Every step he took, Xiao Tian felt something heavy being put on his shoulders. The closer he was to Liu Ning’s room, the heavier his footsteps were.
When he reached Liu Ning’s room, he instantly stopped in front of her door. Unlike usual, this time, Xiao Tian didn’t enter her room immediately.
“Ning’er, can I come in?” Xiao Tian inquired.
As if Liu Ning didn’t want to talk to him, she said nothing. She kept sitting on the bed with a complicated expression.
She had no intention of ignoring Xiao Tian, but because her mind was in a mess, she had no idea what to say to Xiao Tian.
‘Why it has to be you? Why did you lie to me all this time?’
Liu Ning still could not accept everything.
Previously, she was thrilled because the working hours finished earlier than usual so she could spend more time with him, but now, that feeling of happiness had disappeared without a trace.
Because Liu Ning was ignoring him, Xiao Tian tried to open the door.
*Click…
Xiao Tian was surprised when he found out the door was not locked.
At this moment, he wavered whether he should enter her room or not. He wanted to talk to her but at the same time, he was afraid that he would make the situation worse.
‘Sigh. What should I do now?’
After thinking for several seconds, Xiao Tian decided to enter her room.
Despite knowing that Xiao Tian walked into her room, Liu Ning did not try to stop him or tell him to leave. She was even still sitting on the bed and behaving normally as if she were alone in her room.
When Xiao Tian was in front of her, he held her hands and spoke, “Ning’er, I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes. It’s not that I want to hide everything from you, but it’s because I don’t know how to tell you about it.”
Maybe because she still loved Xiao Tian, or maybe because she wanted to give him a chance to explain everything, but when he held her hands, Liu Ning did nothing.
Xiao Tian became even sadder when Liu Ning continued to ignore him. But what made him the saddest was that Liu Ning kept lowering her head as if she didn’t want to see his face.
“I just want to tell you that I love you so much. I want us to live together until death do us part.” Xiao Tian really meant it when he said this. “I hope you can accept my relationship with my mother and aunt or at least try to accept it.”
He then continued, “But if you want to leave me, I won’t stop you. I just want you to remember that my love for you will not fade, now or in the future.”
Since Xiao Tian knew that Liu Ning would continue to ignore him, he walked out of her room. She needed some time alone to think about everything, so he didn’t want to bother her anymore.
‘Ning’er, I hope you will accept our relationship later.’
Xiao Tian then closed the door and walked towards the living room.
“How is it?” Ye Qingyu asked when she saw Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian didn’t answer and only shook his head.
Even though Ye Qingyu and Ye Xueyin had guessed it, it still made them even sadder when Liu Ning still could not accept their relationship with Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian then sat on Shi Fei’s left side and held her hands. “Fei, thank you.”
Shi Fei nodded her head before speaking, “Don’t be sad, little brother. Ning loves you very much, so I’m sure she will accept your relationship with your mother and aunt later.”
She then continued, “I believe she won’t leave you. She just needs some time alone to think about everything. All of this is too sudden for her and her mind couldn’t handle it. That’s why you have to give her some alone time.”
Xiao Tian kissed Shi Fei’s forehead and nodded his head.
‘I hope so.’
Xiao Tian said in his head.
At the same time, Liu Ning was still sitting on the bed. She really had no idea what to say or do.
She still could not accept his relationship with his mother and aunt but at the same time, she didn’t want to break up with him because she loved him so much.
She didn’t know what would happen to her if she went through life without Xiao Tian. Until now, she had always believed that she would be with Xiao Tian forever, but now, she was not sure whether she would live with Xiao Tian forever or not.
Liu Ning dropped her body onto the bed. As she was closing her eyes, a memory suddenly flashed through her mind.
It was a memory of what happened to her three days ago. A memory where Xiao Tian was willing to get beaten up for the sake of her safety.
Even though she still could not accept his illicit relationship, but she became even more unwilling to leave him after remembering his sacrifice for her safety.
‘What should I do?’
Time went by quickly and without realizing it, it was already 07:00 pm. Previously, Liu Ning laid down on the bed again after taking a bath.
‘I’m hungry.’
Liu Ning got out of bed and headed to the dining room.
Xiao Tian could not express the happiness he felt when he saw Liu Ning because he thought she would not have dinner with them.
“Ning’er, come here and sit next to me.” Even though Xiao Tian knew that Liu Ning would refuse, he still said it.
To his surprise, Liu Ning did sit next to him. Not only Xiao Tian, Shi Fei, and the others were also startled.
“Thank you.” Liu Ning spoke after sitting on the chair.
Even though Liu Ning rarely said anything during dinner, Xiao Tian was pleased because she ate all the food he gave her.
After dinner, Liu Ning returned to her room. Because her mind was still in a mess, she decided to sleep.
“Little brother, you have to believe in Ning.” Shi Fei spoke abruptly.
Currently, Shi Fei was lying prone on top of Xiao Tian, in her room. Because she wanted to cheer him up, she dragged him to her room after dinner.
“Sigh.” Xiao Tian sighed before wrapping his arms around her waist.
“Do you want to have sex with me now? Maybe your mind will calm down after having sex with me.” Because Xiao Tian loved having sex with her, Shi Fei decided to say that. Of course, she knew that her words were weird but she still said that.
“No. Let’s do it next time.” Xiao Tian refused without a second thought.
If it was a normal day, he would accept it immediately but right now, he was not in the mood to have sex.
“All right.” Shi Fei responded.
Xiao Tian then shut his eyes.
‘Huft. Never mind. I shouldn’t keep thinking about it. It will only stress me out.’
Xiao Tian realized that he should not think about it too much, or else he would make his other women sad too.
‘I should take care of my other women too.’
