Chapter 712 - 189: It’s Probably Because I’ve Known Him for So Many Years That I Became Familiar
Ning Wan’s condition wasn’t very good; after all, she couldn’t sleep a wink last night due to Xi Mohan’s haunting presence here, resulting in staring down the man the whole night until he left in the morning, which was when she finally got some sleep. However, the sleep wasn’t long, as the doctor came for rounds, and she woke up, unable to fall asleep again.
Raising her eyes to look at the anxious Song Qiao, she tugged the corner of her mouth and then, smilingly said, "It’s nothing much. He just sneaked into my ward while I was asleep last night, and I caught him. Probably he was afraid I would catch him during the day, so he had no choice but to come at night."
Based on last night, Xi Mohan wasn’t just aware of her presence recently; he probably found her the night before, except that she was unwell and remained unconscious. She hadn’t noticed when exactly he came.
The only thing she was certain of was that this man seemed like a lingering spirit, which was causing her quite a bit of distress.
Song Qiao slightly furrowed her brows, not knowing how to advise her, and after some thought, she still said, "Wanwan, once you’re feeling a bit better, you should move in and live with us."
After all, she and Lu Jingchen were living in a villa, with plenty of guest rooms. If Wanwan lived with them, it would be easier for her to take care of her.
However, Ning Wan did not want to live with them. Looking up at her, she smiled and said, "No need. If I were to join the two of you in your world for two, wouldn’t I be a glaringly obvious third wheel? Even if you don’t mind me staying, would your man want me to intrude on your living space? Qiaoqiao, I’d rather not be frozen to death by the looks Lu Jingchen would give me."
"Xi Mohan’s glares could freeze someone to death too; why don’t you say you’re scared of being frozen by Xi Mohan?" Song Qiao glared at her, speaking discontentedly.
Ning Wan touched her nose, then smilingly said, "Probably because I’ve known him for so many years that I got used to him. Actually, Qiaoqiao, when I first met Xi Mohan, his glares scared me too."
When she first spoke of Xi Mohan, that man was just in his teens, yet his eyes were deathly cold. The first time she stumbled into his gaze, she really got a fright.
Now that she thinks about it, she’s not even sure if she fell for Xi Mohan back then.
However, after all the years of trying, chasing after Xi Mohan shamelessly, all her efforts were in vain, earning nothing but his disdain and aversion, making her lose any motivation to continue liking him.
Ning Wan was now very clear that it was impossible to have any more of a relationship with him. Whatever they had was forcibly ended, and there would be no future.
Ning Wan even thought to herself that perhaps this child... was some kind of punishment from heaven.
Ning Wan didn’t blame anyone. After all, it was her own stubborn blindness that led her to such punishment, and if she were to blame anyone, it would only be her own past infatuation with that man.
Fortunately, it’s all over now.
Song Qiao looked at Ning Wan in front of her, at a loss for words. She knew that since she had awakened, some things were slowly changing, such as Ning Wan’s personality, and Ning Wan’s past obsession with Xi Mohan was also fading away.
"All right, have some soup first; it’s getting cold," Song Qiao changed the subject, stood up to wash the spoon, but before leaving, she asked, "However, Wanwan, what are your plans for the future?"
Holding the bowl and just about to drink the soup, Ning Wan paused upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, thought for a moment, and then directly said, "Qiaoqiao, once I’ve recovered, I’m thinking of going abroad to study."
Going abroad was the best solution, and the only way to distance herself from Xi Mohan and gradually forget him.
She didn’t know if she could truly escape Xi Mohan’s grasp, but she knew, as long as Ning Yan’er continued to want to be with Xi Mohan, her chances were quite good.
But just thinking about Ning Yan’er’s face, Ning Wan couldn’t help but frown slightly, sighing inside.
She and this so-called sister would probably be estranged for the rest of their lives.
Since she was very young, she had once thought about getting along with Ning Yan’er, but all such thoughts were shattered by Ning Yan’er’s malice and scheming.
