After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

The full moon celebration was ultimately a disaster.

When they got home, Qiao's mother threw a huge tantrum.

She first criticized Lin Yiyue for wearing the same clothes as Tang Xia, and then said that she had not raised her son well.

“Xiaoyue, how could An’an fight with others at a banquet? I know he grew up without a father and does lack manners, but today, our Qiao family is hosting this banquet. This is a disgrace to our Qiao family!”

Lin Yiyue sat to the side, feeling wronged, letting her nag.

She may seem obedient and pitiful, but in reality, she has already firmly remembered this debt in her heart.

Once she marries Qiao Zhiyu, she'll have plenty of ways to deal with this old woman.

After Qiao's mother finished scolding him, the mother and son prepared to go back.

Before leaving, Lin Yiyue kept turning back, as if she was looking for someone.

Just then, Qiao Zhinu came out looking for something to eat. Seeing her like this, she scoffed and said, "Don't bother looking. My brother is in my sister-in-law's room. How about I call him for you?"

"Zhi Nuan, don't talk nonsense." Lin Yiyue blushed and quickly left with her son.

But when Lin An'an kicked Tang Xia, neither of them apologized.

After settling things at the hotel, Tang Xia returned to her bedroom, looking exhausted.

All of this is gradually deviating from the path of the previous life, but the direction is somewhat unbelievable.

She lifted her skirt and saw a shocking bruise on her knee.

"He's not very old, but he's quite strong."

Just as Tang Xia was about to take the first-aid kit out of the cabinet, Qiao Zhiyu pushed the door open and entered.

His expression wasn't too good at first, but after seeing the injury on Tang Xia's knee, he only let out a soft sigh: "You sit down, I'll do it."

Tang Xia acted as if she hadn't heard, and took out the safflower oil on her own.

"you!"

Qiao Zhiyu was really angry, but he knew that Tang Xia was always so stubborn, so he didn't say anything more.

He walked straight over and snatched the safflower oil from her hand. "I've been teaching you for so many years, how come you still don't know how?"

Qiao Zhiyu squatted down beside Tang Xia's feet, first rubbing his palms together to warm them, then pouring safflower oil on them. With professional massage techniques, the effect was indeed better than Tang Xia rubbing herself haphazardly.

"Wife," Qiao Zhiyu suddenly spoke up, "You shouldn't be angry about An'an accidentally kicking you today, right? He's still a child, don't hold it against him."

Tang Xia suddenly had a "I knew it" thought.

His kindness towards me was all for a purpose.

Tang Xia said coldly, "Qiao Zhiyu, is that how you perceive me—so petty and narrow-minded?"

"That's not what I meant... I was just afraid you'd be angry."

Tang Xia sneered inwardly and slapped Qiao Zhiyu's hand away.

"Alright, I feel much better now, you can go out."

Qiao Zhiyu gave an awkward laugh.

He stood up with Tang Xia, glanced at his parents who were still watching TV in the living room, closed the door, and lowered his voice, saying, "Wife, let's try IVF again in a few days. You saw what happened today. My parents have been ridiculed by so many relatives because they don't have a grandson."

Tang Xia suddenly turned her head to look at him.

Qiao Zhiyu felt a little guilty under the gaze, but he felt that as the head of the family, he couldn't not even make decisions about having children: "My parents are getting old, and they just want to hold their grandchild before they die. Is that wrong? Can't you be a little more understanding of them?"

"I'll sympathize with them? Then who will sympathize with me!" Tang Xia was so angry by these words that her stomach started to hurt again. "Qiao Zhiyu, I don't want to discuss this with you right now."

Qiao Zhiyu ignored her pale face and instead frowned and said, "My mother said that while you are still young, the child you have will be healthier. Besides, if you wait until you get older, your body will recover more slowly, which is not good for you."

Tang Xia pressed her hand against her stomach, and cold sweat even broke out on her forehead.

It seems he won't give up easily if he doesn't get an answer today.

She slowly moved her feet and leaned back on the sofa. Her stomach cramps had eased a little, but her voice was hoarse: "Zhiyu, who do you think I'm not having children for now? It's all for you. You know how much it costs to have a child. I just don't want you to suffer like this. And look at us, we're already almost too small for just the few of us."

While observing Qiao Zhiyu's expression, Tang Xia continued to probe, "I'm willing to undergo IVF again, unless we move to a bigger house."

"Change houses? We don't have that much money right now."

“I know, but we can use this house as collateral to take out a loan to buy a detached villa. Give me the property certificate later, and I'll go to the bank to ask how much we can mortgage it for.”

Perhaps because Tang Xia's words sounded so reasonable, Qiao Zhiyu finally hesitated this time.

Seeing that his attitude was softening, Tang Xia dropped a bombshell: "Miss Lin and her son live alone, which not only costs money for rent, but is also not safe. If you move to a new house, you can bring them over to live with you."

"Are you serious?!" Qiao Zhiyu was so happy when she heard this that she almost jumped up.

He immediately coughed twice to cover up his excitement.

"Yes," Tang Xia said expressionlessly, "Since Miss Lin has been kind to your Qiao family, it is only natural that you should repay her."

Qiao Zhiyu lunged forward, ready to hug Tang Xia and give her a big kiss, but she dodged him.

"Wife..."

"We're talking about serious matters, don't interrupt." Tang Xia subtly concealed the disgust in her eyes.

Just as Qiao Zhiyu was about to tell his parents the good news, Tang Xia stopped him again: "But you have to sign a prenuptial agreement for me."

"What prenuptial agreement?"

"Miss Lin is so young and beautiful, and you two have a past connection. How can I feel at ease? You have to give me a guarantee so I can have peace of mind."

Qiao Zhiyu thought she was joking: "What are you talking about? Yiyue and I are in the past. I didn't do anything to wrong you."

Tang Xia curled her lips into a cold smile.

They don't have it now, but soon they'll rekindle their old flame and get back together.

Tang Xia feigned regret, sighed deeply, and said, "It's not like I'm really asking you to give me all your family's assets. It's just a guarantee. As long as you treat me well for the rest of your life, isn't it just a piece of waste paper? I've made such a big concession for you, and you're not even willing to do this little thing for me?"

"Well... let me discuss it with my parents again. You rest first, and we'll talk about it later."

Tang Xia knew that one cannot become fat in a day, so she nodded: "Okay."

After Qiao Zhiyu left, she received a call from Jin Yao.

"Sister Tang Xia, Qiao Zhiyu's assets are definitely more than what is on the surface, but we can't find them yet because we don't have a court search warrant."

Tang Xia rubbed her injured knee as she replied, "It's okay, I'll find a way to get him to hand it over voluntarily."
