It seems there is no problem, but he is a young entrepreneur, a cunning businessman from Haicheng, an arrogant tyrant. How could he believe in feng shui now?
Of course, he wouldn’t explain this to me. That night, he didn’t take me back but directly brought me upstairs and said, “It’s getting late; just rest here. You can let Jin Ke come over by himself tomorrow morning.”
“But…”
I hadn’t finished my sentence when Xiao Minxing interrupted, “You can stay in your room, or you can choose to come here. I would welcome that.”
Not hearing the latter part of his sentence, I felt compelled to return to the room I had lived in before.
It was very clean inside, looking as if no one had ever left, and even the clothes in the closet were neatly arranged. I even found that bank card in the drawer of the vanity, the one Xiao Minxing had given me to use in the past.
I hadn’t taken it when we divorced, and he hadn’t touched it either; everything was placed as it originally was.
The small green plant I used to take care of was still on the windowsill. Looking at the soil in the pot, it seemed to have been watered not long ago and was thriving.
Although I said there were no good memories here, standing here again brought back many feelings of reluctance. After all, this was where we lived as a couple; it was the place that represented half my life’s dreams. Just as Xiao Minxing said, if it were sold to someone else, I would never be able to return.
Xiao Minxing’s voice came from the entrance, calmly saying, “You probably can’t wear your pajamas anymore. You might as well wear mine for now.”
He placed a set of thick white pajamas by the bed and then came over to look outside with me through the window.
After a long time, he said, “Actually, we initially wanted to live well together, right?”
I almost got scared by him. I looked up at the person in front of me in surprise, feeling somewhat unfamiliar.
It had always been me who wanted to live well; now he suddenly says something like this—was he testing me or mocking me like before?
Xiao Minxing turned his head; his eyes were still looking outside, but his expression seemed a bit gloomy. After a long while, he said, “Qiu Yuhan, I know what you’re thinking. But have you ever considered one thing?”
Of course, this wasn’t a question directed at me; I didn’t respond but stood sideways about a meter away from him, waiting for what he would say next.
“I’m not someone who fears my parents, right? But at that time you used them to pressure me into marrying you. Don’t you find that strange?”
Is it strange? I had never thought about this question before.
Xiao Minxing not only does not fear his parents, but to some extent, it seems that the Xiao Family Elders are somewhat afraid of him now. How could they possibly interfere with his marriage?
I could tell from their expressions that they never liked me from the first time they saw me. Of course, there was no obvious dislike; it was more of a presence that was acceptable if there, and fine if not. Even when I went to the Xiao Family ancestral home, they treated me as if I were invisible, never speaking much.
Yet somehow, at that time, they managed to force him into marrying me. It really is strange when I think about it.
"Could it be because of the pregnancy...?" This was hard for me to say, after all, it was a lie, and later Xiao Minxing exposed it.
Upon hearing this, he turned to look at me and casually asked, "Is that so? After getting married, did they take extra care of you because of the pregnancy?"
No, the Xiao Family rarely appeared after we got married; they never even came to our home. Every time we met, it was Xiao Minxing who brought me over. As for the pregnancy, they never asked about it, and in the end, even the fake pregnancy quietly faded away.
Except for Xiao Minxing himself, no one ever suspected anything.
I must have been short-circuited in my thinking before; I never considered anything unusual here, my thoughts were all focused on our grievances.
He looked at me quietly, his gaze deep and calm yet also inscrutable.
This made me unable to help but ask him again: "Why bring this up now?"
Xiao Minxing tugged at the corner of his mouth; the light in the room cast a glow on his face, giving his cheeks a hint of gold and making him look somewhat charmingly rogue.
Raising an eyebrow, he said: "If I say your IQ isn't enough, you might think I'm mocking you. But Qiu Yuhan, think about what you've been filling your mind with every day?"
"I just didn't think of this," I murmured, lacking confidence.
He merely snorted and coldly asked: "Then what have you been thinking?"
Based on past experience, such topics would lead us into a bad atmosphere. No matter what I thought in the past, it's already over now; I really don't want to talk about it anymore.
However, Xiao Minxing raised his voice and asked me: "Are you thinking about how many women I have outside?"
At those words, anger surged in my chest. I couldn't be bothered to think about anything else and replied to him: "Yes, back then you even brought them home and did those things in front of me. How could I not think about it?"
Xiao Minxing unceremoniously asked again: "And what do you think the outcome is? Can you stop me from bringing more women home?"
"I can't stop you; that's why I got divorced." It was somewhat fierce; how could he still have the confidence to question me about these things? Bringing women home and still having a reason for it?
However, Xiao Minxing has always been unpredictable. Just when I was excited to discuss this matter with him, he suddenly changed the subject and asked me, "The child is mine, right?"
"Ah? What?" My mind went blank for a moment as I stared at him, the earlier excitement mixed with surprise made me feel like I had misheard him.
But Xiao Minxing remained calm and looked at me, saying, "This child is mine; I knew it before the divorce."
"Then you...?"
He smiled and glanced at me, continuing my thought, "Then why would I still want a divorce?"
I nodded, my thoughts completely under his control. My entire nervous system was no longer responding to my own commands; I was just following Xiao Minxing's topic.
This time, he didn't take a sudden turn but continued along this line of reasoning.
"You wanted me to get treatment, right? I'll listen to you. I don't want the child to see a mentally unstable father right after birth. Besides, if I hadn't divorced at that time, would you really have ended up with Su Qian?"
I didn't know how to respond to him. According to our plan back then, that was indeed the case. But aside from Zhuo Feng, Mina, Su Qian, and me, no one else knew.
Su Qian definitely wouldn't tell him; I'm sure of that. And although Mina had somewhat changed her opinion of him at that time, we were still good friends, so she should be on my side too. As for Zhuo Feng, he was Su Qian's good friend; there was no reason for him to betray his teammate.
So where did he get this information? Who could have told him?
