"Thank you."
Shen Chuan took the soup, and there was a layer of sweat on her pale and haggard face from sleeping for a long time. Wang Heng took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat for her.
"No... no need..."
Shen Chuan turned his head, stirred the quilt with his fingers uneasily, and changed the subject: "Why are you free to come here today?"
Wang Heng smiled awkwardly and rolled the tissue into a ball in his hand: "I'm just taking some time off from my busy schedule."
"How do you feel? Does the wound hurt badly? Are the caregivers taking good care of it? Now that the child is born, one caregiver may not be enough. Do you want to hire another nanny?"
Shen Chuan said: "Okay, everything is okay. I have also looked for a childcare provider, but I haven't found one suitable yet."
Wang Heng said: "If you can trust me, I'll help you find it."
"Then I'll trouble you." Shen Chu'an lowered his eyes: "I'm really sorry that I always trouble you like this. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please feel free to ask."
Wang Heng's smile deepened and became somewhat meaningful: "Of course, you will always help me." After a pause, he said: "It's just...do you have to be so unfamiliar with me?"
"At least we have a dating relationship, and you promised to try dating me. These days when you are here, I often think about it, if I didn't let Fu Huaichen take you away that day, what if I rush in desperately Enter that villa and snatch you out..."
Shen Chuan's hand holding the quilt began to tighten and tremble: "Stop talking, it doesn't make any sense to talk about it now, or God thinks that you and I are not destined."
Wang Heng suddenly grabbed her hand.
"I do not think so."
He looked at her seriously and said word by word: "Don't you think that our reunion here is God's best arrangement for us?"
"Chu'an, there are so many countries in this world, and one country has so many cities, but we two wandering travelers reunited here. Can you still say that we have no fate? There is no Fu Huaichen here, only the two of us. .”
His expression was sincere and focused: "We still have a chance to start over."
Shen Chuan was stunned.
She didn't expect that people like Wang Heng would still miss her.
She withdrew her hand forcefully and said a little tiredly: "Mr. Wang, you may have forgotten, but I think it's better to remind you that Fu Huaichen and I are not divorced. No matter which country's law, he and I are divorced." It’s still a relationship between husband and wife.”
"And just the day before yesterday, the doctor told me that my uterus was severely damaged and both fallopian tubes were removed. It is impossible to get pregnant again."
"I don't know if what you are saying now is due to your habits, or if you have other motives, or something else. In short, what I want to say is, from a practical point of view, you and I both know that your family will never I allow you to marry me, and I will never be your mistress, so please stop saying these words."
Wang Heng was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I just want to tell you that I really like you, before and now."
"Thank you for your love."
Apart from this sentence, she really didn't know what to say.
After recuperating in the hospital for more than two months, Shen Chuan was finally discharged.
It’s almost time to join the company as agreed with the company.
She moved into the house that Wang Heng helped her find. It was very close to the company. The monthly rent was not cheap. There was even no money left from her salary after paying the rent.
Wang Heng advised her more than once: "You are not short of money. It is too hard to be in a foreign country with a child. Even if you want to work, you must at least wait until the child grows up."
"Other people gain weight at least three times after giving birth, but you are almost losing weight."
Shen Chuan wore rich makeup, and a single lipstick was enough to suppress all her haggardness, showing her most beautiful and charming side.
She finally took off her hospital clothes and put on her professional clothes again.
Her figure is still perfect, and her waist is still slender. Compared with the original exquisiteness, she looks more fragile. "I know the days ahead are going to be hard, but I have to go to work."
She said: "A major like mine requires a lot of work experience. Once you leave for a long time, your professional skills will be rusty, and it will be difficult to find a job by then."
"But you have enough property in your name to last you a lifetime, so why do you have to work?"
"I believe that if I were still with Fu Huaichen now, he would definitely persuade me like this." Shen Chuan smiled: "So I left him."
The implication of these words could not be clearer, and Wang Heng really did not dare to persuade him any more.
It was a very, very hard time.
Her work was already tedious and tiring because she had to adapt to the new language environment. In addition, she had not worked for more than half a year, and her work ability had begun to decline.
Moreover, because her baby was born prematurely, her health was very poor and she often got sick. Even if she paid a high price to hire a famous nanny, she could not change it at all.
She didn't know how many nights she spent in the hospital working overtime and revising plans, while holding a feverish and crying baby in her arms.
Seeing the child's hoarse voice crying due to illness and his distressed little face, Shen Chuan felt as if his heart was about to be torn into pieces.
This situation lasted for half a year.
There were several times when she could hardly hold on, and once she even stood on the roof with her child in her arms.
She didn't jump.
The night breeze gently blew her messy hair, and the baby in her arms had just fallen asleep.
The last time she was so desperate and helpless and felt like she couldn't survive, it was Jiang Yuanrui who took her out. This time, she relied on herself.
"I can't lose."
She said to herself: "I can't die, I want to live well."
That night, she cried with tears on her face. After dawn, she seemed to be reborn.
She managed to hold on after all.
Wang Heng never stopped pursuing her.
Perhaps the word "pursuit" is not accurate, because he never asked Shen Chuan to promise him anything, he just stubbornly treated her well.
He would bring a bouquet of flowers to see her on weekends, sometimes milk powder, baby snacks, and diapers. If Shen Chuan was working overtime, he would help her solve work problems. If she happened to be free——
"The National Deep Forest Park is open today. Do you want to go out for a walk?" He looked out the window: "It's rare that the weather is so good."
He moved closer to the crib and said with a smile, "Does Little Muci really want to go too?"
Mu Ci, Shen Mu Ci, is the name given to the child by Shen Chuan. The English name is simpler, MUCER, which is easy to remember.
"If you want to go, just reach out and hug me."
A child under one year old can already recognize people. When he sees a familiar uncle reaching out to him, he will smile and ask for a hug.
"Look, even he agreed."
Shen Chuan put the bottle into her bag: "Okay, I'm just about to take her out anyway."
