He was like a mirror. As soon as she saw his face, all the past events came flooding out from a corner of her heart, hitting her fragile heart hard. An Jingya's persistence, Kang Shaonan's dedication, and the cruel truth seven years ago, all made it impossible for her to face Kang Shaonan calmly.
An Jingya's words kept echoing in her ears: He loves me... If it weren't for Yu Xiao, we would have been married a long time ago... Shaonan, he didn't love Yu Xiao at all, he never loved her, never... He just felt that he owed her... So he spent his whole life to make it up to her...
Every word was like a sharp knife stabbing her heart! Unspeakable pain!
She couldn't bear to let go, but she still forced herself to do it!
She was already very content to be able to be his wife for three months. Since he had never loved her, it would be too cruel to keep him around her. She would be content to let him go and see him happy.
"So what you mean is that you agree to let me stay tonight?" Kang Shaonan was not angry, but asked with a smile, avoiding the main point.
Yu Xiao knew that it was useless for him to say anything now, so he coldly said "I'm going to see Uncle Ming" and left home.
"Be careful when you go up the mountain!" Kang Shaonan warned her while looking at her back.
Uncle Ming and Yu Xiao went up the mountain, leaving Kang Shaonan alone at home. Although he had not been here many times, Kang Shaonan had an inexplicable intimacy with Uncle Ming's home. He was a person who could not sit still. Seeing that it was still early to cook dinner, he first lit the stove to boil water, then ran to his wife's room to find a few clothes she had worn, took them out and soaked them in a basin to wash.
Clothes in this season are made of less fabric and can be washed quickly. It didn't take long to wash them. After hanging all the clothes, he splashed water on the yard and cleaned the yard inside and out with a broom. He was almost done. Seeing that Uncle Ming and his wife had not returned from the mountain, he ran to the vegetable garden behind the house to pick some vegetables, put on an apron and started to cook dinner. When Uncle Ming and Yu Xiao returned from the tea garden, Kang Shaonan had already prepared dinner and was about to serve it on the table.
"Shaonan, you have to come here more often in the future! You finished all the housework in just a few hours?" Uncle Ming found that Kang Shaonan had cleaned the house inside and out from the moment he walked into the yard to the house, and praised him with a smile.
"As long as Uncle Ming doesn't kick me out!" Kang Shaonan looked at Uncle Ming with a grin. His gaze fell on his young wife beside him. He looked at her with concern: "Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? The water for washing your face is on the balcony outside. Go wash your face! We'll have dinner soon!" After saying that, he turned around and served the dishes like a host without caring whether Yu Xiao responded or not.
Uncle Ming smiled at Kang Shaonan's back, raised his hand and patted Yu Xiao, signaling her to go outside with him to wash her hands. Yu Xiao thought Uncle Ming wanted to say something to her, but he said nothing. After washing their hands, the two came in and sat at the dining table with Kang Shaonan to prepare for dinner.
"Xiaoxiao, go get my Uncle Ming's wine! We haven't seen Shaonan for such a long time, today we have to have a good drink together!" As Kang Shaonan arrived, Uncle Ming's mood also became high.
Yu Xiao looked at Uncle Ming and hesitated for a moment. In fact, she was worried about the gunshot wound on Kang Shaonan's arm, but she couldn't say it out loud.
"Xiaoxiao, go get it!" Uncle Ming smiled and waved at Yu Xiao.
The wine was finally served. Uncle Ming and Kang Shaonan were in high spirits, chatting about everything under the sun while drinking. Yu Xiao sat quietly on the side, eating her own food. In fact, she always liked the food cooked by Kang Shaonan, but for some reason today, she had no appetite at all when looking at the table of food.
Seeing that she ate very little, Kang Shaonan picked up his chopsticks and put her favorite sweet and sour fish in her bowl: "This is the live fish I bought on the way here, eat more!"
Yu Xiao's stomach felt better after eating some vegetables, but when Kang Shaonan put the fish into the bowl, Yu Xiao smelled the fishy smell and instantly felt a sour feeling in his stomach. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and quickly ran out of the house.
"Xiaoxiao!" Kang Shaonan was frightened by Yu Xiao's appearance. He thought that she was upset about the past again, so he smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table and chased after her.
Seeing Yu Xiao squatting next to the toilet and vomiting non-stop, my heart suddenly dropped to the ground. I walked over to her, patted her on the back and asked her: "Why are you vomiting like this? Is it because my food is not cooked well? Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach after eating?"
Yu Xiao waved his hands repeatedly, and when he felt that he had almost vomited, he stood up and prepared to go back to the house.
"Wait a moment, I'll get you a glass of water to rinse your mouth!" Kang Shaonan turned around and walked quickly into the house. After a while, he came over with a glass of water and handed it to Yu Xiao. After watching her rinse her mouth, the two of them returned to the house.
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" Uncle Ming saw that Yu Xiao looked weak and asked her with concern.
"Uncle Ming, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I think there's something wrong with the lunch I had. You guys eat. I'll go back to my room to rest first!" Yu Xiao looked at the table full of food in front of him, and the feeling of vomiting came back again.
"Why don't you let Shaonan take you to the hospital?" Uncle Ming looked a little worried when he saw her.
"No, no! I'll be fine after a night's rest." Yu Xiao shook his head and went back to his room.
Although Kang Shaonan was worried, he knew that Yu Xiao didn't like him, so he could only watch her go back to her room.
Uncle Ming saw his worry and smiled: "Don't worry, give Xiaoxiao some time! As long as you are sincere, you will move her!"
"Well, but I'm afraid she'll get too hung up on it..."
"Don't worry! She won't! During the time she's been here, I can see that she has been constantly adjusting herself and growing step by step! Give her time, she will get over it!" During this half month, Uncle Ming could feel the changes in Yu Xiao the most. He saw all her efforts bit by bit and became more and more confident in this girl.
"Thank you, Uncle Ming! If it weren't for you, I really don't know where to let her go during this period."
"You're being distant with Uncle Ming again. Come on, let's continue drinking!"
Although he was reluctant, Kang Shaonan resolutely left the tea garden after breakfast the next day. Uncle Ming was right, his current wife needed time, and he couldn't be too anxious. And seeing that she was fine this time, he was completely relieved.
As soon as Kang Shaonan left, Yu Xiao's heart slowly calmed down and she returned to her previous state. However, since the night Kang Shaonan came, she found that her appetite was getting worse and worse. It was ok to eat light food, but she couldn't stand the smell of meat. Not to mention eating, she couldn't help but want to vomit when she smelled the fumes when Uncle Ming cooked. This situation lasted for a week. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Uncle Ming drove her to the county hospital for a check-up.
The results came out very quickly, Yu Xiao was pregnant with twins!
Seeing this result, Uncle Ming was very happy: "Xiaoxiao, that's great! Just think about having two identical children. Uncle Ming is happy for you! I can tell you, Uncle Ming will definitely be your grandfather!"
Looking at the B-ultrasound results in her hand, Yu Xiao was a little confused. She had originally made up her mind to divorce Kang Shaonan, but now a pair of twins suddenly appeared. What should she do
"Uncle Ming, can you keep this secret for me for now?"
"Secret? Do you mean not to tell Shaonan for the time being?"
"Well, I haven't figured out what to do yet!"
"I can keep it a secret, but I have to tell you that you have to keep the child. You can't have an abortion secretly. If you do that, Uncle Ming will no longer recognize you as his goddaughter!" Knowing that the relationship between the two is now a bit stalemate, Uncle Ming is afraid that Yu Xiao will do something extreme.
"Don't worry! No matter how miserable I am, I won't think about having a child." She had long wanted to give Kang Shaonan a child. Although they were going to divorce, it didn't mean that she didn't love that man. She had to have a child! It was just that she didn't want Kang Shaonan to continue living with her because of the child.
"But you are pregnant with twins. For other people, it may not be obvious until four, five or six months of pregnancy, but in your case, it will be obvious within three months. Do you think Shaonan won't be able to see it if you don't tell him?" Although Uncle Ming is a man, he still knows this basic common sense.
"I know! Let's keep it a secret for as long as possible!"
"Okay! Uncle Ming promises you!" Uncle Ming agreed to Yu Xiao very readily.
What Yu Xiao didn't expect was that on the morning of the next day after getting the test results, she was sent away by Uncle Ming to go to school to deliver something to Ming Yao. As soon as she left home, Uncle Ming called Kang Shaonan and told him the good news.
Kang Shaonan stood there excitedly holding his phone after hearing the news. It took him a long time to react and he asked again in disbelief: "Uncle Ming, are you telling the truth? Is Xiaoxiao really pregnant with my child?"
"Yes! And it's twins! Xiaoxiao told me yesterday not to tell you! But I think you are the father of the child and have the right to know about it. And I don't want you two to break up like this. But you have to pretend that you don't know about this. She wants to hide it from you and raise the children alone. From now on, no matter what happens, don't give up on Xiaoxiao easily, okay?" Uncle Ming has always regarded Yu Xiao as his own daughter, and the happiness of the two of them is something he has always been concerned about.
"Uncle Ming, thank you! Thank you so much! Don't worry! I will never give up Xiaoxiao!" Not to mention that she is pregnant with his child now, even if she is not pregnant, he will never let go of her hand.
"Okay! I'm relieved to hear you explain this! You can't tell anyone about this for now!"
"Shaonan understands! Uncle Ming, can I go see her now?" At this moment, he really couldn't contain his excitement and wanted to see his little wife immediately.
"You are the head of a group, and you are losing your temper again! Uncle Ming knows that you miss her. How about this, I will call you in two days and you can come again! Remember not to tell anyone about this!" Uncle Ming reminded him again.
"Got it, Uncle Ming!" (To be continued)
