Chapter 812: Punishment
Xia Ning saw the smile on his face and was surprised. Was he talking to her?!
Qiao Yu did not seem to know what Xia Ning was thinking, nor did he think it was inappropriate to talk to her. He said to Enoch in his arms, “Have some carrot juice tonight. Your mother is so happy that she can’t even talk.”
Xia Ning: “…” When did she become happy about this? She looked at Qiao Yu’s face and did not show any anger. He did not look like he was pretending. Instead, he looked somewhat relaxed and casual.
So, when he was talking to her just now, did he mean that everything from before was over?!
Xia Ning looked at the gentle man in front of her and felt a little relieved. Even though she did not know why he suddenly changed, this result made her very happy.
The servant knew Qiao Yu and Xia Ning were drinking carrot juice as well and went to make three cups.
At the dining table, Xia Ning and Enoch looked at the bright carrot juice in front of them and were not willing to do anything for a long time. On the other hand, Qiao Yu picked up the gla.s.s and drank the carrot juice in one go. He even looked like he wanted more.
“Why aren’t you drinking?” Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and Enoch and raised his eyebrows.
Xia Ning darted a look at Enoch and Enoch looked back at her. Of course, it was because they did not like it.
Enoch knew that Xia Ning was the only one in the family who could fight against Qiao Yu. He looked at Xia Ning as if he was asking for help.
Xia Ning’s eyes moved a little and understood Enoch’s face. She coughed a little and said to Qiao Yu, “It’s not good to just drink carrot juice. You have to…”
“I think it’s not bad that someone can have carrot juice tonight.” Qiao Yu darted a look at Xia Ning and his dark eyes moved.
Xia Ning pressed her lips together. Well, things could not be solved so easily. See, the punishment was coming.
“Enoch, drink carrot juice with Mummy. It’s very good,” Xia Ning said to Enoch with a smile. She took the gla.s.s of carrot juice from the table with trembling hands and darted a look at Qiao Yu across her. He was looking at her calmly and then at Enoch.
Enoch was looking at her with fear as if she was holding some poison.
She closed her eyes suddenly and downed the carrot juice.
“Gulp… Gulp…” As the carrot juice was down, Xia Ning felt a bit nauseous. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and finished the carrot juice.
Bang! Xia Ning put the cup on the table. Her mouth was filled with the smell of carrots. She felt like she was going to faint.
“Mummy…” Enoch saw Xia Ning’s pale face and shouted in a low voice. He then looked at the carrot juice in front of him and curled his lips. He held it up and took a sip. He curled his nose and looked at Xia Ning next to him, trying to get some sympathy.
Xia Ning could not bear to see him like this. She hated it so much, so Enoch probably felt the same way. But… She met Qiao Yu’s eyes and lowered her head silently, ignoring Enoch’s cry for help.
At this time, she did not dare to offend his father. She was still guilty. What if he asked her to drink this gla.s.s?
Kids should drink more carrot juice!
