An Nuan was deeply moved in silence.
Without comparison, one can never truly know the extent to which a man can be good or how despicable he can become.
The Gu Yansheng of the past was indifferent and insincere in his words to her, while the current Ye Jinghuai dotes on her and cares for her in every possible way.
"So late at night, my dear wife, are you missing me?" Ye Jinghuai's voice came from the other end, filled with playful laughter.
An Nuan's throat trembled as she held back her subtle emotions and replied, "Mmm."
Ye Jinghuai was clearly surprised.
An Nuan didn't like to express her feelings unless it was a deep affection.
Except when the love ran deep.
He chuckled lightly, "Counting the days, I'll be back in ten days."
"What for?"
"The ovulation period."
"...What can I even say to that."
He laughed again, "There's no other way, I have to work harder for our baby's sake."
"Ye Jinghuai," An Nuan called out to him.
"Yes?"
"Xiao Nanchen and Xia Qiqi got a divorce."
"Oh." Ye Jinghuai responded without any extra emotions, "Isn't that something that was bound to happen sooner or later?"
"I was just thinking, will the same thing happen between us one day?"
"No." Ye Jinghuai said decisively, with a slightly serious tone.
An Nuan pursed her lips.
It was just that Xia Qiqi's divorce suddenly struck a chord in her heart.
She always thought that they would never reach that point.
But in the end, it happened just like it did in the previous life.
So she always wonders.
What can her rebirth really change?!
Is it possible that, no matter what happens, the end result will still be the same?!
Late at night, when it's quiet, one tends to think a lot.
"Since the moment we got married, I never thought about divorce," Ye Jinghuai said seriously.
An Nuan's eyes flickered.
So when they talked about a marriage of convenience in the beginning.
He just agreed without hesitation.
Was he deceiving her?!
Damn it.
So all those terms and conditions she seriously discussed with him, were they really just empty words?
"Ye Jinghuai, when did you actually start liking me?" An Nuan asked him seriously.
"Guess."
"I don't want to guess," An Nuan said stubbornly.
"If you won't guess, then I won't tell you."
"Ye Jinghuai."
"Be good, knowing that I love you is enough, the timing of when I fell in love with you is not important."
An Nuan pouted, "Then when I asked you to marry me back then, were you really reluctant? Were you pretending?"
Ye Jinghuai didn't answer.
It was clear that he had silently admitted it.
"Ye Jinghuai, what were your feelings back then when I asked you to marry me?" An Nuan asked again.
She suddenly wanted to know.
Back then, she really approached Ye Jinghuai with the purpose of finding a helper and even to spite Gu Yansheng.
But what about Ye Jinghuai?!
Was he unable to contain his inner joy?
Whenever she thought about Ye Jinghuai's disdainful and even passive appearance back then, An Nuan would get a little angry.
This guy is just too good at disguising himself.
"Feelings back then..." Ye Jinghuai seemed to pause for a moment and said, "After all these years, I can finally indulge myself."
"...Men in this world are generally cunning."
On the other end, he smiled again and changed the topic, "Don't overthink. We are different from Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen. They are one-sided love, but we love each other mutually. If one side of the relationship can't be maintained, don't let your mind wander. We will never separate in this lifetime."
An Nuan couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
She was truly comforted by Ye Jinghuai.
She said solemnly, "You won't leave me."
After saying that, An Nuan hung up the phone.
Her face was burning.
She rarely said such cheesy words.
When spoken, she would become extremely shy.
She lay on the bed, thinking about Ye Jinghuai.
In this reincarnation, had she truly found happiness?!
She always felt that it was still a case of being close yet distant.
...
The next day.
Xia Qiqi struggled to get up from the bed.
Her eyes were lifeless.
She didn't know how long she had tossed and turned before falling asleep last night.
Anyway, when the alarm clock rang, she felt completely lifeless.
But in the end, relying on her own perseverance, she managed to get up.
The process of getting up, washing up, doing makeup, and changing clothes really made her want to collapse.
Several times she was about to give up.
She wanted to lie back in bed and sleep soundly.
But at the thought of being completely broke, she persevered, telling herself to hang in there.
And so, in a daze, she left the house.
Fortunately, her father wasn't too strict with her.
He arranged a dedicated driver for her.
Perhaps he was afraid that she wouldn't dare to drive again, or that she would get into another accident while driving.
Actually, her old man treated her really well.
But...
She thought.
Just let things take their natural course.
Some psychological knots are really hard to completely untie.
Sitting in the sedan.
Nie Ziming called her.
She answered, "Ziming."
"Are you up?"
"I'm on the way," Xia Qiqi looked outside the window, "I'm so tired."
"The first day is like this, you'll get used to this kind of routine life," Nie Ziming said.
No.
This lifetime won't get any better.
"By the way, have you had breakfast?" Nie Ziming asked.
"Who has time to eat breakfast?"
"Not eating breakfast is bad for your stomach. I bought the beef sauce buns you like. When you arrive at the office, I'll bring them to your office."
"You're too kind to me," Xia Qiqi expressed her gratitude.
She really didn't have an appetite right after waking up.
But at this moment, she was clearly feeling a bit hungry.
And she really loved eating sauce buns, just the thought of them made her mouth water.
She was motivated to go to work now.
"See you later," Nie Ziming's clear voice said.
"Okay."
Xia Qiqi rushed to Xia Hui Bank, and when she arrived at her office, Nie Ziming was already waiting for her at the door.
Nie Ziming was a model employee in the company, everyone knew that.
He was always among the first to arrive and the last to leave.
Xia Qiqi really felt that their Xia family should treat him better.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing justice to Nie Ziming's dedication to their family.
"Here you go," Nie Ziming handed the sauce buns to Xia Qiqi, "Eat them while they're hot."
"Okay," Xia Qiqi took them.
"And here's soy milk, make sure to finish it."
"Okay."
"I'll go to work now," Nie Ziming touched Xia Qiqi's head.
Clearly, he was doting on her.
The two of them also didn't avoid suspicion in the company.
Xia Qiqi's position was not high, so her office was just a separate office next to the main office. As a result, there were still many people coming and going, and many of them saw the intimacy between the two but pretended not to notice, fearing that it would cause trouble.
However, in their hearts, they couldn't help but gossip.
How big of a green hat has Xia Qiqi's husband been wearing?!
After all, nobody knew about Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen's divorce.
They also felt sorry for that man whom they didn't even know.
It is said that Xia Qiqi's husband loves her as if she were his life.
