My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

"Get out!"

Su Zhen looked at him with grievance: "What’s wrong?"

Su Yan shifted his gaze away without looking at her, brought the cigarette to his mouth, took a drag in front of her, and then exhaled a puff of white smoke.

He had started smoking a long time ago, just never in front of her.

When Su Zhen saw how annoyed he was with her, she lightly dropped her gaze, took a step back, and put her hand on the doorknob to say to him, "It’s time to cut the cake."

Su Yan acted as if he hadn’t heard, flicking the ash from the cigarette in his hand.

Su Zhen looked at him for a few seconds, then lowered her head and walked out.

Upon seeing her come out alone, Yin Xiaojing asked, "Where is he?"

Su Zhen, also in a sour mood, frowned slightly and said, "He seems unhappy."

Yin Xiaojing sighed, it would be strange if he could be happy.

At that moment, the hotel waiter brought out a five-tiered cake. The cake was obviously custom-made with care; the lower tiers were constructed ofcream into dreamy flowers and foliage, resembling a fairy tale kingdom, and each layer had a cartoon character, modeled after the characters she had played in TV dramas, clearly made to resemble her.

The people around took out their phones and began to photograph and admire this exquisite cake, while Su Zhen quietly sat there, turning her head to glance at the closed door of the screening room.

Noticing her gaze, Yin Xiaojing deliberately said, "This cake was designed by someone Su Yan paid a lot of money for."

Su Zhen withdrew her gaze and looked at Yin Xiaojing, who was inserting candles into the cake.

Amidst the birthday song, Su Zhen lost the joy she usually felt on her birthdays.

"An’an, make a wish and blow out the candles," Rong Yushen reminded her. Only then did Su Zhen come back to her senses, looking at the flickering candlelight in the dark, clasped her hands together piously, made a wish, and then blew out the candles in one breath.

Yin Xiaojing handed her the cake cutter. She took it, eyeing the beautiful cake, not sure where to start cutting.

As she hesitated, the door to the screening room opened. Su Yan came out, his cigarette gone, walking toward them, but he didn’t glance at Su Zhen, merely saying to Yin Xiaojing, "I’ve got something on, I have to go."

Yin Xiaojing knew it was just an excuse. Seeing the tears welling up in Su Zhen’s eyes, she grabbed Su Yan and said, "Have some cake before you leave."

"I don’t like sweets," he said, then turned to leave.

With Su Yan’s departure, Su Zhen’s mood also soured.

After eating the cake without much enthusiasm and considering everyone had class the next day, Su Zhen waited for her classmates to be picked up by their families before she left with Yin Xiaojing.

In the car, Su Zhen held a transparent plastic box containing a piece of cake with a little figure lying on top.

Staring at it, Su Zhen suddenly lifted her head and asked, "Aunt Xiaojing, does Uncle no longer want me?"

Yin Xiaojing was taken aback, what’s gotten into these kids?

She was tempted to reveal Su Yan’s thoughts, but considering the delicate relationship between the two kids, she dared not blurt out the whole truth, in case it made things even more awkward.

"Of course not, Uncle loves you so much, how could he not want you? Uncle is just too busy, he was called away by Director Wang for filming just now."

"But just now he seemed to really dislike me..."

That’s not dislike, clearly he was jealous!

After thinking for a moment, Yin Xiaojing said, "Your Uncle is probably upset because you didn’t listen to him."

"Where did I not listen?"

"Did Uncle tell you not to date so early? Look, your Uncle is in his twenties and he still doesn’t have a girlfriend. How old are you?"

Su Zhen fell silent, with a look of "The adult world is complicated, I don’t understand" on her face.

"Just say something nice to him and it’ll be fine."

Su Zhen remembered his expression when he told her to leave the screening room and couldn’t help feeling scared; what if she went back and he sent her away again?

Yin Xiaojing led her to the door and took out her keys to unlock it. The lights inside were on, indicating he had returned.

Su Zhen stood by the door, holding Yin Xiaojing’s hand, scared to enter her own home and just cautiously peeking inside.

Yin Xiaojing purposely said loudly, "Su Yan! I’ve brought An’an back, Old Zheng just called saying Xiao Zheng had diarrhea, I have to leave now."

As she finished, she let go of Su Zhen, nudged her into the house, closed the door behind her, and then left.

Su Zhen, holding the box, stood uneasily by the door, watching Su Yan emerge from his room.

He glanced at her once, then walked toward the sofa, sat down, and picked up the remote to turn on the TV.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, Su Zhen bent down to change her shoes and walked in, stopping about a meter away from him, tentatively calling out, "Uncle."

He treated her as if she were air.

Su Zhen then sat down beside him, placed the box on the coffee table, and playfully tugged at his arm, coquettishly pleading, "Uncle~"

That’s when Su Yan finally gave her a sidelong glance.

Seeing his cold gaze, Su Zhen timidly lowered her head.

In the silence, Su Zhen began to confess, "Uncle, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have fallen in love so young. I’ll tell Rong Yushen tomorrow that I’ll be his girlfriend when I grow up."

Su Yan still had a stern face, when suddenly the phone lying on the sofa went "ding dong" with a sound. Su Yan turned his head and saw a message pop up on the lock screen; it was from Yin Xiaojing.

The text said: An’an didn’t do anything wrong, don’t give her a hard time. Today in the car she even asked if you don’t want her anymore. The kid doesn’t know what you’re thinking, throwing a tantrum won’t help.

As she spoke, there came another "ding dong." "You might as well indulge her, I don’t see Rong Yushen as that good of a guy anyway, they’ll break up before long. If they don’t, you’ll have to think of a way to help them do it. Eating your heart out alone is pointless.

The phone screen turned off after a while, and only then did Su Yan shift his gaze onto Su Zhen, who was looking at him with a pitiful expression, just like Big Miao and Xiao Miao after making a mess and begging their owner for forgiveness.

Indeed, he shouldn’t have lost his temper at her. It wasn’t her fault.

"Uncle, stop being mad, will you?"

Su Yan sighed softly, looking at her with an elder’s eyes.

"I’m not mad, just now it was me in the wrong, I took my work frustrations out on you."

Upon hearing this, that it wasn’t because of her puppy love but rather work, Su Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then boldly snuggled into his embrace: "Uncle, did you encounter something unhappy at work?"

Su Yan put his arm around her lightly, tilting his head to look at the TV: "No."

"Tell me! If you talk about what’s making you unhappy, you’ll feel better."

"Now I’m no longer unhappy."

Hearing him say that, Su Zhen finally let go of her worries, then picked up the box from the coffee table, and sat back down in front of him, saying, "I brought a little something back for you, try it! It’s really tasty."

Su Yan glanced at her, but made no move.

She lifted the lid of the box, crossed her legs on the sofa, and pointed at the cream figure lying inside, giggling: "I’ll let you eat me."

Su Yan looked at it. The cream figure had deformed, barely recognizable as a human shape, and looked somewhat ugly.

He took the little spoon from her hand, scooped up the head of the cream figure, and she immediately held her head and exaggeratedly acted out: "Ah~ My head! You ate my head!"

Su Yan smiled helplessly, scooping up a mouthful and stuffing it directly into her wide-open mouth. She smiled sweetly, holding his arm: "Tasty!" Then she leaned in again, "I want more."

Su Yan put down the spoon, wiped the cream off her face with his fingertip, then scooped another mouthful and delivered it to her lips: "Didn’t you just eat?"

She ate it, her eyes innocent and her speech muffled, "Just now I thought you were mad, I wasn’t in the mood to eat at all."

Su Yan was silent, handing her the spoon, and after she took a few bites, she said, "Uncle, do you know what wish I made?"

"Hmm?"

"I wish that we’d never be apart."

Su Yan was slightly taken aback, "’We,’ is it you and me or you and your little boyfriend?"

She bit on the spoon, smiling, her head resting on his shoulder: "Of course it’s you and me! Also, I’ll tell him tomorrow that he can be my boyfriend after I grow up. For now, we’ll just be good friends!"

Su Yan was silent for two seconds before asking, "Is he that good?"

"Hmm..." Su Zhen seemed to ponder, then answered him, "Actually, I’m not that familiar with him. He just gave me a ride home on that rainy day and then we had a few meals together at school. Most importantly, he’s the first boy who chased after me." Saying that, she burst into an overflow of girlish laughter.

Su Yan didn’t speak any further; was it really that simple for her to consider that boy in her future life?

Really didn’t know whether to say she was too easily satisfied, or just naive and impulsive.

Su Zhen nestled in his embrace, spooning the entire cake from the box into her mouth.

This birthday, all in all, wasn’t too bad.

The next day, Su Zhen did indeed go and speak to Rong Yushen about dating, but it seemed to be just for the sake of saying it.

Over the next few days, whenever Su Zhen had free time, she squeezed it out to spend with Rong Yushen. Su Yan was busy with work, couldn’t see her during the day, and when he returned at night, she’d be hiding under the covers chatting with Rong Yushen.

On the rare occasions when both of them had time off, she would run out to find Rong Yushen...

In the early morning, Su Yan sat on the balcony reading a script, while Su Zhen ran downstairs holding a few dresses: "Uncle, I have a movie date with Rong Yushen today, which dress do you think I should wear?"

Su Yan frowned, "Going out despite the rain?"

"But I already bought the movie tickets yesterday."

Su Yan kept a straight face, clearly a bit uncomfortable, but because he usually had that expression, Su Zhen, with her thick skin, didn’t notice his displeasure and asked somewhat anxiously, "Quick, tell me, which one to wear?"

"This one." He stretched his hand to point at the black dress with the longest hemline.

Su Zhen looked at it, "It’s a pity I like the white one."

"The black one looks good."

"Really?" She was doubtful but seeing Su Yan nod slightly, she happily went back to her room, changed into the black dress, and with a small crossbody bag walked towards the door: "Uncle! I’m heading out!"

"Mhm. Remember to take an umbrella."

"Oh! Right! The umbrella!"

She whirled around the house like a tornado, and only when she left the room did things quiet down.

The moment the door closed, Su Yan shut the script, changed his clothes, and, with an umbrella, followed out...
