Chapter 800: Becoming Cute

Keep a distance from him, don't crowd around.

"You all go away, I don't want you anymore."

In Yuke's eyes, only Grandpa is the best; Mom and Dad are both bad people.

"Dad" pushes her and scolds her, "Mom" is very distant with her and not close to her!

If you want to leave, then leave; I couldn't ask for anything better.

"Xuanxuan, let's go."

Sheng Hanyu breathes a sigh of relief, supports his wife as she stands up, and prepares to go home.

"That wouldn't be very good, would it? Dad is still here. I'll sit for a while longer. If you don't like staying here, you can go back first, or wait for me outside." Shi Youxuan has to consider her adoptive father's face; she cannot let Dad be hurt.

"I'll stay with you."

Naturally, he will not leave; wherever his wife is, he is there too.

Even if he stays, he keeps a straight face, glaring at Yuke with vigilance, not daring to relax for even a moment.

Yuke sits properly, not daring to move, nor daring to speak, only stealing glances at "Mom" with her eyes.

Everyone present is awkward; no one is comfortable.

Since it is so awkward, it would be better to just leave.

This time, Shi Youxuan takes the initiative to stand up: "Dad, Yuke, if there is nothing else, we will head back now."

"Fine, fine, fine, you all go ahead."

Shi Yucheng agrees very readily, his face clearly showing a look of relief, and he instructs his second daughter: "Go slowly on the road, get more rest when you get back, and tell me if you want to eat anything. Your dad doesn't have many skills, but digging for wild vegetables is still something I can do."

"No need to be like some people, wearing designer suits and going up the mountain to act like a big bad wolf."

Sheng Hanyu:...

The "big bad wolf" refers to him.

He has no other clothes; he has very few casual outfits.

The last time he went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables was also a spur-of-the-moment decision; as a result, he didn't dig many vegetables, but he startled quite a few people.

Yun Zhehao led many people up the mountain to help him dig wild vegetables, preparing to replace him.

For such a big CEO to go dig wild vegetables, any random person would be better at it than him.

This joke became a handle for Shi Yucheng to mock him.

Sheng Hanyu smiles: "Then I will trouble you, Dad. If you need anything here, just have Shi Liu contact me."

Being mocked doesn't matter; it's for his wife anyway, so it's not shameful.

The two walk to the elevator entrance; there are many people.

Sheng Hanyu protects his wife, not wanting her to be squeezed by others.

But there are always people who don't follow the rules and squeeze forward; the spots they give up are quickly occupied by others.

The elevator stops several times in a row, and neither of them manages to get on.

Shi Youxuan says to her husband: "Let's take the stairs down; it's not very high, just consider it exercise."

Sheng Hanyu is a bit hesitant; he feels it is not safe.

But it is currently the peak time for hospital meal delivery, so fighting for the elevator is indeed difficult.

"Alright, I'll support you, and we'll go down slowly."

The two walk toward the stairwell.

Just as they enter the stairwell, Shi Youxuan suddenly remembers: "Oh no, I left my bag in the Hospital Ward."

"You wait here, I'll go get it back," her husband says. "Before I come back, you are not allowed to go down the stairs by yourself; you must wait for me."

"I know, so long-winded." Although she complains with her mouth, she feels very sweet inside.

He instructs her one more time: "You must wait for me."

"I know, I know, hurry up and go."

Sheng Hanyu walks out of the stairwell, and after just a few steps, he feels something is wrong. He turns his head abruptly and sees Yuke rushing into the stairwell from another direction.

Her posture is strange, and she is running very fast; if she were to push Shi Youxuan now, the outcome would surely be dire!

"Xuanxuan."

Sheng Hanyu rushes back, but he is still a step too slow, watching helplessly as Yuke rushes in front of his wife—Shi Youxuan is protecting her belly tightly, also full of vigilance, fearing any mishap.

But she stops, smiling like a flower: "Mom, you left your bag behind."

Only then do the two realize that what she is holding is the bag; it turns out she came to deliver it, a false alarm.

Shi Youxuan takes the bag and says thank you: "Thank you. Your leg hurts, why did you deliver it yourself? You should have let someone else bring it."

Yuke says sweetly: "It's different. I want to do something for Mom, so that Mom will like me."

Shi Youxuan:...

Sheng Hanyu:...

The two are speechless.

Yuke used to do all sorts of evil, racking her brains to harm others; now that she has suddenly become pure, innocent, and cute, the two really find it hard to adapt for a moment.

"I want to give you a gift, guess what it is?" she says with a smile.

"Ah, what is it?" Shi Youxuan is still shaken and not in the mood to guess.

But Yuke has great patience, smiling and looking very proud: "I won't tell you; you have to guess at least three times before I'll say."

"A doll?"

"Wrong."

"A hair tie?"

After Yuke woke up, she became very fond of small, inexpensive things like hair ties and hair clips that children wear on their heads.

"That's not it." She shook her head.

"There's only one chance left, oh; Mommy needs to use her brain and guess very seriously."

Use her brain?

She had been an adult for too long; she had already forgotten what kind of things children liked and what kind of gifts they would give.

It was truly hard to guess.

But she still thought about it very seriously and carefully for a while, then said, "Knee pads?"

"Correct!"

Yuke clapped her hands, very happy: "Mommy is great, Mommy is the smartest; she guessed it on the first try."

She took a bag out from her bosom like a treasure, opened it, took out a pair of rex rabbit fur knee pads, and handed them to Shi Youxuan: "Mommy, this is what Auntie Yixin gave me. I couldn't bear to wear them and have been saving them for Mommy. I'm giving them to you."

Shi Youxuan suddenly felt her eyes grow hot and very moist.

Her legs did not hurt.

But Yuke's legs hurt.

In a child's world, they believe that whatever I need most is the best thing!

She gave her most important thing to "Mommy," which showed she loved her very much.

Yet she had been clinging to the past, unable to let go, suspecting her of faking stupidity, using surveillance, and sending people to test her.

Shi Youxuan felt very guilty, and also very moved.

"Thank you, but you should keep these. If you give away something someone else gave you, think about how sad the person who gave the gift would be."

"They won't be. I already asked Auntie Yixin, and she said that things given to me are mine, and I can give them to others."

"Mommy isn't 'others,' she's Mommy, oh. The cartoons say that Mommy is a child's closest person; children must always love Mommy and listen to Mommy."

In the end, she still brought the knee pads back.

Yuke's wet, big eyes were filled with disappointment and grievance, making her unable to bear refusing.

On the way.

Shi Youxuan discussed it with her husband: "Husband, let's send her abroad for surgery to have her knees fixed."

Yuke's current walking posture was particularly unsightly and always drew ridicule from others; although she had become simple-minded, she still liked beautiful things.

But every time she tried to walk like a normal person, it would be as painful as undergoing torture.

She was simple-minded now, and to endure the pain of her knees on top of that was like being punished twice; Shi Youxuan could not bear it.

Her husband agreed to his wife's proposal very readily: "You have the final say. Do you need me to arrange for people?"

"Mm, I do."

The couple was actually worrying too much.

Someone had already done this; Jian Yixin had contacted the most advanced hospital and the best experts to redo the surgery on Yuke's legs.

That kind of surgery could not be done domestically; it had to be done abroad.

Jian Yixin had already contacted the experts and the hospital, and there was no need to worry about the expenses, but there was one thing—there was no one to accompany her!
