Seeing Jin Yan’s seductive look, Xia Ning chuckled. “Spit it out. Were you reading too many Overbearing CEO type of romance novels for your first film? I promise I will not laugh at you.”
“Ah, I’m being so sincere and you still don’t believe me. Su Xiao Ke, you are so boring!”
Xia Ning rolled her eyes at him. “Cut it. You are the only interesting one. Everyone else is a piece of wood.” As she spoke, she put down the coffee cup and said to Jin Yan, “I’m hungry now. Can you please make me dinner, President Jin?”
Jin Yan saw Xia Ning’s cute look and chuckled. He drank some coffee, stood up and walked towards her. He then patted her on the head. “Sure, I’ll cook for Su Xiao Ke right away. Otherwise, if she’s hungry, she’ll start a riot.”
“Don’t mess with my hair, Jin Yan. I’m not a kid!” Xia Ning turned around and glared at that figure who was taking the groceries into the kitchen. She suddenly smiled. It was actually a pretty good feeling.
Had she not met Jin Yan, she would not know what her life would be. Would she be living in the cage of sin forever and not be able to get out?
But fortunately, she met him and was saved.
“Su Xiao Ke, why are you frozen? Come over and wash the vegetables for me.” Jin Yan put the groceries out on the table and noticed that Xia Ning did not follow. He looked up and yelled at her at once.
“Coming,” Xia Ning answered and walked over immediately.
Jin Yan instructed at once, “Cilantro, asparagus, and tomatoes. Wash and cut them for me. Dice the cilantro, cut the asparagus into pieces and slice the tomatoes to make a cold dish.”
“Yes!” Xia Ning answered. She turned on the tap and started to wash the vegetables at once.
It got dark outside.
In the Qiao house, Qiao Yu took Enoch down from upstairs. There were signs of tears on Enoch’s face. Obviously, he had just cried.
“What’s going on here?” Gao Wanhua looked at Enoch’s sad face and walked over at once.
Enoch looked at Gao Wanhua and said sadly, “Grandma, I want Mummy…”
“Your Mummy stepped out for something. She’ll be back later,” Gao Wanhua said at once. She turned to Qiao Yu. “Call Xia Ning.”
Qiao Yu nodded and walked to the sofa with Enoch to sit down. Then, he took out his phone and called Xia Ning’s number.
Enoch stared at the phone in Qiao Yu’s hands as if he was going to take the phone the second the phone was connected.
In the kitchen, Jin Yan was stir-frying the food skillfully, while Xia Ning was adding things to the pot. Suddenly, she heard the phone ringing.
“I’m picking up a call!” As she spoke, she dried her hands with a dishcloth and went to the couch to grab the phone. The call was from Qiao Yu. She picked it up directly.
“Hello!”
“Where are you?” Qiao Yu’s voice sounded from the other side of the phone at once.
Xia Ning frowned a little and said calmly, “Is Enoch awake?”
“He woke up and could not find his mum, so he cried.”
Xia Ning heard that and her expression changed a little. She said at once, “Can you let me speak to him?”
“What if I won’t?”
“What do you mean?” Xia Ning frowned even more.
“I’ll let Enoch talk to you.” As he spoke, there was some noise from the phone. Soon, it returned to normal. Enoch’s clear voice sounded at once. “Mummy, where did you go? Do you not want me again?”
“Why would Mummy not want you? I just have something to do outside. I’ll be back once I’m done,” Xia Ning said at once.
“So when are you coming back, Mummy?”
“Very soon. You should listen to your Grandma and Daddy.”
“Okay. Mummy, you should come back early,” Enoch asked.
After that, it was some more noise and then Qiao Yu’s voice again, “Do you want me to pick you up?”
Xia Ning was caught by surprise. What did he mean? Suddenly, Jin Yan’s voice sounded. “Where’s the pepper?”
