Chapter 207: Chapter 154: I’m Here Even if the Sky Collapses!_2
Seeing her coy and hesitant manner, the mirth in his eyes deepened as he sat up, reached out, and drew her into his embrace, pressing her for an answer, “Hmm?”
Su Nian dodged his breath, stumbling over her words, “Did you… go outside the district?”
Shen Hanxiu tightened his arm around her and gently leaned his head on her shoulder, “If I hadn’t gone, do you really think you could be standing here just fine?”
“About that…” Su Nian had thought a lot about what to say but now didn’t know how to voice her question.
Understanding her, Shen Hanxiu guessed what she wanted to ask and double spoke with a hint of ambiguity, “It was who saved you.”
Hearing this, Su Nian imdiately let out a sigh of relief, grateful it wasn’t so strange man…
“You seem quite pleased with the outco, don’t you?”
“What?” Realizing her thoughts might seem shalessly complacent to him, Su Nian hurriedly tried to break free from his grasp, standing up straight, “Just… consider it repaying you for the favor with Ziyan’s divorce! Now we’re even!”
Shen Hanxiu’s lips curled into a light laugh, incomprehensible to Su Nian, who fell silent before asking, “How did you end up there?”
Shen Hanxiu threw the question back at her, “Why did you go there?”
“I…” Su Nian thought to herself, he must be about to scold her again for recklessly ddling without thinking.
“You rushed into danger without a second thought for soone else’s son, do you think she’ll thank you for it?”
Su Nian looked down silently, like a child who had done sothing wrong, realizing he knew everything.
But at that ti, she hadn’t thought about much else, only about getting the money to rescue Haohao, never expecting Xue Qi would kidnap her own son as bait.
“I… I called Li Zisheng first, but when the call didn’t go through, I went…” Su Nian made her final defense for her lack of judgnt.
“Why didn’t you tell if you were going?” If it weren’t for Yang Zijing’s ssage, what might have happened to her? Could she still be standing here just fine?
Su Nian felt aggrieved, “I wanted to get your opinion… but I went ahead when I saw you were about to have surgery.”
Hearing her say this, Shen Hanxiu’s heart softened instantly, reaching out to pull her back into his embrace, “Don’t be so thoughtless next ti.”
Su Nian struggled a bit but then let herself lean against him, “Is Haohao okay? Was Xue Qi caught?”
“Su Nian, it was Haohao’s mother who landed your daughter and husband in the hospital.”
“But Haohao isn’t to bla; the child is rather pitiful…”
“That’s his parents’ matter, not yours to worry about!”
“Oh right, Old Shen, my great aunt passed away…”
“What did you call ?” Shen Hanxiu smiled faintly; the collision was quite worth it. It seed Su Nian no longer resented him, letting his forr pet na slip out so easily.
Su Nian was taken aback, suddenly realizing her lapse; she was almost out of her senses! She hurriedly stood up, face flushed with embarrassnt.
Shen Hanxiu watched her with amusent, offering comforting words, “Go to sleep; I’ll be here even if the sky collapsed.”
Su Nian stood there dazed for a mont, unable to deny that his presence indeed brought her comfort, to the point that she nearly indulged in her feelings and forgot herself.
The following day, the major headlines were all about the bust of a major drug den. Xue Qi’s na was among them, with a separate report detailing her information in connection with the car accident days earlier.
The news also ntioned that Haohao had been taken away by his father, and as for Xue Qi’s sentencing – intentional homicide, even though it was attempted – if it wasn’t a death sentence, it would be life imprisonnt, or at least several decades…
Just a pity for the young child, deprived of both mother and father, what would beco of his future?
Su Zhen’s injuries were the most serious, but she only stayed in the hospital for two weeks. Shen Hanxiu hired high-end therapists and rehabilitation specialists to co ho, and then moved Su Zhen out of the hospital.
On the day of discharge, it was also the day Su Yuecheng took Su Yan and Ziyan to depart. Originally they planned to leave earlier, but Su Yan decided to wait until Su Zhen was discharged.
Upon hearing her little uncle was leaving, Su Zhen beca emotionally downcast. At the airport, she lay on Shen Hanxiu’s shoulder, listlessly quiet, yet her gaze secretly stole glances at Su Yan, her eyes brimming with tears.
Su Yan also wanted to stay and watch Su Zhen grow up but reality didn’t permit it. For now, he could only rely on himself, waiting until he was strong enough to stay by her side for longer.
“Zhenzhen, I’ll co back to see you very soon, don’t cry.”
Su Zhen still had a cast on her foot and couldn’t get down, as Shen Hanxiu crouched holding her so she could see eye to eye with Su Yan, “Little uncle, can you not leave?”
Su Nian patted her head, “Your little uncle is going to study. Once you’re good at school, you can attend the sa school as him.”
Su Zhen sulkily pursed her lips, “But I’m not smart enough…”
“If you can’t do your howork, just call .”
Su Zhen didn’t say anything, still dissatisfied with the arrangent.
“Carey, it’s ti,” Su Yuecheng reminded them.
Su Zhen almost burst into tears, as Su Yan took a few steps then turned back for one more look, no matter how reluctant, it couldn’t change the fact that he had to leave.
“Yanyan, take good care of yourself over there, and if there’s any trouble, just tell Uncle Cheng. You don’t need to worry about us here, just focus on having the baby. We’ll be ready to be godparents by then,” Su Nian’s eyes were also moist.
Jin Qiu also said, “Right, if you et a good man there, don’t hesitate to marry him. Show Tang Sheng your happiness, and let the scum regret it!”
Ziyan smiled and then led Su Yan to follow Su Yuecheng’s departure.
Once their figures disappeared from view, Jin Qiu chuckled, “Nian’nian, does your uncle have a partner? I think he and Ziyan would be a good match.”
“Ha-ha, I think so too. They should cultivate their relationship in the United Kingdom; maybe it’ll work out.”
Su Nian and Jin Qiu walked side by side, chatting and laughing. Shen Hanxiu freed one hand to pull Su Nian over, “Su Luchi, the way ho isn’t that way.”
Su Nian’s footing wobbled as she was pulled, stumbling for several steps before regaining balance, casting a glare at Shen Hanxiu, then smiling as she bid farewell to Jin Qiu.
They got into Shen Hanxiu’s car and returned to their ho.
