Marry Me Quick

Chapter 658 Second Son

Xia immediately explained when she heard what Jingshu said. "What do you mean by that? It's because my lease

was up, and I'm your secretary, so I moved in to work with you!"

"Oh." Jingshu tilted his head indifferently. It was evident he didn't take Xia's words to heart.

Ziyue had brought Zixi with her. Jingshu waved at Zixi. "Come here, Zixi. Give Uncle Bai a hug."

Zixi had lived with Jingshu for the past few months, and they were close. Zixi immediately smiled at Jingshu and

extended his arms. "Uncle Bai!"

"You have no conscience. You haven't seen me in a few days but haven't called me…" Jingshu walked to the couch

as he carried Zixi and spoke softly to him.

Ziyue looked away from the two and looked at Xia.

She hadn't said anything. She smiled at Xia, and Xia immediately explained, "It's not what you think…"

"What do I think?" Ziyue blinked and looked at Xia blankly.

"You… Ah! How annoying." Xia knew Ziyue was feigning ignorance. Xia grabbed her own hair restlessly and didn't

know what to say.

Although she and Jingshu stayed under the same roof, they slept in different rooms. The two were more like

housemates, but how they got along was no different from an ordinary couple.

They went to work together during the day, went grocery shopping after work, cooked together at night, and went

out on dates on the weekends.

Even so, she told herself that it was alright if neither of them said anything and if she didn't admit it.

But she never thought Ziyue would suddenly return.

Ziyue had previously analyzed it with her. Xia couldn't afford to anger Jingshu's family.

But she liked Jingshu. She couldn't control it and couldn't persuade herself to leave.

Ziyue knew what Xia was thinking about. Love always makes people lose their minds. It never gave people a chance

to stay clear-headed and rational.

Ziyue pursed her lips and smiled when she saw Xia's troubled expression. Her voice was slightly encouraging. "Why

do you need to care if you follow your own heart? As long as he has feelings for you, everything else doesn't

matter."

She couldn't retreat when nothing had happened. Perhaps taking a step forward would make things different.

If Xia didn't take that step out and tried to be with Jingshu, she would never know if she could be happy with Jingshu.

It might be possible if she took one step out. But if she retreated now, everything would be impossible.

Sometimes, the impulsiveness and courage that came with youth were pretty good qualities.

Upon hearing it, Xia suddenly widened her eyes. "Ziyue…"

"What I want to say is what you're thinking of." Ziyue went forward and held Xia's hand. She didn't need to say a

word.

It's not easy to meet someone I like. Since there's a chance, why don't I take it?

"Mm." Xia nodded heavily.

Ziyue hugged Xia. Then, Ziyue seemed to suddenly think of something and hit her head. She said, "I called Jingshu

before I came. Didn't he tell you?"

"Ah?"

Ziyue didn't seem to see the confusion on Xia's face. Ziyue asked, "Take me to see Beef. Where is it?"

Men are so petty. Muchen was like this, and so was Jingshu.

Jingshu deliberately didn't tell Xia that Ziyue was coming to pick Beef up today because he wanted Ziyue to advise

Xia.

She used to be prejudiced against Jingshu but had seen his changes in the past two years. He would have continued

to be promiscuous in the past two to three years if he didn't genuinely like Jingshu.

Perhaps he was pretending to curry favor with Xia, but he couldn't have kept the act up for two to three years.

Furthermore, she could see Jingshu's character.

Xia had always been apprehensive. Half of it was because of what Ziyue had said to her.

Relieving Xia's concerns was a way for Ziyue to help Jingshu.

It would be great if love could find a way between them and they could stay happy.

They had to be happy.

…

When Xia went out for a jog in the morning, she took Beef along. After returning, it ran to the backyard by itself to

play.

Xia led Ziyue to the backyard and pointed to Beef, rolling around on the grass. "There. Do you see it?"

Beef hadn't gained or lost weight. It looked like it was in great spirits as it rolled around on the grass.

Ziyue's lips couldn't help but curve to reveal a smile. After a moment, she called out, "Beef."

Beef, who had been rolling around on the grass, stopped at once.

It tilted its head, seemingly thinking that the voice was slightly familiar. It seemed to ponder before turning. When it

saw Ziyue, it ran to her frantically.

It ran to her quickly, and its ears stood up.

It ran to Ziyue and jumped up as it leaped on her while barking happily.

Ziyue reached out to hug Beef and stroke its head. It immediately tilted its head and rubbed its head against Ziyue's

hand. It was acting more coyly than Zixi.

If it could speak, it must have been saying, "Hugs! Kisses! Carry me!"

"Alright, alright. Calm down. We're going home in a while." Ziyue stroked its head before letting go and putting it

down.

Beef wasn't satisfied and still wanted to leap on its female master, but realized she had turned and started walking

to the back.

It could only follow her and run circles around her.

Ziyue turned to glance at Beef. It was still so energetic.

Jingshu and Xia had to work, so Ziyue didn't stay long. She left with Zixi and Beef shortly.

Back home, Beef seemed to inspect its territory. First, it ran to its room and slipped around, then ran up and down

frantically between floors.

Its behavior seemed to prove it was delighted to be home.

Tired from running, it fell asleep at Ziyue's feet. It even put its head on her legs.

Ziyue happened to be sitting on the couch at that moment. She felt the weight at her feet and looked down. She

noticed Beef looking at her with its round and wide eyes.

"You must be tired. You're so playful even when you're so old." Ziyue couldn't help but stroke its head.

She had watched Beef grow up. It felt like her second son.

Beef rubbed against her hand in enjoyment. It suddenly got up from the floor and ran to the entrance before

returning with a shoe.

It was a man's cotton slipper.

Other than Muchen, there was no other man at home.

Beef held the cotton slipper with its mouth and left it at Ziyue's feet before running around her.

The smile on Ziyue's face dimmed. She faintly understood what Beef meant.

Beef must have realized Ziyue was in a lousy mood, so it stopped gradually. It sat on the floor and looked at Ziyue

quietly, looking extremely obedient.
