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

Jin Xinghan extended his hand.

Tang Xia looked up at him and was amused by the cautious look in his eyes.

Of course, she concealed it very well.

Tang Xia handed the child over.

Although Jin Xinghan's movements were somewhat clumsy, it was clear that he had tried his best.

What surprised Tang Xia even more was that the child, who had been making a fuss and crying, immediately quieted down as soon as he was in Jin Xinghan's arms.

Her large, dark, and bright eyes were fixed on Jin Xinghan's face.

Her chubby little hands were also gripping his collar tightly.

Tang Xia couldn't help but wonder if her daughter had inherited her obsession with looks.

"She seems to have stopped crying."

Jin Xinghan's tone carried a barely perceptible hint of surprise and joy.

Tang Xia rubbed her forehead and gave a dry laugh: "Niannian seems to like you quite a bit."

Jin Xinghan expressed great satisfaction with this statement.

His slender eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile.

She truly is his daughter.

Niannian was in Jin Xinghan's arms and soon started giggling.

Tang Xia was about to pick her up when, before Jin Xinghan could even extend his arm, the little girl started crying again.

Seeing this, the two of them were truly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Jin Xinghan paused, and her voice softened as she spoke: "Stay here, with the child."

This was his third invitation tonight.

If I am rejected again—

"it is good."

Jin Xinghan was stunned for a moment, then asked again to confirm, "What did you just say?"

Tang Xia's bright eyes curved slightly, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "I said, okay, from now on, I'll have to trouble Mr. Jin to take good care of me."

-

The two did not immediately tell Tang Xia and the child that they wanted to stay.

When the moon was high in the sky, the group reluctantly left.

Despite saying she wouldn't drink, Jin Yao couldn't resist sneaking a drink.

However, her alcohol tolerance is truly a headache.

"Sister Tang Xia, I'm so happy for you! You're a benefactor in my life."

Jin Yao held Tang Xia tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.

Tang Xia patted her head and said softly, "I should say that you are my benefactor. You have helped me a lot to get to where I am today."

Jin Yao shook her head frantically, her eyes slightly red, whether from being drunk or thinking of something else was unclear.

"At that time, I almost gave up on becoming a lawyer. It was your unconditional trust in me that gave me back my confidence. You are definitely my benefactor. Sister Tang Xia, you and my brother must take good care of each other."

Jin Yao whispered the last sentence into Tang Xia's ear.

Jin Xinghan was also an unfortunate person, and she sincerely hoped that one day Tang Xia could heal him.

But before she could get a response from Tang Xia, Wen Qi grabbed her and pulled her back.

"She's drunk, I'll take her home, so we'll be going now."

"Well, be careful on the road."

On the other side, Song Zhiruo also drove up and helped Liang Jingfang, who had drunk a little, to the passenger seat.

However, behind his glasses, he was always looking at someone else.

When Song Zhiruo realized this, she could barely maintain her smile.

Before leaving, Liang Jingfang rolled down the car window and called out to Tang Xia, who was standing in the yard, "You have to go to work tomorrow, don't be late."

"Don't worry, Teacher Liang, I will definitely be there on time."

Only after the car had driven far away did Song Zhiruo speak up and question, "Liang Jingfang, you wouldn't actually have fallen for Tang Xia, would you? Like that divorced woman!"

Liang Jingfang frowned.

"What are you talking about? Besides, aren't you two on good terms? Why are you using such a word to address her?"

Song Zhiruo was so angry she almost laughed: "Fine, I only said one thing, and you've already said so many things to me because of her, Liang Jingfang, you really have no heart. Don't you know who I came back to China for? I do have a good relationship with her, but if I find out that you have feelings for her, I guarantee that she will definitely not be able to stay in S City!"

Liang Jingfang's voice was drowned out by the roar of the car engine.

Song Zhiruo had no idea what he had said.

After seeing the others off, Tang Xia returned to the house.

Jin Xinghan was holding Niannian and standing by the stairs, staring at her intently, as if afraid she would leave.

Tang Xia immediately suppressed this thought.

It's an illusion, it must be an illusion.

She coughed lightly, walked over, and thanked him sincerely again: "Mr. Jin, you've really gone to a lot of trouble these past few days. I'll move out as soon as I find a suitable place."

"Why move? The villa is so big, isn't it enough for you and your daughter? If you ask me, you should stay here and settle down so I can continue to take care of this little girl."

As soon as Aunt Ruan came out of the kitchen, she heard Tang Xia say that she wanted to move out, and immediately tried to persuade her to stay.

Tang Xia asked curiously, "Aunt Ruan, aren't you going back to the countryside to retire?"

“I’m not going back. I really don’t like being in that place. I’ve already talked to Xinghan. He’s hired me to continue taking care of Niannian. Xia, you can’t let me lose this job.”

Tang Xia knew that this was just an excuse Aunt Ruan had left for her.

But she just smiled and didn't say anything.

No one can guarantee what will happen in the future.

She had already learned her lesson once and been hurt once; she would never entrust herself and her daughter to anyone again, not even Jin Xinghan.

She can only ever trust herself.

Aunt Ruan didn't get a definite answer from her and wanted to say something more, but Jin Xinghan stopped her.

"Aunt Ruan, why don't you take Niannian upstairs to rest? She's probably tired from playing; she keeps yawning."

"Alright, you all should get some rest too. I'll take care of this little girl."

After Aunt Ruan left with the child, Jin Xinghan seemed to have something to say to Tang Xia.

But in the end, all that came out of his mouth was "Goodnight".

Tang Xia had just ended a failed marriage, and it was impossible to expect her to move on immediately.

But there's plenty of time ahead of them.

Jin Xinghan had two rooms prepared on the second floor.

One room was for Tang Xia, right next to Jin Xinghan's room.

The other room was for Aunt Ruan and her child, located at the other end of the corridor.

Their life together under one roof began.

Late at night, Tang Xia lay on her soft, comfortable bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Thinking that Jin Xinghan was lying on the bed just a wall away, she inexplicably felt her face getting hot.

In the end, she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

The next morning.

Tang Xia was woken up by her phone alarm, feeling utterly exhausted.

For a moment, she wondered if she absolutely had to take this class.

However, she dismissed the thought after only a second.

This was an opportunity she had fought tooth and nail for; how could she let herself be defeated so easily by sleeping in!

Tang Xia quickly washed up and stood in front of the mirror to cheer herself up.

Soon, she regained her usual energetic self.

Tang Xia didn't need to go to the construction site today, so she took a taxi directly to Huanyu.

But when she saw that familiar figure at the front desk, the smile on her face vanished instantly.
