Chapter 83 A Little More Pity
Everyone present understood the meaning of this sentence.
Everyone had different expressions.
Ning Baicha's expression also changed. She looked particularly nervous, as if she was a little uneasy. She lowered her head, clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her shoulders seemed to be shaking.
Everyone on the field sighed in their hearts.
I'm afraid this is another drama where someone is willing to be a stand-in but ends up falling in love with the sponsor.
Among their circle of people, Shen Shijing is considered to be relatively clean. Over the years, apart from supporting Ning Baixuan, there has been no news of him getting close to any other woman.
But why Shen Shijing and Ning Baixuan have not made any progress, and instead have taken Ning Baixuan's sister as their mistress? They don't know the hidden story behind this.
Some people couldn't help laughing when they saw Ning Baicha's pitiful look.
Even though they were having a great time in private, this was a formal occasion in public, and no one really knew what to respond.
But the look he gave Ning Baicha was filled with a little more pity.
Poor man.
Ning Baicha lowered his head, and had to make extra effort to suppress the joy in his heart.
Very good, Shen Shijing has begun to bring her into his circle.
Slowly, she will begin to replace Ning Baixuan's position in Shen Shijing's heart.
Suddenly, someone spoke.
"I don't understand Mr. Shen's behavior."
Ning Baicha clearly saw Shen Shijing tighten his jaw. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the other person.
Ning Baicha also looked in the direction Shen Shijing was looking.
He was a very handsome man, dressed in a very business-like manner. When he spoke, his eyes did not look at Shen Shijing and Ning Baicha.
He just took a bite of the food before saying calmly, "Since Mr. Shen likes Ning Baixuan, why does he want to find Ning Baicha as his lover?"
Ning Baicha gave the other person a look: Brother, you don’t understand this?
As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to love.
It is because what you can’t get is the best, so you have to find a substitute.
Shen Shijing narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not get angry. He lifted Ning Baicha's hair with one hand and smiled faintly: "Chacha, someone is speaking for you."
He seldom addressed Ning Baicha in such an intimate tone.
It didn't sound as intimate as when Chang Mengyu called her. Instead, it made Ning Baicha feel a chill and goosebumps all over her body.
Ning Baicha knew how Shen Shijing wanted her to behave. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked up at him, biting her lower lip lightly. Her voice was very low, and it sounded a bit like she was forced into prostitution by Shen Shijing.
"Thank you, sir." She said this with some difficulty, sounding pitiful, "It's just... I did this willingly."
The man didn't seem to be trying to defend Ning Baicha, he just didn't like Shen Shijing's behavior. He said coldly: "Well, you deserve it."
Ning Baicha's face turned even paler.
Shen Shijing pinched her chin, seeming to be very pleased, as if appreciating, or as if he was carefully examining her expression.
A woman on the field felt uncomfortable and coughed lightly: "Boss Shen likes to play, he can play however he wants in private, why bother to bring it out in the open to humiliate others?"
After all, not all the people in Shen Shijing's circle are good-for-nothings with such vulgar tastes, and there are also people who can't stand it.
Hearing this, Shen Shijing's eyes only showed a deeper smile: "Cha Cha, did you hear that? One by one, everyone is defending you."
Ning Baicha had no idea what Shen Shijing's intention was, so she could only redden her eyes, lightly bite her lower lip, and make a very humiliated expression.
Shen Shijing pinched her chin tightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I..." Ning Baicha's eyes were red and tears were about to fall, "Mr. Shen..."
Shen Shijing just curled his lips. If it were in the past, he might really be moved, but at that moment, he looked at Ning Baicha and felt nothing in his heart.
Although in this scenario it was just acting, Ning Baicha was somewhat unhappy being watched like a monkey in front of so many people. She pursed her lips, and what was even more strange in her heart was Shen Shijing's reaction.
Judging from the development of her relationship with Shen Shijing over this period of time, Shen Shijing shouldn't treat her like this.
Ning Baicha asked with tears in her eyes: "Did I do something wrong?"
"No." Shen Shijing pressed his thumb on her lips, making them almost bloodless, and then forced them apart before saying, "You didn't do anything wrong. You were just a little thing I kept for fun."
Ning Baicha's tears fell directly, and dripped onto the back of Shen Shijing's hand.
Shen Shijing just looked at Ning Baicha coldly. There seemed to be a slight burning pain on the back of his hand where the tears fell. His eyes darkened a lot and no emotion could be seen in them.
But just staring at Ning Baicha like that made Ning Baicha feel like he was going to be eaten up in the next second.
Suddenly, Ning Baicha felt a sense of danger, but the feeling only flashed by.
In the blur, when she was about to grasp something, Shen Shijing suddenly spoke, with a somewhat gloomy look between his brows: "Go down."
Ning Baicha felt particularly confused. She got off Shen Shijing's legs and stood beside him in a daze for a moment.
She actually couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with Shen Shijing.
After reviewing what happened between me and Shen Shijing recently, I didn't think there was anything wrong, but Shen Shijing's attitude was really strange.
Even before today, she felt that the relationship between her and Shen Shijing had taken a step further.
How is this going?
She knew the inside story, but in the eyes of others, it looked like Shen Shijing had given her the cold shoulder. She stood there at a loss, looking very pitiful.
The man who had spoken earlier looked over at her and said coldly, "Ning Baicha, right?"
Ning Baicha came back to his senses and looked at him: "Yes."
"There's an empty seat here. Would you like to sit down and eat together?" the man asked again.
Ning Baicha came here after having a full lunch. Compared to eating, she actually wanted to escape from this smoky and chaotic place. However, she couldn't say these words in front of Shen Shijing.
She subconsciously glanced at Shen Shijing, then shook her head: "No, thank you."
To others, this action seemed to indicate that Ning Baicha did not dare to have his own opinions and could only look at Shen Shijing's face. Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Shen Shijing looked up at Ning Baicha, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Go wait for me outside."
Ning Baicha didn't know what he was trying to do, and why the rehearsal this afternoon couldn't be delayed. She was silent for a while, then asked directly: "Is it something important? The rehearsal is about to start, and we can't delay it."
