Chapter 259: Chapter 188: Turn Her into a Woman Who Belongs Only to Him
“Yanyan, have you ever considered marrying my Uncle Cheng?”
Ziyan was startled by Su Nian’s question, her eyes widened, and her sign language beca clumsy: [What?! You…]
Su Nian looked at her confused state and smiled, “Don’t you ever have such thoughts?”
Ziyan quickly shook her head and then glared at her: [Don’t say things like that again!]
“Yanyan, you’ve never seriously dated anyone. When you et soone you like, pursue him; my Uncle Cheng is a great guy.”
[It’s precisely because he’s good that I can’t spoil him.] With her broken body, did she even deserve such a good man?
Su Nian glared back at her: “You lack confidence again! I’ve told you, it’s not spoiling! You’re young and beautiful, gentle and considerate, marrying him and having a child, what a great deal!”
[Stop talking about this, Nian’nian.] Just thinking about it scares her, even if she were a clean woman, she felt she was not worthy of Su Yuecheng, let alone being a second-hand woman with another man’s child in her belly.
“What if… If my Uncle Cheng shows interest in you, would you agree?”
Ziyan scoffed at herself: [How could that be? He’s so eligible, why wouldn’t he find any other woman? I was just thinking about getting used to this place a bit more and then moving out, it’s inconvenient to live here.]
Su Nian was about to say more when Ziyan’s phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
Taking it out, it turned out to be a video call from Su Yuecheng, perhaps because of what Su Nian had just said, Ziyan blushed the mont she saw his na, Su Nian teased her: [See, caring about you so much.]
Ziyan turned around and answered the call, her expression not as natural as usual.
[What’s up?]
On the other end, Su Yuecheng’s voice was gentle, “Have you finished shopping? Where are you? I’ll co pick you up.”
Normally, Ziyan would have given him the address without a second thought, but after what Su Nian had said, she didn’t know how to face Su Yuecheng: [No… no need, we’re going to shop a bit more, we’ll co back later ourselves.]
“Okay then, just be careful, don’t go to crowded places.”
Ziyan nodded.
After hanging up, Ziyan’s face was still flushed, Su Nian simply smiled faintly, she didn’t tease her for being shy.
After all, she had no experience in romance.
Things of the heart, just let them happen naturally.
In the evening, Ziyan had planned to eat out before going ho, but at five o’clock, Su Yuecheng called to pick them up.
Ziyan was pregnant, she couldn’t just eat anything outside, so he hardly let her eat out, always accompanying her when she went out.
At night at ho, after dinner, the kids played, Su Nian and Ziyan chatted, and Su Yuecheng was busy in the study.
At ten o’clock, Su Nian urged Su Zhen to go to sleep, Su Zhen, holding Su Yan’s hand, said, “Mom, I want to sleep with uncle.”
“No, you will disturb uncle then.”
Su Zhen pouted and coaxed, “I won’t make noise, I fall asleep quickly.”
After saying this, she led Su Yan upstairs. Su Bao, who had been staring at his phone all evening, said, “I should go to bed as well.”
Su Nian looked at her son, feeling that lately the boy had beco unusually quiet, always engrossed in his phone, not knowing what he was busy with.
Ziyan smiled and gestured: [Watching your two treasures, I just want the little one in my belly to be born soon.]
Su Nian smiled, “Once it’s born, then you’ll see the trouble you’re in. Look at this, barely four years old and already not listening to .”
The two won chatted and went upstairs, making sure the children were asleep before each returning to their own rooms.
As soon as Su Nian stepped out of the room, Su Zhen opened her eyes, wriggled into Su Yan’s arms, then wrapped her little hands around his waist saying, “Little uncle, sleeping like this won’t be cold.”
Su Yan stiffened, feeling his ears getting hot, his heartbeat irregular, then he lifted his hand, pushing the quilt towards Su Zhen’s side before placing his hand on hers.
“Little uncle, when can you co back with us?”
Su Yan thought for a mont: “When I can make a lot of money, then I’ll return.” When he could provide a stable future for her, he would return.
Su Zhen puckered her lips confusedly: “Why do you need to make a lot of money? And after earning money there, you can still make it there.”
“You’re still young, there are so things you won’t understand…” He paused and then muttered quietly as if to himself: “And it’s better never to understand.”
It’s better for you to always be a happy girl, unaware of the darkness and pain of the world, he hoped she would never know.
“But if you are here, it will be a long ti before I can see you.”
“…Do you like playing with ?”
“Of course, I do!”
“Why do you like it?”
Su Zhen thought for a while, seemingly unable to find an answer, then said: “Just like… When I’m at ho, I’m always playing by myself, Su Bao doesn’t care about .”
Su Yan wished, too, that he could accompany her every mont, watch his girl grow up into a graceful woman, and then make her solely his woman…
But his current status did not allow him to do so.
Su Yan gently touched her soft hair, “How about we make a promise? Every year on your birthday, I’ll co back to see you.”
He hoped there could be sothing to make her think of him, to keep him in her mory while he was away.
Su Zhen thought it over and then dissatisfiedly said, “But I only have a birthday once in a long, long ti, so we can only play together after a long, long ti…”
She sulked and suddenly lifted her head, her small face very close to him, so close that he could sll the faint milk scent on her…
“Right, little uncle! I’ll attend the sa class as you, and when Uncle Liang takes pictures, we can et.”
“You don’t need to work, you should just focus on your studies.” How could he bear to let her, at such a young age, endure the sa hardships as him?
“I want to earn money too, and I can play with you while earning. I’m not afraid of the hardship. I like taking pictures and having many new clothes to wear!” Su Zhen said, her eyes shining brightly, preventing Su Yan from looking away.
Even though it was sothing she could decide, Su Zhen still hoped to get Su Yan’s approval, so she pouted and acted coquettishly, “Can I, little uncle?”
Perhaps, letting her step into his field was a good option. He could then protect her well. If the path was destined to be tough, then he would help her brave it.
He hugged her into his arms and softly replied, “Okay.”
She smiled happily, Su Yan pulled up the blanket over her head, “Ti to sleep.”
She “Oh” a sound, extended her little hand to cover both their mouths, “No talking now.”
Su Yan curled the corners of his mouth in the darkness, grabbed her little hand in his, embracing her as they fell asleep…
Even in a foreign country, he could feel the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. In China, red lanterns were hung and auspicious couplets were pasted on the streets and alleys.
Wei Lan, due to Yang Zichen not finishing his work and still being on a business trip, had to stay behind to look after Ding Ding and Dang Dang, so she didn’t return to her hotown.
Yang Zichen returned the day before New Year’s Eve.
Wei Lan booked her flight for the night of the 29th; she had packed her bags in advance, so she was not in a hurry.
She even managed to have a dinner made by Yang Zichen before leaving for the airport, and Yang Zichen drove her there.
Once at the departure hall, Yang Zichen also sat in the lounge with her.
Afraid of an awkward atmosphere, Wei Lan started a conversation: “Special Assistant Yang, aren’t you going ho for the New Year?”
“Tomorrow night.”
“Oh right, your ho is closer. Are you taking Ding Ding and Dang Dang with you?”
“No, I’ll co back the sa night.”
Wei Lan was quiet for a mont, inwardly wondering if Special Assistant Yang had strained relations with his family.
“You?” he suddenly asked, “When will you be back?”
“Didn’t book yet, I plan to stay until the day before work starts. I want to spend more ti with my parents, but if they force to go on blind dates as soon as I get there, I’d rather co back here sooner.”
Yang Zichen was silent for a bit, thinking if he went back this year and started dating soone, wouldn’t that be making trouble for himself?
So he said, “Try to co back early. I have to go to Hai City on the 5th, I won’t be back until the 8th at the earliest.”
Knowing she couldn’t rest easy about Ding Ding and Dang Dang at ho, he said, “Then I’ll return on the 5th, that should be around when work resus.”
Yang Zichen “Hmm” a sound, and then the flight boarding announcent sounded in the hall.
“Special Assistant Yang, I should go now.”
“Hmm, call when you arrive.”
“Okay.”
Yang Zichen stood there, watching Wei Lan’s retreating figure, already impatient to have her, he secretly resolved that once the New Year was over, he would make his move…
On New Year’s Eve, a day for family reunions, starting from the morning, the festive mood was so intense it made those away from ho unable to help but feel heartache.
Shen Hanxiu, wearing a long coat, walked to the street, alone, without driving, without any attendants.
Just like an ordinary person, walking unhurriedly on the snow-covered streets.
Even though it was just this, he still attracted the gazes of passers-by, yet the aura he emitted seed even colder than the winter snow, warding off anyone who thought about approaching.
He walked all the way to a plaza and stopped there. In the plaza, laughter filled the air, his gaze fixed on a family of four.
Similar to his situation, a son and a daughter.
The boy mischievously threw a snowball at the woman’s head. The man scolded his son a few tis before stepping forward to help the woman clean the snow from her hair, the woman’s face always bearing a happy smile…
When could such ordinary happiness be his?
For so long, he could hardly bear it anymore, he truly missed her so much, how could she be so heartless?
He felt the laughter in the plaza slowly becoming grating, Shen Hanxiu irritably kicked the snow on the ground, then turned and walked back quickly, taking out his phone to dial a number, and crisply instructed, “Book a flight to the United Kingdom, the fastest one.”
The flight departed at ten, considering the ti difference, it would be around noon in the UK. It wasn’t too late; he could still make it to their city for the New Year.
Even if they couldn’t et with smiles, being closer would make it less unbearable…
