Chapter 118: Chapter 94 Third Young Master Shen’s Qixi Engagement_2
Haohao came today, he wasn’t covered in bruises and crying like before, he simply said it wasn’t fun being at home alone and wanted to play with Su Zhen and Su Bao.
Su Nian didn’t even dare to think about what kind of life Haohao had been living before, a child who couldn’t take care of himself, left alone at home for long periods, how could Xue Qi be so heartless.
The next day, Haohao went with Su Zhen to audition, and the person in charge was very satisfied, immediately confirming Haohao.
Su Nian noticed after spending a day there that the kids’ shooting was just like playing, most of the shots taken were natural photos.
Today, these photos were taken in the Yijing Garden, the person in charge told the kids to just play well, the photographers captured their most natural moments.
The person in charge was very satisfied with the photos taken, finished work early, and said he would treat the kids to a big meal.
Beautiful clothes to wear, food to eat, and most importantly, earning money, Su Zhen couldn’t have been happier.
To make the children happy, the person in charge gave them a small amount of cash, and Su Zhen ecstatically said to Su Nian: “Mom, you don’t have to work anymore, look how much money I’ve made!”
Su Nian just patted her head and said: “Save the money for your studies.”
“I don’t want to study… I’ll buy lollipops with it, and when Uncle Shen comes back, I want to buy him a lot of delicious food!”
Su Nian smiled without saying a word, feeling a bit bitter inside.
She thought that Su Zhen would gradually forget Shen Hanxiu after he disappeared for a while, but during his absence, Su Zhen thought about her Uncle Shen every single day.
As the Qixi Festival approached day by day, there was still no sign of Shen Hanxiu, but the news of their engagement was escalating, and for the past few days, it filled the media, all talking about the Third Young Master Shen’s engagement on Qixi Festival.
Su Yalan single-handedly held a press conference announcing the location of their engagement and how lavish the engagement party would be, detailing the impressive engagement ring Shen Hanxiu had given her…
It felt like a rehearsal for an enviable wedding.
After the press conference, the serene, happy smile Su Yalan wore in front of the cameras disappeared instantly.
Upon seeing Liu Yuyuan, she anxiously asked: “Mom, what should we do? The engagement party is in two days, and we still don’t know where Ah Shu is.”
Deng Tonglian shook her head too: “Still can’t get through his phone… Right! What about Su Nian? She should know where Ah Shu is.”
Su Yalan sighed: “I’ve sent people to check, Ah Shu hasn’t been around her recently, and he hasn’t been seen at the company either, is Ah Shu deliberately avoiding us?”
“Don’t worry, Yalan, we’ll find a way.”
“Yeah, our Ah Shu isn’t someone who likes to evade, with things having escalated this much, he will take care of the overall situation.”
However, Deng Tonglian herself wasn’t sure, ever since Shen Hanxiu rebuked her in the hospital last time, she no longer dared to force him like before, moreover, even if she forced him, he wouldn’t listen to her.
She didn’t necessarily insist on her son marrying Su Yalan, as long as it wasn’t Su Nian, that unclean woman with two bastards, apart from this, she had no objections to whoever her son wanted to marry.
August was somewhat hot, but it did not quench everyone’s thirst for the Qixi Festival.
On Qixi Festival, which happened to fall on a Saturday, Su Nian sent the two children to Yi Zhou’s place early in the morning, then drove to Ziyan’s flower shop to help.
Ziyan’s health had deteriorated a lot after a difficult childbirth; she felt uncomfortable in too cold or too hot weather.
Su Nian did her best to help and take care of her more.
After learning sign language for a while, she could understand some simple signs, now communicating with Ziyan was much easier, at least Qiuqiu didn’t have to translate by their side.
After sending a customer away, Ziyan pulled Su Nian into an empty break room to ask: [Nian’nian, today he is getting engaged, are you okay?]
Su Nian smiled and shook her head: “Time has passed, feelings have faded, don’t worry about me.”
Ziyan, still worried, gestured: [But he is the father of your children…]
“I have my children, that’s enough.”
Ziyan actually wanted to ask why she divorced Shen Hanxiu back then, in her and Qiuqiu’s eyes, Shen Hanxiu had always treated her very well, almost spoiling her to the skies, they didn’t know what had happened between them to reach such an unrepairable point now.
Seeing Su Nian’s relieved smile, Ziyan was afraid that her inadvertent questions might stir up sad feelings in Su Nian, so she didn’t ask anything further.
On Qixi Festival, the flower shop was busier due to the high demand; all the employees were busy. Su Nian had also worked part-time at the flower shop during her school years, so she was still good at it now.
“Sister Niannian!” While Su Nian was introducing flowers to a customer, she saw Wei Lan walking in, followed by a man.
Though the two weren’t holding hands like other couples, one could still feel the romantic aura between them, especially from the beaming Wei Lan.
Su Nian handed the customer over to another employee, looked at Jing Zan standing behind Wei Lan, and couldn’t help but tease: “Are you here to buy flowers?”
Wei Lan turned and glanced at Jing Zan, her face blushing, she had never thought that her senior would buy her flowers.
She came to the flower shop only to see Su Nian, after being reminded by Su Nian, she became nervous, not knowing whether her senior would actually buy her flowers or not.
Having been married for almost a month, the total time they spent together added up to only about a week, it wasn’t clear whether their relationship had progressed or if it was just treading water, seeming a bit closer than before.
At least her senior would occasionally call to ask if she had eaten or send her a message before bedtime.
Such simple acts, hardly romantic, yet Wei Lan couldn’t help but feel happy.
Seeing Su Nian make this remark, Jing Zan didn’t express any opinion, and Wei Lan hurriedly said: “No, Sister Niannian, we just came to see you while passing by.”
Then Jing Zan, standing behind her, stepped forward and put his arm around Wei Lan’s shoulder, his voice gentle: “Pick the flowers you like.”
Wei Lan, caught off guard by his sudden decision, stammered: “Ah? No need, senior, we… we’re already married… no need to spend this money…”
Jing Zan looked down at her, caressing her head, and said, “It’s okay, go ahead and pick.”
“Well…” Wei Lan picked up a rose in front of her and shyly said: “Just this one then.”
Su Nian laughed: “Just one? Starting to be thrifty already, huh?”
Wei Lan playfully glared at her: “Sister Niannian!”
Amid the laughter, no one noticed the absent-minded, perfunctory look in Jing Zan’s eyes.
