Chapter 380 I'll Make It Up to You Tonight
Shen Jiheng had finally found his footing with Han Xi and wanted to rekindle their old romance, but unexpectedly, the child woke up at the crucial moment.
Han Yumo rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at them with a smile.
This situation could completely destroy Shen Jiheng's hopes.
Han Xi pushed Shen Jiheng's shoulder to let him put her down, walked to her daughter's side, and gently stroked her head.
"Yumo, did Mom wake you up?"
Han Yumo hugged her neck and kissed her, saying sweetly, "I just missed you. It was like hearing my mother's voice in my dream, so I came out to see. It really is you. I'm so happy."
Han Xi was truly gratified to see her daughter expressing her feelings in such a romantic way.
After all, she had a language communication disorder, which is considered a form of autism.
In the past, she wouldn't even respond when Han Xi and her son spoke to her, a stark contrast to now.
With Han Chuang by her side, she felt more confident, which is why Han Xi wanted to keep him around so that the three children could keep each other company.
"I'm so happy to hear you say these things. Mom misses you too."
"I'll go wake up my brother and uncle to play."
Han Xi tried to stop her, but Han Yumo had already turned around and was calling out into the house, clearly very excited.
It's rare for her child to be so excited, so Han Xi hopes that she can have a variety of emotions and be able to express her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Upon hearing the call, Han Yuxuan opened her eyes almost immediately, and Han Chuang quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed.
"Mom is back."
"Sister~"
Hearing the children's shouts, Han Xi's heart melted.
She turned to look at Shen Jiheng, who was still somewhat unhappy, and nudged his elbow, saying, "Don't be like this, I'll make it up to you tonight."
Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and leaned close to her ear to ask, "Does that mean I can do anything?"
Han Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes. When would he ever be serious?
"Mr. Shen, please keep your thoughts pure."
Shen Jiheng shrugged, looking puzzled and curious about her.
“Did I say anything? I asked if you could go for a walk tonight, or maybe teach me how to do the crafts I did with the kids last time. I think you have impure thoughts and you’re blaming me.”
Han Xi was on the verge of tears; he had been outmaneuvered by the man.
"I don't want to argue with you."
"I think you're just feeling guilty; I hit the nail on the head, so you're running away."
If we're talking about shamelessness, Han Xi thinks that if Shen Jiheng claims to be second to none, then probably no one would dare to claim to be first.
Moreover, he was too competitive and always wanted to win, so Han Xi was no match for him.
Han Xi waved her hand in surrender: "You're right, I admit defeat. Now that the children are awake, let's spend some time playing with them."
Shen Jiheng walked over and said persistently, "But you haven't answered my question yet, so is it okay or not?"
This time, Han Xi wasn't fooled. Instead, she glared at him angrily without answering.
Shen Jiheng was not one to give up easily; he grabbed her wrist and wouldn't let go.
Han Yuxuan came out and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about? I see Mom's face is red. Are you trying to make her angry?"
Han Chuang also asked, "Brother-in-law, you can't bully my sister. We'll help her."
Shen Jiheng smiled gently and said cheerfully, "How could I bully her? I was just discussing something with her, but she didn't answer."
These words drew the children's attention even more, and Han Xi was impressed.
"Okay, is everything alright now?"
If I don't agree, who knows how long Shen Jiheng will keep pestering me.
Shen Jiheng revealed a smug expression; he now knew exactly how to manipulate Han Xi.
Of course, she also understood that Han Xi's change was because she had feelings for him; otherwise, given her stubborn nature, even the King of Heaven himself wouldn't have been able to change her mind.
The couple played games with their child, temporarily putting aside their problems.
The next morning, before dawn, the doorbell rang at the Gu family's house.
Since there were no housekeepers or servants available, only the strongest man, Gu Beichen, got up to check the situation.
After recognizing that the visitor was Shen Mu, he ran to knock on Shen Jiheng's door.
“Shen Jiheng, your cousin has come to my house. You’ll have to deal with it yourself.”
With the beauty still in his arms, Shen Jiheng wanted to stay up late with Han Xi, so being woken up must have made him extremely unhappy.
He picked up his phone from the bedside table and saw that Shen Mu had made more than twenty phone calls from midnight until morning. Judging from the time frame, he hadn't slept all night.
However, Shen Jiheng had turned off the mute and was having a tender moment with Han Xi, so he wouldn't pay attention to these things.
"knew!"
Han Xi squinted her eyes, feeling groggy; she was so tired she could barely keep them open.
She knew how good Shen Jiheng's stamina was, and now that their relationship had warmed up, he had become even more unrestrained, with frightening energy.
"You should get some more sleep. He's probably here because of what happened yesterday."
Han Xi yawned and sat up, saying lazily, "The fact that he came at this time shows that he is really in a hurry. I suppose the evidence you submitted has a fatal effect."
Shen Jiheng nodded: "Of course, either I don't do it, or I'll make sure he has nowhere to go."
Han Xi warned, "But he's come all this way, so it seems he's desperate. You need to be careful."
Now, Shen Jiheng is not facing these issues alone; the Gu family is also involved.
I'm not afraid of Shen Mu being bad, I'm afraid of him playing dirty tricks.
Shen Jiheng gently rubbed her head and said tenderly, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. Go to sleep and wait for me to come back."
He helped her lie down as if coaxing a child, and only now did Han Xi truly understand what it felt like to be in love.
Shen Jiheng put on his bathrobe and went downstairs. The empty house annoyed him.
All of this was because of that bastard Bo Siye's mess, which caused both the Gu and Shen families to dismiss their servants. The experience of having to do everything personally was undoubtedly a difficult challenge for people like them who were used to being pampered.
However, they were worried that Bo Siye might send someone to infiltrate, so they felt more at ease with their own people.
He opened the door, and Shen Mu angrily shouted, "Why didn't you answer my calls all night? I waited for ten minutes before you opened the door."
Shen Jiheng yawned, looking completely half asleep, and naturally didn't pay him any attention.
"Uncle, it's only seven o'clock in the morning. Isn't it a bit impolite of you to come and ring the doorbell like this?"
“I don’t want to give you that explanation. I’m asking you why you did this.”
Did I do something wrong? Or did I frame you?
This question stumped Shen Mu. Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "No, right? When you used shell companies to launder that money, didn't you know it was illegal?"
Shen Mu knew that he must have investigated thoroughly before doing these things, so he didn't want to make excuses and directly brought it up.
"You're doing all this just to get me to drop the charges. I promise you, I'll go to the police station to drop them later."
Shen Jiheng said regretfully, "That was indeed my original plan, but your attitude and actions, Uncle, made me very unhappy, so I changed my mind."
Shen Mu felt that he was still deliberately retaliating against him, so he said kindly, "This time, Uncle was indeed short-sighted and should not have acted rashly. I apologize to you."
