Chapter 469 - Angry Qiao Yu
“In the cupboard at the top.” Xia Ning answered subconsciously. She then turned to the person on the phone. “No need to pick me up. I’ll get a cab.” As she finished, she hung up and went to get pepper for Jin Yan.
Qiao Yu hung up and his face turned extremely dark. If he did not hear it wrong, that was a man’s voice.
Also from what they were saying, were they cooking together?! So, a woman and a man were cooking together this late at night?!
Remembering what Xia Ning said before, Qiao Yu understood immediately. So was she with that boyfriend of hers?!
Seeing Qiao Yu’s progressively darker face, Enoch looked a bit scared. He did not know why Daddy got mad. Was it because he cried just now? But he was just missing his Mummy. The more he thought, the more wronged he felt. Tears came down his face uncontrollably.
“My honey, little pumpkin. Why did you cry again?” Gao Wanhua came over to hold Enoch up and comforted him. She then looked to Qiao Yu with blame.
Qiao Yu darted Gao Wanhua a look and said to the servants. “Time for dinner.” He moved a few steps forward but then suddenly turned around and took Enoch from Gao Wanhua before they went into the dining room.
Gao Wanhua threw a look at Qiao Yu’s back. So it looked like Xia Ning upset him?!
In the living room, Xia Ning was looking at the five dishes and a soup. She slurped a little and said, “You made so much food. Will we be able to finish them?”
“We can save them for tomorrow if we can’t finish!”
“It’s not good to have leftovers!”
“So you should finish them all today! Isn’t that what you want?” Jin Yan looked at Xia Ning and chuckled. “Why do you still crave food so much?”
“It’s because you make great food!” Xia Ning picked up a piece of the spare ribs and took a bite. It was so juicy and tasty.
Jin Yan nodded. He picked up some chicken and put it in Xia Ning’s bowl. “I think you lost some weight lately. It’s very tiring to film, so you should eat more. If you have time later, you should have meals with me.”
“I want to but I need to go back to the set in a few days. I took a couple of days off. If I don’t go back, the crew will kick me out,” Xia Ning took a bit of the chicken and said with a smile.
Jin Yan frowned, “If you think it’s too much, don’t push yourself too hard. Even if you don’t work, I’ll not let you starve. Plus, if you want to win some award, you don’t need to rely completely on that work...”
“I can rely on you!” Xia Ning interrupted him and said with a smile. “I know. But I want to be part of that film not only because Zeng Jun is the director, but also because it was my father’s life work.
Hearing this, Jin Yan nodded. “I know, I won’t persuade you to give up in the future. But you need to be careful! Don’t think I don’t know what happened this time just because you didn’t tell me!” As he spoke, his gaze on Xia Ning was with blame. “Things related to your safety, I don’t want you to hide it from me.”
“Okay, I will not do it again!” Xia Ning said at once. “I was afraid you’d be worried about me. Plus, I was okay.”
“If the person that got hurt was not Zheng Ziming, it would be you. What is Zheng Ziming like right now... Xiao Ke, if something happens and I’m the last person to know, I’ll be sad!” Jin Yan stared at Xia Ning with deep eyes. “We promised each other we would never hide anything from each other. Xiao Ke, some things, I don’t want to go through twice.”
