Chapter 532: The Best Way to Miss Someone is Never to Meet Again

"Keep acting! You just keep on acting!" Shi Youxuan stood before him with her hands on her hips, watching him perform to his heart's content.

This man wore a straight face in front of outsiders, looking cold and aloof all day long.

But only Shi Youxuan knew that he also had a goofy side.

Just like right now!

She was wearing a pair of Converse; what could happen from stepping on him with canvas shoes?

Besides, although she had used force, she hadn't used her full strength.

Shi Youxuan watched him perform quietly, and as a result, she forgot what she had wanted to do just a moment ago.

A moment ago, she had wanted to leave in a huff, but now she only wanted to spitefully expose the man's performance.

Sheng Hanyu stopped acting and said with a smile, "Wife, don't be angry, listen to my explanation."

After speaking, he raised three fingers on his right hand to swear: "I promise I only love you; apart from you, I have no thoughts for any other woman. If I break this oath, may I die a horrible death."

"Hmph! If oaths were all effective, there would be fewer men in the world than giant pandas." The anger in Shi Youxuan's heart had actually already dissipated by half, but she still stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Then tell me, what do you want me to do?" Sheng Hanyu was at a loss.

He had even done something as embarrassing as swearing to prove his sincerity, all to win his wife's forgiveness, but it still hadn't worked.

When the Resort was built, the reason it was designed to imitate the Small Fishing Village, besides the exotic style that could attract tourists, was also largely because he truly had feelings for the Small Fishing Village.

After all, he had lived there for half a year, and most of the memories left to him there were still very beautiful.

But he couldn't go back.

Yafei was the new Village Chief of the Fishing Village now; going back would inevitably lead to contact with Yafei.

To avoid suspicion, Sheng Hanyu had kept no contact with that place.

Yet he had built a Resort modeled after the appearance of the Fishing Village!

And as soon as it was finished, he couldn't wait to bring his family to visit.

Sheng Hanyu admitted that he hadn't considered things thoroughly; if he had discussed it with his wife beforehand, this probably wouldn't have happened.

But he hadn't discussed it beforehand, so what could be done now?

Coax her, of course.

Sheng Hanyu apologized sincerely, then frankly admitted—the Resort was built because he had feelings for the Small Fishing Village, not because he had feelings for Yafei.

Fine.

He did have feelings for Yafei too, but that kind of feeling was the bond between siblings, not the romantic love between a man and a woman.

Both were concerns, but they were fundamentally different.

Shi Youxuan did not tolerate any sand in her eyes, but she was also a reasonable person!

Although she was very angry at first, she felt calm after Sheng Hanyu's explanation.

However, calm was one thing, but some matters could not be vague.

She told her husband: "If you are worried about that place, you can keep in touch with them, as long as you don't contact Yafei alone."

This really wasn't Shi Youxuan being narrow-minded; it was just that Yafei was too prone to being extreme, and she had to be on guard.

Back then, in order to monopolize Sheng Hanyu, Yafei had pulled off those stunts, and Shi Youxuan still couldn't forgive her when she thought about it now.

Yafei had spread rumors and slandered Shi Youxuan in front of Sheng Hanyu, just wanting to break up their marriage and replace her.

If such things could be forgiven, that would be too much of a saint!

Shi Youxuan was no saint.

His wife was sensible and broad-minded, and Sheng Hanyu was very moved.

But he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't be in contact with that side."

When he had regained his memory, he had pretended to forget everything related to the Fishing Village precisely because he didn't want to have any more contact with that place.

Not wanting to have contact wasn't because Sheng Hanyu was cold-blooded, nor was it solely to ensure he had no more intersection with Yafei; it was also for the good of the Fishing Village.

If Sheng Hanyu were in frequent contact with the Fishing Village, it would be easy for competitors to set their sights on that place.

The villagers there were not enough to adapt to the complex environment outside; it was better for them to remain peaceful and quiet.

With everything said and done, the couple prepared to take a short nap in the room and rest for a while.

But Erbao woke up, and being held by his older sister, the two siblings came over to "harass" their parents.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Papa—" Erbao said in a milky voice.

Sheng Hanyu widened his eyes in disbelief and said to Shi Youxuan, "Who is calling me outside?"

Shi Youxuan slapped her forehead; she had actually forgotten to mention something as important as Erbao being able to talk.

"Zichen is calling Papa," Shi Youxuan said.

"Who?"

Sheng Hanyu was too excited; his voice changed pitch from the excitement.

But this time Shi Youxuan didn't answer, smiling: "Why don't you go open the door and find out?"

Right, open the door and he would know.

He hurried over to pull the door open; Erbao was still in his sister's arms, maintaining the posture of preparing to knock.

Seeing that it was Papa who opened the door, he immediately grinned, smiling brightly like sunshine.

And he stretched out his arms: "Hold!" He sounded milky and fierce.

Sheng Hanyu didn't move; he was stunned.

"Papa, hurry and take him, this little guy is about to break my arm," Shi Ran reminded him.

Only then did he react, hurriedly taking his son from his daughter's arms; the little guy was soft and fragrant, but very heavy.

It was hard on their daughter, always holding her little brother.

The little guy seemed a bit unaccustomed to being in his father's arms; he adjusted his sitting posture, then planted a "smack" of a kiss on his father's face.

"Mom, look, little brother is making demands again," Shi Ran said, snuggling into her mother's arms.

Sure enough, the little guy had a request after giving that kiss.

Erbao pointed his chubby little finger outside: "Out, stroll."

Sheng Hanyu didn't move, making a demand: "What do you call me? Call me 'Dad' and I'll take you out."

"Dad—"

The little guy didn't just call out, he also planted another kiss on his cheek—"smack."

He covered his face in drool.

Sheng Hanyu didn't even wipe it off, happily carrying his son out for a stroll.

Shi Youxuan was speechless.

Who exactly does this child's personality take after?

She began to have a headache, but this was only the beginning.

The father and son hadn't been out for long before they returned.

Erbao was crying "wa-wa—," but it was all thunder and no rain, while the expression on Sheng Hanyu's face was very complex; it was impossible to tell if he was happy or unhappy.

These different, even diametrically opposed emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were miraculously appearing on his face, and all at the same time!

Wang Yinghao had been taking a nap in her room, but upon hearing Erbao cry, she immediately ran out and snatched her grandson from her son's hands.

While coaxing her grandson, she scolded her son: "Are you bored with nothing to do? You made such a good child cry. My Baobao is out for his first outing, why did you provoke him?"

"My grandson is a prodigy, don't keep making him cry; what if he cries himself silly..."

With his grandmother backing him up, Erbao cried even harder.

He didn't just cry dry tears; he also used his limited vocabulary to file a complaint: "Dad, bad... no, Baobao, pretty!"

Although the little guy didn't have a large vocabulary, the general meaning was understood.

The gist was—the father and son had seen a beautiful woman while out, and he wanted the beautiful woman to hold him, but his father wouldn't let him!

Wang Yinghao:...

Shi Youxuan:...

Shi Ran:...

Sheng Jiang heard the noise and also came out of his room:...

The whole family was collectively speechless.

A child only six months old, and he already knew how to flirt.

Wang Yinghao carried Erbao away.

Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu, along with Shi Ran, held a small meeting in the room!

Sheng Hanyu: "Mom is a bit doting on Erbao."

The mother and daughter said in unison: "Remove the 'a bit'."

Wang Yinghao's doting on Erbao was consistent; it wasn't a big problem while the child was small, but it definitely wouldn't do if it continued after he grew up.
