Chapter 354: Always Some Villains Wanting to Harm Me

Shi Ran was starting school tomorrow, so the two of them took the child to the mall to buy a new schoolbag and some stationery, then had a big meal at noon to celebrate!

Because she had to go to school the next day, the evening plans were moved up—the movie for the evening was changed to the afternoon.

Today is Sunday, and the movie theater is full of parents bringing their children to watch movies.

Most were accompanied by both mom and dad; Shi Ran lowered her head, feeling a bit sad.

Sheng Hanyu asked her, "Ranran, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Shi Ran asked him to crouch down and whispered something in his ear.

Sheng Hanyu looked troubled; although he really wanted to, he didn't dare agree: "You have to ask Mom about this question. If Mom agrees, I would be very willing."

Shi Youxuan felt a faint sense of unease and asked guardedly, "What are you two up to?"

So the little girl also asked her mom to bend down and whispered in her ear: "Mom, I want to call Uncle 'Dad' in public, is that okay?"

Shi Youxuan's heart skipped a beat.

She apologized to the child in her heart, but still refused without hesitation: "Sorry baby, no!"

But she also proposed a solution, and Shi Youxuan lowered her voice: "If you really feel it's awkward to call him Uncle, you can call me Auntie too."

That way, both of them would pretend not to be Shi Ran's parents, and it wouldn't be awkward.

Shi Ran:...

"Mom, Uncle, let's go pick a movie."

A chance for Sheng Hanyu to potentially "become official" was perfectly neutralized by Shi Youxuan!

At the place where the movie theater displayed posters, Wang Bingbing's movie was prominently featured in the most eye-catching spot.

Sheng Hanyu frowned: "Why hasn't her movie been pulled from theaters yet?"

After Wang Bingbing apologized last time, her popularity plummeted; the production crew at the time also terminated her contract and suspended filming to prepare to replace the lead actress!

She couldn't stay in Jiangzhou and left that very day; no one knew where she went, and both Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan were too lazy to inquire about her whereabouts.

If he hadn't seen her promotional poster at the movie theater, Sheng Hanyu would have forgotten about this person entirely.

The way Shi Ran frowned looked just like Sheng Hanyu. The little one looked at Wang Bingbing on the poster, no longer with a look of admiration: "I don't want to watch her movie. She sows discord between me and Mom and Uncle."

"Right, let's watch a cartoon," Shi Youxuan chimed in.

Sheng Hanyu: "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be back soon."

While the mother and daughter discussed which cartoon to watch, Sheng Hanyu went to the restroom, took out his phone, and dialed a number: "Why can I still see Wang Bingbing's movie trailer at the movie theater?"

The person on the other end said in a mournful voice: "Mr. Sheng, that movie was filmed a while ago. Although she is the lead actress, others have also put in a lot of hard work and money. If this movie cannot be screened, the losses will be too great..."

"Pull it immediately. I'll cover the losses. Send the itemized statistics to the company's finance department later." Sheng Hanyu's voice betrayed no anger, but in reality, he was already very furious.

Did Wang Bingbing think that just because she dared to provoke that mother and daughter, a simple apology would be the end of it?

It wasn't that cheap.

"Yo, that would be great, it's just that I'm putting you to expense, I'm really sorry..." The movie producer smiled until his eyes curved.

Wang Bingbing's reputation and popularity had hit rock bottom; this movie wouldn't even be able to recoup its costs!

They had been thinking of selling whatever tickets they could, which is why they bit the bullet and kept it in theaters.

Box office returns were very poor and it was about to be pulled anyway. At this moment, Sheng Hanyu called, and the producer was nothing but happy.

As Sheng Hanyu came out of the restroom, he saw the movie theater staff hurriedly changing posters and simultaneously updating the schedule; Wang Bingbing's movie was replaced by another film!

Shi Youxuan had already bought the tickets.

The movie was *Boonie Bears: The Loving Bear Family*.

Watching a movie with Sheng Hanyu, and watching one about a loving family—even with the word "Bears" in front of it, Shi Youxuan still felt awkward.

But Shi Ran insisted on watching it, so Shi Youxuan had to go along with her.

After buying the tickets, they saw the staff changing the posters.

"Right, it should be changed. Who watches her movies anymore!" someone passing by said.

That poster had been up for several days; they hadn't changed it sooner or later, so why did they change it just during the time Sheng Hanyu went to the restroom?

Shi Youxuan sensed something was wrong and glanced at him.

Sheng Hanyu looked at the ceiling, avoiding her gaze.

After the movie ended, Sheng Hanyu dropped the mother and daughter off at their door but didn't go in, only saying: "I'll come to pick up Ranran tomorrow morning." Then he left, as if he had something very important to do.

The next morning.

Sheng Hanyu appeared at the door, bringing them breakfast as usual.

Today's breakfast was chicken soup with dragon beard noodles, fried eggs, fried bacon, and two cold side dishes.

Shi Youxuan picked up a chopstick full of noodles, then looked at him deeply!

Sheng Hanyu had the same expression as yesterday at the movie theater, avoiding her gaze and looking up at the ceiling.

"Hmph!" Shi Youxuan snorted through her nose.

When he usually sent porridge and soup, she hadn't noticed anything.

Those things were kept in insulated containers and wouldn't get cold for hours!

But the noodles, fried eggs, and bacon were still in a "freshly cooked" state when they arrived. How did he manage that?

Sheng Hanyu's Villa was more than an hour's drive away from here. Shi Youxuan had intentionally bought a place this far away precisely because she wanted to stay far from him.

Looking at it now, he must be living in this residential area too!

Time was tight in the morning, so Shi Youxuan didn't settle the score with him.

The child didn't care about any of that; she only knew that the food Uncle made was better than what Mommy made, and if there was something delicious, she wouldn't eat the bad-tasting stuff.

"Uncle, can you bring me breakfast every day from now on?" Shi Ran pushed her luck.

Sheng Hanyu was only too happy to oblige: "Of course you can. From now on, I will bring you breakfast every morning, then take you to school, pick you up after school, and come back to cook dinner for you. You can just eat at school for lunch, how about that?"

"Okay."

"Okay what, okay?"

Shi Youxuan poured cold water on the two of them: "You two are having quite a lively discussion, but did you get my permission?"

"Mr. Sheng, you are busy with a thousand things every day; how could I have the nerve to let you do the work of a nanny in our home? You should go back to whatever you are busy with. I will take Ranran in a moment, so there is no need to trouble yourself, and there is no need for you to worry about dinner or our family's breakfast in the future either."

"I will go find a nanny as soon as Ranran goes to school."

Shi Ran: "I don't want a nanny, I just want Uncle."

Shi Youxuan: "Enough nonsense, hurry up and finish your meal and go to school. It is not your place to interrupt when it comes to our family's affairs."

Sheng Hanyu: "Xuanxuan, you must be very careful about finding a nanny. You see how terrifying it is when you find a bad nanny in the news; it's equivalent to inviting a wolf into the house..."

Shi Youxuan: "Shut up, you are an outsider and have no business interfering in my family's affairs."

Consequently, under Shi Youxuan's high pressure, the two of them were full of dissatisfaction but could not say a word.

After breakfast, Shi Ran changed into her new uniform, put on her new schoolbag, and prepared to go to school, saying goodbye to Shi Youxuan: "Goodbye, Mommy."

"You said goodbye too early, I am taking you." Shi Youxuan picked up her coat and car keys from the sofa.

Shi Ran: "Mommy, you don't need to take me, Uncle can take me."

Shi Youxuan: "Uncle has to go to work, you shouldn't always trouble him."

The two of them were just winking at each other earlier; they must have been plotting how to deal with her, and Shi Youxuan would not give them a chance to perfect their plan!
