Chapter 1327: If You Can't Afford to Offend, Run Away

The daughter-in-law's attitude is better than the son's.

The expression on Ma Ling'er's face also softened quite a bit.

She took her daughter-in-law's hand and said earnestly, "Ranran, we are both women; you can tell Mom the truth, there's no need to be embarrassed..."

For the next ten minutes, every single question involved the couple's private life.

She felt there was nothing to it, because one should not hide illnesses from a doctor, and Ma Ling'er herself was a doctor... although not an obstetrician/gynecologist, she felt her daughter-in-law could be completely open and honest with her.

The actual situation was—what you think you think is not what you think.

Shi Ran was dying of embarrassment; she wanted nothing more than to avoid discussing such a private topic with her mother-in-law.

But her mother-in-law kept holding her hand, and she couldn't very well struggle to break free.

If it were her own mother talking like this, she would have retorted without hesitation, but the person beside her was her mother-in-law!

Although she also called her Mom, there was still a layer of distance after all.

Ma Ling'er was not very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's attitude either, because she hadn't received any interaction; it was all just her talking to herself.

"Ranran, did you remember what I said?"

"Ah? Ah, I remembered."

Shi Ran nodded haphazardly and said, "Mom, it's getting late, let me see you out."

Was this a hint for her to leave?

"No need, I'll go myself, you two get some rest early."

When she mentioned rest, her voice was noticeably emphasized.

The "rest" the mother-in-law spoke of was still different from ordinary "rest."

The mother-in-law left.

Shi Ran dragged her husband out of the Study, twisted his ear, and gritted her teeth: "You went too far, why did you run? Do you know how I was interrogated by your mom just now..."

"I was wrong, wifey, I was wrong... I was scared stiff by Father-in-law, it was an instinct to run, I'm sorry..."

Yun Qitian's attitude toward admitting his mistake was good.

The next morning.

Half an hour before the couple's usual wake-up time, Yun Zhehao called his son's phone, telling him not to go to work today and to go to the hospital for a detailed check-up.

Then the voice on the phone switched to his mother's, urging her son to go with Ranran, saying whoever had the problem should get it treated, and if both had issues, they should get treated together; if neither had problems, she would help find a doctor and switch to another hospital to continue the check-up.

Yun Qitian silently turned off the phone and powered it down.

And he also turned off his wife's phone.

The Chairman of Dingsheng received two resignation letters in his inbox!

They were from the President and the Vice President, respectively.

The two highest-ranking executives of Dingsheng resigning en masse, and leaving without even saying goodbye, made Sheng Hanyu very annoyed.

He didn't want to go to work either.

His little daughter was pink and tender, and very cute.

What was important was that she was very dependent on him; she would only sleep soundly in her father's arms, and would cry the moment she was put down!

He wanted to accompany his wife through her postpartum recovery and watch the child, but now he had to go to work early and resume his duties.

Shi Ran and Yun Qitian had "disappeared."

The two left without saying goodbye, and neither side of the parents knew where they had gone.

However, the two would occasionally pop up in the Clan group chat to say a few words to report they were safe!

Telling their family they were doing well and not to worry.

But they wouldn't say exactly where they were or what they were doing.

The topic of urging them to have children was even more off-limits; as soon as a single word was mentioned, they would immediately go offline and then stay silent for a long time.

Shi Youxuan was discharged from the hospital.

She returned home.

The little daughter was named Sheng Yue; Yue was a type of divine pearl from ancient legends, and as the youngest daughter of the Sheng Family, she was cherished like the apple of their eye, hence the name Sheng Yue.

The youngest child always received different treatment.

Unlike the other children of the Sheng Family, although Sheng Yue also had a nanny and a maternity matron, she did not live with the nanny; her small crib was placed in her parents' room.

This child was also delicate, unlike her older brother and sister.

When the other children of the Sheng Family were born, they would just eat and sleep, sleep and eat, like little Xiaozhu.

But Sheng Yue was not like that; she could only fall asleep in her father's arms or by her mother's side.

If she left her father and mother, she would immediately cry and fuss, the kind that could not be coaxed no matter what.

Thus, her small crib entered the parents' bedroom in a grand manner.

Fortunately, the older brothers were all grown up, and no one was jealous because of this!

As soon as he arrived home, Sheng Hanyu dived into the Study and didn't come out for a long time.

"Is Baobao asleep?"

He leaned gently toward his daughter and kissed her smooth little face.

"What did you go do? Just now Yueyue kept looking for you with her eyes, and it was so hard to get her to sleep," Shi Youxuan said.

Actually, she hadn't even said the full extent; it was more than just looking for him with her eyes.

Yueyue's little mouth kept babbling, as if she wanted to talk.

The child who spoke earliest in the Sheng Family was Zichen, who could call "Mom" at four months old.

Back then, everyone thought this child would surely be a prodigy when she grew up; no one expected that instead of a prodigy, she would have the potential to be a cook.

The little daughter was not even a month old, so of course she couldn't talk, but perhaps she really was looking for her father; the little girl's favorite person was her father, and as long as he held her, she wouldn't cry or fuss.

Shi Youxuan coaxed her for a long time, and the little girl finally fell asleep after she was full and satisfied.

The daughter had just fallen asleep, and just as she was preparing to rest for a while, her husband returned.

"Look, I went to write this."

"What is it?"

Shi Youxuan only took one look before she was so angry she put it down.

"Why on earth are you writing a will? Are you sick in the head?"

Although Shi Youxuan was not very superstitious, Sheng Hanyu was not very old, and the two had just had a daughter; writing a will at this time still made people feel it was bad luck.

"Don't be angry, take a good look; if you aren't satisfied, I will revise it."

Although her husband had acted abruptly in this matter, he was not an impulsive or willful person; he must have had a reason for doing this.

So she picked it up to read, heh.

Even if there was a reason, the reason was bizarre enough.

Sheng Hanyu was giving half of all the family's assets to Sheng Yue, who hadn't even been born for a full month!

The reason was: they had a daughter late in life, and by the time Yueyue grew up, he would be old; he feared he might not be able to protect Yueyue completely, so giving her more money and assets to rely on would make him feel more at ease in the future.

The remaining half of the assets was to be divided equally among the other five children.

Although Litian was not their biological child, he was treated the same as their own.

Shi Youxuan stared at her husband, not speaking for a long time, just staring.

"You don't agree? But..."

Sheng Hanyu took a deep look at his little daughter sleeping soundly in the small bed, his eyes full of deep reluctance.

He was afraid his little daughter would be wronged after growing up; just thinking about the possibility made him very sad.

"If you are really doing this for her own good, then don't make this thing."

Shi Youxuan withdrew her gaze, and with a few quick swipes, she rendered all of her husband's hard work from the afternoon completely futile.

"Why did you tear it up?"

Sheng Hanyu said: "I only took it to show you; I wouldn't let anyone else see it, and the children certainly wouldn't know. A will is something to be announced only after I pass away, and by then, the boys in the family will have grown up."

"Our sons have been raised very well by you, and Ranran is even more promising; no matter where she goes, she won't go wrong. They won't care about how much money we divide among them."
