The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 812 - 247: It Seems There’s No Possibility Between You and Ning Wan Anymore_3
Ning Wan didn’t notice anything unusual about Song Qiao, but she took the initiative to say, "Qiaoqiao, actually before Ning Yan’er and he returned to the country, I still had thoughts of being with him, but do you know? The first day he came back, he came to find me on his own." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Song Qiao’s hand holding the potato chips froze, she directly turned her head to look at her, "He came to see you? What did he want?"
About this, she had no clue, she only knew that the day after Xi Mohan returned to the country, Ning Wan went missing.
Or rather, she left home.
Ning Wan stared at the Korean drama playing on the TV, with a faint smile on her lips. Even though what she was about to say had hurt her deeply back then, she spoke casually, "What could he want with me, of course he treated me like his outlet for desire. He tormented me the entire night, he was already with Ning Yan’er yet still came to trouble me."
She picked up some chips, threw them into her mouth, and crunched loudly, as if she wished she could bite that man to death.
However, Song Qiao was stunned by Ning Wan’s words, her face changed, "You mean... Xi Mohan came to you the first day he returned and bullied you?"
Ning Wan nodded, turning her head to look at her, seeing her face had changed, immediately realizing how much her words worried Song Qiao, after all, Song Qiao wasn’t her.
She quickly changed her expression and smiled as she said, "But I’m fine now, aren’t I? Plus, it’s impossible between him and me now. From that day on, I was already disheartened with him. One night’s torment in exchange for losing hope, it’s worth it."
Song Qiao didn’t know what to say for a moment, her heart ached terribly.
She felt heartache for Ning Wan...
At that time, she had just married Lu Jingchen and moved into his villa, so she didn’t live with Ning Wan, Xi Mohan took advantage of that.
How could she... not have thought about this?
If she had still been living with Ning Wan then, would these things not have happened?
Her gaze fell on Ning Wan’s smiling face, although she was clearly not feeling well inside, she forced a smile to not worry her, her heart ached, she immediately put down the chips and hugged her, speaking with some unease, "Wanwan, I’m sorry."
Ning Wan’s body stiffened, after a long while, she came back to her senses, puzzled about what was going on, she asked, "Qiaoqiao, what’s... what’s wrong? Why are you apologizing?"
Song Qiao closed her eyes, trying hard to hold back tears that were about to fall, "I shouldn’t have moved in with Lu Jingchen and left you alone, if I stayed with you, that man Xi Mohan wouldn’t have bullied you."
Ning Wan finally understood and quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, what are you saying? It’s not your fault. Besides, I’m fine now. That man was determined to have me back then. If I could dodge the first, I couldn’t dodge the fifteenth, it was bound to happen sooner or later. One night’s torment in exchange for losing hope, it’s not a loss..."
Song Qiao didn’t say anything, knowing she was comforting her.
...
The next morning, Lu Jingchen came to pick up Song Qiao, while Ning Wan was asked by Elder Mu to stay at the Mu Family for a few days.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Song Qiao’s gaze was on the scenery passing by outside the window, slightly lost in thought.
The man held the steering wheel, turned his head, and saw the woman dazing out, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What’s wrong? You look down."
Song Qiao turned back to look at him, but smiled brightly, "It’s nothing."
The man was usually taciturn, even though they had been together for a long time, they still felt they didn’t understand each other well. Usually, they were together, she would talk, and he was responsible for answering or listening.
Now that he took the initiative to ask her, and received the two words ’nothing’, there was naturally nothing more he could say.
Half an hour later, the car reached the city center and stopped in front of a breakfast shop. The man pulled out the keys, looked at the puzzled woman, and said, "I didn’t have breakfast. I know you did, but keep me company while I eat, okay?"
Song Qiao hadn’t eaten much at the Mu Family, expecting Lu Jingchen hadn’t had breakfast because he came to pick her up, so she saved some room to accompany him. Even if he hadn’t mentioned breakfast, she would have suggested they eat together later.
So now, she naturally had no objection, nodded, and got out of the car with him.
The breakfast shop was quite crowded, and the couple had been all over the news lately, so they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered.
This breakfast place was quite famous in An City, but a bit expensive, so the customers were mostly white-collar workers or company executives. Occasionally, a few company bosses would visit.
By the time Lu Jingchen stepped out of the car, his face had regained a detached expression, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance, he directly held Song Qiao’s hand and found a seat with no one else around.
The store used round tables, sometimes strangers would sit together if there were no empty seats.
After they sat down, a waiter promptly brought over the menu. Song Qiao lazily propped her chin and watched the patrons and waiters moving around inside, listening to Lu Jingchen order several breakfasts, most were her favorites.
Retracting her gaze from watching others, Song Qiao looked at Lu Jingchen and smiled slightly, "Lu Jingchen, I’d like some coffee."
Lu Jingchen glanced at her lightly and said, "This is a Chinese restaurant, no coffee, and coffee in the morning isn’t good. I’ll order you some milk, okay?"
Song Qiao disagreed, directly saying, "But don’t you often drink coffee in the morning at home? If there’s no coffee here, isn’t there a Western restaurant next door? You can get it there."
"I’m used to drinking coffee every day," Lu Jingchen replied softly, "If you really want coffee, let’s have some when we have a Western meal for lunch later."
He clearly didn’t agree with her having coffee in the morning, and the latter sentence was also implying having lunch together later.
Song Qiao’s eyes flickered, then she said, "I can skip coffee now, but you have to promise me one thing."
The man raised his eyebrows, surprised that her not having coffee required a condition, but he didn’t think much and agreed.
"I can skip coffee now, but in future, at home, during breakfast, you have to drink milk with me."
He hadn’t expected such a request; in fact, Song Qiao didn’t like milk much either, but since milk is good for health, he insisted she drink a glass every day during breakfast.
Having no objections, Lu Jingchen nodded and agreed.
Seeing him agree, Song Qiao smiled brightly, turned to the waiting waiter, and said, "Add two glasses of milk, thank you."
Originally, Lu Jingchen wanted to order tea, but since Song Qiao had already ordered, he handed the menu over to the waiter.
After the waiter left, Song Qiao looked at the man in front of her, smiled, and said, "I didn’t eat much this morning, you ordered so many of my favorites, later you can’t fight with me for them, or I won’t let it go."
