Chapter 91 Her Wounds

Lu Yanzhi almost couldn't resist telling Sisi his identity, but in the end he held back.

He came here today to talk to Shi Nian about Fu Jinyan.

He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Sisi looking around with her big eyes as if she wanted to run away, Lu Yanzhi quickly said, "Don't be afraid, Uncle is not a bad person."

But Sisi clearly didn't want to stay here anymore.

“Uncle just had a child once…” Lu Yanzhi said, and the scene of Shi Nian covered in blood and crying in his arms appeared before his eyes again.

"But then it disappeared, and when your uncle saw you, he missed it a little."

“I’m sorry I scared you,” he said. “I wanted you to draw me because it reminded me of it.”

Perhaps sensing his sincerity, Sisi gave him a serious look and then ran away.

She even patted his hand gently in a comforting gesture.

Lu Yanzhi found it amusing.

Her tiny hand patted the back of his large hand, soft and gentle.

He did feel comforted.

He, Lu Yanzhi, was comforted by a little girl?

However... I actually found it quite useful.

"But I still can't draw you in it." Just as I was feeling comforted, Sisi's voice came, "I'm a person of principle."

How can someone so young know what principles are?

Lu Yanzhi found the child increasingly interesting.

"Did she teach you this too?" Lu Yanzhi couldn't help but ask.

Sisi placed the drawing on the table and began coloring it methodically.

She casually remarked, "My mother taught me so much."

"Didn't you only know her recently?" Lu Yanzhi continued to ask.

Sisi didn't think much of it and replied, "But Mom is kind to everyone, not just me, but also Uncle Fu, Aunt Huanhuan, and so on."

“However…” Sisi said happily, “Mom is even better to her own people. For example, Mom is very good to me. Even though I can’t call her that in front of her, she is understanding and will take me to see a doctor, buy me things, and let me go to school.”

Thinking about it, Sisi's face suddenly scrunched up, and she said, "It's just that she's not good to herself."

"Her injuries haven't fully healed yet."

"But I'll blow on it for her."

"Mom said if I blow on it, her pain will go away."

The pain of time...

Lu Yanzhi recalled the scene he had seen in the hospital.

Her head was covered with gauze.

Also, she fell down the stairs... I wonder how badly she was injured.

Last time at Mingyue Manor, he didn't get a good look at her injuries.

A gentle breeze blew by as Lu Yanzhi watched Sisi carefully coloring the painting.

It's clear that although Sisi is just a little girl, her concentration is quite good.

He suddenly felt that this was good too.

It gives you a sense of peace and tranquility.

Time passed slowly, and in the distance, Lu Yanzhi saw Shi Nian walking towards the kindergarten.

For some reason, he instinctively hid in the shadows.

As soon as Shi Nian entered the kindergarten, he saw Sisi sitting on a stone bench drawing.

Just seeing her made Shi Nian's lips involuntarily curl into a smile.

Shi Nian walked over quickly, looked at Si Si's drawing, and didn't disturb her.

It was Sisi who discovered her later.

"Auntie Xiaonian!" Sisi called out with a smile, rushing into Shi Nian's arms.

Shi Nian caught Si Si steadily.

"I drew a picture!" Sisi immediately handed the coloring drawing to Shi Nian, looking at her expectantly. "Auntie Xiao Nian, do you think it's pretty?"

Shi Nian took the painting and praised it enthusiastically: "Great! Sisi painted it beautifully!"

As he spoke, he kissed Sisi's little cheek, making Sisi giggle.

Shi Nian carefully rolled up the painting and put it away, then held Sisi in her arms and sat her on the stone stool, touching Sisi's little hands and forehead.

She took out wet wipes to wipe Sisi's face and hands, and then took the thermos she carried with her to pour Sisi warm water to drink.

Very meticulous.

"Thank you, Aunt Xiaonian." Sisi obediently finished drinking the warm water and handed the cup lid to Shi Nian.

Shi Nian took it: "No need to be so polite, do you want some?"

Sisi nodded, and Shi Nian poured her another glass.

After Sisi finished drinking, Shi Nian re-tied Sisi's slightly loose hair and shoelaces while asking Sisi about her day at kindergarten.

Sisi told her many things, and the two of them seemed very happy.

Lu Yanzhi stood to the side and watched this scene quietly.

If they had a child, would she also pick up and drop off their child in the same way?

Or, the two of them might come together to pick up and drop off the child.

Is this how it is for their family of three? So heartwarming.

Lu Yanzhi suddenly wondered if he was getting old and that's why he was starting to yearn for family life.

"...Oh, right, Aunt Xiaonian, a strange uncle just said he wanted to buy me ice cream."

"Over there," Sisi said to Shi Nian.

Shi Nian frowned slightly. Who was it?

Sisi looked around and then pointed in one direction: "There."

Shi Nian looked in the direction Si Si was pointing and saw Lu Yanzhi standing not far away.

Their eyes met, and Shi Nian slowly stood up.

Lu Yanzhi didn't hide anymore, but walked over and looked down at her.

“I think we need to talk,” Lu Yanzhi said.

Shi Nian withdrew her gaze and looked at Sisi, who was sitting on the stone stool watching the two of them.

"Sisi is going to the hospital for a check-up today," Shi Nian said, her implication clearly one of refusal.

“I’ll go with you.” Lu Yanzhi didn’t give her a chance to refuse. “Shi Nian, I think you wouldn’t want me to come here to block you every day.”

Shi Nian pursed her lips slightly.

She glanced at Sisi again, and finally nodded.

Indeed, she didn't want Lu Yanzhi to keep coming over.

This forced her to agree.

Sisi kept watching them.

Their eyes were full of curiosity.

But Shi Nian didn't know how to explain it to Si Si.

She didn't want Sisi to call Lu Yanzhi "Dad".

Even now, they are still legally married.

But that won't be the case for long.

So Shi Nian chose to remain silent, simply holding Si Si as they sat in the back seat of the Maybach.

The scenery receded into the distance.

The car drove steadily toward the First Hospital of City A.

The car was completely silent.

A suffocating silence.

Lu Yanzhi looked at Shi Nian in the rearview mirror.

When did they become so unfamiliar?

She used to always greet him with a smile, but now…

Lu Yanzhi then thought of that empty wedding room.

So he asked, "When did you move out of the villa? Why didn't you tell me?"

Shi Nian did not look at Lu Yanzhi.

“You don’t need to know,” she replied calmly.

Lu Yanzhi was slightly annoyed by Shi Nian's perfunctory attitude, but he suppressed it.

"Where do you live now?" Lu Yanzhi continued to ask.

But Shi Nian still didn't look at him, and just quietly coaxed Si Si.

After a long pause, she finally replied, "We'll talk about it later. Let's go to the hospital first."

"Shi Nian!" Lu Yanzhi could no longer contain himself and said angrily.

"Wow!"

Sisi was so frightened that she started crying, and big tears streamed down her face.

"Auntie Xiaonian, this uncle is so scary."

Shi Nian's patience had reached its limit.

"Stop the car!" she said coldly.
