My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 229 - 168 Children Need a Father_2

"Will it be inconvenient?"

"If you trust me, just follow me with peace of mind." He skillfully steered the wheel without even glancing at her, yet it stirred something unusual in Wei Lan’s heart.

Although she had been married to Jing Zan, her experience with men was still pitifully limited.

There had been too many things happening, and her heart was tired; it would be nice to have a warm place to rest.

The car stopped right outside the house.

"We’re here."

Wei Lan, who was dozy, came to her senses and pushed the car door open while looking around.

The quiet courtyard was surrounded by detached villas, not looking too deserted. If she remembered correctly, this should be Yijing Garden, right?

Thinking of how wealthy Shen Hanxiu was, it wasn’t surprising that his personal assistant could afford such a big villa here.

Seeing him open the door, Wei Lan hurriedly followed inside. Before she had time to take in the decor, a pair of men’s slippers was placed at her feet: "Just make do with these for now."

"Oh, thank you." She looked around the room, feeling ashamed of its cleanliness even as a girl.

Standing awkwardly in the living room, she watched him go upstairs and thought he would just leave her there, but the next minute, she heard footsteps descending.

He approached her and handed her a white bathrobe: "Take a hot shower and rest, it’s getting late. Walk straight to the bathroom, and just call me if you need anything."

"Okay..."

She filled the tub with hot water and lay down in it, feeling immediately more relaxed.

Sister Niannian got divorced and still led a happy life with two children, and Qiuqiu faced such things at her wedding but still managed to let go. It’s just a divorce, after all, no big deal.

She even felt grateful for this marriage, which had made her see clearly the man she had been obsessing over. At least she could now let go of Jing Zan.

After the bath, the sky outside was already brightening.

"You can rest in this room. Do you want something to eat?"

Wei Lan shook her head quickly, not wanting to trouble him anymore.

Yang Zichen didn’t dare to overstep bounds, even if she was just wearing a robe, and from his angle, he could see the beautiful curve of her figure, he just took a look and then helped her close the door.

Wei Lan locked the door from the inside before shamelessly examining the room’s furnishings. The room was white and looked comfortable.

But this room seemed like it was frequently used by him; there was even a bottle of perfume on the nightstand, which Wei Lan bent over to smell, reminiscent of the fresh scent on his clothes.

She had expected a man like him to prefer cooler colors, yet the room seemed quite homely.

Her gaze fell upon the clock on the wall, it was almost six o’clock, and in two hours, she would have nothing to do with Jing Zan...

Dawn spread over Hai City’s sky. Shen Han, looking at the time, pushed open Su Nian’s room door.

She was still sound asleep inside, having only slept for three hours last night after catching a flight, a mere third of her normal sleep.

Shen Han took out a paper bag from the closet. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The slight noise woke the woman in the bed.

Worried about the parent-teacher meeting, Su Nian hadn’t slept deeply and saw Shen Han approaching when she opened her eyes.

Still blurry about whether it was reality or a dream, she glanced outside the window. It was still pitch-black, so it must be a dream.

Shen Han knew she wasn’t fully awake by the adorably dazed way she looked at him, so he just threw the bag at her: "Do you want to skip your daughter’s parent-teacher meeting?"

That woman finally snapped out of her grogginess, only reacting after Shen Han had left the room.

Did he mean that he had agreed to go to the parent-teacher meeting?

Without time to doubt, she picked up the bag he’d thrown, hurriedly changed clothes, washed up, and left. He was already dressed neatly, and he was wearing a wool coat similar to the one on her...

Su Nian thought to herself that all wool coats look similar, it must be a coincidence.

Short on time, they rushed to the airport without eating, and as soon as the car stopped, the announcement for boarding came through the speakers.

Shen Han moved briskly, and Su Nian had to run to catch up, panting.

He never waited for her, nor did he look back to see if she was following. Once on the plane, he didn’t ask if she wanted to eat.

Well, he was such a proud man; after hearing those heartless words from her, he was the last person to want to bother with her!

Su Nian thought she’d endure it, there’d be food after landing. However, halfway through the flight, her stomach betrayed her by growling.

She felt embarrassed and was sure he heard it.

"Um... are you hungry?" Su Nian asked him first.

Shen Han gave her a stern look, maintaining a serious face, but thought to himself: Good, she’s starting to speak up.

Without waiting for his reply, a flight attendant came by, and Su Nian hurriedly called out: "Please bring me some breakfast, thank you..." then turned to ask Shen Han again: "Do you want any?"

The man coldly tossed out two words: "Not hungry."

Su Nian pursed her lips, confirming she only needed one portion, and then quietly and carefully ate, afraid that any louder chewing might upset the ’gramps’ sitting beside her.

What she didn’t know was that the ’gramps’ was not focused on the newspaper at all; his attention was entirely on the sound of her eating.

Full from eating, sleepiness kicked in. Su Nian, lacking sleep, dozed off against the window.

The plane landed just at eight, in time for her children’s parent-teacher meeting.

The car hadn’t stopped yet when Su Nian saw Su Zhen leading Su Bao waiting expectantly at the school gate. Su Bao looked indifferent, as if it made no difference whether a parent came or not, while Su Zhen seemed anxious, afraid that if she didn’t see Su Nian soon, the little girl might burst into tears at the gate.

Shen Han also saw the two children immediately, both clad in the same black padded jackets, looking well-behaved, and Su Zhen’s untidy ponytail was probably done by Su Bao.

Such adorable children, without a complete family, was truly regrettable.

Turning to see Su Nian opening the car door, Shen Han suddenly spoke up, abruptly stating: "Children need a father."

It wasn’t a discussion, nor a question, but a simple statement, carrying an air of irrefutable command.
