Chapter 257 Children Shouldn't Ask About Adult Matters

"Really?" Ye Yanzhi was still a little uneasy.

"Really." Su Zhu thought he was too timid. "I've never seen you so reserved before. How come you become a completely different person when it comes to matters of the heart?"

Ye Yanzhi: "You don't understand."

Su Zhu shared her thoughts: "I don't understand. I only know that if you like someone but don't even have the courage to admit it, then there's no point in liking them."

"It's not like you'd confess your feelings to anyone you like," Ye Yanzhi retorted.

"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Su Zhu has always been brave in these matters. "If I really meet someone who isn't dating or married, I'll pursue him with all my might."

Ye Yanzhi's lips twitched.

Su Zhu ground her back teeth: "What's with that expression?"

Ye Yanzhi was truly unafraid of being beaten up: "I feel quite sorry for the person you like."

He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for Su the Great Demon to like someone. Given her temperament—she'd beat him up at the slightest disagreement—wouldn't she chase after and beat up anyone who didn't like her?

"Believe it or not, I'll go tell Ruan Ruan right now that you like her." Su Zhu thought he was just asking for trouble.

"The person you like is incredibly lucky!" Ye Yanzhi immediately changed his tune, realizing he couldn't afford to offend this person. "I wonder who will be fortunate enough to be your husband in the future."

Su Zhu rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

After glancing in the direction Jiang Ruan went, he started the car and drove away.

When Jiang Ruan went in, Jiang An and Sui Sui were waiting for her in the living room. When she saw her come back, Sui Sui rushed over with her short legs and hugged her: "Mommy!"

Jiang Ruan knelt down to receive his hug.

Sui Sui gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Ruan's eyes. Why was her darling suddenly so enthusiastic?

"Mommy," Sui Sui called sweetly.

Jiang Ruan's voice rose at the end, her face full of tenderness: "Hmm?"

Sui Sui's round eyes are so cute: "Are you happier now?"

Jiang Ruan reached out and ruffled his hair: "I'm so happy to see your mommy."

"If anything happens in the future, just tell me and Grandma." Sui Sui held her hand, her face serious as if making a promise. "We will always be your family."

Jiang Ruan was taken aback.

She realized he was trying to comfort her about her relationship with Huo Zhizhou.

During the years of their marriage, she would share everything that happened to her with Huo Zhizhou, and their relationship was truly very good.

"good."

Perhaps they are surrounded by love, or perhaps they haven't realized it yet, or perhaps their emotions have been exhausted.

At this moment, she didn't have much of an emotional reaction to the divorce; she just felt a little regretful about the five years of wonderful memories.

"Get some rest early tonight. I'll take you to handle the property transfer in a couple of days." Jiang An had only gotten into trouble a year after they got married, so she naturally knew how deep her feelings for Huo Zhizhou were.

"No need." Jiang Ruan didn't want to stop. "I'll go tomorrow."

Jiang An reminded her, "After all those things are transferred to you, the Qin family will take you over to discuss matters. Are you in a good state of mind?"

It's not that she doesn't trust her.

Five years of unforgettable feelings—how could they be left unaffected after they ended?

She broke off her relationship with Li Zhishen cleanly on the surface, but it took her a long time to get over it.

“Okay, the property transfer will also take a few days to be fully completed.” Jiang Ruan didn’t want to be idle. “This period is enough time to adjust.”

"Okay." Jiang An didn't say anything more.

That evening.

Jiang Ruan thought she could fall asleep unaffected, but she was wrong.

The arrival of night made her thoughts run wild. The photo Huo Sinian showed her floated in her mind. Even though she had only looked at it for a short while, she could still clearly remember Huo Zhizhou's expression and everything else.

Si Ning's words also came out at this moment.

His best friend died.

—Jumping off a building.

— Huo Zhizhou collected his body and held his funeral.

She pulled the blanket over herself and turned over, not wanting to continue dwelling on these emotions.

They've already divorced, and she and he are now just strangers with no connection whatsoever. What happened in the past or what will happen in the future has absolutely nothing to do with her.

But the more this happens, the more uncontrollably those thoughts in my mind amplify.

Meanwhile, on Sui Sui's side...

He opened Huo Zhizhou's chat window with his smartwatch, wanting to say something but unsure how to begin.

After all, he's his own father. He divorced his mother, so as his son, he should have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

I hesitated for ten minutes.

I sent a text message instead: "Uncle Huo, I heard you and Mommy got divorced?"

Huo Zhizhou was still working overtime at the company when he received this message. He glanced at the time—00:03:47—and typed on the keyboard: 【Worried?】

Sui Sui is a little bit arrogant.

He usually doesn't admit to feeling this worry in front of him.

"I'm happy." Sui Sui sent a voice message because she was too lazy to type, her voice soft and sweet with a hint of crispness. "I'm happy that Mommy can finally find me a lot of dads legitimately."

Huo Zhizhou went along with him, saying, "[Tell me when you find them, and I'll come and meet your dozen or so stepfathers.]"

Sui Sui: "..."

How shameless.

Huo Zhizhou: [It's getting late, go to sleep.]

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Sui Sui asked.

"To prevent you from treating those dozen or so stepfathers as your real fathers, I have to put in some effort," Huo Zhizhou casually made up an excuse.

Sui Sui's face didn't look as relaxed as his tone.

A dozen seconds later, he called him.

Huo Zhizhou answered almost instantly: "Can't sleep?"

"Do you regret divorcing Mommy?" Sui Sui asked instead of answering.

Huo Zhizhou did not answer.

I never thought about actually getting a divorce, so how could I have any regrets?

"If you apologize to Mommy properly and promise never to do it again, I can put in a good word for you with Mommy and let you come over for a meal once a month." Sui Sui still genuinely wanted them to be well.

Even if we don't remarry, we can still be friends.

Huo Zhizhou tightened his grip on his phone slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said a few words: "Go to sleep early."

Sui Sui: "?"

Sui Sui noticed something was wrong.

Given his father's shamelessness, he would only mock him after he said those words: "Do I need you to speak well of me?"

In his father's mind, he should pamper his own wife and not need anyone else's help.

Is he hiding something from him by avoiding answering now?

"Are you and Mommy hiding something from me?"

"Children shouldn't ask about adult matters," Huo Zhizhou said in an unchanged tone.

"If you don't tell me, I'll try to set Mommy up with other people every day." Sui Sui used her trump card, "You'll regret it when Mommy marries someone else."

"Then find a reliable matchmaker." Huo Zhizhou said in his usual tone.

Sui Sui's little face was puffed up with anger: "I'm serious. Grandma has taken me to meet a lot of people recently. The sons of those grandpas and grandmas are about the same age as Mommy, and they are all very outstanding."

"Hmm," Huo Zhizhou replied calmly.

Sui Sui got a little emotional: "Uncle Huo!"

Huo Zhizhou's gaze was still fixed on the computer screen: "You're already losing your temper?"

Sui Sui: "..."

Sui Sui hung up the phone decisively.

Stinky dad!

Believe it or not, he actually tries to matchmake other people with Mommy.
