Chapter 262: Compensating You with a Diamond Mine

These were the premium items left after Wang Yong objected and everyone helped to select them.

If it were up to Sheng Hanyu's ideas, I'm afraid the prepared gifts would fill the entire room!

But these were not the point; the point was the small password-protected box he took out at the end. The box was very exquisite, and the password was Shi Ran's birthday.

He placed the box in front of Shi Ran and told her that it contained all the letters Alisha had written to her, telling her to read them slowly.

Shi Ran hugged the box. When Sheng Hanyu saw her off, he was actually very reluctant, but no matter how reluctant he was, they had to part ways now.

Parting now was for the sake of meeting again sooner next time!

When the young woman saw them come out, she reached out and tapped Shi Youxuan on the neck again. The first thing Shi Youxuan saw after waking up was her daughter hopping and skipping beside Sheng Hanyu, chatting and laughing.

"Xiaozhu, come here quickly."

Shi Ran came over, not noticing at all that Mommy was angry, and showed off with a smile: "Mommy, Auntie will come back to life. She wrote me so, so many letters, and there are so many gifts. I can't move them all; let the people outside come in and move them."

"I'll go call them in." The woman took the opportunity to run out, so as not to have to bear Shi Youxuan's anger once she reacted.

A Qing and the others came in and, as instructed, sent all the gifts to the car.

Fortunately, the car was very spacious; even with so many things loaded, there was still room to sit.

At the courtyard entrance.

Shi Ran and Sheng Hanyu said their reluctant goodbyes: "Goodbye, Uncle. When you have time, come to my house as a guest."

Sheng Hanyu wore a smile and readily agreed: "Okay, I definitely will."

"Thick-skinned, who wants you to come?" Shi Youxuan muttered.

The little girl had sharp ears. Although Mommy spoke very softly, she still heard it: "Mommy, he is the guest I invited; you cannot do impolite things."

It was just short of saying she couldn't refuse.

"Hmph!"

Shi Youxuan ignored the little girl and only urged her after getting into the car herself: "Xiaozhu, get in the car quickly, we are getting ready to go home, Daddy is still waiting for you at home..."

She mentioned Zhu Yiwen on purpose to irritate Sheng Hanyu.

"Goodbye, Uncle, you must come, pinky swear!"

"Pinky swear."

A large hand pulled a small hand, pinky fingers hooked together: "Pinky swear, one hundred years no changing, whoever changes is a little puppy."

Shi Ran finally got into the car, and even as the car started moving, she kept looking back and waving goodbye.

"Alright! Stop looking!"

Shi Youxuan was almost angered to death by her.

She had completely forgotten her original intention—as long as the child is happy and joyful, anything goes!

Now the child was happy; her little mouth hadn't closed since getting in the car, and she kept babbling non-stop about "how Uncle is," "Uncle is Auntie's own brother," "Mommy, can you let Uncle come to our house..."

"No!"

Shi Youxuan roared.

She was about to be driven crazy by the child.

"Why are you being so fierce to Xiaozhu? Did Xiaozhu do something wrong?" The little one blinked her innocent big eyes and stared at her, and in an instant, Shi Youxuan's full-blown anger vanished.

She pulled her daughter into her arms and kissed her forehead: "Baby, promise Mommy you will never leave Mommy, okay?"

"Mm."

The little girl nodded heavily.

"I will never leave Mommy. Mommy is the person who treats me best in the world, I love Mommy the most." No need to say anything more.

This one sentence was enough.

Arriving home.

As soon as the little one got out of the car, she was hopping and skipping, very lively. She personally directed the servants to move her gifts back to her room, and then closed the door, not letting anyone in.

Shi Youxuan was both happy and worried.

What she was happy about was that her once lively and cheerful daughter had returned; what she was worried about was that all of her daughter's changes were related to Sheng Hanyu!

"Madam, the Head of the Family is waiting for you in your room."

"Got it."

Shi Youxuan returned to her room, feeling very strange.

The two of them never went to each other's rooms; if there were matters, they would go to the Study to talk. Why did he suddenly run to her room?

The room door was not closed, and Zhu Yiwen was standing by the window with his back to her, looking out.

"Something up?" Shi Youxuan asked.

He turned his head: "Can't I come and sit for a while if there's nothing up? Don't forget, we are husband and wife."

Shi Youxuan was vigilant.

She was just about to say stop the nonsense, say what you have to say and don't try to get close.

Then she discovered her room had been tampered with!

"You searched me?"

Shi Youxuan was angry and went to the table to open a few drawers at random; there were indeed traces of them having been touched.

She turned back and argued with Zhu Yiwen: "Are you sick? On what grounds did you search my room? Did I provoke you?"

Zhu Yiwen sat in a chair, his tone indifferent: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't fear a knock at the door. You haven't done anything, so what is there to feel guilty about?"

"I feel guilty?"

Shi Youxuan pointed at her own nose, angered to laughter by this person's bizarre logic.

But it was a cold laugh; she said word by word: "I am angry, not guilty."

"I am angry because you simply do not know how to respect others!"

"Don't you always like to use the contract to make your point? Very well, there is a clause in the contract that forbids entering the other party's room without permission, and even more so, rummaging through the other party's belongings. You stipulated this yourself, and you surely haven't forgotten how the violator should be punished."

Zhu Yiwen had indeed forgotten, but after being reminded by Shi Youxuan, he remembered it immediately.

Originally, this rule was actually set for Shi Youxuan; Zhu Yiwen was not interested in women, but he still needed a woman to keep up appearances, so he chose Shi Youxuan to be his wife in name.

But he was also afraid that Shi Youxuan would develop feelings for him over time.

In the past, he didn't know how many women had tried to crawl into his bed, and every one of them was disgustedly thrown out by Zhu Yiwen; he didn't want his nominal wife to do the same, so he set such a rule to restrain her.

It just wouldn't look right to write it for only one person, so he wrote in the clause that "both parties" must not violate it, and the punishment for violation was also very heavy: the person who violated the rule would leave the mansion.

Leaving the mansion was equivalent to being kicked out of the house.

Zhu Yiwen had never thought that he would violate this rule himself. Now that it was brought up by Shi Youxuan, his old face flushed red, and he gave a sheepish laugh: "The punishment set back then was too heavy..."

"Whether it's heavy or not, I don't care." Shi Youxuan was relentless: "In any case, once a rule is set, it must be strictly enforced. If an exception is made for you, how will you manage your employees outside and your servants at home in the future if this gets out?"

As long as she didn't say anything, how could it possibly get out?

Anyway, since her pigtail was in Shi Youxuan's hands, she would definitely hold onto it firmly.

Zhu Yiwen's face flushed even redder, but not from anger.

He suddenly felt that this woman in his house was very interesting, and why hadn't he discovered she was so interesting before?

Zhu Yiwen said: "Do you want to kick me out?"

Shi Youxuan was speechless, only then realizing the unreasonable part of the contract.

This was Zhu Yiwen's mansion, and an ancestral one at that; there was no way he would be the one to leave.

She said: "According to the contract, that is the case, but I am not that greedy and don't want to occupy your ancestral mansion. We can change the punishment; change it to letting me take Xiaozhu and leave."

After going around in a big circle, she still wanted to leave.

Zhu Yiwen's face darkened: "No."

He was willing to transfer the Diamond Mine into Shi Youxuan's name as compensation, but at the same time, he also wanted to void this contract; they were husband and wife, and husband and wife should not be so clearly divided.

"You are really generous."

Shi Youxuan rolled her eyes.
