Chapter 217: Chapter 161: Would You Like to Be Uncle’s Little Spy?
After confirming that Shen Hanxiu was coming, a smile finally appeared on Su Zhen’s face.
"Aunt Qiuqiu, I want to eat a lot, a lot of prawns! I haven’t eaten them for so long!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Jin Qiu hugged her: "Call me Sister Qiuqiu! Sister will let you eat to your heart’s content!"
Su Zhen grinned sweetly, calling out: "Sister Qiuqiu!"
Jin Qiu couldn’t stop smiling, turning to look at Tang Ge: "Gege! Let’s have one too! She’s so cute it kills me!"
Tang Ge just smiled silently.
From the top floor of Sheng Han, the sound of a mobile phone could be heard.
Shen Hanxiu’s gaze flickered, and a hint of color returned to his dim eyes.
He hadn’t expected Su Zhen to call him, he had already accepted a dinner invitation for the evening, and now he had to change it to the Ocean Restaurant.
The room he booked was right next to Su Nian’s; as soon as he entered, Shen Hanxiu sent a message to Su Zhen, informing her of his location.
Su Zhen read the message, then putting her little brain to work, furrowed her little face: "Mom, I want to go to the bathroom."
Su Nian hadn’t even realized this little girl was willing to talk to her yet, "Let’s go, Mom will take you."
"No! I’ll go by myself, I can find it." Saying so, she slid off the stool and limped out.
She immediately knocked on the door next door.
Shen Hanxiu bent down to pick her up, feeling that his daughter was much more pleasing than her mother.
Su Zhen, sitting in his arms with her dark big eyes looking at him, spoke with an unspeakable sense of grievance: "I thought Uncle Shen didn’t like me anymore; you ignored me when I called you yesterday."
"How about Uncle treats you to prawns for a whole month?"
"Hmph, it’s not that Uncle was bad, it’s my mom who was bad." Su Zhen turned around, looking at him very sincerely: "Uncle, my mom is silly, she did something wrong, can you not be mad at her?"
Shen Hanxiu remained silent, thinking it would be nice if Su Nian was half as sensible as her daughter.
Seeing he hadn’t spoken, Su Zhen thought he was still angry, so she grabbed his sleeve and shook it coquettishly: "Uncle~ Because you were angry at mom yesterday, mom didn’t eat a single bite of food today!"
Shen Hanxiu: "..." He clearly saw that woman eating quite a lot in the cafeteria at noon, he had always thought Su Zhen was naive, but it seems she was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
"If you keep ignoring mom, she’ll starve."
Naturally, he could not bear to ignore Su Nian, he just wanted to intimidate Su Nian a bit, to see if she really was happy without him, last night he even thought about letting go, but by dawn he dismissed the idea, because he knew it’s too difficult, probably more painful than death.
For nearly twenty years, she has been the only woman who entered his life, her childhood self was even more mischievous than Su Zhen, fiercely unruly, yet he unexpectedly liked her noise.
Six years ago when he caught her fleeing a wedding, he went to great lengths and set a trap to marry her as he wished.
Throughout their two years of marriage, he still loved her, even though she didn’t know he was Han Zisheng and yet she took their marriage seriously.
He wouldn’t forget, in this marriage, she was the one who took the initial steps.
That night, Ye Jiayao called saying she was injured and went to the hospital, asked him to visit, he told her truthfully and went out, but then her arms encircled his waist unexpectedly, she declared like a little tyrant: "Shen Hanxiu, I like you! If you reject me, leave now, and tomorrow we’ll get a divorce certificate. If you accept, stay with me tonight..."
Her confession was a surprise to him; of course, he accepted that night, and when she offered herself to him, he knew it was true love.
But what changed her truly?
"Uncle, let me apologize for Mom!"
Shen Hanxiu then snapped out of it, he pulled Su Zhen up slightly: "You promised to help Uncle, right?"
Su Zhen nodded vigorously, feeling much more at ease hearing this, she was just afraid that Uncle Shen would be disappointed in her naive mom.
"How about being Uncle’s little spy?"
"Okay, Uncle, I’ll do whatever you call me to do."
Shen Hanxiu smiled with satisfaction, then whispered to Su Zhen...
As the client arrived, Shen Hanxiu carried Su Zhen out to the bench outside, leaving the client to Yang Zichen.
Father and daughter talked for a while, although Su Zhen somewhat understood Shen Hanxiu’s plan, she only grasped one point, that Uncle Shen still liked her mom, and her mission was to help reconcile them.
"Hurry back now, let me know if anything comes up."
"No hurry, I told Mom that I came out to use the bathroom."
"You’ve been out for so long, your mom might think you fell in."
"But now I really need to pee."
Shen Hanxiu, carrying her, went towards the restroom but unexpectedly encountered Tang Shaosheng outside the restroom.
Seeing him, Tang Shaosheng appeared somewhat surprised, then smiled at Shen Hanxiu’s grim expression, glanced briefly at the women’s restroom, a cunning gleam flashing in his eyes before turning around and walking to the corner, waiting to watch the drama.
Shen Hanxiu ignored Tang Shaosheng, put Su Zhen down: "I’ll wait outside for you, go quickly."
Seeing Su Zhen hadn’t returned after a long while, Su Nian stood up to search.
As he walked towards the restroom corridor, he saw a man leaning against the wall of the corridor.
Tang Shaosheng also saw Su Nian, raised his eyebrows and exhaled a puff of white smoke, his lips curling into a smile with unclear implications.
Su Nian gave him a disdainful glance and continued walking forward.
At the same time, a woman in a white floral dress emerged from the women’s restroom. Upon seeing Shen Hanxiu not far away, she stopped adjusting her hair and her eyes sparkled with irrepressible joy as she ran towards him in her high heels: "Ah Shu!"
Shen Hanxiu looked up upon hearing her, his eyebrows immediately furrowing, thinking, "Why is Ye Jiayao here?!"
Overwhelmed by her longing, Ye Jiayao didn’t hesitate to throw herself into Shen Hanxiu’s arms, hugging him tightly and expressing her longing, "Ah Shu, I’ve missed you so much!"
Su Nian, just turning the corner, was struck by this scene, stopping in her tracks with a moment of surprise turning to indifference on her face.
She had guessed right after all, glad that she hadn’t softened her heart to accept Shen Hanxiu again...
Shen Hanxiu instantly pushed Ye Jiayao away, his peripheral vision catching sight of Su Nian and Tang Shaosheng standing behind her.
Tang Shaosheng’s smile was smug, finding the coincidence of the situation unexpected.
Su Nian averted her gaze as if she had seen two unrelated people, passing them by to head to the women’s restroom.
When Su Zhen came out, she saw her mom there and glanced towards Uncle Shen, her mind not yet catching up with the situation.
Su Nian stepped forward to embrace her: "What took you so long?"
Su Zhen glanced at Shen Hanxiu and pretended to be surprised: "Eh! Uncle Shen is here too!"
Su Nian said nothing, not giving Shen Hanxiu another look, expressionless as she held Su Zhen and walked straight past Ye Jiayao and Shen Hanxiu.
Su Zhen innocently turned her head looking at Shen Hanxiu who gestured that he would call, then he also stepped away.
Ye Jiayao hurriedly caught up with him, grabbing his hand: "Ah Shu! Take me home... I won’t upset you ever again."
Shen Hanxiu shook off her hand, looked down at her legs, and understood something: "Ye Jiayao, if you live quietly this time I won’t interfere, but if you play tricks again, don’t blame me for not allowing you to stay in this city!"
"Ah Shu... how could you say such things..."
Shen Hanxiu, unwilling to say more, just gave Tang Shaosheng a warning look who then said: "It seems, you’re not far from being single."
Shen Hanxiu gave him a sidelong glance, confidently striding away.
Ye Jiayao ran up worriedly asking, "What should I do? Ah Shu saw my legs! What if he knows I deceived him?"
Tang Shaosheng reassuringly said, "Don’t worry, just say that I took you to get treated. Now you can show him the most beautiful you."
Pretending to be disabled for most of her life, hearing that she could appear before the man she loved like a normal girl undoubtedly thrilled Ye Jiayao.
National Day soon arrived, the day of Jin Qiu’s grand wedding.
Wei Lan was the bridesmaid, Su Zhen and Su Bao were the flower children.
The wedding took place in a large cathedral and was quite a spectacle.
Tang Ge and Jin Qiu had finally come full circle from their student days to now.
There was joy and harmony inside the church, but the atmosphere inside a certain police station was different.
"Hey Yang, you’ve been showing that long face for days, did I borrow money and not pay you back?"
Yang Zijing, lost in thought and playing with a pen, did not hear him.
On the other hand, a young female officer spoke up: "Officer Xiao Wang, I told you that your EQ is low and you wouldn’t admit it. Our Officer Yang is obviously heartbroken!"
"Heartbroken? What a joke! Does he even know what love is?"
The female officer gave him a disdainful look: "And you say you’re his bros for years! You don’t even know this!"
"What? There’s something about him that I don’t know? I even know what color his [underwear] is!"
"Bullcrapper! Actually, the story goes like this, a long long time ago, a man fell for a woman at first sight. Sadly, the woman never took this man to heart. Now, this woman is getting married, and since he heard the news, he’s been showing his mood to his subordinates..."
Officer Xiao Wang, shocked, cautiously pointed at Yang Zijing, "That... that man is him?!"
The female officer pursed her lips, receiving a threatening look from Yang Zijing, said: "I don’t know, I’m just the innocent subordinate."
"Oh my God, Yang Zijing! You still play unspoken crush huh!"
Yang Zijing glared at him, clearly in a bad mood, and shot out a word: "Scram."
Officer Xiao Wang, instead of scramming, came closer: "What’s the big deal! I have a suggestion for you."
"What could you suggest? Just your usual duds! Seeing Officer Yang in a bad mood lets you stand guard duty!"
"No, I’m serious!" Xiao Wang moved around the desk closer to Yang Zijing, his face playful and sly as he asked: "Isn’t your secret crush getting married today?"
Yang Zijing didn’t answer, just stared at him, waiting for what he’d say next.
Xiao Wang slapped his hands together: "That’s easy! As long as she’s not married yet, there’s still a chance! You go to her wedding, and just say one line!"
Yang Zijing and the female officer asked simultaneously: "What Line?"
