wanted to go over and tap him on the shoulder. "Hey kid, wake up! This isn't someone you should fancy; she’s already taken."Moreover, this girl is not Princess Xiangxiang.Chen Hang was a domestic fir...Chapter 228

This is what parents are like.

This is the sorrow of being born into a wealthy family; personal interests always come first, while children's happiness comes second.

"Shuwen, you will surely regret this," Zhao Yuning murmured to herself. He would definitely regret how he treated her today and feel remorse...

Tang Shuwen narrowed his eyes. Whether or not he would regret it in the future was something he didn’t know about, but right now, he felt no regrets at all. Even if Zhao Yuning’s child inside of her really belonged to him, he wouldn't feel any remorse for today's decision.

"Yuning, we are all part of the same circle and aware that what we do can affect others. I won’t hold it against you this time with the matter at the TV station; however, in public settings from now on, please don’t say things without evidence to besmirch Xueru’s reputation. If you want to take out your frustration over me wronging you, direct it all towards me and not Xueru. She is a public figure; I won't be lenient with you if you slander her. No matter who the person involved is or what their relationship with you is like, I will react in the same way. That’s all I have to say; you decide for yourself how to proceed."

Tang Shuwen sternly said this with a firm and domineering tone that exuded his power as the head of Long Gate.

Xueru had already suffered enough from false accusations; he didn’t want her reputation tarnished further by being labeled as someone else’s mistress.

He gave her the title of Mrs. Tang to allow her respect and happiness, not ridicule and shame. He liked her, so he wouldn't let her experience this awkward situation.

Sometimes, one person should bear the consequences alone.

She had made no mistakes at all in this marriage.

No need to pay any price for it.

Zhao Yuning watched with tears streaming down her face as Tang Shuwen drove away. The tears flowed endlessly; he left like that, and his car merged into the night sky until it vanished from her sight. Zhao Yuning’s head throbbed painfully, as if a knife was scraping against her scalp. Her world now mirrored tonight's heavy, dark night sky, devoid of all its former glory. Tang Shuwen had abandoned her.

He abandoned her.

Shuwen no longer wants her.

The happy moments they once shared flashed before her eyes, making her current sorrow even more poignant. It was truly painful, so very painful.

Zhao Yuning hugged herself and slowly crouched down, murmuring in pain, why, why, why... He actually said harsh words to her for the sake of Chen Xueru because she had harmed Chen Xueru's reputation. Did he really love her so much She didn't believe it.

Chen Xueru, I hate you, Tang Shuwen, I hate you.

I hate both of you.

Tang Shuwen returned home very late.

He went to his bedroom; a dim lamp was on in the room, but Xueru wasn't there. Tang Shuwen thought that she must be with Xiaonian. He smiled and went to take a shower first before heading next door to look for them.

It was very late at night, and Chen Xueru had already fallen asleep while holding Xiaonian.

The little guy slept rather soundly; Chen Xueru held him tightly as their two faces rested quietly together. His heart felt like it was melting in a warm hot spring, instantly softened. In the future, he would protect Chen Xueru and Xiaonian.

Chen Xueru sneezed softly and woke up to see him sitting by the bed. She was about to speak when he leaned down to kiss her lips. The taste of his kiss was always one she couldn't get enough of; every time he kissed her, it brought back memories from his teenage years, a young man full of passion but clueless.

She had grown accustomed to his affection and had even been awakened by him before in the midst of sleep. Their lips met, they were intimate partners who could never be too close.

She made a soft sound and pushed at his shoulder, "No, we'll wake Xiaonian."

Tang Shuwen pecked at her red lips and gently sucked for a while before letting go, "Why did you end up sleeping over here."

She was afraid of waking Xiao Nian, so she sat up, which made her feel chilly. Tang Shuwen made her lie down again. She smiled; what was he going to do Tang Shuwen shifted a little as he held Xiao Nian and squeezed next to Xue Ruo, then he lay down.

Her warm spot in the blanket felt so comfortable that Tang Shuwen was extremely contented. Xiao Nian slept deeply and wasn’t woken by his parents. Chen Xueruo saw this situation and playfully pushed him, "Go back to your room."

"It’s fine; let’s just sleep like this," said Tang Shuwen. Chen Xueruo looked at the bed Xiao Nian was on and noticed that she was lying sideways as well as Tang Shuwen was, so it would be a bit crowded if another person joined them.

She was afraid that they might accidentally push Xiao Nian off the bed later.

"Be good; don’t move. I don’t mind you sleeping on top of me," said Tang Shuwen as he pinched her upturned nose. Chen Xueruo had no choice but to follow him. Originally, he wanted to tell Chen Xueruo about Zhao Yuning’s matter, but they were newlyweds and he had just barely escaped a life-threatening situation; he didn’t want any more complications.

Furthermore, regardless of whether the child was his or not, it couldn’t be kept alive anyway, so there was no need to tell Xueruo about this matter.

This kind of suffering and torment could be endured by him alone; he didn’t want Xueruo to go through such pain.

At present, seeing her frown made his heart ache.

Perhaps it was due to her past experiences that evoked compassion in his heart. Perhaps it was because despite enduring hardships and storms, she still managed to raise Xiao Nian so well and possessed such an optimistic and resilient nature; no matter which aspect of her he saw, she made him feel compassionate.

He didn’t want Xueruo to cry or grieve, nor did he wish for their family to be separated.

He had already determined that this was his wife and child.

"After the third day of the first lunar month, shall we go on a honeymoon Where do you want to go" He still owed her a honeymoon.

"I like Paris."

With a little peck on her cheek, Tang Shuwen said, "Then it’s settled; let's go to Paris. Now sleep."

Nuanwen went back to the Hometown Warm Family for New Year’s Eve dinner. Ye Feimo came to pay respects on the second day of the first lunar month with several cans of good quality tea leaves. He said they were very high-grade, but Nuanwen did not care and was not interested. However, her father loved them; he brewed a pot that same day and praised it nonstop, calling it priceless treasures that made life worth living.

As for the mother’s side, she received a jewelry necklace. There were plenty of designs under Anning’s brand, but the pigeon blood red ruby necklace was to her liking as well; she smiled broadly at receiving such a gift.

Wen Jing, however, got an unnamed tablet computer. According to Wen Jing, its functions were better than even Steve Jobs’ Apple products. Without hesitation, Wen Jing abandoned Steve Jobs and leaned on Ye Feimo.

He managed to make everyone happy despite his expressionless face. Rarely did he smile, but after a few visits, the couple’s parents had come to know his temperament and were used to it.

So what if he was cold like an ice block As long as his heart wasn’t made of ice, that would be fine.

This kind of exterior coldness with a warm inner self was very considerate. The gifts did not have to be expensive; the point was in their suitability and how every gift hit the spot, which was most important.

And so Nuanwen sadly discovered that her parents and sister were all leaning on Ye Feimo.

The saddest part was that everyone else had received gifts while she alone did not.ook a few steps back, not letting Mo Chen get close. She looked at him with a somewhat pitiful expression, recalling how she felt back then.The feeling of being secretly in love is completely differen...
