My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 88 - 79: Innocence and Naivety Require No Intelligence

Chapter 88: Chapter 79: Innocence and Naivety Require No Intelligence

Su Zhen insisted on not staying in the hospital; when her fever subsided in the evening, Shen Hanxiu agreed and they went home.

They returned to Su Nian’s new home.

The room was a bit small, and Shen Hanxiu, tall and stout, seemed a bit cramped inside.

Yet he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all; he sat on the sofa holding Su Zhen, “Zhenzhen, shall we take the medicine, okay?”

Su Zhen, pouting and leaning softly against him, still looked unhappy, and refused: “No.”

Children rarely like taking medicine, but she had just recovered from a fever, and it would be troublesome if it recurred in the middle of the night, so Su Nian, sitting beside them, softly said, “Let’s take the medicine, and then Mom will make you sweet ribs, okay?”

...

But Su Zhen wasn’t buying it: “I don’t want to eat Mom’s sweet ribs… I want Uncle Liang’s…”

“Okay, later we’ll ask Uncle Liang to cook, but Uncle Liang doesn’t like disobedient children, so let’s be good and take the medicine first.”

Her little head tilted, snuggling into Shen Hanxiu’s arms, “Wuu~ I don’t want to take medicine…”

Hearing her cry, Su Nian felt weak and quickly gave in, “Okay, we won’t take the medicine.”

Sighing deeply, then thinking, he said: “Zhenzhen, what if you don’t take the medicine and Uncle Shen won’t play with you anymore?”

Immediately stopping her crying, Su Zhen looked up at Shen Hanxiu and asked sweetly, “Uncle Shen, are you leaving?”

“If you take the medicine, uncle won’t leave.”

“Can you stay the night too? Can you hold my hand while I sleep? Can you tell me the story of Sleeping Beauty?”

Shen Hanxiu looked at Su Nian, then smiled and answered, “Yes.”

Still Sleeping Beauty, that woman really loves those fairy tales that deceive children, making her Zhenzhen so foolish.

Su Bao sat quietly next to Su Nian, not speaking, but his mind was filled with lots of thoughts.

When Su Nian got up to get some water, Su Bao just looked at Shen Hanxiu, who also looked down at him.

This child, keeping silent, not getting involved in anything, one wonders what he is thinking about; it seems now that Su Zhen is dealt with, next is Su Bao.

In the evening, Liang Yizhou came over to cook, and after taking her medicine, Su Zhen felt much better, at least able to compete with Su Bao for the television, started to be naughty again.

After dinner, Liang Yizhou received a call, something about adding a draft, spoke briefly to Su Nian and then left.

Su Zhen’s condition improved, and she watched Boonie Bears with interest, laughter occasionally ringing out.

Seeing it was getting late, Su Nian said, “Zhenzhen, time to take a bath.”

“Su Bao first.”

“Brother already bathed.”

Having no excuse, Su Zhen reluctantly got up, still clinging to Shen Hanxiu, afraid he’d leave if she took her eyes off him.

When it was time to sleep, she held Su Bao’s hand with one hand and Shen Hanxiu’s with the other, Su Nian sitting on the bed’s edge, reading her Sleeping Beauty.

Finally attended to her satisfaction, the little one went to sleep soundly.

Su Nian put down the storybook, looked up and met Shen Hanxiu’s deep gaze, he had been staring intently at her, unknowing since when.

Su Nian looked away, put the storybook on the nightstand and stood up, softly saying, “Let’s go, she’s asleep.”

Shen Hanxiu gently released Su Zhen’s hand, tucked her in, and followed Su Nian out the door, then out of nowhere came a comment: “The story was interesting.”

To be precise, it was her voice that was pleasing, he had never heard her speak so gently, her voice soft and soothing, comforting the heart.

Su Nian replied with irritation, “So even President Shen likes these naïve, childish stories that need no intellect?” Recalling what he once said about her, naïve and childish needing no intellect.

Shen Hanxiu laughed softly, silent, realizing she still remembered what he had said, which was somewhat gratifying.

Seeing him leaning by the door, Su Nian kindly reminded him, “You can go now.”

“I didn’t drive here, and it’s getting late.”

Su Nian then remembered that in the evening, it was Yang Zichen who drove them, and glancing at the clock on the wall, it was already past eleven, indeed it was late.

Before Su Nian could think of a solution, Shen Hanxiu asked, “Where shall I sleep? Together?”

“You’re sick!” Su Nian dragged him to the balcony outside the living room.

Shen Hanxiu, thinking she was engaging in some late-night romance, maybe taking him to the balcony to watch the moon or count stars, was instead met with her pointing across to a building lit with neon signs displaying “Accommodating [Hotel]” and saying, “When you go downstairs, just turn right and you’ll get there. I’m sure President Shen can afford that slight expense for a small hotel, no need to see you off.”
