Chapter 184

"You are not allowed to leave," Sheng Hanyu said.

She continued to ask: "I am asking you whether you love me or her. Please give me a clear answer. What is this supposed to be? You brought someone back without a word, and you won't even let her go when her parents come to pick her up."

"Sheng Hanyu, do you take me for a fool? Don't tell me you don't have any love left for her at all."

Sheng Hanyu was about to speak when the housekeeper knocked on the door: "Eldest Young Master, the Jian Family's Mr. and Mrs. have arrived and wish to see you."

"Come with me, so I don't have to tell you a second time." He grabbed Shi Youxuan's hand.

The two went downstairs together. The Jian family of three had all come. Upon seeing Sheng Hanyu, Lady Jian and her husband first asked where their daughter was.

Where had he found her?

Lady Jian wiped away her tears and said she never expected her daughter to still be alive. Now that her daughter had been found, she could close her eyes in peace even if she died right now.

Only Jian Yining noticed that Shi Youxuan's complexion was poor and asked her: "Yingzi, why do you look so pale?"

"It's nothing, I didn't rest well."

She said something casual to gloss over it; she couldn't exactly say it was because his sister had angered her so much that she couldn't eat or sleep.

Sheng Hanyu told everyone that after Sheng Yukai said Jian Yixin wasn't dead that day, he had gone to the police station several times to ask about the situation from back then.

Sheng Yukai revealed a secret that had been hidden for five years.

Five years ago, Jian Yixin had been rescued by Sheng Yukai. After rescuing her, he discovered her face had been ruined by the fire and lost interest, so he sent her to a small clinic for treatment and stopped caring.

By the time he remembered and went back to look for her, she had already left the clinic, and he didn't know where she had gone.

At that time, both the Jian family and Sheng Laoyezi had started looking for Jian Yixin. He didn't dare say that she had been carried out by him and then lost, and he was eager to completely sever ties with Jian Yixin, so he said nothing.

But later, the cause of the fire was still investigated by Sheng Hanyu. Even though he was blind, he remained relentless and wouldn't let Sheng Yukai go. Sheng Yukai was even less likely to tell him that Jian Yixin was alive; he just wouldn't tell him, wanting to watch him be heartbroken and devastated.

But Sheng Hanyu did not become devastated, and he even created the Dingsheng Group right under his nose, which was something Sheng Yukai hadn't expected.

That day at the Sheng Family Mansion, Sheng Yukai knew he had no chance of a comeback, which was why he finally revealed that Jian Yixin was alive.

Sheng Hanyu found that clinic from back then and followed the clues to investigate bit by bit, discovering that Jian Yixin had been taken away by her aunt back then.

When he was investigating Jian Yixin's whereabouts, he was detected by the other party. Jian Yixin's aunt took the initiative to contact Sheng Hanyu, saying she would send Jian Yixin back, but not to tell anyone.

Jian Yixin's injured face and the skin on her body had undergone constant plastic surgery and skin grafts over these years, and she had recovered to her original appearance, but her aunt told him that Jian Yixin had lost her memory.

Although she had lost her memory, she remembered him; she didn't remember anyone else except him!

Lady Jian glared hatefully at her husband beside her: "It's all your fault. Back then you said it didn't matter if we lived together or if she was adopted. Look, our daughter was snatched away for five years, and we actually thought she was dead..."

Lady Jian cried as she spoke, and her husband, being in the wrong, did not argue.

The Jian family of three cleared up the sequence of events and all demanded to take Jian Yixin back. Their family ran hospitals, so finding doctors to treat her would certainly be much more convenient than keeping her at Sheng Hanyu's place.

Sheng Hanyu looked troubled: "I'm afraid that won't do!"

"Why won't it do?"

Jian Yining said with mild anger: "Don't forget, you are a married man now. Sheng Hanyu, I warn you not to have one foot in two boats. You cannot hurt either Yingzi or my sister."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Sheng Hanyu explained: "It's not that. It's that when I brought Yixin back, the condition your aunt set was that she could not return to your home, otherwise she would immediately take her away."

"That is preposterous."

Lady Jian was very agitated: "My daughter was stolen by her, and I haven't even settled the score with her yet, and she's setting conditions for us? She doesn't get to decide this. I must take Yixin away. If she complains to you, tell her to come find me."

The Jian family wanted to take their daughter back, and Sheng Hanyu was not very willing: "It is only right that you take Yixin back, but she doesn't recognize you at all. I'm afraid what happened last night might happen again."

Jian Yixin was scared out of her wits yesterday; what if something like that happened again?

Lady Jian insisted on taking her away. For the sake of her daughter's reputation, she couldn't let her daughter stay at Sheng Hanyu's place no matter what; it wouldn't sound good if it got out.

Sheng Hanyu was already married, but her daughter had never been married.

She had already suffered so much; she could not afford any more mishaps regarding her reputation.

Jian Yixin was unwilling to leave, but under her parents' insistence, she followed them. As she left, she looked at Sheng Hanyu with sorrow: "Hanyu, you will come to see me tomorrow, right?"

"I will."

The Jian family had all left, but Shi Youxuan's expression was not good: "You are going to see her tomorrow?"

"Yes. In the future, I will treat her as a younger sister. She is my relative, and you are my beloved."

"Really?"

Shi Youxuan tilted her head to look at him. The phrase "she is a relative, you are my beloved" made her feel quite comfortable, but she was still worried about Jian Yixin.

Would Jian Yixin think the same way?

Clearly, she would not.

If it were anyone else, Shi Youxuan wouldn't be worried at all, but she was Jian Yixin—the woman Sheng Hanyu had once loved deeply and had been unable to let go of for many years.

Sheng Hanyu saw all her worries. He gently scraped the bridge of her nose: "Little fool, my heart isn't big; it can only hold one woman."

He grabbed her hand and placed it over his heart: "There is only one person here now. She is in my eyes, and she is in my heart. Do you feel it?"

"Mm."

Shi Youxuan nodded vigorously. The strong heartbeat transmitted to her palm made her feel at ease, and Sheng Hanyu's confession made her feel even more secure.

She was in his heart; she was the person at the tip of his heart.

Very happy, very proud.

She stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Sheng Hanyu's ear, and whispered: "I'm pregnant."

"What? Say that again!"

Sheng Hanyu couldn't believe his ears until Shi Youxuan repeated it: "I'm pregnant." Only then was he certain.

"I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father..." He was usually calm and steady, but this time he was so happy he couldn't close his mouth.

For many days, this was the happiest thing for him. Although Jian Yixin being alive was also good news, it was still not as important as the news of his wife's pregnancy.

The former meant a life without regrets, and it also drew a perfect period for his past life.

The latter was a new beginning, a transformation from a world for two to a family of three!

Sheng Hanyu squatted down to listen to his wife's belly—he couldn't hear anything.

Shi Youxuan proudly puffed out her still-flat belly, patted her husband's head with her hand, and teased, "My son said, you aren't allowed to bully me, and even less allowed to team up with outsiders to bully me, otherwise he'll take me far away, so you'll never be able to find the two of us."

He looked up and glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense, how do you know it's a son? My good daughter wouldn't say things like that, right, my good daughter?"

Sheng Hanyu liked daughters; he had said before that if the two of them had a child, he wanted a daughter, to dress her up like a princess and take her out—it would be a very cool thing.

Shi Youxuan hoped it was a son; it wasn't that she didn't like girls, but she still hoped for a son.

"Son," she glared at him.

"Daughter," he refused to be outdone.

Shi Youxuan put her hands on her hips: "Son, it's a son, it's definitely a son."

Sheng Hanyu urged: "You are two people now, you can't just get angry at every little thing from now on, you'll scare my daughter."

"Son."

"Daughter."

The two of them stood right at the main entrance, arguing over the gender of the fetus, as if whoever won would be the one who got to call the shots.
