Chapter 840 - Deceived (1/2)

Seeing that the good moment was interrupted by a sudden phone call, Qiao Yu was a bit upset. He picked up his phone and saw that it was from Gao Yang. He thought it was probably about Gao Lihua. He was already disgusted by Gao Lihua’s behavior, so he hung up directly.

Xia Ning received Jin Yan’s call.

Xia Ning darted a look at Qiao Yu and stood up to pick up the call. But the man next to her held her in his arms and did not let her leave.

The call went through. Even though Xia Ning was not happy with Qiao Yu’s sudden action, she still said to the phone, “Hello, Jin Yan, what’s wrong?” At the same time, she glared at Qiao Yu, gesturing for him to let go.

But it was as if Qiao Yu did not see her eyes. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her hair, and from her ear to her cheek.

His warm breath hit her and Xia Ning’s heart skipped a beat. Her brain was not working enough and she could not hear what Jin Yan was saying. All her attention was on the man next to her.

“Jin Yan, what did you just say?” Xia Ning said as she reached out and pinched Qiao Yu’s waist.

Qiao Yu stopped what he was doing and darted a look at Xia Ning with some resentment in his eyes.

Xia Ning was almost shocked by the look in her eyes. She wanted to laugh but realized that it was not the right time. She was holding it in and could not help but cough a few times.

“Xiao Ke, what’s wrong? Did you catch a cold?” Jin Yan’s worried voice came from the phone. “Did you…”

Xia Ning realized what he wanted to say and said at once, “No, it’s nothing. The air-conditioning in the restaurant was just right yesterday. Didn’t you say we were filming outside today? There’s the sun, no need to worry. I just choked.”
