Chapter 181: Cracks in the Marriage

~8 min read 1,544 words

Shi Youxuan's voice was not quiet, and Sheng Hanyu, knowing he was in the wrong, held her back to keep her from leaving, also telling her to lower her voice so as not to be heard by people outside.

At this moment, Sheng Hanyu was not worried about whether she was angry, but rather worried about being heard by people outside; in his heart, did he still have this wife of his?

"Move!" She glared at him in anger.

Sheng Hanyu insisted: "I won't. Xuanxuan, listen to my explanation; don't be unreasonable."

Shi Youxuan was about to be angered to death by him; he brought Jian Yixin home without a word, and now it had actually become her being unreasonable?

"Sheng Hanyu, you jerk." She raised the teddy bear doll and smashed it onto Sheng Hanyu's head.

He did not dodge, letting her vent the anger in her heart.

Suddenly the door opened, and Jian Yixin rushed in and hugged him: "Don't hit Hanyu, Auntie, please don't hit Hanyu; if you want to hit someone, just hit me instead..."

Auntie?

Shi Youxuan had a mouthful of old blood stuck in her throat, and she almost spat it out!

"Yixin, why did you come in? It's okay, don't be afraid, it's okay!" Sheng Hanyu reached back and pulled her into his embrace, comforting her softly: "She is not an auntie, nor is she a bad person; we were just playing around, don't be afraid."

Jian Yixin trembled like chaff in his arms, hugging Sheng Hanyu's waist tightly, murmuring incessantly in a low voice: "Auntie, if you want to hit someone, hit me; don't hit Hanyu, don't hit Hanyu..."

Auntie?

This was treating her as an elder, but it was a pity she couldn't give birth to a son that old. Shi Youxuan wanted to mock her a few times, but her gaze collided with the look Sheng Hanyu gave Jian Yixin!

The look he gave Jian Yixin was full of tenderness.

Shi Youxuan's heart was about to break; was there any need to say anything now?

Was there anything left to explain?

"Get lost, a good dog doesn't block the path!"

She used the teddy bear doll to smash him again... but halfway through raising it, she decided against it.

"Move."

"Housekeeper, housekeeper." Sheng Hanyu did not give way, and even called the housekeeper over, instructing him: "Watch the Eldest Young Mistress; don't let her leave." After saying this, he hugged Jian Yixin and went out.

"Sheng Hanyu, you jerk."

Shi Youxuan was extremely angry, and the Zai Zai in her hand was thrown out again; it didn't hit anyone but hit the door instead.

She couldn't get out; being watched by the people the housekeeper sent, she couldn't take a single step out of the bedroom.

"Clatter, bang."

Shi Youxuan smashed everything in the bedroom that could be smashed. She had never been this angry before; this time it was mainly because Sheng Hanyu had gone too far.

The bedroom was in a mess, and Sheng Hanyu returned.

"Xuanxuan, I know that what happened this time was my fault, and you are right to be angry, but Yixin has lost her memory. She is a patient now, and I cannot abandon her."

"Lost her memory?"

Shi Youxuan raised her head; this was something she hadn't expected.

But even if she lost her memory, she had parents and a younger brother, so it shouldn't be his turn to bring her home to take care of, right?

"Xuanxuan, will you listen to me?" Sheng Hanyu raised his right hand to swear: "The past between Yixin and me is over. Now you are my wife, and the person I love is you, but Yixin is a patient now, and she only recognizes me; I really cannot bring myself to abandon her."

Shi Youxuan stared at him fixedly: "How long is she going to live in our house?"

Sheng Hanyu told her: "Tomorrow I will go find the best doctor to treat her and arrange for Jian Yixin to be hospitalized, then she won't be living here anymore. Living here is only for one day; can't you endure it for one day?"

Shi Youxuan's anger dissipated a little: "Is it really just one day? You and her won't rekindle your old flame, will you?"

"It really is just one day, it won't be rekindled."

Sheng Hanyu answered very firmly: "The matter between Yixin and me has been turned over. The person I love now is you, only you, not anyone else. Can you have a little more confidence in yourself?"

"Yixin is a patient now, and her emotions are very unstable, so please be tolerant of her. After today passes, when she is hospitalized tomorrow, it doesn't matter how you want to settle scores with me; I will accept any kind of punishment."

Shi Youxuan's anger dissipated by more than half.

Just as she was about to speak, Jian Yixin's slightly panicked voice suddenly came from outside: "Where is Hanyu? Where are you? Come over and keep me company, I'm scared..."

He looked at Shi Youxuan with pleading eyes; although he didn't speak, he very much wanted to go over.

Shi Youxuan didn't want him to go, but then she thought about how Jian Yixin was a patient now, and she felt she couldn't bear it, eventually softening her heart: "You go over, don't stay for too long."

"Okay."

Sheng Hanyu pulled her into his arms and pressed a kiss to her forehead: "Thank you, wife, I'll be right back."

He said he would "be right back," but after he left, there was no movement for over an hour.

Shi Youxuan wanted to go over and check several times, but she controlled herself.

She wanted to call Jian Yining to ask, but she estimated that Jian Yining didn't know Jian Yixin had returned.

If he knew, he should have come over long ago; even if he hadn't come in person, a phone call should have come long ago, but now there was nothing!

Jian Yixin returned; could it be that the Jian Family didn't know, and he had brought her home on his own authority?

If that were the case, that wouldn't be very good.

Then he should have told Jian Yining; he should have!

Having made up her mind, Shi Youxuan dialed the number, but hesitated after it connected.

"Hello, Yingzi, speak? You called and then didn't make a sound, what the hell are you doing?" Jian Yining said.

She swallowed her saliva, and instead of asking directly, she said tactfully: "A Ning, congratulations!"

"Pfft—"

The person on the other end laughed, his voice cheerful: "What am I being congratulated for? You aren't trying to introduce a girlfriend to me, are you? I don't have high requirements, as long as one condition is met: her personality must be the same as yours, I'm not picky about anything else." He said his true feelings in a half-true, half-joking tone.

Shi Youxuan asked: "Your sister is back, you don't know?"

"Hahahaha..."

Jian Yining laughed very heartily, and only after he had laughed enough did he say: "Yingzi, you really know how to joke. Where is my sister back to? Don't tell me she didn't go home and went to your place instead."

Shi Youxuan swallowed her saliva: "That's right, she is at my house."

Jian Yining: "Stop messing around, this joke isn't funny at all."

Shi Youxuan: "A Ning, I swear on Sheng Hanyu's life, I'm really not joking with you. She is indeed at my house; Sheng Hanyu brought her back. It seems she has lost her memory..."

"I'm coming over right now." Jian Yining became serious.

Hanging up the phone, Shi Youxuan felt a bit uneasy, not knowing if making this call was the right thing to do or not.

Logically, she should have told him, but since Sheng Hanyu didn't say anything, he must have had his reasons; what would he think if she made the decision on her own?

Shi Youxuan did not know.

At a normal speed, the drive from the Jian Family to here should take forty minutes.

But in less than half an hour, the three members of the Jian Family arrived.

Lady Jian was very agitated; as soon as she entered the main gate, she shouted: "Yixin, Yixin, my daughter, where are you?"

Sheng Hanyu went out to meet them, frowned with displeasure upon seeing the Jian Family, and asked Lady Jian to keep her voice down, saying that Jian Yixin was already asleep.

"Hanyu, where is she? I want to go see her. I won't make any noise, just one look will do!" Lady Jian lowered her voice, but she was still very agitated.

Since Jian Yixin's parents and brother had come to the door, there was no reason not to let them see her, so Sheng Hanyu pointed to the guest room: "She is inside. Keep your voices down; she has lost her memory and might not remember you."

"Okay."

The family of three walked into the room on tiptoe, and as Sheng Hanyu turned his head, he happened to see Shi Youxuan coming out of the bedroom, frowning again with displeasure: "Did you call them to come here?"
