C44 (1/2)

Shen Yuxin's eyes opened wide, completely against her expectations. She became more puzzled, did Song Yang have a brother? But he hadn't mentioned it in the year they'd been together.

”Our parents are divorced. He is in A City with his gentle father, and I …” His eyes became distant as he thought back to that unbearable past. It was the last thing he knew that he did not want anyone to know, even Song Yang did not know about that past.

”I'll go with Mom.” In the end, he still didn't say it out. Chen Wenhao thought: Maybe I will be like this forever. I won't be able to see the light of day in this dark corner.

Shen Chu saw his complex expression, she raised her hand to hold his hand and said, ”I'm sorry.” Resisting the pain and the surging self-blame, she owed him these three words.

Chen Wenhou shook his head. For a while, neither of them spoke, so both of them fell silent.

He did not know how much courage she had spat it out.

When Chen Wenhou received a call, his expression changed. He turned around and left the hospital after instructing her a few things. He did not appear again for a whole two days. When he appeared again, Shen Yuxin almost did not recognize him.

At that time, the man who paid the most attention to his appearance had sunken eyes. His eyes were full of bloodstains, and his black beard was protruding from his chin. His clothes were the same as the one he wore two days ago.

Shen Chuxin was sitting by the sickbed, feeding breakfast porridge that she brought over from the Su residence in the morning.

She called her yesterday to ask about the wedding, and Shen Chuxin agreed to meet up with her. Xiao Su had been interested in cooking for the past few days and had learned a good piece of porridge. When she came back, Xiao Su had already packed them for ChenChen.

Chen's eyes were red and swollen as he looked at Chen Chen who was smiling at him. He walked over to Shen Chuxin, and just as she was about to feed him some porridge, he kneeled down on one knee, lifted his dejected face, and asked Shen Chuxin, ”Chuxin, can you marry me?

”Uncle Chen?”

ChenChen who was on the sickbed looked at the man kneeling on the floor looking at his mother in confusion. His little hands unconsciously tugged on Shen Chuxin's shirt sleeves, ”Mommy?”

The world of adults is too complicated.

Shen Chuxin slowly put the bowl on the table, extending her hand to support him, ”Chen Wenhao, get up first, if you have anything to say, please say it.”

Chen Wenhuo was still the same, he only stared at her and asked, ”Xinxin, can you consider marrying me?” His voice was hoarse and rough, and one could imagine that he had not been having a good time these past two days.

Shen Yuxin didn't know anything about the first time, so she didn't dare to easily agree to what happened at the wedding.

But when this gentle man became stubborn, it frightened her, and when she thought about it, he could not get up.

After a stalemate like this for an hour, Shen Chuxin looked at Chenchen who looked like she wanted to say something but dared not to. She touched his head, kissed his face, and asked, ”Chenchen, what do you want to say?”

”Can you tell me?”

”Mommy, Uncle Chen said he will take care of us for Daddy Suo,” he said as he gulped down his saliva and pulled at her shirt.

So it was like this. ChenChen had always known this, which was why he suddenly agreed to their marriage.

Only now did Shen Yuxin know.

She pursed her lips tightly, turned her head to look at him, and calmly asked him: ”Did you marry me because of Song Yang?”

Chen Wenhua's eyes flashed, he nodded, but then shook his head, ”Yes, but it's not exactly like that.”

Shen Chuxin stared into his eyes, sizing up his body language. Seeing him say this, his right hand unconsciously tightened and then loosened. His eyes were calm and had a gloom that she couldn't understand.

”I promise you, but I also want you to promise me one thing.”

”Alright!” Without the slightest bit of hesitation or consideration, Chen Wenhou snatched away her words, his haggard face revealing a bit of happiness.

”Why don't you wait for me to finish before agreeing. You're not afraid that I'll let you …”

”I believe you.” Because he was willing to believe in people who he trusted.

Moreover, how could he not know what sort of person she was after spending so much time with her.

When Chen heard their words, although he did not understand what they were talking about, he understood something. ”Uncle Chen, in the future, will you tell me about what happened to Suixiu's father when he was young every night?”

The unspeakably bedraggled Chen Wenhua reached out his hand to stroke his bald head and nodded with a gentle smile, ”Yes.”

”But that's not the secret of us men, is it?” Chen Chen said in disappointment.

Shen Chuxin lightly tapped his forehead, pretending to be angry, ”Okay, now you're already hiding it from me?”

”Mommy, we didn't do it on purpose!” Morningstar sat up, threw himself on top of her, wrapped his arms around her neck, and shook her.

Shen Chu saw that Chen Wenhao's gaze was always on somewhere and knew that it was an urgent matter. She placed ChenChen on the sickbed and gently smiled to him, ”Uncle Chen and mom should go out for a bit. Can you sleep by yourself, ChenChen?”

ChenChen did not want to be alone, but she still nodded after feeling conflicted.

”Then come back quickly.”

”En, be good.”
