Chapter 1003: Meet Me at the Coffee Shop
Xia Xiaoman kept crying on the phone, so much that Ning Shu couldn’t take it anymore. “Xiaoman, what exactly happened?”
“Big Brother Wenlang, Big Brother Wenlang…” Xia Xiaoman kept crying and calling Ning Shu’s name without saying anything.
Finally, Xia Xiaoman seemed to have calmed down a little and she asked to meet with Ning Shu at a coffee shop.
They lived right next door to each other, but she wanted to meet at a coffee shop? Ning Shu wanted to refuse, but Xia Xiaoman kept crying nonstop. When she hung up, Xia Xiaoman called again.
Ning Shu had no choice but to get up, put on clothes, and get ready to leave again. Mother Xu was in the middle of cooking. When she saw that Ning Shu was heading out again, she said, “You barely rested, why are you heading out again?”
Ning Shu held her suit as she put on her shoes. “There’s something I need to deal with.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Pay attention to your health and spend more time with Xiaoman. Why haven’t I seen Xiaoman lately? Don’t neglect Xiaoman due to work. Xiaoman isn’t a vain child,” said Mother Xu.
Mother Xu thought that her son was working so hard because of Xia Xiaoman.
Ning Shu just smiled without saying anything, then headed out.
When she got to the coffee shop, she instantly spotted Xia Xiaoman who was sitting near the window. Xia Xiaoman was wearing long-sleeves that covered her skin up tightly and her long hair was loose and fell over her shoulders.
Ning Shu walked over and pulled out the chair to sit opposite Xia Xiaoman. She saw that Xia Xiaoman’s eyes were slightly red. Xia Xiaoman had very pure looks and seemed like an obedient daughter that had been protected very well. It was no wonder Chu Xiaoran would fall for her. She was completely different from the lowly seductive goods that were usually around.
However, right now she looked like the resentful female lead of a sado-maso novel. Ning Shu really didn’t know how Chu Xiaoran was able to bring himself to sleep with her. Almost every time they papapa, it was half-forced.
“Big Brother Wenlang.” When Xia Xiaoman saw Ning Shu, her tears instantly overflowed again. Her eyes were swollen and red. Ning Shu grabbed a couple napkins and handed them to Xia Xiaoman as she said, “Don’t cry anymore. Here, wipe your tears.”
Xia Xiaoman took the napkins and wiped at her tears in a dispirited manner. As she looked at Ning Shu, her expression was filled with guilt and unease. Her eyes contained confusion and pain, and there was even a trace of hatred.
Ning Shu took a sip of the coffee and her mind finally cleared up a bit. When she saw Xia Xiaoman’s scrunched up face, she inwardly sighed. “What exactly happened?”
Xia Xiaoman looked at Ning Shu as she covered her mouth and cried. She sobbed, “Big Brother Wenlang, Big Brother Wenlang…”
Ning Shu rubbed her aching forehead. What was she crying for? Ning Shu silently chanted the heart-clearing chant.
Xia Xiaoman felt like she had suffered an extreme grievance. It was so so painful.
“Xiaoman, I haven’t slept for two nights. I’m really tired. Don’t cry anymore, if something happened, just say it.” Ning Shu took another sip of coffee.
Xia Xiaoman instantly stopped crying and said worriedly, “Big Brother Wenlang, you have to pay attention to your health. Don’t work so hard and don’t pull all-nighters.”
Ning Shu nodded. She had already finished the cup of coffee, so she called for another cup. All she wanted to do right now was sleep.
