Her words were quite special as she sharply said, "I just realized that you two really match."
"What do you mean? Didn't you used to say every day that I was a slave to Xiao Minxing? How come now we match? No wonder people say women are the most changeable; just look at you."
Although I said this to her, I didn't really care too much. After all, I've known Mina for a long time. Whether joking or serious, we understood each other's feelings to some extent.
She still wasn't convinced: "Even slaves can match with someone."
I gently pushed her: "You're so troublesome. I've never heard of a slave matching with someone."
She seemed unwilling to give up and brought the topic back: "This matter will definitely make the news within a week. If it doesn't, there are only two reasons."
I looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
"First, Xiao Minxing is really impressive and can completely block news about himself; second, the whole selling house thing is very strange. He might be doing it on purpose. As for why? Well, just look at your current situation and you'll understand."
Alright, I had considered the second reason too, but I didn't believe he would do something like that.
Someone like Xiao Minxing, being domineering is his style. As for being subservient, that would have to wait until the next life. Plus, this matter also involves Old Master Xiao and Su Qian. So after Mina analyzed it, I leaned more towards the first explanation.
However, this was just a discussion between us. If Xiao Minxing didn't want to tell the truth, even if I asked him, it wouldn't be of any use.
Thinking of this, I didn't want to continue the conversation and stepped outside while saying, "Let's go eat. No matter what, that's his business. I can't manage it and don't want to either. Right now, considering he gave me a house during the divorce, letting him stay here is also helping him."
Mina stepped out behind me but noticed Jin Ke first and pulled me back.
When we went outside, Jin Ke had his back turned to us and was quickly heading toward the kitchen, so he probably didn't see Mina pull me back. After dragging me into the room, this Good Fellow awkwardly asked, "Did your maid just eavesdrop on us?"
I turned to glance at her and said, "She just happened to pass by; you're overthinking it. What’s so interesting about two women gossiping?"
Mina tilted her head and frowned for a moment, then murmured, "Something doesn't seem right. Have you ever thought about why someone so young would want to be a nanny?"
I replied honestly, "Being a nanny or a postpartum caregiver is a profession now. Some people start working in this field right after graduating from college, so it's natural for them to be young."
She asked me strangely, "Is that so? But her behavior just now was a bit odd, wasn't it?"
After she mentioned it, I carefully recalled how Jin Ke acted when she left. It did seem a bit strange, but saying she was eavesdropping felt like an exaggeration. Not to mention we weren't discussing anything inappropriate; even if we were, it had nothing to do with her. What was the point of listening in?
However, if I said this to Mina, she would probably say I was being too carefree, so I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Have you been too tense lately? Why would she listen to us? Come on, let's go check if the food is ready."
When we stepped into the dining room, Jin Ke had already brought out a pot of soup and smiled at me, saying, "Sister An, if you're hungry, you can have some first. I still have two dishes that will be ready soon."
Mina never held back when it came to food at my place, so she grabbed a spoon and served herself two bowls.
After tasting it, she nodded at me and said, "Looks like I need to come over more often for meals. It's really good! Why didn't I think of eating at your place before?"
With her attitude, all I could do was roll my eyes.
By the time all the dishes were ready, we had finished the soup. However, looking at the beautifully presented dishes on the table, we couldn't help but dig in again.
While eating, Mina chatted with me about various things.
"Anan, did you know? I heard Lu Yishan recently started working at Xiao Zong's company. I didn't find out exactly what she's doing there, but I heard she's on the same floor as him and they can see each other every day."
This news felt like poison to me. Yet when Mina spoke about it, her eyes were on Jin Ke and she continued with interest, "Now Xiao Zong has something going on—his beautiful ex-girlfriend is by his side every day. Who knows? We might hear about new marriage news soon."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" I put down my chopsticks and stood up to walk toward the bedroom, feeling a mix of emotions inside.
Mina seemed completely unaware that I was upset; she sat calmly and whispered something to Jin Ke.
Just as she had said when she arrived, she indeed didn't go to work that afternoon and stayed to keep me company. However, my mood was affected by her earlier comments. Several times I thought about calling Xiao Minxing to ask him what was going on.
No matter when I hear news of him being with someone else, I cannot remain indifferent.
But before he moved in, before he said those things to me, whenever I heard such news, I would comfort myself that we were not meant to be, that we were incompatible. Even if we were together, it would only increase our suffering. If that were the case, it would be better for him to find someone he truly loves.
However, after a night has passed, everything is different. I even feel that we could really start over. And just as Xiao Minxing said, if we were honest and trusted each other from the beginning this time, wouldn’t the outcome be good?
Just then, Mina brought me such news.
She made a special trip today and stayed to accompany me. Did she come just to see how I would digest this news?
Restless, I couldn’t even focus on my drawing. I went in and out of the Study Room several times. Finally, Mina couldn’t stand it anymore and turned off the TV, saying, “Let’s go out for a walk while the sun is nice.”
A walk might really do me some good, so I changed my clothes and followed her out.
As soon as we stepped into the elevator, she mysteriously said to me, “Don’t you think that little nanny is strange?”
I shook my head and honestly replied, “I don’t think she’s strange; I think you’re strange. It’s not the weekend, and you’re spending your whole afternoon with me. What’s it for? And talking about Lu Yishan—don’t you know I really dislike her?”
She nodded seriously, her tone very certain: “I know, which is why I informed you about this news as soon as I found out. If you still have feelings for Xiao Minxing, since he’s living with you now, you should act quickly before you regret it later.”
I was about to retort when she continued, “Also, did you notice that your little nanny didn’t look happy when she heard the news?”
