My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 194 - 144 Baby, be honest, are you disliking Mom?

Hearing him say this, Shen Hanxiu remained calm and collected, knowing that Tang Shaosheng was behind this, and that Su Nian’s aversion to him now might just be Tang Shaosheng’s "credit".

"To celebrate our being single, how about a drink tonight?"

Shen Hanxiu glanced at him and dropped a terse reply: "You can’t outplay me."

Then he pulled open the car door, Su Nian, leaning against the window, was stunned for a second before her forehead was pushed inward, Tang Shaosheng’s voice with a hint of smile came from outside: "Just wait and see, Third Young Master Shen, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed."

Shen Hanxiu slammed the door decisively: "Drive into it!"

The driver was startled, broke out in a cold sweat, but still slowly backed the car up and drove around the Mercedes.

Just as the car started, Su Nian asked, "What did he say to you?"

"Don’t ask about men’s affairs, woman."

Su Nian fell silent and stopped asking, turning her head to look out the window, praying that Ziyan would be okay.

As a mother, she knew the pain of losing a child better than anyone else.

Ziyan loved that child so much, always smiling since leaving the hospital. What if something happens to the child?

The car unknowingly stopped by the hospital entrance, Su Nian intended to look for Ziyan but was dragged away by Shen Hanxiu for a full-body checkup.

"Third Young Master Shen need not worry, the lady has only a superficial wound on her forehead. Apply some medication and there won’t even be a scar."

Su Nian glared at him, dissatisfied: "I told you the blood isn’t mine! You’re wasting my time!" Then she turned to ask the doctor from before, "Where is your hospital director?"

"The director? Seems to be in the emergency room." The doctor added curiously, "It’s rare to see the director personally take charge."

Su Nian turned and headed for the emergency room but was tripped up again by this man: "Can’t even take care of yourself and you’re worrying about others?"

"Shen Hanxiu! Ziyan has had a miscarriage!" Su Nian looked at him seriously, reminding him like a warning, wanting him to realize the gravity of the situation and not to keep her for those unnecessary checks.

"It’s not your child anyway..."

Before Shen Hanxiu could finish, Su Nian’s eyes suddenly reddened: "What do you understand?!"

Shen Hanxiu was taken aback, realizing he had touched a taboo in her heart. Yes, she too had lost a child, and that pain was etched into her very soul.

"You don’t care, of course! Let go!"

Shen Hanxiu sighed softly and released her hand, "At least change your clothes first."

Su Nian didn’t look at him, and without a reply, she walked away.

His flippant and indifferent tone reminded her of the child she never got to meet, reigniting the clear pain in her heart.

Reaching the emergency room, Su Nian realized it was already two in the afternoon. She didn’t care that her leave was overdue and paced anxiously outside the emergency room door.

Uncle Cheng was so capable, Yanyan should be fine, right?

Perhaps she shouldn’t have saved Tang Shaosheng that day. It’d be better if such a person were dead, and Yanyan wouldn’t have to suffer again. If the child was gone because of this, could Yanyan find the strength to recover, like when she lost her voice?

Su Nian sat on the chair outside, her gaze resting on the emergency room door, motionless as a painting.

"Go change into clean clothes."

Hearing the voice, Su Nian turned her head, glanced at the hand and then at the paper bag he handed over. After being yelled at, he still had the patience to buy clothes for her.

It was like returning to the past; no matter how much she lost her temper, he always patiently took care of her.

Su Nian lowered her eyes, not looking into his, and hesitantly took the paper bag with a soft "Thank you..."

Su Nian picked up the paper bag to find a place to change clothes. After taking just a few steps, his voice echoed through the silent corridor: "It’ll be alright."

Her footsteps paused briefly, then she continued walking, head down.

It’ll be alright.

He always told her this, and this simple phrase, when spoken from his mouth, seemed to possess a different kind of magic, always able to soothe her restless heart.

She found an empty ward and changed into clean clothes, feeling much better indeed. When she came out, he was standing by the window talking on the phone with his back to her, faintly hearing him say, "I’m not free right now, call Special Assistant Yang... Then postpone it, we’ll talk when I get back... If not, just cancel it."

Waiting for him to hang up the phone, Su Nian spoke: "Go ahead if you’re busy... Oh, and help me take the afternoon off."

He pocketed his phone, "That’s your prerogative."

Whether or not she goes to work, whether or not she plays hooky, that’s her prerogative, and no one in the company dares to gossip.

Su Nian met his gaze, so earnest it was difficult for her to look too long.

Despite being so busy, he was staying with her, just thinking of how to make him leave, when the emergency room door opened at that moment.

The sudden noise in the quiet corridor made Su Nian quickly turn around and see Su Yuecheng removing his mask while walking out; she immediately went up and asked, "How is it, Uncle Cheng? My friend is alright, isn’t she?"

"Temporarily safe, but must rest more carefully, a slight negligence could easily result in a miscarriage."

Hearing the child was still there, Su Nian’s heart finally eased.

Following the gurney to the ward, Ziyan was still unconscious, pale with not a trace of color.

Su Yuecheng also felt a pang in his heart, and she didn’t even have the right to treat her openly right now.

"Stay in the hospital during this period, it’s better to deal with any issues at a moment’s notice."

Su Nian thought it was safer in the hospital than at home, at least Tang Shaosheng wouldn’t dare to cause trouble, "Okay, it’s good that everything’s alright."

Su Yuecheng also sighed in relief, grateful that both the child and her were safe.

"Xiao Nian, what happened? Didn’t I just see you this morning for a check-up? How could something like this have happened all of a sudden?"

Su Nian, without any suspicion as to why Su Yuecheng was asking, honestly replied, "It’s her ex-husband, that Tang Shaosheng who caused this. Yanyan had a miscarriage last time because of him too. He’s simply inhuman!"

Shen Hanxiu then asked, "And the injury on your head, was that his doing too?"

It seems Tang Shaosheng is truly seeking death!

Su Yuecheng fell silent, turning his head to look at the woman on the bed. How could he protect this mother and child? And in what role should he relate to them?

Would Ziyan hate him if she knew he was the man that night? That was what he most wanted to know and was also the most afraid to find out.

"Xiao Nian, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?"

"It’s okay..."

Su Yuecheng glanced at Shen Hanxiu, "You guys go eat first. I’ll stay here and watch over her. Bring something back for your friend too; she’ll need to eat something when she wakes up."

"Oh, okay." Right, she herself might not eat, but Ziyan can’t be left hungry.

Shen Hanxiu took a sideways glance at Su Yuecheng, who was sensible enough to possessively wrap his arms around Su Nian, "Let’s go."

...

Mai City Mental Hospital.

Golden sunlight made the hospital building dazzingly bright, as a flamboyant red McLaren came to a smooth stop in front of the hospital.

The man who stepped out wore a white suit, with a wound on his forehead that hadn’t been bandaged—streaked with dry blood, it didn’t detract from his handsomeness.

"Young Master Tang, are you here to see Yaoyao again?"

"How has she been lately?"

"Much better; she’s been quite normal these past few days. She kept asking me to call you, saying she wanted to go home."

Tang Shaosheng pushed open the door to the ward, murmuring a faint "Hmm" at the same time.

The heavy scent of perfume still wafted out of the room, but it was much lighter than the last time.

It was that perfume by Shen Hanxiu which Ye Jiayao had pestered him to buy, saying she wanted Shen Hanxiu’s scent.

"Yaoyao, look who’s here?"

Upon hearing the nurse’s voice, the woman who had been sitting at the desk immediately turned her head and then, not even bothering to put on shoes, ran over barefoot: "Tangtang!"

Tang Shaosheng stroked her head, gently pushed her away slightly, then wrapped his arms around her and walked to that desk, whispering, "What are you doing?"

Ye Jiayao glared at the nurse behind her and said, "I told them to call you, but they wouldn’t. I’m writing you a letter; I miss you."

Tang Shaosheng smiled, taking a look around the ward. She had been here for almost four years...

"Shall I take you home?"

Ye Jiayao, nestled in his embrace, suddenly lifted her head, her face full of joy: "Really?"

"Really, let’s go now."

"Can I go see Ah Shu?"

"Yes."

"I want to change into a pretty dress; I want to put on makeup!" she said excitedly, running to the wardrobe to choose.

Tang Shaosheng’s lips curled up in a concealed smirk. What he couldn’t have, he wouldn’t let anyone else have either!

Shen Hanxiu loved Su Nian so much; if Su Nian hated him, things would certainly become interesting...

In the evening, upon hearing the news, Wei Lan and Qiuqiu both rushed to the hospital, and Ziyan had already woken up.

Seeing that her baby was still safe, joy once again returned to her face.

The ward was lively; looking at the adorable Su Zhen and Su Bao, Ziyan found herself hoping her baby would be born soon and would be just as adorable as Su Zhen and Su Bao, right?

But she was a bit scared now, afraid she wasn’t capable enough to protect her child.

And if Tang Shaosheng was determined to take the baby away, where could she hide?

With his numerous methods, could the baby safely make it to the day of birth?

At night, Su Yuecheng said he would send someone to take care of Ziyan. Su Nian trusted Su Yuecheng and felt at ease to head home. On the way back, she always felt like a black car was following her—a black car she seemed to have seen over the past few days.

But, thinking it over, it was probably just her imagination; black cars were common, and maybe it was just someone going the same way.

As soon as the car stopped, Su Nian got Su Zhen down and heard her say, "Mom, let’s go live at Uncle Shen’s place?"

"Why?"

"Uncle Shen’s house is so big; we could live there too, and then we could go swimming every day."

Su Nian, holding her, entered the elevator, only closing the door after she saw Su Bao and Su Yan get in: "Be honest, baby, are you tired of Mom?"

Su Zhen bit her finger, eyes cast down, "No... Mom is smart, beautiful, and..."

"Enough of that! If you’re not tired of Mom, why do you want to go live at Uncle Shen’s place?"

Su Zhen immediately put on an innocent face, looking up at her: "I meant all of us moving there together."

"No way!"

Hearing Su Nian’s refusal, Su Zhen pouted, "Hmph, Mom, you’re brainless! Uncle Shen’s house is big and empty anyway; if we live there, we can save on rent." And she added, "If you don’t go, I’ll go by myself!"
