Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xia Ning cleaned up her face a little and went back into the room to check on Enoch. He was still sleeping and did not have a fever. She felt relieved and walked downstairs.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Xia Ning took a look at time. It was already 6:30 pm and it was getting dark outside.

Maid Wang saw Xia Ning coming down and said with a smile, “Miss Xia, you must be hungry. Dinner is almost ready.”

Gao Wanhua who was reading on the sofa put away the book at once and stood up. She looked at Xia Ning at the staircase, nodded and said, “Miss Xia, is Enoch still sleeping?”

Xia Ning walked down the stairs and walked to Gao Wanhua. She answered, “Enoch is still sleeping. I felt his forehead just now. He doesn’t have a fever.”

Gao Wanhua nodded. “So let him sleep. When he wakes up later, we can feed him something. Let’s go sit at the table.”

“No thanks.” Xia Ning refused politely. “It’s getting late. I should get going.”

Gao Wanhua looked at Xia Ning with shock. “It’s so late. You…”

“Are you leaving?” At the door, Qiao Yu’s voice sounded with some sulkiness.

Xia Ning looked over and saw Qiao Yu walking over with an ugly expression.

“What if Enoch awakes and does not find you?” Qiao Yu walked to Xia Ning and said to her. “Do you want to let him down again?”

Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu and said calmly, “I’ll be here again tomorrow.”

“If so, you shouldn’t go back tonight. Otherwise, he will be all over the place when he wakes up at night.” Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and frowned. “Are you afraid that we don’t have enough rooms for you to stay?”

“Of course not!” Xia Ning said directly.

“So stay!” Qiao Yu did not give her a chance to change her mind. “Let’s go eat first.” As he spoke, he walked to the dining table.

Xia Ning watched Qiao Yu’s back and thought, isn’t it weird to stay at his place? Back then, it was even harder for her to get into the house.

But staying at the Qiao house did make it easier for her to take care of Enoch. She was just afraid to disturb them. That was why she wanted to leave. If he did not mind, there was nothing for her to mind either.

“Sorry for the disturbance!” Xia Ning nodded and said to Gao Wanhua.

Gao Wanhua looked at Xia Ning and said with a smile, “We haven’t had so many people in the house like tonight. So it’s no disturbance at all. I’m very happy that you can stay and have dinner.”

Xia Ning heard this and immediately understood Gao Wanhua. Qiao Yu’s father passed away four years ago, so Gao Wanhua must have been somewhat lonely. Naturally, the Qiao house was pretty quiet too. She looked at Gao Wanhua and said, “Please don’t feel too sad. What’s gone is gone. I don’t think he would want the living to feel sad about him.”

“Look what I just said, making you worry about me. Don’t be too concerned. In fact, Qiao Yu’s father was a silent one when he was alive. It’s the same with or without him,” Gao Wanhua said with a smile, liking Xia Ning even more. She was definitely a smart girl who knew what was going on around her. Most importantly, she had a great personality. She was definitely happy with a daughter-in-law like this. Too bad her son was so bad back then, otherwise, his father might be able to get a cup of tea 1 from the daughter-in-law too.

Xia Ning looked at Gao Wanhua. How could it be the same? Her father was also not very talkative. But ever since he was gone, mum definitely lost some of her spirit.

“I apologize for my rudeness when I saw you the first time,” Gao Wanhua looked at Xia Ning and said sincerely. “Please forgive me, Miss Xia.”

Xia Ning said calmly. “Madam Qiao, don’t worry. It’s all in the past.”

Gao Wanhua saw Xia Ning’s calm face and was not sure if she really did not care or was just being polite. But she was the one who was in the wrong. It was normal for Xia Ning to not be happy about that.

“Don’t call me Madam Qiao anymore. If Enoch hears it again, he’ll know we are not close.” Gao Wanhua looked at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning frowned a little, remembering what Enoch said before. She looked at Gao Wanhua and a word suddenly appeared subconsciously in her mind. Mum?
