Chapter 112
“I was wrong, I was wrong!” Shen Youlin raised his hands in surrender.
His little nephew pointed a toy gun at the small of his back and threatened: “Kneel down quickly and sing Conquest!”
“Hey! You brat has turned the universe upside down!” Shen Youlin turned around in a flash, pounced on him and threw him into the snow, tormenting him violently.
“Auntie, save me! Help!”
Yu Shu laughed until her stomach hurt: “Coming, hang in there!”
Shen Youlin released his little nephew. As soon as Yu Shu walked over, he grabbed her and made her fall on top of him.
Yu Shu casually grabbed some broken snow and smeared it on his face. Shen Youlin hahaha laughed loudly, raised his head and kissed her on the cheek.
His eyes could shine, like stars and diamonds. Yu Shu was bewitched and lowered her head to kiss his lips. A snowflake melted between their lips...
“Shy, shy, shy!”
“Kiss kiss on the cheek, shy shy face~”
...
Several children frolicked around them, making a ruckus. Yu Shu was a little embarrassed with a flushed face and got up.
When she looked up, her cheeks turned even redder. She saw Grandma and Uncle Wei watching at the bay window on the second floor. Grandma laughed with smile lines on her face. Uncle Wei’s lips moved but she didn’t know what he said.
Shen Youlin also saw them and chuckled, “What do you think Uncle Wei is saying?”
Yu Shu held in her laugh, pretending to be serious, “It's been a long time since Young Master Seven smiled so happily. This is the first time he brought someone home.”
Shen Youlin put his hands on his hips and guffawed loudly: “But I'm also a man with the standard configuration of a tyrant!”
“Tyrants should also have a doctor friend. Do you have one?”
“Yes, that guy Pei Heng.”
No you're not, Yu Shu muttered in her heart. You’re the standard for a sick beauty.
The children were called into the house to drink ginger soup. A little girl wearing a thick down jacket was the last one. She accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. Yu Shu hurriedly helped her up, “Did you hurt from the fall?”
It was Zhao Wenqian’s little daughter An’an. She shook her head obediently and thanked Yu Shu, “Thank you Auntie.”
“She's dressed like a fat penguin. Of course she wouldn't be hurt from falling.”
The little girl was so angry she couldn't speak clearly, “You're the fat penguin! You are!”
Shen Youlin: “Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, I am ... Hahaha...”
Zhao Wenqian had just gotten out of the car and saw this scene: “An’an! Come here!”
An’an didn’t move until she saw Shen Yuxiao get out of the car and ran over, “Daddy! Daddy, hug!”
Shen Youlin put his arm around Yu Shu’s shoulder and walked over, “Oh, our tyrant and Cinderella are back.”
Zhao Wenqian was educating An’an that she was too old to act coquettishly with her father. An’an turned her head in Shen Yuxiao’s arms and ignored her completely.
Mean mommy only loves brother.
“Big brother!” Shen Youlin switched to a script of an obedient little brother, “Happy New Year, big brother~”
Shen Yuxiao held his little daughter and smiled, “Happy New Year, Yu Shu too.”
Zhao Wenqian said sarcastically, “I don't know who taught An'an to ignore her own mother whenever she sees me.”
“Oh, sister-in-law is here too,” Shen Youlin pretended he had just noticed her. “Happy New Year, big brother. Sister-in-law, whatever.”
“You...” Zhao Wenqian was so angry she couldn’t speak. Knowing she was no match for Shen Youlin, she turned to look at Yu Shu instead, “An’an is quite close to you. I wonder what you said to her.”
Yu Shu’s mother tongue suddenly turned into no words. She hinted to Shen Youlin with her eyes.
Shen Youlin said, “If that's what you think, there's nothing we can do. After all, it's very normal for you to think that way.”
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Zhao Wenqian. He put his arm around Yu Shu and walked away, “Brother, my couplet shop opens for business tomorrow. Remember to come and patronize it~”
“Yuxiao, look at them... How could they...”
Shen Yuxiao frowned and interrupted her, “It’s not just one or two days that An’an is not close to you. You should reflect and find the reason in yourself.”
After saying that, he ignored her and carried An’an into the house. An’an leaned against her dad's shoulder and made a grimace at Zhao Wenqian.
Shen Chaowen and Yu Fanxing arrived home the latest, just rushing back before dinner. Yu Fanxing really went all out shopping, bringing back two trucks full of stuff. The trucks parked in the side yard while the movers carried boxes after boxes into the house.
As soon as Yu Fanxing saw Yu Shu, she threw herself into her arms, “Baby, my Yu baby. Mom bought you lots of beautiful dresses and beautiful jewelry in Hong Kong. I’m going to make sure your clothes and accessories are different every day this New Year.”
Well, she really treated her like a dress-up doll to play with.
Grandma also laughed and asked, “Is there anything for me too?”
“Yes, of course!” Yu Fanxing let go of Yu Shu and ran to Grandma, trying to get on her good side, “I’ll show them all to you after dinner. I guarantee you'll like them.”
“Good, good.”
Shen Youlin rolled his eyes as a wicked idea came to his mind.
After dinner, Yu Shu went to the washroom and got lost in the winding corridors, ending up in a spacious living room. Judging from the decor of this living room, she had probably not been here before.
A kindly-looking woman in her fifties was there with seven or eight maids, unpacking the New Year goods Yu Fanxing bought. They removed the protective packaging used during transportation so that the items inside would not get bumped and scratched. After organizing everything neatly, they categorized and displayed them to facilitate Yu Fanxing distributing them to others later.
The reason Yu Shu did not think she was a maid was that her clothes were different. They resembled Uncle Wei’s butler uniform. The maids around her were also not young, mostly in their forties and fifties.
When the woman saw her, she gave a kind smile and walked over, bowing slightly, “Hello, I am the housekeeper Qu Qingyue. You can call me Auntie Yue. Do you need any help, Ms. Yu?”
That’s right. Yu Fanxing mentioned before that the Shen family had two housekeepers.
Yu Shu told her that she was lost. Auntie Yue gave her directions back to the dining room and asked again, “Do you need me to take you there?”
“No need, I can go back myself.”
Just as Yu Shu finished speaking, she heard Shen Youlin calling her, his voice coming from afar then getting closer and closer.
Auntie Yue’s body stiffened. She respectfully asked Yu Shu to leave but there was some urgency in that respectfulness.
As soon as Yu Shu walked out the door, she ran into Shen Youlin. Shen Youlin put his arm around her and led her back to the dining room, “See, you got lost right? I told you that you can’t live without a husband right?”
Yu Shu looked back at the living room she just exited. Auntie Yue stood at the corner, visibly relieved and relaxed. When she noticed Yu Shu looking back, Auntie Yue gave her a friendly, gentle smile.
Shen Youlin asked, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing. Let’s go.”
Auntie Yue was not in a hurry to drive her away, but afraid of Shen Youlin going into that living room.
At night, Yu Fanxing distributed gifts and everyone gathered together happily. But Shen Youlin was nowhere to be seen.
However, Yu Shu had no time to look for him as she was pulled aside by Yu Fanxing to discuss what clothes and accessories to pair with each day for the next month. They had to wear matching colors every day to make others think they were sisters.
Yu Fanxing had too many clothes and accessories that she had a dressing software specially developed to store them all digitally. It contained all her clothes and accessories.
Yu Shu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She covered her face and let Yu Fanxing gesture outfits on her with the iPad.
Suddenly, her right hand was pulled up. She looked just in time to see Shen Youlin holding her hand and slipping an aquamarine ring the size of a pigeon egg onto her finger.
In front of all the Shen family members, Shen Youlin went down on one knee in front of her, “Let all family members bear witness. Yu Shu and I are considered engaged from today. Yu Shu, may I ask if you are willing to marry me one day in the future, on a day when you feel the sunshine is just right?”
His move was too flashy. It stunned everyone, especially Yu Fanxing. Even her high-end foundation could not cover up the greenness of her face as her features painfully twisted.
It was Grandma who led the applause and cheers before everyone else reacted and followed suit.
"Say yes to him!"
"Say yes to him!"
"Say yes, say yes to him! You can't run away anyway!"
......
Yu Shu's ears turned so red they were burning. What more could she say? All she could do was murmur "Mm-hmm."
Shen Youlin's kiss landed on the back of her hand, igniting cheers throughout the living room.
Yu Shu was so embarrassed she pinched him. How could he do this when she was completely unprepared!
