The Secret of Second Marriage

"But you can't...be a pervert!"

I say.

After catching my breath, I pushed him away, my face turning red instantly.

Shen Xing said, "Sister, I just like you and I can't help but want to see you! You've been ignoring me on set all this time. Do you know how much it hurts me?"

But no matter how painful it is, I can still endure it.

At least I can still see you every day, but sister, your scenes are finished, and you won't be on set tomorrow morning.

The thought of you leaving tomorrow fills my heart with an empty, aching pain!

I took a few steps back. I had just been touched by Shen Xing's fingers for a few seconds, and I did feel my face flush and my heart race.

But my reason tells me, what are we doing? Are we having an affair?

I forced myself to remain calm and said, "Shen Xing, didn't I hear that you went back to your hometown and went on blind dates? Your aunt introduced you to a very nice girl."

I think your aunt has good taste. The girl she introduced you to is about your age and you're a good match.

From now on, you need to settle down, stop two-timing, and treat her well... okay?

"Sis, who told you I went on a blind date? I've been home for over a month, and everyone back home has heard I killed someone and might go to jail. Under those circumstances, how could anyone possibly introduce me to a blind date?"

Shen Xing said in a low voice, "My aunt meant well and advised me to find a good job in my hometown, get married, and have children."

But I just love you! I love you to the point of obsession.

"you?"

I was so nervous that I couldn't utter a single word.

He said, "I don't have a girlfriend, I've always been single. You know I've been waiting for you!"

"But I already have President Jiang by my side. He treats me very well, and I like him very much. I can't let him down!"

I flung Shen Xing's hand away, hastily swiped my card to enter the hotel as if trying to escape, and then slammed the hotel room door shut.

Shen Xing and I were destined to be apart.

He came into my life too late, and it wasn't quite right either.

After waiting a while, I heard Shen Xing leave the room.

I leaned close to the door, took a deep breath, dragged my tired body, took a shower, changed into my pajamas, and then lay down on the big bed in Hengdian. I was so sleepy that I fell asleep, so sleepy that I couldn't even keep my eyes open.

The next morning, I slept until after 9 a.m. and received a text message from the production team that the previous episode had been cut into two parts and bought by Mango TV for a high price, causing it to become incredibly popular online.

The show was so popular that the director asked the original cast to continue filming the dating reality show this week for three or four days.

My guest fee increased tenfold, from 150,000 to 15 million. I'm a workaholic, so I naturally seized this opportunity. I told the director I would take a day off and would be on time to record the show the day after tomorrow.

Great, another opportunity has come.

Today is a sunny early winter day. Although the weather is a bit cold and the trees in Hengdian are bare, my heart is warm.

After settling my luggage, I dragged a huge suitcase to the hotel to check out, then moved the suitcase to the trunk of the car, and drove the minivan back to Beijing.

I'm used to being alone.

However, as the workload increases later, I may need to hire another assistant.

I left my luggage at the entrance of the hotel corridor, and Shen Xing helped me carry it to my car. Before I left, he gave me a purple crystal tree bonsai symbolizing peace and prosperity, which I could put in the car. He said it was a token of his appreciation.

I put this purple crystal tree bonsai in the car. It's very beautiful; each one is crystal clear. I love purple because it symbolizes great success and prosperity.

Finally, the time for farewell arrived. I waved to Shen Xing and said, "Sister is leaving. Take care."

"Sister, if he treats you badly, come back to me."

Shen Xing said.

I was stunned. I smiled and said, "Shen Xing, I think your world is too simple. The adult world is actually quite complicated."

Love is the same, and so is marriage! I hope you can meet a girl who understands you.

As for Mr. Jiang and me, I want to spend my whole life with him.

Shen Xing suddenly shed a tear.

I don't know if what I said was too cruel to him, but after thinking about it, I decided to harden my heart and drive away.

……

Back in Beijing, I bought a lot of gifts and first visited my daughter. Then I went back to the neighborhood where Mr. Jiang and I live, bought some potted plants, renovated the house, and bought crayfish to make spicy crayfish.

President Jiang likes to eat fish.

I also made a dish of pickled fish.

Today I'm wearing a purple sweater and an apron, busy in the kitchen.

President Jiang sent me a message saying he has another meeting to attend and will come back to have dinner with me after that.

I said okay.

After I finished cooking, the nanny had already picked my daughter up from school.

At 6:10, Mr. Jiang's car pulled up downstairs on time. He was dressed in a suit and tie. He came up, gave me a hug, and said, "Honey, you've worked hard filming these past few days. You can rest at home tomorrow, I'll cook!"

"Um"

I smiled shyly yet happily.

Although Mr. Jiang and I are not married, we already feel like a married couple while living together.

The sky outside was overcast and cold, only about 10 degrees Celsius. Inside the room, under the warm light, a sumptuous meal with steaming hot food was laid out on the table.

While chatting with President Jiang, I served food to Tangtang…

Tangtang smiled happily.

Even though Mr. Jiang was out, when the boss brought him home, he put down his boss-like airs, put on disposable gloves, and carefully peeled crayfish, putting them into my bowl.

Tangtang asked, "Uncle, why didn't you give me any?"

Mr. Jiang said, "Tangtang, when you grow up, you will meet a man who loves you very much, and he will be your husband. Your future husband will peel shrimp for you. But I will only ever peel shrimp for your mother!"

"So sweet!"

Tangtang said sweetly, "Mommy, you're so lucky!"

My heart felt as sweet as if I had eaten honey, and the TV was replaying the TV series I had filmed before.

I feel that when you reach middle age, everything starts to go in a positive direction.

Just then, Mr. Jiang received a phone call from his mother, who said he was critically ill and wanted him to go to the hospital immediately to be with him... She specifically mentioned that she didn't want to see me...

Once again, I felt a sense of crisis.

President Jiang was also frowning. I was wondering if President Jiang and I could overcome this difficulty and stay together?
