Chapter 173 - Half of Jingsheng Was Mine!



Seeing this skinny silhouette standing in front of him, Jing Yichen felt his heart full of warmth. His anger and pain disappeared when he saw her.

No one had ever wanted to stand in front of him without hesitation like this and protect him with her fragile and soft wings.

He was also a human and also had moments of weakness. But he had forgotten what being weak felt like, because he had tried so hard to keep what belonged to him and to fight against the pressure and the trouble from outside. He had not allowed himself to be weak in a long time.

When Shangguan Ning stood with her back facing him, he felt protected and deeply loved.

He was only three years old when Zhao Qing had died. He was innocent and ignorant. He had even forgotten his mother’s face. But he still remembered how it felt like to be protected and loved by her.

The feeling Shangguan Ning gave him today, was exactly the same as how he remembered. It was a wonderful feeling of security.

Even the psychological pain caused by Jing Zhongxiu’s slap was smoothened by her.

Shangguan Ning really possessed an amazing power. She was not only able to calm him down quickly but also made the serious and distant Jing Zhongxiu become gentle.

Jing Zhongxiu had never treated anyone in such a pleasant way in his life. But he spoiled her and no matter what she said, he would agree with her without getting annoyed.

How Shangguan Ning was treated was way different than how he as the son was treated.

Jing Zhongxiu exchanged a few words with Shangguan Ning and left. He wasn’t so good at communicating with children, not even when they were adults. It was a rare thing that he didn’t have a barrier in talking with Shangguan Ning and he had not wanted to break it by scolding his son.

Seeing him gone, Shangguan Ning loosened her defense and turned around to look at Jing Yichen’s face.

Jing Zhongxiu had slapped him hard, leaving a clear print on Jing Yichen’s handsome face. It looked bad.

Shangguan Ning massaged his face gently. She was feeling angry and anxious. “Are you silly? Why didn’t you dodge when father slapped you? Were you trying to show off how handsome and smart you were by getting slapped?”

She had seen Jing Yichen getting slapped the minute she entered the room. He could have dodged the hit but he had stood there.

Why didn’t she know that he was so stubborn!

Jing Yichen covered her soft hands with his own. With a gentle look on his face, he said, “Your husband doesn’t need to prove his looks or intelligence. But, if I can be protected and cared for by you, I would be ok to be slapped many times.”

Shangguan Ning noticed that his black eyes had moisture in them. She became even more heart-broken.

Just like her, he also lost his mother when he was young and had grown up under the shadow of a stepmother. As the saying goes, a stepmother makes a stepfather. So even if Jing Zhongxiu loved Jing Yichen a lot, he hadn’t known how to express himself except by being serious and strict. Plus, the maniac Jing Yiran must have made his life chaotic as well. Maybe no one had shown their concern and no one cared about whether or not he was hurt.

“You silly man, I have always been concerned about you! Very much! You are indeed more powerful than me, but there will always be a time when you are weak and when you need a shoulder to lean on. I am that shoulder!”

Shangguan Ning understood clearly what it felt like to have no one to lean on. Uncle had at least been with her throughout her childhood, and she was a girl who could cry and make a fuss without making others think that she was not strong enough. But Jing Yichen was a man, and a stubborn one, who must have refused to shed a tear. What he could do was to swallow down his bitterness and pain and bear it all alone.

As they were talking, the Butler had already come in with the ice bag.

He had been serving Family Jing for so long, and apparently, he was very experienced. “Lady, get the ice on Master’s face, and he will feel better, or it will be swollen tomorrow.”

Jing Yichen still needed to work at Enterprise the next day, and gossip would surely rise if the print on the face was seen by his subordinates.

Shangguan Ning thanked the Butler gratefully, and made Jing Yichen sit on the sofa. She took up ice bag and covered it up with a handkerchief before placing it gently onto his face.

“Does it hurt? Tell me if I am putting too much pressure.”

“Is it too cold? Tell me and then I will give a break and then put it back again.”

Seeing her long, jade-like fingers pinching the ice bag and putting it against his face carefully and hearing her caring and considerate words, Jing Yichen felt his heart ripple.

He wasn’t a spoiled child! It was just a slap, something not even worth a mention compared to what he had experienced before.

But it felt so nice to be cared by someone. He didn’t need to deal with the scary and bloody wounds by hiding in the corner alone any more, and he didn’t need to seal his heart any further.

This elegant and beautiful woman in front of her was injecting warmth into his heart with her enormous power.

He lowered his head and was about to give her a kiss on her smooth, white forehead when the sound of clapping came from behind, making Jing Yichen halt.

A cold and sinister voice spoke up. “What a touching scene! You really are... deeply in love with each other. What a loving couple and I feel so bad that I have to tear you apart. Actually, I always want to be a good man, but I didn’t get any chance. What I see is always nice and harmonious things rather than broken families for me to save!”

Jing Yichen’s look froze when he heard the voice.

Ignoring the man, he still gave her the kiss, stood up and led Shangguan Ning towards the door.

Shangguan Ning knew that it was Jing Yiran who had come in. She recognised his voice.

He had a perfect face that was so attractive, but he always talked in such an annoying way that people wanted to punch him to the ground and trample on him several times.

How had Jing Yichen manage to live with this kind of man under the same roof for so long? He must have had a strong willpower to control himself not to kill him when he had to face this annoying man every day.

Shangguan Ning went outside with Jing Yichen after picking up the ice bag.

The couple ignored Jing Yiran altogether, refusing to give him even a look.

Jing Yiran got so angry that he clenched his teeth. Yet this move affected the sound on his face, causing him to take a short breath because of pain.

Seeing them two coming to the door, hand in hand, he shouted with pain. “Half of Jingsheng is mine now! I am going to work tomorrow!”
