He wanted Yao Anqi to leave the place filled with troubles because he knew that being involved with Chen Jingrong wasn’t a good thing.
But, this was only possible if Yao Anqi was willing…
That night, Yao Anqi got off work and returned home. When she saw Xingzhe sleeping soundly in his father’s arms, she relaxed a little.
She then put down her handbag and took Xingzhe from Zixi’s arms.
At this moment, Zixi stood up and said to her, “I already know about what happened at the hospital. However, I wasn’t the one that told her.”
“I already knew what she was doing at the hospital a long time ago, so I knew I was going to be discovered soon,” Yao Anqi replied. “I’m not afraid of her coming to look for me. After all, her man is indeed in front of me right now.”
“Anqi…”
“I know what you want to say, but I’m not as weak as you think.” After speaking, Yao Anqi comforted her son and carried him into the nursery.
Zixi followed behind. After thinking for a bit, he finally said to Yao Anqi, “I’m not sure what I need to do to show you my support and protection. Something I heard in the video today really hurt me, so I thought about it all day and decided that I want to legally register Xingzhe as my son and make your identity official.”
“Of course, if you’re not willing, then I am happy to wait.”
After Yao Anqi heard this, she turned around and looked at Zixi, “Are you serious about this decision?”
“Of course. I already said it before, if you don’t marry me, then I’ll take care of Xingzhe and never get married,” Zixi replied in seriousness. “After all, I’m a father, so I want to set a good example.”
“I can take some time off tomorrow morning,” Yao Anqi replied. “My ID is in the drawers upstairs.”
“Does that mean you’re willing?”
“Just like you said, I need something official. Plus, I don’t want people to point at Xingzhe and judge him.”
“But, Zixi, I’ll only say this once. I get hurt easily and I’m very vengeful. More importantly, if you plan to ever lie to me, then I’d prefer it if you never let me know. I’m not completely ready to be your wife yet, but I’m willing to give it a try for Xingzhe. However, don’t try to force things…”
Zixi nodded his head, “I understand.”
“Don’t try to act loving in front of me either, I understand that you just ended a relationship not long ago and love takes time to develop. Since we are getting married, we need to be on the same page.”
“Of course,” Zixi nodded.
“Also, a proposal isn’t necessary…You can make up for it if you actually fall in love with me some day. It doesn’t seem appropriate at the moment.”
As long as the couple got their official documents signed, Chen Jingrong would have nothing to say.
Yao Anqi wasn’t afraid of being yelled at by Chen Jingrong, she was simply worried that Xingzhe would get implicated.
“In that case, are you going to stay at the hospital?”
“Why should I leave because of her? I didn’t do anything wrong.”
When Zixi heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “I thought, judging by your gentle appearance, you wouldn’t want to cause trouble and that you’d be very passive.”
“That depends on who I’m up against.”
That night, the couple continued to sleep in separate rooms. Yao Anqi slept in the main bedroom with Xingzhe while Zixi lay in the guest bedroom.
As he used his hands as a pillow, Zixi thought back on everything he went through with Chen Jingrong over the past 4 years. He never thought about it in the past, but now that he thought about it in detail, it seemed, there were lies around every corner.
Everything was a dream created by Chen Jingrong. Unfortunately, one had to eventually wake up from their dream.
On the other hand, when he thought about Yao Anqi and how she suffered all these years because of him, he felt like he owed her and Xingzhe too much.
The next morning, the couple took Xingzhe straight to the Civil Affairs Office to get their official paperwork done. Due to his special identity, Zixi also brought along the marriage approval letter from his military superior.
“Your baby is already so big. Why did it take you so long to register your marriage?” the clerk asked. Most importantly, she wanted to ask Zixi why it took him so long to take responsibilty.
Zixi laughed as he looked at Yao Anqi and replied, “I took a huge detour before, but I’m finally on the right path.”
The clerk glared at Zixi and eventually gave the couple their official marriage certificate.
Actually, these two were walking a very similar path to Emma and Eric.
But of course, Eric and Emma got married without any pre-existing love. In fact, they barely even knew each other.
In comparison, Zixi and Yao Anqi at least had a child.
But, even though they were a married couple on the surface, they still had a lot of problems to resolve. Zixi was in no rush, though. After all, he still had an entire lifetime to get to know Yao Anqi properly.
After registering their marriage, Yao Anqi hurried back to the hospital and returned to work. Of course, a red marriage certificate booklet was currently sitting inside her handbag.
Yesterday, Chen Jingrong created a huge drama. And today, Yao Anqi was married to Zixi. The reason was simple, Zixi was determined to leave Chen Jingrong.
Yao Anqi was well aware that the triggering factor was the countless number of times that Chen Jingrong lied to Zixi and not because of her involvement. Since her conscience was clear, she decided to treat Chen Jingrong like she didn’t exist.
“Dr. Yao, while you took time off this morning, Chen Jingrong came and caused trouble again,” Yao Anqi’s assisting nurse said awkwardly. “She may even appear again this afternoon…”
“That’s fine, do what you need to do.” As soon as Yao Anqi returned to the hospital, she was cold as usual and dealt with business seriously.
The nurse nodded her head, but she was worried that Yao Anqi’s reputation would be ruined by Chen Jingrong and people would misunderstand her as a result.
An incident like this was embarrassing in the military. It seemed, Chen Jingrong was certainly willing to sacrifice anything.
But, no matter what she did, Chen Jingrong was still unhappy with the result.
Even though Yao Anqi and Zixi had a physical relationship, she was the one that stayed by his side for 4 years…
Did 4 years not compare to that one night?
She completely overlooked the real reason why Zixi broke up with her. After all, a relationship wasn’t measured by time. If a person wasn’t honest, what good did 10 years, 20 years, or even 30 years do?
But, Chen Jingrong felt like she had sacrificed everything. That she even went to the lengths of lying to Zixi.
She was willing to go this far. What about Yao Anqi? Unfortunately, time was about to tell her that she was lying to herself.
…
After registering his marriage with Chen Jingrong, Zixi knew that he couldn’t ignore Chen Jingrong anymore. So, he contacted his superior.
The chief had already heard about how Chen Jingrong was causing drama at the hospital, so he sighed, “This Chen Jingrong has embarrassed the entire military! Don’t worry, I’m going to speak to her. She can’t continue like this. It’s time to be tough with her.”
Chen Jingrong knew she’d be spoken to sooner or later. But, she believed that she could sacrifice anything for Zixi.
“Chen Jingrong, oh, Chen Jingrong. How far do you need to take things before you give up?”
“Chief, I need Zixi to come see me!” Chen Jingrong said with determination. “Otherwise, I will continue to cause drama.”
“What type of place do you take the military for? Do you know the rules? Because of your stupid matter, how does the hospital view us now?”
“You are not allowed to leave the base for 7 days. If you cause drama at the hospital again, you might as well go home. I’ll set you free forever so you can go look for Zixi as much as you want.”
Chen Jingrong cried as she left the Chief’s office. The chief had no choice but to do this because she was being so persistent.
However, Zixi and Yao Anqi had already gotten married, how could she continue to harass them?
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Yao Anqi expected Chen Jingrong to continue causing trouble, so she was ready to fight back. But, to her surprise, Chen Jingrong did not show up.
In the end, she discovered that Chen Jingrong was restricted from leaving the base for 7 days.
Although it was just a guess, Yao Anqi had a feeling that this had something to do with Zixi.
That night, when Yao Anqi arrived home, Zixi was in the middle of dancing with Xingzhe. Yao Anqi immediately laughed at the sight.
When Zixi saw Yao Anqi standing in the doorway, he awkwardly turned off the nursery rhyme playing on the television, “Errr, I thought you were coming home later.”
“It wasn’t too busy today, so I left early.” Yao Anqi even had time to buy some groceries on the way home.
Zixi was quite surprised, “Can you cook?”
“How else am I supposed to survive? Take care of Xingzhe, dinner will be ready in half an hour.”
Zixi was very picky when it came to food. After all, Emma and Eric were both amazing cooks. This made it difficult for the Roberts Siblings to accept sub par food outside of home.
Yao Anqi’s hands were used to holding surgical knives and scalpels, so it was a bit odd to see her holding a kitchen knife.
“That’s right, Chen Jingrong’s being confined to the army base, have you heard about it?”
“Really?” Zixi asked. “I guess it’s because she’s affected the military’s image.”
“I’m not actually that scared of her. After all, we are bound to meet again…” Yao Anqi said as she looked at Zixi who was carrying Xingzhe. But, when she saw the pacifier in Xingzhe’s mouth, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Xingzhe hasn’t used that for a long time…”
“Really? I’m inexperienced,” Zixi immediately pulled out the pacifier.
But, as soon as he did this, Xingzhe began to cry.
Zixi tried to comfort him, but he eventually looked at Yao Anqi helplessly. Yao Anqi laughed, placed the pacifier back in Xingzhe’s mouth and the rascal immediately stopped crying.
“Didn’t you say that he doesn’t use it?”
“Are you that obedient?” Yao Anqi asked.
“If I don’t obey my wife, who am I supposed to obey?” Zixi asked.
Yao Anqi sighed as she evaluated, “You had really bad taste in the past.”
Zixi shrugged his shoulders, but he still didn’t say anything bad about Chen Jingrong.
This was his last bit of mercy.
…
After dinner, Zixi placed little Xingzhe into the bathtub and started washing him. But, Yao Anqi ended up carrying him back out.
Zixi followed behind in confusion.
“His bath isn’t finished…”
