Chapter 678: Stay Here Like A Married Couple
It was very quiet in the room and they could hear the snow hitting the window glass.
Easing herself into Qiao Yu’s arms, Xia Ning said in a low voice. “I’m serious. Why did you come here all of a sudden?” S City wasn’t that far, but it was still more than an hour’s drive away. Why did he come here at this late an hour?
Qiao Yu kissed Xia Ning on the tip of her nose, then on her forehead. Pressing his forehead against hers, he said in a husky voice, “Because I missed you and I wanted to see you. I want to be with you. I want to hold you the way I’m holding you now.”
Xia Ning stared blankly into the air. She should have guessed it when he asked her address in that unusual tone.
Was it because she said “I miss you”?
Xia Ning buried her head deeper into his arms, then said in a tiny voice. “What happened tonight felt like a dream.”
Pressing a hand on Xia Ning’s head, Qiao Yu stared into the air with a brooding look in his eyes. He felt the same way.
He never thought that she would give him an answer. In fact, he didn’t want much. All he asked for was a little response when he showed his love. A tiny bit would suffice.
She still had a place for that person in her heart and there was nothing he could do about it. He would try to accept that reality.
“Why didn’t you answer my phone call?” Qiao Yu asked all of a sudden.
After some hesitation, Xia Ning told him about running into Zheng Haodong.
Qiao Yu’s face darkened when he heard that. How dare someone like that tried to take Xia Ning away from him? That guy had no right!
Looking up, Xia Ning grinned at Qiao Yu. “I didn’t know you did all that for me. Come to think of it, you can be so dumb.” She would never know what happened if he didn’t tell her. She would never have learned how much he cared for her.
“I didn’t want to bother you with those things,” said Qiao Yu lightly. He wasn’t the kind that would show off in front of a woman he loved, especially when a rival in love was concerned. He didn’t want to accidentally make Xia Ning feel bad for that guy. It would be against Qiao Yu’s purpose.
Xia Ning felt mischievous all of a sudden. Pinching Qiao Yu’s cheeks, she said, “Promise me you’ll tell me everything you do for me in the future?”
If other people ever dared to put their hands close to his face, let alone pinch his cheeks, Qiao Yu would scare them off with an intimidating look.
However, he nodded obediently when he saw the smile on Xia Ning’s face. “No problem.”
“Good boy!” Xia Ning nodded in satisfaction. Such interactions made her feel relaxed.
Checking the time, Xia Ning to Qiao Yu. “It’s getting late. Are you going back or staying the night here?”
Qiao Yu looked into Xia Ning’s eyes and said in a suggestive tone. “Do you want me to leave or stay?”
Xia Ning looked away. “Of course I want you to go back. Don’t you have to go to work tomorrow? Plus, mum is home with Enoch alone… Hm…”
Before she could go one, her head was caught and a kiss shut her up.
Her eyes widened as she stared at the handsome face within finger’s touch. She punched him on the chest and the next second, the world turned upside down. Qiao Yu had picked her up by her waist.
“Qiao Yu, what are you doing?” Steadying herself by holding onto Qiao Yu’s clothes, Xia Ning asked in astonishment.
Qiao Yu looked at her with eyes that were frighteningly dark. “I’m staying here with my wife, of course, and we’ll do things all married couples will do.” After that, he walked toward the king-sized bed.
