Chapter 1142: Catching up on old times
After was.h.i.+ng up and changing her clothes, Xia Ning went downstairs.
Breakfast was already served on the dining table. Xia Ning’s gaze fell on the direction of the kitchen, and she heard some movements inside.
Just as she reached the dining table, Qiao Yu came out of the kitchen.
“Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?” Qiao Yu walked over and placed some bread and warm milk on the table.
“I can’t sleep when you’re up,” Xia Ning answered.
Qiao ran’s eyes moved. She was silent for a while before she said,”From tomorrow onwards, I’ll wake up at the same time as you.”
Xia Ning was speechless. He must be joking. What if she slept until 11 or 12 o’ clock and he woke up at that time? In fact, she was just joking with him.
“Why are you standing there? sit down and have your breakfast. Otherwise, you’re going to get cold.” Qiao Yu had already sat down. Seeing that Xia Ning had not sat down, he looked up at her.
“Oh.” Xia Ning responded and sat down.
As usual, Qiao Yu pushed the gla.s.s of milk in front of Xia Ning and put a piece of fried egg in her bowl.
...
Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu and asked,”are you busy today?”
Qiao Yu replied,”I have dinner tonight.”
“Yes.” Xia Ning nodded.
“You’ll partic.i.p.ate with me!” Qiao Yu continued.
“Ah?” Xia Ning looked at him in surprise.
Qiao Yu lifted his head and looked at her,”what’s wrong?”
“You’re talking about business, right? why did you call me?” Xia Ning’s chopsticks were still on the fried egg in her bowl, and her mind was drifting away. Were they progressing too fast? first, they made it public, then they went to their company openly, and now they were going to dinner with him. Of course, the time in Hawaii did not count, because that was abroad and not many people knew her.
“What are you thinking about?” Qiao Yu’s voice suddenly sounded.
Xia Ning came back to her senses and shook her head.”Nothing.”
“The eggs are all broken by your chopsticks.”
Xia Ning looked down at the egg in the bowl that looked like it had been “torn apart” by five horses and fell silent.
“You’re not willing to?” Qiao Yu asked.
Xia Ning looked into Qiao Yu’s deep eyes and shook her head,”no!”
“Then I’ll come back to pick you up tonight.” Qiao Yu said as he gave her another crystal bun.
Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu’s calm and handsome face as he ate his crystal bun in silence. This man was really simple and crude. However, it seemed that she was overthinking it. She was now his publicly acknowledged Mrs. Qiao, so what was wrong with attending a dinner with him?
With her around, it would also save some women from shamelessly leaning on him. With this thought, she instantly made up her mind.
Seeing that Xia Ning was eating quietly, Qiao Jin’s eyebrows twitched, but he did not say anything and went to work after dinner.
Since she had to attend a dinner party that night, Xia Ning was thinking about what she should wear. All of her clothes were at the mountain villa, and most of the clothes here had been worn a few times. The only new one was the one she bought in Hawaii the last time. It happened to have been washed, so she decided to wear this one in the end.
Since neither Gao Wanhua nor Enoch were around, she had a simple lunch and was about to have a beauty sleep when she received a phone call.
The female voice on the other end of the phone was extremely elegant.”Astria, it’s me. Do you have time today?”
Xia Ning sat on the bed and said,””Is there something you need from me?”
“Yes.”
“I’m not free today. ” Xia Ning said calmly.
“I know you don’t have any work scheduled today, so you should be at Qiao Yu’s house right now. I just wanted to catch up with you, don’t act like you’re facing a great enemy.”
Xia Ning remained silent.
The female voice on the other end of the phone continued,””I remember you going to Saint Maria’s Cathedral every year.”
Xia Ning’s eyes narrowed and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
