Chapter 862: Sheng Aifei

"I'm not jealous."

Shi Youxuan gave her husband a reassuring pill: "Back when you had amnesia, Yafei couldn't snatch you away from me. Now that we have both a son and a daughter, my position is as steady as a rock, so there's even less need to be jealous."

"Go quickly, illness cannot be dragged out."

"Wife, you are so good. I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to be able to marry you as my wife in this one."

Sheng Hanyu saying sweet nothings in front of his wife had already become commonplace, and Shi Youxuan was not surprised; if an outsider heard it, they would definitely suspect something was wrong with their ears.

Sheng Hanyu had been at the Fishing Village for half a month and still hadn't returned.

Phone calls often wouldn't go through; the signal at the Fishing Village wasn't very good, especially when there were wind and waves, it was impossible to receive anything at all.

But even when the call could get through, he would only say a few words in a rush before hanging up.

There must be something going on over there, but as for what happened, he wouldn't say, and she didn't know.

On the surface, Shi Youxuan looked like there was nothing wrong, doing what she needed to do every day, but in her heart, she couldn't help but worry.

Her mother-in-law was not as calm as she was.

Wang Yinghao struggled for several days, but still couldn't hold back, and quietly asked her daughter-in-law: "Xuanxuan, do you think that woman called Yafei is faking an illness to trick Hanyu into going over there and then detaining him so he can't come back?"

Originally, she was already feeling uneasy, and now that her mother-in-law said this, she felt even less confident.

"It won't happen, Mom. Please don't let your imagination run wild. Hanyu is your son; if others don't know your son's capabilities, surely you do. As long as he wants to leave, no one can detain him."

Mother-in-law: "I want to have Lao Qi go to the Fishing Village to bring him back. What do you think?"

Lao Qi was now in L Country, not far from R Country, so it was just right to let him go find him.

Shi Youxuan hesitated: "That doesn't seem right, does it? If there's nothing going on, won't doing this make people overthink?"

"It won't. You don't know about this; it's all my own personal action. Alright, that's decided."

Wang Yinghao called Lao Qi. Upon receiving the call, Lao Qi immediately agreed to go to the Small Fishing Village to find the Chairman, and guaranteed: "I will definitely bring the Chairman back within three days!"

Three days later.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

Lao Qi's phone also started having a bad signal!

No one answered.

When it was finally answered, it was also contrary to his usual self, stammering and speaking vaguely.

"Old Madam, there is a very tricky matter here. I can't explain it in a few words. I'm hanging up now!"

"Beep, beep, beep—" It was the familiar busy signal again.

How big of a matter could it be that it couldn't be explained?

When Wang Yinghao called again, Lao Qi simply turned his phone off; he was even more mysterious than Sheng Hanyu.

One week later.

The two of them returned.

No, it was three people!

The two of them brought back a little boy about the same age as Sheng Zichen. The little boy clung tightly to Sheng Hanyu's side, warily sizing up everything around him!

Seeing this, Wang Yinghao hurriedly pulled Lao Qi to the side and whispered: "What is going on?"

Lao Qi: "I'm going to put away my luggage. Oh my, I've been out for so long, I miss my bed."

He slipped away, but Sheng Hanyu couldn't slip away; there had to be a reasonable explanation for the child by his side.

"Mom, where is Xuanxuan?"

Shi Youxuan had taken the two children out to get vaccinations and was not at home.

It was fortunate that she wasn't home; if her daughter-in-law had been home, Wang Yinghao didn't know what kind of reaction she would have had upon seeing this scene.

But what should be known would be known sooner or later.

When Shi Youxuan brought the children back, she discovered that the atmosphere in the house was wrong.

"What's wrong? Why is everyone acting so strange?"

No one spoke, but Sheng Zichen ran over with a pitter-patter, crashing into his mother's arms: "Dad and Uncle Lao Qi are back."

"Where are they?"

"Dad also brought back a little boy. That boy calls Dad 'Dad' too. I hate him."

Shi Youxuan:...

She immediately thought that the little boy might be Yafei's son—Sheng Aifei.

The facts were indeed so.

Closing the door, the room only had the husband and wife. Sheng Hanyu said to his wife: "Xuanxuan, Yafei is dead."

"Oh, so you brought her son back, is that it?" Shi Youxuan was not surprised.

"Mm."

If Yafei were still alive, Sheng Hanyu would not have brought her son back.

She knew what her husband was like.

Toward those women who threw themselves at him to curry favor, Sheng Hanyu could be as cold and ruthless as winter.

But toward women who had done him a favor or were truly infatuated, he would also soften his heart and feel compassion.

Everyone's personality is different.

Sheng Hanyu was the type of man who was cold on the surface but actually valued relationships and righteousness.

Valuing relationships and righteousness is both a strength and a weakness.

Some relationships are hard to balance.

If you value one side, it is inevitable that the other side will be neglected.

Although he never said it, Shi Youxuan knew that her husband had always felt he owed Yafei, so bringing Yafei's son home now was within her expectations; she had thought of it and could accept it.

"Are you afraid I won't accept this child? I won't, I'm not that narrow-minded, rest assured, I will treat Aifei as well as I treat Zichen, and from now on he is our son."

The family is not short of the means to feed, clothe, and house one more child.

"Wife, I'm sorry..."

Sheng Hanyu hesitated to speak.

"Is there any other problem?"

"Yes."

There really was a problem.

After Sheng Hanyu finished explaining the reason, Shi Youxuan was nearly bursting with anger!

He had promised Yafei to hide the child's true background and just say that Aifei was his and Yafei's illegitimate son.

Bringing him back to the Sheng Family would not count as adoption, but as acknowledging his ancestors and returning to the clan!

"No, I cannot agree to this request," Shi Youxuan refused decisively.

"Xuanxuan, listen to me, I know this is unfair to you, but the child is innocent..."

"You only know that other people's children are innocent? Our children are also innocent, and I am also innocent. By what right? What right do you have to hurt us, who are equally innocent, just for the sake of someone else's innocent child?"

Sheng Hanyu: "Wife, I know this is unfair to you all, but you don't know the situation at the time; if I hadn't promised her, Yafei would not have been able to die in peace."

Shi Youxuan was even angrier: "Just because it was her dying request, you must agree, is that it? How is this any different from using death to force someone? Just because she was about to die, her words must sacrifice the stability and happiness of our family? By what right?"

"Sheng Hanyu, have you thought about it? If you deceive a child like this, it is also unfair to him. Will he get along harmoniously with Zichen and the others? No. Are there few such cases in other families? Do you want to make the house a mess before you're satisfied?"

Facing his wife's questioning, Sheng Hanyu was speechless.

He admitted that everything his wife said was correct, but he still insisted on his own idea and would not change it.

Neither husband nor wife could convince the other, and Shi Youxuan dragged her suitcase out of the room.

"Mom, are you going on a trip?" Sheng Zichen asked.

Shi Youxuan: "I am moving out to live. Are you coming with me, or staying with your father?" Although this choice was a bit cruel for the children.

But if she didn't do this, even crueler things were yet to come.
