Xia Ning looked at him in surprise. Go together?!
“There is no need.” Xia Ning said hesitantly. To get a drink was such a small thing that there was no need for two people. Moreover, she felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit delicate.
Qiao Yu directly took her hand and went towards the kitchen, “You don’t know where the coffee beans are. I’ll show you.”
Walking with Qiao Yu towards the kitchen, Xia Ning tried to free herself from his hand but failed. She found it weird. Weren’t they too intimate?
As soon as they reached the middle of the hall, a servant led Shen Tianlang inside from the door.
“Mr. Qiao, Mr. Shen is here.”
Qiao Yu and Xia Ning stopped to see Shen Tianlang coming inside.
“Yu, you are at home.” Shen Tianlang smiled as he came in. He looked towards Xia Ning, “Ke…” In the next moment, his gaze fell on their hands and raised his eyebrows.
Being aware of Shen Tianlang’s gaze, Xia Ning hurried to draw back her hand.
Qiao Yu naturally knew it. Seeing that Xia Ning was uneasy, he had to release her in order to prevent her from getting angry. He said to Shen Tianlang, “I just happen to be at home. Please head inside.” He watched as Xia Ning walked towards the kitchen and did not say anything.
Shen Tianlang nodded. He called to Gao Wanhua, “Aunt.”
“Tianlang is here. Sit down, please.” Gao Wanhua nodded and said to Enoch, “Hurry, greet your uncle.”
“Nice to see you, Uncle,” Enoch called crisply.
Shen Tianlang smiled, “Nice to see you too.” His gaze swept across Gao Wanhua, Qiao Yu, Xia Ning and Enoch in the room. It felt so unreal. Previously, the Qiao home had been cold and cheerless. Now it really seemed like a home with three generations living together.
However, he did not expect that Ke married Qiao Yu and had a child.
“What do you want to drink?” Qiao Yu suddenly asked Shen Tianlang.
“I don’t need any drinks.” Shen Tianlang said.
“Then have some coffee.” Qiao Yu made the decision himself and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Shen Tianlang originally thought that Qiao Yu would go to sit on the sofa with him. It was beyond his imagination that Qiao Yu soon left him alone.
Thinking of the scene he had seen when he came in, he found it funny that this indifferent cousin would also stick close to a woman one day.
Xia Ning entered the kitchen just in order to avoid embarrassment. Shen Tianlang’s gaze had been too strange when he saw her and Qiao Yu. She felt downright uncomfortable.
Where were the coffee beans? Xia Ning was turning things over in the cupboard. Since she did not find any coffee beans in any cupboard below, she stood on tiptoe to open the cupboard above.
All of a sudden, another hand opened the cupboard before her. She turned only to see his perfect jawline. She was a bit surprised. Wasn’t he with Shen Tianlang outside?
Qiao Yu took down the coffee beans, turned on the coffee machine, put the beans into it, filled it with water again and started to make coffee.
After making three cups of coffee, Qiao Yu asked Xia Ning, “Do you want to add sugar and milk?”
Xia Ning shook her head, “No.”
Looking at Xia Ning, Qiao Yu advised, “You can only drink coffee during the day, not at night.”
Xia Ning met his pitch-dark eyes and nodded by instinct.
Qiao Yu smiled, “Let’s go out.” Saying so, he carried two cups of coffee and went outwards.
Looking at Qiao Yu’s back, Xia Ning froze. He smiled! Recently, he seemed to be in a good mood. She looked down at her cup of coffee with a complicated expression. After being silent for a while, she carried the coffee cup and followed him out.
