Qiao Yu came out of the bathroom and saw Xia Ning standing by the bed with her phone in her hand, lost in thought. He couldn’t help but ask,””What’s wrong?”

Xia Ning kept her phone and looked at him. She shook her head and said,””It’s nothing,”

Qiao Yu approached her and placed his hand on her shoulder,””Is there something on your mind?”

Xia Ning looked into his dark eyes and suddenly remembered something. She asked directly,””How did you feel when you first heard me call someone else’s name in my sleep?”

Qiao ran’s brows furrowed slightly when she heard this. She looked into her clear eyes, and a faint light flashed in them. She was asking this question very seriously, and she really wanted to know his answer.

Qiao Yu replied,”I hate myself.”

“Ah?” Xia Ning looked at him in confusion.

Qiao Yu continued,”I hate myself for not controlling you properly. I let you fall in love with someone else.”

“It’s that simple?” Xia Ning didn’t believe him. She poked Qiao Yu’s chest.”It looks like you don’t care much about me.”

Qiao Yu furrowed his brows and looked at her,””Do you really want to hear the truth?”

“Of course!” Xia Ning snorted. Since she had already asked, why would she want him to brush her off?

Qiao Yu was silent for a moment.”I wish I could kill that man. I want him to disappear from your sight forever.”

“Don’t you want to take revenge on me?” Xia Ning continued to ask.

Qiao Yu looked at her,”do you want me to tell you the truth?”

“Of course.”

Qiao Yu nodded,”yes!”

He’s serious. Xia Ning glared at him.”You …” Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed.

Qiao Yu bit down hard on her lips and looked at her with a burning gaze,”I want to, but I can’t bear to.”

Xia Ning looked at him and was touched. She said slowly,””You’re the best. ”

Qiao Yu looked at her and said in a low voice,”now you know I’m good. Isn’t it too late?”

Xia Ning snorted and said,”so what if it’s too late? what can you do to me?”

“I don’t dare to.” He changed the topic.”Why are you suddenly asking me this question?” It wasn’t easy to get his wife’s praise, so he wasn’t stupid enough to ruin the current atmosphere.

Xia Ning came back to her senses and thought for a while before saying,””I just suddenly thought of this.” She suddenly thought that Li Xiao had probably gone through something similar with Qiao Yu. Otherwise, she wouldn’t hate her so much even though she had already given up on Qiao Yu. Of course, she might be overthinking.

“What?” Qiao Yu looked at her confusedly,”is it related to that phone call?”

Xia Ning nodded.”Not really, but Jin Yan called me just now. He wants to treat me to a meal and introduce me to his girlfriend.”

“Yes.” Qiao Yu nodded without any expression.

Xia Ning tugged at his hand.”Come with me.”

Qiao Yu looked at her as if he wanted to see something from her face. But other than a smile, there was no other expression on her face. He nodded,”okay.”

“Go to bed early. I’m tired after a long day of walking.” Xia Ning let go of Qiao Yu, turned around, and went to her side of the bed.

Seeing Xia Ning close her eyes and fall asleep, Qiao Yu smiled. She was just acting cute because she didn’t want him to disturb her. He lay down beside her, turned off the lights, and hugged her. He didn’t do anything else and just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Nothing came out of nowhere. There must be a reason why she suddenly asked him. Although he didn’t know what had happened, he was sure that she cared about her more and more.

She had a meal with Jin Yan at night, but mu Zichen came again in the afternoon.
