Chapter 395: World for Two 1

"How did I get here?" Shi Youxuan asked again.

"I brought you back," Sheng Hanyu provided the answer.

Shi Youxuan was relieved now; so it was he who had brought her back!

She slammed the bowl onto the table with a "clack" and said indignantly, "Who allowed you to bring me here? Sheng Hanyu, you are going too far. You are someone about to get married, yet you don't mind the implications. I still have to look after my reputation..."

Sheng Hanyu did not speak, only looking at her with a smile, listening quietly as she vented her anger.

Shi Youxuan was not one to let others off the hook when she had the upper hand, not to mention she had wanted to pick a fight in the first place.

It was impossible for her not to seize such a good opportunity.

She ranted on and on, full of aggressive momentum.

Only after venting did she realize another problem, a very important one: "Where is Ranran?"

Sheng Hanyu chuckled: "You only just remembered Ranran? She was taken away by Yixin. She sent a video this morning; they are outside having a snowball fight."

"It snowed?"

Shi Youxuan exclaimed, then rushed to the bedside and pulled the curtains open with a "swish"—a vast expanse of silver-white appeared before her eyes!

So beautiful.

Silver-white trees, a silver-white artificial lake, a silver-white road, even the Villa opposite was silver-white, and the snow was still falling.

Drifting and scattering, goose-feather-like snowflakes floated down lazily from the gray sky, wantonly occupying every corner.

Everywhere before her was a world of silver-white, like a world in a fairy tale, beautiful to the point of being unreal.

Shi Youxuan had been in L Country for five years and had never seen snow. This was the first snowfall since she returned; she hadn't expected it to be so heavy and so beautiful.

She pushed the window open, and the cold wind, carrying snowflakes, drifted in—"Achoo!"

"Don't catch a cold. Put on more clothes in a while and we'll go out to build a snowman," Sheng Hanyu said.

"Okay, okay..."

Shi Youxuan had just started when she realized something was wrong!

The "calling to account" wasn't over yet; she had almost let him fool her.

She closed the window and darkened her face: "Mr. Sheng, I won't pursue what happened last night, but please realize your status in the future and don't do anything that would let your wife down."

Finally reaching the main point, Sheng Hanyu stood up and walked to her, held her shoulders with both hands, and stared into her eyes, enunciating every word: "My wife is only you. It was you before, it is you now, and it will be you in the future."

Shi Youxuan wanted to push his hands away, but she tried twice without success.

"Don't be like this, it's too meaningless."

Shi Youxuan's tears fell: "You are always like this. When you married me years ago, you missed Jian Yixin and tried every possible way to find her. Later, when you thought I was dead, you tortured yourself in every way. Why can't you cherish the person right in front of you?"

"You already have another woman now, so don't keep dragging things out with me. Treat your bride well, love her sincerely, and treat me like you treat Yixin in the future; you can treat me as your younger sister."

Heaven knows how sad she felt when she said these words!

It was as painful as if someone were stirring her heart with a knife; her heart was bleeding, but her face wore a smile, and there were tears within the smile, looking indescribably pitiful.

Sheng Hanyu's heart was almost aching to death; he couldn't stand this woman crying in front of him.

"There is no other woman, only you, from beginning to end, only you."

"What happened back then was my fault."

Sheng Hanyu admitted: "Back then, I misjudged my feelings for Yixin. I took her as a younger sister, but I never thought of you that way. You are my beloved."

"From the moment I decided on you, it has never changed. Shi Youxuan, listen: I love you, only you! My wife, my beloved, will always only be you!"

He spoke, and she cried.

But she cried because she was moved.

So annoying.

This bad thing, Sheng Hanyu, how could he say such sweet love words?

Too sweet.

She loved hearing them too much.

But liking them didn't mean she would avoid reality.

So she asked straight to the point: "Wang Yong called you and even asked you to deliver the betrothal gifts; you still won't admit it? What, do you have to bring the person back before you'll admit it?"

Sheng Hanyu: "So what if I delivered betrothal gifts? Even if the person is brought back, I won't admit it... Brother Wang Yong is getting married, can't he ask me to be the chief witness? Which country stipulates that a chief witness cannot have a beloved..."

Shi Youxuan:...

"Wait."

She hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, finally realizing there was a misunderstanding here.

"You mean Brother Wang Yong's wedding? Besides you, does Wang Yong have other brothers?"

He reached out and lightly flicked her nose bridge.

"Of course, Wang Yong is my sworn brother; of course he can have a biological older brother."

He even used Sheng Zerong as an analogy: "For example, me and Wang Yong, Ze Rong—Wang Yong is my sworn brother, he is my younger brother; Ze Rong is also my younger brother. It doesn't conflict."

It really didn't conflict. Shi Youxuan patted her own head.

To prove his innocence, Sheng Hanyu even called Wang Yong. Of course, he didn't ask him to confirm that he was the chief witness and not the groom, but mentioned it indirectly.

Wang Yong didn't know what the situation was on this side; for every sentence Sheng Hanyu said, he said ten.

Shi Youxuan listened quietly, and within a few sentences, she understood everything—everything Sheng Hanyu said was the truth, not a single word was false.

Joy.

Along with the joy, she also felt she had lost face. Yesterday, the gathering was ruined because she was jealous; how could she face those people in the future?

Sheng Hanyu hung up the phone.

"It's all your fault."

She glared at him fiercely: "If you're the chief witness, just be the chief witness. You acted all mysterious when answering the phone, like a thief."

Sheng Hanyu found it amusing; she sent their daughter to eavesdrop on his phone call, yet she still accused him of being a thief, though he didn't know who the real thief was.

But even knowing what was going on, he couldn't expose it; the most important thing to do now was to pull her into his arms!

That was what he thought, and that was what he did.

Shi Youxuan was pulled into his embrace, and a moment later, her lips were sealed as well.

It was overbearing and left no room for argument.

She did not refuse.

……

A long while later.

After the passion.

Shi Youxuan was too exhausted and had already fallen asleep; he got up, put on his clothes, and called out softly: "Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan—"

"Stop it."

The person being called frowned, turned over, and continued to sleep.

He covered his mouth to stifle a laugh, then planted a deep, affectionate kiss on her forehead before leaving the room, feeling completely blissful.

Sheng Hanyu called Jian Yixin to ask her to help look after the children for a few days.

"You succeeded? You succeeded, right?" Jian Yixin was very excited; she was genuinely happy for him.

"Mm."

Sheng Hanyu was concise: "Wait to drink at our wedding." After saying this, he hung up the phone.

"Really? Is this real? That's great, that's great! Hanyu, I am truly happy for you, this is just wonderful..." Jian Yixin was so excited she was incoherent, and it was only after talking for a long time that she realized the person on the other end had already hung up.

But it didn't matter; it didn't affect her excited mood in the slightest.

Jian Yixin turned around, hugged Shi Ran tightly, and told her the good news: "Ranran, your mom and dad have made up; from now on, you will have a complete family."

Shi Ran: "Wasn't Dad planning to marry someone else? If Mom and Dad have made up, does that woman know?"

Jian Yixin: "There was never any other woman; that was never the case. Everything was just to help your mom realize her own heart, and everyone was just helping her."

She put it very nicely, but to put it bluntly, it was just everyone teaming up to come up with a plan and setting a trap for Shi Youxuan, and she had fallen for it—that was all.

The process didn't matter; the outcome was good.

In the end, Jian Yixin threw herself into her husband's arms, crying silently with tears streaming down her face.
