As soon as I thought of this, I spoke up first: "If you have something to say, just tell Mina directly. I get along well with her, but no matter how good it is, we are not the same person. There are some things I won't convey for you."
Longwen smiled, revealing deep dimples on his face that were stunningly beautiful.
I quickly closed my eyes to regain my composure and told myself, "I have Xiao Minxing; he is the most handsome, he is the most handsome..."
However, this Good Fellow had a pleasant voice: "I didn’t say for you to relay messages; I was just expressing my gratitude for your care towards her. I love Mina, and of course, I hope she has a friend like you."
"Huh? What did you say? You love Mina?" I confirmed with him.
Longwen's expression was calm, and he answered as if it were obvious: "Yes, I love Mina. Otherwise, why would I be with her?"
I felt as if I had been struck by a bolt of shock; I couldn't process his logic at all. I couldn't understand why he loved Mina but wouldn't even say sorry to her, still twisting things around here.
Longwen remained silent for a moment before explaining: "It's not that I don't want to compromise with her; I just want to wait a few days before going to her. At least let Ye Guang's side stabilize first."
"But you could tell her in advance; she's very sad right now, and you're ignoring her." I thought he was quite peculiar.
Longwen wasn't angry at all; he patiently explained: "You should know her temper; she won't easily compromise or accept an apology. Otherwise, we could have settled things that day at your house. Right now, she hasn't figured things out yet. If I rush to find her and talk, it won't solve the problem; it might make her even angrier. It's better to let her calm down on her own."
Then he added, "Sister An, don't worry. I have no intention of bullying Mina; I just want to find a way for us to get along better in the future. If we keep arguing now, it will only increase conflicts later."
Alright then, another crafty one. These men are not only savvy in their careers but also have their own ways with women. Seeing them all riled up made me break out in a cold sweat.
However, when I returned to Zhi Xing and saw Xiao Minxing, my frustration grew even more. This Good Fellow didn't reduce my workload at all because I arrived late today; instead, he added another folder.
Although it was still the same project, just with different content, it would take more time than the previous two days to review properly.
After all the fuss, we got home just about ten o'clock.
Xiao Zhe had already eaten and gone to bed, while Sister Wang was trying to soothe him, and Sister Liu was waiting for us at home.
After heating up the dishes, I sat down to eat with Xiao Minxing, and she went back upstairs.
It had been a long day, like a roller coaster from the moment I got up in the morning—up and down. Plus, I didn't sleep well last night, so now I felt a bit dizzy and somewhat irritable. I wasn't really in the mood to eat; I just wanted to drink some soup and go upstairs to rest.
Xiao Minxing didn’t insist on me staying and continued eating by herself.
However, when I came out after taking a shower, I saw her bringing over a warm cup of milk and placing it on the bedside table.
"Drink this. I know you didn't sleep well last night; your dark circles are showing. If this continues, I'll have to take you to the zoo tomorrow."
No matter how annoyed I was, we could still joke around. I deliberately went over and pinched her playfully, saying, "Then I'll take you along too."
Xiao Minxing laughed and then asked me, "Did you work overtime at the studio today? Why did you come back so late?"
It's only now that she remembers to ask me about this; it's quite something. But as soon as I thought of the song Longwen sang and what he said, I forgot to hold her accountable and honestly replied, "This person is really strange."
As a result, Xiao Minxing argued back with me: "What's so strange about it? Opposites attract. If they can love each other, that's a good thing. There has to be a way for them to get along. I'm not speaking ill of Mina; she's been in the workplace for too long and has her own set of rules. These things are very useful when she’s working, but if it’s for someone she loves, it might not work as well."
"So you mean Longwen wants to change Mina?"
She looked at me and shook her head: "Probably not. Didn't he say he wanted to find a better way to get along? Besides, if Mina changed her nature, she wouldn't be herself anymore. Longwen is a smart person; he wouldn't do something like that."
Well, if that's really the case, then I can relax. As long as Mina's true feelings aren't misplaced again, using some methods should still work out. After all, two people need to adjust to each other.
Just like with Xiao Minxing and me; from being incompatible before to now accommodating each other. I'm definitely different from before. Besides knowing her true feelings, there have also been some changes in personality.
He has changed a lot, to the point where there is not even a trace of his past. I don't know if this is who he always was or if he changed because of me.
At this moment, I am lying in bed with a bit of a headache. Xiao Minxing lets me rest my head on his lap while he gently massages my temples with his fingers.
I am still thinking about Mina and Longwen, and before I know it, I have drifted off to sleep.
When I wake up, the sky is already bright, and our lives continue.
By the time autumn arrives, Xiao Zhe can stand up and walk. He calls out "Dad" and "Mom" loudly. Every time he bites down on the words to call us, Xiao Minxing rushes over to scoop him up in his arms.
It seems that only now has this man realized that this little child is not just a lump of flesh but a living being connected to him. The bond of kinship slowly begins to radiate between them.
In addition to managing the work at Anxing Comic Studio, I am also responsible for the business of Zhi Xing's subsidiary company. It is during this time that I realize buying a house back then was not as difficult for Xiao Minxing as I had imagined. Zhi Xing was just one of his many companies and appeared to be the smallest one on the surface.
Alongside it are many other companies and business projects, but these projects are directly connected to Xiao Minxing without any obvious business interactions; the personnel seem quite separated. Each company operates as an individual entity, with the highest level being just one person.
Xiao Minxing is only responsible for that topmost individual.
I don't know when these companies came into existence; Xiao Minxing hasn't told me. Anyway, he is busy with many things every day. When I finally took charge of that part of the projects, I no longer went to his company for work; instead, someone would directly deliver the materials to Anxing.
There is actually a level of concealment here, as if Xiao Minxing does not want anyone to know that his assets have grown unimaginably large. Even Manager Wu, who originally handed over responsibilities to me, has not been in contact since then. Just like Bai Xiaoqing from Anxing Studio, once I became familiar with those businesses, he withdrew and no longer managed this area.
