Chapter 171 Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Si!
Si Yan had a few drinks at the party. Su Nian wanted to call a designated driver, but Si Yan put the car keys in her hand and said, "No need, you drive."
"Do you really think I can do it?" Su Nian said in disbelief. "Professor Si, I haven't touched a steering wheel since I learned to drive! Aren't you afraid I might lead you into trouble?"
"Yeah." Si Yan was only slightly tipsy, but his tone was steady like a teaching demonstration, "Don't worry, I'm here." After saying that, he stuffed the key into her hand.
Su Nian nervously got into the driver's seat, looking uncertain: "Professor Si... could you explain the process again?"
Si Yan chuckled softly, his voice lazily sounding slightly tipsy.
He turned sideways, slowly pulled the seat belt, and buckled it for himself with a "click".
Then he naturally leaned towards Su Nian, and his arm lightly passed around her - the cedar scent mixed with a hint of alcohol suddenly enveloped her, bringing with it warm body temperature.
Su Nian's heart suddenly started beating faster and he held his breath unconsciously - damn distracting thoughts, back off!
"First," his voice sounded almost next to her ear, low and clear, "ensure the driver's safety first." As he spoke, he pulled the seat belt beside her and buckled it neatly.
After doing this, he did not step away immediately, but instead kept his eyes on her hands from a very close distance.
"Second, step on the brakes." Su Nian did as he was told.
"Then," he guided her right hand to the gear lever, his dry fingertips brushing the back of her hand gently, then letting go immediately, "Push to D gear."
His instructions were concise and steady, like explaining a formula in class, and left no room for questioning.
Su Nian followed the operation step by step. The only sounds in the car were the low hum of the engine and her slightly speeding heartbeat.
"Finally," Si Yan finally leaned back into the passenger seat, tilted his head toward the window, closed his eyes, and said in a voice that sounded like a sigh and a dream, "Drive with confidence. I'll be with you even if you have to dig a ditch."
Su Nian burst out laughing, and her last bit of panic was inexplicably swept away.
Taking a deep breath, she gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped lightly on the accelerator, and the car slid steadily into the traffic flow in the night.
Although it was my first actual combat, the feel was surprisingly smooth.
While waiting for the red light, Su Nian stole a glance at the man next to her - he had his eyes closed, his brows relaxed, a look of complete relaxation that she rarely saw.
She suddenly thought, her ten months of pregnancy were indeed difficult, but this man must have had it easy too. He was meticulous and considerate in everything he did, from greeting people to seeing them off, as long as it concerned her.
The green light came on, Su Nian followed the flow of traffic, drove smoothly into the basement, and parked steadily.
"Professor Si, wake up, we're home." She called him softly.
"Shh... take a nap for two more minutes, the battery is not fully charged yet." He muttered.
Seeing his rare appearance of playing tricks, Su Nian's heart softened, and she gently placed her hand on his leg: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Si!"
Si Yan was awakened by her tenderness. He held her in his hands and kissed her on his lips.
Suddenly I wanted to kiss her.
He naturally put his arm around Su Nian's shoulders, his voice still tinged with sleep: "Can I kiss you, Mrs. Si?"
Before she could respond, Si Yan's lips had already gently covered hers. It was a wonderful touch, and he no longer restrained himself. Now that the girl had unloaded, he no longer had to worry about anything, and gradually deepened the kiss.
The two of them had not been so intimate for a long time, but now they were in an empty basement and a small carriage. The cramped space was filled with a vague ambiguous atmosphere. Su Nian suddenly felt a little panicked as if she was having an affair, and her thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
"What are you thinking about? Pay attention." Suddenly, there was a light bite on her lips, neither too light nor too heavy, with a bit of punishment. Si Yan's low voice was wrapped in a smile and spread in her ears.
Su Nian came back to her senses and glared at him angrily, but she was no longer distracted and devoted herself to the kiss.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This bastard's kissing skills seem to have improved a lot compared to before, and she can hardly resist him.
In the deserted basement, the two kissed passionately. After a long moment, they separated, their breaths unsteady.
The young couple walked in hand in hand and saw Baoer crying happily. Zhang Minghua was coaxing her, and Mrs. Zhang was standing beside her with a bottle of milk.
As soon as Su Nian heard the crying, she seemed to receive a signal from her body. Her chest suddenly swelled and she wailed in her heart: This breastfeeding mother’s human sensor system is too sensitive!
She quickly changed her shoes and went into the house, taking the baby from Zhang Minghua's hands: "Here, here, mommy is back, dear baby, don't cry~"
"The stored breast milk is finished, and this clever little kid refuses to drink formula. He is so smart!" Zhang Minghua felt funny and helpless when he saw Baoer stop crying the moment he got into his mother's arms.
"Leave Baoer to us. You and Mrs. Zhang should go and have a rest. You have worked hard today." Si Yan said to his mother and Mrs. Zhang who had worked hard all day.
"The baby has taken a bath, you can just carry him upstairs." Zhang Minghua said with a smile.
Looking at Baoer who was working hard to eat, Su Nian and Si Yan looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Bao Er, who was enjoying her meal, paused for a second, as if to say: Daddy and Mommy left me to have some time alone. I'm not happy, seriously not happy! This is baby abuse!
There's no point in being dissatisfied, I'm afraid I'll have to go if I have the chance!
The next morning, Su Nian was feeding Bao'er when she received a call from Su Hong. Si Yan quickly answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone, "Niannian, can you come to the nursing home? Your grandma's condition...is not very good."
Si Yan, who was standing by, heard the call and quickly carried Baoer downstairs to explain the situation to Zhang Minghua. The two of them hurried over.
When they arrived, the old lady was lying there quietly. Seeing Su Nian and the others coming, Chen Ran whispered, "Your granddaughter is here."
Hearing Chen Ran's words, the old lady opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at her granddaughter and grandson-in-law and smiled.
Su Hong said that the old lady has been talking nonsense recently and her mind is sometimes clear and sometimes confused.
The two of them watched for a while, and Chen Ran said, "We've met each other, so you can go back. You have children at home."
The next day, news came that the old lady had passed away.
When Su Nian heard the news, she was holding Bao'er on the balcony, basking in the sun. It was her mother, Su Hong, calling. Her voice was calm, with a hint of relief: "The old lady passed away peacefully this morning."
"My dad, is he okay?" Su Nian asked softly.
"Well, for close relatives, sadness is inevitable and it takes some time." Su Hong was depressed.
"Then you take good care of my dad and take good care of yourself." Su Nian instructed his mother.
After hanging up the phone, Su Nian thought about this grandmother whom she had little contact with, and her life!
The old lady had been arguing with her son for half her life. As a mother, there was nothing wrong with her love for her son, but she loved him too persistently and stubbornly.
Fortunately, Su Hong and her daughter chose to forgive. The old lady had a taste of happiness in her last days and passed away without any regrets.
The ending should be happy.
The old lady has finished filming this drama of life. I hope she can take on a lighter role on another set.
