Chapter 838  : Trip to Hainan (2)

“Oh, he’s really not after all!”

“I’ve made a mistake!”

Shen Zihao sighed and said, “So can everyone let me through now?”

The crowd started to retreat to let them pass.

Qiao Lian couldn’t believe that the two men had managed to get themselves out of the situation this easily.

After they got onto the nanny van, the people were still in a daze as it had all happened very quickly.

Shen Zihao snorted icily and said, “See all the trouble you cause by being an actor? Aren’t there better jobs out there?”

Although his words weren’t the kindest, Shen Liangchuan saw how his brother had protected him just now.

It had been a very heartwarming act.

He gave Shen Zihao a glance and then looked ahead without replying.

The three women exchanged looks and finally burst out laughing.

Shen Zihao and Xia Nuannuan were to stay with the Xia’s, of course.

Qiao Lian and the two others had booked hotel rooms.

Xia Nuannuan said, “Mom, it’s a rare opportunity that you and brother-in-law are here. My parents said they’d like to invite you for dinner. You must come.”

Xia Yehua nodded in agreement. “Sure, you two go home today. We’ll be here for a few days anyway, so we’ll come to visit another day.”

Xia Nuannuan nodded.

They dropped Xia Nuannuan and Shen Zihao at the Xia family home, and then were on their way to the hotel.

The room they had booked was a suite in a six-star hotel.

It had more than adequate facilities.

They had selected a two-bedroom suite with a living area, and the rooms were very comfortable.

The moment Qiao Lian stepped in, she threw herself on the bed and made a come-hither gesture at Shen Liangchuan with her index finger.

Shen Liangchuan walked over to the bed and sat down.

Now the skies were darkening. They ordered dinner from the hotel’s menu, had dinner together with Xia Yehua and then returned to their own rooms to rest.

The air was great and the environment was beautiful in this unfamiliar city.

Qiao Lian gave Shen Liangchuan a massage and in five minutes, he was fast asleep without the need for any sleeping pills.

When she saw that he had finally fallen asleep, she was ecstatic.

This trip had been a right decision!

–

Someone had fallen asleep, but someone else had lost sleep.

Xia Nuannuan lay on her bed in her own room looking at everything around her that was so familiar. She was elated and joyful.

She had only been in the Shen family residence for three days, yet it had felt like dreary three years.

Now that she was home, she finally could let out a long sigh of relief.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to get to sleep. Finally she stood up and walked out of the room.

The moment she stepped out, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring into space.

Xia Nuannuan was surprised. “Mom?”

Mom Xia stood up and asked, “Why aren’t you asleep?”

Xia Nuannuan hung her head and said, “I couldn’t get to sleep.”

Mom Xia held out her hand and said, “Then let’s have a mother-daughter chat.”

“Ok.”

“Nuannuan, how’s life with the Shen family?”

The girl paused briefly at this question, then said, “It’s quite good.”

Mom Xia continued to nod and smiled. “Our Nuannuan has grown up and gotten married. And now you’re becoming a mother. You have to take better care of your own health from now on, do you understand?”

Xia Nuannuan nodded. “Mom, why aren’t you asleep?”

Mom Xia’s eyes glistened and said, “I can’t sleep either.”

The girl was surprised and asked, “Why?”

In the dark, Mom Xia forced a smile and said, “I can’t bear to let you go.”
