Chapter 365: Not Returning Because of Making Breakfast

"Knock, knock."

Sheng Hanyu is back.

"Coming." She happily went to open the door, but her hand was already on the doorknob before she realized her state was wrong.

He came back, so he came back; why should she show such happiness?

So Shi Youxuan stood at the doorway, first adjusting her facial expression to make herself look as indifferent as possible, and only then did she open the door.

"Take this, hurry!"

It was indeed Sheng Hanyu at the door, but he didn't look like he had just returned from dropping off Jian Yixin, because both of his hands were occupied—his left hand held a casserole, and his right hand carried a food box.

Shi Youxuan took the casserole and glared at him: "Are you very idle? You cook every day; is there nothing else for you to do?"

Sheng Hanyu chuckled and explained carefully: "It's not that I'm particularly idle; I just want you and our daughter to eat something tasty."

Although the casserole hadn't been opened, the fragrance of seafood porridge wafted out; making porridge takes time, no wonder there was no movement until daybreak, it turned out he had gone home to cook, causing her to think all sorts of things, even thinking that the two of them were rekindling their old flame.

Shi Ran didn't need to be called; she woke up as soon as she heard Sheng Hanyu's voice.

The little girl got up to wash and brush her teeth, and then the family of three ate breakfast.

Before they finished breakfast, both of their phones started ringing one after another!

First, Sheng Zerong called Sheng Hanyu, asking him to arrive at the hotel early to help; in fact, his going wouldn't help much as everything was already arranged, but it was mainly for Sheng Hanyu to bring Shi Ran to rehearse in advance.

Shi Ran is the flower girl at today's wedding.

And there is a pair of flower children, with another little boy as well.

The host requested that the two children arrive early to practice, mainly for fear that the children are too young and will make mistakes when the time comes.

Sheng Hanyu didn't agree immediately, but instead looked at Shi Youxuan.

Taking the child away alone, without Shi Youxuan's consent, he could not make the decision himself!

She nodded—agreeing.

"Mom, aren't you coming with us?" Shi Ran asked, blinking her big eyes.

She shook her head: "Mom has other tasks today and cannot go with you; you go first."

Shi Youxuan had already promised Jian Yining that she would go to the Jian Family today to set off with them, because the Jian Family does not have many people, and she would go as a member of the bride's family to bolster their presence.

Sheng Hanyu didn't expect her to entrust the child to him so readily, and he happily promised repeatedly that he would take good care of Ranran and let her rest assured.

Shi Youxuan hurried to change the child into new clothes, braided her hair, and just after she finished dressing the child and sent her off, Jian Yining's call arrived.

He urged her to go quickly.

Shi Youxuan arrived at the Jian Family and was warmly received by the Jian Family's parents... especially Lady Jian.

There was basically nothing for Jian Yining to do; Lady Jian held her hand and asked after her well-being, being incredibly enthusiastic.

It was too enthusiastic; Shi Youxuan couldn't quite adapt.

Lady Jian held Shi Youxuan's hand: "Xuanxuan, I really like you as a child, but you and our A Ning are not fated; A Ning has a girlfriend..."

Since her son already had a girlfriend, Lady Jian no longer regarded Shi Youxuan as a potential threat, so she became enthusiastic toward her.

"A Ning has a girlfriend? When did this happen?" Shi Youxuan had never heard him mention it and was somewhat surprised.

In fact, the day Jian Yining returned, he wanted to tell her, but Sheng Hanyu was there watching like a tiger at the time, and coupled with the constant urging calls from his mother and sister, he didn't get to say it, and then he forgot.

Shi Youxuan's surprise was seen by Lady Jian as displeasure!

She then praised her son's girlfriend even more vigorously.

Even though they hadn't even met, Lady Jian praised her son's girlfriend as if she were very familiar with her.

Shi Youxuan quickly realized that Lady Jian was beating around the bush to sound a warning to her, telling her not to harbor any fantasies about her son, as A Ning already had a girlfriend.

Originally, she didn't have any such thoughts, but being treated with such disdain by someone's mother to her face still made her feel uncomfortable.

If it were anyone else, Shi Youxuan wouldn't take such insults for nothing and would definitely give her a few words back to save face.

But this person was not anyone else; it was Jian Yining's mother.

For the sake of Jian Yining, she couldn't retort at this moment.

Fortunately, Jian Yining appeared in time: "Xuanxuan, why are you still here? Come quickly, my sister has already asked for you several times."

She took the opportunity to get away, said goodbye to Lady Jian, and followed Jian Yining upstairs, taking the chance to ask: "A Ning, when did you get a girlfriend? You didn't even tell me; that's not very loyal of you."

Jian Yining laughed: "I wanted to tell you last time I went to your house, but my mother was urging me so much that I didn't get to say it."

"Why didn't you bring her back this time?"

Jian Yining told her that he didn't bring her back because the girl's work really couldn't be left behind, and next time he brings her back, he will definitely show her to her first.

Jian Yining has a girlfriend, and she is happy for him too.

As the two talked, they arrived at the bride's room; Jian Yixin had already finished her makeup, put on her wedding dress, and was sitting gracefully in her seat with a shy smile.

"Wow, bride, you are truly beautiful today; when our groom comes later, won't his eyes be glued to you?" Shi Youxuan teased.

"Go on with you, you're making fun of me now; when you get married, see if I don't get my revenge!" Jian Yixin said haughtily, threatening her.

Shi Youxuan was just about to say that she would never marry in this life, so you won't have a chance for revenge.

A burst of noise came from outside—the groom had arrived to pick up the bride!

The bridesmaids blocked the door, laughing and refusing to let him in without a red envelope.

Jian Yixin whispered to Shi Youxuan: "Xuanxuan, come quickly, come to my side and keep me company; I'm so nervous."

Shi Youxuan laughed at her for being weak, saying she was just picking up the bride and hadn't even reached the wedding ceremony yet, so what would she do during the wedding ceremony later?

She answered very naturally: "You stay with me the whole time; I can relax when I see you."

So Shi Youxuan stayed with her, and Jian Yixin grabbed her hand, her palms sweating from nervousness.

Now she didn't say things like "I don't want to marry," but instead asked Shi Youxuan over and over again if her makeup was appropriate, if it was too heavy...

Shi Youxuan told Jian Yixin that she was exceptionally beautiful now, the most beautiful woman in the world, and the makeup couldn't be more appropriate; the groom would definitely be stunned when he came in later.

The red envelope was given in full, and the teasing ended.

The door opened, and the groom entered, surrounded and ushered in by a crowd of groomsmen!

Sheng Zerong stared at Jian Yixin in a daze; he was truly mesmerized and couldn't bear to look away.

The crowd jeered, and Jian Yixin blushed with shy modesty; she looked even more beautiful blushing than with her makeup on, and under the groomsmen's reminder, Sheng Zerong knelt on one knee to hand over the bridal bouquet.

Lady Jian handed her son-in-law a bowl of noodles; this was a Jiangzhou custom, where the couple must eat a bowl of noodles cooked by the mother-in-law together when the groom comes to pick up the bride.

The noodles in the bowl must be a single strand, symbolizing that the couple's life together will be smooth and that they will be united in heart forever!

After the noodles were finished, Sheng Hanyu changed his form of address and called her Mom.

Lady Jian wiped away her tears as she answered, then handed her son-in-law a thick red envelope.

She was very happy that her daughter was getting married and had looked forward to this day for a long time, but now that it had truly arrived, she couldn't bear to see her daughter leave.

"Mom, please don't cry; I'm not marrying far away, if you can't bear to let me go, then I won't marry."

"Don't talk nonsense, what are you saying on such a joyous day?"

Lady Jian chided her daughter, but this feigned reprimand was only for her son-in-law to see.

Shi Youxuan stood to the side watching the interaction between mother and daughter, and in this moment, she envied Jian Yixin.
