Chapter 561: Before Bedtime

As soon as Xia Ning went out of the bathroom in her nightgown, she saw Qiao Yu sitting on the sofa playing with his cell phone. She showed surprise, for she did not find him enjoying playing with his cell phone before.

Now it seemed that everything changed. Frankly speaking, he seemed to be more like a present-day young man.

Being aware of her movement in the room, Qiao Yu turned off his cell phone, stood up, and said to Xia Ning, “During your bath, your cell phone rung many times.”

Xia Ning nodded with an instant flicker of emotion in her eyes, “Thank you.” Saying so, she went straight to the bedside table to pick up her cell phone.

“I’ll go and take a bath too.” Qiao Yu passed her, took his gown and entered the bathroom.

Xia Ning turned to see Qiao Yu’s back and then looked at her cell phone on the table with a flash of light in her eyes. He did not touch her cell phone.

In the bathroom, Qiao Yu did not have a bath immediately but calmed himself down instead.

Just now, he walked towards the bedside table but stopped midway to return.

He preferred to ignore the name rather than see it and get angry and jealous. He was afraid that he could not control himself like last night.

He did not want to irritate her, nor did he want to add a layer of ice to their originally unstable relationship. So, he forced himself not to see it and not to care about it.

She seemed to open the door to the balcony to make a call.

As soon as Qiao Yu turned on the water heater, the sound of the rushing water covered all the voices outside.

Xia Ning stood on the balcony with Jin Yan’s soft voice in her ears.

“Ke, why did you suddenly go to Qiao’s house?”

Xia Ning’s eyes slightly fell. Jin Yan had always been like this. Although he was questioning, his mild tone hid it completely.

“Jin Yan, there is something more complex than I thought. There is an emotion I cannot let go.”

“Do you still love Qiao Yu?!”

Xia Ning slightly curled her lips. Why did all the people around her like to ask this question?

“Life is not only about love.”

When she was young, she did not understand this, because she could only find love. Except for love, she was helpless in establishing either friendship or relationship with existing family members. Or, she did not want to make an effort, because she could not help feeling disappointed after seeing the essentials of many things.

This was also the reason why she gave up on love, for the love she expected was not as good as what she had imagined.

“Ke, you are making it hard on yourself.”

Was she making it hard on herself? Xia Ning looked upwards and saw that the moon was a little round today. She said in a low voice, “No, I’m not making it hard on myself. I’ve already received the most precious gift in this world. The past resentment is now gradually fading away. I’m grateful to God.”

“Ke, I understand you. But you don’t love him! You’ll suffer afterward!”

Xia Ning closed her eyes without a word. This question was not in her mind at all.

While Xia Ning came in after the call, Qiao Yu stepped out of the bathroom.

Seeing his naked chest and undefined abdominal muscles, Xia Ning turned her head uneasily.

Qiao Yu looked at her clothes and frowned, “Why didn’t you wear one more garment? What if you catch a cold?”

Xia Ning paused. Looking at her thin nightgown, she nodded, “I know.”

Qiao Yu went to the air conditioner control panel to raise the temperature in the room and turned to say to Xia Ning, “Lie down.”

“…” Xia Ning frowned, standing still.
