Chapter 51: Chapter 51 It seems to be a virtue worth promoting
Su Nian was dragged into the car by Shen Hanxiu, and she finally vented her resentment: “Shen Hanxiu! Can you please not interfere in my affairs?”
Shen Hanxiu started the car and replied: “Does it hinder you from remarrying? I just see you lowering your standards so much, it humiliates the marriage we had. If you are going to remarry, at least find someone better than me.”
“Does President Shen know what being self-righteous means?”
“It seems to be a virtue worth promoting.”
When Su Nian decided not to argue with him, his voice came calmly: “Are wet shoes comfortable to wear? Still reluctant to take them off.”
Su Nian was startled, then looked out the window pretending not to hear him, but her toes curled inside her leather shoes.
Obviously, wet shoes are uncomfortable, but she hadn’t found someone willing to carry her without her shoes yet.
Shen Hanxiu’s voice did not rise again, and Su Nian thought he was not going to bother with her.
Just when she was about to feel disappointed, the car stopped, and it seemed to be in front of a large department store with “Sheng Han Department Store” written on it.
Thinking he was there to run an errand, Su Nian stayed in the car without moving, but he opened the car door and called her out with an umbrella in hand.
Su Nian turned her head to the front and said, “I’m too full to move; President Shen, you go ahead.”
Shen Hanxiu quietly looked at her for a few seconds, then shut the car door.
After the car door closed, Su Nian pressed her face against the window, watching him walking straight into the department store.
On this man, the word “old” does not seem to apply; time has only added to his maturity and charm.
A better man… If that incident hadn’t occurred, he truly would have been the best man she had ever met, up to now.
Checking the time on her phone and seeing it was still early, and not knowing how long he will take, Su Nian took off her shoes, curled up, and leaned her head against the car door to rest.
When Shen Hanxiu returned, he opened the car door, and Su Nian almost fell out; he quickly blocked her with his body and bent down to ask softly, “Tired?”
Su Nian positioned herself steadily and asked, “That was quick?”
“How long do you think it would take? Try these on.”
Su Nian looked down and saw a brand-new pair of high heels next to her feet, her heart immediately tightened.
So he had come to buy her shoes?
She didn’t know how to react, whether to refuse or to gladly accept, so she froze there, felt the car door close again, and then he went around to the driver’s side and drove away.
Su Nian stealthily glanced at him, then quietly slipped on the new shoes.
They fit perfectly, comfortable and warm.
Although she couldn’t fathom his intentions, not knowing if his kindness had an ulterior motive, she was moved at that moment.
On the way back to the office, neither of them spoke. Lucky for her, she caught the elevator right as she got out of the car without waiting for him and immediately closed the door.
The numbers on the two elevators rose one after the other, stopping seconds apart on the same floor.
Shen Hanxiu watched her sprint into the office and followed her in.
He had just reached the doorway when he saw Lin Weilan happily running towards Su Nian with a rose in hand: “Sister Niannian! Song Yang is so romantic! He sent flowers again!”
Shen Hanxiu paused at the door—flowers again?! Song Yang?
His gaze swept around; that Song Yang had not returned yet.
Did this foolish woman really like these tricks that deceive little girls?
Shen Hanxiu did not speak, turned around, and immediately made a phone call…
