Only by thinking this way can I feel a little better inside.
I hope what I'm thinking is right.
People who work in the company are generally busier in the morning, so I had lunch at home and went to find Mina in the afternoon.
Her assistant and I have become familiar with each other. As soon as she saw me come in, she hurriedly invited me to sit down and even specially brought a cushion for me to place behind me. Perhaps Mina had told her that I was pregnant, which is why she was taking extra care of me.
While doing these things, she softly said, "President Mina is in a meeting and will probably be done in about half an hour. Miss Qiu, please wait for her for a bit."
I nodded at her, and after she left, I began to browse through the magazines on Mina's desk.
Zhuo Feng's company specializes in custom services for others.
He has a group of top talents who can produce unparalleled works, allowing them to confidently go out and attract clients.
Moreover, the custom items are quite diverse, with dedicated personnel responsible for everything from advertising to various designs. Mina used to handle this area herself, but later she gradually rose to her current position, doing less hands-on work and instead managing a group of people who do the work.
Logically speaking, it wouldn't be surprising for their company to collaborate with Xiao Minxing, so when Mina mentioned yesterday that she was going to meet Xiao Minxing to discuss cooperation, I didn't find it unexpected.
However, thinking back on it, they haven't collaborated for so many years; why did they choose just yesterday to discuss it?
Of course, I know she is using this opportunity to meet someone, but since I find this thought strange, Xiao Minxing should also feel surprised, right?
It's just that last night when he called, he didn't mention a word about it; instead, he talked about a call I made to Lu Yi Heng a long time ago.
Many times I can't understand the principles these people use to handle matters. Many troublesome issues can be resolved quickly once they get their hands on them, yet there are also some seemingly simple matters that they can take a long time to navigate around, leaving people completely confused.
I wasn't really reading what was written in the magazine; my mind was filtering through the events of the past couple of days.
I didn't even notice when Mina came in until she sat across from me and looked at me for a while before speaking: "Is there something wrong with this magazine, Miss Qiu? Why have you been staring at one word for several minutes without moving your eyes?"
I snapped back to reality and saw her half-smiling face and bright eyes staring at me without blinking.
But I ignored her question and instead asked her, "I remember you went to Zhi Xing yesterday for a collaboration discussion. How did that go?"
Mina finally withdrew her gaze, glanced at the documents in front of her, and said, "Your reaction is really slow; you only remembered yesterday's events now. Impressive."
"Isn't it because you kept talking about Li Ru yesterday? Otherwise, I would have asked much earlier," I retorted.
Mina wasn't angry; she just pouted and said, "In the end, it's still about the Xiao Family that's important. As for me, an old friend, we can talk whenever you remember."
I leaned back in my chair and stared at Mina for a while before asking, "I've already distanced myself from the Xiao Family, and now you're getting jealous? Isn't that a bit late?"
As soon as Mina heard this, her eyes widened. "Your skin is thick enough to bring up jealousy. Whose jealousy am I feeling? Xiao Minxing? You two are already divorced, and Miss Qiu is straight and likes men. No matter how good you are, I don't want you."
"If you don't want him, then I'll take him away. Don't regret it."
A voice from outside responded to Mina before I could.
I turned around to see Zhuo Feng standing there, smiling at Mina.
Mina's expression immediately soured as she snapped back at him, "Sure, go ahead and take him. Anan is indeed loved by everyone, but Zhuo Feng, be careful. The Xiao family is not to be trifled with; just make sure you leave upright and come back horizontal."
Even I could tell that Zhuo Feng was joking, yet Mina's face changed; it was the first time I had seen her react this way.
In fact, Zhuo Feng had never made such jokes before; he wouldn't even get involved with women. He truly was a good man in this circle—aside from occasionally going out for drinks, he had almost no bad habits.
Most importantly, his conditions were not bad; they were quite good. I believe there were many women who liked him, but I had never heard of him looking at any woman more than once. He was completely devoted to Mina.
There was even a time when I thought Mina was too cold-hearted; such a good man was trying so hard to please her, yet she seemed completely unmoved.
However, seeing the scene before me eased my mind a bit.
After greeting Zhuo Feng, I said, "I'll step out for a bit; you two chat."
Then I turned to Mina and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs. You said you had something important to tell me today after you're done?"
She then slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no! With all this back and forth, I almost forgot! Okay, I'll be right down."
I couldn't hear what the two people behind me were saying anymore, but I wasn't in a hurry for Mina to come down. Since she hadn't shared the important news yesterday, it indicated that it wasn't urgent enough to know right away. I was willing to wait a little longer.
This building has more than thirty floors and is rented by several companies. Zhuo Feng's company occupies three consecutive floors; I have no idea what the others do.
When I took the elevator down, there were already two girls inside. They didn't seem very old, dressed quite fashionably, but they spoke openly and swore a lot, eventually dragging Xiao Minfeng into their conversation.
One of the girls said, "If Shan Shan gets into trouble this time, I won't let Xiao Minfeng off the hook."
The other girl replied, "He doesn't look that bold. It's all because of that tigress from his family causing trouble. She thinks she's the main wife and walks around like she owns the place, not realizing she has a yellow face and should be embarrassed to go out."
As they continued to talk and curse, I couldn't take it anymore and pressed the stop button early, exiting the elevator.
Standing on the fifth floor, I hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to wait for the elevator to go down or take the stairs.
These past few days, my mood had been affected by Xiao Minxing's return, which also changed my behavior. Unlike before, I didn't deliberately go out for walks or exercise; logically speaking, taking the stairs would be better.
However, I felt that the elevator would be back soon, so I decided to wait a little longer. This way, I'd save energy and stay safe.
Just as I was about to make up my mind, I heard a voice say, "Miss, are you going up or down?"
I looked up and saw a man standing inside the elevator. He was pressing the open door button with one hand while letting the other hang naturally by his side, looking at me with clear eyes.
