Chapter 719: We’re Even!

Xia Ning stood still and looked to the front. She said calmly, “Aren’t you suspecting me? If that’s the case, why would I still be by your side?”

“I’m just not happy that you are close to Jin Yan,” Qiao Yu said in a low voice. “I’m not suspecting you.” As long as she did not tell him, he would not believe that she fell in love with someone else.

“Qiao Yu, the relationship between me and Jin Yan is not what you think. It’s not what others think. He’s my brother. I don’t have a father or a mother. I didn’t have a family I can call my own. But Jin Yan is different. When my mum passed away, I fell into the care of an orphanage and the first person I met was him. Only he was willing to play with me, protect me, and give me food.” Xia Ning closed her eyes a little. “You will never experience the feeling of being abandoned by the entire world. Someone suddenly appears in front of you and gives you the warmth you need. It was as if he gave you life.”

This happened more than once. Back when she was in England and standing on top of the 25-floor building, he was the one who showed up in front of her.

Was it a coincidence, or was it destined by the heavens?! She did not know, but she knew it was him who gave her a second life.

If she could fall in love with Jin Yan, she would have fallen in love with him back in England. After all, back then, he was like a god to her. He was capable of everything, sacred and tall.

In fact, Jin Yan said they were not suitable together. As for the reason, she probably knew.

“You never told me about this,” Qiao Yu said in a low voice.

Xia Ning chuckled. “Do you want me to tell you that I used to live in an orphanage and was a patient with depression? That was not an embarrassing thing, but I feel very upset by it. I don’t like to remember the past. Just like you and I, I don’t want to think back about what happened five years ago. And didn’t you avoid it by instinct? People are always like this. You can ignore those unbearable memories.”

“Sorry,” Qiao Yu said in a low voice.

“Let’s not talk about what happened five years ago.” Xia Ning let go of Qiao Yu and looked at him. She continued, “Jin Yan has no family and I don’t. I’m grateful to him. I want to be his family and I want to see him as my family. I hope you don’t doubt me because of him. Or maybe you can understand. Even if I fall in love with anyone in the future, I will never fall in love with Jin Yan.” There were kinds of people who would be desecrated if she fell in love with them. Therefore, she never had that thought.

“Who do you want to love?!” Qiao Yu frowned and his hand fell onto her cheek. “I won’t let you fall in love with any other man!” Even if she did not love him enough now.

“I won’t!” Xia Ning smiled calmly. If she could not fall in love with him, she probably would not be able to love another man.

A person’s heart is really small, but that feeling of being moved was deeply engraved in her heart. If that feeling could not be surpassed, it would probably never show up again in her life.

Thinking back to what Qiao Yu did back then, he let her go easily. How could that be?

But today, when she saw the high and mighty man who was jealous of her and got mad at her and put down all his pride to get into her good books, this was already her revenge. Because she pulled him down from the pedestal and made him an ordinary man.

Therefore, in some way, they were even.

What will happen after this?! She did not know, but she thought the circumstances now were very good.

As if she thought of something, Xia Ning raised her eyebrows at Qiao Yu and said with a ghostly smile, “What happened to your blind date?”
