Chapter 583 - May I? (1/2)

When Qiao Yu came out of the shower, he saw Xia Ning leaning on the headboard reading a book.

He sat under the blanket and looked at the book in Xia Ning’s hand.

“When did you start liking Buddhism?”

Xia Ning stopped turning the page to fix her eyes on those abstruse sentences in the book. When she heard him open the bathroom door, she took a book casually to disguise her nervousness, paying no attention to what book it was.

“This book is very abstruse. I will give you an easier one to read next time.” Saying so, Qiao Yu took away the book from Xia Ning’s hand, “Don’t read at night. It’s bad for your eyes.”

Looking at the man beside her, Xia Ning asked lightly, “Why do you like Buddhism?” As her gaze fell on his chest that was half-exposed, she became uneasy and immediately looked away.

Qiao Yu held Xia Ning’s cold hands to caress them in his palms as he whispered, “My father liked it.”

Xia Ning shuddered. His father?! She remembered that his father passed away five years ago. In fact, she had always been avoiding that matter. But frankly speaking, the death of his father was the trigger of the complete breakdown of their relationship.

At that time, when she learned that his father had passed away, she wanted to go to his father’s memorial service. However, Gao Yang told her that his family did not know her existence at all. Now, she still remembered her feeling of shame and despair at that time.

Although he married her, deep inside, he did not think of a long-lasting relationship with her. Regardless of responsibility or pity, he did not include her in his future at all.

She was a human being, not anyone’s pet. As she gave love, she wanted to gain it. Moreover, they had a child.

To her, the child had always been a proof of their love!

But in the end, she found out that so-called love was only one-sided.

“I’m sorry to remind you of those sad things.” Xia Ning whispered.
