My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 174 - 128: Moving Over with the Child
Chapter 174: Chapter 128: Moving Over with the Child
Shen Hanxiu remained silent the whole way; he didn’t wait for her after changing his shoes and went into the house first.
Su Nian stood at the door for a moment, then took a pair of slippers out of the shoe cabinet to change into. She took a couple of steps and then stopped, zipping up her jacket all the way before approaching Shen Hanxiu. Safety first!
Shen Hanxiu poured himself a glass of water from the dispenser and turned around to look at her. It was the peak of summer, and not only was she wrapped up in her jacket, but she had also zipped it up so high, despite the evening being somewhat warm and stuffy.
To others, she must look ill, but he clearly saw through her cautious thoughts.
Su Nian looked at him somewhat cautiously, keeping a distance of three meters. He drank the water, appearing indifferent, without too much emotional change on his face. It was hard to tell if he was in a good or bad mood, and Su Nian didn’t dare to speak rashly.
She saw his Adam’s apple move up and down as he swallowed half a glass of water and then put the cup down. It was only then that he looked at her: “Come up.”
Saying that, he had already started walking up the stairs. Su Nian hesitated for two seconds before following him.
Last time, because she was drunk, she had been here once, so she wasn’t surprised to see their wedding photos in the corridor; she simply followed him upstairs in silence.
In the corridor, he strode confidently ahead, while she followed with her head down and small steps. He suddenly stopped, and Su Nian almost bumped into him before raising her head.
She saw him looking down at her, his gaze moving from her face to his own clothes, and after a few seconds he asked: “Aren’t you hot?”
Hot! She was sweating!
But Su Nian’s first reaction was to vigorously shake her head and blurt out: “Not hot!”
In the dim light, it seemed as if she saw a hint of a smile on his face, but before she could see it clearly, he turned his head and opened the door in front of him and then turned on the room lights.
Su Nian peeked inside; the layout of the room was clear at a glance—it was a children’s room.
She remembered that this room didn’t exist the last time she came…
The decor Shen Hanxiu had someone do was naturally very beautiful. Compared to the one at Yijing, this one seemed even more tender. The room wasn’t big, with two small beds placed in it, two little desks, and shelves filled with toys for a boy and a girl…
While Su Nian was staring in a daze, Shen Hanxiu spoke up: “Move over here with the kids, and the matter with Song Ziyuan will be resolved tomorrow morning.”
Su Nian was stunned, never having expected that this was his condition.
She had only moved out recently, plus the reason she didn’t stay at Yijing in the first place was for the sake of the children. Moving back now would be pointless, right?
If she had previously been uncertain whether he was really in cahoots with Ye Jiayao, his lying to her last time about not knowing Ye Jiayao’s whereabouts while consistently having the scent of Ye Jiayao’s hospital perfume on him made her dare not trust him again. How could she dare to put the two children at risk?
“No way…”
Shen Hanxiu turned his head to look at her and spoke with justification: “You said anything would be fine as long as it’s not remarrying and you can do it.”
Su Nian thought for a moment and found a far-fetched excuse: “That only applies under the premise of remarrying; without that premise, we can’t live together!”
Shen Hanxiu smiled, leaned toward her, and touched her zipper: “If you don’t move in, you just need to spend one night with me.”
Before Shen Hanxiu finished speaking, Su Nian hastily stepped back and stuttered: “That… that’s not okay either!”
Watching her tightly grasp her collar, Shen Hanxiu moved his hand away and put it in his pocket, looking at her leisurely: “If nothing is acceptable, what can you offer to negotiate with?”
Su Nian really wanted to turn and run, but remembered she would still need to face it all later, so she switched to a pleading look and quietly probed: “…Is there a third option?”
Shen Hanxiu leaned against the door frame and spoke indifferently: “There is—go downstairs, turn left, and take your time leaving.”
Su Nian: “…”
If she could leave, she would have done so already.
“I help you take care of things first, and you’re afraid I’ll go back on my word. If I let you spend the night first, what if you renege?”

Moving back in was definitely out of the question, and she didn’t want to sleep with him either. But between the two choices, she would still choose the latter; after all, they had slept together before and it wouldn’t be any loss. Besides, some things can be improvised!
Shen Hanxiu raised his eyebrows at her: “You’re choosing the second option?”
“I… I need to think it over!” She had nothing right now and needed to buy some self-defense weapons before coming back. As she spoke, she also handed him the folder: “This is the evidence of Tang Shaosheng’s domestic abuse; I’ll trouble you to ensure Ziyan can successfully file for divorce.”
Shen Hanxiu lazily reached out to take it: “How long will you need to think?”
“I’ll give you a call when I’ve decided!”
