His voice suddenly rang in her ears.”You have an older brother?”

Xia Ning felt her throat tighten. The next moment, she covered her mouth and coughed.”Cough, cough …”

Qiao Yu quickly put down his fork and knife and patted her on the back,”eat slowly, no one’s going to take it from you!” He took a piece of paper and placed it near Xia Ning’s mouth.

Xia Ning took the paper and covered her mouth as she coughed. Her brows twitched and a hint of emotion flashed across her eyes.

She lifted her head and looked at Qiao Yu,”it’s all your fault for cutting the meat into too big a piece.”

Qiao ran chuckled.”Alright, it’s my fault. I’ll cut it smaller.” He continued cutting the steak.

He looked at Qiao Yu’s side profile. He was calm, like he didn’t care about the answer to the question.

But that didn’t mean she could skip the question.

“How did you know I have a brother?” Xia Ning asked.

“You’re talking in your sleep!” Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning,”more than once.” He brought a small piece of steak to her mouth.

Xia Ning opened her mouth and ate the steak. She looked at him, chewed, and swallowed.

When he fed her another piece, she didn’t open her mouth to take it, but only said,””I do have an older brother, but we’re not on good terms.”

Qiao Yu looked at her and didn’t say anything.

Xia Ning continued,”actually, I lied about one thing.” I don’t have any foster parents. The person who adopted me is my biological grandfather, my father’s biological father. If I hadn’t appeared, I would have been the only heir to the family. In fact, he was adopted by my grandfather and was registered under my father’s name. “That’s why he hates me! I’m afraid of water because of him. He once pressed me into the pool and I almost died, but he didn’t dare to kill me. Since then, I’ve had a shadow in my heart. ”

Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and furrowed his brows,””Don’t be afraid, I’ll be here in the future,”

Xia Ning looked at him and chuckled.”I know. Besides, I’m no longer the same person I used to be. I went to United Kingdom to look for him the last time. Did you know that I injured him with my own hands? he’s still lying in bed now, and it’s unknown if he’s Dead or Alive!” If there was a mirror in front of her now, she would be able to see how she looked at the moment. She was ferocious, sinister, and a little crazy.

Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning, his eyes darkened. He reached out and held her hand.

Xia Ning looked into Qiao Yu’s eyes, and her eyes regained some clarity. She lowered her head to avoid his gaze. From the look in his eyes, she could tell how she was just now. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said,””I’m not full yet. ”

Qiao Yu placed the steak in front of Xia Ning’s mouth. She opened her mouth and ate it. The originally delicious and tender steak now tasted like wax.

She regretted showing that face in front of him. It must have looked terrifying, but it was completely subconscious.

After a few bites, Xia Ning couldn’t eat anymore.

Qiao Yu didn’t force her, but he didn’t take away the things on the table either. There were a lot of desserts on the table, and he also bought some fruit and snacks. He put them all in the fridge.

Xia Ning saw Enoch playing video games on the bed and did not disturb him. She walked straight to the balcony and let the sea breeze blow on her face, blowing away all the frustration in her heart.

Behind her, Qiao Yu walked out and hugged Xia Ning from behind,””With me around, everything will get better and better!”

He knew that she was sick, but he had never asked. She knew that it wasn’t that he didn’t care, he just didn’t want her to be upset.

Yes, she really minded it when others said that she was sick! However, this was the truth! There were many things she wanted to say, but she was not in the mood to say them now.
