Chapter 270: Except for Him, You Can Be Good with Anyone Else

~8 min read 1,569 words

Zhu Family Mansion.

Along the way, Zhu Yiwen's expression was unpleasant, and he did not say a single word; even when Shi Youxuan deliberately tried to make conversation, he did not take the bait.

Shi Youxuan knew the situation had become serious.

Zhu Yiwen was a person with deep hidden motives, and it was difficult to see emotional changes on his face unless he wanted people to see them, or when he was particularly angry.

"Follow me to the Study."

After entering the main gate, he finally spoke, but it was only this sentence.

The two of them went to the Study one after the other and closed the door.

Zhu Yiwen finally exploded: "Shi Youxuan, what is the meaning of this? You were flirting with Sheng Hanyu right in front of me; are you treating me like I'm air and don't exist?"

Originally, Shi Youxuan also felt that pinching Sheng Hanyu's face just now was wrong, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.

But for Zhu Yiwen to speak like that was too harsh; what did he mean by flirting?

She retorted: "I didn't, don't you go around making false accusations."

"I'm making false accusations?" Zhu Yiwen lost his temper like this for the first time: "Shi Youxuan, do you think I'm blind? You went to touch his face in full view of everyone. I gave you chances before and you didn't want them; you had to go and lose face for me in front of everyone, didn't you?"

"No, I pinched his face to see if he was wearing a mask. You know he lied to us for so long. Yes, I admit that what I did was inappropriate and my temper was too hasty, but I have always been like this, you know that..."

"I don't know."

Zhu Yiwen rudely interrupted her and flew into a great rage; in any case, the central idea was that she could be ambiguous with any man, just not with Sheng Hanyu!

It made Shi Youxuan so angry that her hands were trembling. She wasn't being ambiguous; she wasn't being that way with anyone, and it was even more impossible with Sheng Hanyu.

Shi Youxuan was not made of dough, and she didn't have the habit of suffering in silence. She pointed at Zhu Yiwen and said: "Zhu Yiwen, apologize to me immediately, otherwise we will break up right now."

Zhu Yiwen: "You're dreaming. Ever since Sheng Hanyu appeared, you have been acting abnormally in every way. Shi Youxuan, I'm not afraid to tell you clearly: in this life, don't even think about getting back together with Sheng Hanyu. I will not give you this opportunity."

She didn't even want to get back together with Sheng Hanyu!

For Zhu Yiwen to say that clearly meant he didn't trust her, and since there was no trust, there was really no need to be under the same roof.

She suddenly felt it was quite meaningless, and she didn't even want to argue.

She just let out a "Hmph!" from her nose, then turned and walked away. "Bang!" The Study door was slammed shut to show her dissatisfaction.

However, in Zhu Yiwen's view, this was just her feeling guilty, acting this way because her true thoughts had been poked.

A person who had always been able to hide his emotions well smashed everything in the Study that could be smashed.

Shi Youxuan returned to her room to sulk.

In the past, she and Zhu Yiwen were good partners, respecting each other, understanding each other, and living together in peace without incident.

How did he suddenly become so unreasonable?

Shi Youxuan thought about it carefully, and then reached a conclusion—it was all Sheng Hanyu's fault!

If it weren't for him coming to L Country, if it weren't for him opposing Zhu Yiwen at every turn, and if it weren't for Zhu Yiwen suffering setbacks under him several times, he wouldn't be acting so abnormally.

That's right, that's it.

After figuring it out, her anger lessened a bit, but she was still angry and really wanted to take the child and leave.

Let them fight it out, let them brawl; even if they beat each other's brains out, she wouldn't care.

Zhu Yiwen's car left the mansion and went to a property outside.

"Head of the Family, you finally came. I thought you didn't want me anymore." A tall, slender, fair-skinned, and beautiful boy looked at him resentfully, then quietly leaned over...

If it were before, the boy doing this would definitely have aroused his interest, and something indescribable would soon happen between the two.

But today was an exception.

Zhu Yiwen stood up and dodged the boy's entanglement without leaving a trace.

He didn't know why, but the image of an angry woman kept appearing in his mind—the image of Shi Youxuan.

"I'm tired. Go to the room to rest; don't disturb me."

"Bang!"

The heavy door-closing sound startled the boy, and he felt even more uneasy in his heart.

He thought he had done something wrong to make the Head of the Family angry; otherwise, why would he have no interest in him and still come here?

Zhu Yiwen, lying on the bed, didn't know what the boy was thinking outside, and he had no interest in knowing.

He only felt that there was a fire in his body with nowhere to release it, and he really wanted to have a good argument with someone, but the only person who dared to argue with him was now ignoring him!

Sheng Hanyu's office.

Wang Yong had been standing in the corner secretly observing Sheng Hanyu for an hour, and his boss had also been looking at something outside the window for an hour, smiling foolishly the whole time.

"Hehe..."

"Hehehe..."

Wang Yong felt disdain in his heart: Isn't it just that his sister-in-law pinched his face? Is it worth smiling like this?

Even if he was happy, an hour had passed, and it still wasn't over?

"Hehehe..."

It really wasn't over.

Sheng Hanyu's mind was currently filled with the image of Shi Youxuan pinching his face, peeling shrimp for him, and violently breaking open a crab.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became; the more he savored it, the sweeter it felt. How long had it been since he had smiled like this?

It had probably been five years.

Five years ago, he first knew what it was like to be happy from the heart; it was the feeling of sunlight melting ice, with warmth piercing through the chill.

This feeling was wonderful, so wonderful that he didn't want to return to reality. Now that it had finally been realized in reality, and so suddenly, Sheng Hanyu felt it was very unreal.

"Prepare a set of Zhu Family servant clothes for me," he suddenly turned his head and said to Wang Yong.

"Alright!" Wang Yong agreed.

After agreeing, he immediately felt something was wrong: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

Sheng Hanyu smiled: "Sneak into the Zhu Family in the middle of the night to see your sister-in-law."

"Ahem..."

Wang Yong almost choked on his own saliva; after finally recovering, he still couldn't believe his ears.

"Brother, say that again—what do you want to do? I didn't hear you clearly just now."

Sheng Hanyu was in a good mood, so his temper was good, and he said kindly: "Go to the Zhu Family to see your sister-in-law, you idiot."

After saying this, he went out, whistling as he walked.

Him, Wang Yong, an idiot?

Wang Yong pointed at his own nose and muttered to himself: "That's right, I'm an idiot, and an idiot can't find a Zhu Family servant's uniform."

Not only did he not let anyone go find it, but he also moved a chair and sat by his door to keep watch; he could not watch his big brother go to his death.

Sheng Hanyu had originally come out to ask if the clothes he had requested from Wang Yong were ready.

As a result, he almost tripped over the person dozing by the door.

He wondered who was so blind, coming to sleep right at his own doorstep?

When he looked again, it was none other than Wang Yong.

"Where are the clothes?" he asked.

Wang Yong played dumb: "What clothes?"

Sheng Hanyu was indeed in a good mood today; even though he knew Wang Yong was playing dumb, he didn't hold it against him and reminded him with a very good temper, explaining: "Just now I asked you to prepare a Zhu Family servant's uniform for me, did you forget? It's still not too late to go prepare it now, I'll wait."

He turned his head and was just about to return to his room when a refusal came from behind him: "I won't."

"Huh?"

"What did you say? Say it again." Now it was Sheng Hanyu's turn not to believe his ears.

Wang Yong had always carried out his requests resolutely to the end, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.

Now he wouldn't even find a set of clothes—what was he trying to do?

Wang Yong stubbornly stiffened his neck: "I said I won't do it; not only will I not find you a servant's uniform, but I also can't let you leave, and I can't watch you go take risks."
