My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 225 - 166: Ultimately, Still Soft-Hearted Towards Her_2

Chapter 225: Chapter 166: Ultimately, Still Soft-Hearted Towards Her_2

Su Zhen had Jin Qiu with her, so she wasn’t worried.

She hurriedly left the house.

It was November in Mai City, and it had begun to feel chilly. Su Nian put on a loose sweater outdoors; the wind downstairs was strong, making her shiver from the cold.

Upon reaching the gate, she saw an extended RV parked outside.

The driver standing outside immediately spotted Su Nian and respectfully approached, saying, "Miss Su Nian, President Shen sent me to pick you up."

This was Shen Hanxiu’s driver, whom Su Nian recognized, so she didn’t ask many questions and got into the car.

The car drove to the airport. Su Nian didn’t know when the tickets had been bought, and only looked at the destination on the ticket when boarding the plane:

Hai City.

It was a city she and he had visited more than once...

Two hours later, when getting off the plane, it was after 2 a.m.

The airport was very deserted, cold enough to make Su Nian involuntarily shiver.

As she was about to call Shen Hanxiu, a slightly chubby man in a suit approached her: "Miss Su Nian? Please follow me, President Shen is waiting for you."

Su Nian sized him up, wondering if she might be kidnapped or something.

However, at that moment, the chubby man opened the car door, and Su Nian saw a man sitting in the back seat.

He was dressed only in a light gray sweater with black slim-fit trousers hugging his long legs; even his simple attire could not hide his charm.

Su Nian became restrained, bent down to enter the car, stayed near the window, and the driver drove off without Su Nian having prepared any opening remarks.

Shen Hanxiu kept his gaze low, looking at his tablet, as if completely unaware of her presence.

The atmosphere could only be described as awkward; Su Nian sat stiffly, uncomfortable, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say, even struggling to greet him.

The car’s heater was on, and Su Nian’s shivering body gradually stabilized. She turned her head to sneak a look at Shen Hanxiu, suddenly feeling the gap between them was not merely trivial.

Wherever he was, his noble presence was undeniable, and any person standing by his side paled in comparison; every move he made captured the attention of onlookers.

As for her, though her appearance was decent, in a crowd, she was just one among many.

Not knowing the destination or when they would arrive, Su Nian pursed her lips and thought for a long time. Seeing his tablet’s screen had turned off, Su Nian’s mouth just opened to speak: "Um..."

However, before she could finish, the car slowly stopped, not giving her time to react, Shen Hanxiu pulled open the car door, leaving Su Nian with a view of his back and the loudly slammed car door.

Su Nian, not having time to check, hurriedly pulled open the door and got out. As the door opened, cold wind rushed in; Su Nian hugged her neck, held the edges of her sleeves, and quickly followed Shen Hanxiu.

Running, she noticed that there was a hotel ahead.

Su Nian immediately overthought, especially recalling the last time Ziyan asked for a divorce favor, and he had also asked her to spend a night with him...

Worried, she felt a profound sadness; when had their relationship turned into this?

Struggling internally, she unwittingly slowed her pace but still unconsciously followed him close into the hotel, looked up at him, and realized he had already entered the elevator; she hurriedly increased her pace and ran to follow.

Carefully observing him, his expression as cold as the night outside, Su Nian couldn’t guess whether his mood was good or bad, naturally not daring to speak rashly.

Her heart raced along with the silent atmosphere.

Throughout the journey, Shen Hanxiu treated her as if she were invisible, walking at his own pace, no longer slowing down to wait for her as he used to, and Su Nian no longer stood complaining about him not walking slower like before.

It was still the same people, but what was lost was the entitlement.

Following his pace, she was a bit out of breath by the time they stood by the room door.

Shen Hanxiu pushed the door and went in, still without speaking. Su Nian hastily changed her shoes and followed him in, seeing him open a room door and about to close it, she thought she couldn’t let her late-night journey be a waste.

Dashing with the speed of a sprint, in a rush, she reached her hand into the door gap: "Wait..."

Shen Hanxiu naturally could not bear to crush her hand with the door, stopping his action of closing the door and looking down at her.

Stripped of her professional attire, she no longer had her usual strong façade; moreover, at this moment, her body was slightly shivering, her eyes cautious, and he really wanted to disregard everything and hold her like that in his arms.

He did not want to show his indifferent side to her, but now he had no choice.

"Um..." Su Nian thickened her face and squeezed through the door, looking up at him with eyes as sincere as possible: "There’s something I want to ask of you..." as if afraid of being kicked out, she promptly continued: "Su Zhen has a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow morning, and she hopes you can attend."

After speaking, Su Nian nervously awaited his reply, fearing his refusal, she added: "Just spare an hour, just show up for a bit... if not, even half an hour would do..."

She dared not say, Su Zhen wanted him as a father.

Silence ensued for a while, and nobody spoke; Su Nian felt too apprehensive to meet his gaze.

Then smiling ambiguously, he spoke, "You said Su Zhen is not my daughter, said you didn’t want me to interfere with your lives, and now you come to me for a parent meeting, don’t you find it funny?"

Su Nian clearly understood that her current actions were indeed shameless; if possible, she too wished not to appear before him anymore, especially in such a subservient manner.

If it weren’t for her daughter, Su Nian might have resolutely turned to say, "Forget it then." novelbuddy.cσ๓

But in reality, she tightened her hands, lowered her head, and found herself unable to utter a single counterargument.

Shen Hanxiu, looking at her this way, had many reproaches but could not bring himself to speak them out; facing her, he would ultimately still soften, regardless of how heartless she had been towards him, he couldn’t manage to be equally heartless towards her.
