Chapter 842: Honey, Let’s Get Married
When she got back to the Mountain Villa, it was already eight or nine o’clock.
Seeing the Bentley parked outside the house, Xia Ning was not surprised. After all, he had been here in the morning.
She opened the door and walked in. Xia Ning put the keys on the entry table and walked in. She asked, “Did you go home after work?”
“No.” Qiao Yu walked into the kitchen with a big bag.
Xia Ning saw him walk to the kitchen, open the fridge, and put in the stuff from the bag. She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “Looks like we will have breakfast tomorrow. Have you eaten dinner?”
“No, what about you?” Qiao Yu answered. He put two pieces of steak on the table and continued to keep the food in the fridge.
Xia Ning saw the two steaks on the table and curled her lips. “Me neither.”
Bam! Qiao Yu closed the fridge. He took the two pieces of steak and walked into the kitchen. “Go play on the couch for a while. It’ll be ready soon.” As he spoke, he started to work.
Xia Ning walked to the tall platform outside the kitchen and saw his back. Her heart skipped a beat and she asked, “You bought steak. Do you want to make a candlelight dinner?”
Qiao Yu had his back to her and did not speak.
Xia Ning sat on the chair and held her chin with her hands on the podium. Seeing Qiao Yu’s practiced movements, she said with a smile, “This is the first time I’m having a candlelight dinner. It feels so romantic.”
Qiao Yu said without thinking, “If you like it, every day...”
“No!” Xia Ning refused without thinking.
When these words were out, Qiao Yu’s back stiffened evidently.
Xia Ning realized she rejected him too fast and he must have misunderstood. She could not help but say with a smile, “What I mean is, having candlelight dinner every day will not be romantic anymore.”
“Sure,” Qiao Yu answered without saying much.
Seeing Qiao Yu frying the steak, Xia Ning had an idea. She stood up suddenly and went to the storage room on the first floor to find candles. How can there be no candles for a candlelight dinner?
When Qiao Yu was done with the steak and saw the candles on the table, his eyes flickered. His eyes fell onto the girl who was lighting the candles next to him. At this moment, she had a gentle beauty.
The exquisite and tender steak was already on the table. Only Xia Ning’s candles were left. The candlestick and the candle were in storage for many years. Back then, her father would have a candlelight dinner with her mother on some important festivals. Thinking back on it, she realized that she was a very bright lightbulb back then.
But the one who detested her more was her mother. Everyone says that the daughter is her father’s lover in the past life. It was true. Her father always held her and did not let go. He fed her and told her stories.
Sometimes, her mother complained that she had a love rival and her father only cared about her daughter.
But during the years after her father left, she and her mother depended on each other. Her mother left the best for her.
In this villa, there were too many memories that she missed, but she was afraid to remember. Because here, she had to face reality time and time again. She was the only one left.
Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around her. There was some warmth on her chest. She leaned back and smiled. “I miss Enoch a little.”
“You still want someone else at this time.” Qiao Yu kissed Xia Ning’s hair and said in a low voice, “I will be jealous.”
“That’s your son, alright?” Xia Ning turned around and looked at Qiao Yu. She could not help but pinch his face. “But you look so cute when you are jealous.”
Maybe the dignity of a man was nothing in front of the woman he loved. Qiao Yu let her do whatever she wanted and only held her waist to prevent her from falling.
The two hugged each other intimately and the atmosphere was very good.
Qiao Yu kissed Xia Ning’s forehead and said in a low voice, “Honey, let’s get married.”
