Chapter 135: Going Back on One's Word

"Then it's up to you. Whatever you want is fine; I'll listen to you," Sheng Hanyu said, concise and to the point.

There were no sweet nothings, no grand vows, just a simple "I'll listen to you" that was enough.

Sheng Hanyu always kept his word; this had been deeply demonstrated throughout their interactions.

Shi Youxuan extended her little finger, wanting to hook it with his: "You must keep your word. If you don't, you're a little puppy."

"Fine." He also extended his hand to hook her little finger.

"Hooking fingers, hanging from a beam, for a hundred years, no changing!"

That night.

"Sheng Hanyu, you didn't keep your word." The woman gasped beneath him, feigning reproach.

The man gently stroked Shi Youxuan's soft hair, breathing heavily as he defended himself by her ear: "I am keeping it, I'm listening to you."

"That's not right..."

The woman's eloquence was usually effective, but it was of no use at a moment like this.

Her train of thought was constantly interrupted by wave after wave of impact; just as she wanted to retort, she felt like a small boat tossed on giant waves, and only after finally coming down could she say: "I didn't agree to this."

Just as another fierce wave of attack came, she was utterly defeated!

The man murmured softly: "I said I'd listen to you after the wedding; now, you listen to me..."

After the passion, the two lay on the bed to rest.

Shi Youxuan's tears fell in torrents; at first, they were large drops rolling down, but soon they were like beads with a broken string, flowing more and more.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you? I'm sorry."

He clumsily reached out to wipe the tears from her face, but it was useless; the more he wiped, the more there were.

He wanted to check on her, but she clutched the sheet tightly, refusing to let him look.

Sheng Hanyu had no choice, anxious to the point that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead: "Should we go to the hospital? I'll call 120."

"Don't go, you're not allowed to call 120."

Is he crazy? Calling 120 for something like this?

She would have no face to go out and see people in the future. She hurriedly lunged over to grab his hand, which was already holding the receiver, and put the phone back.

She knew her own body; her crying wasn't because she was hurt, but because she was scared!

Lunging over like that, the distance was too close and the posture too ambiguous. Sheng Hanyu was still immersed in worry and didn't notice, but Shi Youxuan realized it and immediately sprang away as if electrocuted, keeping a certain distance between them.

The movement was too swift, and the quilt used to cover her charms slipped off...

Her fair skin was covered in marks. Sheng Hanyu felt both heartache and anxiety: "Let's go to the hospital and check. I really..." He regretted it terribly now; he had only been thinking of his own pleasure just then and hadn't thought that he might hurt the little woman.

He insisted on taking Shi Youxuan to the hospital for an examination, believing she was injured. No matter how Shi Youxuan explained, it didn't work. In the end, she could only blush and let him take a look before he felt at ease.

Sheng Hanyu didn't have much experience either; such a beautiful night had actually turned into such a farce.

He felt a bit embarrassed. Instead of blaming his own lack of knowledge, he blamed Shi Youxuan: "If you aren't hurt, why are you crying?"

"Sheng Hanyu, I'm scared!"

Shi Youxuan suddenly bit down on his arm; it was very painful.

However, he didn't even frown, letting her bite two rows of tooth marks into his arm.

"Sheng Hanyu, this is a seal. From now on, you are mine." Shi Youxuan threw herself into his arms, her wet little face rubbing tears all over his chest.

"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Mistress, you've returned?" The housekeeper greeted them with pleasant surprise.

She was happy not just because the two had returned, but because there was a huge change. The Eldest Young Master's usual iceberg face was now beaming with joy, something that had never happened before.

Not even when the Eldest Young Master was dating Jian Yixin in the past.

The Eldest Young Mistress was even more beautiful, radiating a charm from the inside out—not the innocent and naive kind of a little girl, but the unique, happy aura of a woman in love!

The servants helped take the gifts off the car, and Shi Youxuan distributed them; everyone had a share.

After finishing, she picked up the largest, beautifully wrapped box and said to Sheng Hanyu: "I'm going to the Sheng Family."

"What's the rush? It won't be too late to eat something and rest after just getting off the plane." Sheng Hanyu pulled her back, feeling heartache for her.

This woman did everything in a whirlwind; her temperament was too impatient, and she didn't cherish herself enough.

"I'm not eating. I'll go to the Sheng Family to eat. I'll bet with you, my sister will definitely treat me with bird's nest, abalone, shark fin, and sea cucumber..." Sheng Hanyu wasn't stupid; he wouldn't take that bet with her.

The man shook his head, and the woman lifted his chin, provoking him: "Why don't you come with me? Save the family some rice."

Shi Youxuan's money-grubbing look left Sheng Hanyu between laughter and tears. He swatted her hand away: "I'm not going. I still prefer eating the rice at home."

"You see me off," Shi Youxuan demanded.

Sheng Hanyu's eyes were full of doting: "Alright, I'll see you off."

The young couple flirted, and although they were only going to the Sheng Family and would be back in less than half a day, they parted as if they were going to be separated for a long time.

Sheng Hanyu saw Shi Youxuan to the car. One stood outside while the other sat inside, holding hands and talking for a long while before separating.

After they parted, he didn't turn back immediately, but stood on the spot watching the car drive away until it disappeared from sight.

He suddenly felt a bit of regret.

Regret for why he didn't go with her; they had only just separated, and he was already starting to miss her!

Sheng Family Mansion.

"Madam, Young Mistress, the Young Mistress's sister is here," a servant ran in to report.

Over the past few days, the name of the Young Mistress's sister had become thunderous in the Sheng Family Mansion; there wasn't a soul who didn't know it.

Because the Young Mistress relied on her sister's influence, she had given the Madam quite a bit of trouble. Although the servant didn't understand all the complicated relationships involved, she knew Shi Youxuan was no ordinary person. She couldn't be neglected, so she reported it immediately.

"Quick, quickly invite her in here."

Bai Xue was incredibly excited and overjoyed.

In her eyes, Shi Youxuan was not just Yuke's sister, but a cash cow!

Bai Xue had been tormented by Shi Yuke quite a bit these past few days, and the only reason she had endured it was in the hopes that Shi Yuke would get in touch with Shi Youxuan.

As long as they made contact, she was confident in her ability to win Shi Youxuan over and use her for her own purposes.

She had already sent people to investigate in secret; Shi Yuke had not been good to this sister of hers in the past, and it was nothing like the deep sisterly love she had claimed. Bai Xue believed that Shi Youxuan had brought out such a large sum of gift money just to show off—to show off that she was rich!

Now that the "cash cow" had come to the house of her own accord, she naturally could not let this opportunity slip by.

The servant was just about to go out and invite the guest in when Bai Xue changed her mind: "Wait, you don't need to go invite her; your status isn't high enough, I will go myself."

Shi Youxuan was waiting outside when a whole crowd of people came rushing out from the main gate, giving her a start.

If not for the fact that their faces were full of smiles, she would have thought they were coming to pick a fight!

Bai Xue had people open the main gate and affectionately took her arm: "Chairman Shi is so young; both young and beautiful... I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you. Your sister cannot compare to you at all; the title of Jiangzhou's number one beauty should truly belong to you..."

She was a bit too eager.

Being too eager to flatter Shi Youxuan, the traces of sycophancy were too heavy, making it unnatural instead.

Shi Youxuan knew what was going on and said to Bai Xue with a beaming smile: "Auntie, you are too kind. My sister is the true number one beauty of Jiangzhou; I am still far from being able to compare to her."

"You are just being modest; your sister isn't even half as good as you..."
