Chapter 1159: You Are My Noble Person

Shi Youxuan had been observing her expression, and seeing her look change, she announced the end: "Alright, that's it for today, you go back and rest. It's very late and I'm sleepy too..."

Shi Youxuan yawned one after another and lazily returned to her room.

Jian Yixin was not sleepy at all; she discovered that her perception had shifted.

It was just as Shi Youxuan said, there really is a difference between theory and practice!

The next few days.

Jian Yixin was required by Shi Youxuan to grab sand at least three times a day.

These three times had to be in different time segments; she couldn't grab it three times at once, that wouldn't count.

It had to be divided into three time segments, and she even gave a suggestion: after breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's easy to remember.

Jian Yixin: "Easy your grandfather."

"Shi Youxuan, what right do you have to boss me around? I just won't listen to you, so what?"

Shi Youxuan: "You are on my turf, so of course you have to follow my rules. If you don't listen, you can move back, but I'm keeping your son."

"Be nicer to me. If your attitude is bad, I'll have your son call me Mom and make him my son, believe it or not?"

Jian Yixin was furious, but she had no way to deal with it.

This woman says what she means and does what she says; she might not be able to do serious things well, but she is self-taught in crooked ways!

Jian Yixin said indignantly: "Shi Youxuan, are you picking on me?"

Actually, she knew Shi Youxuan was doing it for her own good, but emotionally, she still couldn't turn the corner all at once.

Shi Youxuan was righteous and full of arguments: "Yes! I am picking on you, so what? I have to arrange some things for you to do, so you don't stay idle and cause trouble."

Jian Yixin...

Shi Youxuan had considered things very thoroughly, but the development of events was even smoother than imagined.

Both mother and son were staying at the Sheng Family.

Jian Yixin still wanted to take care of her son with meticulous care as she did before, but she met with her son's resentment, and he expressed it quite strongly.

Early morning.

Jian Yixin went to her son's room, wanting to help him get dressed, but ended up being pushed out of the room by her son.

"You don't need to help with such small matters, I can do it myself, and I do it very well." Zihan was there, and Zihan, who was a few years younger than him, had much better self-care skills than he did.

When there was no comparison, the feeling wasn't so obvious.

Now that the comparison was right before his eyes, he naturally felt resentment toward his mother's overly concerned actions.

"You are still young..."

She was only halfway through her sentence when she saw Shi Youxuan come over.

Shi Youxuan dragged her away: "How about you move up your sand-grabbing time? Or increase it, you still have a bit too much free time!"

Breakfast time.

Yesterday, at the first meal at the Sheng Family, Jian Yixin was still a bit restrained.

Today was the second meal, and Jian Yixin was becoming somewhat unable to hold back.

"Shi Youxuan, I want to sit with Moli."

Shi Youxuan: "How about you go grab a few more handfuls of sand?"

Jian Yixin: "... No."

"Mom, grab what sand?" Sheng Zihan asked curiously.

Shi Youxuan: "You should ask your aunt, she knows best."

Jian Yixin: "Eat, eat, don't talk while eating or sleeping."

This topic was thus brushed aside.

Since she couldn't personally take care of her son at the dining table, Jian Yixin urged: "Baobao, eat some vegetables!"

Moli frowned, lowered his head to shovel rice without a word, but the speed of his eating clearly increased!

It was very embarrassing for his mother to call him Baobao in front of so many people.

"I'm finished."

Moli put down his bowl and chopsticks, preparing to leave the table.

"Baobao..."

She had just started, but the rest of her words were blocked in her mouth by a chopstick of vegetables from Shi Youxuan.

This woman gave her a look, meaning not to let her continue speaking.

Even if she wanted to speak now, she couldn't. By the time she swallowed the vegetables in her mouth, Jian Yixin had also realized what happened.

Her son ate a little and then put his things down; the reason was her.

She was filled with annoyance and regret, blaming herself, all blaming herself for having a loose tongue.

"I'm full too."

She also put down her bowl and chopsticks, preparing to go apologize to her son and persuade him to eat some more.

Eating so little for breakfast was definitely not okay.

But she was sitting next to Shi Youxuan, so it was destined that things wouldn't go her way!

"No, you aren't full."

Shi Youxuan grabbed her arm, not letting her leave.

"What is wrong with you, woman? I'm full, why are you pulling me?" She was so anxious she was gritting her teeth.

"Finish the rice in the bowl. In our house, there is no rule of having leftovers. When you are on my turf, you have to follow my rules. I haven't told you this just once, you know." Shi Youxuan was very calm.

Jian Yixin:...

She had no appetite at all now, but she still shoveled the rice in her bowl into her mouth in a few bites.

She was finally let out, but where had Moli run off to?

He was not in the living room, nor was he in the courtyard.

She went to Moli's room to look for the child, but she could not find him there either.

Turning around, Shi Youxuan was standing straight behind her; when had she come over? There hadn't even been a sound.

"What are you doing, acting like a female ghost!"

Jian Yixin was displeased.

"Go grab sand."

"Okay."

This time she did not object and obediently went to grab sand.

Grabbing sand could help calm one's mood; it was indeed useful.

Things like this happened a few more times afterward, only the frequency became longer and longer each time.

At first, Jian Yixin still needed to be reminded, but later she didn't; she would take the initiative to go grab sand several times a day!

Then, Jian Yixin took the initiative to find Shi Youxuan: "Ze Rong and I have work, we have to go to the office, so we are planning to move back home; let Moli continue to stay at your house."

Shi Youxuan: "Have you figured things out?"

She had indeed figured things out, but Jian Yixin refused to say things nicely even when she could.

"Hmph! What is there to figure out or not figure out? You didn't cause me little trouble when your child was young; now that my son is staying at your house, eating your food and living in your home, you do the worrying and the hard work while I don't care about anything—if I still hadn't figured that out, I'd be a fool."

Jian Yixin was decisive and swift; she moved as soon as she said she would.

Very quickly, the couple left; before departing, her son saw them off, feeling a bit reluctant: "Mom, you aren't staying here? I can't bear to see you go."

She almost said, if you can't bear it, then come home with me.

But she hardened her heart and didn't say it out loud.

Jian Yixin said: "If you miss Mom, call me or send a video, but don't disturb me during work hours unless it's something very important."

Jian Yixin went home, and Moli continued to stay at the Sheng Family.

The relationship between mother and son returned to its initial harmonious and beautiful state, with a loving mother and a filial son.

However, for a normal mother-son relationship, Moli stayed at the Sheng Family for about half a year before Jian Yixin proposed taking the child back this time, and Shi Youxuan agreed.

After the Lantern Festival.

School started, and Shi Ran and Qi Heng returned to school.

Originally, the date set for the engagement was after the Spring Festival, but later Lady Qi found a master to calculate the dates, and there were no very good dates after the Spring Festival, but there were two very good dates in April of the solar calendar.

April 18th and April 28th were both very auspicious.

The engagement banquet for the two children was to be held on a grand scale, with both sides hosting, so both dates were set.

The first date would be held in L Country, and the latter date would be held in Jiangzhou.

Being busy with engagement matters was the business of the parents on both sides.

The young couple didn't need to worry about anything; they just needed to show up when the time came!

There was still over a month until the engagement, and their studies could not be delayed.

So the two returned to school for classes, and the first thing Shi Ran discovered upon arriving at school was that Liu Min had transferred departments and was now in the same class as her.
