Chapter 718: Did You Fall In Love With Him?
When Qiao Yu came back, Xia Ning was knitting with Gao Wanhua. The mother and daughter-in-law were talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very good.
Enoch was playing on the rug when he looked up and saw Qiao Yu. He shouted at Xia Ning immediately, “Mummy, Daddy is back!”
Xia Ning was shocked. She looked up and saw Qiao Yu in a black coat.
She stood up immediately and said, “You’re back!”
Qiao Yu nodded and did not talk. He did not even look at Xia Ning and walked up the stairs.
Seeing Qiao Yu’s back, Xia Ning’s face darkened. He was indeed mad.
“Go. If there are any misunderstandings between you young people, it’s better to explain it sooner,” Gao Wanhua said with a smile.
Xia Ning looked at her gratefully. She put down the wool ball and followed Qiao Yu upstairs.
Qiao Yu went straight to the master bedroom on the second floor to get changed. Xia Ning stood at the door and watched him put on his loungewear. She said in a low voice, “Those things online are not true.”
Qiao Yu put on his clothes and walked towards the door. But Xia Ning blocked his way.
She looked at him and said in a low voice, “Jinyand and I are not what you think. The media likes to make up stories and say nonsense!”
“Go away!” Qiao Yu said calmly.
“I lied to you yesterday!” Xia Ning bit her lips and looked at him. She continued, “But I was afraid you would overthink. I was a bit confused and lied! Qiao Yu, I’m sorry.”
Qiao Yu looked to the front with a dark face but still did not talk.
Xia Ning reached out and pulled Qiao Yu’s clothes. “Really, I can explain my relations.h.i.+p with Jin Yan. Don’t be mad at me because of this, okay?”
Qiao Yu’s eyes fell onto Xia Ning and he asked suddenly, “What am I to you? Is it your unspeakable lover or the ex-husband you don’t want to admit? Now you are lying to me for one Jin Yan. Just like you are hiding me and lying to the entire world. We have the same status and we can’t see the light of day. Then it’s the same for you. Xia Ning, you make me suspect you and get mad at you.”
Xia Ning’s pupils contracted. She looked down and smiled suddenly. “So that’s what you think. Sorry, I caused you trouble.” After that, she put down her hand and made way for Qiao Yu.
He was degrading himself like this. Wasn’t he also degrading her?!
Qiao Yu tilted his head to look at Xia Ning and asked in a low voice, “Did you fall in love with him?”
Falling in love with Jin Yan? Could he even say something more absurd? Xia Ning sneered. She looked up at him and said sarcastically, “Are you saying that I, Su Ke Xia Ning, can fall in love with anyone? What do you think I am?! If I could fall in love with Jin Yan, I would’ve fallen in love with him a long time ago, why would I come back here to be with you? Or do you think I’m that bad? That I can sleep with a man I don’t love?! I suddenly remembered, your blind date must have gone very smoothly today. So now you want to kick me out so that Enoch can find a stepmother. Fine, I’ll leave. After all, I’m not your type.” As she spoke, she turned around and went into the room to pack her things.
What stepmother? Qiao Yu frowned a little. He turned around and saw Xia Ning taking out her own clothes from the closet and throwing them on the bed. She was planning to pack up and leave now.
Qiao Yu’s face darkened and walked over with big steps. He grabbed Xia Ning’s hand and pulled her into his arms. He said overbearingly, “You can’t go!”
