Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 618: The CEO’s Pursuit Turns into a Crematory of Heartbreak
"Shangxue?"
Xie Mingyu sprang up from his chair, looking down at Shangxue, who was sitting in another chair.
He seemed unable to believe what he was seeing, blinking his eyes with a handsome face showing a look of astonishment. He took two steps back. After a while, ensuring what he saw was real and not an illusion, he showed a hesitant smile.
"Shangxue, is it really you?"
"We just parted for half a day, and young master no longer recognizes me?" Shangxue looked up at him.
In the sunlight, the girl’s expression was exceptionally gentle.
Although she didn’t have a particularly stunning face, with features that weren’t very striking, she had this charm: all the ordinary details combined made one feel like they were basking in a spring breeze just by looking at her, even in the face of a storm.
A restless heart would gradually calm down.
One would want to sit with her and chat, or even just look at flowers, and feel peaceful.
"It’s really you, you’re back, Shangxue, now that you’re back, I won’t let you go again." Xie Mingyu crouched down, hugging Shangxue tightly, almost spilling the medicine in her hands.
Fortunately, Shangxue held it steady.
Startled by the sudden hug, she quickly steadied the medicine in her hands. First, she was surprised, then she showed a faint smile.
"I’m back, and I won’t leave anymore. Let go of me first and drink the medicine."
"I don’t want to drink the medicine, don’t want to let go of you, just want to hold you like this." Xie Mingyu said playfully.
Shangxue, amused and exasperated, could only coax him patiently: "No, you have to take your medicine. This is the medicine prepared by Miss Ye, it’s... for your treatment, you must drink it."
She didn’t know how long he could hold on.
Even if it was a month, a day, an hour, she wanted to do everything she could to protect him.
"But I don’t want to let go of you." Xie Mingyu pouted.
"Then you can hold me while drinking the medicine." Shangxue thought of a good solution for him.
Xie Mingyu’s eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately. After releasing her with one hand, he held her waist with the other and drank the bowl of medicine with her help.
"It’s so bitter." Xie Mingyu winced.
Shangxue said, "I’ll get some dried fruit."
"Let them get it! Don’t leave me." Xie Mingyu tightened his grip, not wanting her to leave for a moment.
Shangxue, amused, had to ask someone else to bring over the dried fruit and stuffed one into his mouth.
"Is it still bitter?"
"Not bitter anymore, Shangxue, don’t ever leave me again." Xie Mingyu hugged her tightly.
Shangxue chuckled lightly, nodding and patting his shoulder.
She wouldn’t ask him if Yao Min was someone he had sought out, nor would she ask if his illness was real or how long he could live.
Being by his side and protecting him had always been her unwavering belief.
From this moment on, this belief was reaffirmed.
The servants in the house didn’t expect Shangxue would come back, and they whispered, gossiping, but they were mostly very happy.
Xie Mingyu had a stubborn personality and a bad temper, easily losing his temper.
With Shangxue around before, they wouldn’t suffer much. In the years she wasn’t around, life was tough for them.
Now that Shangxue was back, it was like having a shield back, and everyone was ecstatic.
Soon, this news reached Old Sir Xie’s ears.
Old Sir Xie was playing chess with Ye Ningwan.
Upon hearing the servant report the news, he gleefully disrupted the chess pieces: "Hahaha, our Mingyu finally saw the light, he’s finally getting a wife."
Ye Ningwan looked speechlessly at the disordered chessboard.
She seriously suspected that Old Sir Xie intentionally used this happy occasion to disrupt the board.
Because, if they played a bit longer, Old Sir Xie would undoubtedly lose.
"It’s all thanks to you, otherwise they wouldn’t have what they have today." Old Sir Xie sincerely thanked Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan tossed down her chess piece: "Old Sir Xie is too polite, but I didn’t do all this for free. We agreed that the reward wouldn’t be lessened."
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, the herbs in that field are yours to take and use as you please." Old Sir Xie said boldly.
Ye Ningwan curled her lips.
In fact, besides helping Xie Mingyu, she also aimed to obtain Old Sir Xie’s medicinal field on this visit.
Old Sir Xie had gone to great lengths for Xie Mingyu, having leased a mountain to plant rare Chinese herbs just for him. Some herbs matured in a year, but some required years for the effects to become significant.
Recently, she encountered a difficult patient requiring such aged Chinese herbs for treatment.
After much thinking, she realized only Old Sir Xie had them, so she came to ask for some.
Old Sir Xie was indeed generous, offering her the herbs but also asking for her help.
Luckily, the job was perfectly completed.
However, Yanyan was unhappy.
Because his father used to circle around him, holding him at all times, but now he was always around mommy, hugging her every moment.
Jealous, Yanyan pouted and complained to them aggrievedly, "You don’t like Yanyan anymore."
"How could that be? Mommy will always like Yanyan." Shangxue quickly comforted her son.
Xie Mingyu also superficially agreed, but never let go of Shangxue.
Yanyan, feeling wronged, pursed his lips. Shangxue quickly pushed Xie Mingyu away, saying, "The child is crying, won’t you do something?"
She tenderly held Yanyan in her arms, soothing him.
Previously, Xie Mingyu had been all about praising their son, and now he was jealous, whining, "Shangxue, I want to cry too, will you hold me too?"
"Why are you competing for affection with a child?" Shangxue was utterly speechless.
"Isn’t it because I like you?" Xie Mingyu smiled as he snuggled up, holding both his wife and child in his arms.
Shangxue noticed that ever since Xie Mingyu expressed his affection for her, he liked to express his love all the time with words like "love you" and "like you."
Constant confession.
This made Shangxue very unused to it.
The once proud and arrogant Xie Mingyu had turned into a lovesick fool, leaving not only her, but everyone in the Xie family, feeling awkward.
No one could bear to watch, no one could bear to watch.
Old Sir Xie, seeing his grandson’s lovesick fool demeanor, couldn’t bear to look directly at him.
So, happily, he went on a vacation.
Old Sir Xie’s vacation reminded Xie Mingyu.
Since revealing their feelings, he and Shangxue hadn’t gone on a holiday or traveled together.
How could that be?
Xie Mingyu promptly made arrangements, organized matters at the company, and had Shangxue prepare things at home.
The next day, he swiftly took Shangxue on a trip.
As for Yanyan, of course, he was sent to the Jiangcheng Zhan family.
Xie Mingyu left the child at the gate of the Zhan family, with a letter.
The letter said that Yanyan was not in good health and that he was uneasy leaving him anywhere else. Therefore, only at the Zhan family, under the care of Ye Ningwan, could he be at ease.
Of course, all of this was kept from Shangxue.
Shangxue drank the tea Xie Mingyu poured for her and passed out not long after.
When she woke up again, she was already on a plane.
