Chapter 141 Nian Nian, I'll Always Be Here
Shen Nian didn't know how to describe her feelings. It was as if she was a drowning person who, when she couldn't breathe, was given oxygen and brought ashore.
Her depressed mood, which had been weighing on her mind, instantly brightened.
She stood at the doorway, stunned for a few seconds, and before she could even put on her slippers, she rushed toward the kitchen.
"Uncle, why are you back?" Her surprise and joy were palpable, her tone cheerful and lively, like a little bird.
As if he had timed her return perfectly, Mo Ze brought the last pot of three-delicacy soup to the table. Several dishes had already been cooked on the table, and the bowls and chopsticks were set out.
He looked at the person standing barefoot on the floor, frowned slightly, and instead of immediately answering Shen Nian's question, asked her with concern, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
He came back without turning on the floor heating, only the air conditioning, and the floor was still ice cold.
Shen Nian playfully stuck out her tongue and replied, "I forgot."
Then I went to the entryway to put on my slippers before walking back to the dining room.
Moze had already ladled out a bowl of hot soup for her.
Shen Nian, who had just felt no appetite and not hungry, suddenly felt hungry. Looking at the sumptuous and delicious food on the table, she unconsciously swallowed.
"Drink some soup first to warm your stomach," Mo Ze gently reminded her.
"Okay." Shen Nian replied with a smile, sat down opposite Mo Ze, and picked up the soup that had been served in front of her to drink.
After drinking half a bowl of hot soup, my stomach felt warm.
She put down her bowl, looked at the elegant person opposite her, and asked the same question she had asked when she entered.
"Uncle, why are you back at this hour?"
It's the end of the year, and the company is very busy. The uncle was still working overtime a few days ago, so she was really surprised to see Mo Ze at home when she came back at noon today.
Mo Ze looked up and saw her face full of surprise and anticipation, and felt that his decision to come back today was absolutely right.
I was quite busy the past few days, with many year-end meetings, and I didn't get back until quite late. We couldn't have lunch together, nor could we sit down for dinner together, which he didn't like.
He came back after the meeting this morning and personally cooked this meal.
Last night, Shen Nian mentioned to him that she was going to the nursing home today. He originally said he would go with her, but Shen Nian said she could manage on her own, so Mo Ze didn't go with her.
There are some things and some people she might want to face on her own!
"I wasn't busy today, so I came back early to make sure you ate lunch properly!" Mo Ze replied to Shen Nian with a smile.
Shen Nian lowered her head guiltily.
With the older man gone, she really managed to satisfy her stomach quite well.
“I eat it at every meal…” Shen Nian retorted softly.
Anyway, whether it's noodles, fried rice, or takeout, I eat it for every meal.
Mo Ze smiled gently and didn't expose him.
Anyway, he's decided that he'll supervise every meal from now on. Kids these days really don't know how to take care of themselves!
After enjoying a hot and delicious lunch and cleaning up, the two of them watched TV together in the living room.
On a leisurely afternoon, the warm winter sun shines through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a cozy and sweet atmosphere.
Shen Nian leaned on Mo Ze's shoulder, covered with a thin blanket. The TV screen was showing the drama she had been watching at home recently, and Mo Ze was watching it with her.
However, her attention didn't seem to be on the TV series today; she kept secretly glancing at Mo Ze's profile.
Moze turned his head, and she pretended to be watching TV. Moze let her do her little tricks, pretending that he didn't notice that she was peeking at him.
After one episode of the TV series ended, Shen Nian had no idea what the plot was about.
She then lay down directly, resting her head on Moze's lap, using his lap as a human pillow.
At this moment, she had completely stopped looking at the screen and was staring at Moze's chin, as if she could never get tired of looking at him.
Suddenly, she blurted out something out of the blue.
"Uncle, I saw my dad at the nursing home today..."
“Mm,” Moze replied.
He knew what Shen Nian wanted to say. He already knew about her going to the nursing home, and since she brought it up again, it seemed that she wasn't in a good mood after today...
“He’s aged a lot, and he can’t even walk properly anymore. He’s completely different from how he used to hit me…”
Shen Nian played with Mo Ze's fingers as she spoke slowly.
Mo Ze didn't say a word, but just looked down at the expression on her face and listened attentively.
"He even did his own laundry. I had never seen him do laundry before, and I was quite shocked when I saw him bring back the washed clothes today."
"I barely exchanged two words with him, and it seemed like there was nothing to say."
"When I saw him like this, I always thought I would feel great. This is the consequence of his infidelity."
"But I'm quite calm today. I know I haven't forgiven him, I can't. But... I don't seem to hate him either. I feel so conflicted!"
Shen Nian spoke haltingly, her tone sometimes dejected and sometimes confused, her emotions rising and falling with her words.
Her biggest dilemma and source of pain was that she could neither forgive nor turn a blind eye to everything.
After all, they were the ones who gave him life.
Mo Ze gently stroked Shen Nian's palm. After she opened up to him for the first time and told him about her feelings that day, he gently ruffled her black hair.
The deep, resonant male bass voice can touch the softest part of your heart the moment he opens his mouth.
"Niannian, don't think too much. Just follow your heart and do whatever you want. Don't worry about anything or get caught up in anything. I will always be by your side and with you. You will never be alone again."
Mo Ze's words were more like a gentle confession. Shen Nian's heart softened, her nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.
Her eyes were red as she thought to herself.
Perhaps all the hardships she endured were just to meet the older man.
She once regretted going to Rome with Chu Yunyi, because that trip to Rome resulted in her losing her mother upon her return, and Chu Yunyi's heart also changed.
Now, she's glad she went to Rome and stayed at that hotel.
That was the place where I first met the older man, and where our fate began.
It seemed as if fate had ordained them to be together.
“He asked me today, ‘Are you good to me?’” Shen Nian said again.
Mo Ze raised an eyebrow, knowing that the 'he' she was referring to was her father.
"What did you answer?" He suddenly became very curious about the answer to this question.
Shen Nian looked at the person in front of her and smiled sweetly.
I said, "Very good!"
Mo Ze also smiled.
Then he lowered his head and gently kissed Shen Nian's forehead. Shen Nian took the initiative to hook her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his...
After succeeding, she smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle, let's go to Rome together after the Spring Festival!"
"it is good."
Moze smiled and replied, then picked the person up from the sofa in a princess carry.
"But we have more important things to do now..."
After saying that, he picked the person up and walked directly towards the bedroom.
