My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 You’re still as heartless as before!

Recalling past events, Su Nian suddenly spaced out for a moment, then mimicked his icy tone: “Shen Hanxiu, stop bringing up the past. One shouldn’t live in the past.”

“Isn’t the past also part of what one has lived through?” His voice was soft, and Su Nian seemed to see a hint of desolation in his unruffled eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

Does he mean that the matters of the past are also experiences that one cannot simply forget?

Su Nian did not delve deeper, not wanting to take his few words lightly again.

At that moment, the amusement ride stopped, and Su Bao walked over holding Su Zhen’s hand, amid their playful laughter they overheard a voice not far away.

“Mom, I know I was wrong… I’m sorry I couldn’t keep Daddy, please don’t leave me behind…”

...

Looking in the direction of the voice, it was a boy about three years old, the son of Xue Qi and Li Zisheng, Li Yihao.

Unlike the affectionate scenes of mother and son seen previously, Li Yihao desperately chased after Xue Qi, who was walking away quickly. He cried and apologized, but couldn’t elicit his mother’s sympathy.

Xue Qi turned around, her face twisted in anger, and pushed Li Yihao away fiercely, scolding a three-year-old child: “You’re utterly useless, why did I even give birth to you?!”

Li Yihao picked himself up from the ground and hurriedly tried to hold Xue Qi’s hand, crying so piteously that it broke the hearts of onlookers: “Haohao is sorry… Haohao will try harder, Mom, please don’t be mad at Haohao.”

Yet Xue Qi felt no compassion, and instead, pushed her son away with disgust: “Get lost! Even your dad doesn’t want you! All you know is how to cry here!”

Su Nian watched with a frown, while Shen Hanxiu appeared indifferent as if watching a trivial TV show, similar to Su Bao’s expression.

Su Zhen ran to Su Nian’s side, holding her skirt and said timidly: “Mom, that auntie is scary…”

Su Nian couldn’t help but go over and lift Haohao up from the ground: “Xue Qi, he is your son.”

Xue Qi didn’t expect to encounter Su Nian here, and felt humiliated, especially by the person she least wanted to see! She harshly snatched Li Yihao from Su Nian’s hands, looked at Su Nian with a smile and said, “You know he’s my son, so please mind your own business!”

After saying that, she pulled Li Yihao away, and Su Zhen continued to look fearfully in that direction, then said, “Mom, that boy was my classmate.”

Su Nian bent down to pick up her daughter, and gently replied, “Yes, Mom knows.”

Su Zhen added, “He’s the one who held my hand.”

Shen Hanxiu seemed oblivious to the scene just witnessed, casually asking the children what they wanted to eat, while Su Nian internally criticized him for still being as heartless as before.

She couldn’t help wondering what the real situation was under the superficial harmony of Xue Qi and Li Zisheng.

From what Li Yihao said just now, it seemed that the only connection between Xue Qi and Li Zisheng was their child, and Li Zisheng didn’t care about them at all.

Su Nian’s eyes dimmed, not out of sympathy for Xue Qi, but for that child, who was the same age as Su Zhen and Su Bao, not to mention having an absentee father and enduring such treatment from his own mother.

Regardless of the state of their parents’ relationship, children are always innocent.

As Su Nian drifted into thought about this matter, Shen Hanxiu offered her a dumpling, remarking nonchalantly, “You’re still as meddlesome as ever.”

Su Nian responded to him, “And you’re still as heartless as ever!”

He smiled quietly, the atmosphere at the dining table remained joyful because of the two children.
