However, this topic was clearly something he did not want to discuss. Despite his earlier statement that I could ask anything, he had already become irritated after just a few sentences and directly asked me, "Aren't you supposed to care whether I love her or not?"
I was surprised and looked up into his eyes, only to see a hint of a bitter smile.
I was too curious; besides, if I missed this opportunity, I might not get a second chance, so I asked, "Do you love her?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Minxing said, "No, I don't love her. I see her as a sister. We grew up together, and she looks a lot like someone else, which is why I take special care of her."
"Looks a lot like someone else? She is a person after all," I replied.
Xiao Minxing paused for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed as he glared at me and said, "You must be stupid. Get up and make breakfast quickly; we have to go to work soon."
I looked at him innocently and said, "It seems like today is the weekend."
He was taken aback again and then sternly said, "I'm the boss. If I say we have to work, then we have to work. What weekend are you talking about? Get up."
After saying that, he walked towards the entrance first, leaving me feeling somewhat bewildered and unsure of what had just happened.
However, when I got out of bed, I realized my miserable state.
From my waist down to my legs, every part was sore, and I felt particularly exhausted. All I wanted to do was lie down and sleep; I didn't want to move at all.
As I dragged myself to the door, it opened again. I hadn’t moved from the bed yet when Xiao Minxing surprisingly appeared with a cup of warm milk in his hand and two slices of bread spread with jam on top.
With an angry expression on his face, he placed the items heavily on the bedside table and said, "Eat quickly. Once you're full and rested, get up and get to work."
Looking at him like this made me want to laugh inside, but I still forced myself to hold it in. Carefully, I picked up the milk and took a sip; it had just a little bit of sugar in it—my favorite taste—and the jam was strawberry flavor, which I also liked.
He sat in the chair by the bed, pretending to look outside, but occasionally his eyes would shift slightly as if he could clearly see me.
My relationship with Xiao Minxing is really strange; when things go bad, it feels like we're immediately heading towards divorce or death, unable to last even a minute longer. The storms can wash away all rationality.
But at this very moment, it feels as if we've been together since childhood, never apart, getting along well, and that we could continue to do so.
Perhaps it is these beautiful moments that make me hesitate every time I decide to leave him. Even when he is violent, I still endure it.
In all relationships, it is these details—the little things that touch the heart at certain moments—that keep women holding on.
However, my beautiful thoughts only lasted until the morning. I barely finished my breakfast when Xiao Minxing received a phone call.
He glanced at the screen and went out to the balcony to take the call, closing the glass door behind him.
Inside, I could only see his expressions. From the warmth, light laughter, and slight movements of his lips, I could probably guess who was on the other end of the line.
After he returned, he started preparing his clothes and getting ready for a shower.
I had no reason to linger in his bed any longer, so I got up, wrapped myself in my clothes, and went back to my room.
It's easy to say—just like all men tell women—that there is no love left for their ex-girlfriends, old classmates, or past lovers; they treat them as good buddies. Yet women can still detect signs of infidelity in the subtleties of their interactions.
Yes, when it comes to love, women have a natural detective instinct; it's impossible not to notice.
I can no longer figure out what Xiao Minxing feels about me, but his feelings for Miss Yishan are definitely not as simple as he claims. Yet what reason do I have to question this matter?
I also went into the bathroom to shower. Before he came out, I made my way to the living room first.
He looked a bit surprised when he saw me, slightly furrowing his brow.
I hurried over and cautiously said, "Are you going out? Let me drive; a Driver should be responsible."
To my surprise, he didn't object. Instead, he used his fingertip to smooth out the lip balm I had hastily applied before heading towards the Entrance.
He took the car keys first, so I followed closely behind him to the parking lot.
To be honest, walking was awkward for me, and it wasn't really suitable to go out in this condition, but I really wanted to meet this true god, so I had to push through.
Fortunately, Xiao Minxing had a moment of conscience this time. Although he opened the passenger door first, he pulled me inside and then silently went around to the driver's seat.
He drove the Car slowly, taking about half an hour before stopping in front of a high-end Community in Haicheng.
A girl wearing an Apple Green Dress, with long straight hair and delicate features, happily jumped over.
She moved quickly, opening the passenger door with ease and then, of course, seeing my bewildered face.
However, her expression changed even faster; without pausing, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Xiao Minxing, I can't sit in the back; I'll get car sick."
My hand instinctively reached for the seatbelt buckle but was pressed down by Xiao Minxing's hand.
He wore a gentle smile on his face, and his voice was incredibly pleasant: "Be good and sit in the back. I'll open the sunroof for ventilation; we'll arrive soon enough that you won't have time to feel sick."
The girl clearly didn't want to comply, but she was smart enough not to say anything and opened the back door instead.
Xiao Minxing did not introduce us, and I felt it was inappropriate to talk to her, mainly because I didn't know what to say at all.
As soon as they got in the car, they were chatting and laughing, and I felt like a big light bulb sitting in my seat. Inside, I felt both stuffed and sour, starting to regret following him out of spite.
After about ten minutes, the Car stopped in the parking lot of Central Hospital.
Xiao Minxing was the first to get out and surprisingly came over to open the car door for me, even helping me with my arm.
The girl remained seated until I steadied myself. When Xiao Minxing went over to open the door for her, she slowly got out, but her arm was hooked around his neck. If she weren't so short, her face would almost be pressed against his.
Even so, she still said, "Let's go, we're going to see my brother."
Xiao Minxing loosened her hold and came over to me, saying, "You go ahead. Your sister-in-law isn't feeling well; I'll take her to see a doctor and will join you guys shortly."
At that moment, someone called Xiao Minxing an angel, and I accepted it.
In this awkward situation, in front of another woman, he didn't give me the cold shoulder like before. Instead, he took care of me first, which made me forgive everything he had done in the past. For this moment of seeking favor, I was willing to go all out.
The girl then hooked her other arm around his arm and insisted on standing next to me, saying, "Then I'll go with you guys; anyway, my brother would prefer to see you."
