The waiter’s eyes lit up seeing Shen Hanxiu and enthusiastically reported Su Nian’s location: “There’s only one solitary female at booth 103, sir, you might want to check if it’s the person you’re looking for.”

Following the direction pointed by the waiter, Shen Hanxiu walked over with a asured pace, his every gesture and action drawing the attention of everyone around.

As he reached the vicinity of booth 103, he gently lifted the curtain to find a woman with her head tilted, lying face down on the table.

No wonder she didn’t reply to the ssages; she had fallen asleep.

Shen Hanxiu quietly sat down beside her, picked up the cell phone on her table to check it, and illuminated the screen. There was no alert for any unread ssages, so she must have seen his ssages but simply didn’t want to respond!

Shen Hanxiu set the phone down and glanced at her, wanting to wake her up and ask, but seeing her sleeping so peacefully, he suppressed his anger.

...

She must be exhausted from work to be able to sleep so deeply here.

Taking care of two children while working every day, it’s no wonder she’s lost so much weight over these four years.

Looking at her bare arms, Shen Hanxiu gently draped his coat over her; her eyebrows furrowed slightly but she did not awaken and continued to sleep soundly.

Shen Hanxiu sat silently beside her, content in his heart just watching her even if there was nothing else to be done or anyone to talk to.

Since his return, he had no chance to really look at her. At the company, she either avoided or dodged him, addressing him formally as President Shen, which distanced their relationship. At ho, she never gave him any warmth, and most of the ti, she was trying to send him away, often telling him not to disturb her.

Yet, these were things he just couldn’t do.

She barged into his life when she was five and he was fifteen. Back then, in the countryside, he lived with his grandfather, and as she was from a single-parent family, when her mother was too busy to care for her, she would often be sent over to his grandfather’s house. From then on, she would cling to him like a little tyrant, annoying and bullying him to make her presence felt in his life, but whenever soone spoke ill of him, she would stand up for him. Small as she was, even if she couldn’t win a fight, she’d fiercely defend him with words.

He had always been aloof by nature, even when he was young, and thus had no friends for fifteen years—except her. The more he ignored her, the more brazenly she behaved, and her existence added fun to his otherwise dreary life.

As a child, she resembled Su Zhen a lot now; they looked alike and shared similar personalities, both were domineering and unreasonable, insisting on having it their way. She would deliberately fall in front of him, then cry loudly until he held her, steal veggies from his chopsticks during als, shalessly crawl into his bed to sleep with him, and even bolder—when he was asleep, she would sneakily kiss him on the lips. And she was only five years old at that ti!

They only had each other’s company for a short year before he left the countryside due to family circumstances, never getting the chance to return.

Her na was Zhang Xiaoni at that ti, a rather unsophisticated na, yet it was etched in his heart.

Fortunately, six years ago, he had found her. Unfortunately, she didn’t recognize him.

As Shen Hanxiu was lost in his mories, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket. Not wanting to disturb Su Nian, he quickly got up and went outside to answer.

“President Shen, the eting is about to begin…”

Only then did Shen Hanxiu look at his watch. It was already half-past two.

Hesitating for a mont, Shen Hanxiu replied, “I’m dealing with sothing outside, is Special Assistant Yang there?”

“He hasn’t co back yet.”

Shen Hanxiu considered for a mont then said, “Postpone it for an hour.”

The person on the other end was taken aback. Everyone had arrived, and now a sudden postponent.

But as these were the president’s orders, he had no choice but to comply: “…Alright.”
