Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 435 Wanting Her Heart

"Brother Kai, I was going to give you a drone, a really cool one, but someone stole it. But Mommy has already scolded them. Next time, I'll take you to see one again, okay?"

Speaking of this, the little girl still looked regretful.

Xiao Ruonan frowned. "Them? Who are they? Who stole your things? Tell your auntie so I can clean up for you!"

“It’s Jiang Rourou and her son!” Su Ying blurted out. “I’ve already dealt with them. Four years have passed, but she’s still a leopard that can’t change its spots!” Speaking of Jiang Rourou, Xiao Ruonan went on and on, “Of course! Ever since Jiang Rourou had a son, you have no idea how arrogant she’s become. Her son is so spoiled that he’s also incredibly arrogant, often bullying the servants. He has no manners whatsoever when he sees people. Even the cleaning staff treats him like royalty. The old man is getting on in years and naturally doesn’t have the energy to deal with these things. He’s just let them be. Someone should have stepped in and dealt with them a long time ago!”

"There's one thing that I find strange, though. Their son, Jiye, doesn't look like Jiang Rourou or Jiayang. Isn't that odd? It's like they got the wrong person..."

"Shh..." Don't say things like that, or your Xiao family will be thrown into chaos! Su Wen teasedly reminded him.

Xiao Ruonan stopped talking.

It was almost 10 p.m. when Xiao Kai's birthday party ended. Shen Qingfeng drove Su Ying and Tian Tian home.

Sweetie was very well-behaved. After washing up, she climbed into bed and played by herself. Shen Qingfeng brought the warmed Chinese medicine packet to Su Ying's room.

"Oh dear! I almost forgot again, look at my brain!" Su Ying said embarrassedly.

Shen Qingfeng smiled indulgently, "It's alright, you forgot you still have me!"

Su Ying gently closed the door. After she finished drinking the herbal medicine, Shen Qingfeng handed her some pre-prepared cooled boiled water, afraid that it would taste bitter.

Four years have passed, and Shen Qingfeng is even more concerned about this matter than Su Ying herself. It seems that with him around, she is much more at ease.

"Breeze!"

Shen Qingfeng looked up at her.

"How about we pick a date and get our marriage certificate?"

Shen Qingfeng chuckled, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Su Ying lowered her eyes. "It's been four years. I'm an adult now, and I can tell who's good to me and who's not. To be honest, I don't want to let you down. Su Wen is right, I should give you a proper status!"

Shen Qingfeng grasped her shoulders, his fingertips rubbing her skin beneath the thin fabric. Looking at her, his eyes were full of tenderness. "I'm really happy that you think this way. It seems my four years of hard work haven't been in vain. But that's not what I want!"

"Huh? What do you want?" Su Ying asked curiously.

Shen Qingfeng's hand slipped down and touched her heart. "I want this!"

He wanted more than just the marriage certificate, the identity, and the person; he wanted her heart.

"I know I'm pushing my luck, but I only feel safe when your heart is with me. And Su Ying, do you know what? A marriage certificate doesn't mean anything. It only means you pity me and feel sorry for me. I don't want that!"

"No, Qingfeng, listen to me..."

"I know you just want to make up for what you didn't do, but that's not love. Being with me like that would be torture for you. Listen to me, I don't want anything in return. I just want a chance to see you happy and be there for you. That's enough!"

Love that demands possession is not love, it's possession. True love and affection are selfless, based on empathy, sharing in the other person's joy and sorrow.

Even if the other person doesn't end up with me, as long as they are happy, I am happy.

"Qingfeng, I..." Su Ying felt even more guilty.

Such a good man, yet he wasted his time and feelings on her, while she could give him nothing in return... Xiao family old house.

Early in the morning, Xiao Ruonan took her son Kunkun to kindergarten.

Usually, the family driver or Ning Zhiyuan takes the child home, but today, the little guy specifically asked his mother to take him.

After four years of trials, Xiao Ruonan has shed the impulsiveness and naivety of a little girl and become a mother, gaining more composure and forbearance.

As they walked, Kun Kun suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Kun Kun?"

Xiao Ruonan looked up following his gaze, and Xiao Shen stood there like a giant tower.

She already knew about Xiao Shen's return to the country, but she ignored him and was still angry about Su Ying's situation, feeling that he was irresponsible and heartless.

She and Su Ying became very good friends, and friends should stand up for each other.

"What's your name?"

Kun Kun looked up to see his mother's reaction first. Seeing that she didn't object, he answered in his childish voice, "My name is Kun Kun!"

"Kun Kun, the name 'Heaven and Earth' is wonderful!" Xiao Shen pondered for a moment, then nodded in approval. "Do you like it? Your fourth uncle gave it to you!"

A blind box lay in Xiao Shen's palm.

This is currently the most popular toy among children. It is said that the contents of each blind box can make other children envious for quite some time.

"So you're my fourth uncle!"

Kunkun reached for it, but Xiao Ruonan grabbed him, saying, "Didn't your mother tell you not to accept things from strangers so easily? There's no time to spare, hurry up and go!"

"But he's my fourth uncle, not a stranger!" the child naively thought.

Xiao Ruonan insisted on pulling him away.

"Ruonan!" Xiao Shen called out to her.

"I know you're still angry with me, but that happened four years ago. Why let it affect our sibling relationship? Don't you want me to be happy?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruonan became furious. She turned around abruptly and said, "Yes, I'm happy for you if you're doing well, but you don't need to build your happiness on Su Ying's pain, do you? Do you know what you're doing? Deception, manipulation! You've ruined Su Ying's life!"

Xiao Shen shrugged. "But she also received a large sum of compensation from me, didn't she? And now she's living the high life with another man, isn't she? Ruonan, don't think so highly of human nature. You think I hurt her, but she might be more than happy about it!"

Xiao Ruonan shook her head speechlessly, "I don't know why you would have such a thought. Never mind, Su Ying is very happy now. Dr. Shen treats her very well. You can go back to China. I hope you can live your own life from now on and not bother Su Ying!"

Xiao Ruonan forcibly pulled Kunkun away, while Xiao Shen fell into deep thought.

Are you living happily with Shen Qingfeng?
What makes Su Ying so special?
If he's not happy, she can't be happy either!
In front of Ruyi Restaurant.

Su Ying didn't have time to change into her own clothes before rushing off to deliver materials and documents to the branch store.

The fitted black mini-skirt hugged her great figure. While it wasn't exactly curvaceous, she had everything she needed. Her waist was still so slim, her skin still so fair, and her legs still so long. With every step she took, the charm of a mature woman was enough to make any man envious.
