Chapter 731: Don't Be Too Nervous

Yu Qingwan asked.

Shi Youxuan answered.

Yu Qingwan quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

She then asked a few questions that seemed completely unrelated.

For example: "How was your husband toward the child when Ranran was little? I mean before she was five."

Shi Youxuan:...

This question is very hard to answer, okay?

Yu Qingwan is an alumna of Jian Yixin, and the two of them had a very good relationship when they were in school.

It's just that after graduation, Yu Qingwan went abroad for further studies, and they lost touch.

The things from before Shi Ran was five involve the intricate and complicated relationships between three adults, so it is very hard to answer.

She hesitated slightly, and Yu Qingwan saw what she was thinking in her heart!

"Here, Mrs. Sheng, read this out loud." She playfully picked up her name tag.

Although Shi Youxuan didn't understand what it meant, she still did as told: "Qingwan Psychological Clinic, Doctor Yu Qingwan."

"That's right, I am a doctor, not someone's someone."

Shi Youxuan:...

So she briefly told Yu Qingwan about the things from before Shi Ran was five.

She stood up and patted Shi Youxuan's shoulder in a relaxed manner: "Don't worry, Mrs. Sheng, your daughter is fine, no need to be nervous."

Doctor Yu told Shi Youxuan that Shi Ran is a little girl who values relationships and loyalty, and that the way she is now is because she lacked love from a young age, so she places extra importance and value on love.

Although there are abnormalities, the problem is not big, and although it is different from Sheng Zichen's situation last time, there is no need for special psychological counseling.

Yu Qingwan suggested that Shi Youxuan take the child out to relax and guide her through side remarks.

This child's psychological defense is too strong, and her thoughts won't be easily seen through by others; if one were to expose them directly, it would be counterproductive.

It would be better to pretend to know nothing, change the environment to relax, and perhaps it will have an unexpected effect.

At night, the couple complained about their children in the room.

Shi Youxuan sighed with emotion: "I finally know why so many people don't have children and choose to be DINKs; having children is too tiring, and we actually had two?"

She thought if there were no children, just the two of them, they could go wherever they wanted to play, and wouldn't have to worry about any problems these two little brats might encounter on their path of growth, how nice would that be?

Relaxed and happy.

Sheng Hanyu:...

Put the matter of complaining about the son aside for now.

Must first straighten out the wife's thinking.

"People cannot live too selfishly; if everyone thought like you, humanity would go extinct."

Shi Youxuan said with disdain: "Do you take me for a child? I believe whatever you say? How could everyone have the same thought? There are many people who like children, so let those who like them have them."

Sheng Hanyu: "You don't like them."

Shi Youxuan: "I don't like them."

Sheng Hanyu: "That's fine, then let's throw them away, throw both of them away. I'll go play with you tomorrow, you say where to go and we'll go, no need to think about anyone."

Shi Youxuan:...

"Hey! How can you be like this? Are you the child's biological father? You say throw them away and you just do it? Don't talk about biological flesh and blood, even the cats and dogs we raise can't be thrown away casually..."

Her husband didn't speak, quietly listening to her indignation.

After she stopped, he asked: "Are you done?"

"Hmph!"

Shi Youxuan turned her head away and ignored him.

Fine, she was just venting, how could she really throw the children away?

Let alone throw them away, even losing a single hair wouldn't do.

Shi Youxuan was in the wrong and prepared to change the subject.

Her husband was considerate and had already taken the initiative to shift the topic to their son.

The snacks hidden in the dictionary, a matter that almost made Sheng Hanyu vomit blood from anger, made Shi Youxuan laugh out loud.

She wasn't angry, and even praised her son for having "creativity," and was one hundred percent sure that this matter must have been masterminded by Sheng Zichen, and that his grandfather was just helping him cheat by using the dictionary.

Regarding the study of food, Sheng Zichen is a natural!

Self-taught.

After each finished complaining about their children, the couple sympathized with each other.

Sheng Hanyu: "When the children grow up, we won't participate in their lives. By then, we'll travel around the world and not worry about the affairs of children and grandchildren."

She nodded and snuggled into her husband's arms: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Weekend.

Early in the morning, the Sheng Family was very lively, with servants moving back and forth, carrying food, drinks, and supplies onto the cars.

The whole family was going to the seaside Resort to spend the weekend.

Although the Resort has everything, having a barbecue by the sea in the evening has a special flavor.

The things used for the barbecue were the ones the family was used to using; besides seafood, the beef and lamb skewers for the barbecue were also skewered in the morning and kept refrigerated in the RV's fridge, so they would be just right for the evening barbecue.

"Sister, sister!"

Sheng Zichen stood at the doorway and shouted loudly.

When it came to going to the Resort, the little guy was the most enthusiastic.

It didn't matter what the scenery was like; what mattered was having good food!

Sheng Zichen didn't even need to be called in the morning; he got up and got dressed all by himself, waiting to set off.

On the contrary, Shi Ran, who usually never held anyone back, was the one holding things back today.

She was not very willing to go, and she had shown a lack of interest last night.

She even suggested wanting to stay home alone to do her homework, which was, of course, refused without hesitation!

Mom's reason was very sufficient: "We are a family, and not one person can be missing."

"Alright."

Shi Ran agreed.

But in the morning, she was still dawdling and unwilling to leave.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Without needing a reminder, Sheng Zichen ran inside and went to his sister's room to pound on the door: "Sister, sister, sister—"

The door opened, and he was caught off guard, stumbling straight inside.

Fortunately, his sister caught him, so he didn't fall.

Shi Ran was wearing a white princess dress today, and her thick, jet-black hair, just like Shi Youxuan's, was tied into two ponytails hanging in front of her chest.

Sheng Zichen didn't even look up: "Sister, you look really pretty today."

The little guy had his head pressed down by his sister, who turned him around and pushed him out: "Stop with the flattery, I don't believe a word you say!"

Seeing her daughter and son come out of the main gate holding hands, Shi Youxuan felt relieved.

At critical moments, her son was still the most reliable.

The three elders, Sheng Hanyu, and Sheng Zichen sat in the recreational vehicle, while Shi Youxuan drove herself, inviting her daughter to sit in the passenger seat.

"Mom, I'd rather be with Grandma and Grandpa; it's livelier with more people."

The little girl was very sharp; she had felt that her mother's attention toward her had increased significantly over the past two days.

She didn't want to ride in the same car as her mother, fearing she would be interrogated.

After saying this, without waiting for an answer, the little girl had already boarded the recreational vehicle and chased her father off: "Dad, Mom wants you to go over there."

By the time the two of them realized they had been tricked, the recreational vehicle had already driven away.

Along the way.

Sheng Zichen was the happiest.

His little mouth chattered non-stop the entire way, while Shi Ran listened quietly, maintaining a smile the whole time.

The seaside.

The Resort.

It had been over half a year since they last came.

They had originally agreed to come and play once a month, but there were always this or that matter, and in the end, it was delayed.

Usually, they didn't feel like anything was wrong, but only upon returning did they realize it had been a long time.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"Hahahaha..."

Sheng Zichen pulled his sister along to run on the beach.

Staying in the Study all these days had almost driven him crazy; finally out of the house, he was like a little bird returning to the sky, incredibly excited.

Emotions are contagious, and that was the case now.

Her younger brother was very happy, and it infected Shi Ran, making her mood much better as well.

The siblings played happily on the beach, digging for crabs and picking up seashells; the little girl took care of her brother thoughtfully, much more carefully than Shi Youxuan.

The couple stood in the distance, leaning against each other as they watched this harmonious scene.

The psychologist was right; concern should also have its limits—care for the children, but don't be too tense.

Children have their own ability to adjust; sometimes they don't need guidance, as they will figure things out on their own.

Time can dilute everything, and this saying applies to children as well.
