Chapter 69: Shi Youxuan's Identity Almost Exposed

She rolled a big pair of eyes at him on QQ, and added a few gestures of contempt.

Then she typed a few lines: Your information is lagging; these are already old news.

The area in front of Sheng Hanyu Villa was especially lively a couple of days ago; many people came to the door to curry favor, wanting to introduce girlfriends to him.

Your title as Jiangzhou's number one eligible bachelor will soon change hands; do you feel any sense of crisis? She added a row of grinning faces at the end.

Jian Yining: I don't care about the title of eligible bachelor at all. Yingzi, will you be my girlfriend?

But it wasn't sent; she thought about it and deleted it.

She changed it to: They are all wasting their effort; Hanyu Ge is already married and won't marry anyone else.

He wasn't afraid to confess, but felt that saying it on QQ wasn't formal enough and seemed too rash!

Shi Youxuan stared at that line of text, lost in thought: "Hanyu Ge is already married and won't marry anyone else."

Heh, probably no one remembers except Jian Yining; he himself probably doesn't even remember.

Jian Yining didn't know what Yingzi was thinking and continued to chatter excitedly: Yingzi, let's go on a date after I return to the country? Promise me, okay? If you promise me, I'll give you a surprise.

Yingzi: What surprise?

Jian Yining: Promise me, promise me, I'll only tell you if you promise me!

Yingzi: Okay.

She thought of the matter a bit too simply; a date, in Yingzi's dictionary, just meant: setting a time to meet up, nothing more.

Jian Yining jumped up and down excitedly on the other side of the computer; the room really couldn't contain his excited mood, so he even went out to the living room to do a few somersaults before coming back to sit in front of the computer and emphasizing it again!

It's a deal, you aren't allowed to go back on what you promised; whoever goes back on it is a puppy!

Yingzi chuckled; she felt, what was there to go back on?

So she sent a line: Okay, you aren't allowed to go back on what you promised; whoever goes back on it is a puppy.

After closing the computer, she realized a rather serious problem.

So she said to Sheng Hanyu: "Now that two people are living here, housework should be shared."

He was a bit puzzled: "What is there to share about housework? If you don't want to do it, just have the housekeeper send a couple of people over to clean up in a while."

After saying this, he discovered that the house was indeed a bit dirty.

He never spent energy on these trivial matters, and of course, he didn't need to worry about such things.

"No." Shi Youxuan refused: "Didn't you hide here to find some peace and quiet? If you let your servants do everything, do you think you'll still be able to have peace and quiet?"

What she said seemed to make some sense, so Sheng Hanyu agreed: "Fine, tell me how to share it."

"Today you clean, and I'll cook."

The housekeeper had already sent over today's meals; putting them in the microwave for a "ding" was all it took.

Yingzi couldn't stand the room being dirty and messy, and since she didn't want to do it herself, she racked her brains to scheme against Sheng Hanyu.

He was very easygoing and agreed: "Fine, where is the rag?"

"Wait a moment."

Yingzi hopped off the sofa happily, skipped over to fetch a rag, a broom, a mop, a vacuum cleaner... and placed them in front of Sheng Hanyu.

She also kindly reminded him: "If there's anything you don't know how to use, Baidu the manual; don't ask me, because I don't know either."

"What's hard about this?"

The Eldest Young Master, who had never done housework, felt a bit of novelty picking up a rag for the first time in nearly thirty years of life.

He wiped the coffee table, then the windowsill, then the desk lamp...

Yingzi protested: "Hey, why aren't you washing the rag? You're only using this one, and it's getting dirtier the more you wipe; it's better not to wipe at all."

"Oh."

Sheng Hanyu went to the washroom to wash the rag; the rag was clean, but he got himself covered in water!

He had to go upstairs to change his clothes, and inevitably got mocked severely by Yingzi again.

After changing into clean clothes, he decided not to clean downstairs; Yingzi was downstairs, sitting cross-legged on the sofa like a lord, pointing fingers and giving orders, making him feel like a servant.

Shi Youxuan was munching on a big apple comfortably, while Sheng Hanyu was upstairs cleaning every room with a vacuum cleaner; she sat in the living room watching TV, and this feeling was exceptionally wonderful.

The Dao of Heaven is a cycle; who has Heaven ever spared?

Sheng Hanyu, haven't you always been so cocky? Never thought that one day you'd have to do servant's work, right?

Serves you right; who told you to come here and fight for territory with me?

Once you're on my turf, you have to listen to me.

The gym, the small reception room, the storage room...

Oh no, Shi Youxuan jumped up in one go and ran upstairs—the bear doll was hidden in the storage room; if it were discovered, it would be over, and she wouldn't be able to explain it.

"You can't go in, come out, come out."

She was too nervous, so nervous that even Sheng Hanyu noticed something unusual.

"What's wrong with you?"

Shi Youxuan realized she had lost her composure and hurriedly tried to recover: "Nothing, nothing's wrong. I'm just telling you that no one usually goes in here, so there's no need to clean it; you can just clean the other rooms."

She tried to push Sheng Hanyu out, but he stood still.

He even looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze: "That's not right, you seem very afraid of me entering here; there must be something in here you don't want me to see, right?"

Sheng Hanyu guessed right on the mark; Shi Youxuan hurriedly denied it: "Where would there be anything I don't want you to see? No, no, you're overthinking it..."

Her eyes darted, and she had an idea; she pretended to be kind and said: "I'm afraid you'll get tired; no one has ever cleaned in here, and there's a lot of dust. Your illness hasn't fully recovered yet; if you get sick from exhaustion, I'll have to take care of you... go out, go out, go rest."

This excuse was barely passable; if she were really afraid of Sheng Hanyu getting tired, she wouldn't have watched him clean room after room while pointing fingers earlier.

Now that she saw him enter the storage room, she became flustered; even a fool would understand what was going on, let alone Sheng Hanyu, who wasn't a fool.

"You get out."

He pushed Shi Youxuan out of the storage room with his backhand, slammed the door shut with a "Bang!", and locked it from the inside.

The storage room is locked?

Shi Youxuan gave Jian Yining a fierce scolding in her heart!

Yes, Jian Yining.

She hurriedly ran further away, took out her phone, and called Jian Yining: "You must call Sheng Hanyu right now, use any excuse you want, just get him out of the storage room immediately. I hid something extremely important inside that he cannot discover..."

Jian Yining: "Wait a second, Yingzi, don't be in such a rush. What storage room? Why would Hanyu Ge be in a storage room?"

Shi Youxuan: "I'll explain things to you later. Right now it's an emergency, it's urgent as a fire on one's eyebrows, hurry, hurry, hurry..." Before she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Inside the storage room.

Sheng Hanyu frowned and looked around: wooden boards, sheet metal, machines for mowing the lawn, leftover scraps from renovations...

These things were really not worth Yingzi being that nervous over, and they were all covered in thick layers of dust.

He concluded there was a secret here. The only woman Sheng Hanyu could contact now who was connected to Jian Yixin was Yingzi, and since she could make Yingzi that nervous, could it be that something of Yixin's was hidden here?

Just as he moved a wooden board, the thick dust flew up and choked him until he coughed incessantly.

Sheng Hanyu opened the window to let in some air, then moved those clumsy items one by one.

He moved a wooden board aside, and underneath was a red box; judging by how new or old the box was, it didn't look like it was from five years ago.

This box was very new, and it didn't look like something that should appear in a storage room. Just as his hand reached out—the phone rang!

It was Jian Yining calling. Sheng Hanyu answered: "Hello—"

"Hanyu Ge, the old man has been secretly sent to the hospital. It seems quite serious, he's unconscious, and only Sheng Yukai is by his side. He hasn't seen anyone else. Do you think it could be..."
