The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Hai Xiaotang looked at her red eyes, handed her a handkerchief and said, “I’m not laughing at you, I just hope you’re okay.”

Qiao Ning took the handkerchief sadly and dabbed at the tear stains on her face.

Hai Xiaotang also took some tissues and started wiping the soup stains off her body.

After their clean-up, Qiao Ning’s emotions seemed to slowly stabilize.

“Xiaotang, I’m not a homewrecker, do you believe me?” She suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, Hai Xiaotang replied, “I believe you!”

Qiao Ning immediately felt a warmth spread in her heart, “I don’t like Su Zigao, I never flirted with him, I didn’t know he had a fiancee. I really despise him, I truly don’t like him…”

“I believe you!” Hai Xiaotang looked up, “Qiao Ning, 1 know you despise him. That sort of man, you’d never like. It must have been him pestering you, you had nothing to do with it.”

Qiao Ning’s eyes welled up with tears again, she said gratefully: “Thank you for believing me.”

“Qiao Ning, everyone will believe you. Really.”

No, Chai Xiyang does not believe her!

In his eyes, she had always been a wicked woman, always trying to seduce men.

She didn’t want the entire world to believe her, she just wanted him to…

But clearly, that was impossible.

Thinking of his cold, mocking gaze, Qiao Ning’s heart ached once more.

Leaning against the sink, she lowered her eyes, suddenly saying dejectedly, “Xiaotang, did you know? Su Zigao was introduced to me by my mom.”

Hai Xiaotang was surprised, “Why?”

Qiao Ning gave a bitter smile, “Because Su Zigao showed interest in me, she wanted to set us up together…”

“Your mother probably didn’t know he has a fiancee.”

“…” who knows, maybe she knew, maybe she didn’t.

Qiao Ning didn’t say any more, there were many things she found impossible to voice.

Although she really wanted to find someone to confide in, she simply couldn’t.

Hai Xiaotang somehow sensed the overbearing pain in her heart, it was a feeling she was too familiar with.

Because she had her own unable-to-voice sorrows…

This only made Hai Xiaotang even more curious about what she had been through in her past.

But she knew Qiao Ning wouldn’t tell her, because by the time she could, her pain would have already disappeared.

At least for now, she seemed unable to let go of everything from her past.

Just like her…

After saying goodbye to Hai Xiaotang, Qiao Ning returned home.

The Chai Family’s villa was large, but it was always empty, devoid of any signs of life.

Her mother and Chai Xiyang’s father were always socializing outside or going out for entertainment.

There were very few servants in the house, and Chai Xiyang was always out late and in early. Often, she was the only one in the house.

No, this wasn’t her home either, this was the Chai Family residence.

She was only temporarily living here.

Qiao Ning stood in the grand living room, looking at everything around her, not feeling a sense of belonging at all.

Because there was no one here she could rely on, nobody who cared for her.

But what was ‘caring’? She didn’t even dare to hope for that anymore.

Thinking about this, Qiao Ning couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh.

At the same time, she heard Chai Xiyang entering the house.

Upon entering, he saw Qiao Ning’s lonely, delicate silhouette..
