When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase
Chapter 1068: Having You Is Enough (8)
Breakfast was the porridge and buns Sheng Yanxiao bought from outside, accompanied by heart-shaped cookies he baked himself.
Since it’s Saturday, both of them ate slowly.
They already woke up late and ate leisurely, so by the time they finished what they called breakfast, it was almost noon.
They could directly skip lunch; after eating, they nestled on the couch, Su Weiyi sat beside Sheng Yanxiao reading a book, while Sheng Yanxiao tapped the keyboard swiftly, doing who knows what.
After a while of quietness, Su Weiyi suddenly remembered last night and turned to Sheng Yanxiao: "Did you... have an argument with Dad last night?"
Sheng Yanxiao paused slightly in his typing and replied with a mild "Mm," while Su Weiyi continued: "You should go."
Only then did Sheng Yanxiao look back at her, slightly furrowing his brows: "You heard?"
Su Weiyi nodded unapologetically: "I heard a few sentences when I passed by the study."
Su Weiyi reached out and held one of Sheng Yanxiao’s hands, hesitated for two seconds, but still spoke up: "Yanxiao, I trust your abilities, but Dad’s right. You need to inherit Shengshi Group and face not only the domestic economic situation and business layout but also the international economic situation and business layout. I believe you can do well even without formal training, but in your high position, you can’t afford mistakes."
Sheng Yanxiao flipped his hand to clasp hers, these truths she didn’t need to say; how could he not understand? Actually, it wasn’t that he wouldn’t go, he was just continuously delaying it. And yesterday, the crux of his argument with his father was not that he didn’t want to go, but that he didn’t want to go now.
Su Weiyi squeezed Sheng Yanxiao’s hand, straightforwardly voicing what was on his mind.
"I know you can’t bear to leave me. I can wait for you here, or I can go with you. It’s not an issue."
Sheng Yanxiao raised his eyes, purposely ignoring the first half of her sentence, directly addressing the latter half: "Go with me?"
Su Weiyi nodded, her dark eyes sparkling: "Yes."
After speaking, she seemed to deliberately want to cheer him up, adorably pouting: "Do you think I’ll be at ease leaving you alone outside? Your face is most likely to invite romance."
As Su Weiyi spoke, she reached out and pinched Sheng Yanxiao’s face, this face truly easy to attract romance.
Sheng Yanxiao’s gaze darkened, he grabbed Su Weiyi’s playful hand, laughter in his eyes but his tone held a hint of warning: "Su Weiyi, you are getting bolder, daring to pinch this young master’s face now?"
Su Weiyi ignored his warning, smiling sweetly: "What? Can’t pinch?"
Su Weiyi reached out and poked Sheng Yanxiao’s chest: "You belong to me entirely, so of course, I can pinch your face."
As she spoke, she was surprised herself, her cheeks starting to heat up again. She didn’t know how she managed to blurt out this shameless sentence.
But Sheng Yanxiao liked it, he wrapped his arms around Su Weiyi, the gloom that had originally clouded his heart faded away. She was right; it really wasn’t an issue at all.
The reason he didn’t want to go, ultimately, was insecurity, after all, the three-year separation had brought him too much unease. He didn’t know whether, in the future, she would retreat into her shell once again.
When anyone seemingly invincible is hit in their most vulnerable place, however confident they may be, it won’t help, insecurity still lingers like a shadow.
