Chapter 556: Forget the Past


Xia Ning froze for a second. Feeling his warm temperature on her neck, she lowered her eyes and whispered, “What’s the matter?”


“Xia Ning, I’m sorry. If I knew you had a car accident at that time, I would be by your side no matter what.” Qiao Yu whispered, “You don’t know how lucky I am to see you and Enoch safe and sound. If I lost one of you two, I’m afraid that I’ll never forgive myself for all my life.”


If he could bring her home earlier and communicate with her more effectively to make her trust him, perhaps they would not experience so many difficulties.


The atmosphere of the room was heavy, only the two people’s shallow breath could be heard.


Xia Ning’s pupils slightly shrank. She kept silent for a while and whispered, “Those things belong in the past and there’s no need to mention them.” Her being here did not mean that she could forget everything in the past.


“Okay, I won’t mention it.” Being aware that those past things caused her pain, Qiao Yu naturally did not want to remind her of them. He was also afraid that she would often ignore him like before. So he said immediately, “There’s nothing to worry about as long as you’ll never leave me again.”


Let the past be past. Everything starts from now. There was nothing to worry about as long as she would not leave him.


Xia Ning closed her eyes slightly without a word.


Qiao Yu released Xia Ning from his arms, looked into her eyes and said gently, “Does your foot still hurt?”


Xia Ning shook her head, “No, it doesn’t hurt.”


Qiao Yu raised his hand to caress her face and whispered, “Can we forget all the former unhappiness? From now on, I will compensate for everything I previously owed you. I will bring you happiness and I promise that I’ll never be as stupid as before to ignore your feelings.”


Happiness? Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu with a flash of light in her eyes. Actually, it was already surprising to hear him say these things.


However, happiness was too far away.


In her childhood, she considered herself happy to have her parents’ great love like a princess in a fairy tale. Although she did not have enormous power, at least she possessed precious things many people longed for.


But one day, her father went away. As she and her mother lost everything including their house and money, they became rovers who had to live uncomfortably in a shabby alley. At that time, she was also happy, for she was with her mother.


Until her mother died and her father followed, she had not realized that she could lose happiness as fast as she found it.


Later, he also gave her hope, love, a child and marriage. Everything seemed perfect, but he destroyed it himself.


Perhaps now, she had already dared not to have high hopes.


Seeing his red, swollen lips, Xia Ning suddenly changed the topic and asked, “What’s wrong with your lips?”


Seeing Xia Ning gaze at his bruised lips, Qiao Yu shook his head, “It’s nothing more than a minor bruise. I had carelessly scalded myself.”


Xia Ning nodded, “Then go and apply some medicine for scalds.” Saying so, she looked outside the door, “I don’t know whether Enoch has woken up. I’ll go look at him.” Then, she walked straight outside.


Turning to see Xia Ning’s back, Qiao Yu raised his hand to touch the bruise on his lips with a flicker of gloom in his eyes. Was it because she could not distinguish it, or she did not want to distinguish it? He turned back to see the decoration of the room, which was all black and white again. He remembered that her former favorite color had been pink.


She had really changed a lot in these five years. But he was confident to make her be like before.
