Chapter 1279: An Age-Gap Romance, They're a Generation Apart!

Shi Youxuan objected and retorted to her husband: "What does it matter if the age gap is large? I am also younger than you, why don't you mention that? Don't always have a mouth to talk about others, but no mouth to talk about yourself."

Sheng Hanyu:...

He explained: "I am only a few years older than you, but there is a twenty-year gap between them."

Shi Youxuan: "So what if there is a twenty-year gap? Love doesn't distinguish by age. As long as they like each other, they have the right to pursue it. Others should stop meddling."

In most situations, Jian Yining would stand on the same side as Shi Youxuan, which would anger Sheng Hanyu and also cause him to be quite jealous.

But today, he broke precedent and spoke in favor of Sheng Hanyu: "Hanyu Ge is right. Xuanxuan, you are looking at things too idealistically. How can you not take age into account?"

"A Yong is currently in his prime, so the problem isn't obvious for now, but twenty years later, A Yong will be over sixty and an old man. By then, Liu Min will only be forty. If she takes good care of herself like you do, she will still be as young as a little girl, and she will despise A Yong then."

"And with such a large age difference, their living habits will be different... Xuanxuan, it's not that I want to lecture you, but you aren't a young girl anymore, why are your thoughts still as naive as a little girl's?"

Before Shi Youxuan could say anything, Sheng Hanyu wouldn't have it. He pulled his wife over and retorted to his brother: "What's wrong with being naive? I spoil her, do you have an opinion?"

People of such an age showing off their affection, shameful!

Jian Yining gave them the middle finger.

Seeing the topic drifting further and further away, Yun Zhe Hao reminded them: "What did we come here for? Let's talk about business."

And so, they talked about business.

His son was almost beaten to death by Qi Heng, and Yun Zhe Hao could not swallow this insult; he would pay any price to make Qi Heng taste some bitterness.

Just condemning and protesting was too easy on him, and the Yun Family would not be so easily dismissed.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Yun Zhe Hao's eyes; he wanted to go abroad to hire a hitman to assassinate Qi Heng.

Wang Yong: "Good idea. Although I haven't been in the underworld for many years, finding a hitman is not a difficult thing..."

But this idea was opposed by everyone, because the risk was too great!

First, they are businessmen. Although businessmen might use some small schemes when doing business, they do not do illegal or criminal things.

As long as you do it once, your life will be stained forever. Even if you are fine for the moment or luckily get away with it, sooner or later, the day will come when the secret is exposed.

One cannot rely on luck for such things.

If it becomes a handle, one will be blackmailed for a lifetime, with endless future troubles.

One cannot do things that feel good for a moment but leave one regretting it so much that their intestines turn green afterward.

Yun Zhe Hao calmed down and thought about it carefully; it was indeed the truth.

Everyone was right to oppose it; illegal things cannot be done, but playing by the rules simply cannot do anything to Qi Heng. Does he have to swallow this humiliating insult?

Shi Youxuan smiled and reminded him: "You, you need to look at things from a longer-term perspective. You've been doing business for so many years, your brain needs to be flexible..."

The few men stared at her in unison. When it comes to a flexible brain, no one has more devious ideas than her.

Jian Yining gestured to kick her and said with dissatisfaction: "Stop keeping us in suspense, tell us what idea you have?" In reality, he didn't actually kick her.

But Sheng Hanyu wouldn't have it; even gesturing was not allowed. He wouldn't even let anyone touch a single finger of his wife.

"A Ning, stand up," he said very calmly.

Jian Yining didn't understand why, thinking there was something wrong with where he was sitting, so he stood up and looked back.

He asked while looking: "What's wrong?"

"You tell me what's wrong?"

"Bang!"

Sheng Hanyu flew into a kick, landing it solidly on his butt.

And with a cold glare, he said: "Daring to gesture at my wife, are you tired of living?"

Jian Yining:...

Forget it, don't lower yourself to his level; mainly because he couldn't beat him.

Shi Youxuan finally stopped keeping them in suspense and said the answer with a smile: "We are businessmen and cannot go into the underworld, but my aunt is not; she can."

Everyone froze in place for a second, and a mysterious smile appeared on every face.

That's right, how could they forget Ji Yingjie?

As long as she is around, she can do whatever she wants.

She is the kind of woman who could poke a hole in the sky and then still want to measure the size of the hole.

At Shi Ran's house.

When the couple woke up, it was already dark.

If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't eaten all day, the two would have continued to be lovey-dovey.

Yun Qitian put on his clothes, preparing to leave the bedroom.

Shi Ran called out to him coquettishly: "Husband, where are you going?"

He said to his wife with reluctance: "I'm going to cook, you rest for a while, I'll bring it in when it's done."

"No, I'm going with you."

She said as she got up to put on her clothes.

Yun Qitian felt bad for her being "exhausted" all day and advised: "Don't go, there are cooking fumes in the kitchen, it's not good for your skin."

"No, I want to follow you, not be separated for even a step."

"Alright, let's go together."

"Let's go together."

It was only going to the kitchen, yet they still had to hold hands.

Yun Qitian was busy in front of the stove, not needing her help, so she just wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, her cheek pressed against his back, feeling very secure.

The happiest thing in the world is not how much you gain, but losing something that was originally yours, and then finding it again.

Shi Ran was in exactly this mood now; lost and found, happy beyond description.

She held him, and the speed at which he cooked slowed down unconsciously.

It didn't matter; being a little slower was fine, for love is enough to sustain one, let alone just being a little slow.

Two bowls of fragrant Tomato Chicken Noodle Soup were placed on the table, and she acted spoiled: "Feed me!"

"Alright."

A chopstick-full of noodles was lifted, and just as he was about to feed it into her mouth, the doorbell rang.

"Ding-dong—"

"Who is so blind? Don't pay attention to it, let's pretend we aren't home," Yun Qitian said.

He kept his word; saying he wouldn't pay attention meant he wouldn't, and he continued to feed his wife.

Shi Ran swallowed the noodles, but the doorbell continued to ring relentlessly, as if it would keep ringing forever if they didn't open the door.

"Go open the door, don't let Mom make a wasted trip," she said softly.

The couple thought the same thing, both assuming the person ringing the doorbell was Ma Ling'er, because no one else would come to their home without an appointment for no reason.

"Alright."

Yun Qitian was not very willing, but he still got up to open the door.

"Why is it you?"

Standing outside the door was not Ma Ling'er, but Liu Min.

Liu Min's complexion was haggard, and she looked a bit embarrassed: "I'm sorry to disturb you, if I weren't truly at my wit's end, I wouldn't have come over..."

At this moment, Shi Ran also noticed that Liu Min had arrived and hurriedly said: "Come in quickly, don't stand outside to talk, come in."

She came in, her eyes swollen like peaches.

"You've been crying, did Uncle Wang bully you?"

She nodded, then shook her head.

"What happened? Tell me quickly, don't keep me anxious."

Liu Min: "Ranran, can you take me to the place where my father died? I want to pay my respects to him!"

Shi Ran:...

She did not agree immediately.

The reason Liu Quan was killed by Qi Heng back then was mainly because of her.

How was she supposed to tell Liu Min, to say your father came to Jiangzhou to kidnap me, and Qi Heng killed him to save me?
