Chapter 115: Chapter 114: I’ll Take Care of My Child Myself

Su Shu pushed him away with force, dodged, and created distance between them.

She had just awoken that afternoon and still felt somewhat weak. In her attempt to avoid him, she nearly stumbled and fell next to the sofa.

Shen Han quickly caught her arm from behind, saving her from a hard fall.

“Careful!”

Su Shu pulled her arm away, sat down on the sofa with support, and saw stars spinning above her head–she felt a bit dizzy.

It took quite a while before she raised her head, her voice sounding powerless and resigned.

“Mr. Shen, if you truly want to take care of me, please, leave.”

Having just returned from the hospital, she really didn’t have the energy to argue with him about who was right or wrong; she had even less energy to deal with him.

Why should he stay, anyway?

With a faint cold laugh, she said, “Also, did you say you saved me so that I would feel grateful to you? Or do you think, because you rescued me from the earthquake zone, you can make decisions for my life and ‘take care’ of my child?”

She knew her words were harsh, but that was the reality.

She was no longer the Su Shu from before and certainly wouldn’t appreciate his high-and-mighty attitude to decide everything for her, nor would she depend on it.

Shen Han stood in front of her, radiating coldness, his tightly pursed lips a clear sign of his terrible mood.

Su Shu recognized this side of him but indifferently looked away.

She didn’t have the strength to spar with him and preferred to simply speak her mind.

“Anyway, I thank you for bringing me and Xiao’ai back from the disaster zone. I’ll provide whatever compensation you need. But that doesn’t mean you can come and go in my home freely or interfere with my life and family.”

“Do you really have to speak like this?” Shen Han’s voice was deep, his cold eyes fixed on her.

Su Shu shook her head faintly. “It’s not necessary, but if I don’t, Mr. Shen, you always seem to take my silence for consent, and I believe you are mistaken.”

“You weren’t like this before.”

“Yes, I’ve changed,” she nodded faintly.

She had indeed changed completely, wanting to live her own life, no longer revolving around him. That’s possible, right?

Shen Han’s face darkened. He wasn’t used to the Su Shu who used to be as meek as a rabbit, and who now resembled an unapproachable hedgehog.

Facing him, she seemed to sprout sharp spines stubbornly refusing to retract.

He hadn’t done anything to her, had he?

Su Shu leaned back to rest for a while and closed her eyes, tilting her head back.

“It’s been so tiring these past few days. I really want to rest properly, please.”

With such a refusal, even the most shameless person would not stay, let alone Shen Han, who was used to being proudly favored.

With a cold expression, he scoffed, “Turns out women really are fickle creatures.”

Creatures?

Is that what he thought of her?

Heh.

Su Shu didn’t open her eyes. “Mhmm.”

Instead of retorting, she agreed, which somehow seemed to stifle Shen Han. He grabbed his jacket in large strides and walked out.

Before leaving, he paused, turned back, and said, “Wait until you’re better before you come for Xiao’ai.”

Su Shu opened her eyes, about to curse him as a bastard.

Bang!

A loud noise, the door shut.

Bastard!

Downstairs, the car started, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Su Shu slumped on the sofa, feeling as if all her strength had been spent on the conversation just now. Once the words were out, her body felt relaxed and limp like cotton.

Her headache was still severe.

Since waking up until now, half the day had passed dealing with Shen Han. Now that he was gone, she finally had time to properly think about her situation.

Her memory before passing out remained at being surrounded by a swarm of snakes. She didn’t know how she had lost consciousness, and when she woke, she found herself in a high-end hospital ward. After the doctors confirmed she could be discharged, and upon her insistence, Shen Han had agreed to send her home, but he strictly refused to bring Xiao’ai along.
