C53 (2/2)

Xu Qing skipped home. An Ning had already fallen asleep. Normally, Xu Qing would be too happy to wake An Ning up, but today, she was too happy. She couldn't help but throw herself onto An Ning.

”Ning Ning — —” In her dreams, An Ning was frightened by Xu Qing's sudden enthusiasm. Wasn't this her birthday? Why was she so happy?

An Ning turned on the light beside her and rubbed her eyes. ”What are you doing? I was just sleeping.”

”I — am out!” Xu Qing directly ignored An Ning's anger from getting up and said happily.

Hearing this news, An Ning did not feel sleepy at all, she was as excited as Xu Qing: ”Really!?” Xu Qing nodded furiously.

An Ning sized up Xu Qing, then asked with a mischievous smile, ”Tang Yu?”

Tang Yu's liking for Xu Qing was something that everyone could see through. Now that he had finally gotten what he wanted, the two of them, who were immersed in joy, couldn't care about anything else as they embraced each other in the middle of the night.

That day, Xu Qing and An Ning slept in the same bed and chatted until three in the morning. The two chatted until they were too sleepy to open their eyes before they stopped talking.

Compared to An Ning's excitement, Jiang Jia Han was in a particularly bad mood. One of them was still in the bar, getting drunk.

He tried to get closer to An Ning, hoping that she would give him a chance to explain himself. Perhaps, it would be just like in the past where An Ning wouldn't bother with him anymore as she would obediently return to his side.

However, this time, no matter how hard he tried, An Ning was determined not to change her mind. Jiang Jianhan had never felt that the situation had reached such an irrevocable point that An Ning would only forgive herself for what she had to do.

Ai, now I can only wait slowly, step by step.

Three days later, Jiang Jia Han saw An Ning at the Di Hao Grand Hotel again. He was just in the middle of a discussion with her, but looking through the window, he saw her with Xu Qing on the second floor.

After seeing An Ning, how could Jiang Jian still have the mood to talk about work? She handed everything over to the assistant and left hurriedly after saying that she had urgent matters to attend to.

On the other side, Xu Qing and An Ning were also feasting on Di Hao's steamed abalone with garlic. They agreed to share the delicious food with him.

Jiang Jia stood on the second floor and watched the two of them talking and laughing from afar. Xu Qing had always been a straightforward person. Even from a distance, one could see how excited she was.

Most of the time, An Ning would listen patiently. Sometimes, she would smile merrily and say something. Sometimes, the two of them would talk and start fighting each other.

Jiang Jia could not help but think of An Ning who had been by his side for three years. In those three years, he had never seen her smile so carefree.

He thought about her cold attitude. It would be funny if An Ning could relax herself in that kind of environment, but even if Jiang mother and she didn't like her, she would still fulfill her duty as a wife.

On the other hand, the more he thought about it, the worse it became.

Originally, she was so innocent and romantic. However, she had unknowingly restrained her. She yearned for the freedom of the birds under the blue sky and white clouds. There would eventually be a day when she would burst.

What's more, he hurt her again and again, and he suddenly felt that he could understand An Ning's disappointment.

Since it had appeared in his world, there was no possibility of it ever leaving again. He would do his best to give An Ning a better future, but he would never let it go.

When he thought about it, Jiang Jianhan felt that he was no longer so lost. When he had been drinking in the bar the previous two days, he had been most conflicted about what he had just thought about.

Now that he had finally thought it through, his eyes were even more clear.
