Chapter 375: Unconditionally Spoiling You
Today, she truly witnessed what it means to lie without blinking, just letting it roll off the tongue.
It turns out this "skill" isn't something only she possesses; others use it just as smoothly.
Jian Yixin didn't play games with her; she told Shi Youxuan very directly that over a thousand Invitations had been sent out, and the chefs at the Prince Hotel had issued a call to arms, with chefs from all the major hotels going to assist for tomorrow's wedding banquet, which resulted in many large hotels closing for the day tomorrow.
That's not even all; what if the wedding is canceled—how will others view Sheng Hanyu?
Jian Yixin pointed out directly: "Anyway, you can stay home as a shut-in, and when this storm passes, you can come out and things will be as they were, but have you thought about Hanyu? Where is he supposed to put his face?"
No expression could be seen on Sheng Hanyu's face, and he didn't say a single word the entire time.
Yet it was this expression of his that made Shi Youxuan feel uneasy and anxious.
It would be better if he got angry; the more he is like this, the less of a good thing it is!
She nudged Sheng Hanyu: "They've said so much, what are your thoughts? Say something."
At this moment, Shi Youxuan's heart softened; she had already decided that as long as Sheng Hanyu showed even a hint of being in a difficult position, she would go through with the wedding tomorrow!
But Sheng Hanyu said: "I have no objection to canceling the wedding."
Shi Youxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But the others wouldn't have it.
The three of them opened fire in unison, reprimanding Shi Youxuan for being willful and selfish.
Sheng Hanyu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, just one sentence: "I don't want to get married either, let's just leave it at that." This left the few of them speechless.
There are only two people involved; if the bride-to-be for tomorrow backed out, everyone could still persuade her, pressure her with grand principles, and use moral kidnapping on her.
But now, the groom-to-be has backed out too!
Neither of them wants to get married, so it's useless even if everyone else is worried to death.
"Whether you get married or not, I've done the work of offending people once, and it's your freedom if you want to cancel, but you go tell the hotel and the guests yourselves; I'm done with it." Jian Yixin got up in a huff and left.
Ma Ling'er tugged on her husband's sleeve, gave him a look, and then the two of them also stood up and left "in a huff."
In fact, the three of them didn't go far.
They gathered at the end of the hallway, huddled together to peek over here, observing the movement inside.
……
Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu sat facing each other, neither saying a word for a long time.
His face was still indifferent, without any expression, and Shi Youxuan couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Sheng Hanyu could keep his cool, but Shi Youxuan could not.
The main reason she could remain silent for so long was that she was in the wrong, but after ten minutes of silence, she still took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Hanyu, um, don't you want to say something?"
Sheng Hanyu: "I don't."
Shi Youxuan: ……
Even if he didn't want to say anything, she had to force him to.
Shi Youxuan prepared to explain: "I didn't mean to stand you up, it's mainly because..."
"Mm, I understand."
Shi Youxuan: ……
She thought to herself, I haven't even started explaining yet, and you already understand?
You don't have to be so understanding; why don't you get angry and scold me to vent your frustration?
She was already feeling guilty, yet Sheng Hanyu's behavior only made her feel more guilty.
Sheng Hanyu saw through her thoughts; he squeezed a smile onto his face and comforted her: "It's okay, you don't need to feel guilty. You only agreed to hold the wedding for the sake of Ranran. Ranran is a sensible child, and she will understand you too."
Shi Youxuan felt her temples throbbing.
How could she have forgotten about Ranran?
Such an important character, and she had actually forgotten her.
Shi Ran's temper is just like hers.
If she knew the wedding was suddenly canceled, Shi Ran would hate her for the rest of her life and have a rift with her forever.
"Understand"?
That doesn't exist.
"Forget it, the wedding continues tomorrow; I'll go tell Yixin." She was dejected, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Shi Youxuan took out her phone to dial, but Sheng Hanyu suddenly said: "I'll go tell Ranran and tell her that I was the one who proposed canceling the wedding; you don't have to wrong yourself."
Shi Youxuan: ……
"I, I don't feel wronged either!" she explained in a low voice.
She truly didn't feel that having a wedding with Sheng Hanyu was a wrong, she just hadn't made up her mind yet.
She hadn't made up her mind, nor was she prepared to get back together with him.
"It's okay, you don't need to explain, I understand, I get it." After Sheng Hanyu finished speaking, he went out, leaving behind one sentence before he left: "You don't need to worry about this matter anymore; I will handle it well."
……
Sheng Hanyu did indeed handle it well.
First, he separated Shi Ran and Shi Youxuan, having his daughter go to the Villa to stay with her aunt.
This could effectively prevent the awkwardness of Shi Ran asking Shi Youxuan to wear a wedding dress.
With the child not at home and Sheng Hanyu saying all the trouble belonged to him, Shi Youxuan's guilt could ultimately not withstand her intense sleepiness, so she fell asleep after a simple wash upon arriving home.
She hadn't rested well during this period, sleeping at most four hours a day, and the quality of her sleep was particularly poor; she could be woken up by the slightest movement.
Now that the heavy stone in her heart had been lifted, she slept very soundly, not waking up until nearly noon the next day.
She was woken up by hunger.
She hadn't eaten much yesterday, so after waking up, her stomach was growling, and she got up to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
She opened the refrigerator door—there was nothing to eat.
There were only a few shriveled vegetables in the fridge, and nothing else at all.
She closed the fridge and opened the cupboard—it was even cleaner than the fridge, empty, not even a pack of instant noodles.
"It's all Sheng Hanyu's fault, hmph!" She prepared to order takeout on her phone.
Blaming him for sending food several times a day, or simply bringing ingredients over to cook; she had only just realized that her kitchen had gradually become Sheng Hanyu's territory.
Shi Youxuan did not know how to cook; in the past, she would often keep milk, bread, and instant noodles at home, along with plenty of snacks.
But after returning this time, Sheng Hanyu would often send food to them every day, using the excuse that eating snacks was bad for her health.
At first she refused, but later she got used to it.
The side effect of this habit was that once Sheng Hanyu was not around, she actually discovered she had nothing ready to eat.
She opened her phone, ha!
So many missed calls.
There were calls from Jian Yixin, calls from Jian Yixin, calls from her aunt, and even calls from Wang Yong.
Many people were looking for her, but Sheng Hanyu was not among them.
She decided to ignore them for now; nothing in the world was more important than eating.
Besides, Shi Youxuan could guess why these people were looking for her.
It was nothing more than the matter of the cancelled wedding; anyway, Sheng Hanyu said he would handle it, so she wouldn't worry about it.
She clicked on the takeout page, and looking at the dazzling array of food, she actually felt no appetite at all!
She was clearly very hungry, wasn't she?
But Shi Youxuan instinctively began to resist this food; she either thought it was too oily or too greasy, and even when she saw her favorite seafood, a thought popped into her head—peeling the shells was too much trouble.
This thought popping out gave her a fright.
Since when had she become so fastidious?
But this matter still had to be blamed on Sheng Hanyu; it was all his fault for being so capable, having such good culinary skills, and even being responsible for peeling seafood for them.
In the past, when she peeled it herself, she had never found it troublesome.
When she was in L Country, Shi Youxuan also peeled seafood herself when she ate it.
Of course, the servants were very willing to serve her, but she gave it up herself; she wasn't used to being taken care of while eating, and it wasn't as if she didn't have hands.
But how did she get used to it later on?
