Two people were talking and walking, and when they got in the car, he didn't rush to go home but instead drove towards the other end of the city.
I looked at the unfamiliar route and asked him, "Sister Liu must have cooked at home waiting for us. Where are you heading?"
He glanced at the time and said, "I already told her when we left that we wouldn't be back for lunch, so we're eating out today. Special days should be treated specially. Also, I mentioned that I would take you to do something big today."
"Huh? Isn't remarrying a big deal?"
Xiao Minxing nodded and said, "Yes, but there's one more thing."
Alright, that should be two big things. However, my interest wasn't very high; my heart was filled with the happiness of being together again, and everything else seemed unimportant to me.
The car passed through the streets of the city under the midday sun. Through the window, I could see people basking in the warm sunlight outside; their faces showed either haste or leisure, looking good without the shivering from the cold.
There were also vehicles brushing past our car, moving away in the distance or just nearby.
Xiao Minxing carefully watched the road and finally drove past the crowded area onto the main road of the city. His speed picked up as he drove along the wide avenue ahead.
"Where are we going? It's already noon; if we don't find something to eat soon, I'll cry for you," I said from behind, even making a face at him through the rearview mirror.
The corners of his mouth lifted, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and his voice was cheerful as he replied, "Just hold on a little longer; we'll be there soon."
"How is that possible? Even if it's a great restaurant, we have to order first, and then they still need to prepare the food."
Xiao Minxing looked at me seriously this time and asked, “Qiu Yuhan, have you heard of reservations?”
“Ah?”
Well, it has been a long time since I experienced such an intellectual crushing, and here it is again today. I might as well keep my mouth shut; otherwise, before long, I would think of myself as a fool.
Xiao Minxing actually drove the Car directly to the port. When I saw the ships docked there, I was a bit stunned. I gently tugged at his shirt from behind and asked, “Aren't we just going out for a meal before heading to Sea City?”
He shook his head and said, “Not today. We’ll eat at the restaurant on the ship. Another day, I'll take you to the island to have a look; we can also go on vacation. But that might have to wait until after you give birth. I don’t want to be having fun only to hear a baby crying.”
I couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. However, Xiao Minxing had already parked the Car. A boat specifically for maritime emergencies quickly came over to pick up passengers, offering us various prices for different destinations.
Xiao Minxing casually chose a boat and pointed to the nearby Cruise Ship, saying, “Let’s go there.”
The Cruise Ship was enormous. To be honest, although I had lived in Sea City for many years, I had only seen places like this from afar and rarely even had the chance to look at them. There were too many reasons limiting people's freedom, with the most painful being the lack of money.
As for going in to eat or anything like that, I had never even dreamed of it because, as the masters say, dreams come from the foundation of life. Since my life didn’t include such experiences, my dreams certainly wouldn’t either.
At the entrance of the Cruise Ship, there were reception staff in uniforms—beautiful women and handsome men.
I had just stared at them for a moment when Xiao Minxing said, “Let’s go; stop staring at others. Your most handsome husband is right here.”
Indeed, Xiao Minxing’s appearance was definitely not inferior to any of them. The key was that he also possessed the determination and decisiveness needed in business, along with the maturity and steadiness gained from experiencing many things—qualities that many people lacked.
In any case, right now he appeared to me as a perfect gentleman; everything about him looked good, and the more I looked, the more I liked him.
There weren't many guests inside, but there were some scattered here and there. Quite a few looked familiar to me. After we sat down, someone glanced over here and smiled lightly.
The waiter quickly brought out the food. Xiao Minxing said, "Let's eat a little first; I’m afraid you won't be able to eat much later."
Just as I reached out my hand, the sound of melodious music filled the cabin, coming from the violin ensemble, which was enchanting to listen to.
The food was incredibly delicious. I felt like I needed more hands; even with Xiao Minxing's help, I wished I could eat everything on the table. However, the most painful thing about being in the late stages of pregnancy is that I simply couldn't eat much. A lot of space in my belly was taken up by the big round ball, so I could only eat small portions frequently, unlike before when I could stuff myself with a lot of food.
Xiao Minxing only casually ate a few bites after I had finished.
As soon as he put his hand down, a large LED screen in front lit up, and the previous music stopped.
I looked surprised at what was happening and asked Xiao Minxing, "What's going on? Are they going to show a movie here?"
He almost fainted from my response and glanced forward, saying, "Wife, when you’re not talking, you’re truly a great beauty. But once you open your mouth, even the most stunning looks can't save your intelligence."
I reached out to hit him but heard a voice coming from the speakers in front.
Turning my head to look, I saw that the screen had unexpectedly started showing photos of me and Xiao Minxing—pictures from childhood all the way to now, including ones taken at the villa before our divorce.
There were only a few dozen photos—not too many—but each frame felt like a warm current flowing through my heart.
My vision began to blur; I couldn't see those photos clearly or the person in front of me.
Xiao Minxing gently wiped my eyes with a tissue and softly said, "Why are you crying? What will you do when I confess my feelings to you?"
I looked at him, unable to say a word, and new tears flowed out again.
Unexpectedly, I heard Mina's voice: "Anan, let your man stand up and speak; we can't hear anything from under the table."
I looked up and saw not only Mina but also Zhuo Feng and Su Qian had arrived.
They stood on one side of the cabin, very close to the stage in front of the screen.
At that moment, Xiao Minxing hugged me and got up to walk towards them.
He took the microphone from Mina's hand and said clearly, "Thank you all for coming to my engagement party with Anan."
I almost spat out the water I had been suppressing my emotions with, surprised as I turned to look at the stage, only to see Xiao Minxing deliberately raising his eyebrows with a smile.
We had just gotten our marriage certificate; how did it turn into an engagement party?
However, no one at the scene asked. Everyone seemed to be enchanted by Xiao Minxing, just staring at us with silly smiles, without anyone probing into what kind of party this really was.
And this guy was being so high-profile for the first time, even talking about our past experiences on stage. Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to mention the parts where he mistreated me; he only picked some fun moments from our lives to share with everyone.
I buried my head on the table, already regretting coming out with him today, not knowing when he had planned this. It was evident that there were no outsiders present; it was either his friends or colleagues from the company.
