Chapter 123: Dating for a Three-Month Term

~9 min read 1,602 words

"Eat, it'll get cold if you don't eat it now."

Sheng Hanyu had an idea in his mind and prepared to wait until she finished her meal to speak.

Shi Youxuan had just said a great deal, and having vented most of the resentment in her heart, she finally felt hungry.

Soon the food was swept clean by her, and people tend to get sleepy once full, so she issued an order to leave: "It's getting late, you go, I'm getting ready to sleep."

After speaking, Shi Youxuan went to the bathroom to wash up; when she came out from her shower, she discovered that Sheng Hanyu actually hadn't left, but was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book.

"Why haven't you left yet?" She had come out wearing a bathrobe, so she pulled the collar inward to close it.

Sheng Hanyu put down the book: "I said I had something to tell you, did you forget?" She remembered that he had indeed said such words, but she had truly forgotten.

"Speak, then leave once you're done."

She yawned, then lazily leaned into the sofa, feeling drowsy.

Sheng Hanyu said: "Let's try dating, a three-month dating period; if you still want to divorce after three months, I agree."

"What? Say that again."

Shi Youxuan widened her eyes, instantly alert; her sleepiness was chased away entirely by this one sentence of his.

She said divorce because the two of them didn't come together because of love, so such a marriage shouldn't count.

Moreover, the bride price given by the old man back then had long since been returned to Sheng Hanyu by Shi Yucheng; now, divorcing to return freedom to both of them made sense in theory.

But what did Sheng Hanyu mean by suddenly proposing to date?

She didn't understand.

Sheng Hanyu said it again: "A three-month term; if you still want to divorce after three months, I agree."

"Fine." Shi Youxuan also agreed.

Three months is three months; she had never dated before, it should be fun.

"During this period, we must eat and live together like lovers; when we are not together, both sides have the right to demand that the other party not lose contact, and must be able to find the other party at any time and know what the other party is doing and who they are with." Sheng Hanyu proposed specific rules again.

Shi Youxuan was right just now; he was still thinking of Jian Yixin while in this marriage, which was unfair to her!

"Can do, no problem."

Shi Youxuan's thinking was very simple; anyway, she was currently under house arrest by Sheng Hanyu, and these rules restricted not just her but also Sheng Hanyu, so she could be relatively freer.

Seeing her agree, Sheng Hanyu went to the bathroom to shower...

"Hey, don't you have your own room? Why do you have to shower in my room?" Shi Youxuan blocked him to protest, not letting him use the bathroom.

The belt of her bathrobe was a bit loose, and the distance between the two was a bit too close; Sheng Hanyu felt embarrassed to look inside, so he turned his head to the side: "Your bathrobe belt is loose."

Shi Youxuan looked down, and sure enough, it was truly loose; the belt was slack and the scenery inside the bathrobe was in full view.

She immediately blushed with shame, wrapped the bathrobe tight, and then "Slap!" slapped Sheng Hanyu across the face: "Pervert, where are you looking?"

Sheng Hanyu's eyes blazed with fire, and he turned back to glare at her: "Shi Youxuan, are you being reasonable or not? Can I not see when you're this close to me? I'm not blind."

She immediately thought of the time he was "blind," which was also in this room, when her own bath towel fell off...

Shi Youxuan's face turned even redder, red like a boiled crab!

She was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, yet helpless.

"Move aside."

The man pushed her aside and went straight into the bathroom; soon, the sound of "swish-swish" water echoed inside.

She was so angry that she punched and kicked the air, and only then did the fire in her heart finally dissipate a little.

"Hey, bring me my underwear." Sheng Hanyu ordered.

Shi Youxuan didn't move: "Why should I?"

"Just because our agreement stipulates it this way; if you want to break the rules, that's fine, then don't even think about a divorce." Sheng Hanyu said unhurriedly.

She remembered there was a clause: eat and live together, and only then did she realize she had been tricked.

Originally, her understanding of "eat and live together" was just being in the same Villa, she hadn't thought it meant the same room.

Is it too late to go back on it now?

She felt the terms needed to be reformulated; it couldn't be that whatever Sheng Hanyu said went, but reformulating them would have to wait until he came out.

So she temporarily compromised: "Wait," she said through gritted teeth.

Shi Youxuan opened the door and discovered the bodyguard guarding the door was gone; even if she ran out now, it should be no problem, but if she ran, she wouldn't be able to get the divorce, so it didn't seem to have much meaning.

She went to Sheng Hanyu's room, took the underwear from the closet, and then returned to the bedroom to place it at the door: "I've put it at the door, take it in yourself."

Sheng Hanyu came out from inside dressed neatly, wiping his wet hair with a towel.

Shi Youxuan had just finished typing the last line and printed it out to hand to him: "I've redrafted the terms, take a look and sign if there's no problem; what you said is unreasonable."

He didn't even look at it, tearing it into pieces with a "swish-swish" and throwing it into the trash can: "Do as I say."

After speaking, he got into bed to sleep.

Although Shi Youxuan was used to his overbearing manner, she was still furious at the sight and jumped in front of Sheng Hanyu to argue: "Why must I do as you say? Whatever you say goes, are you the sun?"

Sheng Hanyu moved just a little, and she immediately jumped further away.

The aftereffects of the forced kiss hadn't passed yet, and now there were only the two of them; if Sheng Hanyu wanted to do something, she really had no way to stop him.

Fortunately, she was overthinking; Sheng Hanyu wasn't that sleazy, he just turned over, and soon emitted a light snoring sound!

Shi Youxuan really wanted to pull him up and beat him; how could this man be like this!

Gradually the anger faded, but how to sleep became a problem.

There was only one bed in the room; although it was big enough, sleeping in the same bed was also strange.

She thought about going to the guest room to sleep, but then remembered that "eat and live together" phrase, so she didn't dare to go!

She couldn't leave him any leverage; what if she went to the guest room and Sheng Hanyu said she was knowingly violating the rules because she didn't want to divorce him?

Later, she hugged a teddy bear doll and hid in the closet, closing the door and falling asleep soon after.

The next morning.

She woke up from her sleep, stretching lazily in a daze; apart from her neck being a bit sore, everything else felt fine.

The bed was very soft and very large...

Something was wrong.

Shi Youxuan suddenly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the ceiling.

Taking another look at herself lying on the bed, she clearly remembered sleeping in the wardrobe yesterday, so how did she end up in bed?

She sat up and lifted the quilt, and seeing that her clothes were still on properly, Shi Youxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no need to guess that it was Sheng Hanyu who had carried her out of the wardrobe, yet she hadn't felt a thing; it was all because her sleep quality was too good.

Sheng Hanyu was not in the room, and she didn't know when he had gotten up; since she was awake and couldn't fall back asleep, Shi Youxuan got out of bed to change her clothes and wash up.

After washing up, she walked out of the room and heard voices outside that sounded very familiar.

Reaching the top of the stairs, she saw the person in the living room; their eyes met, and Wang Yingzhi immediately stopped playing the victim, her eyes nearly popping out in shock!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, she was overjoyed and ran toward the stairs: "You've returned? Thank heavens, I've finally found you. Hey, don't go, Mother has something to say to you..."

Shi Youxuan turned around, returned to the bedroom, "bang" shut the door, and locked it.

It was truly a case of enemies crossing paths; she never would have imagined seeing Wang Yingzhi early in the morning.

In fact, Wang Yingzhi had arrived before dawn.

Sheng Hanyu had people arrange for them to stay at the best hotel in Jiangzhou, and then rented an Apartment with good conditions in every respect for the two of them to live in.

Sheng Jiang was quite satisfied; the Apartment was fully equipped, and with no one bullying them, the two of them lived there quite well.

But Wang Yingzhi was not satisfied.
