Chapter 550 - Do You Really Love Me?

Xia Ning was frightened when she felt his hand pull her nightgown. She took a step backwards. But he cornered her.

“Qiao Yu!” Xia Ning looked at the man before her and said with gritted teeth, “Are you violating me?”

The night was dark, the room silent and the air stagnant.

Qiao Yu stopped to hold her head. He suddenly pressed his head against hers, kept silent for a long time, and then said, “I would rather be a villain like I was years ago than see you with another man! Do you know that I hate you very much sometimes?!”

In the darkness, the man’s breath was hoarse, seeming to suppress something.

Looking up towards the top of her head with a flash of pain in her eyes, Xia Ning pursed up her lips without a word.

“During those days, it was you who came to me first. But when I loved you, you disappeared from my world. I always remained passive. I passively loved you, and passively waited for your telling me that you desired my love. Everybody thinks that I’m confident and I have everything. But Xia Ning, I’m just an ordinary man who fell in love with you. I may be different, too. I admit that I was wrong during those days. However, after so many years, why can’t you give me a chance?!”

Five years ago, she had also asked him why he couldn’t give her a chance in spite of her deep love for him. Then, fortunately, she managed to marry him, but she was not a real Mrs. Qiao.

Four years ago, she gave birth to Enoch and finally understood her feelings for him. A one-sided pursuit of love was too tiring. Besides, there were many unspeakable things that could not be neglected.

Today, he told her that he had liked her since then. Everything went against her will. She was shocked and confused. If things were like this, then what was the worth of her past bitter struggle?

Until this moment of her life, she had lost too many things. Perhaps her repeated losses had already made her distrust anything long-lasting in this world.

Her feeling of being loved brought her anticipation. But deep inside, she did not dare to accept it for she was afraid that everything was just her illusion.

However, she recently found that she was in fact, needed. She was a mother, a mother needed by her child.

If the future path was already destined, then she wanted to do one thing before she stepped into that destined path.

She felt that she might regret all her life if she did not do it.

Actually, she had also thought whether it was only Qiao Yu’s fault that lay in the relationship between her and him today.

But the time seemed too long for her to remember something, whether good or bad.

In fact, they were both pigheaded. He needed love and she needed an identity. Actually, they could reach a bargain with each other to obtain what they wanted respectively.

“Qiao Yu, do you really love me?” A soft female voice came through the air.

Qiao Yu shuddered and looked at the woman beneath him in surprise.

Suddenly, he felt that his neck was tightened as if vines were growing around it.

“Do you really love me?” Xia Ning embraced his neck, came near his ear and whispered, “If you really love me, then let’s give it a try.”

Qiao Yu looked at her face near him in disbelief. As her warm breath flapped at his nose, he was absolutely sure this was no dream!

“Do you know what are you talking about?” His hoarse voice trembled.

After his words, Qiao Yu felt something attached to his lips, cool yet soft, like a spring breeze.

Qiao Yu’s eyes darkened. He took back the initiative and pressed her head to him.

“I won’t give you the chance to regret it!” His deep voice came through the darkness. Never!
