Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 612: President’s Desperate Pursuit in the Love Ashes
Xie Mingyu didn’t expect that Shangxue would sleep beside Yanyan.
However, Yanyan is just a child, although the room is very large. The two rooms are connected, creating such a children’s room for him. The bed alone is two meters wide, not some children’s bed.
So, there is absolutely no problem with Shangxue lying beside Yanyan.
Looking at his son, his woman lying there, Xie Mingyu felt a strong sense of happiness surge up within him.
This feeling was incredibly real and intense, like a flame burning inside him, warming his entire body.
He had never felt such a strong sensation before, it turned out happiness was like this.
Even when he thought he liked Ye Ningwan and Ye Ningwan agreed to marry him, he hadn’t felt so happy.
"Shangxue."
"What’s up?"
Shangxue, with her eyes closed, immediately reacted when she heard Xie Mingyu call her name.
"Nothing, just wanted to call your name," Xie Mingyu said with a smile.
After saying that, he also lay down, lying on the other side of Yanyan.
The bed was big enough for the three of them to lie down.
But after lying down, he wanted to touch Shangxue’s hand.
Thinking this, he did so.
As soon as he touched the back of Shangxue’s hand, she swiftly pulled her hand away in shock, opened her eyes, and asked, "Do you need something?"
Xie Mingyu felt wronged: "No, I just wanted to touch you."
Shangxue: "..."
"Mr. Xie, there is nothing between us anymore, and I already have a boyfriend. So it’s inappropriate for you to touch me."
"I was wrong," Xie Mingyu suddenly said, "I previously said I didn’t like you and didn’t want to marry you, I was wrong. Shangxue, come back to me and Yanyan, will you marry me?"
"No."
Shangxue refused without any hesitation.
Xie Mingyu, unable to believe it, sat up, staring at her.
He thought that saying these words would undoubtedly move Shangxue to tears, how did she still refuse?
"Why not? Haven’t you always been waiting for me to say these words, waiting for me to say I like you? I’m saying it now, why is that not good?"
"So, you knew I was always waiting for you to say this," Shangxue smiled bitterly, her heart filled with more sorrow.
Xie Mingyu was stunned, realizing he said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized: "I’m sorry, it was my fault before, I’m apologizing."
"Mr. Xie, do you remember the story I told you when I was young?" Shangxue said.
"What story?" Xie Mingyu asked.
There were so many stories Shangxue told him when they were young, how could he remember which one?
He had been in poor health before and sometimes couldn’t sleep due to pain at night.
Shangxue would tell him stories, various kinds of stories.
But he didn’t like to turn on the lights, so Shangxue memorized those stories during the day to tell him at night.
Shangxue had many stories, he used to never be able to hear them all.
So when asked which story, he really didn’t know.
With thousands of stories, how would he know which one she was talking about?
"Once upon a time, there was a male bird who liked another female bird in the flock very much, so he brought her bugs, twigs, and sometimes a little flower to please her. But the female bird was very proud, always being particularly arrogant towards the male bird. She said, being so beautiful, she deserved the best male bird. So she let the male bird wait for her all the time; if she couldn’t find a better male bird, she’d come back to him. Day after day, year after year, the male bird waited and waited until he finally lost patience and got together with another female bird. It’s a simple story, but I explained to you back then, once hope turns to disappointment again and again, you won’t have hope for anything anymore."
"So, you’re disappointed in me?" Xie Mingyu asked.
Shangxue’s silence was equivalent to acknowledging his words.
Xie Mingyu frowned anxiously, wanting to explain to her but didn’t know what to say.
"Let’s sleep! Who knows if Yanyan will fuss again later, we need to conserve strength and rest well."
Shangxue lay down again, closing her eyes.
But Xie Mingyu couldn’t close his eyes and sleep like her; he felt very distressed.
He wanted to say to her again that he knew he was wrong and wouldn’t let her down again.
But, recalling her earlier words, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Sure enough, Yanyan started to burn up again in the middle of the night, mumbling for mommy in his mouth.
Shangxue woke up and held him in her arms to soothe him.
Of course, Xie Mingyu was also awakened and saw Shangxue holding him all the time, so he took Yanyan over: "Let me hold him, Yanyan is quite heavy, your arms might get tired."
"It’s fine, I’m used to it," Shangxue said.
But Xie Mingyu insisted on holding him himself.
However, a sick child prefers to depend on their mother, so when Xie Mingyu took him, Yanyan objected and began crying with his eyes closed.
Xie Mingyu rarely saw his son cry. Seeing him open his mouth and cry so hard, crying so sorrowfully, his heart broke, and he hurriedly handed Yanyan back to Shangxue.
Shangxue soothed Yanyan while saying to Xie Mingyu, "I can hold him, I’ve always held him by myself, I’ve built up the endurance, I’m not tired."
"But it’s not very easy either," Xie Mingyu said.
Saying this, he began to massage Shangxue’s shoulders and put a pillow as a support under her arm.
Shangxue looked at Xie Mingyu in astonishment.
Xie Mingyu looked up, seeing the surprise in her eyes, puzzled: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You... you’ve changed, you’re different from before."
He was proud and self-centered before, never considering others’ feelings.
Let alone taking care of others this carefully, in all her years by his side, he had never taken care of even Old Sir Xie like this.
"Of course, people grow up, haven’t you changed as well? You used to like me so much, now you say you don’t like me anymore so easily," Xie Mingyu complained in distress.
Shangxue lightly coughed, embarrassed: "Maybe I didn’t like you that much before, maybe I was always misunderstanding myself."
"There’s no misunderstanding," Xie Mingyu said seriously: "You definitely liked me before, I just made you wait too long, disappointed you, that’s why you are sulking and say you don’t like me. Shangxue, give me another chance, let us start over."
"Mr. Xie, go pour a glass of water, I’ll give Yanyan some to drink," Shangxue felt extremely flustered.
She had never heard Xie Mingyu talk like this before, it seemed as if he had become a different person, leaving her unsure of what to do.
With no other choice, she could only change the subject.
Fortunately, concerning Yanyan, Xie Mingyu was very obedient.
Without calling a servant over, he went to pour water himself and even tentatively tried the water temperature thoughtfully. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Seeing his serious look, Shangxue knew he genuinely loved Yanyan, feeling very gratified in her heart.
But it also made her feel a bit hurt.
Why did he have to wait until she was disappointed to tell her these things?
Cheng Yue waited for her a long time, she never agreed to him.
Until he completely disappointed her, she wanted to leave, then agreed to Cheng Yue’s confession.
