"It's alright, you don't have to answer me," said Nie Ziming considerately, not having received a response from Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi took a deep breath.
Perhaps it was just an illusion earlier.
After all, the one she loved had always been Nie Ziming.
Plus, Nie Ziming had steadfastly waited for her all this time despite her getting married, getting pregnant, having a miscarriage, so she didn't really have any reason left to hesitate.
Moreover, Xiao Nanchen had also agreed to a divorce.
His agreement represented that he probably didn't have any expectations left for this marriage either.
She pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
The other side was clearly somewhat excited. "Is it true? Qiqi. Can I really wait for you?"
"Mm, I'll be getting a divorce from Xiao Nanchen in a few days. Let's get back together after the divorce," she said.
"Good," came the immediate response from the other side.
"It's late, don't keep working. Go to bed early, you hear?" Xia Qiqi reminded again.
"Okay."
"Promise me you won't trick me."
"Okay."
"Good night. Bye bye."
"Bye bye."
Nie Ziming watched as Xia Qiqi took the initiative to hang up the call.
Only then did he slowly make a call to Gu Yanxuan.
The other side asked right off the bat, "How was it? Is Xia Qiqi going to get back together with Xiao Nanchen?"
She had been secretly getting people to stalk Xiao Nanchen and Xia Qiqi all this while, afraid that the two of them would reconcile.
When she heard tonight that Xia Qiqi had taken the initiative to go to Xiao Nanchen's house, she was furious and immediately told Nie Ziming to make a call over.
"No," Nie Ziming gave an affirmative answer.
"Really?" Gu Yanxuan was clearly relieved. She was scared to death, afraid that Xiao Nanchen still couldn't let go of Xia Qiqi. She said, "Can you be certain?"
"Xia Qiqi said she'll be getting a divorce from Xiao Nanchen in a few days and asked me to wait for her," Nie Ziming stated plainly.
Amidst her delight, Gu Yanxuan also inexplicably felt angry. She couldn't help but curse, "That b*tch Xia Qiqi! She's not even divorced from Xiao Nanchen yet but is already cuckolding Xiao Nanchen. F*ck, what a slut!"
"Gu Yanxuan," Nie Ziming's tone clearly changed.
"To be honest, I feel like a woman like Xia Qiqi doesn't even deserve you. Fortunately, Xia Qiqi comes from a rich family, so I guess you're not losing out either."
"Enough," Nie Ziming said in a low voice. "Rather than talk about others, you should think about how to win over Xiao Nanchen!"
"Xiao Nanchen is different from Xia Qiqi. He definitely won't cheat while still married. So I'll only make my move aggressively after they're properly divorced. Xiao Nanchen will be mine before long."
Nie Ziming was clearly disinterested.
"I'll hang up now."
Gu Yanxuan also didn't say goodbye before directly hanging up the call.
After putting down the phone, Nie Ziming fell into thought.
He wondered how he was going to maintain his relationship with Xia Qiqi if she got a divorce.
Because they couldn't have sex.
As Nie Ziming thought about this, his expression grew increasingly gloomy.
...
After hanging up the call, Xia Qiqi heaved a heavy sigh.
She somehow felt a little oppressed in her heart facing Nie Ziming.
She didn't know since when it had become so difficult facing him.
She turned and walked into Xiao Nanchen's room.
Xiao Nanchen still hadn't put on his pants. She intended to help him put them on before leaving.
As for that kiss just now...
It was probably just the result of Xiao Nanchen not being in his right mind.
After all, his condition was completely different from usual.
She wouldn't take an unconscious kiss to heart at all.
She picked up the pajama pants on the bedside table, intending to go over to dress Xiao Nanchen.
At this time, Xiao Nanchen was lying in bed with his eyes closed.
Xia Qiqi thought he had fallen asleep again.
But just as she got close to him, she was suddenly scared by a cold male voice, "Don't touch me!"
It gave her a huge fright.
The sudden voice was also eerily cold. This ungrateful Xiao Nanchen!
"Why did you yell so loudly!" Xia Qiqi flared up. "I took care of you all night tonight. Didn't even get a word of thanks and you're yelling at me instead. Do you think I want to touch you?! I feel disgusted to death. Do you know you kissed me earlier? I nearly threw up!"
Xiao Nanchen lying on the bed clenched his fist tightly.
His expression was extremely cold.
Xia Qiqi was also furious.
And when someone is angry, they often have a hard time controlling their emotions, so they end up saying the most unpleasant things to the other party.
"Get lost!" Xiao Nanchen's voice was menacing through gritted teeth, cold and frightening.
"Xiao Nanchen! Do you even have a conscience! I f*cking took care of you all night tonight. Was I taking care of a dog?! Not only ungrateful, you're even biting back at me! How can you be so despicable!" Xia Qiqi was truly enraged.
On what basis was Xiao Nanchen telling her to get lost!
What right did he have to tell her to get lost!
Who did he think he was?!
The angrier she got.
Xia Qiqi's eyes turned red in that moment.
She must have been crazy to actually come take care of Xiao Nanchen.
She was sick!
Xia Qiqi's vision was a little blurred as she looked at Xiao Nanchen, looking at his cold expression, looking at his appearance as if he didn't want to say another word to her. She still grit her teeth and left in the end.
F*ck.
If she were nice to Xiao Nanchen again next time, she would be a dog!
A stupid dog!
Xia Qiqi slammed the door as she left.
The loud bang of the door revealed just how angry the departing figure was.
At this time, the man still lying in bed finally turned his head to look in the direction of the room's exit.
He had heard Xia Qiqi's conversation with Nie Ziming earlier.
Although Xia Qiqi was in the living room, since the door wasn't closed there was no sound insulation. So while he didn't know what Nie Ziming said from the other side, what Xia Qiqi said came through loud and clear.
She said she would be divorcing him in a few days, and would get together with Nie Ziming after the divorce.
And earlier when he was lying in bed, there was a period of time when Xia Qiqi left the room to take that call where he quietly mustered up his courage, hoping to tell Xia Qiqi that they could start over. But in the end, he could no longer bring himself to say those words.
He thought, since Xia Qiqi took the initiative to care for him, it meant that she had developed feelings for him, no matter how little.
He had actually been awake and aware the entire time she was taking care of him.
He was just pretending to be unconscious.
He was afraid that the moment he awoke, she would turn and leave.
Yet in the end, he still couldn't restrain himself when Xia Qiqi got close to his chest.
Xia Qiqi's care for him tonight had truly exceeded his imagination.
He really wanted...wanted so badly.
And so he acted on those desires.
Moreover, he didn't feel Xia Qiqi resisting.
With no resistance, he became even more urgent.
He even vaguely felt Xia Qiqi responding.
He thought, he truly thought that in their time married, Xia Qiqi had also developed feelings for him...
It turned out, it was really just his own wishful thinking.
Her caring for him was probably due to a guilty conscience. After all, Xia Qiqi was truly not a bad person at heart.
Or perhaps it was just that she couldn't resist Comfort's demands. When he thought about it carefully, it was clear that Comfort had made her come.
Xiao Nanchen suddenly laughed.
He laughed out tears at his own deluded imaginings.
