For someone who rarely showed himself to his own wife, she didn't think that he would still have feelings for her. Lin Qianrou thought that his absence was because he was starting to regret marrying her instead of going after Meng Yanran, that he'd realized that he didn't want her anymore. 

"Why ask the obvious, Qian?" It was Xu Wenyang's turn to be confused by his wife's words. Where was she getting at? "Of course I love you. If I just wanted to avoid being alone, any woman would have been enough. Don't you understand? I've never cheated on you, nor ever looked at another woman with interest since I married you." He explained to her, hoping she would understand.

No matter how appetizing the dishes were, Xu Wenyang didn't have the heart to eat anything until he was sure that Qian was coming back home with him. He didn't think he would be able to live in that huge mansion alone, knowing that Qian wouldn't be there with him. 

For the past weeks, she'd prove to him that he was nothing without her. The time they spent apart, without each other, made him realize how much he missed her, how much he needed her. 

And now that he knew that she was pregnant with his child, it's a whole new reason why they shouldn't get divorced and work together to fix their problem. Markets and trades required his attention. Wasn't this why he was making good money? He didn't earn millions just by lying around, waiting for luck to come after him. 

However, he also knew now that Qian needed him too. He couldn't possibly stay unavailable most of the time, now that he knew they were expecting. The emotional turmoil that she's in now was because of him. Three years of marriage and he'd been successful in the business industry, but yet, he was losing his wife. That can't be!

The stakes were high here. He couldn't just allow his wife to leave him, taking their child with her. 

"If you really want this marriage to work out, then you have to convince me that you can be a good husband and father to us. Love won't be enough, Wen. We need more than that for this to work and you know it. I have conditions." Lin Qianrou said. 

She didn't forget He Lianchen's opinion over the matter. Divorce for a woman like her could put her and her child in an undesirable position within society. People will call it her failure, no matter if it was her fault or not. 

"I'm listening," Xu Wenyang replied with his full attention centered on his wife. It was now or never. He would do whatever he needed to do to convince her to forget about divorcing him and instead, consider coming home with him. He would do his best to become a better husband this time. 

Xu Wenyang winced on that. Guilty as charged. 

It made sense to him now why Tang Moyu said that he had to hire a capable personnel to do the job for him. It made sense to him now why she told him that the reason she wasn't killing herself at work was knowing that someone's waiting for her at home. Xu Wenyang just needed to find the right people to handle certain things at work, so that he could balance his focus on work and his marriage with Lin Qianrou. 

"Consider it done. Is there anything else my wife needs from me?" 

Lin Qianrou shook her head, and for the first time since she left Xu Wenyang, she smiled genuinely. This was the husband she'd been missing all this time. 

"I just want my husband's love and attention all to myself." She paused as she remembered Li Meili's words, "and also if you don't mind, can you please stop the excessive gifts? It's ridiculous and pointless, to be honest. I only wanted you by my side, Wen. I know you have obligations to the company, but I also need you as your wife." 

For Lin Qianrou, it felt good expressing what she'd been holding in for the past months. She was really thankful that she listened to Tang Moyu's advice to have a good talk with her husband before deciding if she really wanted to divorce him. 

Xu Wenyang took her hand, placed a kiss on her palm before placing it on his cheek. 

"I'll do my best, Qian. Thank you for giving me another chance to prove myself to you." 

Lin Qianrou blushed and chewed her lower lip. "As long as you don't ignore us again." 

After that, the couple started their meal, and Xu Wenyang was suddenly aware of his hunger, as his appetite returned after seeing his wife happy and content with her meal. He joined her for lunch and tried to catch up with what she had done since she moved in with Li Meili and how she ended up being acquainted with Tang Moyu. 

"Sister Moyu is really kind. I don't get why some people are badmouthing her. Even her twins are so adorable, I couldn't resist their charm!" Lin Qianrou hooked her arm with his as they made their way to the parking lot where she left her car. 

Xu Wenyang blinked at that information. He was aware of the rumors about the empress getting pregnant, but he wasn't aware that she gave birth to a pair of twins. 

"I'm visiting them again this weekend. Would you like to come with me?" Qian asked. 

Of course, he wouldn't waste such an opportunity to spend more time with her. Little did he know that when the day came and they visited Tang Moyu's place, Xu Wenyang wouldn't be prepared to meet someone familiar.
