Chapter 879: Go home!
After spending the whole day at Cambridge, Xia Ning and Jin Yan took the same-day flight back to China.
It was already late at night when Xia Ning returned to S city. Jin Yan did not leave the airport with Xia Ning at the same time to avoid any scandals, while Zheng Ziming was already waiting at the airport.
“Asteria!”Zheng Ziming waved at Xia Ning at the arrival gate.
Due to her arm injury, Xia Ning was wrapped up tightly. No one knew about her recent schedule, so naturally, no one would know that she was coming back.
Xia Ning pa.s.sed her luggage to Zheng Ziming after they left the airport and asked the question that she had been keeping to herself.
“Was it you or someone else who saved me in the Kang River?”
Zheng Ziming tightened his grip on the handle of his luggage. He raised his head and met Xia Ning’s cold gaze. He frowned and asked,”why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
“I went to Cambridge and remembered something.” Xia Ning looked at him and said in a deep voice,”that’s why I don’t want anyone to lie to me!”
Zheng Ziming looked at her serious expression and sighed.”Astria, it seems like you already know.”
Xia Ning frowned.”Why did you lie to me?”
“I’m not trying to lie to you. It’s just that you were hurt so badly by Qiao ran. If you knew that he was the one who saved you, I’m afraid you’d fall into deep trouble again.” Zheng Ziming looked at her and frowned.”Astria, you’re the princess of the SU family. You can’t be trampled on by anyone, not even Qiao Yu.”
“I know what you mean.” “Thank you,” said Xia Ning, looking at Zheng Ziming. She would not blame him for this. He had been with her for so many years, and everything he did was for her own good, even if the result was not what she wanted.
Seeing that Xia Ning wasn’t angry, Zheng Ziming was relieved. He apologized immediately,”I’m sorry. If you knew how Qiao Yu felt about you back then, you wouldn’t have had to go through so many detours.”
“No, it’s not like that,” Xia Ning shook her head,”even if I knew that Qiao Yu saved me, we still wouldn’t have a happy ending. If I had continued to buzz around his ears like a fly, he probably wouldn’t have wanted to see me. Then, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. People are always the best when they can’t be obtained.”
Zheng Ziming nodded and changed the topic.”Where are you going now? Back to the mountain villa?”
“I’ll go back to the Qiao family. I’ve been gone for so long, I need to give them an explanation. ” Xia Ning looked at Zheng Ziming and smiled.”I’m not afraid anymore.”
Zheng Ziming knew that su Jingcheng’s unconscious state was a huge relief for Xia Ning. She could now be with Qiao Yu without any worries. Although he was a little sad, he was happy for her. He wanted her to be happy. If Qiao Yu was the only one who could give her this happiness, he would wish them all the best.
The two of them left the airport together and Zheng Ziming drove Xia Ning to the Qiao family’s residence.
The car stopped outside the Qiao family’s mansion and Xia Ning asked Zheng Ziming to leave first.
Standing at the door, Xia Ning was silent for a long time. She had to think of a way to explain herself to Qiao Yu. Of course, she wouldn’t tell him about the car accident, so she had to find a reasonable excuse to explain why she had disappeared for so many days.
After making up her mind, Xia Ning went straight in. Although the guard was a little surprised to see her, he did not make things difficult for her.
After more than a month, Xia Ning was suddenly back here. She felt like she was in a trance, as if she was still here yesterday. Yes, she missed this place and her home.
She was finally home!
