Ch. 136..140: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 136-140
Chapter 136: Chapter 136: What Exactly Is Your Relationship with This Nanny? Chapter 136: Chapter 136: What Exactly Is Your Relationship with This Nanny? Yin Hehe fell into a deep slumber once again.
She had been lying there for a month, and her bodily functions were not recovering quickly, especially with such a huge shock upon awakening.
Naturally, she couldn’t hold on.
Sheng Siyuan carried her to the bed, and just as he finished tucking her in, Doctor Tofiel arrived.
“How is it, Sheng? Did she believe what you told her?”
He stood in front of the sickbed, and seeing that this man was still so meticulously caring for someone, he couldn’t help but tease with a bit of amusement.
Sheng Siyuan became slightly stiff.
“Just watch your own mouth!”
“…”
The doctor immediately covered his mouth, signaling that he would absolutely not spout any nonsense.
“However, Sheng, I’m very curious, who exactly is she? A nanny, and for her you’ve spent tens of millions to find doctors and medication to repair her face, is she worth all that effort?”
“Isn’t your fiancée, Miss Lin?”
When the doctor spoke again, his question became sharper, and he also mentioned Lin Shuang, who had not shown up for a long time.
Indeed, the behavior of the man in front of him during this past month had been very abnormal compared to his past self.
Having known him for so many years, when had he ever cared so much about a woman?
The doctor waited for his reply.
But he found that when the man heard his question, his expression didn’t change at all; it could even be called indifferent.
“She saved me, and now I’m getting her face treated, what’s wrong with that?”
“…”
Was it really that simple?
The doctor didn’t believe it at all, but in the end, since it involved personal matters, he wasn’t inclined to ask further and turned to leave.
What he didn’t notice was that the very moment he entered the elevator, the figure of a janitor also appeared nearby.
“Miss Lin, that nanny has woken up, I saw her features clearly, she looks just as she did before.”
The janitor took out his cell phone and sent a message.
“How is that possible? Didn’t you say her face was covered in injuries? Why has she recovered so well in just a month?”
The reply came quickly.
But the tone was one of complete disbelief; she was like a venomous snake in the gutter, sensing something amiss since that day.
At this moment, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to dig out the truth of this matter!
“Keep an eye on her for me, and if there is anything unusual about this woman, notify me immediately.”
She commanded, her tone fierce.
Seeing this, the janitor had no choice but to agree.
Evening.
Yin Hehe finally woke up again, and this time, her response seemed much more normal.
“Captain Xu, does this mean I can be discharged from the hospital now?”
“Of course.” Xu Guannan, who had been by her side, immediately nodded.
“I’ll go do the discharge procedures for you now. Oh, and Miss Yin’s daughter is also here. You can see her after you go out.”
“What?”
Just as Yin Hehe was about to change clothes, she stopped again, utterly shocked by what she had heard.
“Are you saying… Youyou?”
“Yes, the president said that’s not his child, he couldn’t keep her in Shengfei Bay, so when you just had the accident, she was sent here.”
As Xu Guannan said this, he silently turned to look elsewhere.
What could he say about such fatalistic words?
“Hehe~~”
As expected, as soon as the words fell, a surge of anger rose from behind Yin Hehe, and she let out a cold laugh.
“He sure knows how to make a clear distinction!”
“Cough cough…”
Xu Guannan indicated his refusal to continue on this topic.
Not long after, the discharge procedure was completed, and Xu Guannan drove the woman slowly towards the suburban area.
Night had fallen, and the city in late autumn was quiet as they drove along, with few people seen on the streets, and only the sound of the sycamore trees rustling in the cold wind under the dim streetlights.
Yin Hehe turned her head to look and saw that the car windows were fogged up due to the significant temperature difference.
Suddenly, she reached out and touched her face again.
Her face didn’t feel cold.
So her face must still be disguised.
But why couldn’t it be torn off? Could it be that the chemicals react differently in seawater?
Her lips turned slightly pale as she immediately took out her phone and used a special social media account to contact the owner of these substances.
“Qiandai, I have a question for you. The stuff you gave me, it’s not supposed to touch seawater, is it?”
She sent the message straight away.
But this woman, she didn’t reply at all; even when Yin Hehe had reached her destination, there was still no response on the phone.
“Miss Han, we have arrived,” said Xu Guannan as he parked the car and looked at the brightly lit villa outside.
Yin Hehe then put away her phone.
“Didn’t we say we were going to a hotel? What’s with…this house, it…”
“This is a property President Sheng bought here a while ago. He doesn’t usually live here and often stays in hotels when he comes. Since you were hospitalized for such a long time and the child came over, he hired a nanny and settled them here,” said Xu Guannan as he coughed twice and started to talk nonsense in the dark again.
Like Doctor Tofiel, he had been with this man for so long and this was the first time he had told such a conscience-stricken lie.
Yin Hehe, hearing this explanation while standing in front of the luxurious villa, visibly calmed down.
Indeed, what was there for her to be surprised about?
After all, this man was the wealthy CEO of Shengshi Group, and wasn’t it perfectly normal for him to buy a couple of properties wherever he went?
Yin Hehe entered the villa.
“Mummy~~”
Just as she stepped onto the villa’s porch, a small figure rushed towards her like a little swallow, joyfully shouting.
She smiled.
Quickly moving forward, as Little Bun ran out, she squatted and opened her arms to embrace the soft little figure.
“Baby, I’ve finally seen you. Did you miss Mummy?”
“Of course I did.” Little Bun replied in a sweet, milky voice while nestled in her arms.
And neither mother nor daughter remembered that they shouldn’t be calling each other “Mummy” at this moment, as their current identities were supposed to be nanny and little mistress.
Xu Guannan quietly slipped away with a headache.
After a moment, the mother and daughter finally calmed down, and Yin Hehe brought her daughter inside, only then realizing something.
“Eh? Where did Captain Xu go?” She began to look around somewhat frantically.
“He just left. Mr. Sheng hasn’t returned yet, and he still needs to pick him up,” explained the nanny in the villa, bringing over a pair of slippers with great politeness.
Yin Hehe then breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the bodyguard captain must not have heard just now. She would have to be careful in the future.
Yin Hehe took her daughter to the living room.
“Miss Han, dinner is ready. Why don’t you go upstairs and take a shower first? When Mr. Sheng returns, you two can have dinner together.”
“Ah?”
Yin Hehe immediately felt resistance.
She could go take a shower, and she was indeed hungry.
But she didn’t really want to dine with that man. Thinking of yet another identity she had dropped, she could predict with her toes how incessantly he would question her during the meal.
Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Her Concern Made Him Feel Surprisingly Cherished Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Her Concern Made Him Feel Surprisingly Cherished Yin Hehe eventually obediently went to take a bath.
Little Bun also closely followed Mommy.
“Mommy, this room is yours, oh, and there are so many pretty clothes, all yours too, oh.”
After taking Mommy up, the little pink bun immediately began to introduce her to the room as if presenting treasures.
Yin Hehe was stunned.
“Mine?”
She looked at the closet and saw that indeed there were many new clothes inside, and she was dumbfounded.
How could they be hers?
The clothes looked so high-end, and the styles were very trendy and fashionable, how could they belong to a nanny like her?
That’s right, Xu Guannan had said that this villa had been prepared a long time ago, naturally, that man must have brought his white moonlight here, so, these clothes must belong to that woman.
Yin Hehe’s eyes dimmed, and she promptly closed the wardrobe.
“These aren’t Mommy’s, Youyou, you have to remember, you are not Daddy’s child now, and Mommy is still hiding her identity. So, we must be careful, we cannot covet anything here, understand?”
She took the opportunity to remind her daughter.
Little Bun immediately nodded her little head wisely.
“Okay, Mommy, I know.”
“…”
“Not Mommy, it’s Auntie, Auntie, Youyou understands, oh.”
Little Bun immediately covered her little mouth with her chubby hands, her big eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled.
Yin Hehe: “…”
With her heart pounding, she dove into the bathroom.
It seemed, she still needed to take her child and leave quickly; this place was too dangerous, they were bound to be exposed sooner or later.
Yin Hehe took about half an hour to bathe.
Finally finished, she came out of the bathroom and put her old clothes back on, then she took her daughter downstairs.
“Creak——”
Just then, a black Maybach returned outside the villa, the car door opened, and soon, a tall and slim figure entered, amidst the rustling cold wind.
Yin Hehe: “…”
“Bad Uncle, you’re back, oh, my Mommy’s come home too, we’re going to have dinner with you, oh.”
Without even greeting him, Little Bun’s eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over with her short legs.
Yin Hehe’s vision darkened!
How did she give birth to such a foolish little creature? Hadn’t they agreed she shouldn’t call her Mommy?
Yin Hehe felt a bone-chilling cold as if she had plunged into an ice cellar.
“Really? It seems Uncle is very honored today, even getting the favor of your mother waiting to have dinner with me.”
The man finally spoke.
But to Yin Hehe’s utmost surprise, he played along with Little Bun’s words, as though teasing was their usual mode of communication.
Yin Hehe’s eyes widened, a pair of amber eyes flickering.
It took a long time before she gathered the courage to stop him as he walked towards her to go upstairs and change his clothes.
“Mr. Sheng, just now Youyou called me Mommy, that’s because…”
“Don’t rush, I will properly ask you at dinner!”
Unexpectedly, the man didn’t even give her a proper look; he snorted coldly and just walked past her upstairs.
Yin Hehe: “…”
The entire scalp numbed.
However, being rather quick-witted, Yin Hehe still vaguely sensed a glimmer of hope for salvation upon hearing these words.
She obediently seated herself at the dining table.
Little Bun was taken away by the nanny, who was also quite perceptive. Noticing that the male master of the house was in a foul mood, she promptly and astutely took the child away to feed him elsewhere.
Thus, in the dining room, only Yin Hehe remained, sitting quietly and waiting.
It didn’t take long before the sound of unhurried footsteps reached her ears, and Yin Hehe turned her head to look.
It was a man, no longer fierce.
He had changed into a very casual set of home clothing, a handmade pure white crewneck sweater paired with deep grey lounge pants. His stature was still tall and straight, but at this moment, without the usual somber business suit and leather shoes, the aura around him softened considerably.
Internally, Yin Hehe let out a sigh of relief.
“You waited for me to come down before you started eating, what is it? Do you really have a lot to explain to me?”
He finally arrived in front of her.
However, as he pulled out a chair to sit down, his tone still carried a hint of sarcasm.
Yin Hehe couldn’t help but tense up again.
“It’s… nothing much, just about Youyou. I wanted to clarify something with you. She calls me ‘Mommy’ because after Miss Yin passed away, she had a persistent fever and was hospitalized for a long time. When she came to, she just started calling me that.”
Her eyes slightly downcast, she began to throw out the explanations she had rehearsed in her mind.
But in reality, her expression was somewhat sad, because her daughter, at the most difficult time, when she had to take care of her brother and earn money, was neglected in her care and indeed nearly fell gravely ill.
Bullshit!
Upon hearing this nonsense, Sheng Siyuan’s first impulse was to curse.
But then, seeing the dull look on the woman’s face, he inexplicably felt a blockage in his chest.
He let her off.
In these five years, although she was telling a lie now, the truth was she had struggled to raise two children on her own, and moreover, his son, Sheng Siyuan’s son, was suffering from a terminal illness.
“Alright, let’s eat first,” he said, taking the initiative to pick up a bowl. He filled it to the brim from the soup pot beside him and pushed it towards her.
Yin Hehe: “…”
Looking at the steaming bowl of soup, she breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn’t help feeling a tad overwhelmed by the favor.
“Thank you~~” She quickly voiced her thanks and began drinking the soup with her spoon.
The man’s mouth curled up slightly.
But he didn’t start eating; instead, he lit up a cigarette.
After finishing the soup, Yin Hehe saw that he wasn’t eating but instead sitting at the dining table puffing away, which caused her brows to furrow, and she blurted out, “Have you already eaten? If you haven’t, then you shouldn’t smoke; it’s bad for your health.”
“…”
The air suddenly grew quiet.
And the man holding the cigarette stopped all his movements when he heard this sentence.
He remembered five years ago.
Back then, she used to nag him like this, making sure he didn’t eat anything random and strictly followed the schedule she set out for him.
She always used the gentlest tone in front of him, speaking irrefutable words.
The man slowly put down the cigarette in his hand…
“Sorry, I just… thought you hadn’t had dinner yet. I was being presumptuous. Please don’t be angry, Mr. Sheng,” Yin Hehe said, suddenly realizing her error and quickly explaining.
Sheng Siyuan watched her in silence.
“It’s okay,” he said in a low voice after a while.
Then, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and obediently picked up the chopsticks in front of him.
Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Her Identity Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Her Identity “So, what is your real identity? Lan Yi? Or a nanny?”
After a few bites, Sheng Siyuan finally broached the main issue as he put down his chopsticks.
He was genuinely curious about the answer to this question.
When she married him, she hadn’t even graduated from university yet, with almost no presence around him on a daily basis. So how had she managed to get to this point over the past five years?
She hadn’t shown such astounding talent at the time.
“I… My name is indeed Lan Yi!”
Unexpectedly, upon hearing him ask this, the woman clenched her chopsticks and fell silent for a while before actually claiming that this was her name.
Sheng Siyuan burst out in an exasperated laugh.
He took out another cigarette, lit it with a lighter, took a leisurely deep drag, and then sat back with his legs crossed, showing a deep interest.
“I’m all ears!”
“…”
Yin Hehe swallowed.
“My father is the leader of the largest black gang in Southeast Asia—the Tulan Society. Back then, when he wanted to present me as a gift to the government of Southeast Asia, I escaped, and it just so happened that I ran into Miss Yin, who saved me.”
“…”
The man who was smoking stopped abruptly upon hearing this.
The Tulan Society!!
Was this damn woman now so shameless as to weave real people and places into her lies?
He was so upset that his fingers began to tremble.
“And then?”
“After that, Miss Yin took me to the country F, knew I liked being a lawyer, and sent me to a law firm, where I met Jin Saiwen.”
Yin Hehe slowly recounted this part of her past.
Of course, all of this was true: the Tulan Society, Lan Yi…
However, in the end, she hadn’t been able to save that poor girl; not long after she had taken her to country F, the girl’s father who had the power to overshadow the heavens had found them and threatened the lives of Yin Hehe and her three children to make her obediently return with him.
Yin Hehe closed her eyes slightly.
At that moment, the image of the girl’s final departure came to mind. Even after so many years, her heart still ached.
She said, “Sister, I’ll leave my certificates with you. You have to protect your child in the future. You can use them to study law; that way, you’ll have a weapon to fight with.”
She also said, “You can have my name…”
Yin Hehe couldn’t remember how she had burst into tears that day; she only remembered how she had gone mad wanting to go to Southeast Asia the next day.
What she saw was a news report from there.
An explosion had suddenly occurred at the grand wedding of the government official, and the daughter of the Tulan Society had tragically died!
…
Yin Hehe took a long time to recover from that period.
Later on, she used the girl’s certificates, her name, and even her “face.”
She went to Landun.
Sheng Siyuan didn’t make a sound, the cigarette still burning between his fingers, which he no longer smoked.
He just quietly observed the woman.
He certainly knew she was lying again, but when he heard about the Tulan Society and the government of Southeast Asia, he remembered a rumor he had heard a few years back.
Back then, the Tulan Society, aiming to expand its influence, thought of cooperating with the government there.
So, they planned to marry off their daughter to the son of a government official, an idiot. But on the day of the wedding, an explosion occurred at the venue, and the daughter died alongside the idiot son of the government official.
After that, the cooperation fell through.
To this day, although the Tulan Society still held the number one spot among the black gangs in Southeast Asia, they found no way to venture into legitimate business.
It was he, Sheng Siyuan, who after taking charge of Shengshi Group, had led the charge to win numerous projects there.
“If that’s the case, now that you’ve become such a successful lawyer and your name is internationally renowned, aren’t you afraid your father will discover you again?”
After a moment of silence, he finally asked very cooperatively, albeit indifferently.
Yin Hehe immediately looked up.
“It’s impossible for him to find me. You might not know, but in Southeast Asia, we girls basically have no status. After I was born, my father never gave me an official name.”
“…”
“So, the name Lan Yi was actually one I chose for myself when I secretly went to study; he has no idea about it.”
Yin Hehe took out her cell phone, flipped through the saved identity documents, and handed them to the man.
The man glanced at it.
Indeed, it looked official, even the photo was attached, which matched her face exactly.
“So, that’s also why your profile at Landun never had a photograph.”
“That’s right. If I put my photo there, then my father would definitely find out,” Yin Hehe immediately chimed in.
The man’s slender fingers tapped on the table, and after a moment, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand and stood up.
“Alright, now that your identity has been cleared up, then, Attorney Lan, you should take the little girl and leave tomorrow. We’ll be even then.”
Yin Hehe was stunned by this sudden statement from the man.
So easily… just letting her go? Was it too smooth? She thought she would have to put in a lot of effort again to escape from him.
“Mr. Sheng, what do you mean? Are you saying that I don’t need to follow you back to the country?”
“Yes,” the man said, his indifferent dark eyes peeking through the lens.
“Since you’re not actually Yin Hehe’s real nanny, I certainly won’t force you to continue the obligation of taking care of my son. Attorney Lan, you are free.”
The last sentence was especially emphasized by the man as he reached the restaurant’s doorway.
Referring to her as “Attorney Lan.”
Yin Hehe: “…”
Suddenly, she felt a sense of discomfort.
She indeed wanted to leave, and not long before, she had been planning her escape. But now that the man was letting her go so abruptly, specifically stating that she was no longer related to his affairs, she felt somewhat bitter.
“Mr. Sheng, I… truly promised Miss Yin to take good care of the child.”
“What of it? The promise you made to her was merely to cure my son’s illness. Now that he’s recovered, I will take good care of him. There’s no need for you to worry.”
The man rejected her again, very coldly.
Yin Hehe’s fingers clenched tightly into the palm of her hand all of a sudden.
But the man didn’t pay her any more attention. After he finished speaking, he strode out.
Soon after, she could hear his footsteps going upstairs.
Yin Hehe: “…”
So, she really was going to leave with her daughter this time? From now on, she wouldn’t have to see this man again, nor would she need to worry about being discovered by him!
She sat at the dining table, feeling the most confused she’d ever been.
That night, she tossed and turned in bed.
Little Bun sensed it, rubbing her sleepy eyes in her mummy’s arms, “Mummy, stop moving, baby wants to sleep.”
“Okay,” Yin Hehe dared not to turn anymore.
However, when she saw that Little Bun hadn’t fallen asleep yet in the darkness, her eyes sparkled…
“Baby, Mummy wants to ask you a question. If we could never see big brother again, would you be sad?”
“Huuu～～”
Little Bun was fast asleep!
Chapter 139: Chapter 139: President, Can You Stop Courting Disaster? Chapter 139: Chapter 139: President, Can You Stop Courting Disaster? Early the next morning, Yin Hehe was awakened by the knocking on the door outside.
“Miss Han, are you awake?”
“…I’m awake.”
Yin Hehe, groggy, recognized that it was Xu Guannan’s voice and hurriedly responded even in her half-asleep state.
“Good, then could Miss Han please bring the child down as soon as you’re awake, the flight ticket I booked for you is for ten in the morning, if you’re late you might miss it.”
Having heard that she was awake, Xu Guannan said after checking the time.
Flight ticket?
Upon hearing these words, Yin Hehe, who had still been lounging in bed, immediately opened her eyes wide.
She got up and rushed to the door as quickly as possible.
“Captain Xu, what did you just say? Flight ticket? What flight ticket?”
Seeing the bodyguard captain standing at the door, she immediately asked without even bothering to wash up.
Xu Guannan, seeing this, handed over the two flight tickets he had been holding.
“These are for you and the child to go back to country F, the president ordered it, he also asked me to give this to you.”
After he finished speaking, he pulled out a check.
Yin Hehe: “…”
She stared blankly at the figure on the check and finally, all her drowsiness vanished.
So, they wanted her gone.
First thing in the morning, even before breakfast, they came to rush her out, and then they had the gall to act gracious, giving her a hefty sum of money.
“Bang!”
Yin Hehe closed the door.
The loud noise frightened Little Bun in bed, who instantly popped his little head out from under the covers.
“Mommy~~”
“Alright, no more sleeping, we’re going home, get up quickly.”
Yin Hehe, holding back her rage, picked Little Bun out of the blanket, and took her to the bathroom.
About ten minutes later, Xu Guannan, who had been waiting downstairs, finally saw a woman as cold as frost coming down with Little Bun, carrying big and small bags.
Was she that angry?
Xu Guannan immediately sent a message to someone: “President, the lady is indeed angry.”
“Hehe~~”
An emoticon of cold mockery was sent back, one could feel the man’s smugness through the screen.
However, even after Xu Guannan had escorted Yin Hehe and her daughter to the airport, he still hadn’t seen her make any further move.
“Miss Han, do you… have any instructions regarding young master Cen Bao?”
“None!” Yin Hehe threw out the words with a cold face.
Afterward, she took her daughter’s hand and mother and daughter strode into the waiting hall.
Xu Guannan: “!!!!”
Well, that’s messed up, isn’t it…
He immediately took out his phone, but just as he started to say “The lady didn’t even look back as she entered the waiting hall,” the other party hung up and threw their phone away.
This damn woman, after she gets back, I’ll definitely take her down a peg!!
Two minutes later, in the waiting hall.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the inconvenience, but due to weather conditions, flight XXX will be delayed.”
Just as Yin Hehe was taking her daughter through security, ready to board the plane, the overhead announcement suddenly informed them that the flight would be delayed.
It really is like they say: when you’re out of luck, even drinking water can get stuck between your teeth.
Yin Hehe’s mood got even worse.
She could only take her daughter back to the waiting room, and just as she sat down, her phone suddenly received a message.
“Mommy, when will you come back? I heard you’re awake, are you bringing sister back with you?”
It was a message from Cen Bao.
Yin Hehe froze on the spot.
When she had accepted this itinerary at breakneck speed this morning, her plan was to find time to fly back to her homeland to see the child once she arrived in Country F.
Because, now that she had revealed her identity to that scumbag, she believed he wouldn’t stop her from seeing the child.
But now, seeing this message…
Suddenly, she didn’t know how to explain it to the child.
Could she tell him that she had left him behind? That from now on, she could only visit him occasionally instead of having him by her side?
“Cen Bao, Mommy might… might…”
“You’re not coming back, are you? You only want your sister, not me, right?”
With just these few halting words, the intelligent little guy on the other end quickly caught on and began to question her excitedly in the message.
Yin Hehe’s face turned completely pale in an instant.
“No, no, Cen Bao, Mommy definitely hasn’t abandoned you. It’s just… Mommy and your daddy haven’t sorted things out yet. Baby, Mommy would never abandon you.”
She hurriedly explained.
But after this message was sent, there was no further response. The little chatterbox who used to love messaging her was now completely silent.
“Cen Bao~~”
Yin Hehe’s eyes were red.
Just then, her phone vibrated. She looked at it and saw it was Xu Guannan, who had brought her and her daughter here not long ago.
“Hello? Captain Xu!”
“Hmm, I just received news that there’s a weather issue with your flight. Do you need me to change it for you?” Xu Guannan asked considerately over the phone.
Yin Hehe shook her head immediately, “No need, no need, that… I wanted to ask, where is the president? Is he with you?”
She finally bit the bullet and asked with a suppressed sense of humiliation.
Tsk~~
Xu Guannan handed the phone to the man in the back seat who was absentmindedly flipping through a magazine.
“President, Miss Han is looking for you.”
“What is it?”
He even looked quite impatient, which made Xu Guannan almost itch to punch him.
Give up, wife, you can’t outplay this cunning wolf.
…
“Hello?”
“Mr. Sheng, I… I’ve thought about it, and I still want to go back with you to check on the child. After his surgery, I haven’t seen whether he has fully recovered, so I’d like to confirm. Is that alright?”
Yin Hehe, hearing this man’s voice, immediately pushed all her grievances, dignity, and discomfort aside!
Then she bit her lip and began to beg.
The man enjoyed listening for a while. He didn’t rush to say yes or no, but instead changed to a more comfortable position in the car before speaking slowly and deliberately, “Lawyer Lan, you really do care about my son.”
“…”
That one sentence made Yin Hehe on the other end feel even more embarrassed.
“Mr. Sheng, I…”
“Okay, I agree to you coming back with me, but Lawyer Lan, remember there will be no compensation.”
He finally stopped teasing her and graciously agreed to let her come back.
Yin Hehe was immediately overjoyed!
“No need, I don’t need any compensation. Where are you now, Mr. Sheng? I’ll come right over.”
“It’s not necessary, I’m already on my way~~”
The man finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Yin Hehe, still holding the phone with the busy tone, was dumbfounded for a long time.
Why would he come to the airport?
Somehow, this didn’t feel quite right.
Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Does He Worry About Her? Yes, He Does!! Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Does He Worry About Her? Yes, He Does!! Yin Hehe ended up following Sheng Siyuan onto the flight bound for the domestic destination.
In the first-class cabin, where space was not very generous, she entered and saw the man sitting in front – and really contemplated retreating to the economy section.
She felt truly aggrieved!
If it hadn’t been for the child, she would never have begged him, not for anything.
“Uncle, it turns out you’re flying home with us.”
However, as soon as Little Bun boarded the plane and saw Daddy, she immediately ran over to him, full of joy.
Sheng Siyuan lifted her up.
“Let’s get this right, you are following me home, little thing. Did your dad ever take you home before?”
He started grilling Little Bun with teeth clenched after only a couple of sentences.
Little Bun: “…”
Yin Hehe: “…”
Fuming with anger, she could only hurry over and take the child away.
“Mr. Sheng, the plane will take off soon. Perhaps you should rest a while, I can look after the child.”
She made an excuse, then, holding Little Bun, returned to her own seat.
What an idiot, the child was obviously his own, and yet he kept asking such thoughtless questions as if oblivious to the way Little Bun looked at him!!
Yin Hehe held the child in her arms.
Thankfully, perhaps fearing Daddy would ask more silly questions, as soon as the airplane took off, Little Bun played quietly by her side.
Seeing this, Yin Hehe relaxed, leaned back in her seat, and before long, she had fallen asleep.
“Sir, the lady has fallen asleep, should I carry the child over to you?”
The flight attendant noticed and came over to whisper to Sheng Siyuan.
Sheng Siyuan paused for a moment.
He turned around and indeed, in just those few short minutes, the woman in the seat behind him had fallen asleep. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
How could this be? Hadn’t she just woken up not long ago?
He rose from his seat, strode up to where the woman was sitting, and picked up the small child on her lap.
“Uncle!! You can’t just lift a child like that, it’s very rude!!”
Little Bun immediately protested strongly against Daddy’s actions.
However, the deadbeat dad didn’t react at all.
“Take her to economy class, hand her over to my bodyguard.”
“Certainly, sir.”
The flight attendant promptly lifted Little Bun, disregarding her strong objections, and took her to economy class.
With the child gone, the cabin became much quieter.
Sheng Siyuan stood next to the woman, intending to return to his own seat, but after a glance, he ultimately chose to sit down next to her.
“Thump!”
No sooner had he sat down than the woman’s head fell onto his shoulder.
It was apparent how deeply she was sleeping.
What was happening?
He sat there stiffly, considering querying the damn doctor via his phone but remembered that, after takeoff, his phone no longer had a signal.
“Sir, can I assist you with anything?”
“Cough cough… Do you have a pillow or something? Something she can lean on.”
He awkwardly made the request.
Unfortunately, the flight attendant shook her head with regret: “We don’t have any pillows, but if you need a blanket, I can bring one over for you.”
“…”
His face darkened, but he said nothing further.
Of course, he didn’t push the woman away. Instead, once the initial discomfort passed, he started to relax as he inhaled the familiar scent of peach from the air around her.
It must have been a matter of habit from before; those two years when he was tormented by illness to the point of feeling like dying, he didn’t really want to get close to this woman.
But every time, when he came to his senses, he found her right beside him.
Either keeping him company,
or him leaning against her.
The man’s thin lips pursed slightly as he began to flip through the documents in front of him with one hand.
“Cen Bao! No!!”
Just as he was seriously reading, the woman leaning on his shoulder suddenly let out a cry of alarm, and immediately afterward, her eyes snapped open, and she sat up straight.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
He looked at the woman with some annoyance and asked unhappily, “What are you shouting for? Did you see a ghost in your dream?”
Yin Hehe: “…”
Still unsettled, her gaze fixed on the man who was actually sitting beside her, she was frightened enough for her pupils to tremble.
“Mr. Sheng, you… why are you sitting here?”
“What do you think?” Upon hearing this question, the man, already not looking too pleased, became even more irritated.
“You’re sleeping like a pig. The cabin crew were worried you might be dead, so they called me over. Han Lina, what on earth is going on with you? Did you discharge yourself from the hospital without the doctor’s permission?”
The words that came out of his mouth were so harsh and unpleasant, it was impossible to exaggerate.
Yin Hehe was drenched in cold sweat, and upon hearing his words, she was even more stunned.
“Captain Xu took care of the discharge procedures for me.”
“…”
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Sheng, for causing you concern. I’m okay, I just had a rather scary dream about Cen Bao. Maybe I’ve been thinking about him too much.”
Yin Hehe didn’t get angry with him, but after calming down, she offered a light explanation.
She indeed had a dream about Cen Bao just now.
The little guy hadn’t responded to her messages, and in her dream, she was so worried about him that she acted out.
Sheng Siyuan stared at her.
He was worried about her?
For a split second, he wanted to refute that statement. She really knew how to flatter herself; when had she ever had the right to fall in front of him?
But, as the words came to his lips and he saw her sweating profusely,
he shut his mouth again.
“All right, I’ll go if there’s nothing wrong.” He didn’t want to stay in this awful place any longer and stood up to leave.
“Ah—”
Unexpectedly, just as he got up from his seat, he heard the woman exclaim again as she clutched her scalp.
He turned his head and saw that some of her hair had gotten caught in the decorative chain around his collar from when she had leaned on his shoulder.
“Are you a pig?”
He was about to explode with anger. He harshly scolded her again and had no choice but to sit back down.
Yin Hehe: “I’m… I’m sorry, Mr. Sheng, for the trouble.”
She felt extremely embarrassed as well.
Fortunately, though he cursed, when it came to solving the problem, he was quite patient.
“Hold your hair. I’ll pull it free.”
“Okay,” Yin Hehe immediately grabbed the lock of hair that was caught.
That’s why it’s wisest for this man to wear suits usually—just look at these clothes; for the sake of looking good, what kind of new designs have they come up with?
Yin Hehe waited patiently.
But in this quiet atmosphere where one could hear a pin drop, she could feel not only the man’s fingers moving near her ear.
She could also feel his hot breath.
He was so close.
To untangle the few strands of hair, his face was nearly pressing against the back of her ear.
“Ah—”
Suddenly, he tightened his grip, and Yin Hehe, in a pain-induced reflex, grabbed her hair and turned her head, pressing her soft, red lips against his hot breath!!
The whole world went silent…
