Please Confess to Me

Chapter 51

***

Although his accident had been dangerous, Su Hang recovered quickly. After only three days of observation, the doctor agreed to let him go home to recuperate.

Shen Xi arrived at the hospital early today to pick Su Hang up. She packed up Su Hang's things and ran around the hospital to go through the formalities for discharge. Su Hang tried to help her several times, but he was shut down by Shen Xi every time. Finally, he obediently sat down on a chair and watched his wife busy herself. Gradually, he felt his heart warm at the sight.

So this was what it felt like to be taken care of and cherished.

"Lower your head a little."Shen Xi suddenly walked towards Su Hang and told him.

Su Hang obediently bowed his head.

Shen Xi pulled out a black cap she had bought yesterday and gently helped Su Hang put it on. Afterward, she smiled and said: "Done."

Su Hang felt the hat on his head, a little disappointed. "So it was a hat..."

"What did you think it'd be?" Shen Xi looked at him with a wry smile.

"Nothing." Su Hang touched the hat once more. "It's warm."

"Let's go then." Shen Xi picked up the bag by her feet. She carried the bag with one hand and wrapped an arm around Su Hang, then walked out of the hospital together.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Shen Xi helped open the passenger door for Su Hang first. Su Hang was a little bewildered, seemingly unable to adapt to this sudden role reversal.

"Get in the car." Shen Xi urged.

"Oh." Su Hang obediently entered the car with a stupid expression, feeling weirdly satisfied as he watched Shen Xi busy herself.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Xi sat on the driver's seat and was about to start the car, but then she noticed that the man next to her was staring. His eyes looked a little conflicted.

"If I had known that getting hospitalized would get me such good treatment, I would've gone to the hospital the day after our wedding."

"Hm. But instead, a certain someone went on a business trip." Shen Xi raised a brow.

"I was wrong." Su Hang had once thought that he was being considerate, but he now understood that he acted like a total idiot.

Seeing him seriously confessing to his mistake, Shen Xi couldn't help but smile. She raised a finger and hooked it, signaling him to come closer. Once Su Hang was near, Shen Xi kissed his lips without warning. Then, she looked up to look at his astonished eyes and said: "When I asked you to bow down, were you expecting a kiss?"

"I..." Su Hang blinked, and his ears were turning red. He stammered: "I...just now, I didn't react on time. Can you..do that one more time?"

Shen Xi chuckled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him again. This time, Su Hang reacted and kissed back. After kissing his wife for more than ten minutes, Shen Xi had to wait a while as her legs had become too soft to properly drive.

So when they finally arrived at the Shen family home, it was half an hour later than scheduled.

Before getting off the car, Shen Xi looked at her slightly swollen lips at the rearview mirror. She couldn't help but complain: "How am I going to explain this to my parents, ah?"
　　
Su Hang could only let himself get scolded. This was the first time his wife was being so enthusiastic, ah. How could he hold back.
　
The day of Su Hang's discharge happened to coincide with New Year's eve. Shen Xi and Su Hang had previously agreed to stay at the Shen family home during the New Year's holiday because on the one hand, they could spend the spring festival with their parents and on the other hand, there would be attendants who could take care of them while Su Hang recuperated.
　
Because there was a huge New Year's eve dinner planned for tonight, lunch was relatively simpler. After lunch, Shen Xi initially wanted Su Hang to take a nap, but Su Hang told her that he had laid in bed for days at the hospital and wasn't feeling all that sleepy. So Shen Xi decided to take Su Hang on a tour around the villa.
　　
"That swing was specially made by my dad when I was a child. It's been there for more than 20 years." Shen Xi took Su Hang to the courtyard and pointed towards the swing she often played when she was young. "When the swing was built, I pestered my dad to push me every day. I wouldn't allow anyone else to do it. At the time, I often made my dad late for work. Most of his morning meetings would even be delayed for more than an hour because of me. My mom still teases me about it from time to time."
　　
Su Hang imagined a young four or five-year-old Shen Xi, wearing a princess skirt and smiling happily as she sat on the swing. Su Hang felt his heart immediately melt.
