My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

Chapter 188: Chapter 138: When the Time Comes, You’ll Beg My Mom to Marry You

The person in charge put the safety harness on the child and ushered the child’s body toward the outside of the bridge. It was only then that Su Zhen reacted, holding onto the person’s hand without letting go: “Wuu, don’t want that! I’ll fall down!”

“You won’t, the uncles will protect you, you just need to lay down as if you were sleeping.”

“No! Uncle Shen, hurry up and pick me up, wuu~ they’re going to throw me down to death…”

Su Zhen cried loudly, and Liang Yizhou and Shen Hanxiu almost moved at the same time.

Liang Yizhou spoke first: “Let’s bring the child up first, comfort her, we can’t shoot this way.”

Shen Hanxiu, without saying a word, reached out to take Su Zhen, holding her in his arms and tenderly wiping away her tears: “Shall we not shoot anymore, okay?”

Su Zhen, clinging to his neck, mumbled unclearly: “Wuu~ so scary…”

Su Nian felt that Shen Hanxiu was spoiling her too much, which would make her spoiled.

Moreover, the entire group had come up with difficulty, and to say no to shooting just like that would cause trouble for the company, and Liang Yizhou would be put in a difficult position.

“Zhenzhen, isn’t this the job you like?”

Su Nian tried to convince Su Zhen, but before Su Zhen could speak, Shen Hanxiu said: “A child over three years old should just play, what job? As her mother, you’re letting a three-year-old earn money for you?”

Su Nian glared at him and took Su Zhen into her arms.

No wonder they say that rich people’s children can’t withstand hardships. It turns out that it is this kind of spoiling that causes it.

“Zhenzhen, don’t you like being a little model? For something you like, you need to persist, this is just a small difficulty, we just need to be a bit braver.”

Su Zhen gradually calmed down, her little hand wiping away tears: “But others are scared…”

“Everyone has something they are scared of, even big brother Haohao is scared, but you see, he didn’t cry.”

Su Zhen glanced at Haohao, pouting and not speaking, as if she was struggling internally.

Su Nian knew that forcing a three-year-old child to do this was somewhat cruel, but this was growth.

What the adults needed to teach her was not how to escape, but how to be strong and brave.

While everyone was waiting for Su Zhen to speak, the always quiet Su Bao walked over, holding Su Zhen’s hand and saying: “If I accompany you, you won’t be afraid.”

Su Nian smiled in relief. Although this child was a bit reclusive, she always brought many surprises.

“Brother is with you, and mommy is also watching you by the side, don’t be afraid.”

Shen Hanxiu stood by the side and realized that his way of parenting was indeed not correct. This foolish woman, despite being silly, spoke reasonably.

Su Zhen nestled in her mom’s arms for a while, then, following Su Bao, took his hand and seemed willing to give it a try.

Su Bao set an example, putting on the safety harness and going first.

Su Zhen watched nervously. After seeing Su Bao succeed, she gained a little more courage.

But from beginning to end, she kept nagging: “If I fall down, Uncle Shen, you must catch me.”

Su Zhen closed her eyes tightly, her body slowly lying flat, only a pair of little feet rested on the bridge plank.

Haohao stood by without speaking, his eyebrows furrowed, he looked up at Xue Qi, who gave a nod.

Haohao’s gaze fell on Su Zhen, who clutched the person in charge’s hand with her eyes closed, afraid and yet appearing so cute.

Mommy had asked him to pretend to accidentally push her later… but he didn’t want to, he was afraid she would get hurt.

But mommy also said that if he didn’t do it, she would leave him alone in that room forever…

Once Su Zhen’s position was set, it was his turn.

Compared to Su Zhen who had been yelling nonstop, Haohao was very quiet, or rather his mind wasn’t on this at all.

His position was right next to Su Zhen, hanging from the rope lying flat, lying next to Su Zhen, both holding hands.

Su Zhen had already overcome her fear, even turning her head to smile at him.

If he pulled her hand now, she would fall down, and even if she wasn’t injured, she would be frightened into tears.

Remembering when she put a bandage on him when he was hurt, his lonely life became colorful because of her, he didn’t want to do this…

If he had to hurt Su Zhen to live with mommy, then he might as well live alone, he was used to it anyway…

Xue Qi stood by the side, indicating with her eyes to Haohao, but until the shooting was over, Haohao was just holding Zhenzhen’s hand gently.

He knew he was going to be scolded again, but he didn’t want to trade his happiness for Su Zhen, especially when he saw her adorable smile.

The effect of the shoot was very good, the natural theme was very prominent and creative.

The two-day shoot ended and the day came for school registration.

That day, Shen Hanxiu did not miss out.

The two kids were always told at school that they had no daddy, but now Su Zhen, sitting in Shen Hanxiu’s arm, clinging to his neck, looked mighty proud.

She wished the whole school knew that she has a handsome daddy and that she and Su Bao weren’t fatherless children.

After registering, as promised, Su Zhen had her lunch at KFC, holding a bucket larger than her head, eating and saying, “Mommy, I saw little uncle yesterday.”

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since they visited the aunt and Carey, only hearing from Uncle Cheng that the aunt had surgery and was already discharged from the hospital, temporarily stable.

“Where did you see him?”

“He’s working at Uncle Liang’s too, I’ll show you!” While saying that, she rummaged through her little backpack and took out a magazine. On the cover was the handsome and stylish Carey. It was seeing him that made Su Zhen decide to spend money on this magazine.

“Mom, look! This is little uncle! Little uncle is so handsome!”

Shen Hanxiu looked at Su Zhen as if seeing a younger Su Nian pestering him incessantly, coyly asking, “Han Zisheng, why are you so good-looking?”

It seems that crushing on someone is hereditary.

Thinking that today was also the start of the school term for Carey, who was in financial difficulty with his mother, and strong-willed as he was, Carey would not ask anyone for money.

After dinner, Shen Hanxiu had to return to the company for work, so Su Nian took the two children with her to check on Carey, and asked Su Yali at Su Yuecheng’s for her current address, then drove there.

They were living in a house purchased by Su Yuecheng, located just behind Jinxiu Garden.

Following the address from the text, they rang the doorbell.

The door was opened by Su Yali: “Xiao Nian, why are you here?”

“Just wanted to see you and the kids, how’s your health now?”

Su Yali invited them in to sit down; they were in the middle of dinner, only having a soup with green vegetables and pork slices.

Seeing visitors, Carey also put down his chopsticks.

Ever since the last time Carey ignored Su Zhen, she had been somewhat afraid of him, standing beside Su Bao, obediently just murmured a greeting: “Little uncle.”

Her voice was so soft it melted the heart.

Carey looked at her but remained silent.

“The kid doesn’t like talking to people,” said Su Yali with a smile.

Su Nian felt sorry for the lonely child. Every child deserved a happy childhood, but because of the grudges between adults, they were maturing too soon.

After they finished their meal, Su Nian helped clean up in the kitchen.

“Auntie, I heard from Uncle Cheng that the hospital recommended you get admitted, why don’t you listen to him?”

Su Yali sighed softly.

“Auntie, don’t worry about the medical expenses, the hospital belongs to Uncle Cheng!”

“Xiao Nian, it’s not about the money…” She paused before continuing: “I can’t leave Carey behind. If I get hospitalized, not only can I not take care of him, but he will also have to take care of me. Right now, I can still move around and take care of things, so I want to spend every possible day with him…”

“Auntie, you’re wrong to think that. If you don’t comply with the treatment, your condition will only get worse. If you truly want to spend more time with Carey, you should listen to Uncle Cheng. Carey also doesn’t want you to neglect your health for his sake.”

Su Yali sighed deeply and pondered Su Nian’s words.

Her unfortunate child had never had many good days by her side. She wanted to give him the best she could, but fate was always so unfair.

“Auntie, did Carey register at the school?”

“He did, and he paid the tuition himself. He said a company hired him as a model, and he earned some money.”

“Su Zhen is also a model there. I have a friend working there, so you don’t have to worry about Carey. During the time you’re in the hospital, I’ll take care of him.”

“How can I let you do that? It’s too much trouble for you, taking care of your own children and working…”

Su Nian smiled and said, “Taking care of two kids is the same as taking care of one more; it’s just one extra pair of chopsticks. It’s no bother. Besides, Carey is understanding, you really don’t need to worry. His school isn’t far from here; I can pick him up when I get Su Zhen and Su Bao.”

“Xiao Nian, you’re so considerate…”

“Don’t say that, Auntie. You can’t delay treating your illness. I’ll take you to the hospital later, and Carey can come home with me. Don’t worry about here; Uncle Cheng will take care of you in the hospital, you’ll be fine.”

Su Nian was right. If she didn’t go to the hospital, she might only have a few months left with her child. Although her illness couldn’t be cured, undergoing treatment might prolong her life a little, allowing her to see her child a bit more.

Su Yali agreed to Su Nian’s arrangement. After arranging the hospital room, before leaving, Su Yali gave Carey a lot of instructions, but he, like an impatient adult, said, “I know, Mom, rest well.”

“Okay, I’ll rest. You be good at school, and listen to Sister Xiao Nian.”

After returning, they ran into Shen Hanxiu downstairs.

Looking at Su Nian bringing another child, he teased her: “Are you planning to open a daycare?”

It didn’t matter whose children they were; she brought them home out of compassion, never minding the trouble.

“Uncle Shen, this is the little uncle,” Su Zhen happily said, holding Shen Hanxiu’s hand and introducing Carey.

Shen Hanxiu smiled and picked up Su Zhen, “You’ll be four in a few days; what gift do you want?”

“Uncle, how did you know about my birthday?”

He glanced at Su Nian: “Your mom told me.”

Su Nian cursed inwardly; did she really have so much free time to tell him these things?

Su Zhen giggled with her hand covering her mouth and whispered in Shen Hanxiu’s ear: “Do you know when my mom’s birthday is?”

Shen Hanxiu also whispered back: “I know.”

“I haven’t given Mom the wedding dress you bought yet. On my mom’s birthday, I’ll let her wear that beautiful dress, and then you can ask my mom to marry you.”

Listening to Su Zhen’s plan, Shen Hanxiu thought, if only the thoughts of adults could be as simple as those of children.
