Chapter 99: Chapter 84 Even if I’m No Good, I Won’t Strike Against a Dog_2
Shen Hanxiu’s gaze moved to the spot where she was holding her hand and he spoke lightly, “The touch isn’t good, I felt all over but there was no sensation.”
Su Nian almost burst into cursing, grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, but he caught it steadily, placed the pillow at the head of the bed, and began to unbutton his shirt while moving closer to Su Nian: “If you think you’ve been treated unfairly, why not touch back?”
Su Nian quickly turned away, pointing at the door and yelling: “Get out! Get the hell out!”
Shen Hanxiu stopped his movements and looked at her; his actions may have been a bit rough, but her bashful appearance was quite cute.
“There are clothes in the closet.”
“Get out!!”
...
Watching him leave the room, Su Nian gradually calmed her irritable emotions, rushed to lock the door, and upon opening the closet realized…
All the clothes she had not taken with her were still there…
It was in this room where she had held broken glass to her neck to force him into a divorce; it was here where they went their separate ways.
The room had been returned to its usual tidiness, no sign of the mess from when she left.
The memories of this room now surfacing in her mind were more about his kindness to her.
When they first got married, she lived here; she slept in the master bedroom while he slept in the side bedroom, never forcing her to fulfill her duties as a wife simply because they were legally married.
At that time, she naively thought he was a gentleman, not much of a talker, but a very attentive and considerate gentleman.
Back then, she was in a terrible state, kicked out by her own grandfather, penniless, nearly having to drop out of school, and it was him who resolved her tuition fees behind her back.
Working multiple part-time jobs to pay off her debts, whenever he came to her workplace, she was too embarrassed to greet him, so exalted was he.
If she said this man was her husband, everyone would probably take it as her being delusional and just laugh it off.
Even she herself felt she wasn’t good enough for him, too embarrassed to walk alongside him.
She wasn’t someone with low self-esteem, but next to him, she would feel utterly ashamed.
Yet all along, he never spoke a word of disdain; every time she was at her most disheveled, he would encounter her, not choosing to ignore her, but instead offering her a hand…
Back then, she thought that maybe this man was the only warmth in her life.
After her mother passed away, she was sent to the Su Family, but she never felt like it was a home; life under another’s roof was naturally uncomfortable, subjected to faces that would bring humiliation.
In high school, she met Li Zisheng, Zisheng…
That familiar name drove her to pursue him successfully, but she knew Li Zisheng was not the Zisheng she was looking for, and he wasn’t good to her either, she gave more, ultimately betrayed.
She thought she would never fall for a man again, but she gradually fell for Shen Hanxiu’s doting.
The sham marriage bloomed into real affection; she thought she was finally touched by happiness, but it didn’t last…
Su Nian changed into her clothes; the room’s familiar setting made her unwilling to stay any longer, as memories are terrifying things, capable of easily changing one’s convictions.

Heading downstairs, Su Nian didn’t expect to find a delicious breakfast on the table; this man doesn’t cook.
In the hallway, their wedding photos were still hanging; Su Nian quickly diverted her gaze and walked straight for the front door.
“Su Nian!”
Su Nian’s steps halted at the door, hearing Shen Hanxiu’s approaching footsteps, his deep voice slowly began: “This home… do you truly have no lingering feelings for it?”
Su Nian took a deep breath, composed her expression, turned around, and feigned unfamiliarity as she glanced over the place, saying: “It’s been too long, I have a bad memory.”
“I know you have a bad memory, don’t you remember? The things you used to forget, I kept them in mind for you. You forgot in four years, what if I help you remember over ten years?”
Su Nian clenched her teeth, turned around, fearing Shen Hanxiu might detect her emotions, pulled open the shoe cabinet, where all her old shoes were still present… After a brief moment of surprise, she took out a pair, put them on, and said: “President Shen, I think there’s nothing between us worth remembering, let’s not waste your time.”
On the matter of letting go, she had always been carefree, just as she had quietly left with the divorce papers years ago, never planning to return.
The old Su Nian was gone when she sobered up.
No sorrow could be seen on his face, but his heart ached numbly.
Nothing between us worth remembering… is that really the case? Was his waiting over these years just wasted?
“If there’s nothing worth remembering, then let’s create new memories worth recalling.”
His voice was very light; Su Nian walked out the door, hearing him speak but not making out what he said.
Looking at the deserted street, Su Nian suddenly felt a bit stifled.
She forgot this place was in the suburbs, with mostly private cars passing by, and scarcely few at that!
If she walked out, her feet might give out.
So when Shen Hanxiu drove up and offered her a ride, she did not refuse.
She got in touch with Wei Lan and stopped at a sign language training class.
As she got out of the car, Wei Lan and Qiuqiu had already arrived, Shen Hanxiu probably had his own matters to attend to, he left after dropping her off.
“Sister Niannian, were you with him last night?”
“Sister Niannian, wasn’t that President Shen’s car!?”
Su Nian thought about it and naturally lied: “This morning he came for the child, heard I was going out, and gave me a lift.”
Jin Qiu seemed to have something to say, but perhaps it was inconvenient, so she changed the topic: “Let’s go in! This is where I learn sign language, it’s run by a friend of Gege.”
Enrollment was today but the learning would start the next day.
She also received a call from Liang Yizhou in the morning, informing her that the company had an urgent order and might be busy until the end of the year.
In the afternoon, she took the children to play at Ziyan’s store.
Su Zhen carried a little basket in the street, soliciting customers. Seeing a man and a woman holding hands, she ran over and said: “Uncle, buy a flower for the pretty aunty.”
Her soft, unclear voice sounded very obedient; she was so sweet, cute, and managed to sell quite a few that afternoon.
Shen Hanxiu drove by, saw her selling flowers at the roadside, found a spot to park the car, and walked towards the focused flower-selling Su Zhen…
