Chapter 169 - Alienation
Chapter 169 Alienation
Rubbing Chu Yunna’s head, Ding Ning smiled and said, “Nana, do you like it? If you do, I can carve a pendant for you.”
“Nana likes it.” Chu Yunna’s small face was full of joy, and she said with joy.
Ling Fei shook his head and laughed bitterly. He consciously went to the kitchen to wash dishes, so as not to hear their whispers of love and worry about his daughter.
Ding Ning took out the carving knife. “What kind of pendant does Nana like?”
Chu Yunna thought with her head tilted. Her big eyes flickered and she shyly said, “Can you carve Nana a brother? If brother is not at home, Nana can have the brother-shaped pedant with me.”
Ding Ning was able neither to laugh nor cry, but when he looked at her wishful look, his heart was soft. “Well, but brother may not carve myself well.”
“That’s not good. You have to carve the most handsome brother.” Chu Yunna protested with her small mouth pouting and small pink fist waving.
Ding Ning helplessly took himself as the prototype and took great efforts to carve a lifelike self, but his face was deliberately blurred so that it was difficult to let people recognize him at a glance.
But Chu Yunna was already satisfied. She couldn’t help but hold the pendant in her hands and string a rope around her neck and looked at the mirror with joy.
Ding Ning shook his head and grinned bitterly. When he saw that there was still some time left, regardless of her amusement and self-pleasure, he carved with knife waving. In a moment, he carved Ling Yun’s pendant according to his memory.
Since Ling Yun was his official girlfriend, he intended to give this as a gift to her.
When he saw this, Ling Fei, who just finished washing the pot and came out, felt relieved. As a jade merchant who disguised his identity, he naturally knew how much this piece of Glass Type was. This jade carving alone was worth at least ten million yuan.
Unexpectedly, Ding Ning would generously send it away. What surprised him most was that Ding Ning’s sculpture was absolutely fascinating. Ling Yun’s lovely voice and happy countenance were portrayed vividly, as if she were alive.
Ding Ning kept on carving a pendant. One was Guanyin Bodhisattva, one another was Maitreya Buddha and the other was nine-leaf jade lotus. The first two were for him to sell money to raise funds. The latter was for Shen Muqing. After all, the relationship between them was not like couple, but more like a couple. She was elegant similar to nine-leaf jade lotus.
Even so, there was still half of the Glass Type. Ding Ning was going to take time to carve a big birthday peach and sell it to Bai Qing cheaply. Last night, he believed Bai Qing knew very well in his heart, but he did not betray him, and even meant to defend him.
He always disliked owing people. Bai Qing said last time that there was an elder family in his family whose birthday was coming and he would prepare a gift, so Ding Ning should repay him with the carving.
Ding Ning left a very obscure knife-shaped mark between each carving pattern, just like the seal left by some Chinese painting painters, but it could not be seen without a magnifying glass.
Others may think that there was another profound meaning, but Ding Ning knew that the knife-shaped mark was actually a pig-killing knife that his dad always brought with, in order to pin his thoughts on his dad.
Unexpectedly, his unintentional action created the most mysterious school of “Sky Knife” in the jade carving field in the future, and was honored as the master of “Sky Knife” with magic workmanship.
Every piece of his work became a handed-down masterpiece, which was crazily sought after by the world. The auction price had far exceeded the value of the jade carving itself, and his works were praised as the peak art with the most collection value.
At seven o’clock sharp, Ding Ning arrived at Shen Muqing’s home on time. What relieved him was that Ye Shulan was involved in affairs and had returned to Beijing after a long talk with Shen Muqing overnight.
He didn’t know what Ye Shulan and Shen Muqing talked about. The girl’s interest was obviously not much. Her polite attitude showed a clear sense of alienation, and she called him Doctor Ding again rather than Ding Ning.
Ding Ning did not ask much. In his opinion, she was only to keep her at a distance from herself, so it was embarrassing to ask.
Besides, he still didn’t know how to deal with the relationship with Shen Muqing. In the past, when his relationship with Ling Yun was blurred, he could behave recklessly. But when he formally established the relationship with LingYun, he would feel guilty if he was too close to Shen Muqing.
An hour of treatment was very fast. Shen Muqing would rather make a shameful voice than kiss him for the first time, which made Ding Ning feel somewhat lost and at the same time somewhat relieved.
From the beginning, he knew that Shen Family could not accept him as a son-in-law. Moreover, Shen Muqing had already got a marriage contract. Continuing the intimacy without a bottom line would give him a feeling of cheating. Although it was very exciting, it made him feel guilty. So this time Ding Ning also observed her nose, mouth and heart. He was absorbed in treating her illness.
Shen Muqing felt a faint pain in her heart. Although Ding Ning did his best in the treatment, she could still feel the resentment in his heart from the increased strength of his massage.
She knew it was unfair to treat Ding Ning like this, but after a deep talk with Ye Shulan last night, she realized how dangerous her actions would be to Ding Ning.
Zhao Family was extremely powerful. Zhao Chenxi just suspected Ding Ning and began to kill him. If there was anything, she believed that the Zhao Family would never let Ding Ning go.
What was more, Ding Ning had a girlfriend, so they were unlikely to be together, which made her sad. In order to prevent Ding Ning from being hurt, she had to ruthlessly desolate him.
After the treatment, Ding Ning took a shower, and did not leave immediately, but solemnly said,
“Miss Shen, today I will pass on you “Sutra of Cultivating Spirit”. As long as you are successful in practice, you can adjust your disordered secretory system by yourself, and then cooperate with breathing and vomiting method. After that, you can basically live like normal people. In half a year or so, your body will be able to replenish its vitality, and then I will give you the final treatment.”
“Well… during the time, won’t you come?”
Shen Muqing raised her head, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Ding Ning was almost softened by her miserable appearance, but in the end, he said cruelly and expressionlessly.
“Yes, I also have my own business to do. I really can’t bear it every night. The treatment effect of these days has exceeded my expectations. It’s no longer necessary for me to come here every day.”
“Are you angry with me? I…”
Shen Muqing grabbed his arm anxiously, trying to explain but not knowing how to say.
Ding Ning slightly broke off her hand and lowered his eyes. “I’m a doctor, and you’re a patient. That’s all. Isn’t it that what you want?”
“No, it is not what I want, I, I…”
Shen Muqing was so distressed that she almost blurted out her worries, but she thought that it was exactly the result she wanted. So why should she insist? She bowed her head and whispered, “Yes, you are a doctor, and I am a patient. I’ll follow the doctor’s rules.”
After saying this, Shen Muqing sat there silently as if she had been taken out of his soul.
Ding Ning felt a faint pain in his heart. But indecision would invariably lead to trouble, and it was better to have short, sharp pains than long, dull pains. He took a deep breath to calm his throbbing heart and calmly said, “Concentrate and let go of your spirit. I will take you to run the gas several times, so remember the route of operation, and then you can run along this route every day.”
Ding Ning reached out and pressed his hand on Shen Muqing’s head. Her stereoscopic image appeared in his mind. According to the operation route of “Sutra of Cultivating Spirit”, he guided the True Qi in her body from eyebrow to brain through the porch, then into her nose, then into the dongfang, and finally into the center of her brain to form a round cycle.
At first Shen Muqing could not concentrate, so True Qi was intermittent and the round cycle could not be completed.
Fortunately, she was sick at an early age, so her spirit willpower was far superior to others. She soon sensed the existence of True Qi, so abandoned miscellaneous thoughts and calmed her mind, following Ding Ning’s True Qi to guideline to work. It was circled again and again, until Ding Ning released her hands. She still fell into deep practice and was able to run “Sutra of Cultivating Spirit” independently.
Ding Ning observed her for a while again, making sure that she was familiar with the practice route and there was no problem. Then he looked at her in dismay for a while, sighing softly, and took out the nine-Leaf jade lotus on the bedside table and floated away.
At the moment, Ding Ning was in a bad mood. Although he knew that this was the wisest choice, he was still suffering from the pain. He drove his car aimlessly and wandered back to the old area of Fuxing Road unconsciously.
Since it was almost nine o’clock, he did not dare to go in to find Ling Yun. After all, Xiao Nuo said to call him at nine o’clock. If Ling Yun heard in the side, he did not know how to explain.
Xiaojin’s brainwave told him that Yun Sihai was hiding in a residential building in the eastern suburbs. When the police relaxed slightly tomorrow evening, he would immediately leave Ninghai for Myan to avoid the trouble.
Bald man, Brother Long was bathing in an outdoor bathing place, without special movement. He was monitored by the male hummingbird named Xiaohuang.
The female hummingbird named Xiaocui followed Ling Yun, and Ding Ning couldn’t help change the perspective to see what Ling Yun was doing.
He found that Ling Yun was dressing, and it seemed that she would go out with Chu Yunxiu. Ding Ning took back his perspective and urged Xiaocui to follow them and report any dangers immediately.
As he was about to call Xiao Nuo, Ling Yun sent him a Wechat telling him that Chu Yunxiu would invite her to the club to play mahjong in the evening, and it probably lasted for all night so that he need not come at night.
Ding Ning thought about it and gave her a reply: pay attention to safety, and call me in time if necessary.
Ling Yun returned a grinning expression and said, “when my period is over, I will make up for you and unlock new posture for you.”
Ding Ning laughed and shook his head. The dirty girl was really open. She dared to say anything.
“Ring!”
Xiao Nuo’s call came, so Ding Ning did not return Ling Yun but directly connected to the phone. “Where are you?”
“Celebrity Clubhouse, would you like me to pick you up?”
Xiao Nuo’s voice was so gentle that Ding Ning’s uncomfortable mood was somewhat comforted. “No, I can use navigation. I will see you half an hour later at the gate of the clubhouse.”
“OK, I will wait for you!”
Xiao Nuo seemed relieved, but Ding Ning did not care. He turned on the navigation to locate Celebrity Clubhouse.
In the Banwan Villa, Shen Muqing woke up from her deep practice with unprecedented refreshment, which made her feel energetic and full of strength.
Before she felt happy, she saw the nine-Leaf jade lotus on the bedside table and her eyes suddenly became dim.
Her slender palm held the lotus tightly, as if she had grasped the most precious thing in the world. Tears rippled down her cheeks and dripped on the lotus, glittering and translucent as morning dew.
When she thought that Ding Ning would never see her again for the next six months or even a year, she was distressed, filled with intense reluctance, and murmured in a low voice,
“Sorry Ding Ning, I love you, so I must leave you. But I was reluctant. What should I do? What should I do?”
Celebrity Clubhouse on the Jinling Road was one of the high-end luxury clubs in Ninghai. It could be seen from the flashing neon lights and the luxury cars parked at the entrance.
“There you are. Um, did you change the car?”
Xiao Nuo was wearing a black and white plaid dress, waiting quietly at the gate, like the most beautiful scenery in the night.
She saw Ding Ning rolling down the window and waving at her. She immediately greeted her with joy. Surprised to see that Ding Ning changed his car, she asked.
