Chapter 1605: The shadow of a love rival!
Translator: 549690339
On Tuesday afternoon, there weren’t many people in the restaurant, so it was a little quiet.
Xia Ning watched quietly as the man in the cap walked in. They were seated by the window, so they were far away from each other and would not bump into each other if they were not careful.
He really did look a lot thinner. The hand holding the cap had distinct joints, and his face was almost completely covered by the brim of the cap.
Qiao ran followed her line of sight, and there was no emotion in her dark eyes.
“I want to drink water!” Xia Ning suddenly said.
Qiao Yu retracted his gaze, picked up the cup, tested the temperature of the water, and brought it to Xia Ning’s mouth.
Xia Ning took a small sip and stopped drinking. She picked up her phone from the table and started scrolling through Weibo.
Not long after, the food arrived. Qiao Yu helped Xia Ning with the food and she was already full after a few bites.
Qiao Yu wanted her to eat more, but she felt nauseated before she could even eat. He had no choice but to help her to the bathroom.
She vomited on the sink, and her face was a little pale. In fact, she had been vomiting a lot less recently. She didn’t know what was wrong with her today.
She turned on the tap and washed herself, then looked up at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a little messy, and her face was pale.
She tidied up her hair, calmed her breathing, and walked out.
When Qiao ran saw her coming out, she immediately went over to help her.
“I’m not a cripple, I don’t need you to help me. ” Xia Ning said with a smile.
Qiao Yu looked at her,”you look so pale and you’re still trying to act tough!”
“Can’t you say something nicer?” Xia Ning said unhappily.
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and replied,”I want to help you.”
“You’re getting more and more glib with your tongue!” Xia Ning glared at him.
Qiao Yu didn’t say anything. He held her hand and was about to turn the corner when suddenly, a figure appeared.
Qiao Yu immediately pulled Xia Ning into his arms and placed his other hand in front of her stomach to prevent himself from touching it.
The man stepped aside and Qiao Yu led Xia Ning forward.
Xia Ning lowered her head and saw a tall, thin man from the corner of her eye. He was wearing a cap on his head, but she couldn’t see his face clearly … She lowered her eyes and looked at her feet.
Vaguely, she felt a gaze following her from behind, and she felt a little annoyed.
Back in his seat, Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and asked,”do you still want to eat?”
Xia Ning shook her head.”I’m not eating. I’m so tired. I want to sleep.”
“Then let’s go back!” Qiao Yu called for the waiter to pay the bill.
The two of them left the restaurant and returned to the car.
Xia Ning leaned back in her seat with her eyes closed. The scene of Jin Yan reappeared in her mind. She told herself not to care about him anymore, but she would subconsciously click on the news about him. When she saw him in front of her, her gaze would stop.
Perhaps it wasn’t long enough for her to be unable to forget this person. Who asked this person to take root in his heart? it had nothing to do with love, but he was an indispensable part.
“Put on the blindfold so you can sleep more soundly,” said Qiao ran when she saw that she had her eyes closed.
Xia Ning opened her eyes and looked at the gentle-looking man beside her. She bit her lip and said in a low voice,””I just saw Jin Yan there.”
“En!” Qiao ran responded without any expression on her face.
“I saw some news about him on my phone today,” Xia Ning continued.
“En!” Qiao Yu nodded, his face still calm.
Xia Ning tugged at his sleeve and said,”don’t be angry. There’s nothing going on between us.”
Qiao Yu held onto her hand and asked,”you think I’ll be angry?”
Xia Ning nodded.
Qiao Yu shook his head,”I’m not angry. In fact, I’m happy that you care about what I think.”
Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, Xia Ning smiled and threw herself into his arms.”Thank you.”
Qiao Yu hugged her and patted the back of her hand,”you’re talking nonsense again.”
He was not lying. Jin Yan was no longer his love rival. Perhaps, from the beginning to the end, he had only been his shadow.
