I really have no bad intentions; remarrying him is just a matter of time. However, when it comes to actually doing it, I always feel a bit strange.
Remarriage is for us, but at the civil affairs bureau, it still feels like we're at a marriage window.
I've never seen a woman with such a big belly going to get married. It's embarrassing to say, but I originally thought I would wait until the baby was born and I returned to normal before going; at least that would look better.
Who knew that when Xiao Minxing heard what I said, he scoffed and coldly replied, "If I had known today, why did I bother in the first place?"
Yes, why did he bother in the first place? If he had told me everything earlier, wouldn't there have been a divorce? He messed things up himself, and in the end, it's still my fault. Dealing with such a scheming man, I really have to hand it to him.
We slowly walked around the park near the Community. As it started to get dark, we headed home.
On the way, we passed a nut shop. Xiao Minxing stopped the car and said, "Let's go take a look."
I glanced over and remembered that Sister Liu had bought plenty at home, so I said, "Forget it; we don't need any more. There's still a lot left at home."
But Xiao Minxing had already opened the car door and came over to help me out while saying, "You've been at the Office all day. You can't just snack like you do at home. Let's buy some; you can keep them there and eat a few whenever you want. Didn't the Doctor say these things are good for you and the baby?"
I turned to look at him and curiously asked, "You remember this?"
Xiao Minxing softly replied, "I remember everything about you."
I don't know if it's true. Back when we were fighting the most fiercely, even though he didn't give me a penny, he never made me suffer in terms of food or clothing. He always bought new things before the old ones were used up.
At that time, I thought he was just messing with me, but now that I think about it, it's rare for someone to care so much.
Thinking about this made me unconsciously ask him, "Why did you buy everything home but never gave me money to use?"
Xiao Minxing glanced at me and slightly pulled his lips into a smile as he said, "Didn't I give it to you later? You just never used it."
"Then why didn't you give it to me in the beginning?" I pressed on with my question.
He looked a bit angry but after holding back for a moment, he finally said, "I was afraid you'd run away again."
I was momentarily stunned, and only when I realized he was serious did I tightly grasp his arm and whisper, "At that time, I was determined to marry you, so how could I run away?"
Xiao Minxing locked his hand over mine and after a long pause said, "But back then, I wasn't good to you. Didn't I mention divorce many times? And you also said you wanted to be with me, but in the end, didn't you just run away without saying anything? I don't want to go through that again."
His words were flat, as if he were talking about someone else's affairs, yet my heart ached as I listened. How much pain had he endured back then to be so guarded now?
The two of us lingered on the topic at the Nut Shop Entrance. Xiao Minxing tightened his grip on my hand and said, "This time, your words must count, do you understand?"
I nodded at him and replied, "You too. You need to take good care of yourself because from now on, it's all up to you for both of us."
As soon as the shop owner saw customers arriving, he came out to greet us and recommended various types of nutritious nuts.
It sounded like each type had different benefits, so we ended up taking some of this and some of that. By the time we left, Xiao Minxing was holding a large bag.
I looked at the big bag and said, "If you take that to the office like this, people might not think you've found a little secretary but rather a little pig."
Xiao Minxing replied seriously, "Who dares say that? I'll kick them out of the company. Clearly, there are two of us being raised here; there's even one more in my belly. If they can't see that at this size, they must have problems with their eyesight."
I...
We didn't take the bag out when we got home; it stayed in the car. According to him, it would be taken directly to the office on Monday.
Over the weekend, we spent a day together at a small resort on the outskirts of Haicheng.
I initially didn't want to go, but Xiao Minxing said he had been too busy lately and felt mentally exhausted, so he wanted to get away for a bit.
With that reasoning, I had no reason to refuse. Even though we were out, he still took care of me everywhere. I noticed he never truly relaxed; he must have answered countless phone calls and seemed to be directing others' work from afar.
Perhaps it wasn't really about him needing a break; it was just an excuse to take me out for a walk. How could I not understand his heart?
Returning to Zhi Xing on Monday meant another round of busyness. My ability to help him was limited; most tasks were handled by his other assistants. However, Xiao Minxing would always bring me close by his side.
It seemed everyone in the company had gotten used to it; they were all busy with their own work without anyone gossiping.
Only during some lengthy meetings did I find myself wanting to sleep. Every time I saw others focused while I was nodding off, I felt guilty. Fortunately, Xiao Minxing never said anything about it; even when he was busy with company matters, he hardly glanced my way.
However, the aftereffects of meeting Xiao Minhui over the weekend have arrived.
Just as I was following Xiao Minxing out of the conference room, his assistant hurried over to inform him that Xiao Minying had arrived and was waiting in the Reception Room.
Xiao Minxing squinted for a moment before telling me, "You go back and wait for me."
Upon hearing that his family had come, my heart jumped into my throat. How could I calmly go back? I quickly said, "Didn't you say you would let me know about these things? You also wanted me to remind you in time, so let's go see what she wants together."
Xiao Minxing hesitated for a moment, probably recalling that he was the one who said that. In the end, he didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the Reception Room.
Xiao Minying is the third among their siblings, just two or three years older than Xiao Minxing. She should be living better than Xiao Minhui, so she looked very young and well-dressed based on her attire and makeup.
When she saw Xiao Minxing, she stood up from her seat but didn't say anything; instead, she quickly glanced at me.
Xiao Minxing first pulled out a chair for me before sitting down in the chair opposite her and asking, "What’s going on?"
There were no pleasantries and no tension as I had expected; both sides remained calm.
Xiao Minying looked at me again and said to Xiao Minxing, "I want to talk to you about some things privately."
Xiao Minxing didn't even look at her and replied, "Just say it directly. Qiu Yuhan is my wife, the mother of my child, and will be the future boss of Zhi Xing. There's nothing that can't be heard."
