My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 119 - 95: Love of Loyalty, Till Death Do Us Part
Chapter 119: Chapter 95: Love of Loyalty, Till Death Do Us Part
Mai City Airport, a man clad in a black suit with an extraordinary presence walked out from inside the airport and directly into a stretch limo parked at the entrance.
“President Shen, heading to the company?”
“Wait a moment.” Shen Hanxiu took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
Even without speakerphone, one could faintly hear the voice of a young girl on the other end: “Uncle Shen! You haven’t called me for so long, I thought you didn’t want me anymore!” The excitement caused Su Zhen’s volume to rise.
Hearing Su Zhen’s voice, Shen Hanxiu’s gloomy mood improved slightly, his face softened, and his voice became even more tender: “If you miss Uncle Shen, why didn’t you call me?”
“Mom said you have work and told me not to disturb you.”
This Su Nian, actually teaching the child this way, it was one thing for her to distance herself, but to even teach Su Zhen to not call him.
“Where is Mom now?”
“Mom went to sell flowers, and Uncle Shen, I’ll tell you, I became a model!”
Shen Hanxiu thought for a moment, directed the driver to the location of Purple Flower Shop, and then continued chatting with Su Zhen.
Su Zhen boasted about herself again, and when hanging up said, “Uncle, I’m going to be busy now, I’ll play with you when I’m free.”
The car smoothly parked in front of the flower shop, Shen Hanxiu gave a few instructions to the driver, then got out of the car.
Through the transparent glass door of the flower shop, he saw Su Nian wearing a white bodycon dress, standing next to a couple with her back to him, seemingly explaining about flowers.
Su Nian did not notice the gaze from outside at all, nor did she pay attention even when the shop’s attendants collectively greeted “Welcome” at the door.
It was Wei Lan who, surprised, pointed behind her in a soft voice: “President Shen!”
Turned her head, Su Nian saw the man whose very entrance drew numerous gazes. He was still impeccably dressed in a formal suit, standing upright with his chin slightly raised, a powerful aura instantly washing over everyone, causing a moment of foolish mesmerization, including Su Nian.
By the time Su Nian regained her composure, he was already almost in front of her.
Shen Hanxiu’s gaze unreservedly fell upon Su Nian, and his steps were headed straight towards her.
Wei Lan consciously pulled Jing Zan away to look at other flowers.
Shen Hanxiu stared at the silent Su Nian, his direct gaze forcing her to look down. Seeing her turning to leave, Shen Hanxiu finally spoke: “What kind of flower is better to send to a beloved woman?”
Su Nian’s steps faltered, seemingly caught off guard by his opening line.
In her memory, he was never associated with these delicate and glamorous plants.
Then she thought, today was his engagement with Su Yalan, he must have come for Yalan to pick flowers, right?
Not having seen him for over half a month, this encounter was somewhat awkward.
Hearing his words, Su Nian finally stopped and felt there was no need to avoid, replying in a standardized manner: “Sir, you may choose roses, which represent love. Especially since today is Qixi Festival.”
“Do all women like roses?” His voice was light, as though talking to himself, and then he asked again: “Then how many should one give?”
“That would depend on what sentiment the gentleman wishes to convey.”
Shen Hanxiu appeared contemplative, silently and seemingly troubled, he said: “The other party is not very bright, so it’s better to have a meaning that’s more obvious.”
Su Nian paused before replying: “Common options include one flower, representing the only love.”
“Too few.”
Su Nian thought to herself that he had plenty of money to burn, and today was his engagement day with Su Yalan, he was naturally not one to pinch pennies, so she said: “Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, implying everlasting love, endless affection.”
“Too cliché.”
Su Nian: “…”
She rolled her eyes covertly, thinking wealthy people are indeed hard to serve. Wishing to get rid of him quickly, she added: “A thousand roses, for faithful love, till death do us part.”
Shen Hanxiu fell silent for a moment, muttering to himself: “Faithful love?”
Then, with the same serious expression as if he were inspecting something in his company, he said: “Not bad, a thousand it is.”
Su Nian turned to instruct the staff to prepare the flowers, ordering a thousand roses was indeed the first big order of the day.
Being an accounting major, Su Nian went on to calculate out loud for Shen Hanxiu: “Today’s price is twenty yuan per rose, a thousand roses would be twenty thousand yuan. Sir, do you have a membership card? Cash or card?”
Watching Su Nian portray the role of a passerby to perfection, Shen Hanxiu played along with the act of strangers, pulling out his wallet and responding: “No, card.”
Su Nian led him to the cashier, completing the transaction. Just as she was about to turn around and attend to the next customer, Shen Hanxiu subtly stepped forward, blocking her path and gazing down at her: “Deliver it for me.”
Su Nian, annoyed, sidestepped him and took out paper and pen to ask: “Time, place, person.”
Shen Hanxiu answered each in turn: “Now, Jinxiu Garden A District Building 1, Unit 216…”
Before he could finish, Su Nian’s pen halted.
That address was where she currently lived! She herself couldn’t recollect it clearly, but he had it memorized perfectly!
When Su Nian stopped writing, Shen Hanxiu’s voice continued without pause: “…for Su Nian to receive.”
Seeing Su Nian look up and glare at him, he raised an eyebrow and asked: “Is there any problem?”
Su Nian looked up and said: “Please sir, confirm if the address is correct.”
Shen Hanxiu replied without hesitation: “It’s correct.”
Su Nian, infuriated, pressed so hard with her pen that she nearly tore the paper.
He sent her flowers for the first time, yet there was no touch of emotion in his heart, but a sense of being played.
Thinking it over, he’d just take the twenty thousand yuan he got and give the flowers back to Su Zhen for fun.
The driver had already brought his car around, and as soon as he had the keys in hand, the flowers were also neatly arranged.
Shen Hanxiu told Su Nian, “Hurry up and send them over.”
Su Nian gave him a disdainful look, holding the flowers. Since she was delivering them to her own home anyway, it wouldn’t matter if she tossed them in a trash can after turning a corner.
All she needed to do was to get rid of this man.
After not seeing him for half a month, she initially thought she had spoken too heartlessly, causing him to be hurt and angry, but it turned out he was still the same!
Su Nian had just stepped out of the Purple Flower Shop when Shen Hanxiu made his move.
He directly captured Su Nian and pulled her into the car, immediately locking the doors.
Su Nian, with the cumbersome bouquet, was pushed by Shen Hanxiu, falling onto the seat, with a few petals of roses delicately falling onto the black seat.
Shen Hanxiu looked at the annoyed Su Nian, and before she could start cursing, he asked nonsensically, “How does it feel?”
“Open the door!”
“Answer me.”
Su Nian glanced at the door lock, then turned her head away, “I don’t understand what you mean, sir.”
Shen Hanxiu leaned slightly towards her: “It’s just the two of us now, who are you performing for?”
Su Nian turned around, threw the flowers at him, barely got to her feet, and quickly reached out to press the door lock…
Shen Hanxiu seized the opportunity to grab her hand, pulling her into his embrace, and with a smirk said, “You say you don’t want to see me, but the moment we meet, you can’t resist throwing yourself into my arms?”
“Let go of me!”
Shen Hanxiu did not let go; instead, he hugged her a bit tighter.
The scent of roses lingered in the car, the fragrance unsettling her thoughts.
“How did it feel while I was away?”
Su Nian struggled to prop herself up but couldn’t overcome his strength, her face was pressed into his embrace, with a hint of petulance in her voice: “Great!”
Shen Hanxiu loosened his grip slightly, looked down at her honey-colored lips, and whispered, “Let me see if they’re lying…”
Seeing his face closing in, Su Nian reacted and immediately tried to push him away, but she felt the hand at the back of her head applying a greater force…
Knowing she couldn’t avoid it, Su Nian instinctively pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and slightly turned her head away…
“Bang, bang—”
The sound of someone knocking on the glass window came discordantly, it was fortunate for this noise, that Shen Hanxiu finally stopped.
Su Nian took advantage of his momentary lapse to push him away, but he used one large hand to grip both her wrists, as if to prevent her from unlocking the door.
As he rolled down the car window, the person bending over outside also immediately came into view, and that’s when Su Nian saw who was knocking.
It was Deng Tonglian.
As soon as the window was rolled down, her voice loudly poured in: “My son what are you still doing here? The engagement banquet is about to start!”
They had been anxious for a good half-month, and it wasn’t until yesterday that they got the news of his whereabouts from Yang Zichen, and when they heard he arrived at the airport this morning, they thought he was rushing back for the engagement.
Shen Hanxiu looked at his mother outside the window and feigned ignorance: “Engagement? Whose engagement? Do you need a gift? I’ll have someone deposit it into your card when I go back.”
“What nonsense are you talking about! It’s your engagement with Yalan!” Deng Tonglian, as she spoke, bent further down, looking inside, and when she saw Su Nian, she was visibly shocked, then burst into curse: “You little vixen! Get down from there! I’m telling you, today is my son’s engagement banquet! Have the decency to leave on your own accord! Don’t create a disturbance here!”
Deng Tonglian was certain Su Nian was attempting to ruin the engagement banquet, using schemes to keep her son from attending.

Shen Hanxiu, impatiently rolling up the window, stated clearly, “Clean up the mess you all made on your own.”
Deng Tonglian blocked the window with her hand, incessantly saying: “My son! Don’t be fooled by this vixen! Come with mom, Yalan is waiting for you!”
Watching the window rolling up, Deng Tonglian, afraid of getting her hand pinched, quickly let go.
She kept trying to persuade Shen Hanxiu, but her voice was blocked outside the window, and the next second, the sound of the car’s engine was heard as the black silhouette drove a great distance away.
Deng Tonglian was left stomping her feet on the spot in frustration, with no plan at hand.
As soon as the car turned the corner, Su Nian demanded to get out: “Stop the car!”
Shen Hanxiu kept driving without slowing down, eyes fixed ahead, “Considering you drive yourself, you should know you can’t stop the car here.”
Su Nian kept silent, waiting until they got to a parking spot to call out again, but he chose to ignore her.
