My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

F{h*F5// V hapter 42 Your brain is the one that’s missing!

After hanging up the phone, Shen Hanxiu returned to his booth, thinking that there was no way Su Nian could still be asleep after an hour.

How could someone who has to go to work have no concept of time at all?

While thinking about it, the black screen of her phone suddenly lit up on the table. Shen Hanxiu glanced at it and saw the name “Lanlan,” which seemed to be that girl who often hung around with her.

Shen Hanxiu picked up her phone and went outside to answer the call.

“Hello…”

Wei Lan on the other end was startled by the male voice, took a look at her phone to check the number, and it wasn’t wrong, was it?

...

“Um… is Su Nian there?”

Shen Hanxiu directly asked, “What’s the matter?”

Although the voice was transmitted through the phone, Wei Lan could still recognize Shen Hanxiu’s voice. She covered her mouth in surprise and murmured in a lowered voice, “President Shen?”

Shen Hanxiu didn’t say anything, just listened as Wei Lan continued, “Well… it’s been a while since work started, and Sister Niannian still hasn’t shown up. I was worried something had happened to her, so I called to check…”

She was talking to Mr. Shen! She was talking to Mr. Shen!

Shen Hanxiu replied indifferently, “She’s fine. Tell your manager she was taken away by me.” To spare her from being lectured when she returns, just a few days into work and already missing work!

Su Nian groggily opened her eyes, yawned, and wondered why her alarm hadn’t gone off yet, feeling as though she had slept for a very long time.

She reached out to find her phone, and immediately woke up completely—her phone was gone?! Could it have been stolen while she was asleep?!

Su Nian quickly stood up, and a lump of something dark tumbled to the ground, followed by a chill on her shoulder.

Looking down, was that clothing? She wasn’t wearing a jacket! Bending down to pick it up, she realized the size was that of a man’s, and the familiar scent on the clothes made Su Nian immediately aware of whom the clothes belonged to.

Looking around but not finding the man, Su Nian hurried to the front desk, asking, “Did you see anyone enter my booth? My stuff is missing?!”

Seeing Su Nian with somewhat disheveled hair and one side of her face red from being squished, the front desk staff were confused about what to say. Then a refined male voice came through: “What’s missing? Your brain?”

Su Nian turned her head to see the owner of the clothes walking towards her with an elegant gait, holding her phone in his hand.

Su Nian immediately turned and walked toward him, “Give it back to me! Who told you to touch my phone?!”

“Is it something you can’t show people?” Shen Hanxiu leisurely returned the phone to her.

Su Nian snatched the phone from his hand, looking up at him with half her face red and the other white, and accused, “You are invading personal privacy!”

“Do you want to settle this privately or see you in court?”

“Crazy!”

Su Nian threw his clothes at him and turned to walk outside the café.

“Hey! Miss, you haven’t paid yet!”

Resignedly, Shen Hanxiu took out his wallet, “How much?”

…

Having paid and caught up to her, she was waiting for the green light, seemingly aware that she was seriously late, with a look of anxiety on her face.

The sun was rather intense, but stepping out from the air-conditioned room it felt quite warm.

Shen Hanxiu walked up beside her, she glanced at him and huffed, turning her head away.

“Acting high and mighty with your boss even when you’re late? Say a few nice words, and I won’t cut your attendance bonus.”

Su Nian turned her head to glare at him, the sunlight making her squint her apricot-colored eyes, looking very alluring.@@novelbin@@

She was expected to lower her head and say a few insincere nice words to him, but after a few seconds, she burst out angrily, “It’s your brain that’s missing!”

She had inserted so many words between, and only now did she remember his earlier insult about her missing brain, making one question whether she was slow to respond or had a good memory.

The green light came on, and Shen Hanxiu watched her with a light chuckle as she rushed to the company in her high heels, hurrying along.
