe they are telling the truth.

"Aren't you eating alone?" Yi Fei raised his voice, "Uncle and aunt came to see you today?"

Ning Baicha understood Yi Fei's temptation. She leaned forward, clung to the back of Yi Fei's chair and said innocently, "I'll cook for Shen Shijing."

Yi Fei was a little confused: "You are very nice to Mr. Shen, why are you still..."

"He's been nice to me, and he didn't find anything." Ning Baicha smiled, "It's only natural that I treat him well."

Yi Fei thought about it and felt that Ning Baicha's attitude clearly showed that she was treating Shen Shijing as a financial sponsor and was not emotionally invested in him.

After all, it's better to part ways amicably.

I'm tired of playing with people like Shen Shijing, so I just kick him away.

However, people in this wealthy circle will not do things too ugly. Before breaking up, they will give each other a lot of resources and money. After all, each party gets what they need.

It’s good that Ning Baicha can understand this.

Yi Fei felt relieved but also a little distressed. After all, in comparison, Ning Baixuan was treated much better than Ning Baicha.

But no matter what, getting actual benefits is always better than ending up with nothing.

When getting out of the car to send Ning Baicha upstairs, Yi Fei lingered for a while and said to Ning Baicha: "For some things, you just need to know the bottom line in your heart. I won't persuade you too much. Anyway, just don't forget your original intention."

Ning Baicha smiled and said, "I understand, my sister Yi Fei."

Yi Fei pinched her nose and said, "You are the only one who speaks sweetly."

After Ning Baicha saw Yi Fei off, she put on an apron and prepared to cook dinner.

The dinner prepared was all to Shen Shijing's liking.

Braised prawns, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried Shanghai greens, etc.

When Shen Shijing arrived, the table was already filled with warm dishes.

The doorbell rang. Ning Baicha turned off the faucet and went to open the door. She looked at Shen Shijing with a satisfied smile: "You're here!"

Shen Shijing's eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes glanced at her apron, and then he looked away. There was a faint aroma of food in the air.

He moved his chin slightly: "Not allowed in?"

Ning Baicha seemed to have just realized what was happening. She quickly stepped aside, turned around and even took a pair of slippers for Shen Shijing. "Put on your slippers. I've already prepared the dishes. You can eat when the rice is cooked."

Shen Shijing walked in, changed into slippers, and his gaze fell on Ning Baicha's back with a little coldness.

He did not go to the restaurant immediately, but leaned on the sofa and looked at Ning Baicha: "What's the matter?"

"Hmm? What?" Ning Baicha had already walked into the kitchen. She looked at Shen Shijing, "What did you say?"

Shen Shijing followed her to the dining table, looked at the dishes on the table, and then moved his gaze to Ning Baicha: "Do you need help from me? Resources? Or..."

He narrowed his eyes, and said to Ning Baicha's puzzled expression: "The clip that was cut from your variety show?"

Ning Baicha was puzzled at first, then a little shocked, but not sad. Finally, he showed a look of confusion: "In the variety show, were my clips cut? Was it... the dancing part?"

Shen Shijing's eyes narrowed dangerously: "You know?"

"I didn't mean to ask." Ning Baicha suddenly raised his hand and touched the bruise on his neck that had not yet disappeared, with a look of fear and panic, "It was my sister... at that time... I was pinched... No, no, no, anyway, she told me."

"Pinch?" Shen Shijing suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Ning Baicha's wrist, unbuttoned her collar, revealing her slender neck.

The pinch marks on the neck have faded a lot, but they are still visible.

Ning Baicha hurriedly pulled the collar out of Shen Shijing's hands and buttoned it up, as if she was really afraid of being seen by others. She immediately said, "It has nothing to do with Xuanxuan. It has nothing to do with her at all. I was careless."

Shen Shijing looked at her coldly: "Of course Bai Xuan would not do such a thing. She is kind-hearted and not that kind of person. If you use this kind of false accusation again in the future, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Ning Baicha bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes slightly reddened. She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Shijing: "Boss Shen is right, I know...it was definitely not Xuanxuan who did it, I was careless."

Shen Shijing stared at her red eyes and felt upset. He turned around and wanted to leave.

However, just as she took a step forward, her clothes were grabbed by Ning Baicha. She sobbed and said weakly, "Boss Shen, I cooked so many dishes myself. Do you really not want to try them? It's okay to try them. I went to the vegetable market to buy the dishes before daybreak in the morning. After I finished preparing them in the morning, I went to the rehearsal room. As soon as the rehearsal was over, I hurried back to cook."

Shen Shijing's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Ning Baicha just pleaded in a low voice: "It would be nice to have a taste of the shrimp."

Shen Shijing frowned, turned around, and stared at her with an almost cold look.

Meeting his gaze, Ning Baicha seemed to know that she had done something wrong. She slowly loosened her hand. She was clearly reluctant, but still forced herself to let go: "I... I know I went too far. Mr. Shen, don't be angry. I will change."

A teardrop fell silently on the ground.

Ning Baicha even stopped crying. She didn't make any sound anymore, but just silently wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

Then he turned around, took out the plastic wrap from the refrigerator, and planned to seal all the dishes.

His heart ached slightly, and Shen Shijing sat opposite Ning Baicha with an unhappy look on his face. He said, "Sit down and eat."

Ning Baicha heard his voice and looked over in surprise, tears about to burst out again: "Boss Shen, you... stay for dinner?"

"Do you want to eat?" Shen Shijing looked at her coldly, "If you don't want to eat, I'll leave."

Ning Baicha nodded quickly: "Well, eat! Then I'll go to the kitchen and add more rice for you."

Her steps towards the kitchen became brisk, and she even hummed a cheerful tune.

Shen Shijing's tense face relaxed slightly, and he stared at Ning Baicha in confusion.
