The Secret of Second Marriage

Late at night, Mr. Jiang drove me downstairs, hugged me in the car, and then gently kissed me.

I felt a surge of infatuation.

I couldn't help but say, "Mr. Jiang, let's go to your place tonight."

President Jiang hugged me and said, "Okay, Man."

He drove his car out of my residential area and into their underground parking lot. It was already 1 or 2 a.m.

The underground parking lot was eerily quiet; there wasn't a single person in sight.

Mr. Jiang put his arm around me in the car, gently kissed my forehead, and placed me on the leather sofa seat in the back of the car.

He was driving a luxury car; the second row was spacious and very luxurious.

He turned on the heater and rolled down all the car windows, then said gently, "Man, I think you're like the protagonist in a book."

"Who?"

I asked out of curiosity.

President Jiang said: "Scarlett O'Hara from 'Gone with the Wind.' You are just as kind, brave, and resilient as she is."

Mm, cheer up! You're not as weak as you think; you have a tenacious will to live.

You must believe in yourself; you are the bravest, the most powerful, and the most vibrant.

No matter how bad the situation is, you force yourself to be brave, and eventually you'll find that you really can do it!

My tears streamed down my face.

I've also read the famous book "Gone with the Wind." The most memorable line for me is the classic quote from the end of "Gone with the Wind," the original English phrase "After all, tomorrow is another day," a classic line from Scarlett Johansson.

No matter what, tomorrow is another day!

My face was streaked with tears.

Thinking of that line, I felt a renewed sense of hope.

Suddenly, President Jiang grabbed my hand, pulled me into his arms, and rolled us into the car together. He looked at me intently and sighed, "Man, did Xue Fan save the galaxy in his past life to meet such a wonderful woman like you?"

When you quit your job to become a housewife for him and handed in your resignation letter, I was deeply moved.

I never imagined that in this society where money and fame are so important, everyone is so hypocritical, pedantic, and materialistic. It's surprising to find a woman like you who would give up everything for love.

At that moment, all I could feel was envy!

I was touched; so this was what he was thinking when I resigned.

Mr. Jiang said, "Man, we've known each other for almost 10 years, and I still clearly remember the day you came to my company. It was a summer day, and you came to my company wearing a blue dress."

At that time, my company had just been established and urgently needed an experienced accountant.

I wasn't satisfied with any of the interviews I had, but when I met you, my heart seemed to stop beating. I was extremely satisfied and decided to hire you on the spot.

I didn't say anything, but I still vividly remember what happened that day.

Ten years ago, I was a female college student who had just graduated from school. I was probably the type of fair-skinned, beautiful, and pretty girl in my class.

My friends all say I have a very elegant appearance, the kind of woman with a subtle ink-wash painting vibe. Many guys pursue me, but I just happened to fall for Xue Fan, a man from a humble background who has achieved success.

Ten years ago, college graduates had a relatively good job market.

At that time, I had interned at a large company for a period of time before graduating from university, so I was quite familiar with the process. That's how I got an interview in Mr. Jiang's office through my resume.

At the time, I wasn't very satisfied with General Manager Jiang because, with my education and work experience, I could have easily gone to a large company.

Mr. Jiang's company was recently established. It occupies a small, rented space on the tenth floor of a building, and the staff are all new, just like an initial startup team.

I stayed here because I was moved by President Jiang's enthusiasm.

On the day of the interview, Mr. Jiang personally took me to his office, where he poured me a cup of tea and talked with me.

I remember it very clearly; back then, he was a handsome, gentle, and refined young man.

He said he was very confident in the company's prospects, and he told me a lot about the entrepreneurial policies in this area, and promised to give me my ideal salary.

I was touched by his enthusiasm and sincerity, so I decided to stay at his company. I worked there for three years. Later, after I became pregnant, I quit my job and became a full-time housewife.

My husband promised to take care of me and love me for the rest of my life.

President Jiang was very reluctant to see me resign and tried to persuade me to stay, promising me a promotion and a raise.

But I still refused.

He asked me why?

I said something incredibly naive back then.

I said, "Mr. Jiang, money can never be earned enough. What's most important to me is to be able to spend my whole life with the person I love and live a happy life."

My understanding of happiness at the time was that he would hold my hand on the lawn in the park, I would hold the child, and the three of us would take a leisurely stroll, watch the city lights, eat roadside barbecue, and live an ordinary little life.

Home is very important to me.

At that time, Mr. Jiang's company had gradually grown to a small scale.

Seeing that I was determined to resign, he seemed to have seen through something and said to me, "Ms. Jiang, I will still keep your position in the company. You can go back to be a full-time housewife. If you need to come back someday, just let me know."

He was very grateful that I accompanied him to various government departments during the early stages of his business, went on business trips together, attended meetings, recruited and trained staff, and even kept accounts, did accounting and reporting in the office. Working overtime late into the night was a regular occurrence for me.

I resigned from my job and returned to my family with high hopes for a happy and bright future. I became a full-time housewife and lived with my husband in a small rented apartment where we had our daughter, Tangtang.

At the time, I didn't think those hard days were that difficult. On the contrary, it was the most relaxed and happy time in my marriage. Although we were very poor, Xue Fan came home on time every day for dinner and spent time with me and the baby.

But after our baby turned 3, with my support and kindness, my husband's career suddenly took off. His salary and position both improved significantly.

His salary rose from a few thousand yuan a month to over ten thousand yuan a month, and later even reached an annual salary of one million yuan, making him a middle-level manager in the company.

But ever since then, my husband has often been out drinking and socializing, staying out all night and always going on business trips, leaving me alone at home, waiting for the food to get cold before he comes home.

When I saw Mr. Jiang again five or six years later, his company had finally grown up and the office environment had changed a lot. It had moved from a small company to a more prosperous commercial building in the bustling city center and had booked an entire floor.

President Jiang has changed too.

He was no longer the enthusiastic and naive young man who used to talk to me so freely. Instead, he had become shrewd, aloof, and unpredictable, increasingly exuding the aura of a leader.

My face flushed, and I asked, "President Jiang, do you really like me?"

President Jiang said, "Yes, Man, actually I've always liked you a lot."

He suddenly sped up and unbuttoned my clothes, then told me to gently press down on the leather sofa seat in the back, unbuckle my belt, and greedily kiss my entire body.

I could feel the hormonal aura of a mature man emanating from the tip of my nose.

My face flushed red, my body went numb, and my legs went weak from his kisses.

I held him and kissed him passionately in the car. This kind of love, this intense, visceral feeling of love, eased my long-standing loneliness and solitude.

He kissed me passionately, and I just breathed heavily, pulling my hair up with both hands...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were completely infatuated.

He flirted with me.

After a while, he sat me on the sofa with his arms around me, and I sat on his lap. Our upper bodies were still relatively neatly dressed, but our clothes below our legs were gone.

I sat on his lap, panting.

Something indescribable happened to us...

The whole process was exhilarating.

We lost it all. He lay down, completely exhausted, and rested for a while…

I don't know why, but even though it's still winter, I can smell the scent of spring, and images of spring appear in my mind.

The birdsong outside felt so comforting, like the enchanting fragrance of flowers. Even the cold winter night filled me with a special excitement.

Afterwards, Mr. Jiang dressed me, put on a down jacket, and carried me through the elevator to his home. I was still feeling incredibly excited and ecstatic.

Then we went to bed.

President Jiang came several more times, until he was completely exhausted and hugged each other tightly.

Before going to sleep, we're going to discuss the classic novel *Gone with the Wind*.

I said, "General Manager Jiang..."

General Jiang said, "Call me Hui."

"Hui, what do you think about the ending of 'Gone with the Wind'? Does Rhett Butler still love Scarlett? Will he come back to visit her? Can they continue to love each other?"

I asked…

President Jiang said, "It's definitely possible, just like I can't live without you. Even Rhett Butler couldn't live without Scarlett. In the end, she loved him, and he would always be there for her."

"Um"

I say.

President Jiang stretched out his arms and pulled her into a deep sleep.

My head was spinning, but I felt an unusual sweetness.

I'm reminded of the novel "Gone with the Wind," where the female protagonist, Scarlett O'Hara, was also remarried when she met the male protagonist.

She gradually built her business into a large enterprise.

I think that no matter what difficulties I encounter, I should learn from her, face them bravely, grow, break through some constraints and difficulties, and finally live the life I want with the person I love.

As for my husband Xue Fan, tell him to get as far away as possible; he's a complete scumbag.

Back when he had nothing, he carefully wove a lie of love to deceive me. I gave up my job for him, bore his children, endured the torment from his in-laws, and stayed alone in an empty house for three whole years. That's enough.

I want a divorce.

I'm starting my new life.

At this moment, my thoughts were so firm and resolute.

I slept until almost dawn when my phone suddenly rang. It was my husband calling.

I was woken up by the noise. I glanced at the time and it was 4 a.m. What a nutcase! Why is he making a phone call so late at night instead of sleeping?
