Chapter 355: Chapter 250: Then I am the Little Uncle’s Little Wife!

“Sorry, Dean Su does not meet with patients who haven’t made an appointment. Miss, if you’re here to see a doctor, you can queue downstairs for a number.”

I thought I would get through easily, but I was stopped at the door.

Song Zijia then said: “Your dean is my brother-in-law! I’m not here to see a doctor! I have an emergency right now, and if you don’t let me in, can you afford the responsibility if there’s a delay later?”

However, the other party wasn’t the slightest bit scared. They calmly and politely said: “If it’s as the miss says, and the dean is your brother-in-law, then you can call the dean directly. We’re just following orders. Without an appointment, you can’t enter.”

Song Zijia waited for her, make a phone call?

Even if she had his number, she wasn’t sure he would agree to meet her.

Just as she was out of options and considering finding a spot to sit and wait indefinitely, the door suddenly opened.

Su Yuecheng, dressed in a slate gray suit, walked out from inside, but he didn’t see her. He straight away ordered his secretary: “I have to head back home because of a family matter. Don’t call me unless it’s absolutely urgent.”

The secretary nodded to signal understanding and was about to mention Song Zijia when she had already impatiently rushed over.

“Brother-in-law!”

Su Yuecheng slightly furrowed his brow, turning his head to look at Song Zijia as if trying to recall who this woman was.

Only when he heard her call him brother-in-law did he think of the Song Family and roughly guess who it might be.

Given the Song Family members who bullied his wife, he naturally wouldn’t greet them warmly. He certainly hadn’t forgotten that when his wife was last on the ground being hit, she was right there joining in.

Seeing Su Yuecheng’s cold demeanor, Song Zijia looked at him with grievance: “Brother-in-law… I haven’t eaten for two days.”

Su Yuecheng smiled faintly: “This isn’t a shelter. You’re neither my wife nor my daughter. It’s probably not right to come to me if you have nothing to eat.”

As he spoke, he had already started walking away.

Song Zijia immediately followed, grabbing his wrist: “Brother-in-law, I really had no other choice but to come to you. I’m being chased for debts and dare not go home. Now, I don’t have a single cent on me. You could just take me for a meal.”

Su Yuecheng entered the elevator: “I’m busy.”

Song Zijia quickly followed into the elevator, but Su Yuecheng didn’t press any button. Instead, when the door was about to close automatically, he pressed the door open again: “Ms. Song, this is an elevator for medical staff. Please wait for the other elevator.”

“Brother-in-law~” Song Zijia cooed, knowing that if he simply agreed to take her to eat, she would be one step closer to her goal.

Su Yuecheng frowned slightly and walked out of the cramped elevator, taking out his phone as he did: “Two options, either call your mom, or call the police station.”

Song Zijia hurriedly reached out to grab his phone: “Don’t, brother-in-law! If my mom finds out, she’ll kill me!”

Right then, the phone rang. Song Zijia glanced at the caller ID, her pupils shrinking, she immediately pressed to end the call.

Su Yuecheng quickly snatched his phone back, turning to speak to the people at the secretary desk: “Have security come up and take this woman out.”

“No, brother-in-law! If you don’t save me, I’ll really starve to death!”

However, Song Zijia’s desperate pleas had no effect. When security arrived, they took her away, and Su Yuecheng immediately called Ziyan back.

“Were you… busy just now?”

He knew she was referring to him hanging up her call. Not wanting her to know that Song Zijia had been there and worried that she might overthink things, he hummed lightly in response: “I’ll head back now. Just get the groceries, and we’ll discuss everything else when I’m back.”

Ziyan also spoke considerately: “If you have work at the hospital, come back during dinner time. I’ll call you when everything’s ready. Brother Yang and Nian’nian can cook too; he can help out.”

Su Yuecheng immediately refused: “No, wait for me to come back.” He didn’t like the idea of her being in the kitchen with other men.

The day after tomorrow was their wedding day, and that afternoon they had an appointment to take wedding photos. They planned to cook and eat lunch at his place.

Dudu was also about to turn one, and she could already call out Daddy and Mommy.

Ziyan had named her Su Youtong, inspired by the Paulownia tree in the yard.

During the wedding photo shoot, having too many children around could become somewhat overwhelming.

Su Zhen loved beauty and enjoyed taking photographs, always wanting to get involved.

Su Bao, being relatively older, took on the responsibility of looking after his younger brothers and sisters.

“Son, keep an eye on Dudu, and don’t let her fall.”

Dudu seemed to be especially fond of Su Bao, and unlike her quiet mother, she was an active little girl.

Even though she couldn’t walk yet, she loved crawling all over. Unwatched, she’d crawl far off.

Su Bao picked her up and brought her back, but she just started crawling again. Give her anything to play with, and she’d toss it aside after a while.

Tired of following her around, Su Bao held her in his arms.

Dudu wasn’t crawling about anymore but wasn’t peaceful either, grasping at Su Bao’s hand and stuffing his sleeve into her mouth.

Su Bao didn’t pull away, letting her drool all over his sleeve. As long as she wasn’t fussy, that was fine by him.

Zhenzhen was lured away by Su Nian with a lollipop, and she immediately ran towards Su Bao, shouting as she did: “Dudu! I’ve got a lollipop!”

Dudu let go of Su Bao’s sleeve and reached out to grab the lollipop from Su Zhen’s hand, but Su Bao snatched it away: “Don’t give it to her; the stick might poke her.”

Dudu didn’t cry. She adorably watched Su Zhen for a while, then grabbed Su Bao’s sleeve again and continued chewing.

At this point, Su Nian came over with Zhenzhen’s little coat, telling her: “Put it on.”

Zhenzhen smiled and put on the coat, glancing at Dudu and saying: “Mommy, look how cute Dudu is.”

Su Nian teased: “So, who’s cuter, you or Dudu?”

Zhenzhen thought about it and said: “Both are cute!”

“If you could only choose one?”

She smiled sheepishly and then narcissistically pointed to herself, “Of course, it would be me!”

Su Nian pinched her little nose: “Vain much?”

Saying so, as if something occurred to him, “Oh! Right! By seniority, Dudu is not your little sister.” Speaking of which, he asked, “Uncle Cheng, what should the relationship be called then?”

Su Yuecheng, who was next to Ziyan, smiled and said, “She’d have to be called aunt, I guess.”

Su Nian gave Su Zhen a pat: “Did you hear that? You should call her ‘little aunt’ now.”

Su Zhen didn’t quite understand why the title should be changed, but sweetly followed Mom’s teaching and called out, “Little aunt!”

Su Bao sulkily and unnoticeably pulled out the sleeve from Dudu’s mouth.

Dudu smacked her lips, and Su Zhen giggled whenever she teased her.

Wei Lan came over holding Ke Ning, saying, “It’ll be more fun when the kids are a bit older.”

But Jin Qiu said, “I reckon there will be several fights a day! Right now, our Hexuan already knows how to snatch things!”

“Ha-ha, Sister Niannian, we agreed on arranging a marriage for our children in jest, our daughter will belong to your Su Bao in the future!”

Yang Zichen immediately said, “Who said that?” He only had this precious daughter, how could he rashly decide on her marital affairs.

Su Nian laughed out loud, “Brother Yang doesn’t seem too happy about it.”

Shen Hanxiu disdainfully said, “Who cares? Our Shen Family’s doors aren’t open to just anyone.”

“Sister Niannian, we’re so close, why not open a backdoor for us!”

Su Nian joked as well, “Son, in the future Ke Ning will be your little wife.”

Su Bao grimaced, feeling helpless about the adults’ teasing.

“Mom, what’s a little wife?”

Su Nian hadn’t replied yet when Shen Han spoke up, “Just like, your Mom is my little wife.”

“Oh~” Su Zhen seemingly understood but actually did not, then asked, “Does liking a person mean you are their little wife?”

Shen Han raised an eyebrow: “You could say that.”

Su Zhen happily said, “Then I am little uncle’s little wife!”

Su Nian immediately gave her head a tap, “Don’t talk nonsense! Carey is your uncle!”

Su Zhen said aggrievedly, “Why can’t an uncle be a little wife?”

“You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Su Nian and Shen Han exchanged a glance, then Shen Han muttered, “Your daughter’s thinking is a bit skewed, is she not supposed to be sent over?”

“But we’ve already promised your daughter, won’t you bear the consequences if we don’t send her? Moreover, Carey’s coming tomorrow, your daughter speaks without thinking, don’t take it seriously, after the day after tomorrow’s wedding, let’s send the child over together.”

Speaking of it, Su Nian felt a bit reluctant. Looking at Su Zhen who’d been all smiles the whole time, she really didn’t know whether the house would seem cold and empty without this child.

She and Su Bao had never been separated, would the two kids be able to adapt?

The photoshoot ended, and only the afterglow of the sunset remained.

Not just the men, even the women who’d been so excited beforehand were exhausted.

A casual dinner, and then everyone went back to their own homes.

Tomorrow they would start preparing for the wedding, and the day after Su Zhen would be leaving.

Su Nian had been worrying and nagging for days.

She’d prepared Su Zhen’s little suitcase long ago but kept on adding things to it, feeling that something was amiss.

“Alright, are you planning to move the whole house over for her? If she lacks anything, we can buy it there. Besides, who says she won’t want to come back after a couple of days?”

Su Nian, full of worry, zipped up the suitcase and approached, asking, “What if she doesn’t want to come back?”

“What can we do? It’s up to her, isn’t it? Would we tie her up and lock her away?”

Shen Han embraced Su Nian, actually, he himself couldn’t bear to part with his daughter either.

Su Nian heaved a long sigh, “Oh, daughters grow up and away… just look at how happy she’s been these past few days at the thought of going to the United Kingdom, the ungrateful thing!”

As long as she’s happy, that’s good. Besides, we still have Xiaoxiao, right? And if you miss Zhenzhen, we can visit anytime.”

“That’s not the same…” Taking a glance would only make it harder to let go.

“Okay, let’s sleep now. I won’t marry you if you have dark circles.”

Su Nian pouted, leaning into his embrace, took a deep breath, and muttered, “If only that child was still here…”

Shen Han did not speak, only held her tighter.

If there was something missing from their happiness, it was that child.

If still alive, they would be seven years old by now, what would they look like? Are they doing well? Have they ever looked for them?

If still alive, would they hate them for abandoning them?

In any case, even if it’s hatred, he just hoped they were alive and well, it would lessen the guilt in his heart…
