Chapter 252: Chapter 182 Do you know what heartache feels like?_2
Winter’s darkness arrives early, the sky becos almost completely dark by six o’clock, and under the streetlight one can still see the drifting snowflakes flying about.
I guess as soon as I get out of the car, I’ll be stared at like a monkey in the plaza, right?
The mont I open the car door, Su Nian feels timid, it’s only after Su Zhen arrives to fetch her that she crawls out, and sure enough, heads start turning.
Walking in the snow in a sumr wedding dress during the deep winter is also a breathtaking sight!
“Where are you, baby?” Your mom is about to freeze into a snowman.
Su Zhen pulls Su Nian quickly towards the restaurant on the edge of the plaza, while Su Bao silently follows behind.
He doesn’t necessarily insist that Mom choose Uncle Liang, today is just the day for Mom to make her choice, and he would not mind whoever she chooses, but if Shen Hanxiu is out, he won’t hesitate to strongly recomnd Uncle Liang.
All the way, Su Nian dares not look around, because people around her already treat her like a spectacle; she doesn’t want to stress herself out, so she pretends to be oblivious.
Stepping into a restaurant, even though it’s air-conditioned inside, Su Nian still shivers, then turns her head to look around the restaurant that’s chillingly empty. Not a single person!
Is this the legendary closed-off space?!
Not giving Su Nian ti to think, Su Zhen drags her upstairs. The heating is stronger here, and Su Nian finally feels a bit warr, then she notices the corridor is decorated exquisitely with bright colored flowers all along the way, just like the vibrant spring scenes only found in fairy tales, which are a delight for soone like Su Nian who loves fairy tales.
The surprises her daughter ntioned make her very content.
Her daughter stands by a door holding her hand but doesn’t rush to open it. Instead, she lifts her head, her little face is especially cute with its reddish hue: “Mom…”
Su Nian points to a door nearby: “Is the surprise inside?”
After a bit of a run, Su Zhen breathes a sigh of relief and says, “Yes, Mom, you have to utilize your feminine charm when you’re inside…”
Su Nian still puzzled, Su Zhen opens the door.
Curious, Su Nian walks in and before she can marvel at the delicate decor inside the room, a gust of wind blows, followed by a “bang”, and then…
She’s locked in?
She turns the doorknob, confirming her suspicion. From outside, she then hears Su Zhen’s voice, “Go Mom! Be sure to bring back a Dad!”
As the sound of footsteps fade away, it becos silent outside the door.
Subconsciously, Su Nian feels a chill down her spine; it seems her daughter has implied there’s soone else in this room!
Walking to the center of the room, she’s too nervous to appreciate the dream-like setting, she wonders if her daughter could just have found so random matchmaker suitor and then sold her off?
She walks into the dining area where the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a charming street view, and there are candles lit on the table. The flickering dim candlelight casts an extraordinarily romantic atmosphere.
However, Su Nian isn’t feeling romantic but rather fearful.
Taking a few steps and looking around, she suddenly feels a warmth on her shoulder, she turns her head in panic and sees a familiar face, bringing her an imdiate sense of comfort.
“The wedding dress looks even prettier on you,” he begins generously with complints.
Su Nian’s face turns red, then puts on an act of estrangent and takes off the coat from her shoulders to give it back to him.
Shen Hanxiu glances at it, doesn’t reach out to take it, but instead takes a step forward. As Su Nian starts to step back, an arm wraps around her waist and pulls her forward, pressing a warm body against hers.
“Shen Hanxiu!”
He lifts the hair beside her ear, leaning in to inhale lightly, his nose grazing her earlobe, creating an electrifying sensation…
Su Nian turns her head away, feeling flustered. Just monts ago her trembling body was cold, but now it feels scorching.
“Still so sensitive.”
Su Nian tries to push him away, but he relaxes his grip, half-pushing and half-pulling her onto a chair by the dining table. She springs up like a jack-in-the-box and takes a deep breath, saying, “There are so things… I want to make clear to you.”
Shen Hanxiu smiles, a trace of self-mockery in his laughter, “Wanting to say again that you want to have nothing to do with and that I shouldn’t bother you?”
He doesn’t wait for Su Nian to respond, continuing, “But you should hear out first.”
Su Nian lifts her head to look at him.
“Do you rember why we got married?”
Su Nian averts her gaze, “I don’t rember.”
Shen Hanxiu doesn’t get angry, simply “reminding” her, “We married by agreent, unlike most people, without love at that ti.”
Su Nian pretends to be indifferent, her expression becoming a bit impatient.
“But how did you fall in love with ?”
Hearing this, Su Nian’s anger rises, her eyes lifting to look at him with a mocking smile, “I was young and naive back then. President Shen, don’t use that to make fun of .”
Shen Hanxiu ignores her sarcasm, continuing with what he was saying, “Do you want to know when I fell in love with you?”
“All these things are aningless now, it’s better to listen to instead.”
“There are a lot of things you neither know nor ask about. Su Nian, do you have no heart?”
“Heart?” Su Nian laughs with tears, “I gave it to you, and when it was shattered to the point where it can no longer be put back together, you co asking if I have a heart, isn’t that laughable?”
“Do you even know what heartache is?”
Shen Hanxiu grips her shoulder a bit forcefully, his expression remains indifferent, his deep voice stating, “The doctor says your depression worsened, the child’s whereabouts are unknown. Did you consider during that ti? Do you think I was happy losing our child? When you brandished the shards, covered in blood, forcing into a divorce, did you think I was comfortable?”
“Four years you disappeared without a trace, do you think those four years were easy for ? Do you understand what it feels like to be distrusted?!”
His words pierced her heart, shaking her resolve, the coldness inside her starting to unravel, she covers her ears shouting at him, “Stop talking!”
