He glanced at me from the corner of his eye and asked softly, "Do you think this illness is caused by you?"
I lowered my head, truly afraid to look at him again. I didn't realize that such a farewell was merely a source of sadness for me, while for him, it was almost fatal.
I even thought, if we could start over and everything was destined, wouldn't it have been better if we hadn't been so close from the beginning? That way, parting wouldn't hurt so much, and he wouldn't have fallen ill because of it.
Xiao Minxing paused for a moment, pulled one arm out, and gently stroked my hair, saying, "At that time, I hated you. I even swore in my heart that if I ever saw you again, I would definitely dig out your heart to see if it was red."
He spoke calmly, with little change in tone from before, but I felt a chill run down my spine, and my body instinctively shrank back.
"Are you scared?" he asked.
I didn't respond and tried hard to appear unafraid, but my mind easily drifted back to everything he had done for me when we first got married.
He must have recognized me long ago; he just chose not to say anything and instead tortured me in this cruel way, making me constantly feel the gap between the past and the present, experiencing his pain from that time.
Xiao Minxing asked again, "Knowing all this, do you hate me more now?"
I gently shook my head, feeling an extreme bitterness in my heart.
How could I blame him? His nature was like this; therefore, those who treated him poorly would eventually pay the price. I had nearly caused his death back then; the fact that he allowed me to live until today must mean he held back a lot.
The night was cool as water, and the noise outside gradually ceased. The thick curtains blocked out the lights from outside.
Inside the room, the silence was palpable. I lay on my side and could see Xiao Minxing's body exposed outside the blanket.
His chest was solid, his arms strong, and even the fine hair on his body showcased a uniquely masculine charm.
He indeed had the capital to possess better things, including women. No matter whether I was intentional or not in the past, I ultimately hurt him deeply. Time does not turn back, and now I want to make amends but there is no chance left because I cannot heal his wounds nor can I help him forget that painful period.
He seemed to be asleep, breathing evenly, perhaps having not spoken for a long time.
I turned over, twisting to the other side of the bed. Before I could settle in, I felt my body being embraced by him.
His voice was low and hoarse: "It's fine now; we owe nothing to each other and can start anew."
I was stunned, my heart aching as if someone had poured an entire bottle of vinegar over it, and tears flowed down, soaking into my hair.
Xiao Minxing continued: "The doctor said that heartache needs heart medicine. The reason I didn't act out all those years was that I suppressed myself desperately. But seeing you come back, back to my side, all the emotions I held down completely collapsed. So in the future, I might act out again. You need to be prepared and take responsibility for me."
I laughed and cried at the same time, unsure of what to say to him. My hand rested on his large hand, but he pressed it down again. We lay there for a long time, letting time flow by like water around us, washing away the dust of our past.
Waking up early in the morning, I turned over and felt around the bed with my hands and feet, only to find it empty.
I scrambled up and saw that the entire room was empty. Sitting on the bed in confusion, I couldn't figure out whether what happened last night was real or just a dream.
Perhaps it was because I had been under Xiao Minxing's pressure for too long that I sought a balance in my heart, giving him a reason to treat me poorly so that I could continue staying by his side.
But that feeling was too real; his warmth still seemed to linger around me, and his scent remained on the blanket.
At that moment, the bedroom door opened from the outside.
Xiao Minxing, dressed in formal attire, frowned and glanced at me at the entrance before reluctantly saying, "Can't get up? You're lazier now than before."
I stared at him, still unable to grasp the situation.
However, he continued, "Breakfast is on the table. I'm heading to work now. If anything comes up in the morning, call me. You can come to the company for lunch together."
"Ah? Why?" I asked.
He shot me another glare and turned to walk away while saying, "Take responsibility for healing me; don't let me feel sad anymore."
Wow, is that really what he said?
Since when did Xiao, the CEO, need someone else to take responsibility for him?
It seems last night's events weren't a lie; everything we talked about was real. But after clearing the air, I couldn't shake off this strange feeling.
I slowly left the bedroom, and Xiao Minxing was already gone. The air still held a hint of the sweet aroma of breakfast and his unique scent after a shower.
I took a deep breath and then remembered I had a little one in my belly as I hopped toward the dining table, immediately stopping to catch my breath.
Then my eyes involuntarily wandered to the corner of the room.
Well, going to his company might be good. I need to tell him to remove the cameras at home; living under his surveillance every day would be so awkward.
As usual, I spent the morning drawing at home and changed clothes before heading out around noon.
While sitting in a car outside Community, my gaze slipped and I unexpectedly spotted a familiar vehicle parked not far away.
The windows were tinted, so I couldn't see who was inside, but I recognized that car.
It belonged to Ye Guang Family.
It had been a long time since I last saw him. I didn't visit him when he was sick, nor did I even call. I had no idea how he was doing now. Was he better? Was he the one inside that car, or was it his mother again?
I didn't know why their car was parked here, but I certainly couldn't walk over to take a look. Since we had cut ties, I should do it cleanly. Besides, I had finally managed to have a new beginning with Xiao Minxing, and I wanted to cherish that.
I hailed a nearby taxi and got in without even glancing back, heading straight to Zhi Xing Company.
As I took the Elevator up, I could see that the staff on his floor were still busy. Although it was close to the end of the workday, no one seemed impatient; they were all focused on their tasks.
I knocked on the door of his Office. Hearing a voice from inside warmed my heart.
When I pushed the door open, I was momentarily stunned.
Lu Yishan was wearing a light blue wool coat and black trousers, her hair loosely tied back, standing in front of Xiao Minxing's desk.
What on earth was going on? Was my dinner invitation just a pretense while this was the real show?
Hadn't he overdone it last night? He moved me to tears several times, and now this morning I found him rekindling an office romance with his ex-girlfriend?
