The atmosphere instantly froze as Jian Ning lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at him again.

She uneasily took a few steps back before saying, "I presume that person didn't do it on purpose. He probably didn't see it clearly and didn't care about it." She stepped forward and pulled Shang Jin's hand, explaining.

Song Xi, who was left speechless at the two of them, complained: "This is indeed a capital of myriad evils. It seems like I have lost all value in using it, and have so cruelly abandoned me."

In the car, Jian Ning thought for a while, then decided to explain the situation clearly. "Nothing happened just now, you can't get involved with Song Xi right now."

Seeing how important she viewed Song Xi, he felt a little sour in his heart. "Is Song Xi really that important to you?"

When he thought about Song Xi, Jian Ning smiled very gently, and nodded without hesitation: "Song Xi is already my best friend. If it wasn't for her accompanying me, I wouldn't have been able to hold on for a long time."

Since Song Xi was so important to her, he would not make a move for now. However, the most important person for Jian Ning in the future, should be her.

Suddenly, Shang Jin felt something was wrong, since when did he have such a strong desire for Jian Ning?

He turned his head and looked at Jian Ning strangely. Luckily she was looking out and did not notice the change in him.

Shang Jin quickly calmed down and looked forward with an expressionless face. From the Shang Clan all the way, the two had not said a single word.

In Jian Ning's opinion, this was a very normal thing, and one that wasn't taken too seriously. On the other hand, Shang Jin was a little jealous.

When they reached the Shang Clan, Shang Jin got off the car first. He wanted to hang her up, but seeing that she was distracted, he couldn't help but slow down his pace and wait for her.

This scene was coincidentally seen by Uncle Liu and Liu Yiwei who were observing the two inside. Uncle Liu turned to look at Liu Yiwei with a smile.

"Do you feel that this young master is someone who has tender feelings for the fairer sex? He knows that Jian Ning is slow, but look, he will still take the initiative to stop."

It was a pity that Liu Yiwei's attention was not currently on this place. She was only curious as to why she was together with Jian Ning.

She completely ignored Uncle Liu, tidied up her appearance, stood up and revealed a smiling face as she walked in front of Shang Jin.

"Jin, why did you come back so early today?" She reached out her hands to take the briefcase from him.

But Shang Jin turned a corner and directly handed it to Uncle Liu.

"I'm going to take care of my business, call me after dinner." As for Jian Ning, she had long since forgotten about her.

After Uncle Liu received the things and passed them to the servant, he said: "Then what about Jian Ning?"

He could tell that Jian Ning's current state of mind was a little unsettled. He had precisely said that on purpose, in order to attract his young master's attention.

Hearing that Uncle Liu was calling for him, Jian Ning shook his head, "I'm fine."

This time, Shang Jin also noticed that something was amiss. He frowned in dissatisfaction and asked sternly: "Why did you not say it earlier?"

What did he say? Jian Ning slightly squinted her eyes, as she completely didn't understand what he was saying.

Then she looked at Uncle Liu. "Uncle Liu, I want to sleep. I won't come down to eat dinner tonight."

With a cold expression, Shang Jin carried her by the waist and quickly went upstairs: "If you're not feeling well, just say it. Do you think you're still a three year old child?"

She only laid quietly in Shang Jin's embrace, her lips curled up into a weak smile, and replied with a soft "En".

After sending her back to her room, Shang Jin stayed for a while longer. After confirming that she was only sleeping, he left with ease.

As soon as he left, Jian Ning started having nightmares.

In her dream, the basketball seemed to have grown legs. She ran like her life depended on it, and the basketball followed behind her.

In the end, she had run into an alley and could not run any further. She could only watch helplessly as it ran towards her.

"Jian Ning, Jian Ning, wake up." A familiar voice came over. The basketball player in front of him suddenly stopped hearing it.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Shang Jin anxiously looking at her, his eyes full of worry.

He quickly sat up and hugged Shang Jin, then started to cry while sweating profusely: "I had a very scary nightmare, it's really very scary, I feel like I'm going to die soon."

Shang Jin gently patted her back but he did not ask her what she saw in her dreams. He only comforted her, "Everything is fine now, do not worry."

She was still worried, and kept crying, unwilling to let go of Shang Jin.

Because he was a little uncomfortable and moved a little, Jian Ning hugged him even more tightly, "Don't go, I'm afraid."

"I'm not leaving. I'm just going to wash up." Shang Jin softly released her and comforted her in a gentle voice.

Hearing that he agreed not to leave, Jian Ning relaxed and let go of his hands, but his gaze continued to follow Su Yun.

Shang Jin simply washed up and came out. Seeing that Jian Ning was sitting on the bed looking at her with a pitiful and delicate expression, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't leave, why are you doing this?"

The current Jian Ning was truly as fragile as a child, and could easily be injured.

Jian Ning didn't reply, but instead went forward and tightly hugged him. "You left for a long time, and I thought you weren't going to come back."

"Then can you accompany me to wash up next time?" he suddenly asked mischievously.

This question …

Jian Ning didn't think too much into it, she immediately agreed with a blush and smiled, "But you can't do anything bad to me."

A Jian Ning like this was really too cute, to the point that Shang Jin was embarrassed to let go of her and picked her up by the waist.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad. Let's go to bed now."

She was buried in Shang Jin's embrace, the red clouds on her face had already spread to her ears, and the pink one was that she was extremely cute.

He gently placed Jian Ning on the bed, allowing her to comfortably lean into his embrace. Looking at her hands, he asked: "Wait for your hands to heal, what do you want to do?"

She looked at her own hand, then looked at Shang Jin blankly: "Can my hand really pick up a pen?"

Shang Jin was startled, he tightened his grip on her and spoke with a hoarse voice: "Of course."

"Then I want to become a designer again. I like to design beautiful clothes and wear them on others." Thinking about how she could return to her favorite things once again, Jian Ning couldn't help but laugh.

Shang Jin followed along as she imagined how Jian Ning would look after she recovered. Her face suddenly turned pale, wouldn't that mean that she would be known by even more people?

Sensing that he had become a little stiff, Jian Ning raised his head suspiciously, "You don't like me becoming a designer?"

"No, this is pretty good." He had forced himself to say something against his will, and now it seemed that there was something he needed to do.

At the door, just as someone left, she also had to take some action.
