Chapter 338: Revisiting an Old Place with One More Person

~8 min read 1,532 words

In reality, Shi Youxuan also felt a bit of regret, but she wouldn't show it as obviously as Sheng Hanyu did, and besides, the child was happy!

She was no longer that quirky little woman from before; Shi Youxuan was now Shi Ran's mother, a mother.

To a mother, if the child is happy, she is happy.

Shi Ran was happy, so very happy.

The little one was like a wild horse back on the prairie the moment she arrived at Disney, completely letting herself go!

Shi Youxuan wished she could tie a rope to her waist and lead her around.

Running here one moment and there the next, not resting for even a second—no one could handle it.

The first one unable to handle it was Sheng Hanyu.

Even though the weather wasn't hot, sweat began to break out on his forehead.

And as soon as he wiped it away, another layer would appear.

Shi Youxuan finally managed to catch Shi Ran and whispered a few words in her ear.

The little girl immediately acted as if she were a different person, very quiet and demure.

She even took the initiative to go over and hold Sheng Hanyu's hand: "Uncle, I'll hold your hand, let's walk slowly."

Sheng Hanyu felt grateful in his heart, but chided Shi Youxuan with his mouth: "What did you say to the child? Let her have fun, I'm fine."

Shi Youxuan: "I said you're old, and told her to take care of the elderly."

Sheng Hanyu:...

At noon, the three of them ate lunch at a restaurant.

The only thing that comforted him was that the lunch hadn't changed much.

Only the price had changed; the food was the same as it had been many years ago.

Shi Youxuan was a bit indignant and threw the Mickey rice ball she had taken a bite of onto the table: "Still this unpalatable, it really hasn't improved at all."

Sheng Hanyu immediately handed over a pizza: "Eat this, this was the good one back then."

Shi Ran caught the implication: "Mom, Uncle, have you two been here before?"

She glared at Sheng Hanyu, annoyed that he had a loose tongue.

He pretended not to see it; the child's question had hit the mark.

"That's right, your mom and I came here before; you weren't even born yet."

"Oh!"

The little one nodded like a little adult: "I was in L Country then, hadn't come back yet."

Uh...

Something didn't seem right.

Sheng Hanyu had intended to lead the conversation, but how did it get so off track?

He couldn't keep chatting; if they kept talking, they would end up discussing "Daddy" Zhu Yiwen.

"Ranran, eat more. There are even more fun places this afternoon, and fireworks tonight. Don't you love watching fireworks the most..." The subject was successfully changed.

The fireworks in the evening truly made Shi Ran incredibly happy, just like when Shi Youxuan first came here.

However, back then it was two people, and now it was three.

Sheng Hanyu felt very happy now.

The big one and the little one were excitedly cheering in the crowd, jumping up and down while watching the fireworks.

He just watched this mother and daughter dotingly; the people were more beautiful than the fireworks!

The family of three played at Disney for three full days, and that night, the room welcomed an uninvited guest—Wang Bingbing!

"Is there something you need, Miss Wang?" Sheng Hanyu stood at the door, not intending to open it to invite her in.

Wang Bingbing smiled charmingly, her smile carrying a hint of grievance: "Our film crew is also staying here. I heard Mr. Sheng is also staying at this hotel, so I came up to say hello. Don't you intend to invite me in?"

A beauty, and a big star at that, taking the initiative to make such a request—any other man probably wouldn't refuse.

But Sheng Hanyu refused: "I do not. Miss Wang is quite busy, so I won't waste your time." After saying that, he "clanged" the door shut, nearly hitting her nose.

Wang Bingbing's face turned pale with anger.

She had never been rejected by a man like this before.

Countless business tycoons scrambled to curry favor with her, offering piles of money just to win a smile from her, yet she remained unmoved.

She had taken the initiative to approach Sheng Hanyu because Wang Bingbing had taken a fancy to him!

From the moment they brushed past each other in A Country, she had fallen in love with Sheng Hanyu at first sight.

How could this man be so handsome? He was not a bit inferior to the male lead in her film crew.

The key was that he wasn't just handsome; the aura Sheng Hanyu exuded from head to toe also deeply attracted Wang Bingbing.

At that moment, she was certain that this man was the only one who could be a match for her!

It was just a pity that while she fell for Sheng Hanyu at first sight, Sheng Hanyu hadn't even glanced at her.

He had walked past her without looking sideways, not even noticing that a great beauty was staring at him longingly.

Wang Bingbing quickly found out that the man from earlier was from Jiangzhou, a famous business genius in Jiangzhou, a true elite, and a diamond bachelor.

All his conditions met Wang Bingbing's criteria for a spouse. Since Sheng Hanyu hadn't noticed her, she decided to take the initiative.

She was used to being wined and dined, but this time she took the initiative to host a dinner party. She had people from the A Country Ministry of Commerce come forward, using the name of the Ministry of Commerce to invite Sheng Hanyu to attend.

If it were anyone else, wouldn't they have come happily?

But Sheng Hanyu didn't come; he refused.

The harder something is to obtain, the more it makes one's heart itch.

This saying applies equally to both men and women; from then on, Sheng Hanyu was rooted in her heart, and she could never forget him!

It was just that work was busy, so Wang Bingbing had never found the time to go look for him, though she had always kept an eye on his news.

Knowing he had left A Country for L Country, Wang Bingbing intended to go to L Country once this work ended, but before she could go, Sheng Hanyu had already returned to Jiangzhou.

So she planned to go to Jiangzhou to have a "chance encounter" with him.

The plan hadn't even started yet when they met at the airport.

It was just that there was an adult and a child beside him!

Wang Bingbing didn't take Shi Youxuan seriously at all; although that woman was quite pretty, how could a woman with a child compete with her?

She was simply no match.

However...

Now Wang Bingbing realized she seemed to have been wrong; she needed to re-evaluate her opponent.

Sheng Hanyu not inviting her into the room just now must be because that woman was also there!

Were they living together?

Wang Bingbing went back and immediately had someone investigate, and soon the investigation materials were placed in front of her.

A cold, sinister smile flashed across her harmless-looking face as she muttered to herself, "I was wondering what kind of big shot she was; turns out she's just Zhu Yiwen's cast-off wife."

"A fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, let alone you were never a phoenix to begin with, so stop fighting me for a man; Sheng Hanyu is mine, and he can only be mine!"

Shi Youxuan knew nothing about Sheng Hanyu refusing Wang Bingbing at the door.

This was their last night at Disney, and they were leaving tomorrow, so there were quite a few things that needed to be packed.

It was mainly souvenirs and such to take back as gifts for people.

But Sheng Hanyu said it was too much trouble to carry them, so he found a courier service to ship them back; it was almost time for the courier to pick up the items, and she was busy packing.

Hearing the door open and close, Shi Youxuan called out, "Is that the courier?"

Sheng Hanyu replied, "No, it's the floor attendant asking if we need cleaning service."

So she believed him.

Early the next morning, Sheng Hanyu had the floor attendant deliver a meal to the room and urged them to eat quickly so they could set off immediately.

Shi Ran was picked up while rubbing her sleepy eyes to get dressed, wash up, and have her hair braided; she was still sleepy when she sat at the dining table.

She sat there pouting and complaining, "Uncle didn't keep his word; he said yesterday he'd let me sleep in today, but he still woke me up so early."

The mother and daughter had the same expression and were equally unhappy.

Sheng Hanyu could not speak directly to Shi Youxuan.

Sheng Hanyu knew how bad her morning grumpiness was, so at this time, it was best not to provoke her if he could avoid it.
