The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 627: Chapter 627: He Asks You to Wait for His Return_1

After being tricked by her mother, she left this home.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, her bedroom still had the same old decorations.

The furniture was still there, just without her belongings…

She had assumed that Chai Xiyang had long since thrown everything away here.

Yesterday, she wasn’t feeling well, and didn’t pay attention to these details. Now, upon seeing them, she can’t help feeling somewhat conflicted.

However, she had self-awareness, knowing that the fact her stuff was still there meant nothing… so, she wouldn’t let her mind wander.

...

“Miss Qiao, you’re awake. Come and eat something. This is the chicken soup porridge specially made for you.” Mrs. Liu said, bringing in a bowl of porridge.

Qiao Ning hurriedly tried getting out of bed.

“Miss Qiao, what are you doing? Your body hasn’t recovered yet, lie down.”

“I’m fine now, sorry for the trouble yesterday. I will be leaving now.” Qiao Ning put on her shoes and found her luggage was gone.

“Mrs. Liu, where’s my luggage?”

“Your luggage is with the young master. He’s not home now. He asked you to wait for him to come back, said he has something to talk to you about.”

Qiao Ning was astonished. What did Chai Xiyang mean?

“Mrs. Liu, could you please help me get my luggage? I want to leave, I don’t want to stay here.” Qiao Ning said firmly.

However, Mrs. Liu shook her head with an embarrassed expression, “Miss Qiao, I can’t help you with this. The young master has kept your luggage. Without his permission, who dares to touch it?”

After hesitating a bit, Qiao Ning walked straight out. If that’s how it is, she would fetch it herself!

But just as she arrived at the living room, she ran into Mr. Chai coming down the stairs.

On seeing her, Mr. Chai asked with concern, “Qiao Ning, how are you feeling?”

Qiao Ning nodded, “I’m much better. Thank you all for your help yesterday. However, I’d like to leave now, but my luggage….”

Mr. Chai instantly understood her meaning and said, “Xiyang said he has something to discuss with you later. Just wait for him to come back.”

“But…”

“You child, this was also your home once. You grew up right before my eyes, so stop acting like a stranger. Go back and rest. Ah, I should have insisted on keeping you here before. You have lost so much weight. Qiao Ning, I heard everything, you even went to wash dishes at a restaurant, leading such a tough life. Why didn’t you come to me? Although I’m not your father, you grew up in front of me but you never think of relying on me. Qiao Ning, did I do something wrong in the past?”

“No, not at all!” Qiao Ning shook her head hastily, “Uncle, I just don’t want to trouble you anymore…”

“Look what you’re saying…” Mr. Chai sighed again, Qiao Ning couldn’t interrupt him and had to listen.

And so, she had no choice but to stay and wait for Chai Xiyang to come back.

As a result, she waited a full day. Chai Xiyang didn’t return until very late in the evening.

Qiao Ning spent the whole day in her room, constantly aware of the movements outside. As soon as she heard the sound of a car engine in the yard, she immediately opened the door and went out.

Qiao Ning was staying on the first floor. All she had to do was step outside and turn around to reach the living room.

When Qiao Ning entered the living room, Chai Xiyang also came in soon. Seeing him, she spoke directly: “Chai Xiyang, where’s my luggage? Give me my luggage and I’ll leave right away.”

Chai Xiyang, after changing his shoes, laughed and said, “Just a few old clothes, are they worth you worrying about?”

“They’re all I have.” Qiao Ning responded calmly, “To you, they might be just a few old clothes, but to me, they’re very important.”
