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

In the study, Tang Xia was admiring the first-hand photos sent by Jin Yao.

[Sister Tang Xia, they've already kissed, so it's probably not far off that they'll do *that* kind of thing. As long as he signs that prenuptial agreement, we can definitely make him leave with nothing!]

During this time, Jin Yao was practically suffering a work-related injury from following this despicable couple.

Tang Xia replied to her: "It should be soon."

She had just shut down her computer when Qiao Zhiyu pushed the door open and walked in.

Tang Xia frowned: "Why did you come in without knocking?"

Qiao Zhiyu paused, somewhat displeased, and said, "This is my home. Is there any need to knock? Or are you doing something shady behind my back?"

Tang Xia turned to look at him, staring directly into his eyes: "Are you asking this because you feel guilty? Why did it take you so long to see someone off?"

Qiao Zhiyu immediately dared not say anything more.

When did Tang Xia's intuition become so accurate?

Qiao Zhiyu was a little confused. Ever since her mood changed drastically recently, she seemed to be able to see through everyone and predict their behavior. She had to change the subject.

"Yiyue's light bulb is broken, I'm fixing it for her. Didn't you say you trusted me before? Why are you saying this now?"

Tang Xia smiled slightly: "After all, people change. Besides, Miss Lin is young and beautiful. Isn't it normal for me to be worried?"

Qiao Zhiyu suddenly sighed and said, "No matter how young or beautiful you are, if you're busy doing housework all day, you'll eventually become a haggard housewife. Wife, you haven't seen it, but Yiyue's hands have become quite rough these past few days. She was spoiled by her parents since she was little and has never done any housework..."

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Xia again, as if waiting for her to say something.

Tang Xia didn't respond to his words at all, and just waited for him to continue.

Helpless, Qiao Zhiyu continued, "Wife, why don't you talk to Mom and ask her to make Yiyue do less housework? After all, she's not here to be our maid."

The more Qiao Zhiyu talked, the colder Tang Xia felt inside.

Lin Yiyue had only been doing this for a few days, and she was already feeling extremely distressed. But this was something she had to do every day, year after year!

That year, Qiao's mother suddenly had a craving for bone broth.

Tang Xia braved the heavy snow to go to the market and buy a large bone.

She added that the bones need to be cut open before stewing to make them taste better.

Having no other choice, Tang Xia had to use the bone knife at home to cut it.

This is a technical skill, and Tang Xia had only recently learned to cook. Before she knew it, the knife had cut her hand, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and the blood wouldn't stop flowing.

However, those two old men were only worried about not having lunch and didn't care at all about her injury.

Tang Xia called Qiao Zhiyu and asked him to come back, but he made up an excuse that he was in a meeting.

Despite the heavy snow, Tang Xia carried her bloodied hand to the hospital alone. Even strangers passing by couldn't help but feel pity and came up to ask her if she needed help.

But the man who vowed to take care of her for the rest of his life when they got married remained completely unmoved.

Those hardships and pains, though they were from a past life, still make Tang Xia's nose sting and her heart ache whenever she thinks about them.

She snapped out of her daze, looked at the man in front of her whose appearance hadn't changed but whose heart had, and couldn't help but sneer: "Qiao Zhiyu, she offered to come and help on her own initiative. No one forced her. The way you're saying it makes it sound like Mom and I are deliberately targeting her."

"Look at you, so sensitive again. I didn't say anything; I'm just discussing solutions with you, aren't I?"

Tang Xia lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "It's actually easy to solve. Right now I have to go to work, and Mom's health isn't good. You just need to hire a caregiver, and Mom will naturally stop letting Lin Yiyue do chores."

"A nanny? Don't we already have one at home?"

"Who are you referring to?" Tang Xia suddenly looked at her with a sharp gaze: "Me, or Aunt Ruan?"

"Of course it's Aunt Ruan, she just takes care of a child every day..."

Tang Xia was so angry at his words that she almost had a heart attack.

"Qiao Zhiyu, I know you work all day and are out of touch with reality, so you don't really know about prices outside. Do you think it's so easy to find a postpartum nanny these days? Aunt Ruan already gave me a very low price, and you still want her to do housework?"

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you about this. Since the family is short of money lately, you should at least contribute something, right? Didn't your parents leave you some money when they died? Take it out now to tide you over."

Tang Xia clenched her fists.

That money was agreed upon long ago to be left to Niannian, and it would never be touched, even if it meant death.

Unexpectedly, now he's trying to trick a woman into handing over all that money!

She laughed angrily, gritting her teeth, and said, "Fine, I'll give it to you, as long as you sign that prenuptial agreement and give me a guarantee, I can give you everything."

Qiao Zhiyu frowned deeply.

He was indeed very tempted.

It's just a prenuptial agreement. As long as Tang Xia doesn't divorce him, he won't suffer any losses. He can even take out the money left by her parents and buy a bigger detached villa to bring Lin Yiyue and Lin An'an over to live together.

“Okay, I’ll sign. Then we’ll do what we agreed on before: use our current house as collateral to buy a bigger one, as a way to prepare for our future son.”

Actually, it was so that he could secretly have an affair with his mistress!

Tang Xia had long seen through his hypocrisy and found it utterly disgusting.

But as long as he's willing to sign the agreement, everything is negotiable.

Taking a few deep breaths, he forced a smile: "Okay, it's settled then. We'll find some time this weekend to go to a law firm and have a lawyer notarize it."

Is it necessary to take this so seriously?

"If you mortgage the house, you'll need to find someone to appraise its value. Since it's on your way, remember to bring the original property documents with you. The sooner you move to a bigger house, the sooner you can have a second child."

"Okay! I'll do as you say!"

Qiao Zhiyu left with a smile on her face.

Tang Xia sat quietly in the chair for a long time.

For the next few days, Tang Xia worked overtime until the early hours of the morning almost every night.

But no matter what time she gets off work, without exception, there will always be a car waiting for her downstairs at the company.

Perhaps not wanting others to gossip, Jin Xinghan changed to an extremely low-key car, so low-key that this kind of car would never have appeared in his garage before.

On the last night before the mission deadline, Jin Xinghan watched Tang Xia enter the residential area before instructing the driver to turn back.

After several consecutive nights of working late, even the driver was starting to feel the strain.

He couldn't help but say, "President Jin, staying up all night every day is bad for your health. Why don't you let the design department staff go home earlier?"

Jin Xinghan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Working overtime is not mandatory; it was voluntary on her part."

He could also sense that Tang Xia truly loved this industry.

Moreover, their strength far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The old guys in the design department were full of praise for her design drafts.

He suddenly realized that the agreement he signed with her was actually a great bargain.
