He just looked at her like he was looking at his lifelong lover.
His fingertips touched her temples. Her hair was very soft, as if it was tightly entangled in his heart. For a long time, he said in a hoarse voice,
"Nian Nian..."
His eyes turned red with excitement, "You...still love me, right?"
Shen Nian bit his lip, looked away, and let his fingertips touch the cool air.
"I don't want anything to happen to you, just because you are the father I don't want to read."
Nothing more.
Dull pain gripped Fu Hanye's heart, causing him to convulse, "I..."
Shen Nian took a step back and opened the distance between the two. Fu Hanye looked at the distance between the two of them and saw that they were only one step away, but why did it feel like they were separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.
His throat rolled, and sourness spread to the tip of his heart, "Just let me stay for a while, okay?"
Afraid that Shen Nian wouldn't agree, he murmured again, "Just for a while, okay?"
He lowered his body just to be in the same room with Shen Nian's mother and daughter. It seemed that only by breathing the air of the same room as his wife and daughter could his wandering heart find a home.
"I won't disturb you..."
He added hastily.
The man's expression was filled with indescribable caution.
Shen Nian was really frightened by what happened last night. The living person in front of him was almost separated from heaven and earth forever.
She still remembered how weak her legs were. At that moment, she felt like she wanted to close her eyes like that.
However, the past, like a tide, tore open her healed wounds, causing bright red to fall out, and the pain was still unbearable.
She didn't speak, but went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Breakfast was put on the table. She was about to go to the bedroom and asked Bu Nian to get up. When she turned around, she remembered that it was Saturday and she didn't have to go to school. She was also frightened by Bu Nian last night. , simply let the child sleep more.
She took a bite of the toast, turned around, and looked into the man's dark eyes as deep as the abyss. Out of politeness, she said quietly, "Want to eat?"
Fu Hanye pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "I've eaten."
He approached her and wiped away the food residue on the corner of her mouth with his hand. Shen Nian was caught off guard and instinctively stepped back. The man's hand froze in the air and he lowered his eyes. He looked at the food residue on his finger and raised the corner of his mouth. Laughed mockingly.
It was already so difficult for her to get close to him.
A person's body cannot speak, and Shen Nian's actions deeply hurt him.
Fu Hanye sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and puffed away silently. The white smoke blurred his handsome features.
Shen Nian sat at the dining table, turned his back to her, and glanced at the world of neon lights and morning light outside the window. Because he got up too early, Shen Nian had no appetite and took a few random bites.
After clearing the dining table, she walked to the living room and stood in front of Fu Hanye for a long time. The man realized that she was going to say something to him. He raised his head and their eyes met. They felt alienated, strange, and even said no. The emotions coming out are surging silently.
His guilt and annoyance towards her had already turned into deep love.
However, a simple sentence of love could not express his inner feelings, and she would not believe it, so he chose not to say it.
"Do you have anything to ask me?"
Shen Nian finally raised his lips, "Will Fu participate in the fishing village development project?"
After all, she was still worried.
Not to mention Fu, even Parson was a serious problem for Shen Nian.
The sun shone in, making her lips brighter and glossier. Fu Hanye stared at her lips and gave her the answer, "No."
He noticed that there was still worry on her face, "You want to ask, what did Secretary Fu and I talk about yesterday?"
Shen Nian didn't speak.
Fu Hanye slowly added, "We are discussing other development projects, but Fu may later participate in the environmental protection and construction of fishing villages."
Afraid that she would blame him, he added, "Later-stage construction, let alone you, even Parson is not qualified to enter."
The implication is that Mr. Fu looks down on the early design project. Everyone knows that the later development, construction and planning are more important.
The man's words were like a reassurance for Shen Nian.
Shen thought, "I don't want any accident to happen."
Fu Hanye's eyes flashed, "No."
Her surprise probably meant that he was tampering with her and not allowing Su Kai to succeed in her bid.
Her small company couldn't complete the preliminary work, so it had to cooperate with Parson.
How could Fu Hanye not know her intention.
Fu Hanye thought of something and her heart trembled. If she knew that Jiang Qifei's tragic ending was caused by his domineering back then, would she forgive him?
Fu Hanye was not sure. Since he was not sure, he let it remain a secret forever.
"Nian Nian, I want to know...how you feel about Su Kai?"
This is what he has been holding in his heart for a long time.
At the bidding meeting, he could clearly see Su Kai's passionate attitude towards Shen Nian, and he underestimated Su Kai's love for Shen Nian.
Not a joke, but the kind of enthusiasm that is bound to get it.
If it were three years ago, he would have used various means to drive Su Kai away from Shen Nian. However, things were different now and he did not dare to gamble.
When Su Kai was mentioned, Shen Nian looked hesitant, "We are just classmates."
Classmates, neither far nor close.
"But, it's only for now, I don't know if it will happen in the future..."
Strictly speaking, Su Kai still has some personality charm.
Shen Nian's clear pupils were suddenly filled with a trace of confusion, "I'm already twenty-eight, not too young. If I have a good impression, I'll take a look."
In Fu Hanye's deep pupils, the pain emerged, so obvious that he didn't want to hide it at all.
Shen Nian's eyes turned back from the bright sunshine outside the window and fell on his handsome face, "If there is someone suitable, you can talk about it. Let's... don't delay each other anymore."
After all, after six years of hard work, they are no longer young.
Fu Hanye's throat was choked and he wanted to say something else. Shen Nian took a breath and said, "No matter what, Bu Nian will always be your daughter, and you will always have the right to visit her."
This is Shen Nian's true words.
"But, I think..."
Before Fu Hanye finished speaking, Shen Nian interrupted him, "It's getting late. You stayed up all night last night. It's time to go back and rest."
Fu Hanye looked at her for a full minute before taking steps with difficulty.
When he went out, he didn't look back. Shen Nian saw with his own eyes that the door opposite closed gently.
The two thin doors separated two worlds. From then on, he took his sunny path and she crossed her single-plank bridge.
Fu Hanye leaned back, and the sunlight fell into his pupils. He closed his eyes slightly, moisture kept pouring out of the corners of his eyes, and soreness appeared in his throat.
He didn't like Bai Lan, but seeing Bai Lan lying on the bed like a living dead, he felt for the first time that life was too short.
Knowing about the fire again, he, Shen Nian, and their daughter almost had another brush with death as a family of three.
He is already thirty-three, and not many people can waste six years.
However, it is so difficult to recover Shen Nian.
He raised his hand and covered his sore eyes. The moisture in his eyes became more and more wet. Finally, he could no longer hold back and sobbed softly.
