Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Xia Ning and Qiao Yu came in, Gao Wanhua was reading newspapers on the sofa. Seeing them coming in, she put down the newspapers and stood up.
“You guys are back,” Gao Wanhua said.
Xia Ning nodded at Gao Wanhua, “Auntie, why haven’t you gone to bed?”
Gao Wanhua smiled, “It is too early and I cannot fall asleep. Was everything all right with your work?”
“It was so-so,” Xia Ning answered. She looked around and asked, “Where is Enoch?”
“He has already fallen asleep in my room. Tonight, he won’t sleep with you guys.” Gao Wanhua said, “Both of you have worked hard today, so rest early.”
“I will take a look at Enoch,” Xia Ning said to Gao Wanhua and immediately went towards Gao Wanhua’s room.
Gao Wanhua watched Xia Ning’s back as she smiled with relief in her eyes. In Gao Wanhua’s eyes, the four of them interacting together like this was like a perfect family. Enoch was the pivot of the family. Because of him, Gao Wanhua became a grandmother, Qiao Yu became a good father, and Xia Ning would also be a good mother. All of them would be together.
She glanced at Qiao Yu. He finally did something that pleased her.
Xia Ning looked at Enoch’s face as he slept on the bed. Her expression softened. She directly went to the bed and sat down at the bedside. She wanted to reach out to caress his face but was afraid of waking him up.
In the end, she put down her hand. In fact, it would be good as long as she could watch him like this.
Unnoticeably, Qiao Yu appeared behind her, his hand falling on her shoulder.
Xia Ning turned to look at the man behind her, only to meet his gaze. Her eyes dropped as she was hiding her emotions. She slowly stood up and walked outwards.
Qiao Yu went to help tuck Enoch’s blanket in. He watched Enoch for a long while and left.
The two went up to the second floor. Xia Ning took a bath and then sat on the bed to read something with her tablet computer.
Coming out after a bath, Qiao Yu saw Xia Ning concentrating on the screen of her tablet computer. He walked to the bed, lifted the blanket to sit in it, and saw the webpage on the screen.
There were topics relating to the talk show Face to Face Genuinely. Qiao Yu saw the words “the Shen family” and “Shen Weiran.”
“Will you go to the Shen’s old mansion tomorrow?” Qiao Yu suddenly asked.
Xia Ning’s hand paused on the tablet. She turned to look at Qiao Yu and said coolly, “Yes, I don’t want to forgive the Shen family.”
Sure enough, she had a reason to mention Shen Weiran in the program tonight and show the public her inharmonious relations.h.i.+p with Shen Weiran.
Since Shen Weiran was an illegitimate child, she had no right to be the Shen family’s proud elder daughter any longer. Didn’t all netizens despise mistresses and fight for justice? As the descendant of the true elder daughter, Xia Ning thought that she had every right to condemn Shen Weiran who was born of a mistress.
While Shen Weiran was able to utilize public opinion for her own sake, Xia Ning could also use public opinion against Shen Weiran.
Crucially, Xia Ning wanted Shen Weiran to return everything she had obtained. And Xia Ning would not give anybody the chance to protect Shen Weiran.
How could an illegitimate child born of a mistress be more important than the first wife’s daughter?! She wanted to see whether the old Mr. Shen would do such a thing before her.
“Who will accompany you there?” Qiao Yu asked.
Xia Ning stopped wondering and answered, “I will bring my lawyer there.”
“Don’t you need my help?” Qiao Yu asked again.
Xia Ning looked at him and shook her head, “No, I can settle it well.”
Qiao Yu nodded, took away the tablet from her hand, and said softly, “Then sleep early.” After these words, he turned off the bedside light.
Xia Ning laid down. The man next to her suddenly approached to embrace her. Her body instantly tightened. But he did not move for a long time. She relaxed slightly.
She did not know how long it had pa.s.sed before the man beside her started to breathe at an even pace. Staring at the ceiling above her, Xia Ning could not fall asleep.
She turned to look at the man beside her. His handsome face was extremely composed at this moment. He was not stern or relentless when sleeping. While she was watching him, her eyelids grew heavy. She closed her eyes slowly and fell asleep.
At this time, however, the man next to her woke up and looked at her with a flicker of complication emotions in his eyes.
