When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 519: I Went Crazy for You in Paris (Part 9)
The golden afternoon sunlight poured down from above. Su Anle looked at Sheng Jianan. He was clearly more composed than three years ago, and she was also more sophisticated than three years ago. But for some reason, at this moment, Su Anle felt they both seemed to have returned to sixteen or seventeen.
Back to that time when they were burdened with heavy schoolwork but still full of youthful exuberance.
Strangely, in the last two days in Paris, Su Anle felt as if her relationship with Sheng Jianan had suddenly become much closer.
Although she had compromised, agreeing to stay by Sheng Jianan’s side and give their relationship a try, this compromise included her speechless reaction to Sheng Jianan’s relentless pestering and her own helplessness at not having been able to let him go.
Even though she agreed, the three years of emptiness were still there. Su Anle could still clearly feel the gap and chasm between them.
But now, suddenly, it seemed like all of that had vanished, as if three years were just a business trip for both of them, and now it was a time when a brief separation made the reunion even sweeter.
Back in B City from Paris, Su Weiyi seemed the happiest because she could see many little girls who looked just like her, and she suddenly had many uncles and aunts who loved her dearly.
Although she was shy around strangers, little girls are easily coaxed. Whether it was Qi Cheng, Bai Bing, or Zhou Chengze, Mu Yunfan, they all didn’t have their own children, and Su Weiyi was the only child. Everyone seemed to start pampering her unanimously.
With ten days’ worth of work piled up, Sheng Jianan started bustling around as soon as he returned. The new apartment he bought was quite far from Shengshi, and sometimes after working overtime, he wouldn’t get home until after midnight.
Su Anle would always wait for him, but it often happened like now, before she could even pour him a glass of water, Sheng Jianan would fall asleep on the couch.
Sighing helplessly, she went over and squatted down in front of Sheng Jianan: "Wake up, go sleep on the bed."
Sheng Jianan hummed groggily a couple of times and then fell silent again. Su Anle muttered under her breath, "You can’t earn all the money, why tire yourself out so much."
Whether her voice disturbed his sleep, or he just woke up from his groggy state, Sheng Jianan, eyes still closed, mumbled back, "Earn money to support my wife. My wife deserves the best."
Su Anle: "..."
Su Weiyi went to kindergarten, but after less than a week, Su Anle noticed the little girl became quiet and withdrawn. Her personality was always like this, like a speech-impaired child when faced with strangers.
Su Anle felt this wasn’t good for the child’s development, so she sent her there, but seeing the little girl grow unhappier day by day, finally one day Su Weiyi fainted because a classmate in her class scared her with a gecko, and this made Su Anle finally give up on sending her to kindergarten.
Since Sheng Jianan had always been very busy, Su Anle didn’t tell him about these things. It wasn’t until half a month later that Sheng Jianan found out.
"Why didn’t you tell me?"
"You were busy, it’s already resolved, and I can handle such minor things."
Sheng Jianan furrowed his brows, coaxed Su Weiyi to sleep, turned around, took Su Anle’s hand, and walked to the living room, looking deeply at her: "Protecting you and the child is my responsibility. She’s our daughter."
"She..."
Su Anle opened her mouth intending to say "isn’t," but seeing Sheng Jianan’s expression, she swallowed it back, not out of fear of hurting him, but because Sheng Jianan had always believed Su Weiyi was his daughter. Denying it multiple times was useless, so she just let it be.
