Chapter 211: Chapter 157 Mom, you won’t be able to get married !
Deng Tonglian heard Shen Hanxiu agreed and felt incredibly excited yet incredulous.
She never expected him to accept so readily; it seems he really has taken a fancy to He Gui.
Only then did He Gui boldly look at Shen Hanxiu, and provocatively glanced at Su Nian, but Su Nian just bowed her head and did not catch the challenge in her gaze; one might even say she deliberately ignored it.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go back first.”
Having obtained the desired result, Deng Tonglian didn’t dare to bother Shen Hanxiu further. If he changed his mind for any disliking, it would be a total loss for her. Thus, she pulled He Gui, “Alright, son, you’re busy, we’ll head out first.”
She looked at Su Nian and her daughter, wanting to berate them, but ultimately left without saying anything.
As long as her son is willing to take this step, there’s a chance to edge out Su Nian.
After Deng Tonglian left, Su Zhen pouted unhappily, looked at Shen Hanxiu with grievance, and asked, “Uncle Shen, don’t you want my mom anymore? You slept holding her hand, you can’t like other women now!”
“Kids shouldn’t talk nonsense, hurry up and drink your milk, I’ll have Uncle Liang pick you up to play at his place later.”
“I don’t want to go!” Su Zhen puffed up her eyes, glaring at Su Nian with a ‘why don’t you get it?’ expression. Uncle Shen is about to be taken away, and she still doesn’t know to say some sweet words.
“Mom, you won’t be able to get married !”
Uncle Shen is such an excellent man, and more importantly, he is their real daddy! Why doesn’t mom know how to make a good impression?
“Drink quickly, after you’re done, mom has to go to work.”
Su Zhen turned her head away and burrowed into Shen Hanxiu’s embrace, stubbornly saying, “Uncle, you can’t abandon my mom and go out to play with other women!”
Shen Hanxiu glanced at Su Nian, the four-year-old daughter could sense the crisis, what does it mean for Su Nian to remain unresponsive?
“Get ready, the meeting is about to start.” Shen Hanxiu, holding Su Zhen, stood up, naturally instructing Su Nian as if their relationship was merely that of a boss and subordinate.
Watching Shen Hanxiu carry a little girl into the meeting room, although it was everyone’s first time seeing such a scene, they didn’t find it strange at all. The whole city knew that Third Young Master Shen doted on Su Nian’s children to the sky.
In such an occasion, Su Zhen was obediently quiet, sitting on Shen Han’s lap, seriously watching the projector, even if she didn’t understand anything.
Su Nian was temporarily arranged by Old Demon Shen Hanxiu to do a presentation; she was now engrossed in organizing documents.
In a different room, with five or six computers set up, on each monitor was a complex chart, but the ones seated before the computers were two four-year-old children.
“Su Bao, I’m done over here.”
Su Bao’s small hands tapped on the computer, “Mm, I’m almost done as well.”
Li Yihao looked at Su Bao and asked with muted concern, “Will they get angry if we do this?”
Su Bao continued typing on the keyboard unfazed, fearlessly stating, “He won’t know who did it. Even if he finds out, all he can do is swallow his broken teeth.”
Haohao didn’t understand but didn’t ask further, his gaze fixed on the computer screen’s progress bar, which had reached ninety percent…
At that moment, in the meeting room, Su Nian stepped onto the stage with her folder, inserted a USB drive, and began to report on her department’s status.
Shen Hanxiu, holding Su Zhen, both had their gazes unwaveringly on Su Nian onstage, while Su Nian was merely focused on her explanation, speaking earnestly, her charm indescribable.
“Uncle, is my mom very impressive? She’s beautiful and knows how to do everything.”
Hearing Su Zhen’s whisper, Shen Hanxiu looked down at her, chuckled softly, and uttered a sound of agreement.
“Then why does uncle still want to play with other women? Don’t you want my mom?”
“It’s your mom who doesn’t want uncle.”
“That’s not true; it’s uncle who’s not serious enough! Girls are more reserved; you need to be more proactive!”
Shen Hanxiu: “…” Was he not proactive enough? He felt he had sacrificed all his dignity for Su Nian; he’s never been so proactive in his life.
And Su Nian wasn’t one for posturing; after he’s come this far, why won’t she accept him?
Just as Shen Hanxiu was deep in thought, drifting away, a low murmur of surprise suddenly reached his ears—the entire meeting room’s voices hushed, eyes flitting between Su Nian and Shen Hanxiu, some fixed intently on the projector displaying a [Sensual][Extravagant] scene…
The sound of Su Nian’s voice had ceased; only then did Shen Hanxiu snap back to reality, looked up, and was momentarily taken aback before watching the big screen indifferently.
