I got off work early and went to the largest supermarket in Haicheng with Su Qian. We picked out some things that Mina usually likes to eat. When it was time to pay, Su Qian didn't insist on paying for my share, which made me feel much better.
He held the items in his hands and said, "Alright, you go ahead and get busy. I'm going back to prepare now."
I asked him, "What time are you leaving tomorrow? I'll see you off."
Su Qian smiled and said, "No need to see me off. I'm just going to check on her and will be back soon."
We parted ways at the supermarket entrance. Since I had come here in his car, I could only take a taxi back to the office, where I unexpectedly found Xiao Minxing waiting for me.
He casually asked, "Where have you been?"
I was puzzled; I had been working here for so long and he had never come by. Just today, when I went out with Su Qian, he showed up. It felt unusual as if something was really off.
I started to suspect there might be a spy in the company.
He grabbed my hand and said, "You look like you’re not convinced. What are you thinking?"
I asked him a bit angrily, "Are you monitoring me again? I just stepped out for a moment and you came to check up on me. I've never seen anyone like you."
Xiao Minxing smiled at me and said, "There's no surveillance. I just thought since you've been here, I haven't come to see you. Today happened to be free, so I came by. I didn't expect to catch you when you weren't here."
Such coincidences are hard to believe.
However, I didn't want to create any unnecessary misunderstandings between us, especially since there really wasn't anything going on with Su Qian. So I straightforwardly said, "Su Qian is going to Hong Kong tomorrow to see Mina, so I went to buy some things for him to take along."
Mentioning this reminded me of Longwen's family background. I looked at him and asked, "You know Longwen is the son of the Long Family Group, right?"
Xiao Minxing tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Su Qian told you?”
“Otherwise? None of you told me anything. I’ve asked you several times, but you’ve been vague. I don’t understand what significance it has for you to keep these things from me.”
Xiao Minxing still wouldn’t admit it. He looked at me with resentment and said, “I didn’t keep anything from you. It’s you who always asks half-heartedly and then gives up.”
“Oh, so now you’re blaming me? If I didn’t know your personality, I would feel guilty right now,” I argued with him.
However, he didn’t back down at all. He looked at me coldly and asked, “Is that so? Then what kind of person am I?”
“You have a terrible personality. If you don’t want to say something, even if I pry and ask until the end, you still won’t tell me. You’ll just scold me for being nosy. Think about it: how many things have you kept from me until now? How many did I only find out in the end? It’s been like this since we got married, through the divorce, and now with the companies you’re managing that you gave me shares in. How many of those did you discuss with me beforehand? None, right? You just made decisions on your own, and even when I asked, you wouldn’t say anything.”
To be honest, when he first questioned me about going out with Su Qian, I was a bit scared. But thinking about all the things he had done without letting me know anything made that fear disappear without a trace, and I focused on arguing with him.
Xiao Minxing squinted at me, and judging by his expression, he didn’t feel ashamed at all. He provocatively asked, “Is this how you change the subject?”
“I’m not changing the subject; it’s you who wants to know these things. Didn’t you ask what’s wrong with your personality?” I retorted angrily.
Suddenly, he stood up, leaning almost entirely over me, his face just a few centimeters away from mine. Then he said seriously, “Then why don’t you talk about yourself?”
Before I could even ask him what there was to say about myself, he bitterly said, “You recognized me early on; why didn’t you speak up? Instead, you used deceit to get married. Have you thought about what would happen if you recognized the wrong person for your whole life?”
Would I? I hadn’t thought about it. But weren’t we talking about Su Qian and Longwen earlier? How did it turn into this? However, Good Fellow showed no signs of stopping and continued to stare at me while saying, “I think from the very beginning, you never intended to marry me; instead, you wanted to marry a rich and handsome man. So later on, when you saw that I was sick and my money wasn’t as much as you imagined, you wanted to divorce me. Now that you've heard Longwen’s family is wealthier, you're trying to find out more about him. And Su Qian, you've been entangled with him all along—Qiu Yuhan, what exactly do you want?”
His lips were almost touching my face with each word seeming to be directed into my eyes. Besides those resentful phrases, I could also see his thin lips moving.
My mind felt blank; although those words entered my ears, I couldn’t discern their meaning at all.
Xiao Minxing gritted his teeth, his face very close to mine; I could almost count his eyelashes. At that moment, he looked into my eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Not talking anymore? Did I expose your true thoughts, making you feel guilty?"
His words stirred me up again, making me want to hit him if I could win.
I pushed against his body with all my strength, but he didn't budge. I only used my hand to block his face and said, "What guilt? I don't even know what nonsense you're talking about. Get up, let's sit down and clarify things."
Finally, he moved back a little, but his eyes were still fixed on me without a moment's relaxation.
To be honest, even though my relationship with Xiao Minxing is good now and he accommodates me in everything, if he really gets angry, I still wouldn't dare to confront him. After all, those past misdeeds are deeply etched in my memory.
I quietly pulled my body back as much as possible to maintain distance from him before I began to review what we had just talked about.
Alright, I discovered the biggest problem: Xiao Minxing was just rambling earlier.
Yes, the things he said were just nonsense. He clearly knows that the person I love has always been him, yet he dragged Su Qian and Longwen into it. The only reason for this was that he didn't want me to continue on this topic. Since he started it himself, he's now forcing me to feel guilty.
What kind of person is this? How did I end up with such a husband who clearly made the first mistake but refuses to admit it and forces me to make mistakes instead?
For someone like him, I could only speak frankly and point it out: "I understand now. You know everything in your heart; you're just looking for an excuse not to tell me. Now that I've forgiven you, what do you think?"
As I said this, I kept looking at Xiao Minxing's face. He looked back at me and after a moment of silence, the lines on his face suddenly relaxed as if he wanted to smile but then shot me a glare and said, "It's not entirely true. Let's not talk about Longwen for now; he truly has no ulterior motives towards Mina. But Su Qian? You'd better stay away from him."
