Chapter 734: Just Make Do, What Else Can We Do But Stay Together?

~8 min read 1,557 words

Since when did my husband become so sensitive?

"We are talking about Lao Qi and Nianyin right now; why are you dragging yourself into this? Let's talk about the real issue."

The "real issue" Shi Youxuan spoke of was, in Sheng Hanyu's eyes, not a "real issue" at all!

In his life, there was no "real issue" other than Shi Youxuan.

"You are not allowed to dodge the question. Answer me directly. Tell me the truth, are you tired of me?" At his age, Sheng Hanyu was at the peak of a man's charm, yet he felt a deep sense of crisis, always worried that his wife would dump him.

Shi Youxuan was speechless once again.

If it were any other woman, she would probably feed her husband some comforting words, telling him: I am not tired of you, I love you, I love you, I will only love you for the rest of my life.

But Shi Youxuan was not "anyone else." Seeing her husband like this, she just wanted to tease him.

"Sigh!"

This woman sighed deliberately, looking helpless: "So what if I'm tired of you or not? The children are already so big, what else can we do but stay together?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

He began to feel nervous.

Putting on a serious face, he said sternly: "Shi Youxuan, what do you mean by that? Say it again."

Shi Youxuan: "Don't dwell on these meaningless things. Let's just make do; isn't that how a lifetime passes?" She looked helpless on the outside, but inside, she was blooming with laughter.

It was too much fun.

People always say that middle-aged women are the ones with a sense of crisis, but in their house, it was the other way around. The middle-aged man Sheng Hanyu now had a sense of crisis, and it was the kind that was thick and impossible to melt away.

"Tell me the truth, who have you taken a fancy to?"

Shi Youxuan turned her back to her husband, her shoulders heaving: "Don't ask anymore, you won't want to hear it."

Sheng Hanyu grabbed her shoulders and turned her around. His wife covered her face with both hands, her shoulders still heaving, and she even made a sound like a "sob."

"Who is that man? Tell me, and I will make him disappear immediately." He said this short sentence through gritted teeth.

Consequently, his wife "sobbed" even harder.

Even her speech was intermittent: "Sheng, Hanyu, are, are you stupid? You are threatening, threatening me, and I am even, even less likely to tell you!"

"Even if you don't say it, I can still find out."

"Fine, you, go ahead and investigate. Just don't disturb my sleep."

"Snap!"

Shi Youxuan quickly turned off the light.

Oh my!

She couldn't stop laughing.

Her stomach hurt from laughing.

"Snap!"

The light came back on.

Shi Youxuan was caught off guard, meeting her husband's nervous face head-on.

"Fine, you actually lied to me?"

Sheng Hanyu realized he had been teased and, "embarrassed into anger," began to tickle his wife.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, hahaha!"

The flesh on Shi Youxuan's waist was off-limits; she was uncontrollably ticklish.

"Tell me, will you dare to do it again next time?"

"I won't dare, I won't dare."

The couple laughed and played together.

Jiangzhou Institute of Economic Management.

Lao Qi was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his handmade Italian leather shoes polished to a shine. He wore the latest model of Ray-Ban sunglasses on his face, and his hair was cut in the style common among college students.

He was handsome to begin with, and having dressed up specifically today, he was even more attractive.

Equally shiny was the car behind him, a Mercedes-Benz 600.

Although this car didn't stand out much in a flashy place like the Institute of Economic Management, he had still washed it clean and waxed it until it gleamed.

This was the sincerity he could offer; whatever he could do, he would do one hundred percent.

Lao Qi stood straight in front of the car, holding a bouquet of fresh, dripping-wet red roses in his arms.

Ninety-nine of them.

A handsome man plus fresh flowers made for a very high turn-head rate.

The school entrance was bustling, and students passing by would all take a look.

Lao Qi felt a little embarrassed.

Although he was not young and it wasn't his first time falling in love, he was as nervous as a green lad.

He lacked confidence and was afraid of being rejected.

The Madam had told him everything about Nianyin's situation.

She hadn't explained it very clearly—things about the Ji Family could not be spoken of—only that Nianyin would not marry out, and to marry her, one had to move in as a live-in son-in-law. She asked Lao Qi if he could accept that.

He hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, before the Madam spoke to him, he had never considered being a live-in son-in-law.

Over the years, the Chairman had treated him well, and Lao Qi had enough wealth of his own; he really didn't need to be a live-in son-in-law, there was no need.

After hesitating for a while, he nodded earnestly: "I can, I can accept it."

Shi Youxuan was secretly delighted.

Since Lao Qi can accept this, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Like master, like man; Lao Qi is Sheng Hanyu's most capable confidant, and his temper is not much different from Sheng Hanyu's.

A typical "steel-straight" man.

With no major problems, it was time to strike while the iron was hot; Shi Youxuan told him some of Nianyin's temperaments and hobbies, and so Lao Qi came.

Carrying full sincerity.

Finally, Nianyin appeared in his line of sight; she was dressed in black, not carrying a backpack but holding a few books in her arms, walking very quickly.

She didn't notice Lao Qi and brushed past him.

"Nianyin."

Hearing someone call her name, she stopped and looked around blankly, not seeing anyone she knew.

There was a man holding a bouquet of roses beside her, but she didn't recognize him.

She had only met him once at the Sheng Family, and had long since forgotten him.

Nianyin thought she must have misheard and continued walking, but her arm was grabbed: "Nianyin, you don't recognize me?"

She took a closer look and recognized him.

It was the man from the eldest sister's house last time.

Last time he had stared straight at her, his gaze as if he wanted to eat her.

Nianyin did not have a good impression of him.

"Let go." Her face and voice were cold.

Not only did Lao Qi not let go, he shoved the flowers in his arms directly into Nianyin's: "I've been waiting here for you all morning, these are for you."

It gave her a fright.

Lao Qi didn't even see how Nianyin made her move before his wrist was grabbed and twisted behind his back.

The roses also fell to the ground and were trampled on without mercy!

"Hey, why are you attacking?"

His martial arts skills were very good; dealing with a dozen burly men was no trouble for him.

Now, to be captured by a thin, weak girl, Lao Qi was surprised, but it also stirred up his fighting spirit.

He tried to struggle free slightly, but it was useless.

The force coming from his wrist was very strong; this girl had not only practiced martial arts, but her skills were also extraordinary.

He lowered his stance and delivered a Sweeping Leg, the wind of the kick fierce; if Nianyin were even slightly unsteady, she would have fallen into his arms.

However, that did not happen.

Nianyin performed a 180-degree side flip on the spot, nimbly dodging the Sweeping Leg, but the move to pin her arm was broken.

The two of them began to fight at the school gate, move by move.

A crowd quickly gathered around, all there to watch the excitement!

This kind of excitement is hard to come by; a love confession turned into a fight, and it was quite a good fight to watch.

The two fought in a deadlock, evenly matched.

"Beep beep!"

Too many people gathered at the entrance, causing a traffic jam, and the cars behind couldn't get through the gate.

"What's the situation up ahead?"

"Where is the Security Guard?"

The Security Guard was watching the excitement.

Gradually, fine beads of sweat seeped out on Nianyin's forehead, and her movements were not as fast as before.

A girl's physical strength is not as good as a man's; this is a fact, and there is no way around it.

Lao Qi, however, fought more steadily as he went.

After they had fought for a while, he had seen almost all of Nianyin's moves, and suddenly he revealed an obvious opening.

Nianyin was overjoyed and lunged forward with a "Vicious Tiger Plucks the Heart."

She used all her strength in this move; if she landed it, he would be injured if not worse.

Just when she almost thought she had won, Lao Qi suddenly dodged quickly; Nianyin couldn't stop her momentum, and just as she was about to have intimate contact with the ground, she was scooped up by a large hand and pulled into his arms.
