Chapter 121: Chapter 96: Snatching Aunt’s Man_2
“But… I never expected that after I gave my heart and soul to Su Nian, she would do something as utterly conscienceless as seducing her future brother-in-law!”
Su Yalan’s voice grew noticeably angry as she spoke, and the reporters at the scene turned to the live broadcast as soon as they heard this.
“Ah Shu is calling off the wedding today because of Su Nian’s sabotage… I…” Overcome with emotion, Su Yalan couldn’t help but cover her face and cry, then she said heartrendingly: “I saw through two people who mean nothing to me in my life at this engagement banquet…”
Having said that, she ran off the stage as if she couldn’t stand the betrayal from a lover and a relative.
This drama immediately cast her as the victim, and Su Nian became the detestable mistress in the eyes of the public.
Not only does she not repay kindness, but she’s also stealing her aunt’s man…
However, as for what’s happening now, neither Su Nian nor Shen Hanxiu know, for they are still wandering on the quaint Magpie Bridge of Jiangnan.
They were supposed to have dinner, but they have yet to enter the restaurant, leisurely strolling along a small path.
Suddenly they noticed an unusually lively scene ahead, and when they approached, Su Nian, who wasn’t very tall, couldn’t see what was happening inside the crowd. Shen Hanxiu, however, saw everything clearly.
Unusually interested despite his usual disinterest in bustling scenes, he pulled Su Nian into the crowd and saw a sign.
It read: “Couples who kiss for a minute on Qixi Festival will eat for free.”
After reading, Shen Hanxiu nonchalantly removed his sunglasses.
Su Nian’s eyes widened as she caught a glimpse of the embarrassing scene through a gap in the crowd.
Pulling on Shen Hanxiu, she tried to leave, but he pulled her back into the crowd. Before Su Nian could steady herself, he didn’t say a word, yanked off her sunglasses, and kissed her, cupping the back of her head…
“Wow!”
His domineering and powerful kiss was so stunning, even just a profile and a silhouette wowed the entire audience.
Su Nian pounded on his chest but couldn’t escape his lips.
Her head was in a daze from the surrounding exclamations, feeling breathless…
Not until she heard someone whistle, indicating time was up.
Shen Hanxiu’s kiss continued, as if trying to reclaim the lost four years.
People around couldn’t help but clap, and many took out their phones to take pictures.
Someone posted on Weibo: “The most beautiful height difference, even their kiss is so beautiful.”
It wasn’t until she stopped resisting that he let her go, immediately grabbing her hands.
One to support her, the other to prevent a slap from an angry and embarrassed Su Nian.
As it turned out, his foresight was accurate, she indeed tried to hit him.
But before her hand could rise, he grabbed it.
Looking down at her, breathing heavily and annoyed, Shen Hanxiu laughed heartily: “Let’s go, you’ve had a hard time, eat more.”
Su Nian shook off his hand. If it wasn’t for the crowd, she would have certainly cursed him out.
Were the words she told him last time just empty talk?
Today was supposed to be his wedding day, and yet he was doing these things with his ex-wife. What did that mean?
It seems all men are the same, even if they appear serious on the surface, inwardly they still desire beauty beyond their grasp! Eating from their own bowl yet eyeing the pot.
Su Nian really wanted to turn around and leave, but her hand was tightly clasped in his.
People who didn’t know would think they were madly in love.
At the dinner table, he kept serving her food, insisting she eat more because the kiss was free.
Su Nian knew he just wanted to take advantage, after all, he wasn’t someone who lacked money for a meal.
Even though the meal was free, eating it still left Su Nian feeling suffocated.
“Do you want to hang a wish strip later?” Shen Hanxiu asked Su Nian after wiping his mouth.
During their time together, they had spent three Qixi Festivals together, and each time Su Nian would hang a wish strip on the Magpie Bridge.
She remembered the last time they celebrated Qixi Festival together, she was pregnant with their first child, and Ye Jiayao was sowing discord between them. At that time, she chose to trust Shen Hanxiu unconditionally, and her wish was for the family to be safe and together after the baby was born.
It was perhaps the most banal wish she had ever made, but you can’t defy fate, and a few days after making the wish, the eight-month-old baby was prematurely born, and the next day, the child was gone without Su Nian ever seeing that lovely baby.
The loss of the child doomed their futures to diverge.
She couldn’t remain indifferent to Ye Jiayao’s words, nor could she continue to blindly trust Shen Hanxiu after their child’s mysterious disappearance.
Wish strips are fake; they can’t truly fulfil someone’s wishes.
“Interested in such childish things, Third Young Master Shen?” Su Nian stood up, unwilling to dwell on the past.
Shen Hanxiu stood up following her, saying, “Aren’t you the one who is interested in these childish activities?”
He remembered how she used to be, running around like a untethered wild horse as soon as they arrived here, finding this novelty exciting, and that unique.
The ropes of the Magpie Bridge were adorned with red cloth strips – the wish strips.
Fluttering in the wind, they exuded a romantic aura, and the bridge was beautified by the countless lovers coming and going.
Shen Hanxiu followed Su Nian, who was walking with her head down and keeping a step’s distance.
Now, she just walked quietly, not even glancing at the surrounding scenery, as if she had no interest in this place, as if there were no memories of them here…
He had rushed back from France just to spend Qixi Festival with her.
He wasn’t one to care for these holidays, but girls are different, girls’ minds focus on these things.
He feared that if he didn’t come back, the sweetness of other lovers would make her feel lonely.
She always claimed she held no lingering thoughts of the past, but if she really didn’t, why had she been single for four years?
With her looks, there wouldn’t be a shortage of men pursuing her, just as they had recently encountered Song Yang.
