My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Can’t Let Go and Can’t Love

Su Nian gave him an annoyed glance before heading straight downstairs.

Too lazy to fuss over him late at night, she just boiled a pot of water and cooked some noodles.

Su Nian knew her cooking skills were mediocre and thought he would seize the chance to mock her, but he quietly ate the noodles, finishing a large bowl cleanly.

After finishing, he pushed the bowl towards her to clean up, even adding, “You’ve become much more virtuous than before.”

Su Nian didn’t feel like talking to him and picked up the bowl to clean it in the kitchen.

After she finished washing, he was still leaning against the kitchen.

“Aren’t you leaving if you’re not hungry?”

Shen Hanxiu looked at her deeply: “My stomach is full, but there’s something else that isn’t.”

Su Nian was no naive young girl; she clearly understood the hidden meaning in his words.

Watching her look like an aggrieved little wife, Shen Hanxiu couldn’t help but chuckle, teasing her further might just really make her angry.

He touched her head saying, “Get some rest early.”

Su Nian swatted his hand away and soon heard the sound of the door closing.

Only then did she turn back to see that he had left as he wished, but the room felt terribly cold and empty, causing her to shiver and she finally turned off the living room light and headed upstairs.

Having seen through him already, why couldn’t she let go?

Was it because he hadn’t admitted to those schemes and instead entangled with her as if nothing happened, that she lost her sense?

Su Nian, have you forgotten what happened to your first child? Wake up!

Laying in bed for a long time, she couldn’t feel any sleepiness.

Touching her lips, she could still recall his force and stared at the empty space next to her, remembering the warmth of him pulling her into sleep.

If only none of that had happened, how wonderful would it have been?

Eventually, she couldn’t resist getting up and walking to the window, lifting the curtain to secretly watch his room across.

It was pitch black; it turned out she was the only one with insomnia.

The longer Su Nian associated with Shen Hanxiu, the more chaotic her heart became, and the pressures of work and life left her gasping for air.

The flower deliveries continued daily, but Su Nian couldn’t bring herself to care who sent them.

Now, she just wanted to keep her distance from Shen Hanxiu, not wanting further entanglements, lest her heart sink deeper and ultimately unable to let go or love freely.

“Yi Zhou, could you help me find a house when you have time? Something similar to before will do. I think… I want to move out.”

Liang Yizhou was stunned, not asking her the reason, and just nodded gently: “Okay.”

Although he didn’t know what happened between her and Shen Hanxiu, he always stood by Su Nian’s side and respected her decision.

Shen Hanxiu was unaware of Su Nian’s plan and even cleared his schedule specially to spend time with the children on Saturday, with Wei Lan also visiting their home.

Seeing the usually aloof Boss so gentle and patient with the children, Wei Lan felt pity and commented how great it would be if President Shen didn’t marry Su Yalan.

In the evening, Shen Hanxiu drove to pick them up, and Su Nian didn’t forget that tonight, they were going to the Su Family for Grandfather’s seventieth birthday celebration.

“Mom, Uncle Shen is going to buy us pretty clothes, hurry up,” Su Zhen said while holding onto Shen Hanxiu with one hand and pulling Su Nian, who was holding Su Bao, with the other.

Arriving at the styling parlor, knowing everything inside was expensive, Su Nian told Su Zhen, “Zhenzhen, mom will take you to buy a princess dress another day, today we need to hurry to deliver a cake to great-grandfather.”

Yet Su Zhen clung to Shen Hanxiu, refusing to let go: “Uncle Shen said we need to wear pretty dresses to deliver the cake to great-grandfather, mom, come and pick quickly.”

Su Zhen was the type who wouldn’t relent if things didn’t go her way, and her own mother Su Nian knew this all too well, so she just followed with Su Bao.

The dress Shen Hanxiu picked was a black fitted mini-dress, very fitting, and indeed beautiful, but it was too expensive, and Su Nian didn’t want to spend his money.

Su Zhen’s dress was a smaller version of Su Nian’s, and Su Bao also changed into a dapper little suit, looking every bit the young gentleman.

Looking at Shen Hanxiu, who looked good in any attire beside her, Su Nian thought since Shen Hanxiu had money to burn, she might as well accept it with peace of mind.

As they left the styling place, Su Guotian called to hurry her once again and instructed her to be careful on the road.

Everything seemed normal, in front of family ties, Su Nian let go of her suspicions, naively thinking that this was just a simple birthday celebration…
