Chapter 1073: 716: Four Years

Su Xiaomeng casually asked, without any hint of caring about the outcome."Death penalty."

"It’s inconvenient for me..."

"How is it inconvenient? Aren’t you getting more and more skilled at sitting in that wheelchair, even crossing thresholds effortlessly."

Su Xiaomeng teased.

"..."

Yin Shixiu stared at her intently.

Su Xiaomeng glanced at him, shrugged, and walked away, muttering,

"As if I’m afraid of you... go pour it yourself."

Yin Shixiu watched his wife wobble away, feeling deeply concerned. This little girl was becoming increasingly indifferent towards him.

Yin Shiqing, the tumor that grew in their hearts, was removed much more calmly than they imagined.

Both he and Su Xiaomeng had not expected.

When it was time for the court trial of Yin Shiqing, neither he nor Su Xiaomeng had any desire to witness it.

It was not necessary to witness his despair firsthand...

Because even knowing he was sentenced to death, neither he nor Su Xiaomeng felt any satisfaction.

He deserved it, but their children... became the sacrifice, never to return.

The snow fell all night, stopped for half the day, and now faint flakes were drifting again.

Year after year...

Four years had passed since he met Xiao Meng.

Tomorrow was the day of the Yin Family’s ancestral rites, the snow was heavy on the mountain, and while it stopped for a while, cars were driving up one after another.

The area around the Yin Family’s villa was packed with private cars.

The elders of the Yin Family arrived one after the other...

Su Xiaomeng was busy entertaining with Yin Shihua and Yin Shilan...

The extended Yin Family had welcomed many new members, and as they climbed up the mountain, the cries of children grew louder.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were no longer the youngest.

After busily getting everyone settled, she looked up, and the clock on the wall showed the hour hand pointing to ten.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang had long snuggled into Yin Shixiu’s bed, sleeping soundly.

When Xiaomeng returned to the room, the bedside lamp was still on, and Yin Shixiu still held a book, his fingers relaxed, his eyes closed in the faint light...

The lamp was warm, but outside, it continued to snow.

Xiaomeng walked to the bedside, tucking the kicked-off quilt back over Shuangshuang and Huang Huang.

She reached out to take the book from Yin Shixiu’s hand...

Only to see his relaxed fingers suddenly close, grasping her hand and pulling her into his embrace.

Su Xiaomeng nearly cried out in surprise, her frightened eyes meeting Yin Shixiu’s smiling eyes...

She glared at him, pouting,

"What are you doing, scaring me?"

Yin Shixiu held her waist, his face very close, whispering,

"Where did you go?"

"... Aunt Shaoqun’s place."

"Why did you go to Aunt Shaoqun’s place?"

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were lying beside them, so Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng kept their voices deliberately low to avoid waking the siblings.

With that question, Su Xiaomeng glanced at the still-sleeping Huang Huang...

Yin Shixiu caught her look,

"What’s wrong?"

Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shixiu and murmured,

"Aunt Shaoqun wants to teach Prince Huang piano."

"..."

Having Yin Shaoqun, a renowned international pianist, teach a three-year-old to play piano would be an impressive waste of talent.

But from the perspective of the child’s parents, it was certainly a stroke of good fortune.

"Isn’t that great? Aunt had already said she wanted to teach Huang Huang piano before?"

"She wants to keep Huang Huang by her side..."

"..."
