Chapter 398: The House Is Too Small

"How boring, let's go home!" Jian Yixin pulled her husband into the car and left, not even saying goodbye to the two of them.

She felt that these two were truly incredibly boring, not romantic in the slightest, and had wasted all the effort she put into planning their romantic proposal.

The couple Yun Zhehao and his wife felt equally "disappointed"; they didn't stay for dinner either and drove home.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day, a day for family reunions.

Everyone returns to their own home, everyone looks for their own mother.

Shi Ran held Shi Youxuan with her left hand and Sheng Hanyu with her right, skipping and jumping as they walked back.

Although the proposal ceremony today wasn't romantic, it was very successful, and the little girl was the happiest!

She had already started school and understood what a proposal meant; it meant that from now on, Mom and Dad were one family, and the three of them could finally live together without having to distinguish between "Dad's house" and "Mom's house."

That night, Sheng Hanyu didn't leave and stayed in Shi Youxuan's Study.

Fang Jie was currently living in the guest bedroom, and Shi Liu didn't live here, so he could only sleep in the Study.

Midnight.

Sheng Hanyu lay on the small temporary bed set up in the Study, unable to sleep no matter what, tossing and turning.

Having just spent a few wonderful days with Shi Youxuan, he had tasted the sweetness and was now unable to sleep at night!

Knowing full well that his lover was right next door but being unable to see or touch her was even more tormenting than when there was no hope at all.

Sheng Hanyu gritted his teeth: "Change houses, we're changing tomorrow!"

Shi Youxuan was being tormented just the same.

Although she wasn't tossing and turning on the bed like a pancake the way Sheng Hanyu was.

She couldn't sleep either, her mind full of him.

The more she thought, the redder her face became, yet she couldn't stop herself from thinking about it!

The little girl was already asleep, and Shi Youxuan lay beside her daughter staring at the ceiling; she also realized the house was a bit small and it seemed they had to change to a bigger one as soon as possible.

This Apartment was enough for the mother and daughter, and it was barely enough after Fang Jie moved in later, but now with Sheng Hanyu added, it wasn't enough anymore.

She didn't want to go live in a Villa; Sheng Hanyu Villa was nice, the environment was beautiful, and there were plenty of rooms.

But it was too far from Ranran's school, making it inconvenient for school.

Just as she was thinking, the phone on the nightstand suddenly lit up.

She hadn't turned it off, but had set it to silent.

Shi Youxuan picked up the phone and glanced at it; it was a WeChat message from Sheng Hanyu—Come over.

"Pfft—"

She covered her mouth with her hand so she wouldn't laugh out loud.

So he hadn't fallen asleep either?

Shi Youxuan had just sat up, ready to get out of bed, when she suddenly thought she should be a bit "reserved."

She couldn't just go over because he told her to; that would make her seem like she had no face.

So she typed two characters and sent them back—No!

Soon, the phone lit up again—Come quickly, I have something very important to discuss with you.

Shi Youxuan: What important thing? It's the same if you say it here.

Sheng Hanyu: It's different, it's different, it's different! Come over quickly, be good!

Shi Youxuan put down the phone, tucked the quilt in for her daughter, then tiptoed out of bed, opened the door gently, and closed it silently after she went out.

When she reached the door of the Study, before she could even push it—the door opened from the inside.

A large hand pulled her straight inside and into an embrace!

Sheng Hanyu began to kiss her, passionately and urgently.

"Don't mess around."

Shi Youxuan struggled and reminded him: "The door isn't closed yet, mind the influence."

The door was closed, and the two of them rolled onto the small bed—"Bang!" The bed collapsed!

"Ouch—"

Shi Youxuan held her waist; what kind of human suffering was this?

Why did she have to run to the Study instead of sleeping in her own perfectly good big bed?

"Xuanxuan, are you okay? Where does it hurt? Let me see, is it serious? Can you move?" Sheng Hanyu was extremely nervous; he was fine.

"Snap!"

The light was turned on, and now they could see clearly.

Shi Youxuan had fallen to the floor, grimacing in pain.

Sheng Hanyu instinctively reached out to pull her up, but was afraid she had injured a bone, so he didn't dare do it.

So he knelt in front of her, his two hands preparing to lift her as if she were a fragile piece of porcelain—Shi Youxuan pushed his hands away and stood up, supporting her waist herself.

She moved her waist around; although it hurt, she could move, which meant the bones were fine.

"Should we go to the hospital for a checkup?" the man asked nervously.

Shi Youxuan glared at him: "What would I say if we went to the hospital? If the doctor asks how I fell, do you want me to answer that you crushed the bed?" Although that was the truth, it didn't sound very good to say out loud.

Sheng Hanyu: "Just say you fell by accident, no need to give details."

"Hmph!"

Shi Youxuan glared at him again, annoyed: "Not going, I'm fine."

"Then let me take a look."

After Sheng Hanyu checked, he was sure she was really fine, and only then did he feel relieved.

Although it was a false alarm, the bed had collapsed!

She could not sleep in the Study anymore.

Shi Youxuan told Sheng Hanyu to make do for the night on the living room sofa and go home to catch up on sleep tomorrow morning, but he did not agree.

"Come with me." Sheng Hanyu pulled her out the door; she was still wearing her pajamas.

Shi Youxuan protested: "Hey, where are you taking me? I need to change my clothes!"

"No need, it's just downstairs."

Shi Youxuan:...

She only then remembered that Sheng Hanyu also had a property downstairs; she knew about it, but had never known which unit it was.

So it was right downstairs, incredibly close.

The next day, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Shi Youxuan snuck back to her own home in her pajamas.

She slipped into the master bedroom, lay down beside her daughter, and pretended that nothing had happened, quickly falling asleep.

She slept straight until the sun was high in the sky.

Shi Ran pinched a small lock of her own hair and lightly tickled her face with it...

"Stop messing around." She brushed it away with her hand; the itching on her face stopped, but only for a moment before it started again.

Shi Youxuan opened her eyes to see the little girl's smiling face right in front of her.

She had already washed up and was dressed neatly, looking as if she were ready to go out.

She pulled her daughter over and tickled her ticklish spots on her waist: "Little rascal, I knew it was you."

Shi Ran giggled.

Laughing while begging for mercy: "Mommy, spare Baobao, I won't dare do it again."

"I don't believe a word you say!"

The mother and daughter laughed and played in the room for a while, and Shi Youxuan's sleepiness vanished.

She glanced at the wall clock; it was nearly noon, so it was time to get up.

Although she was still very sleepy, she had to set a good example for the child!

If Mommy stayed in bed, she wouldn't be able to lecture the child if she didn't want to get up in the morning later on.

Shi Youxuan got up, washed, and went to the living room to see Sheng Hanyu sitting on the sofa, dressed in a sharp suit.

"Good morning." He greeted her with a smile.

But all he got in return was a roll of her eyes.

"What's good about it? It's almost noon already," she said.

Sheng Hanyu found it amusing: "You know that, do you? You know that? If Ranran hadn't gone to call you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have wanted to get up, right? You big lazybones, your daughter is much more diligent than you."

This guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

He knew perfectly well that they had been together last night and she had only just returned as the sky was turning light.

How many hours of sleep had she even gotten in total?

Yet now he was mocking her, hmph!

Shi Youxuan glared at him fiercely, but Sheng Hanyu's face was full of smugness!

This guy looked full of energy, as if he had rested very well.

Clearly, they had both had the same "intensity of labor" last night, so why did he look like nothing had happened?

"Eat quickly, I'll take you out after you've eaten," Sheng Hanyu said.

"Where to?"
