On the big car, two children sat closely together.
Su Bao spread his hand in front of Su Zhen, commanding, "Give it to me."
Su Zhen hid her small hand behind her back, setting terms, "If I give it to you, you have to bring me here again in the future!"
Su Bao coldly "hmphed", and only then did Su Zhen hand over the hair she was holding.
He had only seen the photo of that man in Mom's drawer and couldn't completely confirm if it was their Daddy; he needed a more authoritative method to verify.
Su Bao carefully put the hair away, instructing Su Zhen, "Don't mention today's incident to Mom when we get back."
"Humph! If you bully me in the future, I'll tell Mom that Su Bao went out to play alone and left me at home!"
The car arrived at its stop, rocking back and forth, with only the afterglow of the sun remaining; the two children got back home before Su Nian finished work, safe and sound, and Shen Hanxiu's business talks had also concluded.
Shen Hanxiu sat at his desk, fiddling with a pen, his anxious mood apparent.
He sat like this until late at night, finally receiving a call from Yang Zichen, "President Shen, we've clarified everything, I've sent the documents to your email, I think... there's the person you're looking for."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hanxiu immediately opened his laptop, his email containing several sets of photos.
A picture showed a woman in a warm-colored suit, walking with two children, one male and one female—the same children from this morning. Although only the woman's side face was visible in the photo, Shen Hanxiu recognized her.
The two children, one named Su Bao, the other Su Zhen; such rustic names could only be chosen by her.
Seeing the location at the bottom of the photos, it was a small town about four to five hours away from Mai City.
Shen Hanxiu closed his laptop, grabbed his coat and car keys, and left.
The black Maybach merged into the night, disappearing at the end of the straight road...
The next day, the morning light was soft, streaming through the glass window onto the bed, where two children lay close together, deep in sleep. At that moment, the bedroom door opened, revealing a young woman dressed in a white casual shirt, with a wrap skirt, her petite body appearing quite capable and more mature for her youth.
"Zhenzhen, Su Bao, Mom is going to work, eat breakfast on your own when you wake up, and be careful going to school."
The little girl rubbed her eyes looking at the woman, then shaking off her previous sleepiness, brightly said, "Mom, I dreamed of Daddy, he looked really handsome!"
Su Bao turned his head to look at her, tugging at her hand, signaling her not to mention Daddy in front of Mom, but she never listened!
Hiding the bitterness in her heart and the sense of debt towards her children, she smiled, "Really? Daddy came to visit you in your dreams."
Su Zhen was about to speak again, but Su Bao firmly squeezed her hand, leading Su Zhen to start fake crying immediately: "Wu~ Mom, Su Bao pinched my hand!"
The woman smiled, it was always Su Zhen bullying Su Bao, and now she was playing the victim, "Mommy is going to be late, Zhenzhen, you should listen to your brother, okay."
Su Zhen nodded, both children chorused, "Bye Mom."
Perhaps heaven took pity on her for losing her first child, blooming her life with these two adorable children. Looking at the well-behaved children, she felt that every decision she made was right and all the hardships she endured were worth it.
The woman parked her white Audi in front of an office building, barely reaching her office when a woman in her thirties approached, "Nian, there's a contract for you to negotiate at noon."
"What contract?"
The woman handed Su Nian a folder, saying, "At eleven o'clock, right across at the cafe, on the second floor in VIP room 209."
"President Chen, should I go alone?"
President Chen looked at her teasingly, "Nian, honestly, have you had any romantic encounters these past few days?"
Su Nian played along, "It's summer, how could there be any romantic encounters?"
President Chen gestured towards the folder in her hand, "Just see for yourself, this is a fail-safe deal, this one project is equivalent to our company's profit for half a year, and moreover, they specifically requested you, isn't this like throwing money to date you?"
Su Nian was puzzled, "They specifically requested me? Which company is it?"
"I don't know, all secretive, but... if you feel it's right, then go for it. It's hard raising two little bundles alone, it's about time to find Dad for the kids."
Su Nian gave her a playful glance.
President Chen giggled ambiguously, "I don't care about the rest, but you have to bag this contract."
Su Nian seriously flipped through the proposal, finding no information about the other party from start to end, prompting her to wonder, who exactly insisted on having her there?
