My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: When there’s no one around, is there no need for self-restraint?

Su Nian twisted her head in shame and anger, glancing at him: “Let go of me now!”

Shen Hanxiu slowly released his grip, teasing her a bit: “We didn’t do anything, what are you so shy about?”

“You’re the one who’s shy! With so many people in the company, don’t you know what self-respect is?”

“So when there’s no one around, there’s no need for self-respect? Like right now?”

Sure enough, he’s still the same!

When she first met him, she thought he was a gentleman. Even after they got their marriage certificate first, he didn’t force her to do anything she didn’t want to do. But over time, Su Nian realized that this man was nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing! That’s a euphemism, but what Su Nian actually said to his face was, “Old Man Shen, you’re just a hooligan in a suit!”

Really don’t know how his mother named him, what Shen Hanxiu? Not shy at all! Should have named him Shen Houpi!

The elevator stopped at his floor, and Su Nian, annoyed, squeezed past him to leave but was caught by him once more—this time by the hair! The pain made Su Nian’s head go numb, and she hurriedly drew back, only to hear his cold command: “Tie up your hair! What do you look like with it all over the place?”

Her hair was beautiful, even with the soft curls, it was as smooth as when she was a student, making one can’t help but want to touch it, such beautiful hair couldn’t be left for other men to drool over!

Su Nian really wanted to pounce on him and tug at his hair like she used to, to let him know how it feels to have a numb scalp, but now she just looked at him, feeling timid and annoyed with nowhere to vent, and even more infuriating was that damn it, he wasn’t letting go!

Shen Hanxiu looked down at her defiant face and asked, “Well, what’s your answer?”

Su Nian said through gritted teeth: “Yes, President Shen.”

Only then did Shen Hanxiu let go, then he patted her head like one would a puppy, trying to smooth her messed-up hair, but before his hand could slide down, she slapped it away: “Isn’t President Shen going to a meeting? Please, after you!”

As Su Nian spoke, she walked out first. She intended to take the General Elevator down, but realizing there was no elevator door, she remembered the General Elevator didn’t come to this floor and quickly turned back to take the stairs from the emergency exit.

Shen Hanxiu watched her bluster away, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his face. Everyone who saw him along the way found it odd.

Had Boss Shen changed his mask? He actually had a smile on his face!

Su Nian didn’t dare to take his private elevator down, to avoid being seen and gossiped about, and after going down the emergency staircase, she just made it to clock in at 7:59.

Sitting at her seat panting, Wei Lan asked her, “Overslept again, huh?”

Su Nian smiled awkwardly in admission. She couldn’t very well say she was almost late because Shen Han played her.

Su Nian took an elastic hairband out of the drawer. While tying her hair, she glanced around the office and only then did she realize there were quite a few people with loose hair. She had thought loose hair was against company policy!

Guessing Shen Hanxiu was just giving her a hard time, she didn’t dwell on it. After all, she didn’t have the habit of wearing her hair down to work anyway, and tying it up made her feel more energetic.

Then, she buried herself in work. After Shen Hanxiu finished his meeting, he purposely took the elevator down to this floor, then stood at the doorway and looked straight toward that familiar corner, noticing her hair was tied up, but her pretty little face was exposed.

Her slender fingers tapped on the keyboard, head buried into her work, eyebrows and eyes cast downward—perhaps even she herself didn’t know how beautiful she looked at this moment.

Shen Hanxiu silently watched for a few minutes before finally walking away.
