Chapter 111: Chapter 90 Do you know best if I am a man?_2
After applying the bandage to his finger, Su Zhen also patched up other scrapes on Haohao’s hand with adhesive bandages.
The shapes of the bandages were mostly cute heart shapes, all personally chosen by Su Zhen.
Haohao’s tears also stopped. The emotions among little children are always pure and simple. Su Zhen initially kept saying how much she disliked Haohao.
Although she was sowhat assertive, she was still kind-hearted and perhaps felt pity for Haohao, even proactively sharing her favorite grilled at with him: “Eat more, so no one can bully you in the future.”
With Haohao joining in, the three children had even more fun. After dinner, as the park gradually darkened, there were many people cooling off in the evening. The three children, excited by the bustling atmosphere, played even more enthusiastically, while Su Nian joined Shen Hanxiu in packing up the picnic gear.
“You just watch the kids, I’ll handle these.”
He couldn’t bear to let her do the physical work.
Su Nian didn’t say anything and turned around to pack up the things on the picnic blanket, loaded them into the car while Shen Hanxiu was still working on the grill.
Su Nian glanced at the children not far away, hesitated about a decision she had been putting off all day, and perhaps it was ti to make it.
She walked up behind Shen Hanxiu, who turned to look at her, seeing her expression, he knew she had sothing to say, and it was not what he would want to hear.
In the night breeze, her voice softly carried, not even landing on him but bypassing him and settling on the lake behind, she said, “From now on… don’t do these things anymore, thank you for keeping Su Zhen company during this ti.”
Shen Hanxiu stopped his movents, his black hair gently fluttering in the night wind, his sharp eyes fixed on her, listening to her continue: “Starting tomorrow, I hope we can just be boss and subordinate. At work, I can follow your arrangents, but after hours, I hope you won’t disrupt my personal life or get close to the two kids.”
Shen Hanxiu was silent for a mont, she finally set her gaze on his face, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, Shen Hanxiu spoke indifferently, “Then let ask you one question.”
“Go ahead.”
“Who is the biological father of the child?” If he was the child’s biological father, she could stop them from acknowledging him; now, she won’t even let him see them, isn’t that too selfish?
Su Nian clenched her teeth, averted her eyes, and responded, “It’s not you.”
“Don’t let find out you’re lying.”
Su Nian remained silent. In this situation, it was completely possible for him to secretly conduct a paternity test with the child. What Su Nian feared the most was him finding out the truth, knowing that Su Zhen and Su Bao were his flesh and blood, and forcibly taking the kids away from her.
So even though she knew Su Zhen was very reliant on him, she cruelly did not want them to et.
Shen Hanxiu bowed his head and continued packing, then to the pensive Su Nian, he said, “Bring the children here, I’ll drive you back.”
Su Nian stood still and said, “You haven’t agreed to my request yet.”
“What? Not to interfere in your private life?”
“Yes.”
Shen Hanxiu readily agreed, “Alright.”
He rembered her words just now, at work, to listen to his arrangents…
He had broken his word too many tis before; hearing how readily Shen Hanxiu agreed, Su Nian felt it was perfunctory, so she specifically said, “Shen Hanxiu, you said you’re still a man, then rember your own promise.”
“I know whether I am a man or not best.”
A promise? Of course, he rembered, he wanted to spend his life with a woman who used to be called Zhang Xiaoni and has now grown up to be Su Nian…
Su Nian turned and walked away, intending to first take Haohao ho, but Haohao spoke first: “Auntie, can I co and play at your house for a while?”
Su Nian thought about that empty, spacious house, it was luxurious but so cold that even she, an adult, couldn’t stand it, let alone a three-year-old child.
She held his hand and nodded: “Okay, let’s go, get in the car.”
Although Su Zhen hadn’t fully accepted Haohao, an afternoon of interaction had greatly eased the relationship between the children, at least Su Zhen didn’t voice any opposition when she heard Haohao was going to her house.
Haohao played at Su Nian’s ho until after nine o’clock. Su Nian saw it was getting late, unsure whether to let Haohao stay or send him back.
Keeping him worried her that his parents would be looking for him, not keeping him worried her about sending him back to an empty ho.
She thought for a while and then asked Li Yihao, “Haohao, it’s getting late, would this uncle take you ho?”
Haohao put down the building blocks in his hand and looked at Su Nian, saying, “Auntie… can I stay over at your place tonight?”
“Sure, but won’t your mom worry?”
“My mom doesn’t like , I angered her today.”
What grave mistake could a three-year-old make? Yet, Xue Qi had let her own child reach this state.
If Haohao were soone else’s child, Su Nian might have gone to talk to his parents already, but since he was Xue Qi and Li Zisheng’s son, it might be better not to get involved in their affairs.
Before Su Nian could speak, Su Zhen, while assembling building blocks, said, “His mom is very fierce, he’ll be bullied if he goes back.”
Su Nian hesitated for a mont and then said, “Then call Mom, otherwise, she’ll worry.”
But Haohao shook his head, his small hand clutching the building blocks, looking sowhat downhearted, “Mom won’t worry… she doesn’t like .”
Hearing a child say this, Su Nian truly felt a deep bitterness in her heart.
Xue Qi was stubborn and extre in her actions, trying to reason with her was purely a waste of breath.
“It’s ti for sleeping now.”
“No, Mom, we’re not going to school, I still want to set up the little house!”
Su Nian looked at Shen Hanxiu who was sitting nearby, watching her silently without speaking, thinking the kids deserved to relax during the holiday, and decided to go upstairs to call Li Zisheng to talk about Haohao.
“You play below, Mom is going upstairs for a bit, and Zhenzhen, don’t bully your brother.”
Su Zhen pouted her mouth, clutching a few building blocks and buried herself into Shen Hanxiu’s arms: “Uncle Shen, look, Mom doesn’t like , I’m so pitiful.”
Hearing Su Zhen’s slander, Su Nian smiled helplessly, turned around, walked to the bedroom, and dialed Li Zisheng’s number…
