Qiao Yu looked at the woman across him with deep eyes. “Are you serious?”
Xia Ning touched Enoch’s head and said to Qiao Yu, “Why can other people’s children play openly while my children can’t?” As she spoke, she said to Enoch again, “Can Mummy take you out in a few days? It’s a bit late today.”
“Mummy, is it true?” Enoch looked up at Xia Ning with surprise.
Xia Ning saw his excitement and at that moment, all her worries were gone. Why did she endure until now? She just wanted to make him happy. Since her previous decision was against this, why did she insist?
“Of course it’s true. Mummy is a woman of her words. Why don’t we pinky promise?” Xia Ning smiled at Enoch and reached out her pinky.
Enoch saw this and reached out his pinky to hook hers. He said at once, “This promise can never break in a hundred years.”
“Sure, I won’t break it.” Xia Ning tapped Enoch’s nose and said with a smile.
Qiao Yu looked at the warm interaction between the mother and son and was a bit surprised. Obviously, he did not expect her to agree so easily. At this moment, she was no longer as fierce as before. There was only the emotion called motherly love flowing in her.
At this moment, he felt that she had completely integrated into this family.
When Gao Wanhua returned, it was already night time. Her expression did not look good when she walked in.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Xia Ning stood up and asked.
Gao Wanhua sighed and answered, “Your uncle is not awake yet. The doctor’s results are not very optimistic. He said he might have a stroke.”
A stroke?! Xia Ning frowned and did not speak.
Gao Wanhua darted a look at Xia Ning. “Xia Ning, I know you have a lot to do with the Shen family. But I’ll still say the same thing. Now that your uncle has become like this and you’ve taken most of the shares from the Shen Group, you should let him go. Just stop now.”
“Mom,” Xia Ning called out and looked at Gao Wanhua with a smile. “I promise you I won’t do anything to the Shen family again.”
Gao Wanhua nodded. “I don’t want to interfere with you. But if this continues, people outside will say that you are heartless. Sometimes, we don’t need to care about what others think. But Xia Ning, words are scary.”
“Mom, I know.” Xia Ning smiled. She knew Gao Wanhua was doing this for her own good. She was a very reasonable mother.
It was true that she would not attack the Shen family again, but it did not mean that the Shen family would not provoke her. But that was what would happen in the future.
“Grandma, Grandma, Mummy said she would take me to the amusement park in two days.” Enoch suddenly jumped off the sofa and ran to Gao Wanhua as he said happily.
Gao Wanhua was surprised. She darted a look at Xia Ning and looked surprised.
Xia Ning smiled at her and turned to Enoch. “Do you want to go to the amusement park so badly? Then I must take you out more often.”
“Mummy, you said that. Don’t go back on your word.”
Xia Ning saw Enoch so happy that he wanted to jump and her smile got deeper. Children were always so easily satisfied. They did not seem to have any worries. Sometimes, she really envied them.
Because they ate late in the afternoon, they did not have dinner. Enoch still slept with Gao Wanhua as usual.
Xia Ning was a bit tired after a busy day. She took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. But before she could close the door, Qiao Yu pushed the door open and walked in. He was even naked.
“What are you doing here? I want to take a shower,” Xia Ning said to Qiao Yu and pushed him out.
But Qiao Yu did not move. He locked the door and looked at her with a deep gaze. “I’m hungry.”
