In the gym, Xia Ning walked in and saw Qiao Yu running on the treadmill. He was wearing a vest and shorts. The muscles on his arms and legs were well-proportioned. His handsome face was more well-defined and charming because of the sweat.

“Do you wake up so early every morning to exercise?” Xia Ning walked closer to Qiao Yu and said with a smile.

But Qiao Yu did not seem to hear her. He kept running and his face was cold.

Xia Ning darted a look at him and had a weird feeling in her heart. Did he not want to talk to her?

Thinking about how excited he was in bed last night and how domineering he was, she felt a little dazed. It was as if they were two different people.

No, maybe it was her imagination.

“I haven't exercised in a long time. I'm here today to exercise too.”

Xia Ning turned around and sat on the bike. She stepped on the pedal and followed suit.

About two minutes later, Qiao Yu stopped and took the towel next to him to wipe his sweat. He went out directly.

Xia Ning stopped what she was doing and looked at Qiao Yu's back. She frowned. What was going on?! Why did she feel like she was abandoned after being used?

She stood up and followed him out.

“Qiao Yu, wait for me!” Xia Ning shouted.

But the person in front did not seem to hear her at all. Xia Ning gritted her teeth and rushed in front of him, blocking her way. She looked at him and said in a low voice, “Why are you ignoring me?”

Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and did not speak. Because he had just done some exercise, his masculine scent was very strong. Her breath was filled with his scent.

“Did I do something that upset you?” Xia Ning continued to ask. “If there's anything, can we make it clear?”

But she could not figure out what could upset him. After what happened last night, she slept until now and did not talk to him.

“I'm not upset,” Qiao Yu answered. “It's getting late. I need to get ready for work.” As he spoke, he walked around her and walked to the hall.

Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu's back and frowned. He said he was not upset, but his dark face looked angry!

When she entered the hall, Xia Ning saw Qiao Yu going upstairs. Because Gao Wanhua was here, she could not show too much and did not follow him.

“What's wrong?” Gao Wanhua turned around to look at Xia Ning who was standing in the middle of the hall. She remembered how Qiao Yu walked in just now. Something seemed to have happened between them.

Xia Ning shook her head. “Nothing, Mom. Aren't you tired from getting up so early?”

“I slept early and couldn't sleep in the morning. This has become a habit,” Gao Wanhua answered. She stood up and walked to the kitchen. “I'll go see if breakfast is ready.”

Xia Ning looked at Gao Wanhua's back and felt like she had noticed something. She looked grateful and went straight to the second floor.

In the bathroom, Qiao Yu was showering. Xia Ning stood outside and helped him take out the clothes he was going to wear today.

After a while, Qiao Yu came out of the bathroom and saw Xia Ning in the room. He was not surprised at all. He went straight to the closet to get his clothes.

“I picked one for you,” Xia Ning reminded him. Afraid that he would doubt her taste, she said with a smile, “I have good taste in men's clothing.”

Qiao Yu's clothes stopped for a second. Something flashed in his dark eyes. The next moment, he took out a set and walked past Xia Ning to the bathroom.

Xia Ning saw his actions and her face changed. He was ignoring her on purpose! But what exactly happened?!

No, when he comes out, he has to ask! Xia Ning looked at the bathroom door with determination in her eyes.
