About ten minutes later, Xia Ning came back.

Seeing Xia Ning come inside with snow falling all over her, Qiao Yu instantly got unhappy. He picked up the dry towel he had previously put on the sofa, came up to her and covered her head with the towel, and then helped undress her coat.

“Haven’t I told you to inform me of your arrival so I can go out for you?” Qiao Yu immediately blamed her.

Seeing Qiao Yu’s good-looking face wrinkle with anger, Xia Ning smiled, “It is a short distance. I can walk here myself.”

“Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold? Also, drive slowly when it snows.” Qiao Yu threw Xia Ning’s coat aside, helped her wipe the snow from her hair, and frowned more deeply.

He knew that she had the habit of driving fast. But she drove back in less than ten minutes for an originally twenty-minute drive across the snow. Had she ever thought of his feelings?

“Oh,” Xia Ning bent down her head as she answered him, like a child who had made a mistake.

But her eyes were clear and bright at an angle that he could not see. Today, she had an impulse to give vent to her feelings. But she would not tell him.

After helping Xia Ning wipe her hair dry, Qiao Yu threw the towel aside, picked up Xia Ning’s hands to knead them, and said, “You’ll soon be warm.”

Her palms being kneaded warmly by his big, coarse hands aroused an unspeakable emotion in Xia Ning. She was even touched. No woman disliked being cherished by a man. All of a sudden, a voice interrupted the warm feeling.

“Ah, we have abruptly seen a public display of affection. Can you guys restrain yourselves?”

Xia Ning froze. She turned to look towards the sofa where two men were standing by. They were Mu Zichen and Gao Yang. Xia Ning had just come in and Qiao Yu’s action had drawn all her attention. She had not noticed that they were also there.

Noticing something, Xia Ning instantly withdrew her hands that were held by Qiao Yu.

Xia Ning suddenly getting rid of his hands, Qiao Yu knew that she got shy. He frowned, turned to look at Mu Zichen, and uttered two words coldly, “We can’t!”

Mu Zichen: “…” Did Qiao Yu have to be so direct? In addition, Qiao Yu sounded angry as if a good thing had been interrupted.

Gao Yang stayed undisturbed. He knew Qiao Yu’s feelings for Xia Ning better than Mu Zichen. Seeing Qiao Yu and Xia Ning’s harmonious relationship, Gao Yang was happy for them. However, Gao Yang found it hard to see Qiao Yu being considerate and gentle like this as if Xia Ning was his whole world.

Xia Ning took her bag and nodded at Gao Yang and Mu Zichen, “Mr. Mu, Gao Yang.”

“Sister-in-law!” Gao Yang nodded. Now he called her sister-in-law smoothly, for he truly believed that she was.

Mu Zichen smiled, “Mr. Mu sounds strange. Just call my name. Sister-in-law, why did you come back so late? Alex almost became a stone while waiting for you.”

Qiao Yu came up to Mu Zichen, looked at him and said lightly, “I don’t think that you refused to leave my home to say something like this.”

Mu Zichen touched his nose, looked at Xia Ning, hesitated for a moment and then said, “Sister-in-law, can you help me?”

Xia Ning glanced at Mu Zichen, walked to the sofa, put her bag down, looked at him and said, “I happen to have something to discuss with Mr. Mu.”

“With me?” Mu Zichen looked at Xia Ning in surprise.

Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning, his expression changing slightly. It was apparent that he also felt surprised.

Xia Ning looked at Mu Zichen and nodded, “Please sit down.” Saying so, she sat down.

Mu Zichen also sat down in her gaze, wondering why he felt that the atmosphere was weird.

“Sister-in-law, this…” Mu Zichen wanted to say something in order to lighten the atmosphere. The woman opposite him looked so serious that Mu Zichen felt like being on trial.

“Mr. Mu, if you don’t want to marry Wen Yue, I hope you can tell her as soon as possible!” Xia Ning directly interrupted Mu Zichen, getting to the point.
