The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 431: I really shouldn’t have agreed to you so early

"Because I like using my hands to pick things up."

Xu Yisen glanced helplessly at Qin Muni and reminded her, "Remember to use a broom to sweep up the glass shards next time."

"Oh."

Xu Yisen dipped a cotton swab in alcohol and carefully applied it around the wound.

Then he swapped for a new cotton swab, gently applying alcohol directly onto the wound.

The sudden pain made Qin Muni suck in a breath, and seeing this, Xu Yisen comforted her softly, "Hold on, it won’t hurt soon."

"Mhm."

The pain from the alcohol on the wound was short-lived, and after a while, the pain in Qin Muni’s palm subsided. She looked down at Xu Yisen, who was diligently applying ointment for her.

Suddenly, she asked, "Yisen, why did you suddenly change your mind back then?"

Qin Muni carefully recalled their journey from meeting each other, to getting married, then divorced, to Xu Yisen changing his mind and pursuing her again, and to their rekindled relationship.

It was a long twelve-year journey. She once rejoiced at encountering Xu Yisen, yet also regretted her blindly foolish love for him.

After their divorce, Xu Yisen’s attitude towards her seemed better than ever before, even though he had professed his love for her countless times. Qin Muni couldn’t understand why she had chased him for years to no avail, yet only a few months after their divorce, he had a change of heart.

Qin Muni’s question came somewhat abruptly, and Xu Yisen instinctively looked up, meeting her clear, water-like eyes filled with simple curiosity.

Xu Yisen lowered his head again, his thin lips unconsciously curving into a handsome smile, "I’m afraid if I tell the truth, you’ll get angry."

Qin Muni raised an eyebrow, growing even more curious, "Tell me."

"Right after the divorce, my family was nagging me about you every day, then they started pushing me to find a wife. I always hated trouble, and finding a wife meant getting to know someone new, dating, getting engaged, and getting married, which was really troublesome."

Okay, this answer indeed made her feel a mix of emotions. She continued to ask, "So you came back to find me?"

"That wasn’t the only reason. The important thing was that we had known each other for eleven years. I had long been used to having you in my life, so after the divorce, not seeing you for a long time made me feel uneasy. I really wanted to see you."

"Afraid of trouble and used to having your little tail with you, so you came back to find me?"

"The most important thing is that I later realized that I really like you." Xu Yisen looked up again, deep eyes shimmering with a light smile.

Qin Muni retracted her bandaged hand, pouting slightly and saying with a hint of regret, "I blame myself for not being steadfast. I really shouldn’t have agreed to you so easily back then."

Xu Yisen couldn’t help but chuckle, habitually reaching out to pat Qin Muni’s head.

"Oh, right, we have lunch plans tomorrow with Ziyuan and his fiancée. Want to come along?"

Almost without thinking, she shook her head, "I already have plans for tomorrow noon, maybe next time."

Xu Yisen nodded, "Then go wash up and have breakfast."

"Mhm." Qin Muni nodded and got up, walking lightly towards the stairs.

As she passed by Xu Yisen, the smile on her face gradually faded. Her bare face showed no expression, as if all her previous good mood was merely a guise to placate Xu Yisen.

Qin Muni went back to her room to wash up, had breakfast downstairs, and then Xu Yisen left for work at the company.

After he left, Qin Muni paced to the study, walked over to the desk, and sat down.
