Chapter 603: Am I Too Shabby for You to Show People?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Late at night, a black Bentley was running steadily on the road.
Inside the car, Xia Ning looked at the man driving next to her. In the dim night, his side profile was stiff. He looked nervous.
She knew that he was angry!
In fact, she was very surprised by his arrival tonight. She vaguely felt that the balance between her and him was changing gradually.
Previously, Qiao Yu had been like a block of ice. She had used all sorts of methods but could not warm him. But now, he was like a blazing fire that she had to withdraw from. She was even cornered without a route of retreat.
“Why don’t you speak?” His voice came like a meteor lacerating the darkness of the night, too abrupt for her to react.
“Huh?” Xia Ning looked at him in doubt.
Qiao Yu also looked towards Xia Ning with his dimmed pitch-black eyes, “Don’t you want to say anything to me?”
Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu’s black pupils without a word.
At this moment, she really did not want to talk to him. But she did have some words that she could not tell him.
Silence fell over the car temporarily. Qiao Yu braked to stop the car by the road.
“I’m very angry.” His low voice came.
Xia Ning turned to look straight ahead as she said lightly, “I’m sorry.”
What he wanted was not her apology. Qiao Yu looked at the woman beside him. He did not want to quarrel with her. He was just upset, always feeling that she was like sand in his palm, which could slip away from his hand at any time.
He did not like the feeling of possibly losing her. Perhaps it was because he had been a businessman for a long time, or it was because of his nature, he liked the feeling that everything was under his control.
Qiao Yu put his hand on the back of Xia Ning’s seat, turned to face her directly, and said coldly, “Who on earth am I to you now?”
Xia Ning gazed at his pitch-black eyes in a daze. Unexpectedly, the day has come when he wanted a name to their relationship, which was totally different from the past.
Five years ago, it was she who longed desperately to walk with him in front of people and to hear him say to others that she was his wife.
Xia Ning looked away as she said frankly, “I won’t make our relationship public.”
“Why?” Qiao Yu got nervous and frowned more deeply, “Am I too shabby for you to show people?” The temperature in the car instantly dropped.
Xia Ning paused for a while. Since he was the dignified chairman of Shengshi Group, who dared to say that he was too shabby to show people? She explained, “Brother Lin knows about our relationship. As for others, I’m not acquainted with them and there is no need to tell them. Furthermore, I don’t want people to focus on Enoch. He is still a child.”
“Don’t you hope for Enoch to appear before people and tell them candidly who his parents are?” Qiao Yu stared at Xia Ning intently.
Xia Ning looked at him with a flicker of emotion in her clear eyes. Her eyes fell as she said sarcastically, “Yes, he will tell people candidly who his parents are and then wait for those journalists to discover the fact that his parents have once divorced? After that, everybody will know that his father brought him up while his mother once abandoned him?! Even our Cambridge experience will be unveiled. What will happen to me? What will happen to him?”
Qiao Yu’s breathing paused momentarily. Looking at the woman surrounded by icy walls, he suddenly felt powerless. He knew she could not forget his mistake five years ago so quickly. These days, they both neglected it. But the reality was always cruel. How could she pretend that those things had not happened?
“It was my fault. I should not have been too anxious.” Qiao Yu reached out to embrace Xia Ning, “I won’t force you anymore.”
Xia Ning leaned into Qiao Yu’s arms while her eyes looked clear and cold.
