The Blind Lover Novel - Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Sleepover

Qin Yu and Ning Chen returned home and immediately caught the fragrance of bone broth from within.

Her stomach growled.

Before she left, she only ate a little. That wasn’t enough and after a whole day’s work, she was starving.

Ah Bi brought out a bowl of soup. Qin Yu was about to take a sip when someone came in and said, “Young Mistress, Madam Qu and Miss Shi are here.”

Oh, they really came.

Qin Yu tugged on Ning Chen, who gripped her hand in reassurance. Don’t worry, he’s here.

A moment later, Shi Xiao and Qu Li entered.

In such cold weather, Shi Xiao and Qu Li wore a set of rather thin clothes. It was supposed to be worn in late fall instead.

Qin Yu knew what was going on — they couldn’t afford their down jackets at all.

Although Shi Xiao and Qu Li had put on a thick layer of makeup, it couldn’t hide their current sorry state.

As soon as they entered the door, Qu Li immediately rushed up and grabbed Qin Yu’s hand. “Xiao Yu, it’s really been a long time. Why don’t you miss us? Come and visit us when you have time. Your father misses you. He told me he’s not used to a house without you.”

Qu Li’s hand was extremely cold. Qin Yu’s warm little hand, which was hidden under her thick clothes, shivered when she grabbed it.

Ning Chen seemed to sense something. He grabbed Qin Yu and pulled her behind him, forcefully separating Qu Li, who wanted to hang on to Qin Yu.

“Xiao Yu is doing well in the Ning family. There’s no need for Madam Qu to worry about her.”

Ning Chen emphasized the word “worry about”. His gaze was indifferent as he looked in Qu Li’s direction.

Everyone knew that Qu Li was not worried about Qin Yu, but her betrothal money.

Qu Li’s expression turned ugly hearing Ning Chen’s sarcastic words as she struggled to contain her anger. She turned to Shi Xiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, it’s been a long time since you’ve seen your sister. Go play with your sister for a while. I’ll chat with Mr. Ning.”

Ning Chen frowned when he heard Qu Li’s words. Just as he was about to say something, Qin Yu pulled Ning Chen back.

Ning Chen could only restrain his thoughts of chasing these two away.

Shi Xiao had a half-smile on her lips. Seeing that Ning Chen could not see anything, she could not be bothered to put on a fake smile. She went to Qin Yu and stretched out her hand that was as cold as Qu Li’s and grabbed Qin Yu’s wrist. Although her eyes were cold… her tone was extremely gentle and affectionate. “Xiao Yu, do you miss me? Let’s go to your room and have a chat. Let’s go.”

As her voice fell, Shi Xiao dragged Qin Yu away forcefully.

Qin Yu’s body curled up slightly, pretending that she was still very afraid and dared not disobey.

Seeing that Qin Yu’s reaction was exactly the same as when she saw her when she was young, Shi Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

However, her smile quickly turned cold again.

Both Qu Li and her spent two hours on the bus ride here. It was so cold they almost turned into icicles. However, when they entered the door, they felt a little dizzy from the heat of the Ning family’s heater.

It had been such a long time since they found themselves in a heated room, as if a lifetime had passed.

When she thought about how Qin Yu had been lying in such a warm and comfortable mansion all day, enjoying her comfortable life with several servants in waiting, Shi Xiao felt that the hatred and jealousy in her heart were about to swallow her up.

Why did this fool deserve all the good things?

She should have been the one living here instead.

Shi Xiao’s grip became tighter. Qin Yu was in so much pain that her voice sounded like she was crying. “It hurts, it hurts… Don’t hurt me!”

They were on the way to Qin Yu’s room. Not only did Shi Xiao not let go, she stretched out her other hand and grabbed Qin Yu’s neck fiercely. “What are you howling for? Shut up!”

They entered the room and Shi Xiao pushed Qin Yu onto the floor. She lay on the soft and comfortable bed in the room and closed her eyes to feel the warmth and softness of the blanket under the bed.

Shi Xiao narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. She was so reluctant to get up.

The cold and hard bed in the house was almost impossible to fall asleep on. This was big and soft. Lying on it was so comfortable that one could fall asleep immediately.

Qin Yu was thrown to the ground by Shi Xiao. She got onto her feet. She timidly glanced at Shi Xiaoxiao who was rolling around on her bed and said in a nervous and careful tone, “Xiaoxiao, you…”

“Shut up!” Shi Xiao was furious when she heard Qin Yu’s voice.

She just resisted the urge to strangle Qin Yu with much difficulty. Now, this stupid fool still annoying her!

Shi Xiao climbed down from the bed and reached out to hold Qin Yu’s collar. “You will tell Ning Chen to let me live here and play with you. Do you hear me? !”

She did not want to stay in that shabby rental house anymore. She wanted to stay at the Ning family! She wanted to sleep in Qin Yu’s room!

Qin Yu widened her eyes in shock. After a long while, she mumbled, “But Xiaoxiao… Chen, he, he doesn’t like strangers in his house…”

Shi Xiao did not want to hear what Qin Yu said at all. She moved closer to Qin Yu’s face with a gloomy expression and said coldly, “Don’t you know how to beg him? Can’t you just kneel down and beg him?”
