Ch.338 Illness (2)
âIâm leaving.â Su Yaya looked at him again, turned and walked a few steps, she couldnât help but look back at him, and said goodbye before she turned and left the ward.
Sun Yaya got out of the ward, went all the way down using the elevator, and got in the car in the parking lot. She sat in the car for a while, opened her bag and took out her phone to call Shen Xiuqi. Shen Xiuqi didnât answer, he really was quite busy.
She asked the driver to start the car, âGo to the Shenâs.â
The driver started the car and drove to the entrance of the Shen Group. Su Yaya got out of the car and walked in. The receptionist saw Su Yaya coming, and greeted her quickly, before opening the elevator door for her, and escorted her upstairs.
She went straight to the 26th floor, and when she walked out of the elevator to Shen Xiuqiâs office, she ran into Shen Xiuqi.
âXiuqi.â
When Shen Xiuqi saw her, he quickly walked towards her to hold her, and asked: âWhy are you here? Why didnât you give me a call before coming?â
Su Yaya said: âI did but you didnât answer.â
Shen Xiuqi said hurriedly: âI was in a meeting just now.â
Su Yaya guessed that was the case, and didnât put much thought to it, she said: âI just went to the hospital to visit your dad, I talked to him for a while.â
Shen Xiuqi paused, then took her hand and said, âLetâs go sit in my office, you must be tired from all the standing.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yaya glanced at him, then nodded, before following him to the office.
When she got to the office and sat down, Shen Xiuqi asked Su Yaya what she wanted to drink. Su Yaya said that she wanted to have soda, and Shen Xiuqi said, âI donât have soda here, only water.â
Su Yaya had no choice but to say: âThen Iâll have water.â
Shen Xiuqi went to bring her a glass of hot water, and told her: âBe careful, itâs hot.â
Su Yaya took the cup and held it in her hand. The palms of her hands finally felt warm, but she didnât feel good. She looked at Shen Xiuqi and said, âFather is quite sick. He actually knew that he had cancer a long time ago. He came back this time because he really knew that his health was deteriorating.â
Shen Xiuqi sneered when he heard her say this, âWhen it gets worse, then he only returns. When he was healthy and fine, where did he go? Has he ever thought about us? When grandpa was ill, where was he?â
Su Yaya was silent for a moment, she looked up at Shen Xiuqi and said, âXiuqi, this is my thoughts on this, my guess, hear me out to see if Iâm right, maybe your father knew that he was sick on the exact same time your grandfather fell ill, he was dying, thatâs why didnât come back, maybe he knew he was about to die. If it was them both, your family would be devastated, so he chose not to come back, and stayed outside. Am I right?â
Shen Xiuqi was silent for a moment, expressionless. After a while, he said, âWhen he was young, he lived like this even when he wasnât sick. He was constantly surrounded with different women, when did he ever care about this? After all, he has always been like this. It doesnât matter whether he is sick or not. He has always lived like this!â
Su Yaya felt that Shen Xiuqi was being too narrow-minded, she stretched out her hand and said, âDonât think like thisâ¦â¦â
Shen Xiuqi pulled away, stood up and took two steps, he sighed and said to Su Yaya: âItâs not that I donât want to think this way, I just canât not.â He stopped talking for a bit and continued: â Okay, Yaya, letâs not talk about him.â
Su Yaya saw that Shen Xiuqi wasnât in a good mood, so she didnât go on, she then nodded to Shen Xiuqi and said, âOkay then, how was work today?â
Shen Xiuqi smiled and said, âItâs nothing much.â He looked at her tummy again and asked: âIs the baby behaving today?â
Su Yaya said: âThe baby is behaving quite well.â
Shen Xiuqi looked at her tummy and said, âI want to touch your tummy.â
Su Yaya saw as if he was begging her like a little kid, she couldnât help but smile, âGo ahead.â
Shen Xiuqi placed his hand on her belly as he bent down and reached out to hug her. His face gently pressed against her belly intimately.
Now Su Yayaâs belly still didnât show much, but Shen Xiuqi was pressed against her belly, she felt another kind of warm sensation, Shen Xiuqi just hugged her like this, holding her for a while before letting go.
Su Yaya gently touched his hair with her hand, smiled and said, âAre you done?â
Shen Xiuqi took a deep breath, suppressed all the complicated emotions he was feeling, smiled and replied: âIâm fine, I really want the baby to come out quickly, so I can play with the baby.â
Su Yaya groaned: âWhen the baby comes out, itâs still so small, the baby canât play with you yet.â
Shen Xiuqi said solemnly: âI will be by the babyâs side and watch as the baby grows, play with the baby, and Iâll always be present, is that nice?â
Su Yaya smiled, âThatâs the best.â
âI also think that itâs a good idea.â Shen Xiuqi smiled and kissed her on her forehead lovingly.
