Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Don’t Think About Being Together With Him_1

One evening, Chai Xiyang kept trying to persuade himself, until in the end, he didn’t even know if he had succeeded.

Qiao Ning woke up early the next morning.

She was returning home from a stroll with Mr. Chai when Chai Xiyang happened to be coming downstairs.

“Not going to the office today?”, Mr. Chai asked him, puzzled.

Chai Xiyang nodded slightly, his gaze briefly resting on Qiao Ning, but she did not meet his eyes.

Suddenly, Qiao Ning’s cell phone rang. She quickly answered it, “Hello, Director Chen… Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ning said to Mr. Chai, “Uncle, I have to go out.”

“Go ahead”, Mr. Chai replied with a smile, “It was Shuinan who called, wasn’t it? Go ahead and enjoy your date. It’s no big deal if you come back late.”

Qiao Ning smiled awkwardly, picked up her things, and left without glancing at Chai Xiyang.

Chai Xiyang looked down, then headed towards the dining room, an inexplicable coldness emanating from him.

Today was Qiao Ning’s first date with Chen Shuinan.

Even though Chen Shuinan was not one for laughter or small talk and was quite serious, he also knew how to be romantic.

He took Qiao Ning to many places throughout the day and didn’t bring her back until they had dinner.

The summer night came rather late. When Qiao Ning got out of the car, the afterglow of the sunset still lingered in the sky.

She waved at Chen Shuinan, smiling, “Director Chen, drive safely. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow,” Chen Shuinan responded with a faint smile, then quickly started the car and left.

Qiao Ning watched him go, then turned around and saw Chai Xiyang standing on the second-floor balcony.

With his hands in his pockets, he cast a lofty gaze down upon her from his elevated position, his face and eyes seemingly shrouded in shadow.

Qiao Ning looked at him, slightly knitting her brows, before quickly averting her gaze and entering the house.

As she entered the living room, Chai Xiyang also came downstairs from the second floor.

Qiao Ning ignored him, asking only, “Aunt Liu, where is Uncle Chai?”

“The master ate dinner and then went to rest. He wasn’t feeling well today.”

“Is he okay?”, Qiao Ning asked, concerned.

“He’s fine…” Aunt Liu responded before continuing with her work.

Qiao Ning saw Chai Xiyang standing by the stairs, but didn’t say anything and went straight to her room.

She walked past him and quickly reached her room.

But as she opened the door, someone suddenly followed her in, quickly stepping past her.

Qiao Ning looked surprised, “What are you doing, Chai Xiyang?”

Chai Xiyang suddenly closed the door, took a large step towards her, cornering her against the wall, both of his hands forcefully pressed on either side of her—

Taken aback by his behavior, Qiao Ning bristled with unease, “What are you doing…”

“Are you really with Chen Shuinan?!” Chai Xiyang’s tone was grim as he asked. His features were set hard, his gaze piercing.

Qiao Ning was taken aback. She found his question puzzling.

“Why are you asking this?”

“I asked you, are you with him?!” Chai Xiyang pressed his question again, his tone heavy as if he were questioning a cheating spouse.

Suddenly, Qiao Ning pushed him away and said with some anger, “Whether I am or not, what does it have to do with you? Chai Xiyang, don’t you think you’re acting strange?”

“What does it have to do with me?!” Chai Xiyang gave a cold, hollow laugh, then pinned her against the wall, glare fiercely cold, “Now let me tell you what it has to do with me! I won’t allow you to be with him, and you better not think about being with him, do you understand?!”
