Chapter 831: I Will Not Lose

After getting rid of the car following her, Xia Ning drove back to the Qiao house.

As a high-end residential area, there was very little traffic near the Qiao house. This was because most of the people who came here were rich.

Under the streetlights along the road, a black Maserati was unimpeded. Xia Ning looked around and did not see any cars chasing after her. But when she was almost at the Qiao house, Zheng Ziming’s call came.

Xia Ning picked up directly. Before she could speak, Zheng Ziming’s anxious voice sounded.

“Asteria, where are you?”

Xia Ning looked at the road ahead and slowed down. She answered, “I’m on my way back to Qiao Yu’s place. Why?”

“Don’t go back!”

Xia Ning frowned a little and felt something was off. She braked and parked the car on the side of the road. “What happened?” she asked.

“I just got the news that someone is going to expose your relationship with Qiao Yu. I suspect there are paparazzi lurking outside the Qiao house and they are waiting to catch you.”

Xia Ning leaned against the back of the chair. “Seems like it was premeditated. This is not the first time.” But that time, she went back to the Mountain Villa to stay for a few days.

The price was Gao Lihua losing the 60 million she invested in the stock market.

No one has ever escaped unscathed after offending her.

“I just got the news all of a sudden. They said someone wants to expose who your backer is and vaguely revealed that the person’s last name is Qiao. So the person behind the news must know your relationship with Qiao Yu. Asteria, be careful.”

“Ha…” Xia Ning chuckled. “So what if they know? It’s the truth anyway. But I don’t like the word ‘backer’.”

Zheng Ziming went silent for a while on the other side and said suddenly, “Asteria, have you decided to go public with Qiao Yu?”

“I’m considering this.” Xia Ning did not plan to hide it from Zheng Ziming anymore.

“Are you crazy?” Zheng Ziming said somewhat angrily. “Why do you want to go public? Did he force you? Don’t agree!”

Xia Ning looked to the front calmly and smiled suddenly. “Didn’t you previously think we were good together?”

“That’s because I thought everything would be good as long as you are happy. But I never wanted you to make it public with him.” On the other side of the phone, Zheng Ziming’s voice was filled with agitation. “You know what it means to make it public. It means you have completely acknowledged Qiao Yu. Asteria, don’t forget, that’s not allowed!”

“Why not?” Xia Ning asked back with some irony in her voice. “He’s the father of my kid, my ex-husband. Even if he’s not my husband now, he’s still my boyfriend. Why can’t I reveal him? Do you want me to be like my father back then?”

The voice on the other side gradually calmed down. In the end, she could only hear his light breathing.

“Asteria, do you have to be so impulsive?” Zheng Ziming sighed. “Since you know what happened to your parents back then, why do you insist?”

“Do you think I’ll make the same mistake again?” Xia Ning sneered. “My father was too worried back then, and my mother had no background. That caused the tragedy in the end. But I’m not my father, and Qiao Yu is not my mother. Plus, there’s something you are wrong about.”

“What?”

Xia Ning looked to the front with deep eyes. “I won’t bet all that I have. As long as I don’t gamble, I will never lose.”
