Chapter 8 - Little Sweet Cookie

Chapter 8 – Little Sweet Cookie 1

A string of foreign words emerged from sister Xue Li’s mouth, which translated to: “You’re not unreasonable. It’s just that you don’t talk, and you like to be on your own. Sometimes you even talked to yourself, and your emotions were unstable.”

“Ah…. I also talk to myself?”

“Yes. Sister Xue Li said that Madam often talks to herself alone, sometimes for a long time. They were also a little scared. But, A’shou and I haven’t seen Madam like that since we moved here.”

The more she heard this information, the more Su Yuanyuan’s back felt a cold chill. Why does it feel like I’m listening to a ghost story ? She hurriedly changed the topic. “Help me buy an A2 sketchbook and fine-grain sketch paper tomorrow. As for Mitsubishi pencils, buy it at your discretion.” She thought about it and then said: “Forget it, I’d better make a list for you. Just buy them tomorrow accordingly.”

“Does Madam want to draw?”

“Mhm. It’s been a long time since I drew. I want to practice to retrieve that feeling I had back then.” She used to be an art student who studied drawing. She also majored and specialised in fine arts back in university.

2

At that time, she finished her second year of study last semester and had decided on her dissertation. The next step was to spend time and energy on it, but she was pregnant, so it became rather difficult to do.

Yuchen was the one who accompanied her to the oral defence of her dissertation. She was six months (24-28 weeks) pregnant with twins, so her body was really heavy. Thus, Yuchen was also busy taking care of her because he was afraid that she would bump into things.

Shen Yuchen moved all his official business work to home, as well as all high-level meetings were instead video meetings. He would only rush back to the company if it were crucial.

Later, her belly grew bigger and bigger, like a balloon inflating up, and it was getting increasingly inconvenient to move around. Thus, Shen Yuchen was even more nervous than before, he wanted to serve her to the point of helping her wear clothes and spoon-feeding.

This lasted for about half a month, and Su Yuanyuan couldn’t bear it.

“Can you please stop staring at me all day long?” She said to the man on the sofa who was sneakily staring at her.

Ever since Su Yuanyuan became pregnant, she had lost her temper multiple times over the months, but Yuchen had tolerated her. Even Xiao Yu said that her temper was unpredictable during her pregnancy. However, Shen Yuchen didn’t care at all and pampered her increasingly in the palms of his hand.

Shen Yuchen turned the page of the document in his hands and calmly replied: “No, you are mistaken. I have been reading the year-end report.”

“Liar, you have been staring at me nonstop just now, but you refuse to admit it even after I caught you. I’m pregnant, but I’m not a prisoner. Why are you guarding me so vigorously?”

She stood up discontentedly and walked over towards Shen Yuchen.

Suddenly, as she walked over, Su Yuanyuan’s left foot became unstable and her body fell forward uncontrollably. She exclaimed in her heart, Not good ! But she could only hold her rotund belly

Thankfully, Yuchen quickly rushed over to catch her, and then laid his body under her body to reduce the impact.

She was alright; the baby was also fine.

Su Yuanyuan timidly moved her lips and apologised with a voice softer than a mosquito: “Hubby, I’m sorry…”

However, there was no response from Yuchen. She felt something was wrong and raised her head.

Shen Yuchen looked at her fixedly. His eyes were a little red. “Su Yuanyuan, do you know what would have happened if I hadn’t caught you just now?”

He’s livid.

She blankly stared at Yuchen, and suddenly condemned herself. Her nose sore, tears streamed down her cheeks, “I’m sorry sobs … Hubby, I was careless just now. sobs … It terrified me, the babies might have got hurt sobs …”

Later, her tears streamed down non-stop and cried continuously for five to six minutes. Shen Yuchen carried her back to sit on the sofa. He took tissues to help her wipe her tears while gritting his teeth and said: “Next time, try saying that ‘I always stare at you’. Can I not look at you? Even when I look at you so closely, something will still happen. If Aunt Song and I were not home, what would happen? Just now I was so scared to the point my heart almost stopped.”

Su Yuanyuan cried and hiccuped, “Stop, stop it. I know I’m wrong.”

“You know you’re wrong, so do you dare to do it next time?”

“No, I don’t…“ She shook her head back and forth.

Shen Yuchen was still angry and thus nibbled on his wife’s face, “I’m the one dying of anger and yet I have to comfort you.”

She lifted her body to kiss her husband’s eyes: “Then I’ll give you a kiss too, don’t be angry.”

He thought this was not enough, “I want compensation.”

“But, now I’m……” 3

“Not now, wait until the babies are born. Anyway, we will have time for that.” Shen Yuchen’s eyes were filled with meaningful intentions.

Su Yuanyuan shrank into her husband’s arms and pretended to be a turtle, muttering, “I heard nothing.”

Listening to the muffled laughter coming from Shen Yuchen’s chest, she spent a leisurely and bright afternoon.

4

Su Yuanyuan opened her eyes and removed the mask on her face. The water in the foot spa massager became cold. Sigh , now she could only spend boring afternoons with four other women blowing rainbow farts at each other. 5

These days she didn’t forget the circuitous tactics. She also used flanking harassment tactics and took turns calling the family members on her contact list. 7

She tried to talk to both of them about her situation. But, they always drag the conversation to talk about the scenic spots and the experiences in the countries they were touring.

And as they talked…they also led her into it. And after the phone call conversation went down, there was no substantial progress. Today, they also had a phone call, the two elders said they were touring in a very developed country called Wakanda… 8

Su Zhan that scum simply didn’t answer her call. This went on for several days, and not once did he answer her calls. He had probably blacklisted her as a harassment call.

Su Yuanyuan also called Xiao Yu before, and she quickly picked up and answered.

“Xiao Yu, it’s me, Yuanyuan.”

Ji Yuxin paused, Su Yuanyuan thought she was going to hang up and hurriedly spoke. “Don’t hang up, don’t hang up. I just want to talk to you, I’m not here to brainwash you!”

Ji Yuxin lowered her voice and seemed to have walked outside: “It’s useless for you to find me. I will not betray Yuanyuan.”

She replied: “Emm, as much as I appreciate you saying you won’t betray me. But, you misunderstood. I just want to-”

Before Su Yuanyuan could finish, there was a click on the other end of the phone, and then Su Zhan’s lazy voice came from the phone.

“Why are you calling again?”

“Again? You recognise this number?” She immediately grasped the important factor. It turned out that Su Zhan had long known that this number was her, but just never answered it. “Su Zhan, did you blacklist me!?”

“No, it’s just that I don’t feel like accepting the call.”

.”..Fine, bastard brother Su Zhan, you better remember, if you want to contact (me) in the future, you better stick your message in a bottle.” 9

Su Zhan softly humphed. “Don’t worry, that won’t happen. Likewise, don’t think about starting with Yuxin, she is a bit slow-witted, but she is not a fool.”

On the other side of the phone, Ji Yuxin immediately disagreed: “Su Zhan, what are you saying? Do you want to quarrel, or do you want to sleep in the study tonight!”

And the latter sentence Su Yuanyuan couldn’t hear very well, as if someone pinched the phone’s receiving port, then it suddenly became noisy.

“Hello, hello, hello?”

“Dududu–”

Fuck, he hung up.

Su Yuanyuan touched her chin and thought her brother trained his mouth by arguing with her from childhood. In terms of arguing, Xiao Yu might not be his opponent.

She continued to call Shen Yuchen. After she got the phone, she called him almost every day, but Shen Yuchen only answered the phone three times.

Su Yuanyuan consoled herself that maybe he was in a meeting or talking about something, so he didn’t have the time to take her calls.

Anyway, it’s his business to answer or not, and it’s her liberty to call him.

This time, it also rang for a long time before it was picked up.

“What is it?”

The corners of Su Yuanyuan’s mouth rose, and the person in front of the mirror had a smile no different from a girl in love.

“Nothing, I just wanted to call you and hear your voice.”

Shen Yuchen: “…”

“Have you returned from work yet?”

He replied: “No.”

“When can I see Xiao Bei and Xiao Nan?” The past few days she had simply missed her boys very much.

Su Yuanyuan thought to herself that if it weren’t for her wanting to see her sons, she wouldn’t have called this big pig hoof, humph. 10

Shen Yuchen’s attitude steeply cooled down, “It’s not arranged yet. If there is nothing important in the future, please don’t call every day. I’m very busy.”

“Oh, understood. You take care of your health. Bye, bye.” She then quickly hung up the phone before Shen Yuchen could.

Excellent.

She has successfully conveyed the feeling of being hung up by someone else to Shen Yuchen.

Inside the office of the chairman of Shen Group, Shen Yuchen’s face sank as he listened to the beeping sound. The assistant who knocked in to report on his work suddenly felt as if he had come in at the wrong time when he saw the face of his boss.

A week quickly passed, Su Yuanyuan looked in the mirror and found that her face had recently improved a lot. Her complexion was good, and now her skin was slowly regaining its glowing fairness.

It’s just that the collagen on her face was not as good as it used to be. And her metabolism slowed down a lot. However, she still looked much younger than her peers in appearance.

She had lost a bit of her stomach (fat) but needed to work harder.

Recently, she asked A’shou and Jia Xin to help her take a few photos of her daily life. She picked two that looked decent to send them to her parents. However, when she pressed send, her phone suddenly froze and she accidentally clicked on Shen Yuchen’s avatar when she was sliding around.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the wording in the text message sent and couldn’t help but fall into silence.

The message was sent to the wrong person.

Would Shen Yuchen think that she was harassing him, not only by phone calls but now also by text message?

She was a person who thought deeply over simple matters, so what if because of this text message, Yuchen’s antipathy towards her deepened again. He already disliked her, and she didn’t want to press on his bottom line again.

Su Yuanyuan hugged a soft pillow and sunk into the sofa. After contemplating it, she sent another message.

“Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person, and I cannot withdraw the message. You can look at it. If it’s annoying, delete it. It won’t take up your space.”

Ali: I like her personality. She is savage but also sensitive. But, what I like the most is her savageness. ;P

Also sons, babies, children are because Su Yuanyuan has two children (twin boys) if anyone is confused, which you shouldn’t be. 😛 But, still….

Also soz there was no February update, but I will update again this month. So this one is for February, <3
