905 Chose to Go Abroad

Amid their conversation, Xiao Yu carefully avoided touching Shen Hanxing’s wrist, making sure not to overstep any boundaries, and finally helped her put on the bracelet.

Shen Hanxing’s wrist was slender, with cold white skin. Beside the red string her grandmother had given her, she now had a white gold bracelet, which unexpectedly complemented her appearance.

Xiao Yu looked down and sincerely praised, “It looks great and suits you well.”

“What suits my wife?” Just then, a cold voice sounded, and Ji Yan approached with two gla.s.ses of red wine. He placed one of the gla.s.ses in Shen Hanxing’s hand and gently kissed her forehead before turning to look at Xiao Yu.

Ji Yan glanced at Xiao Yu, maintaining a composed demeanor, and raised his gla.s.s as a gesture. “Mr. Xiao, long time no see. What were you talking about?”

“Xiao Yu gave me a bracelet as a gift.” Shen Hanxing helplessly explained to Xiao Yu, “I invited you here to share my joy, so it’s a bit wasteful for you to do this.” She didn’t want her sharing to become a burden on their friends.h.i.+p. Even though her status had changed, her feelings toward her friends hadn’t, and she didn’t want them to feel otherwise.

“It’s not a waste as long as you like it.” Xiao Yu’s face seemed to pale a bit, but a gentle smile appeared. He took a step back to a more appropriate distance and looked at Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan. “Actually, I gave you this gift not only to celebrate your return to campus but also as a wedding gift for you.” He dropped a bombsh.e.l.l lightly, “I’ll be going abroad soon, so I might not be able to attend your wedding. I hope you can forgive me for being absent on such an important occasion.”

Going abroad?

Shen Hanxing raised her eyes abruptly. “Which country are you going to? When did you make this decision? Who are you going with? What are you going to do there?”

Did she not show enough concern for them during this period? Why did Xiao Yu only tell her about such an important matter when he was about to leave?

Ji Yan’s expression also showed some surprise. His dark eyes fell on Xiao Yu, and he furrowed his eyebrows. Seeing Shen Hanxing’s anxiety, he reached out and embraced her shoulder, speaking gently, “Honey, don’t worry. Mr. Xiao is not a child anymore. Since he has made a decision, he must have his reasons. Why don’t we listen to him first?”

Shen Hanxing pursed her lips. How could she not be anxious? Going abroad was not a trivial matter, and from Xiao Yu’s indications, it was clear that he didn’t plan on coming back anytime soon.

Xiao Yu was also somewhat surprised by Shen Hanxing’s strong reaction. He fell silent for a moment and intentionally wore a relaxed smile on his lips. “I’m not a child anymore, so why are you so anxious? Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Shen Hanxing remained silent, her distinct black and white eyes fixed on Xiao Yu, clearly conveying that she wouldn’t let him go until he explained.

Seeing Shen Hanxing in this state, Xiao Yu felt helpless and sighed before speaking, “My parents have come to find me.” The current situation was that, with the support of the government, orphans grew up in welfare inst.i.tutions. The children from the slums, like Shen Hanxing, either lived with older relatives who earned very little, or their parents had limited abilities to work. However, Xiao Yu’s situation was different. He ended up in the slums because someone abandoned him there on a snowy night over twenty years ago. At the time, his grandpa Xiao was a homeless scavenger who found the crying, voiceless Xiao Yu next to a trash can and settled him in the slums, raising him.

Xiao Yu was a physically healthy boy, yet he was abandoned on the streets. Xiao Yu grew up in a wild and rough manner, never questioning who his biological parents were. Now, why would his parents suddenly come looking for him twenty years later? If they could abandon an infant who couldn’t survive on his own back then, why would they come looking for him now?

“Are you going abroad with them?” Shen Hanxing’s brows furrowed tightly. “Do you know them? What were they doing all these years? Why are they looking for you now?”

Shen Hanxing knew she was being unreasonable, but she couldn’t help feeling cautious and guarded towards Xiao Yu’s parents.

“Hanxing,” Xiao Yu looked at Shen Hanxing calmly. His gaze was very serene. “I’m not a child anymore.” He repeated this sentence once again, his voice soft yet resolute. “I won’t let sentimental parental love cloud my judgment. I know what I’m doing.”
