One Thousand and Forty-Six Pampering (II)

——

Shu Nian and Ye Yan passed by Xiang Muyang.

After walking out of the hospital, Shu Nian looked at the blue sky outside, and the heaviness in his heart finally dissipated a lot.

Now, she is finally free...

"What did you just hold that made Mrs. Xiang so scared?" Shu Nian asked the doubt in his heart.

"The Xiang family's accounts have not been very clean in recent years. Mrs. Xiang has a guilty conscience, so of course she is afraid. Although I gave these things to them today, if they keep doing this, something will happen sooner or later."

Shu Nian didn't know anything about Xiang's affairs. She has never intervened, so she doesn't know the secret behind it. He just glanced at Ye Yan and said, "You are also in business. From now on, nothing can happen to you."

Yeyan looked at her and smiled.

after……

He liked these two words very much.

Shu Nian was a little embarrassed by his smile. Just when he was about to say something, suddenly——

"Nian Nian..." A woman's voice came at this moment.

Shu Nian's face turned pale.

Ye Yan clearly felt that her originally delicate palms were much tighter. He followed the voice suspiciously and saw a middle-aged woman standing not too far away looking at her. The other person looked like he was living a prosperous life, with a gentle expression, elegant clothes, and his hair was tied back and neatly combed. The other party just looked at her, her eyes already red. It was as if he wanted to step forward, but was too afraid to step forward.

"Ye Yan, let's go." Shu Nian held Ye Yan's hand and subconsciously wanted to escape.

"She looks like she'd really like to talk to you."

"She and I have nothing to talk about."

At this moment, the middle-aged woman had walked over.

"Niannian, it's really you!" Ming Wanjun looked at her with sadness and surprise, "I thought I was dazzled before."

Shu Nian forced himself not to cry.

"What's the matter with the injury on your face?" Ming Wanjun raised her hand.

Shu Nian separated her hands, turned his face away, and said lightly: "It's okay."

"Young man, can we talk alone?" Ming Wanjun looked at Ye Yan begging. Ye Yan glanced at Shu Nian and nodded without much hesitation, "I'll drive the car over and wait for you at the door."

After that, he shook Shu Nian's hand reassuringly, nodded politely to the other party, and then left.

——

Once Ye Yan left, only Shu Nian and Ming Wanjun were left. Shu Nian still didn't want to take a good look at her. Once, she wanted to see her so much that she kept thinking of her in her dreams. However, when this person actually appeared in front of her, she didn't have the courage to take a good look at her.

"Is that young man just now your boyfriend?" Ming Wanjun was very nervous and carefully searched for the topic. "He looks very nice. Where is he from? What does he do? Is he good to you?"

Shu Nian pinched his palm tightly with his fingers, and after a while, he said softly: "Mrs. Ning, these are my private matters. I'm sorry, I have no comment."

Mrs. Ning...

When Ming Wanjun heard these three words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. She turned pale and looked at Shu Nian in disbelief, "Niannian, what did you call me...?"

"Otherwise, what should I call you?" Shu Nian looked at her with a smile, laughing so hard that he even shed tears, "You are Ning Meng's 'mother' now, is it right to call her Mrs. Ning?"

"I am your mother! Every year, no matter what, I am your biological mother! You can't do this to me!" Ming Wanjun was heartbroken, her voice trembling.

Those words of 'Mom' also made Shu Nian's heart full of holes. She gritted her teeth tightly, said nothing, and just walked forward. Ming Wanjun followed, "Nian Nian, listen to mom... Mom apologizes to you, Nian Nian."

"No, I don't need it!" She raised her chin stubbornly, but her tears kept flowing out disobediently.

the other side.

Ye Yan sat in the passenger seat and looked at Shu Nian in confusion.

That's how she is...

Always be so rational, so clear about love and hate...even if you are facing the person who is your closest relative at this moment.

Ye Yan suddenly became afraid. If one day, she knew that he had hurt her, and knew that everything she had now was caused by him, with her character, I am afraid... she would never want to see him again in this life! Just like she did to Mu Yang just now, she is doing the same to her mother now...

Thinking of this, Ye Yan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, feeling a tight pain in his chest.

But seeing Shu Nian bursting into tears there, he finally couldn't help it and got out of the car. He walked towards her, opened his arms and hugged her. Shu Nian leaned into his arms and buried his face directly in his chest, tears only willing to flow in his arms. Except for Ye Yan, she didn't want anyone to see herself in such a fragile state.

"Sorry, madam, Shu Nian is not very emotionally stable. I have to take her away first."

Ming Wanjun's heart was full of reluctance, and she didn't even have time to ask carefully about the injuries on Shu Nian's face. But seeing Ye Yan protecting her like this, she felt somewhat relieved.

"If you have anything important in the future, you can contact me directly." Ye Yan handed his business card to Ming Wanjun, "Goodbye."

Ming Wanjun was so grateful that she took the business card and said thank you several times.

Ye Yan picked up Shu Nian and walked to the car. Shu Nian didn't say anything, just shed tears silently. The whole day today was probably the most tears she had ever shed in her life.

But, okay...

Fortunately, she is not alone...she still has Ye Yan...

Ye Yan carried her to the passenger seat, took off the seat belt and buckled her before returning to the driver's seat.

After getting in the car, he found that Shu Nian's eyes were unconsciously cast on the figure outside the car. However, it only took a second before he pulled away and stopped looking.

Ye Yan asked, "Are you leaving?"

"……Um."

"Then I'll drive."

"Yeah." Shu Nian nodded again.

Yeyan then started the car. Shu Nian leaned against the car window and kept his eyes on the rearview mirror, staring at the slim and shrinking figure in the mirror. He deliberately slowed down the car, but no matter how slow he was, he could no longer see him.

Shu Nian closed his eyes, his eyelashes still trembling fiercely.

Ye Yan reached out and held her hand tightly.

He finally knew why she was so sad today.

"Where do you want to go?" Ye Yan asked her.

Shu Nian wiped away his tears and looked at him sideways, "Why did you give her your business card?"

"Because..." Ye Yan paused, turned his face, and looked at her, "She is your mother and your family."

Shu Nian opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Finally, she sighed and whispered: "Yeyan, let's find a place to have a few drinks, okay?"

Shu Nian originally thought that Yeyan would take him to a bar or something, but in the end, Yeyan just went to the canteen to buy a dozen beers and parked the car directly by the river.
