Chapter 493: Taking Wedding Photos and Maternity Photos Together

"Stingy."

Shi Ran stuck out her tongue and made a face: "You can't wear it now anyway, so leaving it there is a waste. It wouldn't even hurt to give it to me; you're too stingy."

Shi Youxuan wouldn't fall for it, immediately retorting: "Can you wear it? Can you? Since no one can wear it, it's better left with me than ruined by you."

"Mom, how can you be like this? You're not generous at all. Shouldn't elders yield to the younger generation? You aren't yielding to me, I'm unhappy."

In the days when Sheng Hanyu wasn't home, the little girl behaved very obediently and sensibly, and Shi Youxuan was once very gratified, feeling that her daughter had grown up.

It turned out that wasn't the case at all; as soon as Sheng Hanyu returned, the little girl immediately "returned to her true nature."

Once the mother and daughter started bickering, it wouldn't end easily without outside intervention.

The photo studio manager came over, smiling at Shi Youxuan: "Madam, please go get your makeup done. We have cosmetics specifically for pregnant women here; please rest assured, they have absolutely no effect on the fetus..."

"Wait a moment!"

Shi Youxuan interrupted: "Why do I need makeup? Isn't it just to pick up the wedding dress?"

The manager covered her mouth and chuckled without answering, instead asking her back: "Madam, if it were just to pick up the wedding dress, wouldn't it be enough for us to deliver it to your home? Why would we trouble you to make a special trip?"

Shi Youxuan:...

That made sense.

But that wasn't right either; it was Sheng Hanyu who said he was taking the mother and daughter out for a change of scenery, and picking up the wedding dress was just on the way.

Sheng Hanyu was using "a change of scenery" as a pretext to specifically take her out to take wedding photos.

Because before Xiao Erbao was born, the wedding couldn't be held.

But the wedding photos had to be taken; they were preparing to move into the new house soon, and the wedding photos needed to be hung up.

When Shi Youxuan learned they were going to take wedding photos, she touched her round belly with a worried look: "I can't fit into a wedding dress like this at all. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to take wedding photos?"

The photo studio had a way.

The designer perfectly combined the wedding photos and the maternity photos.

She couldn't wear her own wedding dress, but the studio had ready-made ones that could be worn; there were wedding dresses specifically for pregnant women and plus-sized people, with large sizes to cover the belly.

When taking the photos, if Shi Youxuan held a bouquet in her hands, it could perfectly block her belly.

When it was time to take the maternity photos, she could then reveal her belly.

A family of three, plus the one in the belly making four, left behind frame after frame of happy imprints in front of the lens!

After taking the wedding photos, they went to a hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot as usual.

After eating their fill, they stopped by to see the new house.

This time they didn't walk over from the residential area, but drove directly through the underground passage into their own garage—it was blocked; two cars were parked in the garage, already occupying the parking spaces.

"I'll go see what's going on."

Sheng Hanyu got out of the car and didn't return for quite a while.

Behind him, the property manager followed in fear and trepidation, nodding and bowing incessantly, offering apologies.

Soon those two cars drove away, yet Sheng Hanyu didn't park his car inside, but reversed and drove out of the residential area, intending to take the mother and daughter home.

His face looked bad, filled with anger.

Shi Youxuan asked: "What's going on? Tell me."

Sheng Hanyu: "Forget it, you'd better not know, lest it upset you."

"I won't be. Tell me, I can hold it together. I've been through so many storms, what could possibly upset me? If you don't tell me, I'll just let my imagination run wild; it's too draining and affects my son's absorption of nutrients."

Sheng Hanyu then told her.

It turned out those two cars in the garage were there to view the house!

Because they weren't home, the property management had actually taken it upon themselves to set their house as a model unit and opened it to the public!

Shi Youxuan exploded on the spot, getting out of the car angrily: "That's too much! I gave them the keys out of trust, and they actually dared to use my new house as a model unit for people to visit? It won't be over until I turn their place upside down..."

Sheng Hanyu grabbed her arm and asked: "How are you going to turn it upside down? The manager has already been fired."

"Is firing the manager enough? There's still the BOSS above; they must give us an explanation..."

Shi Youxuan looked at Sheng Hanyu's helpless face and remembered.

This residential area was developed by Sheng Hanyu; the biggest BOSS was standing right in front of her.

Consequently, she became even angrier!

For the BOSS's house, the people below actually dared to take such liberties; their audacity was truly too great.

But since the person had already been fired, being angry was useless.

Shi Youxuan was still worried and wanted to go to the new house to take a look, to see how it had been ruined.

Fortunately, the room still looked just as it had when it was newly renovated, and there were no changes.

Other property staff said their house had just been opened, and in total, fewer than ten people had come to see it before it was discovered...

Fortunately, it was discovered early.

But this incident also sounded an alarm for Sheng Hanyu—he had been away from the company for too long, and there were indeed many problems that required strengthened management.

They took back the keys and changed the locks on the door.

Sheng Hanyu took Shi Youxuan and her daughter home, then went to the company to handle this matter.

This incident sounded an alarm for Sheng Hanyu.

He had actually discovered problems the last time he came to look at the house, but because the manager here was quick-witted and had good performance, he had turned a blind eye to the minor flaws.

But now he saw the problems were indeed very serious.

The manager had set his sights on their house, which only caused anger but wouldn't cause other repercussions.

But if it were another client's house that was discovered, the reputation of the entire real estate project could be ruined by him alone!

Sheng Hanyu would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

The mother and daughter returned home, and Sheng Hanyu went to the company for a meeting, not returning until midnight.

There was a slight sound at the front door; he was deliberately keeping his voice low, fearing he would disturb the mother and daughter.

Shi Youxuan was not asleep; she came out of the room with her large belly: "You're back? Are you hungry? There is food in the kitchen, I'll go heat it up for you."

The meal was made by Fang Jie, and it was very convenient to just put it in the microwave and "ding" it.

"I've already eaten."

He took off his coat, came over to hug the woman, and asked with concern: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shi Youxuan said: "I slept in the afternoon, I slept too much, so now I can't fall asleep."

The two returned to the room, and Sheng Hanyu pressed his head against her belly to feel their son moving inside.

Now that the pregnancy was advanced, whatever the child did inside could be clearly felt from the outside.

"Hey, he kicked you!" Sheng Hanyu exclaimed fussily.

Shi Youxuan: "He kicks me often, and now his strength is getting bigger and bigger; you have to spank him for me after he's born."

Sheng Hanyu: "Alright, I'll spank him right now to vent your anger!"

Consequently, Shi Youxuan's belly received a tap.

This guy even spoke with righteous indignation: "Little thing, I'm warning you not to bully your mother, or else I'll spank you."

Shi Youxuan:...

Sensing his wife's glare, Sheng Hanyu pretended not to notice: "I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower."

"You come back here."

Shi Youxuan grabbed his arm and pulled him back, using both hands to straighten his face toward her own: "Apologize."

"For what?"

Shi Youxuan: "Don't you have any idea why?"

"I'm sorry, how about I offer myself to you?"

Just as he said this, the man's gaze began to turn fiery.

A fiery gaze was useless, though; someone was now a protected figure of national treasure status, only to be looked at but not eaten!
