Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 420 The Real World: Shen Nansheng's Choice

Coffee shop near Su Yuanzhou's hotel

As soon as Su Yuanzhou entered, he saw that familiar figure that haunted his dreams.

The last meeting was too rushed, and Su Yuanzhou was unaware of the situation, so he dared not scrutinize Shen Nansheng too closely.

But now, Su Yuanzhou can finally stare greedily at Shen Nansheng in front of him without any restraint.

Shen Nansheng sat in the corner of the coffee shop. Today she was wearing a light green cheongsam, and her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin.

She lowered her head slightly, revealing her slender neck, and carefully stirred the coffee in her cup with her delicate hands holding a spoon.

Su Yuanzhou unconsciously walked closer and sat down opposite Shen Nansheng.

Shen Nansheng looked up and smiled gently at Su Yuanzhou.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

"Uh... hello."

Then there was another silence.

Finally, Su Yuanzhou couldn't help but speak first.

"Nan Sheng, how have you been these past years?"

Shen Nansheng put down the spoon in her hand, raised her head, and looked at Su Yuanzhou seriously.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm doing well."

"..." Su Yuanzhou felt that Shen Nansheng was clearly gentle and kind, yet she was impeccably defensive towards him.

"you……"

“Mr. Su!” Shen Nansheng interrupted Su Yuanzhou, “Now that we’ve met, let’s get straight to the point.”

Shen Nansheng's words were clearly very gentle, but Su Yuanzhou felt very flustered. Her next words seemed to be a judgment on him.

“Mr. Su, I heard about what happened between you and me yesterday from Yan Song, and I understand the general situation.”

Su Yuanzhou was anxious to interrupt, but Shen Nansheng raised her hand to stop him.

"Please listen to me first. We may have loved each other very much before, but I have amnesia now, and so many years have passed. I have gotten used to my current life."

I can't remember anything from the past. I'm very happy with Yansong now and don't want to change our current lifestyle.

I hope Mr. Su won't dwell on the past; living well in the present is the most important thing.

Su Yuanzhou's eyes reddened; he didn't understand why Shen Nansheng could let go so quickly.

"Nan Sheng, we've been in love and married for ten years. Don't you want to know about all the beautiful things we shared in the past?"

Shen Nansheng shook her head decisively: "No need. Too much time has passed, we've all changed, and besides, I've lost my memory, haven't I?"

Even if you told me, it wouldn't be my memory, and I wouldn't truly understand. In the end, we'd both suffer. So, it's better not to know.

Su Yuanzhou couldn't accept it; why could Shen Nansheng be so calm?

He suddenly leaned forward, grasped Shen Nansheng's hand, and pleaded sadly, "Nansheng, how do you know we've all changed without even hearing it?"

Thirteen years have passed, and I've been searching for you. Why did you give up so easily?

Shen Nansheng struggled to break free from Su Yuanzhou's hand. She glanced in a certain direction before looking back at Su Yuanzhou.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Shen Nansheng's eyes seemed somewhat cold as she looked at Su Yuanzhou.

"Mr. Su, are you telling me these things to feel good about yourself, or to make me feel guilty?"

We may have loved each other very much before, but after you learned of my existence, you weighed the pros and cons and went to Yansong first. I knew you had changed!

I know my own personality. Even though I have amnesia, I still have my own judgment.

If you continue to be someone who relies on scheming to achieve your goals, I will never fall in love with you, let alone marry you.

Since we were able to be together for ten years, it means that I at least loved you before.

But thirteen years have passed now, and you have changed a lot. Our past can only remain in the past, and we can never go back to how things were.

So, Mr. Su, I've made myself very clear. I hope you can let it go too.

Su Yuanzhou's eyes were still red, but he had calmed down now.

His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Nan Sheng, if you don't want me anymore, what about our two children? Don't you want them either?"

When the children were mentioned, Shen Nansheng's expression softened slightly: "As for the children, I will talk to them separately."

I would be happy if they were willing to acknowledge me as their mother.

But Mr. Su, we don't need to see each other again.

Now that things have been explained, I'll be leaving.

Mr. Su, I wish you find your perfect match soon.

Shen Nansheng didn't say 'goodbye'. She had long since let go of her past with Su Yuanzhou, and there was really no need for them to meet again.

If Su Yuanzhou is willing to tell her about her background and the situation of her other relatives, that would be fine. But if he doesn't want to, Shen Nansheng now knows her own identity, and she can investigate it herself.

Shen Nansheng left, along with Shen Yansong, who had been secretly observing the two of them from the sidelines.

Su Yuanzhou had already discovered Shen Yansong's presence, but he couldn't care less about it anymore.

He still lost, and lost miserably!

In fact, Su Yuanzhou had anticipated this situation, but he didn't want to accept reality and still wanted to try.

Su Yuanzhou and Shen Nansheng have been in love and married for ten years, but the happiest time was actually during their passionate courtship.

Shen Nansheng, whom Su Yuanzhou had just met, was a girl who loved painting and had a vibrant life force.

However, after marriage, with the birth of children one after another, the once vibrant young woman gradually became trapped in household chores, and the joy on her face disappeared.

However, now, thirteen years later, when they meet again, Su Yuanzhou discovers that Shen Nansheng has returned to being the vibrant girl he once fell in love with.

Su Yuanzhou had to admit that Shen Yansong had taken good care of Shen Nansheng. She had her own career and didn't have to worry about family matters, so she could fully express herself in her favorite field.

The current Shen Nansheng has the vibrancy of her youth and the resilience that comes with age, but her passion remains unchanged!

Love is like growing flowers. If you don't take good care of your own flowers, but plant them in someone else's garden, they will bloom in all their glory!

Su Yuanzhou suddenly realized that he had no chance anymore. Even if he was now well-off, in a high position, and the head of the family business, he could not get his former lover back.

Su Yuanzhou returned to the hotel looking dejected. When he opened the door, he found that Su Jinyue and Su Jinshi had arrived at some point.

"Dad, you're finally back! I went out with my classmates today and ate at a really delicious restaurant. I thought you had just returned from abroad and probably hadn't tried it yet, so I packed some to bring back for you to try too."

Su Jinshi was unusually active today. He excitedly pulled Su Yuanzhou over and made him sit on a chair at the dining table, then eagerly offered him the food.

Su Jinyue sat on the other side, carefully glanced at Su Yuanzhou's expression, and then explained as if she hadn't noticed anything.

"Dad, you don't know, there's another reason why Jinshi is so happy today: his final exam results came out."

"I'm number one in the grade! After hearing the news from my classmates, I couldn't wait to tell you. Bringing you food was just an excuse!"

Hiding his disappointment, Su Yuanzhou asked with interest, "Really? My son is so amazing, he's number one in his grade!"

Faced with her sister's sudden revelation of her shortcomings, Su Jinshi was a little embarrassed, but upon hearing Su Yuanzhou's praise, even though Su Jinshi was already a little adult, she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Dad, it's not that exaggerated. I'm just first in my grade. It's nothing to me."

Dad, you're amazing! You manage such a huge family business and have invented so many patents. I should learn more from you…

With the company of his children, Su Yuanzhou's emotional setbacks were gradually healed.

Even without his wife Shen Nansheng, he still has two children.

That night, seeing Su Jinshi insisting on sleeping with him and lying asleep in bed, Su Yuanzhou carefully covered Su Jinshi with a blanket. Looking at his son's unguarded sleeping face, he smiled silently.

He's really getting worse with age. He's so old, yet his son and daughter still have to coax him!

Su Yuanzhou understood that Su Jinyue and Su Jinshi, the siblings, must have known about his relationship with Shen Nansheng and came to entertain him because they were afraid he would be sad.

But I have to admit, he really falls for it!

That's enough. His affair with Shen Nansheng is long gone. Now that he knows she's safe and doing well, that's enough.

Fortunately, his son and daughter are both on his side; he should be content...

Su Jinyue left the hotel, where Fu Cinian was already waiting at the entrance.

"How are you? Is your dad alright?" Fu Cinian asked with concern as soon as they got in the car.

Su Jinyue smiled as she recalled the scene just now and said.

"They seem alright. It's a matter for the previous generation, and we can't really offer any advice."

I've already told my younger brother to spend more time with Dad. With someone looking after him, it shouldn't be too serious.

Fu Cinian nodded: "That's good. I was really afraid they would cause a huge scene. It's good as it is now, and they shouldn't cause any more trouble in the future."

After hearing Fu Cinian's remarks, Su Jinyue became quite curious about Shen Yansong's situation.

"Hey, how's your uncle doing?"

"Them?" Fu Cinian chuckled. "After your aunt finished talking with your dad, your uncle quickly booked plane tickets and took your aunt back to Kyoto."

I estimate they won't be back anytime soon.

Huh?! But that's typical of Shen Yansong's style.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyue felt relieved.

She had originally planned to talk to Shen Nansheng, but now that they were relatives, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future!

Su Yuanzhou recovered quickly as well, and couldn't wait for the New Year; he was eager to go back to the United States first.

Neither Su Jinyue nor Su Jinshi have any plans to go abroad for the time being. Since the children don't want to go abroad, Su Yuanzhou will move the family business back to China.

Su Yuanzhou had planned to return to China before, and had been gradually putting it into practice; now he was simply speeding up the process.

Su Yuanzhou longed to return home sooner so he could reunite with his children.

Su Yuanzhou gained a lot from his trip back to China.

He reunited with his lost children and found his missing wife. Although his wife had found another partner, he was at peace with himself.

Without the ties of love, Su Yuanzhou focused all his energy on his career. He was now ambitious, believing that the family business would eventually belong to his children, and he was determined to create a better future for his son and daughter!
