Chapter 650 - I Wanted to Do This in the Kitchen Today (1/2)

When Xia Ning went upstairs, Enoch had already finished the bath. He was lying under the blanket. As soon as he saw Xia Ning come in, he wanted to sit up at once.

“Mummy, I want you to tell me a story.”

Qiao Yu frowned and immediately pressed him in the blanket with one hand, “Be quiet.”

Enoch made a hum of disapproval and glanced at his father unhappily. He then turned to look at Xia Ning, “Mummy, tell me a story quickly.”

Xia Ning went to the bed, sat down, and said to Qiao Yu, “You go take a bath first and let me stay with him.”

Qiao Yu glanced at Xia Ning, his eyes darkening. He answered lightly and went to the bathroom directly.

Xia Ning did not notice his gaze and immediately started to tell Enoch a story, “Once upon a time, there was a mountain…”

About twenty minutes had passed before Qiao Yu went out of the bathroom. When Qiao Yu saw that Enoch had not slept yet, he took out his documents and started to read them on the sofa. But Xia Ning’s gentle voice echoed in his ears and he could not concentrate on his documents.

He looked up at the gentle woman sitting on the bed and suddenly folded the documents in his hands.

He had never been patient enough to admire anything. But now he could not move his eyes away from her.

Under the light, her face looked beautiful and gentle. Even her hair follicles in the skin looked particularly lovely. Her thick, dark eyelashes quivered with her voice like the rate of the heartbeat. His hand fell to his chest as if his heart was beating with her.

After a while, Enoch fell asleep. Xia Ning watched him sleeping quietly, smiled, stood up, and saw Qiao Yu on the sofa.

Her attention had been so concentrated on the story just now that she did not notice that Qiao Yu was also in the room.

She met his deep dark gaze, froze slightly, nodded, looked away, and whispered, “I’m going to take a bath.”
