Marriage first, love later: Domineering husband comes gently

Chapter 216 Persuading the Old Man

Lying on the big soft and comfortable bed, Chu Haoxuan hugged Shen Ningxuan as usual, and the two snuggled together.

Shen Ningxuan didn't feel sleepy at all, her mind was still a little messy, and she didn't know how to organize it. This man stayed by her side, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She always felt that a barrier was established between herself and him.

At night, it was very quiet, Chu Haoxuan looked at the ceiling and said suddenly, "I'm really sorry today, I was too impulsive."

Shen Ningxuan didn't speak, she hugged Chu Haoxuan quietly, buried her head on his chest, and snuggled up to Chu Haoxuan like a bird.

Chu Haoxuan also hugged Shen Ningxuan tightly, looked at her closely, and said, "Baby, can you promise me one thing?"

"En," Shen Ningxuan nodded, she knew that Chu Haoxuan was so gentle, she must be talking to herself seriously, and she didn't want to give him an ugly expression.

"From now on, don't mention Xu Ming in front of Grandpa," Chu Haoxuan said.

Shen Ningxuan did not speak.

Chu Haoxuan continued, "For our Chu family, he is a taboo. Grandpa can't hear his name. I'm afraid that grandpa's health will be even worse."

Shen Ningxuan thought for a while and said, "Well, I see."

Shen Ningxuan didn't want to ask any more, she knew in her heart that even if she asked more, Chu Haoxuan would not tell her anything.

"Baby, thank you," Chu Haoxuan said.

Shen Ningxuan remembered what Lu Yu told herself before, suddenly raised her head, looked at Chu Haoxuan, and said, "The Jinshui Group is not yours, why do you say it is yours?"

"How do you know?" Chu Haoxuan looked at Shen Ningxuan in surprise, who told him?Except for Lu Yu, no one knew about it.

Chu Haoxuan suddenly thought that he saw Lu Yu chatting with Shen Ningxuan at the party, could it be that Lu Yu told her?
"Lu Yu told you?" Chu Haoxuan asked.

Shen Ningxuan nodded, "Yes."

"Why did he tell you this?" Chu Haoxuan was a little puzzled. Why did Lu Yu say these things? If Lu Shiqi found out, Lu Shiqi, who has always been shrewd and capable, would definitely be under pressure. She knew that Jin Shui invested the money at the beginning. Damn, she must feel that she is under pressure.

Shen Ningxuan did not answer Chu Haoxuan's words, but looked at Chu Haoxuan's worried face, knowing what Chu Haoxuan was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Shiqi, I promised Lu Yu."

Hearing what Shen Ningxuan said, Chu Haoxuan seemed to have calmed down a little. Looking at Shen Ningxuan, he said softly, "I'm also worried about Shiqi, and I'm afraid that she will have too much pressure in her heart."

Shen Ningxuan thought for a while, and then asked out the doubts in her heart, "Haoxuan, I think, for a person as capable as Shiqi, with such strong management skills, even if she knows that the Jinshui Group has nothing to do with our Chu family, she would It will be managed well, why do you and Lu Yu protect Shiqi so much and prevent her from taking the responsibilities she should bear?"

Shen Ningxuan thought in the car back just now that she could understand what Lu Yu and Chu Haoxuan did, but based on her understanding of Shiqi, she should be able to bear this, managing such a large company, even these things Can't bear the pressure?

Chu Haoxuan shook his head, shifted his gaze from Shen Ningxuan's body to the ceiling, looked at the ceiling quietly, and said, "Shiqi was frightened when she was a child, and her heart is not strong enough to bear it, even if these are pressures from work, Lu Yu and I are also very worried, because Lu Yu and I will never forget that time in our lives."

Shen Ningxuan didn't speak, and listened to Chu Haoxuan quietly. He was willing to tell himself what was in his heart, which made him very happy.

"During the summer vacation when I was five years old, Lu Yu and I went to the summer camp with the school. Only Shiqi was at home. At that time, Shiqi's parents were not there. On a night of thunder, Shiqi didn't close the window before going to bed. , heard the sound of thunder in the middle of the night, and ran down to close the window by herself, but was frightened by the thunder, and the window was left open, and even broke the glass on the table. Her feet were tied by the glass, and she hid under the table in fright. It wasn't until the next afternoon that Shiqi's parents found Shiqi, and she had passed out by then."

Chu Haoxuan's voice resounded throughout the room, "Later when Lu Yu and I returned home, Shiqi had already come back from the hospital to be bandaged, but she didn't say a word, and Lu Yu was always by her side when she slept at night. Afraid of the dark, Lu Yu has been with her for half a year. Whenever she fell asleep, Lu Yu would go back to her room to sleep. Half a year later, Shiqi would wake up in the middle of the night, crying, and ran to Lu Yu's room to find her brother. For a while, Shiqi was really fragile."

Listening to Chu Haoxuan saying this with a bitter voice, Shen Ningxuan also felt a little sad. Such a small child, who has been growing up in a warm family, must not be able to bear this sudden experience. The pain of childhood is really The pain of a lifetime, I have experienced it in my heart, and now I think of some things in my childhood, and my memory is very clear.

"Later, Lu Yu's parents saw that Shiqi seldom talked and didn't want to laugh, so they decided to take her away from the family compound. They wanted to change the environment and see if Shiqi could change a little bit," Chu Haoxuan explain.

"What about after that?" Shen Ningxuan asked impatiently.

"After that, in the apartment outside, Shiqi got better and started talking with her family. She laughed when she saw me and Lu Yu, but when she saw her classmates, she was still very indifferent and afraid of rainy days. She would cry when it rained, and she didn't go abroad until she graduated from junior high school," Chu Haoxuan said.

Shen Ningxuan listened quietly without speaking.

After a long time, Shen Ningxuan asked, "Now, Shiqi shouldn't be afraid, right?"

"Well, after all, she has grown up and learned something, but she should not have forgotten the shadow of her childhood. Seeing her like this, Lu Yu and I really can't bear to destroy her. She is living so innocently now, and Lu Yu's heart I'm also very happy," Chu Haoxuan said, he had always known how much Lu Yu had spent on this younger sister.

"Haoxuan, are you worried about Shiqi too?" Shen Ningxuan said.

"Well, she has been following me since I was a child, calling for my brother. I was very happy to see her young when I was a child, but then that happened, and it lasted for so many years. At the beginning, Lu Yu and I were on our own. If we didn't go to the summer camp, Shiqi wouldn't be like this, she might be just like other ordinary girls, but "Chu Haoxuan didn't continue, he couldn't go on, this pain, for himself Said, buried in his heart all the time, unwilling to mention it, since Lu Yu told Shen Ningxuan, he didn't want to hide anything, after all, this woman is his wife, she is often with Shiqi, let her know about Shiqi, And it should be.

Shen Ningxuan hugged Chu Haoxuan tightly, knowing that he was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to give him some warmth. In fact, she knew that Chu Haoxuan was not as strong as he appeared on the surface. He was not a cold person, and he also had his own fragile. On the one hand, he also has feelings.

"We will take care of Shiqi together in the future," Shen Ningxuan said.

"Well," Shen Ningxuan nodded, and continued, "Jin Shui Group has developed to this day, and there is nothing wrong, so let's continue to develop as it is now."

"But Xu Ming's side," Shen Ningxuan said, "Zhongming Group, he is targeting Jinshui Group."

Chu Haoxuan thought for a while and said, "Honey, I believe in Shiqi's ability, she will handle it well."

Shen Ningxuan nodded, and Lu Yu told herself the same, and she also believed in Shiqi's ability, she should be fine.

"En," Shen Ningxuan responded.

"Go to sleep, you've been tired all day, I'll pick up Grandpa from the hospital tomorrow morning, and you send Qianqian to school," Chu Haoxuan said, gently stroking Shen Ningxuan's cheek.

"En," Shen Ningxuan snuggled tightly into Chu Haoxuan's arms, feeling his body temperature, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

After a long time, Chu Haoxuan felt Shen Ningxuan's even breathing, she should have fallen asleep.

Chu Haoxuan hugged Shen Ningxuan tightly, opened his eyes, but his heart was alternately complicated. This woman, he always wanted to protect her, but he was afraid that one day he would not be able to protect her. It's not as good as one day, I am really troubled, and I am even more afraid of losing this woman. I have already lost her once, how can I lose it again?

Chu Haoxuan's eyes gradually became firmer. Since all this can't be avoided, then come on, make your own preparations, and play it by ear to protect this woman and her son. In the early morning, Shen Ningxuan still In a deep sleep, he heard Chu Haoxuan faintly whispering in his ear.

"Baby, sleep a little longer, I'll go to the hospital to pick up Grandpa," Chu Haoxuan said, lying in Shen Ningxuan's ear.

"En," Shen Ningxuan responded.

Chu Haoxuan kissed Shen Ningxuan on the forehead, got out of bed and left.

Chu Haoxuan drove the car and arrived at the hospital. The old man had already packed his things in the ward.

"Haoxuan, you're here so early," the housekeeper said when he saw Chu Haoxuan approaching the ward.

"En," Chu Haoxuan nodded, looked at the old man, and asked worriedly, "Grandpa, are you feeling better?"

"Okay, okay, I'm fine," Chu Chengbi said to Aisun with a tough look.

Chu Haoxuan looked at the smile on the old man's face, but felt a little worried in his heart, but he didn't show anything in front of the old man.

Chu Haoxuan walked up to the old man, supported the old man, and said, "Grandpa, let's go home."

"En, let's go," Chu Chengbi said, and walked out of the hospital with Chu Haoxuan.

The butler followed the two of them.

Shen Ningxuan woke up to the sound of the alarm, rubbed her sleepy eyes, went to the bathroom to wash up, changed her clothes, and walked out of the room to wake her son up.

Pushing open the door of her son's room, Shen Ningxuan saw her son still sleeping. Shen Ningxuan walked over and said, "Qianqian, get up."

"Mummy, I still want to sleep for a while more, woo hoo," Shen Xiaoqian said with a reckless look, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, not wanting to get up.

"Hey, get up quickly, or you'll be late in a while," Shen Ningxuan said while moving her son's arm.

Shen Xiaoqian sat up helplessly from the bed
As soon as Shen Ningxuan and her son went downstairs, they saw the old man and Chu Haoxuan who came back.

"Grandpa," Shen Xiaoqian saw the old man and ran over at once.

"Qianqian," Chu Chengbi said with a smile, and hugged Shen Xiaoqian into his arms.

Shen Ningxuan also walked over, stood beside Chu Haoxuan, and asked in a low voice, "I'm back so soon."

"Well, when I went to the hospital, Grandpa packed everything up, and then we went through the discharge procedures and came back," Chu Haoxuan said.

Chu Chengbi looked at Shen Xiaoqian's cute expression, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, let's go, grandpa will accompany you to eat, and I'm going to school later."

"En," Shen Xiaoqian happily took the old man's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

Chu Haoxuan and Shen Ningxuan looked at each other, then walked towards the restaurant.

After eating, Shen Ningxuan sent her son to school, seeing Shen Ningxuan's car driving out of the family compound, the smiling expression on Chu Chengbi's face slowly disappeared, and he turned and walked into the house.

Standing in the living room, Chu Haoxuan saw the old man walking over.

"Haoxuan, are you okay this morning?" Chu Chengbi looked at Aisun and asked.

"No, Grandpa, what's the matter?" Chu Haoxuan had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure. Seeing the old man's deep expression, he felt a little worried.

"Come to the study, I have something to ask you," Chu Chengbi said calmly, and went upstairs.

Chu Haoxuan paused for a moment, and followed the old man upstairs.

The butler put the medicine brought back in the drawer in front of the old man's bed, and then walked out of the old man's room, knowing that the old man and Chu Haoxuan were in the study, thinking to himself, what are they talking about?
In the study, the old man was sitting at the desk, while Chu Haoxuan stood aside, looking at the old man.

Chu Chengbi sorted out his mood and asked, "Ningxuan, how do you know about Xu Ming?"

Chu Haoxuan shook his head, "I don't know either. I was a little surprised when I was asked yesterday."

"Did no one tell her?" Chu Chengbi asked worriedly.

Chu Haoxuan thought for a while and said, "Probably not, He Xuyan and An Yuhang won't tell her."

Chu Chengbi was a little puzzled, how did this grandson-in-law know?

Chu Chengbi pondered for a while, then remembered something, and asked, "How was the party last night? Did you see him?"

"En," Chu Haoxuan answered the old man's words calmly, and continued, "He has grown up."

Chu Chengbi sighed softly, and said, "It's time for him to grow up after so many years, but when did he come back?"

Facing the old man's question, Chu Haoxuan thought for a while, and answered the old man truthfully, "I've been back for a long time, and things have changed."

"What's wrong?" Chu Chengbi looked at Chu Haoxuan with a bad premonition in his heart.

"He Xuyan and An Yuhang are now under Xu Ming's control," Chu Haoxuan looked at the old man, said seriously, and then added, "There is also Shen Yujin."

"He has been in contact with An Yuhang and He Xuyan?" Chu Chengbi asked urgently.

Chu Haoxuan nodded, "Grandpa, we guessed something wrong at the beginning."

"Say," Chu Chengbi blurted out a sudden order.

"After you gave Xu Ming money back then, he arranged for him to live in a remote place, but he didn't abide by it," Chu Haoxuan said, "When the He family and the An family had an accident, Xu Ming directly changed the place we arranged for He Xuyan He Xuyan's life."

Chu Chengbi looked at Chu Haoxuan with a suspicious expression, and said helplessly, "Could it be that Xu Ming has been taking care of He Xuyan all these years?"

"En," Chu Haoxuan nodded.

Chu Chengbi slapped the table angrily, and continued to ask, "What about An Yuhang?"

"An Yuhang should not have received Xu Ming's help, but An Yuhang's hatred for me, he and Xu Ming are inevitable now," Chu Haoxuan said, he knew that the old man understood.

Chu Chengbi said angrily, "I thought that if I gave that child a sum of money, he would be able to enjoy prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, he came back and wanted to target us."

Seeing the old man's angry look, Chu Haoxuan was very worried about the old man's health, and quickly said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I guessed it a long time ago, and I know what to do."

"No," Chu Chengbi said angrily, "Looks like I should do something, that child is a threat to the Chu family."

"No," Chu Haoxuan immediately resisted. He had never resisted the old man in these years, but this time, he resisted.

Chu Haoxuan immediately said, "Don't do anything to him, I'm afraid things will get worse."

"Whether he can turn the world upside down, I want to see how far he has been tossing all these years?" There was an angry look in Chu Chengbi's eyes, which was extremely terrifying.

Chu Haoxuan looked at the old man's expression and knew that he was angry, but if the old man wanted to make a move, then he couldn't get involved in all the things, so what happened after that, whether it was Shen Ningxuan and his son, or Jinshui Group and Lu Shiqi , All the changes after that, I dare not imagine.

Chu Haoxuan walked up to the old man, gently held the old man's hand, and said calmly, "Grandpa, calm down."

Chu Chengbi did not speak, and sat quietly on the chair.

"Grandpa, leave everything to me. I can handle it well. Xu Ming won't cause any harm to our Chu family, he won't," Chu Haoxuan said firmly, he was not protecting Xu Ming, Rather, he didn't want his original plan to be broken. He knew very well the old man's methods, and his intervention would definitely cause a storm.

Chu Chengbi looked at this Ai Sun, and he didn't know what to do. He would not let anyone who threatened the Chu family go, but this Ai Sun was obviously begging himself not to intervene.

After a long time, Chu Chengbi said, "Haoxuan, grandpa believes in your wit, you must protect the Chu family, as well as Ningxuan and Qianqian, especially Qianqian, he is a descendant of our Chu family. Let him have an accident."

Chu Haoxuan nodded firmly, looked into the eyes of the old man, and said seriously, "I will."

Chu Chengbi did not speak.

Chu Haoxuan knew that the old man would not intervene, as long as he left it to himself, everything was under his control, even if there were changes, he would deal with it.

"Did Ningxuan see him last night?" Chu Chengbi asked suddenly.

"Well, but Ningxuan put all her thoughts on Shen Yujin at that time, and didn't have much contact with him," Chu Haoxuan said.

Chu Chengbi nodded, indicating that he already knew, and said, "It is inevitable that we will meet in the future, you should pay more attention, I am worried that he will target you and start with people around you."

These words reached Chu Haoxuan's heart. What Chu Haoxuan was always worried about was what Xu Ming would do to Shen Ningxuan and his son. The words of the old man reminded himself even more to be cautious.

"Well, I got it, Grandpa," Chu Haoxuan said, he didn't want to show too much in front of the old man, he was afraid that the old man would worry, he should take good care of his body, he would take care of everything, his Worried about himself but afraid of his physical deterioration.
