Chapter 309: Chapter 221 Annoying and Clingy

“The result is already destined, how long do you want to be troubled by it? Haven’t you heard that the best way to move on from a past relationship is to start a new one?”

His words indeed resonated with Jin Qiu, indeed, no matter how many more years she stayed with Tang Ge, the outcome couldn’t be changed.

What was the use of her regret alone; when she was reluctant to let go, Tang Ge was devotedly caring for another woman and their child.

Although Jin Qiu felt that what Yang Zijing said made sense, she stubbornly said, “It won’t be you! Don’t call me ever again!”

“You’re being discriminatory.”

“Yes, I am discriminatory!”

Yang Zijing looked down at her with a smirk and suddenly leaned in; his face was just a few millimeters from hers…

Jin Qiu laughed, her mind going blank, and couldn’t help but step back.

Yang Zijing smiled, curling his lips slightly and looked down at her expression. Seeing she was about to curse, he quickly tasted her lip gloss.

The contact lasted only a fraction of a second; she dodged away, her hand covering her mouth, her face flushed, but the typically sharp-tongued her couldn’t squeeze out a word for a long time.

Yang Zijing laughed triumphantly, “This look doesn’t seem like you dislike it.”

Jin Qiu poked her mouth and rushed to the side of the road, immediately waving down a taxi when she saw one.

Once in the car, her phone beeped twice urgently. She checked it, and it was a message from him: About the advertising promotion, shall we set a time to talk tomorrow?

Jin Qiu looked at the message, her heart thumping wildly and couldn’t calm down for a long while…

Her tongue slightly touched her lips, as if she could still recall the soft feel of his lips, not finding it repulsive…

Yijing Garden.

Su Nian finished her shower, drying her hair while walking towards Shen Hanxiu who was leaning on the bed, “Is Mom asleep?”

Shen Hanxiu put down the magazine, glanced at her, then reached out to wrap his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, and took the towel from her hand to dry her hair, softly replying, “Mhm.”

“I can do it myself, I might hurt your wound later.”

“Just don’t move recklessly.”

Su Nian stayed silent for a moment, then comfortably sat in front of him, relishing the strength with which he dried her hair, “Hanxiu…”

“Mhm?”

“When you have time, can you accompany me back to Mainan?”

Shen Hanxiu did not hesitate: “Okay.”

Su Nian smiled, “Take the kids with us.”

“Alright.”

Su Nian turned around and embraced him, “You’re really wonderful.”

“You’re just realizing that now?”

Nestled in his arms, she asked, “If I wasn’t Zhang Xiaoni, if I hadn’t met you when I was a child, would you still like me this much?”

“No.”

Su Nian pouted, lifting her head from his embrace, discontented.

“Do you know how annoying you were as a child?”

“What was annoying about me?”

“Always noisy and clingy, and you haven’t improved much since growing up, full of faults…” he paused, pinching her chubby cheek, lifting her pinched mouth even higher, “but I can tolerate it.”

Hearing the latter part, Su Nian’s expression changed, freeing her face from his hand and then diving back into his arms.

Once in his arms, she reverted back to a blissfully happy woman.

Shen Hanxiu carried her to the bed, holding her, “By the way, Mom said Su Zhen and Su Bao need to change their names.”

Shen Hanxiu thought she’d be sensitive, thinking if she showed any emotional response, he wouldn’t insist, but she quickly agreed, “Oh, what to?”

Shen Hanxiu stroked her chin, asking, “Who came up with such earthy names?”

“What’s earthy about it? My Little Treasure, isn’t it meaningful?”

“It does sound better than Zhang Xiaoni.”

“Hmph, Xiaoni is also cute!” After retorting, she snuggled in his arms, lying on his legs, grasping his big hand and looking up at him, “From now on, we’ll all take your surname.”

Shen Hanxiu clasped her hand back, “Alright, Mrs. Shen.”

“You’re Old Shen, I’m Xiao Shen.” Then she pointed at her belly, “This is Little Little Shen.”

Shen Hanxiu pinched her nose, “Don’t call me Old Shen!”

Su Nian giggled and asked, “So what should we name Su Zhen and Su Bao?”

“Think about it, discuss with Mom tomorrow. Now go dry your hair, it’s time to sleep.”

The next day.

Deng Tonglian woke up early, instructing Sister-in-law Wang to prepare a nutritious breakfast, one to help her son recover, the other for her daughter-in-law’s pregnancy.

To make a good impression in front of her mother-in-law, Su Nian set the alarm and woke up just after seven.

“Mom, why are you up so early?”

Deng Tonglian still wore a stern face but said caringly, “You need to rest well during pregnancy, you don’t need to get up this early.”

Su Nian smiled, “I’ll go wake the kids.”

“Go ahead, come down for breakfast later.”

Su Nian nodded and turned towards the children’s room while thinking that having an elder at home was indeed good.

At seven-thirty, the family sat at the breakfast table. Su Nian took a sip of milk and asked, “Mom, didn’t you mention wanting to change the kids’ names?”

Deng Tonglian raised her head, still serious, “Hmm, the children should take the Shen surname.”

Su Nian also knew that the elderly took these things seriously, so she had no objection herself, simply saying, “I thought about it last night, how about calling them ‘Anran’ and ‘Taiping’?”

Deng Tonglian frowned: “Anran is not bad, but Taiping is too tacky.”

Shen Hanxiu chuckled, “You pick names as if the tackier, the better? Even my mom, who’s like an antique, thinks you’re too old-fashioned.”

Deng Tonglian glared at him, “Where does your mom look like an antique?”

After a thought, Deng Tonglian said, “It just so happens that the children are of the ‘Yi’ generation. Let’s name Zhenzhen ‘Shen Yian’, and Xiao Bao ‘Shen Yiran’. An’an and Ranran sound nice as nicknames, and they have good meanings too.”

Su Nian listened and was satisfied: “Okay.” Then she turned to Shen Hanxiu, “What do you think?”

“If you say it’s okay, would I have any objections?”

Su Nian smiled, “Zhenzhen, did you hear your new name?”

Su Zhen, with a hot dog sausage in her mouth, looked adorably at Su Nian, clueless, then reached to pick up the breadcrumbs that fell on the table and stuffed them into her mouth.

Deng Tonglian chuckled and picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, saying, “From now on, you’re called ‘An’an’, remember that?”

Su Zhen pouted, looking troubled: “Why do I have to change my name? I have to learn to write it again, it’s so troublesome!”

“Daddy will teach you to write it tonight.”

But Su Zhen suddenly said, “Mom, I like little uncle’s name.”

“Then study hard, get good exam results, and mom will take you to play with little uncle.”

“I have been studying very hard! You ask Su Bao, I haven’t copied homework at all, I did it all by myself!”

“Here, mom rewards you with a cup of milk.”

“Wu~ I don’t want to drink that! It has no taste at all!”

A fake cry made Deng Tonglian feel pity: “Okay, An’an doesn’t drink milk.”

Su Zhen blinked and felt a bit of affection for this grandma.

After breakfast, Deng Tonglian called the driver and personally took the two well-behaved grandchildren to school, while Su Nian accompanied Shen Hanxiu to the office.

Feeling bored when idle, Su Nian still returned to work in the finance department, and coincidentally, Wei Lan was also there.

“Eh? Sister Niannian, you came to work too?”

“Yes, it’s boring at home.”

Wei Lan nodded in agreement: “Yeah! Ah Chen said he would give me maternity leave, I begged him all night before he agreed to let me come to work.”

“It’s not busy during this period, such small tasks won’t tire me.”

“Exactly, he’s more nervous than I am.”

Su Nian smiled and asked, “Isn’t it good that he’s nervous for you?”

“It’s nice, but he takes it too seriously, he even wants to follow me to the bathroom!”

Su Nian smiled helplessly, “Same here.”

The two women chatted and complained about their situations; the busy time had passed, and now work was more relaxed, and before they knew it, it was time to leave work.

They met up with Qiuqiu for lunch at a restaurant.

Qiuqiu hurriedly pulled them to a random seat, looking annoyed, “I think my luck is so bad this year!”

“What happened? Lost money?”

“I wish it was losing money! A new person came to our department today.”

“Who?”

“Xue Shan!”

Su Nian was also surprised: “Ah? Isn’t she pregnant?”

Jin Qiu was also confused, “Right! Did Tang Ge’s family go bankrupt? She’s so heavily pregnant and still coming to work.”

Wei Lan speculated, “Probably too idle at home.”

“But her belly, it looks like she’s about to give birth, right?”

Jin Qiu’s face was full of frustration, “I don’t know, seeing her just annoys me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Nian quietly pointed with her chin behind Jin Qiu, and there sat Xue Shan, chatting and laughing with a man at a dining table.

Wei Lan pursed her lips, “Exactly, sisters are all the same, just came to work and already knows how to butter up people.”

Jin Qiu nodded vigorously, “Exactly! She’s already mingling with those men on her first day at work, so heavily pregnant yet not keeping the modesty of a woman! Luckily, my department head is a woman, she wouldn’t fall for that!”

“Ah, never mind, just focus on doing your own job well, what she does is her business, just pretend you didn’t see it, no need to get upset over such a woman.”, Su Nian comforted.

“Yeah, let’s order our food.”

…

In the afternoon, Yang Zijing intercepted Jin Qiu again downstairs at the company, pulling her into a café.

“I’m telling you, Detective Yang, are you freakin’ kidding me?”

Yang Zijing then knocked on her head, “Try cursing again?”

“What, you freakin’ wanna sentence me?”

Yang Zijing grabbed her jaw, causing Jin Qiu to curse in pain. Feeling the increasing force from his hand, Jin Qiu quickly begged for mercy, “I… I’ll stop!”

Yang Zijing then released her, his smug expression as if to say: Little girl, you’re asking for trouble by fighting with me!

Entering the café, Jin Qiu was still rubbing her chin, “Speak quickly if you have something, I’m very busy.”

“It’s about making a promotional video for the police station.”

“Damn! You should at least give me a promotional theme, right?”

Yang Zijing glared at her menacingly, grabbed her collar and pulled her close, grinding his lips against hers, “Let me hear you curse again?”

Swallowing hard, Jin Qiu forcefully swallowed the curse that was on the tip of her tongue…
