My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 195 - 145 Uncle, I’m Scared to Sleep Alone

Uncle Shen instructed her, if her Mom didn’t go, she should bring out the ultimate weapon.

Su Zhen thought she was going, confident that her dearly beloved mom would definitely follow, only to hear her mom say: "Then you go ahead. Once you’re sold off, I’ll just buy lollipops for Su Bao alone."

Twisting her head stubbornly, Su Zhen exited as soon as the elevator doors opened: "Hmph, I’m definitely someone you picked up from a trash bin, Mom!"

Su Nian chuckled silently, while Su Bao and Su Yan remained quiet.

Back at home, Su Nian was still tidying the living room when she saw Su Zhen coming out of her room, dragging a small suitcase.

Seeing her sulky little figure, Su Nian couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Where are you going?"

"Hmph, I’m running away from home!"

Su Nian thought she was just playing around, and teased: "Are you going to sleep in the small park downstairs?"

"Of course not, I’m going to sleep in Uncle Shen’s big house!"

Before Su Nian could say anything else, the doorbell rang, and Su Zhen, excited, sprinted over: "Uncle Shen is here!"

Without waiting for Su Nian to speak, Su Zhen opened the door and let the man in.

"Woo~ Uncle Shen, Mom doesn’t want me anymore! She only wants Su Bao; I’m so pitiful..." The moment Shen Hanxiu entered, Su Zhen clung to his legs to complain.

Shen Hanxiu chuckled and picked up Su Zhen, admiring how she had really managed to squeeze out tears, her wet eyelashes making her look extremely pitiful.

Su Nian didn’t expect it to turn real, so she went up to hug Su Zhen: "Come down, you have school tomorrow, go take a bath and sleep."

"Hmph!" Su Zhen turned her head away, clinging to Shen Hanxiu’s neck and flopping onto his shoulder, appearing very unhappy.

"Hurry, Su Bao and little uncle are going to sleep."

Su Zhen hesitated and glanced at the bedroom, unsure what to do if her mom and the family really didn’t come. What would happen if she went by herself?

With neither Su Bao nor her little uncle, who would hold her hand as she slept? Besides, she couldn’t bear to be apart from her mom.

But then, thinking about her mom’s future happiness, she still played hardball, "I want to stay with Uncle Shen."

"I’ll take her over first, and you all can come over anytime."

"Shen Hanxiu! She’s just a child; why are you encouraging her nonsense?"

Shen Hanxiu looked down at Su Zhen, her eyes brimming with tears, "She cried on the phone saying her mom doesn’t want her; how could I not come?"

Su Nian speechlessly said: "You know her temper."

Shen Hanxiu of course wasn’t a fool; all this was part of his plan.

"Zhenzhen, where are you sleeping tonight?"

Su Zhen struggled, looking from Shen Hanxiu to Su Nian. What she really hoped was for everyone to go to Uncle Shen’s place, now making her choose was truly difficult.

On one hand, she didn’t want to break the promise with Uncle Shen, and on the other hand, she didn’t want to be apart from her mom.

After thinking, helping Uncle Shen seemed the long-term benefit; the separation from her mom was only temporary, so she looked at Su Nian with reluctance and mumbled: "I’m going to sleep at Uncle Shen’s house..." ending suddenly with: "I want Su Bao to come with me."

Su Bao, unsympathetically, turned and headed to his own bedroom: "Go by yourself."

Su Zhen turned her head, looking aggrievedly at Shen Hanxiu, who knew she had never been separated from her mom and brother and that her reluctance was natural, but it was a necessary step in the plan.

"It’s getting late, I’ll take the child over now."

Su Nian frowned, momentarily silent; it really was true that another year older, another year less obedient.

She wasn’t worried about anything else, just worried about Su Zhen leaving her sight; what if Shen Hanxiu had ulterior motives towards her?

Watching Shen Hanxiu open the door, Su Nian stepped forward, saying: "It’s too late today; how about we go to Uncle’s house during the holiday?"

Su Zhen was somewhat touched; her little hand almost reached out to hug Su Nian, then she hesitated again, not trusting: "I don’t want to, you always lie, your words don’t count!"

Su Nian finally realized she shouldn’t often deceive children.

Shen Hanxiu glanced at the three people in the room, bid goodnight, and then left with Su Zhen in his arms.

"Wait!"

Shen Hanxiu paused, mistakenly thinking the plan was successful and Su Nian was coming along.

But turning back, he saw her walking into the room, "I’ll pack her a couple sets of clothes."

Shen Hanxiu’s excitement had not yet showed before it vanished, "No need, we have clothes there."

Being cautious, Su Nian accompanied the father and daughter into the elevator: "Mom will come pick you up tomorrow."

Su Zhen, not getting the outcome she wanted, was in a small mood, ignoring Su Nian altogether.

This was the first time Su Zhen was angry with her own mother; it truly didn’t feel great for her.

Watching the elevator doors close, Su Nian watched the numbers hit the ground floor before returning to her room.

Downstairs, Su Zhen sadly gazed upwards: "Uncle, will Mom really come?"

"She will, just stay at Uncle’s house and wait for Mom."

"But I don’t want to be separated from Mom and Su Bao, and not from little uncle either."

Shen Hanxiu, knowing the child’s sense of loss, patted her head and placed her in the safety seat, then drove home.

A child’s bed was prepared at home, and after getting her settled and was about to turn off the light, she suddenly spoke up: "Uncle, I’m scared to sleep alone."

Shen Hanxiu was startled, remembering that the two kids always stuck together, "Is it okay if Uncle sleeps with you?"

The little one immediately lifted the blanket, standing up from the bed, with arms open towards Shen Hanxiu, smiling at him.

Holding his daughter to sleep for the first time, it was a feeling Shen Hanxiu had never experienced before.

Satisfied and thrilled, her soft little body adhering to him, the implicit comfort went without saying.

"If that woman were here too, it would be perfect."

Ever since Su Nian left four years ago, this home hadn’t felt this warm in a long time.

Like her mom, Su Zhen didn’t have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds, and fell asleep after muttering a few words with him.

Shen Hanxiu turned over and picked up the mobile phone by the bed, it seemed to be close to midnight.

That woman must be worried and unable to sleep, right?

He seldom texted, but quickly sent one: Did you sleep?

She replied quickly from the other end: Did Zhenzhen fall asleep?

It seemed she really was worried.

Thinking it over, he turned on the bedside lamp. The soft light fell on Su Zhen’s face. Shen Hanxiu folded his arms, the one under her head remained as still as possible, and he took a photo of Su Zhen’s face with his other hand.

Su Nian opened the photo. In the dim light, Su Zhen’s sleeping face was peaceful, and you could tell she was lying on her dad’s arm.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Su Nian’s anxiously fluttering heart gradually calmed, and her lips involuntarily curved upwards.

She thought she would never see such a scene again in her lifetime, except maybe in dreams...

As she got lost looking at the photo, her phone beeped twice.

Time to sleep, good night.

Su Nian took a deep breath, quickly typed "good night" in the reply box, hesitated at the send button, but finally deleted those simple words, as if by doing so, she could stop her heart from falling...

The night deepened, and the city fell asleep.

At 2 a.m., a red BMW parked in the underground parking lot.

A woman in a silver slip dress rushed out of the car, heading quickly towards the elevator.

Haohao woke up from his sleep, listening carefully to the knocking that seemed to be coming from outside their door.

It just so happened that Su Bao was not home today, and alone at night, the knocking frightened him immensely.

He covered his head with his blanket, hoping the knocking would pass, but then faintly heard a voice: "Li Yihao! Open the door!"

It was Mom!

Haohao then scrambled out from under the blanket, hurriedly put on his shoes, turned on the room light, and walked out.

"Mom!"

When the door opened, Xue Qi didn’t even glance at Haohao, her expression somewhat off.

She started rummaging through the cupboard as soon as she entered, her hands trembling...

Haohao, concerned, asked, "Mom, what’s wrong? What are you looking for? I’ll help you."

Xue Qi turned to look at Haohao, crouching down, her hands tightly grasping Haohao’s frail shoulders, and urgently asked, "Son, do you have any money? Didn’t you say you were developing some software? You have money, right? Give it to Mom quickly."

Haohao was taken aback. Although his mom looked a bit scary, he always fulfilled her requests.

"Mom, just wait..."

He turned and ran to his room, brought out two piggy banks from the cupboard since he was too young to have a bank account, all his money was stuffed in these, packed full.

"Here, see if it’s enough..."

Xue Qi took them, immediately smashed the ceramic banks on the floor, revealing various denominations of money including small ones like 50 cents and large red notes, quite a number in total.

She smiled joyfully, picking up the money from the floor one by one.

Haohao squatted down and helped her organize the money.

"My darling son, Mom loves you to death."

Hearing her say this, Haohao couldn’t feel happy, because he sensed that tonight’s mom was very strange.

After Xue Qi got the money, she left without stopping.

Haohao looked at the mess on the floor, picked up a broom taller than him, and swept the broken pieces into the trash can.

He then stood on the balcony, watching his mom’s car drive away.

He lay back in bed for a while but still couldn’t relax, took out his phone to call that man, but it showed as switched off...

In the dimly lit underground dance hall.

The woman in the silver short dress pushed open the door, the room was a scene of luxury.

Xue Qi urgently took out the money from her purse: "Brother Wang! I’ve brought the money, give it to me quick, I can’t stand it."

Brother Wang smirked, lifted her chin: "Craving it?"

"Brother Wang! See if this money is enough!"

Wang Jinhui released her chin, weighed the money in his hand, "I don’t lack money, that woman... when will she deliver?"

"Brother Wang, you can rest assured! I will do what I said."

"Give me a definite word."

Xue Qi was silent, as if pondering in her heart, then raised her head and said solemnly: "This weekend! I’ll deliver to your bed this weekend!"

Brother Wang smiled contentedly, stroking his chin as if thinking of that indescribable pleasure, waved his hand to the man behind him, a small bag of white powder fell in front of Xue Qi.

Xue Qi grabbed it eagerly as if it was an antidote, dashed out the door.

Once in her car, she locked the door and crazily inhaled the contents of the bag...

After the [drug][craving] subsided, Xue Qi collapsed in the chair, eyes closed, exhausted.

Unnoticed, not far away in another parking spot, sat an inconspicuous Volkswagen...
