After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 305 I Have an Idea

Qin Yu ordered an Americano, while I ordered a hot milk.

He lowered his head, gently stirring his coffee with a small spoon; the swirling coffee mirrored his complex thoughts. After a long silence, he suddenly spoke, his voice low and heavy: "Actually, there's something I've never told you."

I was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked up at him, a hint of doubt rising in my mind: "What is it?"

He took a deep breath, as if gathering the courage to confront a past he didn't want to mention. His tone became somewhat heavy, as if his spine had been bent by the weight of time: "I told you before, my family was destroyed by the Jin family."

I nodded slightly, my doubts growing stronger. I didn't understand why he suddenly brought up this heavy topic at this moment: "I remember you said that."

He laughed self-deprecatingly, a laugh tinged with bitterness and loneliness, as if mocking his past naiveté and stubbornness.

A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Actually, I hid some things back then. Although my father was badly harmed by the Jin family, he still left me some resources. My achievements today are largely due to these resources that allowed me to make a comeback."

I stared at him, my heart filled with a complex mix of emotions, a tangled mess that defied description. I asked softly, "Why did you hide all this?"

He lowered his head, his voice tinged with apology and self-reproach: "Actually, I did take advantage of you back then."

I remained silent for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless at his stubbornness. I said softly, "Actually, you really don't have to do this."

He looked up and said, "Haha, here, have some milk."

"It's not your fault. Everyone has their own past, and it's normal for them not to want to talk about certain things. I completely understand."

He breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face. "Thank you, really."

Although the meeting did not achieve the desired results, being able to have such a frank exchange with Qin Yu and resolve the knots in each other's hearts was an unexpected and precious gain.

"What are your plans for the future?" I asked softly, my eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

He leaned back in his chair, relaxed yet confident, his tone firm and powerful: "Keep trying. As long as you don't give up, there will always be opportunities."

After returning home, Jiang Yichen put the things he bought in the living room and then sat on the sofa to wait for me to come back. Not long after, the door opened, and I dragged my slightly tired body in.

I saw Jiang Yichen sitting on the sofa, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why are you home? Didn't you say you were going to work overtime?"

Jiang Yichen stood up, walked to her side, and said gently, "You've finished dealing with things, so you came back early. How was your day? Did the meeting go well?"

I nodded, my tone relaxed: "Not bad, the cooperation went very smoothly."

Jiang Yichen looked at my slightly tired face and felt a pang of heartache. He reached out and took the bag from my hand, saying softly, "Go change your clothes first. I bought you some new clothes."

I immediately noticed the shopping bags piled on the sofa, and a look of surprise flashed in my eyes: "Why did you buy so many?"

Jiang Yichen's tone was somewhat indulgent: "Seeing that you've been quite busy lately, I thought I'd prepare a few more sets for you. Try them on and see if they fit."

I immediately walked to the sofa, picked up a piece of clothing, looked at it, and a hint of emotion flashed in my eyes: "Thank you."

He shook his head and said gently, "Don't say that, just go and try it."

He was sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand. Hearing footsteps, he looked up. I stood in front of him, a smile on my face, and softly asked, "How is it? Is it good?"

He put down his book, his gaze lingering on me for a few seconds, his eyes full of tenderness. A slight smile played on his lips, and his voice was deep and gentle: "It looks great, it suits you perfectly."

I looked down at my skirt, then looked up at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "Really? I was worried it might look too formal."

He shook his head, his tone serious: "No, it's just right. You look good in anything, but this one is especially suitable for your current state."

I sat down next to him, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "You're getting more and more thoughtful these days."

He gently put his arm around my shoulder, his voice filled with affection: "As long as you're happy. I just want you to be comfortable and not overwork yourself."

His hand gently stroked my hair, the gentleness of which made me feel a little dazed.

“Actually…” I hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up, “Sometimes I worry that I might not be the same as before.”

He looked down at me and asked, "Why do you think that?"

I said with a hint of helplessness, "Look, my belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't move around as easily as before. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I feel a little unfamiliar."

He gently squeezed my hand, his tone firm: "In my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful. No matter how you change, you will always be the most important person to me." I smiled, walked over and sat down next to him, my voice tinged with emotion: "Actually, you don't need to go to so much trouble. I can take care of myself."

"Okay, I'll make sure to get some rest."

"But today really went smoothly." I turned my head and said to Jiang Yichen sitting next to me, my tone filled with excitement. "Although President Zhang didn't agree on the spot, his attitude has clearly softened. And that mine owner from Southeast Asia actually gave me his business card."

Jiang Yichen was fiddling with his phone when he heard this. He looked up with a faint smile in his eyes and said, "Yes, you did very well." His voice was deep and gentle, like a glass of mellow red wine, making people unconsciously relax.

I took a sip of milk, the warm sensation spreading from my throat to my heart. The fatigue of the day seemed to lessen in that moment, and even the unresolved collaborations seemed less important. Just as I was about to say something more, Jiang Yichen suddenly stood up and gently ruffled my hair: "Get some rest, you have things to do tomorrow."

Over the next few days, he made a special adjustment to his work schedule to spend as much time as possible with me. He also hired a professional prenatal care specialist to come to our home every day for checkups to ensure the health of both me and the baby.

Although I kept saying that it didn't need to go through all that trouble, having this prenatal care specialist really made things much more comfortable.

A few days later, my condition gradually stabilized, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the sofa, watching me rest against the wall, his eyes full of tenderness.

I suddenly looked up at him, a smile in my eyes: "Actually, I have an idea."
