For Jin Ke, she was too nice at the beginning, so even now that I know she is deliberately keeping her distance from Xiao Minxing, I still feel a bit reluctant and just stood there without saying anything. Besides, it's hard to say who initiated this situation between them.
Xiao Minxing simply said, "When I called her at night, she was probably out having fun and even made up a lie about a classmate needing her."
At this point, Xiao Minxing paused for a moment, then looked up at me and said, "You know I hate being lied to."
Although his gaze wasn't as fierce as before, hearing those words still made me shiver involuntarily and step back a little.
Xiao Minxing seemed quite pleased with my fear; he slightly curled the corner of his lips, and a smile spread across his face, quickly softening the stern expression he had earlier, making him less intimidating than at first.
I regained my voice and said, "Maybe her colleague really had something to deal with; she might just be out having fun."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minxing put down his cup and walked over to the terrace.
Although the space here was large, I was originally standing at the Entrance. After he approached, he intentionally leaned closer to me, quickly pushing me into a corner with my back against the wall, leaving me unable to move.
Leaning down, he stared intently into my eyes and said, "Maybe so, but you paid her to take care of you. She didn't do that; she went out without telling you and made you worry. Is that something you can tolerate?"
I almost blurted out that if I could tolerate you, what couldn't I tolerate about her?
But then I quickly remembered that her target was Xiao Minxing, so I shook my head and said, "Then... why not replace her? What will you do?"
I looked at Xiao Minxing and asked.
He suddenly shot me a strange glance and said in a teasing tone, "How about I invite her directly to my room to take care of just me?"
This made me feel completely unwell, and I didn't dare to look up at him. I lowered my head, trying to find a way to slip away.
But thinking about it made me feel quite dissatisfied, so I muttered, "Whatever you say, she is interested in you anyway, but you can't stay here anymore."
Xiao Minxing's hand suddenly grabbed my arm.
The pain made me look up at him immediately, and I happened to see the flames burning in his eyes. His voice was icy cold: "Are you so eager to push me away?"
I felt a chill run down my spine, not understanding what he meant by that. Didn't he say he wanted to keep Jin Ke in the room? Why was he blaming me now?
God knows I was just as frustrated upon hearing this; I started regretting my earlier decisions.
However, there was no chance to express these thoughts to him. Xiao Minxing's other hand had already wrapped around my waist, pressing his body tightly against mine.
Perhaps afraid of touching my abdomen, his upper body remained slightly pulled back, but his legs were firmly pinning mine down. With the strength of his hands, he forced me against the wall, leaving me unable to move at all.
I even felt it was somewhat difficult to breathe. Looking at his furious expression, I thought in a daze that I must not make him angry. If he fell ill again now, I wouldn't know what to do.
"What did you say?" Xiao Minxing asked me in a low voice.
I didn't know how he heard my mumbling, but since he did, any attempt to cover it up would only infuriate him more. I could only speak softly: "I'm afraid you'll get angry and make yourself sick again. I didn't mean anything else; I just want you to be happy. Really, whatever happens with Jin Ke is fine; I'm okay on my own. I can take care of myself."
My words were disjointed; some thoughts went unspoken while others were repeated multiple times.
Xiao Minxing finally loosened his grip a bit, gently smoothing my hair by my temple before turning back into the room.
He finished the remaining wine in his glass in one gulp, and when he looked at me again, he seemed to have calmed down: "It's nothing, I was just... joking with you. Get some rest, we'll go out together tomorrow."
Joking? My goodness, when did Xiao, the CEO learn to joke? I didn't find it funny at all; in fact, it felt quite frightening.
The next morning, when I got up, Xiao Minxing had even prepared breakfast.
His cooking skills were not inferior to Jin Ke's; it was just that due to his busy schedule, he usually opted to eat out.
Looking at the warm colors of the food on the table and smelling the delicious aroma of breakfast made me think that this person must be a chef whose talent was wasted in the corporate world. With just this casual display of skill, he could probably sell dishes at a good price in a restaurant.
Xiao Minxing was truly one of the few intelligent people I had ever met. He seemed to grasp the essence of whatever he observed after just a casual glance, and then he would replicate it himself. Even if it wasn't exactly the same, it would be pretty close.
This applied not only to cooking but to many other things as well.
That said, how could someone so smart end up in such a dire situation because of his father's failing company?
Thinking of this led me to recall what Mina had entrusted me with, so I tried to talk to Xiao Minxing: "Last night, Mina also suggested that I find a new nanny."
He glanced at me without saying a word and continued eating his food.
I had no choice but to keep talking: "Mina is truly my best friend; she always helps me. I don't even know how to help her."
This time, Xiao Minxing spoke up with a cold tone: "How do you want to help her? Should I talk to her on your behalf?"
My face instantly burned up; it was so embarrassing to be seen through so quickly. But this was also the reason I spoke up. Since he had already figured it out, I could only brace myself and continue.
"Do you agree or disagree? I think she is very sincere. If there’s anything you can’t agree to, just tell her directly. Although I don’t understand what your contracts are about, I believe that if Mina hears your opinion, she will definitely try her best to make changes."
Xiao Minxing had been silent, but I believed he had heard everything I said. After I finished speaking, I fell quiet as well, waiting for his response.
However, I still underestimated the iceberg in front of me.
He didn’t even glance at me. After finishing the porridge in front of him in one go, he said, "I'm going to change clothes. You eat quickly; we’ll leave soon."
"Um..."
He had already entered the room and closed the door with a thud, shutting me and my voice outside.
It seemed that this matter wouldn’t reach a conclusion today. However, I wasn’t planning to give up. Perhaps if I said it a few more times, he would be moved? For Mina's sake, I was willing to go all out.
Everything awaited clarification regarding Jin Ke's troubles; we would talk about the new nanny later.
As soon as the Housekeeping Center heard that we were dissatisfied with Jin Ke, they immediately rushed over with smiles to ask for the reason.
Xiao Minxing directly recounted what happened yesterday and mentioned something I didn’t know.
“She secretly entered my room and rummaged through my things, and even kept our photos.”
