Chapter 1005: Xu Che’s Side 17 – You’re Going to be a Father

For the next few days, Xiao Yi didn’t know how to speak to Xu Che. Every time the words were on the tip of her tongue, she would feel that it wasn’t the best time.

During this period when Xu Che’s arm was injured, for the first few days, he couldn’t exert any strength at all. Xiao Yi’s heart ached when she saw this. At the same time, she felt that she had been too selfish.

Xu Che noticed that Xiao Yi had been hesitant to speak for the past few days. He was very stubborn and did not ask her about it because he really wanted to see her take the initiative to open up. However, even after his injury healed, Xiao Yi still could not tell him the secret in her heart.

Although he felt that he had been very patient with Xiao Yi, sometimes, he would still be hurt by her actions despite knowing that it was not on purpose.

For a week, it was status quo.

A week later, Tang Yan personally called Sheng Xiao to borrow Xu Che for a joint operation that required Xu Che’s agile skills.

For some reason, when Xu Che received this mission, he heaved a sigh of relief. The unwillingness he faced every day from Xiao Yi was almost suffocating him.

That night, Xu Che went home to pack his luggage.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi panicked. “You’re leaving?”

Seeing Xiao Yi’s nervous expression, Xu Che’s depression was relieved. “I have a mission. I’m going on a business trip for a few days.”

“A few days? Is it dangerous? When are you coming back? You didn’t even discuss it with me.”

Hearing her question him like a firecracker, Xu Che closed his luggage and looked at Xiao Yi seriously. “It’ll take about four days. It’s a high-risk operation. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back on Friday.”

Xiao Yi was even more flustered when she got the answer. “Do you have to go?”

Xu Che put down his suitcase and held Xiao Yi’s hand, his tone a little helpless. “I know you have something to say to me, but can’t no matter what. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m the person closest to you. Why can’t you trust me wholeheartedly until now? Why aren’t you willing to give your heart to me? I thought I wouldn’t mind. I thought I could continue to wait, but sometimes I realize… that I’m also a person, an ordinary man.

“When I received this mission, I didn’t know why, but I actually felt like it was a stroke of luck. I couldn’t continue lying to myself. Xiao Yi, I’m not a blockhead. I feel that my position in your heart isn’t that important.

“During the four days that I’ll be away, you should think carefully. If you’re sure that you can’t give your heart to me, I think that we can choose another relationship. There’s no need to force each other like this.”

After hearing Xu Che’s words, Xiao Yi was stunned…

She was at a loss. She thought that she had hidden her insecurities well, but in reality…

It wasn’t like that at all.

“Xu Che, it’s not like that. Can you not leave?”

Xu Che shook his head. “I’m by your side, but you can’t see yourself clearly. Besides, a person’s life is at stake. Everyone is waiting for me now. Take good care of yourself these few days. I believe that you can do it.”

With that, Xu Che picked up the suitcase.

Then, without waiting for Xiao Yi to continue, he quickly walked out of the house.

He never wanted to say such hurtful words to her, but… if he didn’t say it now, his chest would explode.

The four days would be a good time to calm down.

..

Xiao Yi watched Xu Che leave with her eyes wide open. Tears suddenly flowed out of them. She didn’t know why she still lacked courage. She was clearly not the same person from before.

The day after Xu Che left, Xiao Yi called Mu Qiqi.

Now, only Mu Qiqi could untie the knot in her heart.

The two of them arranged to meet at the branch office. Mu Qiqi knew that Xiao Yi hadn’t slept all night.

“Did something happen with Xu Che?”

“Xu Che said that I don’t love him enough. That we should calm ourselves down for a few days,” Xiao Yi replied weakly.

“Actually, we’ve already discussed this matter in private. Our conclusion is that you really don’t love Xu Che enough. Firstly, you don’t trust him, so you’re afraid of marriage. Secondly, you don’t care about him enough. You’re always immersed in your thoughts of whether or not others hurt you. Therefore, the bottom line is that you love yourself the most.” At this moment, as Xu Che’s family, Mu Qiqi was very blunt. “Love is a very special thing. Whether or not the other party loves you, you can feel it with just a glance. I don’t know how long Xu Che has endured. In any case, I rarely feel love for Xu Che from you.”

Xiao Yi immediately fell into a deeper panic. “Qiqi, I’ve been hurt for so many years. I really don’t know how to love and I don’t know how to trust a person anymore. However, I know fear. When Xu Che said that he was going to leave, I was very afraid. I’m afraid that he won’t come back. I’m afraid that he would really give up on our relationship.

“You’re right. I’m extremely selfish. I really deserve to die.”

“Can’t you just look into your own heart? I believe that Xu Che left with the same intention.” Mu Qiqi patted her shoulder, to show her encouragement. “Think about it carefully. How far are you willing to go for Xu Che? You have to know that the injury on his arm hasn’t fully healed yet.”

Mu Qiqi deliberately tried to scare Xiao Yi.

After Xiao Yi heard this, her face turned pale.

After returning home, Xiao Yi sat on the steps and moped all day. Sometimes, she cried bitterly, especially when she thought about Xu Che getting injured because of her and subsequently going out on a high-risk mission. Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

Just like that, three days passed. Xu Che finally appeared at the door with his luggage.

Xiao Yi was sitting on the steps when she saw him. She immediately pounced on him.

Xu Che had thought it through while he was carrying out the mission. He had already waited for so long anyway. So what if he continued to wait?

However, Xiao Yi’s actions made him ecstatic.

“You’re finally back, sob sob…”

“I’m fine.” Xu Che quickly held her up. “How many days have you not rested well? Why are you in such a sorry state?”

“After you left, I regretted not telling you some things earlier. I was afraid that after you came back, you would have thought things through and think that I was too selfish and wanted to break up with me. I thought about what I should do every day and couldn’t sleep at all.” Xiao Yi cried.

After hearing Xiao Yi’s aggrieved tone, Xu Che was content.

This person actually had love in her heart. He just didn’t know the depth of it.

“It’s not good for the neighbors to see us like this at the front door. I’m also very tired. Can we go in first?” Xu Che felt a little helpless.

“Wait for me to finish.” Xiao Yi raised her head and looked at Xu Che seriously. “You’re going to be a father. Also, I won’t hide anything from you anymore.”

Xu Che hugged Xiao Yi and held her face in disbelief. “Is what you said true?”
