Chapter 445: Marriage, Warm and Cold Know

Chapter 445

Xia Qiqi was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Her mind was filled with images of Xiao Nanchen and Gu Yanxuan being together, in vivid detail.

No matter what, she just couldn't get it out of her head.

She had previously felt that given Xiao Nanchen's personality, it would be very difficult for him to be with another woman again. After all, ever since high school, Xiao Nanchen had many pursuers but he rejected them all. Even when he was overseas for so many years, with all those blonde and blue-eyed women chasing him, he remained single. So she had felt that Xiao Nanchen perhaps...perhaps really loved her a lot.

But thinking about it now, she had obviously overthought things.

No one would really love another person so selflessly and devotedly for life.

And actually, she didn't want Xiao Nanchen to be like that either.

No matter how decisively she acted during this divorce, she still felt a little guilty.

After thinking it through carefully, she was probably feeling guilty about not being able to properly protect their child.

This would probably become the biggest regret in her life.

She didn't know how long it would take to get over it.

After all, with so many things on her mind, Xia Qiqi just couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Xia Qiqi sat up in bed. She picked up her phone and called An Nuan.

It was instinctive - whenever something happened, she would habitually look for An Nuan.

Fortunately...

Even though it was so late into the night, An Nuan still answered her call.

She said, "It's so late, and you still can't sleep well?"

Her voice carried a tone of blame, but it was obvious she was more concerned.

"I can't fall asleep."

"You have times when you can't fall asleep too?" An Nuan also sat up from her bed, forcing herself to sober up.

In fact, Xia Qiqi wasn't the kind of person who was completely oblivious of others' feelings. Calling her so late into the night must mean she had something on her mind.

"I'm not heartless."

An Nuan chuckled softly and asked, "Tell me, what's keeping you awake?"

"I don't know." Xia Qiqi shook her head.

"Be honest." An Nuan was stern.

Xia Qiqi pressed her lips together.

She was just a little surprised.

Just a little...

Okay, fine.

A woman's vanity made her feel that Xiao Nanchen sleeping with Gu Yanxuan so soon was somewhat obnoxious.

An Nuan had no more to add. She said, "If you're not regretful then never regret it. It's so late already, go to bed earlier. I have to go to work tomorrow too."

"Don't I have to go to work tomorrow too?" Xia Qiqi asked.

"Have you figured yourself out?"

"No. It's because my father has reverted back to the days of getting not a single cent if I don't go to work. I just have no choice but to go work because of circumstances." Just mentioning her father ignited Xia Qiqi's anger.

"Your father treats you well. You will understand in future."

"I don't want to understand." Xia Qiqi refused.

She rejected emotional exploitation.

It was because she actually could feel the love her father had for her.

It was only because of the things that had happened previously that she couldn't let go.

"Alright, sleep early."

"Hmm." Xia Qiqi nodded.

She hung up the call.

After ending the call, she really did not feel sleepy at all.

She buried herself under her blanket, forcing herself to sleep.

...

On the contrary, An Nuan felt more awake now. Being woken up by Xia Qiqi in the middle of the night was truly...excruciating.

She looked at the time, then hesitated before making a call to Ye Jinghuai.

Ye Jinghuai received it.

No matter when, as long as she called, Ye Jinghuai would answer her call the first time, without fail.

Not more than three seconds.

Doing this once or twice did not mean much.

But over time...

It became a kind of blessing.
