Chapter 884

Her parents had passed away, her child was not around, and even the person she loved did not love her.

“Don’t be too sad, Astria. Since Qiao Yu doesn’t care about you, we don’t have to care about him either. Is he the only man in this world? The number of men who want to marry you in this world could form a circle around the Earth if you were to line them up. Who does he think he is?” Zheng Ziming’s voice over the phone was filled with unspeakable anger.

Xia Ning held onto her phone and did not answer.

“Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up!”

Xia Ning told Zheng Ziming the address and sat down by the roadside. She looked up at the night sky. There were no stars in the sky and it was a little dark. The streetlight elongated her figure. She closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her.

She wanted to calm herself down. No one in this world was worthy of her being so sad. She had never been taught about love. She used to think that she was a machine.

But now, she suddenly missed that side of herself, so that she wouldn’t look like a clown.

After an unknown period of time, Zheng Ziming’s car arrived and stopped by the side of the road.

He walked down and looked at Xia Ning. She was hugging her knees with her head buried in them. She looked extremely insecure, just like how he had seen her many years ago.

The little princess who lived in the beautiful Castle didn’t like to talk. She had a bad personality and liked to prank people. However, no one could refute her words.

However, whenever she was alone, she would always hug her knees like this and sit in a corner, staring at a certain place in a daze.

At that time, he thought that she must have had something sad in her heart. They said that she had depression, but he knew that she was beautiful when she smiled.

She was like a demon, forcing him to stay by her side, but she was also a Savior. Because of her one word, his family’s business took a turn for the better.

He knew that he wasn’t very outstanding, perhaps it was just luck.

Until one day, Wen Yu asked her why she had chosen him. He happened to hear it when he passed by, and he would never forget her words.

She said that she was already unlucky enough. If she could help someone, she didn’t care. Besides, following her might not be a pleasure.

He thought that she was brainless, but it was only at that moment that he realized that she could see through everything and create illusions to confuse others. She was a really smart person. He admired her and was willing to follow her for the rest of his life, even if others would say that he was her servant or follower.

It was his honor to be her servant and follower.

At this moment, he wanted to rush to the Qiao family’s residence and give Qiao ran a good beating. What right did he have to bully her like this? did he know what she had done for him? She had tried so hard to love him, but why couldn’t he see it?

Zheng Ziming squatted down and held Xia Ning in his arms. He said in a low voice,””Don’t be too sad, Astria. I’m here.”

Xia Ning leaned into Zheng Ziming’s arms. At this moment, she finally felt that she could rely on him. She leaned into his arms and said in a low voice,””Ziming, why is happiness so difficult to achieve?!”

“It’s not difficult. It’s just that we, Astria, have yet to meet someone who’s really good to us.” Zheng Ziming patted Xia Ning’s back and said in a low voice,”we’ve gone through all the hardships in the past, and we’ll be the same in the future. No matter what, I’ll be by your side.”

“Thank you,” she said. After Xia Ning said this, she burst into tears.

Zheng Ziming patted Xia Ning’s shoulder and said in a low voice,”You don’t need to be so polite with me.”

After an unknown period of time, the two of them got into the car and left.

A figure stood behind them and watched the two of them leave, not moving for a long time.
