Start Anew

Chapter 3: Rescue You

Xiyi's POV

"Jiaxin is still having a hard time accepting Ximi's lost, I know it, I can see it in her eyes, everytime we talked about the baby, everytime she sees children, everytime she visits Ximi's room, I know she still blames herself for what happened."

"Mr. Yi, you need to talk to your wife personally, you two need time to discuss these things," Anson spoke as he sat in front of my table. "That's the only way you'll know how she really feels," he added.

After I arrived at my office, I kept on thinking about Jiaxin. I know she's still affected with Ximi's lost. Well, all of us are sad and dissapointed about what happened three years ago. But in Jiaxin's case, it's different.

Just like what Dylan said. In those three years, Jiaxin always blamed herself. But after the truth about the divorce agreement was revealed, it only worsen her feelings of guilt.

"I'm trying my best to make her happy, to make things right this time. I just can't bear to see her pretending to be fine when I know she's too far from being fine," I said.

Anson just stares at me blankly.

"Do you want me to ask Siqi to talk to her?"

"No it's fine, maybe I'll just try to talk to her first then let's see. Also, I don't want to bother your wife if I can still handle this, especially now that she's pregnant, it's enough that you're stressing her," I muttered.

"Eyy Mr. Yi, I am not stressing her!"

Siqi, Anson's wife and Jiaxin's bestfriend is now three months pregnant.

"Anyway, you need to make sure that no one will call me this Saturday about work. Nobody from the company, no one from our clients and not even you, okay? My Saturday is now reserved only for Jiaxin," I warned, finally smiling.

"Okay got it! Saturday, only wife day!", Anson repeated, seemingly writing those words in the air.

I got off from work a little bit early to fetch something at the mall. I just got something for Jiaxin to make her feel a little better.

As I arrived home, Jiaxin was already there and was helping Auntie Xiuling with the dinner. Hmmm, maybe we should hire now a maid again especially when Jiaxin resumes her work permanently after Master Zhongshan Long return from Hungary, I don't think she can handle too much work.

My wife is too fragile in my eyes. I got to protect her at all cost.

I went upstairs to change my clothes and also hide my surprise in the closet first.

"Xiyi."

I was frozen for a moment to hear her voice. Woah, she actually followed me here! This feels like getting caught in the act while doing something secretly behind your wife's back.

"Hey!" I said.

"Dinner's ready."

She stands in front me and I can't keep myself from being amazed on how beautiful she is.

So even before she had the time to move her feet towards me, I instantly walk towards her and hugged her.

I placed my head on her neck while I close my eyes. I felt her small hands hugging my waist.

"I missed you," she said.

I kissed the top of her head instead of answering her.

"Thank you for comforting me today, I think I badly needed that," she continued.

I patted her hair with my right hand and we stayed like that only for minutes but it felt like eternity.

I was stopped with my own thoughts when she suddenly tickled me on my back. I automatically caught her hand and carried her, going outside our bedroom.
