Xiao Zhe saw us return and couldn't be held back, shouting and kicking his legs to get down.
Xiao Minxing let Sister Liu put him down as soon as we entered the house. Then this little Good Fellow dashed over to our feet like an arrow, and directly held onto Xiao Minxing's legs to stand up, babbling "wah wah wah" without making any sense, drooling a lot, but I couldn't understand a word.
Xiao Minxing bent down to pick him up, cradling him in his hands as he walked inside.
The child was on Xiao Minxing's body, his eyes rolling back to look at me, and finally, he waved his little hand at me.
Sister Liu followed and said, "He probably wants Anan to hold him. He couldn't find her this afternoon and got anxious; he searched downstairs several times."
Xiao Minxing turned to glance at me and pinched his cheek, saying, "You should focus on what you have. Isn't it good that I'm holding you? Do you still want to find your mom? Kid, let me tell you, your mom is mine; you can only be held by me. Just make do with me for now."
I was left speechless by his words and wanted to go over to take Xiao Zhe, but he stubbornly refused and didn't care if he was crying; he just headed upstairs.
I went to wash my hands and helped Sister Wang serve the Meals. When I went upstairs to find the two of them, they had already started playing together. Little Good Fellow had seemingly forgotten about me and was laughing exaggeratedly.
After dinner, the family played for a while longer before handing him over to Sister Liu for a bath and bedtime around eight o'clock.
Xiao Minxing and I returned to the Bedroom.
He seemed to be in a really good mood today, so he looked at me and said, "Isn't it a long time since we bathed together? How about we save some time today?"
I deliberately glanced at him and said, "No, you go by yourself."
He bent down and picked me up, saying, "I heard that women are the best at saying one thing and meaning another. You say you don't want it, but what you really want is for me to take you, right?"
With a mischievous grin on his face, his teasing tone had a special charm.
I felt my face flush, and my hands unconsciously wrapped around his neck.
The hot water in the bathroom was already running. As soon as Xiao Minxing entered, he placed me on a chair to one side, removing his clothes while saying, "I feel like I haven't really looked at you in a long time. You were so chubby when that little guy was born, but today you're so light in my arms. I need to check you out carefully later."
"Huh? What’s there to check? Am I supposed to hide the fat?" I exclaimed, trying to stand up and leave.
But he had already blocked my way, grinning wickedly as he said, "Or should I just take matters into my own hands?"
I tried to back away, but he pursued me relentlessly until he finally reached out.
We playfully tumbled into the bathtub, the steam filling the room uncontrollably. Xiao Minxing's eyes seemed to ignite with fire as they lingered on me for a long time before he suddenly lunged forward.
Just like that, we spent nearly two hours in the bath, changing the hot water several times. Thankfully, the bathtub was large enough for us to move around freely. However, by the time we got out, my legs were trembling a bit.
He looked at me and laughed heartily, teasingly saying, "You can't be like this. You need to exercise more. We should at least do it once in the morning and twice at night; otherwise, if you really go to work at the company, your waist won't be able to handle it."
My face was burning hot as I wrapped myself in a towel and headed towards the bed, not forgetting to retort, "Is this how you exercise your waist? But why do I feel so sore?"
Xiao Minxing had already followed me over. Before I could react, he pushed me down again and leaned close to my ear, saying, "That's because we tried a new position. Now just lie there and don't move; let's stick to the traditional method. I'll take care of you."
I can't believe how well this guy drives now, still using the traditional old method. I'm simply...
I can't even find the words to say because my mouth is blocked by him, and I'm pinned beneath him. The initiative is entirely in his hands, and all I can do is make muffled sounds.
However, the next morning, I didn't even have the energy to get out of bed, but Xiao Minxing got up early as usual and happily went to work.
After the Anxing comic project was settled, according to him, I was supposed to start working immediately.
I hadn't worked in a long time, and suddenly having to go to a place called a company every day at a set time was hard for me to adapt to. I frowned and said to him, "Isn't Bai Xiaoqing managing things well? Why can't she just continue managing it? Why do I have to go?"
Xiao Minxing replied, "She has her uses, but managing comics isn't her specialty. So I hope that once you go, you can focus more of your energy on this."
"But I might not do as well as she does?" I didn't dare look him in the eye because running a business isn't something anyone can just pick up easily.
Xiao Minxing said, "How could that be? The Xiao family has so many resources; are they just for show? Besides, didn't I say before? If you don't do well, I'll teach you. If it fails, we can start over."
Alright then, it turns out all our conversations were just a prelude. He had paved this path over a year ago and was just waiting for me to step onto it. Even if there are many difficulties, as Xiao Minxing put it, I need to have the ability to support myself.
In the few days before starting work at Anxing, I went to see Mina.
Since we moved, I hadn't seen her again. Usually, when we talked on the phone, we only exchanged a few words. It felt like she was always busy and didn't even have time to chat.
In the future, I might end up like her too. So while I still have a little time left, I decided to go see her.
Mina has already bought a new house next to her company. I went to see it once during the renovation; it's very beautiful, and everything inside is automated. Even the entrance lights are temperature-sensitive. I already feel like this woman could live on another planet; her pace is simply not that of an Earthling.
I rang the doorbell at the entrance, still contemplating how to exclaim when I see her, but instead, a man's face appeared at the entrance.
And he was quite a handsome man, very young, looking only in his early twenties. He was tall and sturdy, with large, expressive eyes, long eyelashes, and a perfectly shaped nose. He even had deep dimples on his face.
Mina shouted from inside, "Is it Anan? Come in! Why are you just standing at the entrance?"
I hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of my mouth and smiled at the handsome guy.
He smiled back at me, his gaze electrifying, sending me back to my teenage years. My heart raced so much that I wished it would just stop.
Mina was lounging on the sofa with a fruit platter in front of her, watching TV while eating fruit, and yes, she even had a face mask on.
I swallowed hard, awkwardly glancing at the man before turning back to Mina.
She casually said, "Longwen, you go ahead and do your own thing. I'm going to chat with Anan for a bit."
The man politely nodded at me and then walked into a room.
I plopped down next to Mina and stammered, "Are you being kept?"
