Chapter 6 - Yielding to Force but Rejecting a Soft Approach.

Ji Yunxin no longer paid attention to her, turned and walked towards Su Zhan, took his hands, and said, “Let’s go, let’s go have lunch. I’m hungry.”

“How about that Cantonese restaurant?”

“It’s okay. It’s up to you.”

They went for lunch. What should she do? Did they really leave me by myself in JIMU?

Su Yuanyuan’s facial expression suddenly collapsed.

Su Zhan took his wife out in a few steps, suddenly thought of something, and looked back at Su Yuanyuan. “Let’s go to lunch together. It’s doesn’t matter if you’re hungry or not. Don’t starve my sister’s body.”

“Brother…”

Su Yuanyuan was a little touched. Her brother was also very good to her. But, she was stupid.

“No, you go and eat. I’ll take care of myself.” Su Yuanyuan waved her hands and replied, she didn’t want to be a light bulb. Besides, now that they were guarding against her, it wasn’t interesting to force them to eat at a table.

Su Yuanyuan came out of JIMU to an underground car park and thought about where to go next.

She requested, “I want to go back to the new residence.”

The two bodyguards turned around and immediately replied to her. “I’m sorry Madam, Master told us not to take you to the new residence for the time being.”

Su Yuanyuan glared at them in disbelief. “Why? That’s my home!”

One of them responded. “This is what Mr.Shen told us. We are just stating the truth.”

She took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

Calm down, don’t be angry at other people. They’re just listening to their boss’s order. Shen Yuchen is the big villain behind the scenes.

“What are your names?”

The female bodyguard, who seemed more talkative, said their names. “She’s A’shou and my name is Jiaxin.

Su Yuanyuan held her hand out to them. “Who has their mobile phone on them now? Lend it to me.”

A’Shou unlocked her mobile phone and handed it to her. Su Yuanyuan looked at the light cuboid of the transparent crystal screen on her hand. “Why is this mobile phone so long now? Transparent?”

It seems that she had slept for a few years and could no longer keep up with the new age of technology.

She dialled the number that was familiar in her heart and waited a few seconds for the owner to pick up.

“What’s the matter?”

Su Yuanyuan: “It’s me.”

From the sound of his voice, Yuchen should’ve been sleeping and was awakened by her phone call.

Shen Yuchen paused and asked again: “What’s the matter?”

“I want to go home, back to the new residence. You won’t even let me go home now!?” Su Yuanyuan questioned.

He said: “There is no need for you to go back to the new residence. The place you live is good. You went to the Su residence as well as JIMU, perhaps you haven’t encountered enough dust(rejection) yet, have you?”

How did he know that? Su Yuanyuan immediately looked back at the two bodyguards. They were worthy of being bodyguards and they reported all her movements at any time.

Shen Yuchen had always been soft and not harsh on her. But, now she was a little confused. The situation was different. The soft approach would not work.

“Anyways, I’ve eaten a lot of dust(rejection) today. I don’t mind eating more. I want to see Xiao’Bei and Xiao’Nan, otherwise, I will…” Su Yuanyuan paused, what would be best to threaten someone with…?

Shen Yuchen coldly asked: “What do you want to do again?”

“I just want to see my sons.”

The person on the other end of the line snorted: “They are not your children.”

“Don’t talk nonsense/Cut the crap. Since you say that this body isn’t mine. Then I can do whatever I want.” Just as she finished her sentence, she suddenly felt the two bodyguards abruptly tensed up and stared at her nervously.

It seemed to be effective. Su Yuanyuan continued to threaten her husband: “Don’t force me. Otherwise, I will do everything. By the way, I’d like to remind you that the ground temperature is 40°(104 F) outside.”

Although, it’s easy to say ruthless words. But, she was a little worried she would hear ‘Whatever, I will hang up’ and so on.

“Don’t hurt her body. And, I can consider anything that is not excessive.” Shen Yuchen almost couldn’t compose himself. The only thing he was afraid of in these recent years was hearing the news of that woman harming herself.

I wish I could tie that woman to myself at all times and keep an eye on her.

Shen Yuchen went back and questioned the two nannies who took care of Su Yuanyuan. Recently, there was no abnormal behaviour. After waking up, she sat on the sofa watched TV for a while, and then went to sleep.

Besides eating less recently, sometimes she only ate a few bites and then threw away the chopsticks and then would go back to sitting in front of the TV. No matter how much they tried to persuade her to eat, she refused. But, in the middle of the night, if she was hungry, she would get up and look through the refrigerator.

Last night before going to bed she was normal. There was no problem nor was there any sign of abnormality. But, as soon as the door opened in the morning, she became a demon.

When he heard this, he couldn’t help sighing at the woman’s power. Now, her acting was already handy. Shen Yuchen had been deceived several times before. Now, he was vigilant and wouldn’t be easily fooled.

Su Yuanyuan had control in her hands, thus she wasn’t in a hurry. She asked: “It’s not clear on the phone. Let’s meet up and talk. I’ll set the place and you’ll decide the time.”

Shen Yuchen agreed: “Yes.”

“Starbucks at Crescent Bay Plaza, also bring my cellphone over.” She said

“Two o’clock, I have something else to do later.” He hung up unceremoniously after that as if he didn’t want to say another word to her.

Although the process wasn’t very pleasant, Su Yuanyuan was nevertheless satisfied with the outcome. Next, she just had to patiently wait for the negotiations.

Even though she didn’t like coffee, coffee shops were sometimes a good place to talk.

At present, she had attracted many people’s attention with her strange mix and match style of pyjamas and long coat. Su Yuanyuan picked a seat near the corner and sat down, while the two bodyguards sat separately at the two tables next to her.

After ordering the new desserts and seasonal fruit drinks for lunch. She propped her chin and watched s young couple at the table opposite her go from sweet and cuddly to the cold war to back to being sweet and cuddly again.

Su Yuanyuan, who was inadvertently stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, turned to the other table without any expression. The student didn’t sleep at noon and ran here to write questions.

Su Yuanyuan boringly summarised their table mainly consisted of two top school students, a mediocre student who seemingly behaved like an overachiever until they met a problem, and an underachiever. The group was fervently discussing a math problem, about which auxiliary line was needed to solve the volume on the cartesian plane. The mediocre and underachieving students tried, but confused themselves, then the smart students would come in and show off.

She had been watching it in fascination when Shen Yuchen came over, she turned her eyes back to her husband with some regret.

“Where is my phone?”

Shen Yuchen pushed over a similar large transparent crystal screen phone, and she frowned. “Where is my old one?”

“It’s out of date, I threw it away.”

“…”

Well, it did indeed seem out of date when it’s put into context, and so Su Yuanyuan forgave Yuchen’s action for now.

“Then, have you inserted all those previous photos, and phone card into my new phone, right?

"

"

“No, it’s not transferred. New phone, new number.”

Her anger surged to her throat again, almost bursting out. But, on second thought, Yuchen had his reasons for having to do this.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s new. It just needs to have access to the internet.”

Anyway, she still remembers her old QQ and WeChat logins and passwords, so she should have no problem logging in with a different phone.

“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go back.”

Su Yuanyuan hurriedly pulled him to stop him from leaving. “Wait! We haven’t talked about the most important issue yet, I want to see XiaoBei and XiaoNan.”

Shen Yuchen glanced at her with a scowl: The fact that I gave you my phone number is already the biggest concession that I could make. I hope you won’t make any more outrageous demands, they’re not your children.”

“The two of them are my sons, the children can’t be without their mother. Please allow me to see them, I just want to see how they are now. There are absolutely no crooked thoughts.”

It felt like the more she spoke, the worse her husband’s facial expression became.

Su Yuanyuan was a bit abashed and looked at Shen Yuchen’s face and whispered: “Has XiaoNan and XiaoBei asked where their mommy went?”

Su Yuanyuan’s words directly stimulated Shen Yuchen’s heart. How could they not ask, children at their age were the most curious and would often pester adults to ask questions.

And the most frequent question they asked him was when would their mother return?

When the twins first started kindergarten, they often came home with red eyes and asked why it took them so long to see their mother, when other children’s mothers were at home eating and sleeping together.

The two little beans would lay in their father’s lap and ask. “Why does mummy only come over to see us once in a while, we want to live with mummy and daddy too. Although grandpa’s place is nice, we still want to live with mummy and daddy.”

Shen Yuchen’s usually busy with work. He sent the children to his in-law’s house and he lived in his apartment in the city centre. Sometimes he slept at the company he didn’t go home.

‘Su Yuanyuan’ had been living at the family home, and the servants would take care of her.

He had always told his sons that their mother was studying abroad, that her studies were very demanding, and it would take a long time for her to return from school, and that they should be more understanding of their mother’s hardships.

This kind of nonsense would only be able to deceive children who were a few years old, but it’s within the expectation that it would be impossible to hide it from them when they were older.

Shen Yuchen looked at the bright eyes of his sons and that time decided to buy another villa for that ‘woman’ to live alone.

He took his sons home from his in-laws, and all the photos and frames that he had previously locked away were put back in place. Along with that sometimes he would hold his sons and look through the previous photos of him and Yuanyuan.

From then on, Shen Yuchen would go home even if he worked overtime until late. Instead of saying good night to his sons, he would try to say good morning to them.

Occasionally, on some important festivals or his sons’ birthdays, that ‘woman’ would be allowed to come over and have a meal together. XiaoNan and XiaoBei would happily say a lot of things to her and even be too excited to sleep that night.

But, when the next day came and found that their mother had gone again, they would cry and shout for her, wanting their mother to come back. In the end, Shen Yuchen would use lies to make up a beautiful world for them.

Even Su Zhan sometimes said that in recent years he had lived a hard life.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll take care of everything” Shen Yuchen spoke coldly. “If you hadn’t possessed her body, all of this wouldn’t have happened.”

“It’s not me….” This matter, her mouth was full of it, yet she couldn’t say it.

Su Yuanyuan looked at her husband very earnestly. “I want to meet them, just to meet and talk to find out how they are doing.”

Translator Rambling:

Okay, so I gotta say our ml is the best father and husband. He worked really hard to take care of his two children in the absence of his wife. Some might think he is an asshole because of his initial attitudes towards mc, but you gotta understand to him that’s someone who possessed his beloved wife’s body, he doesn’t know that she is back. So, it is within expectations for him to act like the way he is acting. Honestly, I have read so many transmigration novels and got annoyed how the mls be suddenly be attracted to their wives and won’t seem to see the difference. I would think did they live with a wall or something to not to see any difference or feel strange about it. So I honestly feel this is one of the most realistic ml there, his reactions and actions are fully understandable and within expectations of a normal person’s reaction. And trust me as the story progresses ml becomes so much sweeter… Won’t spoil it, kek
