Chapter 91: Ex-wife: My boring ex-wife is with her boss 2...
In the end, Jiang Manzhi came with Xie Zhaoye to meet his parents.
"Or I'd better not go. Maoqiu hasn't finished dinner yet." Jiang Manzhi was a little nervous. She always felt that meeting the parents had a different meaning, and she was also afraid that Xie Zhaoye's parents would dislike her.
Jiang Manzhi turned around and tried to run away with the ball of fur, but was stopped by Xie Zhaoye.
"My parents helped me take care of the furball for a while before, and we had food for it at home."
Xie Zhaoye put a little more pressure on Jiang Manzhi's shoulders, and, with a mixture of persuasion and coaxing, led her to the door. He said, "Don't be nervous. My parents saw your photo online and love you so much. Relax. This isn't a execution ground."
Xie Zhaoye looked at her with a smile on his face, a glimmer in his eyes.
After hearing what he said, Jiang Manzhi's stiffness eased a little. She took a deep breath and followed Xie Zhaoye to the Xie family.
Xie Zhaoye didn't try to coax her. His parents were really easy to get along with as he said, and they seemed to welcome her very much, especially Xie Zhaoye's mother, Ms. Xie.
Ms. Xie has an elegant and quiet temperament. She looks like a girl when she smiles. Even at the age of forty, she still has a girlish heart. She likes pink things. When Jiang Manzhi came today, she happened to be wearing a light pink knee-length dress, which made her skin look as white as jade. Ms. Xie even praised her for being pretty.
Mr. Xie was also very elegant. He treated Jiang Manzhi very gently and even cooked a table of dishes himself, just like the most ordinary parents in the world.
Jiang Manzhi is an orphan, and she has never felt such warmth before.
Maoqiu obviously remembered to thank his father and mother, and rushed over excitedly, wagging his tail and circling around their feet.
"Oh, my furry little ball." Ms. Xie picked up the furry ball and glanced at Jiang Manzhi. She seemed to understand something and said with a smile, "I was wondering why you, a naughty boy, suddenly wanted to get a dog. It turns out you want to use it to chase girls."
Jiang Manzhi looked at Xie Zhaoye, somewhat bewildered. Xie Zhaoye blushed, a rare sight for him. He cleared his throat, took Jiang Manzhi into the house, and said, "Let's talk inside. What are you doing standing at the door?"
Mr. Xie stood behind Xie's mother holding a thermos cup, smiling and taking a sip of tea calmly.
When Jiang Manzhi entered the house, she saw a little girl sitting on the sofa. When the girl saw her, her eyes widened and she jumped down in surprise and ran to her.
Jiang Manzhi also recognized her at this time. She had seen this little girl in the hospital before. She turned out to be Xie Zhaoye's little niece. In a flash, Jiang Manzhi remembered the man standing next to the little girl when she left the hospital that day. At this moment, his face suddenly became clear in her vague memory.
It turned out that was her first meeting with Xie Zhaoye, and the little girl was his niece.
When the little girl saw her, she was surprised and exclaimed: "Sister, is that you?!"
Then her eyes fell on Xie Zhaoye's hand on her shoulder, and she said in disbelief: "You, you are my uncle's girlfriend? How could you be so careless as to fall in love with my uncle?"
The little girl had a look on her face like a flower stuck in cow dung, which made Xie Zhaoye pinch her face in frustration: "What are you talking about, little brat? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you home."
The little niece stuck out her tongue at her and ran to hide behind Jiang Manzhi. She didn't want to go home. Her parents were strict and she would be forced to study as soon as she got home. It was not as comfortable as here.
"Then you are my aunt?"
Xie Zhaoye's little niece pulled her hand and asked with bright eyes.
“…” Jiang Manzhi pinched her little hand, not knowing how to answer. It seemed a little too early to call her aunt.
"You know why don't you call someone?" Xie Zhaoye folded his arms and glanced at her. His niece ignored him and looked at Jiang Manzhi, calling sweetly: "Aunt!"
My aunt-in-law is gentle and beautiful. I don’t know how my annoying uncle managed to get her.
Ms. Xie then interrupted, "Manman and Xinxin know each other?"
"I met him in the hospital when I took the kid to see grandpa." Xie Zhaoye explained.
"Aunt, is Maoqiu your dog now?" Xinxin had seen Maoqiu when she came to Xie Zhaoye's house to play before, and she liked it very much.
"Well, if you like, you can come to my house often and play with it?"
Xinxin's eyes lit up, she also wanted to go to her aunt's house to play!
"good!"
Jiang Manzhi had completely relaxed and was speaking in a relaxed and natural manner. She had a very likable personality, gentle and unassuming, reserved but not timid, and she easily won the favor of Xie's parents and the little kid.
The two ladies, one big and one small, were chatting happily and soon they were playing games with the ball of fur together. Xie Zhaoye stood aside and watched calmly with a faint smile on his face, while Mr. Xie was cooking in the kitchen himself. Ms. Xie sat on the sofa and watched Jiang Manzhi and Xinxin playing games for a while, then went to the kitchen to help Mr. Xie.
In general, Xie Zhaoye's parents are both humble people, and the family atmosphere is harmonious. Everything is much better than Jiang Manzhi originally expected. No wonder they raised a child like Xie Zhaoye who is so caring. When they are together, she is often surprised by his excessive thoughtfulness.
In fact, she was completely wrong. Xie Zhaoye only cared about her and his relatives, and he didn't care about what others did.
The reason why he is so easy to talk to in front of Jiang Manzhi is simply because of love.
When they were having lunch together at noon, Jiang Manzhi found that most of the dishes on the table were her favorites. It was obvious that he had inquired about her preferences in advance. Xie Zhaoye saw her standing there in a daze, talking about the company's matters with Mr. Xie, while his hands kept picking up food for her. Jiang Manzhi subconsciously looked up and saw Ms. Xie at the table and Mr. Xie looking at her with a teasing look. She didn't expect that her son had such a caring side.
Jiang Manzhi was too embarrassed to look up and just kept her head down to eat. Xie Zhaoye didn't notice anything at all. Seeing that Jiang Manzhi seemed a little embarrassed, he frowned and said, "Mom and Dad, why are you looking at me? Eat."
"Eat, eat." Mr. Xie also picked up a piece of chicken wing for Ms. Xie.
The two of them had a good relationship, and the more Ms. Xie looked at Jiang Manzhi, the more satisfied she became. She couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Man, when are you planning to get married?"
Jiang Manzhi almost choked. Was the topic progressing so quickly?
Just when Jiang Manzhi was at a loss, Xie Zhaoye held her hand under the table and said, "We are not in a hurry. Why are you so anxious? Let's not talk about this while we eat."
Jiang Manzhi met Xie Zhaoye's eyes and understood that he didn't want to put pressure on herself. When they were together before, Xie Zhaoye always liked to say "marry me", but Jiang Manzhi never agreed, so he didn't dare to propose.
The hand holding hers was warm and broad, and even seemed a little hot. Jiang Manzhi gradually made up her mind and took the initiative to say, "It's okay, you can tell me." Xie Zhaoye was stunned for several seconds.
Jiang Manzhi smiled at him. Although she had not thought about this question before, when she was with Xie Zhaoye, she did not think in her heart that they would go far. But after spending so many days together, Jiang Manzhi gradually discovered that Xie Zhaoye was a very reliable person. He gave her the sense of security and belonging that she wanted.
The most important thing is that he really cares about her.
Once, the company was discussing a major project, and Xie Zhaoye worked overtime until very late. He was very tired that day, and fell asleep in her arms within two minutes. However, as soon as she moved slightly, Xie Zhaoye woke up immediately, his voice still hoarse from his sleep:
"What's wrong? Do you want some water? I'll pour it for you."
At that moment, Jiang Manzhi couldn't explain what she felt in her heart. She just felt like crying suddenly. It seemed that after being alone for so many years, someone finally cared about her and loved her.
She thought, just get married. You can't lose the courage to love again just because you've been hurt before.
Life is so long, what if I lose the bet? Even if Xie Zhaoye is not the one she is looking for, even if there is no love that will never betray her, among so many moments in life, a few moments that truly make people happy and want to cry are enough.
So, in the face of Xie's parents' expectant eyes and Xie Zhaoye's nervous expression, she didn't say anything, but just smiled shyly and said softly, "Listen to Ah Ye, I'm fine with anything."
Xie Zhaoye's tense and uneasy expression was instantly replaced by a pleasant surprise as if something had fallen from the sky. However, because his parents and Xinxin were present, he suppressed the urge to hug her and only unconsciously held Jiang Manzhi's hand tighter.
"That's great, little brat. Manman has agreed, why don't you hurry up and take action?"
"Okay, I know, let's eat." Xie Zhaoye seemed not to care, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. His eyes lingered on Jiang Manzhi beside him from time to time, as if he could never see enough.
Ms. Xie and Mr. Xie looked at each other, knowing that Xie Zhaoye was really found this time. They smiled and said nothing more.
Especially Ms. Xie, her eyes looked at Jiang Manzhi even softer. The more she looked at Jiang Manzhi, the more beautiful she found her, and the more she liked her.
Xie Zhaoye has such a bad temper, he should find a girl as gentle as water to deal with it. They didn't expect that the bad boy would be so caring after he came to his senses. She asked one more question just now and the bad boy rushed to protect her. In the past, the couple thought that if Xie Zhaoye continued like this, he would end up living alone.
What did being older mean? What did being divorced mean? It was a new era now, and her family was well-educated, not into old feudal ways.
In particular, Ms. Xie was even more grateful that the girl did not mind that their son, A Ye, was infertile. She had never expected that her son, such a strong and hormonal man, could not have children. She was almost worried to death when her son told her.
Who would have thought that two years later, Xie Zhaoye and Jiang Manzhi actually gave her a child, which left her completely puzzled.
When was Aye cured of this disease?
After receiving Jiang Manzhi's confirmation that day, Xie Zhaoye proposed to Jiang Manzhi not long after and gave her a grand and unforgettable wedding.
Less than two years after their marriage, Jiang Manzhi became pregnant. When Xie Zhaoye found out, he was shocked: "Baby, how come you're pregnant? I even told mom I had a hidden illness!"
Jiang Manzhi was amused by him. Later, she went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that there was nothing wrong with her body. So, was it Xue Yuan who had the problem?
But how did Xue Yuan’s son come about?
Jiang Manzhi was also confused, but these problems had nothing to do with her. In the first few years of marriage, her father-in-law and mother-in-law treated her better than their own daughter. Xie Zhaoye also kept his promise to treat her well for the rest of his life. She also gave birth to a pair of lovely twins, and the whole family spoiled these two children.
Jiang Manzhi looked at the two little lives she was carrying and felt the wonder of being connected by blood. She vowed to give her children the best of everything, and give them the love and companionship that she had lacked and longed for in her childhood.
"Wife, my parents said they made your favorite cola chicken wings for you and asked us to go back for dinner today."
Xie Zhaoye had a child hanging on each arm, and he spoke to her helplessly but lovingly. The two children giggled and asked their father to raise his arms higher.
Jiang Manzhi's eyebrows curved. In fact, what she had lacked before was now made up in another way.
