Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

As if possessed, Shang Chenyan reached out, and when his fingertips were an inch away from hers, Shi Ying instinctively dodged away.

Meeting her questioning gaze, Shang Chenyan pulled a tissue from the box and handed it to her: "It got on your face."

Shi Ying quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped her face: "Where? Are you clean?"

The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and before she could react, he grabbed her wrist and guided her hand to wipe her left cheek.

"It's clean now."

Shi Ying's throat moved, and a trace of burning heat remained on her wrist. She awkwardly tossed aside the tissue and quickly finished off a bowl of wontons.

"I'll go wash the dishes."

Before she could leave, Shang Chenyan stopped her: "Just leave it here. Zhang Ma will come to clean it up tomorrow."

"No need, it's just one bowl..." She wasn't so lazy as to not be able to wash a bowl.

Without saying a word, Shang Chenyan took the bowl from her hand and put it down: "I was afraid you would break my bowl."

Shi Ying pouted and said, "Fine, I won't wash it then."

"Then I'll go upstairs to rest." After saying that, she turned around and ran upstairs.

Shang Chenyan watched her figure disappear at the end of the stairs before looking down at the bowl on the table.

In a daze, he seemed to see Shi Ying from five years ago.

She sat in the chair, ordering him to wash the dishes, but after he went into the kitchen, she ran over and hugged him from behind, asking coquettishly, "Shang Chenyan, do you think I'm lazy?"

The man smiled good-naturedly: "How could that be? Being with me means you don't need to do anything."

Shi Ying pressed her cheek against his back: "Let's hire a housekeeper from now on. I feel sorry for you working so hard."

"Then I need to work hard to earn money so that Yingying can live the best life."

Later, he possessed countless assets, but lost the person he loved most.

The next day, Shang Chenyan didn't go to the company on time. Instead, she called the doctor to give her another thorough examination.

"Isn't this a bit too much trouble?" Shi Ying looked at the various instruments being pushed in, her mouth agape.

It turns out that even a domineering CEO doesn't need to go to the hospital for a physical examination.

"Yes, we need to. We don't know if they did anything to you that day. It wouldn't be good if you got injured somewhere."

Shi Ying was pushed around to do one examination after another. When it was over, she collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.

Shang Chenyan had changed out of his pajamas at some point, and his camel coat made him look even more upright: "Today is Grandma Niannian's birthday. I'm taking her back. If you want to eat something tonight, just ask Zhang Ma to make it."

"Okay." Shi Ying saw Shang Nian following beside Shang Chenyan. Today she was wearing a light yellow cotton coat, and her fair and tender face looked like a glutinous rice ball.

She rubbed and kneaded it with obvious affection; it was so adorable.

Shang Chenyan put a scarf and gloves on Shang Nian. Shi Ying saw them off, and Shang Nian turned back to wave goodbye before getting into the car.

"Bye-bye~" Shi Ying waved to her as well.

On the bus, Shang Nian leaned against the window and looked back until Shi Ying's figure became a small black dot before sitting up listlessly.

Shang Chenyan pinched her cheek: "I'll be back after dinner, I won't stay long."

"After Dad is gone, they won't take you there again." He felt a chill when he thought about the last time Shang Nian ran away on her own.

After that day, Cheng Suyun called him to explain that she had asked the nanny to take Shang Nian to take a nap, but Shang Nian disappeared without a word, scaring everyone half to death.

Shang Chenyan also asked Shang Nian why she ran away on her own, but Shang Nian refused to answer.

But no matter what, it must have been someone from the old house who said or did something to upset her, otherwise Niannian, being so sensible, wouldn't have acted recklessly.

Shang Nian blinked and grabbed his finger.

"What's wrong?"

Shang Nian pointed in the direction behind them. Shang Chenyan thought for a moment before saying, "I want to ask why Mom isn't coming with us?"

Shang Nian nodded.

Shang Chenyan was eager to let everyone know that his wife was back, but he didn't dare, for fear of scaring Shi Ying away.

He had finally gotten her to agree to live with him, and if he did anything inappropriate before she had any feelings for him, Shi Ying would definitely leave.

He couldn't rush things; he couldn't scare her away with a momentary impulse.

"Because Mommy and Daddy haven't made up yet, we can't let others know she's your mommy, otherwise Mommy will be unhappy."

"Don't hold a grudge against your mother just because she hasn't been by your side all these years; it's not her fault."

Shang Nian seemed to understand, but not quite.

But Shang Chenyan has been repeatedly thinking back over the years, wondering if he unintentionally did something to make her angry, which is why she suddenly left.

Before going to see the snow that day, the two had an argument about what to wear.

She had just finished her postpartum confinement period, and he was afraid she would catch a cold, so he wrapped her in several thick layers, which made Shi Ying keep saying that he was making a fuss over nothing.

Including in the past, he would interfere in her food, clothing and daily necessities. Although he thought it was for her own good, wouldn't Yingying feel that he was too domineering?

Shang Chenyan received no answer.

He just wanted Shi Ying to come back. As long as she came back, he would listen to her in everything, and he would change anything.

As my thoughts raced, I stopped the car outside the old house.

Shang Chenyan led Shang Nian out of the car, and after entering, they found an uninvited guest in the grand and luxurious living room.

When Xia Zongyuan saw the man enter, he quickly stood up and smiled ingratiatingly, "President Shang..."

Shang Haisheng and Cheng Suyun were sitting on the sofa. Shang Haisheng put down his teacup and said, "Chen Yan is in charge of company affairs now. Since you're here, President Xia, please talk to him if you have anything to say."

Shang Chenyan took off his coat and led Shang Nian to Shang Haisheng: "Dad, take Nian Nian upstairs to play for a while."

When Shang Haisheng saw his granddaughter, his face crinkled with a smile: "Come here, Niannian, let Grandpa hold you, let's go play in the study."

Shang Nian obediently followed them upstairs.

There were only two people left in the living room for a moment.

Shang Chenyan sat down on his own, his handsome face expressionless. He leaned back on the sofa, glancing at the standing man, but did not speak.

Xia Zongyuan quickly bowed and apologized, "President Shang, it's my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly. Please rest assured, I will definitely educate her well in the future. Could you please be lenient and withdraw the appeal?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a teacup smashed onto his forehead.

The porcelain cup shattered, and blood flowed down the man's forehead, instantly staining half of his face red.

Xia Zongyuan was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down.

Shang Chenyan looked down at him, his voice cold and menacing: "Withdraw the charges?"

"Who do you think you are, daring to come begging to me?"

Xia Zongyuan's voice trembled uncontrollably: "President Shang, as long as you don't appeal, I'll agree to whatever you ask..."

He only has one daughter. Although she's incredibly stupid, she's still his daughter. Shang Chenyan seems to want Xia Qian to stay in jail for the rest of her life. The legal department of the Shang Group is no pushover, so he has no choice but to shamelessly beg him.

A mocking glint appeared in Shang Chenyan's eyes: "What do you have that makes me want to ask anything of you?"

The contemptuous tone made Xia Zongyuan's face turn red and white in turns. He couldn't bear to be mocked like that by a junior.

"Such a deep father-daughter bond, should I be a good person and send you in to keep her company?" Shang Chenyan raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, the Xia family is bankrupt. How about I take pity on President Xia and find her a place to stay?"

Xia Zongyuan's eyes widened: "No, no, no... President Shang, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

Tired of listening to his nagging anymore, Shang Chenyan called over the butler: "Throw him out."

"Yes, young master."

The butler waved his hand, and several security guards came in, grabbed Xia Zongyuan, and threw him out.

The hostility in Shang Chenyan's eyes had not yet dissipated. His wife had finally returned, but she was almost bullied by this group of people.

jail?

She got off too easily.

He wanted her to suffer a fate worse than death in prison.
