Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Just Trying to Avoid Him_1

Qiao Ning moved ahead, hauling her luggage, not even sparing a glance at Chai Xiyang who was behind her.

She walked fast, seemingly intending to keep a distance from him.

However, not long after she set off, Chai Xiyang’s car caught up with her.

He slowly pulled up beside her, saying indifferently, “Get in, let me give you a ride.”

“No need.” Qiao Ning continued walking forward as Chai Xiyang followed her at a slow pace.

“Get in the car, go back with me for today. My father wants to see you,” he finally revealed the reason for seeking her.

Qiao Ning cast him a puzzled look, “What could Uncle Chai possibly want from me?”

“You’ll find out once you get there!”

“Once I’m settled in, I’ll visit him…”

“He wants to see you now!” Chai Xiyang gave her a quick glance, “If you don’t want to go, that’s fine. But there’s no need to act like you’re skipping out on it.”

She wasn’t trying to avoid it; she was just trying to avoid him.

“Okay, I’ll go with you!” Qiao Ning made up her mind, dropped the pretense, opened the rear door, got in, and dragged her suitcase in with her.

Chai Xiyang glanced at her in the rear-view mirror and drove off.

They both remained silent during the drive, neither mentioning the incident that happened in the elevator.

It was as if that embrace had never happened…

Qiao Ning didn’t want to dwell on the meaning behind his embrace. She didn’t want to know anything. All she knew was that she no longer had feelings for Chai Xiyang.

As for his feelings, it was none of her business.

They quickly arrived at the Chai family mansion. It was only after arriving that Qiao Ning found out that Mr. Chai wanted her to stay with them.

After experiencing a near-death situation recently, Mr. Chai’s entire mindset had changed.

He no longer worked and spent each day doing things that he used to consider meaningless.

Like going out for a walk, catching up with friends over chess and tea, or meeting up with old friends…

And of course, he thought of Qiao Ning.

Qiao Ning had grown up under his watch; he wanted to spend more time with her.

Given his current health, he knew he could depart this world at any moment, and he cherished every person around him.

He felt sorry for Qiao Ning and wanted her to live with them, both as a gesture of care and support.

Qiao Ning hesitated to commit, saying apologetically, “Uncle, I don’t wish to impose. But rest assured, I will visit you often.”

Mr. Chai said, with evident disappointment, “Qiao Ning, it would be a great pity if you didn’t stay. I don’t have much time left and I want to spend more of it with you. You’re like my child. It would genuinely upset me if you didn’t stay.”

Qiao Ning was still hesitating, “But Uncle, I…”

Mr. Chai put his foot down, “Stay, okay? That’s final. Stay and keep your uncle company. It would bring me peace when my time comes!”

With him putting it that way, Qiao Ning was left with no choice but to comply with his request.

Although Mr. Chai was not her biological father, he had taken great care of her for many years.

He had covered all her expenses when she was young.

In essence, he had raised her for many years. Having grown up without a father, she had always considered Mr. Chai like a father.

It was only later that she discovered she was undeserving of his kindness…

Nonetheless, Qiao Ning was always grateful to him.

She dreaded the thought of him suddenly passing away without her ever having the chance to show her filial piety or letting him depart this world with regret.
