Ch.338 Illness (2)

"I'm leaving." Su Yaya looked at him again, turned and walked a few steps, she couldn't 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 didn't answer, he really was quite busy.

She asked the driver to start the car, "Go to the Shen's."

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 Xiuqi's office, she ran into Shen Xiuqi.

"Xiuqi."

When Shen Xiuqi saw her, he quickly walked towards her to hold her, and asked: "Why are you here? Why didn’t you give me a call before coming?"

Su Yaya said: "I did but you didn't answer."

Shen Xiuqi said hurriedly: "I was in a meeting just now."

Su Yaya guessed that was the case, and didn't put much thought to it, she said: "I just went to the hospital to visit your dad, I talked to him for a while."

Shen Xiuqi paused, then took her hand and said, "Let's go sit in my office, you must be tired from all the standing."

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, "I don't have soda here, only water."

Su Yaya had no choice but to say: "Then I’ll have water."

Shen Xiuqi went to bring her a glass of hot water, and told her: "Be careful, it’s hot."

Su Yaya took the cup and held it in her hand. The palms of her hands finally felt warm, but she didn’t feel good. She looked at Shen Xiuqi and said, "Father 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."

Shen Xiuqi sneered when he heard her say this, "When 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?"

Su Yaya was silent for a moment, she looked up at Shen Xiuqi and said, "Xiuqi, this is my thoughts on this, my guess, hear me out to see if I’m right, maybe your father knew that he was sick on the exact same time your grandfather fell ill, he was dying, that’s why didn't 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?"

Shen Xiuqi was silent for a moment, expressionless. After a while, he said, "When he was young, he lived like this even when he wasn’t sick. He was constantly surrounded with different women, when did he ever care about this? After all, he has always been like this. It doesn’t matter whether he is sick or not. He has always lived like this!"

Su Yaya felt that Shen Xiuqi was being too narrow-minded, she stretched out her hand and said, "Don't think like this…..."

Shen Xiuqi pulled away, stood up and took two steps, he sighed and said to Su Yaya: "It's not that I don't want to think this way, I just can’t not." He stopped talking for a bit and continued: " Okay, Yaya, let's not talk about him."

Su Yaya saw that Shen Xiuqi wasn’t in a good mood, so she didn't go on, she then nodded to Shen Xiuqi and said, "Okay then, how was work today?"

Shen Xiuqi smiled and said, "It’s nothing much." He looked at her tummy again and asked: "Is the baby behaving today?"

Su Yaya said: "The baby is behaving quite well."

Shen Xiuqi looked at her tummy and said, "I want to touch your tummy."

Su Yaya saw as if he was begging her like a little kid, she couldn't help but smile, "Go ahead."

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 Yaya's belly still didn’t 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, "Are you done?"

Shen Xiuqi took a deep breath, suppressed all the complicated emotions he was feeling, smiled and replied: "I'm fine, I really want the baby to come out quickly, so I can play with the baby."

Su Yaya groaned: "When the baby comes out, it’s still so small, the baby can’t play with you yet."

Shen Xiuqi said solemnly: "I will be by the baby’s side and watch as the baby grows, play with the baby, and I’ll always be present, is that nice?"

Su Yaya smiled, "That’s the best."

"I also think that it’s a good idea." Shen Xiuqi smiled and kissed her on her forehead lovingly.
