Chapter 448: I’m Only Forgiving You For Mummy’s Sake

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xia Ning frowned a little, remembering what Enoch said before. She looked at Gao Wanhua and a word suddenly appeared subconsciously in her mind. Mum?

After she got married to Qiao Yu, she was hoping to see his family one day and call them Mum and Dad. But now, it was all in the past.

As if she knew what Xia Ning was thinking, Gao Wanhua said with a smile, “You can call me Auntie. If you call me Madam Qiao, Enoch will not be happy if he hears it.”

Xia Ning heard this and felt relieved at once. She should call her that based on social rules. “Auntie,” she said at once.

Gao Wanhua nodded with satisfaction. Let it progress step by step.

But she was still concerned about her son. Xia Ning’s attitude was obviously saying that she wanted nothing to do with him, not even with words.

At the table, Gao Wanhua was sitting at the host’s seat, while Xia Ning and Qiao Yu were sitting across each other.

Gao Wanhua looked at Xia Ning and said with a smile, “Miss Xia, I don’t know what you like. I only know that you are from S City as well, so I made some local food. I hope you like them.”

Xia Ning looked at her and answered, “Thank you for the dinner, Auntie. I really like them.”

“Then eat more.”

Xia Ning nodded and started to eat.

No one talked at the table. There was no noise even when they were getting food. The air was unspeakably tense.

Xia Ning’s eyes were only focused on her own bowl and the dish in front of her. No talking during meals and before going to bed. These two rules had accompanied her when she grew up.

Suddenly, a piece of chicken appeared in her bowl. Xia Ning’s hand stopped for a second. Then the voice of the person across her sounded. “You like chicken. The chicken today is good.”

She looked at Qiao Yu across her. He was picking up some other food and his eyes were not on her at all.

Why did he think she liked chicken? She thought for a moment and realized that he must have remembered that Taro Chicken when she was filming in J City!

Seeing the chicken in her bowl, Xia Ning knew that if she ate it, Qiao Yu and even Gao Wanhua would think she accepted Qiao Yu’s heart. So she cannot eat it!

Xia Ning picked up the chicken and was ready to throw it on the plate. Suddenly, Enoch’s cries sounded from upstairs. She put down her bowl and said, “I’ll go check on him.” And she ran upstairs.

Gao Wanhua watched Xia Ning’s swift actions and was surprised for a second before she put the bowl down. She also heard Enoch’s cries but she did not react as fast as she did. Was she too old to compete with young people now?

Qiao Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks too. He darted a look at Xia Ning’s bowl before he stood up and walked to the staircase.

In the bedroom, Enoch was holding onto Xia Ning’s neck. His tears were all over his face and he was still sobbing. “Mummy, I thought you left me again. Wah...”

Xia Ning patted his back and said softly, “How come? Mummy promised you that I’ll stay with you for the next couple of days. I was just having dinner with Grandma and Daddy. Sorry, it’s my bad. I’ll be with you next time.”

“Wah...” Enoch cried even more.

Qiao Yu walked in and saw Enoch’s tears all over Xia Ning. He frowned a little. “How old are you now to cry like this?”

Enoch looked at Qiao Yu with displeasure. He let go of Xia Ning but still looked at her and said with his mouth pouted, “Mummy, Daddy is bullying me again. Without you on my side, he’s always yelling at me. Wah, I don’t want bad Daddy!”

Xia Ning took some napkins to wipe his tears. She said with a smile, “How can you not want Daddy? Daddy is worried about you. Otherwise, he would not have come up to see you once he heard you cry. He has a sharp mouth but a soft heart.” She thought about it more closely. It must be quite difficult for Qiao Yu to raise him.

Qiao Yu saw Xia Ning’s soft moves and gentle expression. His handsome face was covered with softness. A sharp mouth but a soft heart? She was probably the same!

Enoch looked at Xia Ning and nodded. “Since Mummy, you are saying good words about Daddy, I’ll forgive Daddy.” As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Yu. “Daddy, I’m only forgiving you for Mummy’s sake!”

Xia Ning was a little shocked. She turned around and saw Qiao Yu walking over. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Somehow, she felt that the atmosphere was weird.

Qiao Yu walked to Xia Ning’s side and patted Enoch on the head. “Sure, your Mummy has more authority.” As he spoke, he turned to Xia Ning, his eyes filled with gentleness. “I need to thank your Mummy.”
