Chapter 241: Living in the Same Room

And the deadly part was that Shi Youxuan discovered it, and even acted interested: "Oh, Alisha, you use a computer too, and it's the latest model..."

As she spoke, the laptop was already in her hands, being flipped over and examined!

Sheng Hanyu rushed over in a flash, snatched the laptop away, hugged it tightly to his chest, and shook his head.

"I won't open it, look how nervous you are; it's privacy, I understand."

Shi Youxuan was understanding and didn't pry, which made Sheng Hanyu breathe a sigh of relief, but then she proposed a new request: "Alisha, what's your Twitter handle? I'll follow you."

He shook his head.

"You don't have one?"

Shi Youxuan became even more curious: "No Twitter? What do you usually do when you use the computer? Play games? Read the news?"

L Country is different from Jiangzhou.

The internet coverage here is very low; the vast majority of ordinary people don't use smartphones, or even mobile phones at all—communication basically relies on shouting!

Most people who can use a laptop have a relatively high social status or have relevant work connections.

But clearly, Alisha is neither of those.

Her status is not low now, but that is also because of Shi Youxuan.

Shi Youxuan is so smart that even if she isn't suspicious now, it won't be long before she discovers something is wrong.

Alisha just shook her head.

Shi Youxuan's confusion grew even greater: "If you don't use it for anything, why did you buy it... Oh, did someone give it to you?"

An answer dropped from the sky, and Sheng Hanyu hurriedly caught it—he nodded in agreement.

Then, before Shi Youxuan could ask who gave it to her, he pointed outside and made a gesture of flying away.

Thus, Shi Youxuan "understood": Jian Yining gave it to her.

Originally, she had come to Alisha's room just to ask her about Jian Yining.

Now that she saw he had even given a gift, there was no need to ask.

She curled up on Sheng Hanyu's bed, grabbed his quilt to cover herself, and only then remembered to ask for permission: "Alisha, I'm sleeping here tonight, is that okay?"

Is it okay?

It's more than okay.

Sheng Hanyu nodded frantically to show his agreement.

A moment later, he ran into the washroom and came out to spray perfume all over the bed and floor.

Shi Youxuan was touched: "Don't spray anymore, your room is quite clean, there's no strange odor."

His room was indeed quite clean, but spraying perfume was still very necessary.

Sheng Hanyu was afraid that Shi Youxuan would smell his original scent and guess his identity.

After finishing the perfume, he gingerly got into bed, also covered himself with the quilt, and lay down beside Shi Youxuan!

It was pure bliss.

Sheng Hanyu was so happy he was about to faint; his heart was pounding rapidly, as if it were about to jump out of his chest.

But Shi Youxuan didn't know any of this.

For some reason, she felt at peace the moment she walked into this room, not as flustered as she was in her own room.

Alisha's bed was also very comfortable; Shi Youxuan found a more comfortable position, half-leaning against the bed, ready to whisper with Alisha.

"Alisha, do you like Jian Yining?"

He shook his head; he truly didn't like him, as no one would like their own romantic rival.

"Since you don't like him, why did you accept the computer when he gave it to you?"

Originally, Sheng Hanyu had thought about "pinning" the laptop on Jian Yining, thinking that neither Jian Yining nor Shi Youxuan would confront each other over such a small thing, and he could muddle through.

He hadn't expected that he wouldn't be able to muddle through so quickly.

He shook his head and waved his hands, explaining that she had misunderstood just now.

His laptop wasn't a gift from Jian Yining; it was a gift from her "deceased" husband.

The gesture of flying away could also be interpreted as something else; Shi Youxuan hurriedly apologized, indicating she had misunderstood earlier.

Since it was a misunderstanding and the computer wasn't from Jian Yining, she had to ask about the incident where Jian Yining "touched" Alisha's face.

Shi Youxuan asked: "The driver and the bodyguard both said A Ning harassed you; did that happen?"

He lowered his head and didn't respond for a long time.

It was actually quite a dilemma; if he admitted it, this bucket of dirty water would be dumped on Jian Yining, and it would be confirmed.

Xuanxuan might distance herself from Jian Yining because of this, which would be all benefit and no harm to him!

If he didn't admit it, he would be the one in trouble.

But his conscience would be at peace; he hadn't done anything shameful in half a lifetime, so was he really going to betray his brother and his conscience just because of love?

Although Jian Yining was a romantic rival, in Sheng Hanyu's heart, he had always been a brother.

He was caught in a dilemma.

"Why don't you dare to say it?" Shi Youxuan encouraged her: "It's okay, tell me the truth, I won't be angry, I just want to know the real situation at the time..."

So Alisha shook her head, indicating that Jian Yining hadn't harassed her.

"He didn't?"

Shi Youxuan sat up abruptly and said indignantly: "Fine, the driver lied. I never thought someone as honest as him would lie to deceive me; it must have been instructed by Zhu Yiwen, he made him do it..."

After saying this, she threw off the quilt and got out of bed, intending to go settle the score with him.

Alisha grabbed her, shaking her head and waving her hands to stop her from going.

Then he analyzed the severity of the situation for her: the driver was the Head of the Family's man, and although she was the Madam, punishing the Head of the Family's man was also a slap in the face to the Head of the Family.

Furthermore, it wasn't just the driver who witnessed it; many bodyguards had seen it too, and they could all testify.

Public opinion can melt metal and destroy reputations.

So many people saw it; if she punishes the driver again, she fears the others will not be convinced.

Moreover, Jian Yining has already left, so it would be better to handle this matter quietly at home; if no one mentions it again, it will slowly pass.

It would be better for her to apologize to Jian Yining later and tell him she believes he was wronged. Alisha told Shi Youxuan: Jian Xiansheng does not care what others think or how they feel; what he cares about is what you think.

As long as you can restore his innocence, others can be completely ignored.

After analyzing it this way, Shi Youxuan was no longer impulsive.

But she was even more confused: "You say A Ning did not harass you, and he says the same, so why do the driver and bodyguards say something different? Tell me exactly what happened at that time."

Even if she does not pursue responsibility, she still needs to know the truth.

Sheng Hanyu told her that he wanted to get mineral water for Jian Yining but accidentally spilled it all over him, and then Jian Yining got very angry and scolded him a few times.

He scolded him for being thick-skinned, for clearly being a servant yet acting like the master...

Shi Youxuan believed his words without a doubt, and in her heart, she even blamed Jian Yining a little for making a mountain out of a molehill.

It was just such a small matter, what was there that couldn't be explained clearly?

He insisted on being evasive and not explaining it clearly, only swearing that he did not like Alisha.

If he doesn't like her, then he doesn't like her; it's fine that he left.

Once his anger subsides, a phone call to clear things up will be enough.

Shi Youxuan put down the burden in her heart and fell asleep without realizing it.

Sheng Hanyu lay by her side, staring at her without even blinking.

The woman he loved was sleeping right beside him; although he could do nothing, just being at this distance was enough for him to feel happy.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto Shi Youxuan's face, and she lazily stretched and woke up.

A dreamless night, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

But as soon as she woke up, she heard the housekeeper loudly scolding the servants outside; the voice was too loud and very noisy.

And she actually hadn't been woken up by it, but had slept until she naturally woke up.

Shi Youxuan discovered that her sleep quality had clearly improved recently; when did it start?

It seemed that ever since Alisha moved into the Villa, her insomnia had become lighter and lighter.

Alisha pushed the door open and came in from outside, holding a glass of hot milk in his hand.

He handed it to her and gestured for her to drink it while it was hot.

Shi Youxuan did not take it, but stared at him with wide eyes, making him feel uneasy.

He asked with gestures: What's wrong? Is there a problem?
