Chapter 1766: What Position does He Occupy?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mao Nana lowered her head and did not dare to look at the man who she was willing to give up everything for his love. She had never cared about Qu Xiujie’s attitude and what made her feel pain was never his distant attitude.
“You… What do you mean?”
Qu Xiujie was a little surprised to see Mao Nana before him. He had never seen her like this, let alone asking him these questions herself.
All these years, it was not that he had never played with other women’s feelings but this Mao Nana was the first to make him helpless. However, Qu Xiujie realized that he did not know how to answer her question.
Qu Xiujie’s brows were cold as he looked at Mao Nana with sorrow in his eyes.
“Nana, what do you want to tell me?”
Qu Xiujie asked boldly.
Only then did Mao Nana look up. Her beautiful eyes were already red. As long as Qu Xiujie was willing to believe it, the moment she lowered her head, the tears in her eyes had already rolled down her cheeks.
“Uncle, I just want to ask, in your heart, what am I, Mao Nana, to you? Am I a pitiful and homeless sidekick or a shameless woman who has no shame but wants to follow you?”
Qu Xiujie choked at Mao Nana’s question and could not say anything.
“Nana, why are you asking this? Tell me; if something happens to you, I might be able to help.”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes flashed and he purposely ignored the sorrow in Mao Nana’s eyes.
A person who grew up in a gang would never be able to see a woman cry quietly in front of him. This was the sad trait of a man and also the useless side of a man. However, before Qu Xiujie could get Mao Nana’s reply, Butler Charlie walked in with a water bottle.
The sensitive atmosphere in the kitchen did not stop Charlie from opening the kitchen door.
“What are you guys doing? Nana, are you done washing the dishes?”
A foreign Chinese voice sounded beside them. Mao Nana turned around and looked at the bowl and chopsticks that were still soaking in the sink. She said softly, “It’s almost done. You can put them away later. Butler Charlie, what do you want?”
“I want a pot of boiling water and Madam wants to make tea.”
Butler Charlie passed the pot to Mao Nana.
Just as Mao Nana was about to receive it, Qu Xiujie, snatched it away. His attitude was rude and unreasonable. “Old Charlie, can’t you pour the water yourself? Why did you ask Nana to pour water for you?”
Perhaps, Butler Charlie was used to Qu Xiujie’s shock and did not get angry. He merely looked at Qu Xiujie with disdain and explained helplessly, “That’s because Nana is closer. If not for her standing here, I wouldn’t need her to pour water for me. You are the old thing. What are you surprised about?”
Butler Charlie replied smugly and when he saw the change in Qu Xiujie’s expression, he continued, “Did you bully Nana?”
“Why are you guys all saying that I bullied her? God can testify that I didn’t bully her. If you don’t believe me, go ask Nana.”
Qu Xiujie’s face was filled with disbelief. Since when did Mao Nana’s position in the house become higher than his? As the owner of the house, Zhang Manhua actually followed Mao Nana’s wishes and did not care about Qu Xiujie’s wishes.
“If only you didn’t bully Nana. If you did, perhaps I can help her get justice.”
After getting the water, Butler Charlie turned to leave the kitchen. Qu Xiujie, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks when he heard Mao Nana’s words.
“Uncle, you still care about me, right?”
Mao Nana was very surprised. She saw that Qu Xiujie’s actions earlier showed that she had a place in his heart but she was not sure if it was big or small.
Perhaps, everyone had a place in Qu Xiujie’s heart.
Qu Xiujie stood at the door and could neither leave nor return. The frustration on his face almost paralyzed him.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
She decided to play dumb.
Qu Xiujie stood at the door and thought for a while before turning around to ask Mao Nana, “Mao Nana, what question do you want to ask me?”
“I want to know what position I hold in your heart. That’s all I want to know.”
When Mao Nana saw Qu Xiujie turn around, she thought that there was a turn of events but before he could answer her question, she received a huge blow.
“Mao Nana, my heart is like this dragon fruit and you are a small seed in my heart. That is to say, in my heart, there can be thousands of Nana and thousands of Qu Xiujie. Whether you are important or not, you should know it yourself.”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes were apathetic as he looked at Mao Nana. Although he was enduring the pain in his heart, he still said everything that he should not have said. Looking at the sorrow in the woman’s eyes, Qu Xiujie realized that he had really done something wrong.
However, there was no turning back.
Mao Nana was shocked as she pondered over the meaning of Qu Xiujie’s words. The more she thought about it, the more she could not understand the relationship between the dragon fruit and the seed. Could it be that one had to use fruit as an analogy to love someone?
When Mao Nana finally understood what Qu Xiujie meant, she was making a pastry for him in the kitchen. However, before he could return to her side, the cream in her hand dropped to the floor.
There was still some cream left on the white tile. No matter how hard Mao Nana tried, she could not wipe it clean. The slippery marks on the tile made it easy to fall.
Plop! Mao Nana’s long legs formed an “A” shape on the floor. The pain all over her body and the coldness on the tiles made her feel as if she had just woken up from a dream.
“What’s wrong?”
Because of the sudden noise in the kitchen, Qu Xiujie, who was sitting in the living room with his heart in a mess, was very shocked. He rushed to the kitchen and happened to see Mao Nana lying in an indecent position in front of him. He happened to see a scene that moved his heart.
“I…”
Mao Nana frowned and felt pain all over her body.
