After being interrupted by the old man, Xia Ning couldn’t be bothered to act like a kind grandfather and a filial grandson anymore. It wasn’t just the old man, even she felt awkward.
After all, she had “not gotten along” with the old master for more than ten years, and they were used to the way they interacted before.
Xia Ning took a sip of the soup and ate the vegetables that Qiao sa had given her. She did not say anything else.
Enoch was the only one in the restaurant who occasionally spoke to the old man. Everyone maintained basic table manners.
After dinner, Enoch followed the old man back home as usual. As Xia Ning had eaten a little too much that night, she asked Qiao Yu to take her for a walk in the garden.
In the garden, Xia Ning was sitting on the swing, and Qiao Yu was pushing her gently from behind.
“Why do you believe that su Jingcheng would help you?” Xia Ning suddenly asked,”why do you believe that the old master will accept you?”
Qiao Yu stopped swinging and walked over to Xia Ning. He squatted down and looked at her.”Is this the reason why you’ve been so down the entire night?”
“Am I unhappy?” Xia Ning asked, looking at him.
Qiao Yu nodded,”it’s obvious.”
“Then you must be depressed.” Xia Ning replied.
Qiao Yu held onto her hand and replied,””Actually, you know the reason why Su Jingcheng helped me and the reason why the old man accepted me, but you don’t want to admit it.”
Looking into Qiao Yu’s dark eyes, Xia Ning smiled and nodded,”you’re right, I know. I just find it hard to believe. Am I that important?”
……
Qiao Yu lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand,””Trust me, you’re worth everything. You’re worth it for us to give you the best things in the world.”
“You guys are the only ones who treat me like a treasure.” Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu, her voice almost breaking,”you see, my brother and grandfather are very good to me. So if you bully me, they’ll teach you a lesson.”
“Mm! In the future, only you can bully me. I won’t dare to bully you. ” Qiao Yu looked at her and replied.
Xia Ning laughed out loud.”You were the one who said it. I heard it all. Your daughter heard it too.”
“Yes.” Qiao Yu nodded. His gaze fell on Xia Ning’s stomach and his hand subconsciously fell on it.
Xia Ning glared at him and said,”what are you doing? you can’t touch it now.”
“Yes, I can!” Qiao Yu said with certainty.
Xia Ning chuckled and said,”people say that a pregnant woman is stupid for three years. That’s what they mean by a mother, but I’ve realized that you’re stupid as well.”
“My daughter is smart. She must be different from other children.” Qiao Yu retorted.
Xia Ning wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a smile,””Okay, okay. Our Mr. Qiao’s daughter is smart. She really wants her father to carry her. Mr. Qiao, what should we do?”
Seeing the mischievous look on Xia Ning’s face, Qiao ran kissed her on the lips and looked at her gently.”Of course I have to listen to my daughter.” He then got up and carried Xia Ning by the waist.
Xia Ning wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a smile,””Mr. Qiao, you’ll become a slave to your daughters.”
“Compared to becoming a slave to my daughter, I would rather become a slave to my wife. I don’t know if Mrs. Qiao will give me this opportunity.” Qiao Yu said as he looked at Xia Ning in his arms.
Xia Ning raised her eyebrows and said,”since Mr. Qiao has made such a sincere request, how can I refuse? in the future, if I’m right, you can’t be wrong. If I want you to go east, you can’t go west.”
“Alright!” Qiao Yu agreed without hesitation.
Xia Ning looked at him and raised her eyebrows.”Then, take off your clothes first!”
Qiao Yu was speechless.
