Now at 19, she seemed to have grown up.
She was as fresh and enticing as morning dew, enough to make any man salivate.
“Qiao Ning has really grown up,” Chai Xiyang smirked, his flippant gaze making Qiao Ning uneasy.
She fidgeted with her hands, unsure why he was looking at her in such a way.
“And capable of attracting men now!” Chai Xiyang suddenly added.
Qiao Ning was taken aback, her face draining of color, “What… what did you just say?”
The man released his hold and strolled towards her, leaning down towards her with a dark and cold aura, “The ability to lure men, you have learned well. Truly, like mother, like daughter!”
“…” Qiao Ning’s eyes widened in shock, her complexion ashen, “I didn’t!”
Chai Xiyang grasped her chin, his lips curling in amusement, “Not? If not, why would men be so eager for you?”
Qiao Ning hadn’t thought he would view her that way.
“This has nothing to do with me, I didn’t!”
Yet Chai Xiyang refused to believe her, he sneered, “I know very well whether you did or not. After all, your talent for seducing men has always been impressive!”
“…” Qiao Ning’s face paled even further, her heart feeling as if it had been ruthlessly pierced!
Listening to him speak about her in such manner, she felt as if the sky was about to fall.
Chai Xiyang coldly laughed, “Stop acting so pitiable, your trick might work on others, but not on me!”

” What a pity, only I know your true colors!” With a cold huff, Chai Xiyang released her and walked away.
He pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the hand that had touched her, then threw it into the trash. As if touching her was akin to touching something filthy!
Qiao Ning doubled over, covering her distressed face, struggling to hold back the tears welling in her eyes.
Today, she had almost been violated, and the person she cherished most spoke of her in such a horrific way, shaming her.
Her heart was filled with an unbearable sorrow and grievance.
But she couldn’t defend herself, because he would never believe her. He would think she was just acting, and would hate her even more.
And she had no one to confide her heartache in, she could only bear it all alone, endure it alone!
But after calming herself for a while, Qiao Ning rose to her feet as if nothing had happened, and entered the hospital room.
Dongfang Yu sat by the bedside, unblinkingly staring at Hai Xiaotang.
Hai Xiaotang was still unconscious.
She lay there peacefully with her eyes closed, her face pallid, appearing extremely weak.
Just this morning, she was perfectly fine, lively and exuberant.
But in the blink of an eye, by nightfall she ended up like this…
If he had known she was going to have an accident, he would not have upset her today and she wouldn’t have left the office early.
Dongfang Yu felt a pang of regret, but he hated the person who hurt her even more!
As soon as Qiao Ning entered the room, she felt the chill in his eyes.
She felt guilty and remained at the door, not daring to go in, “Mr. Dongfang…”
Dongfang Yu lifted his head, his gaze regaining its usual demeanor, “What is it?”
“Has Xiaotang still not woken up?”
“Not yet.”
“Can I stay here tonight…”
“No need!” Dongfang Yu interrupted her, “Miss Qiao, go home and rest.”
After all, she too had been scared, there was no need for her to stay here.
Qiao Ning nodded, “Then I’ll leave. I’ll come to see Xiaotang tomorrow.”
Dongfang Yu lightly nodded, as if to acknowledge her departure.
Qiao Ning cast a worried glance at Hai Xiaotang before turning to leave.
Dongfang Yu didn’t leave. Naturally, he was going to stay and take care of Hai Xiaotang.
