CHAPTER 748: CHAPTER 745: MIX-UP

"Taozi, you drive the car back first. It’s not far, and we can just walk home."

After leaving the hotel, seeing the car parked at the hotel entrance, Shen Siyuan then realized, there are five of them, they simply can’t fit in.

Because when they went out today, they used Ruan Hongzhuang’s red convertible sports car, which barely seats four, let alone five.

"Okay, I’ll head back first then."

Hearing this, Taozi didn’t say much, after all, it’s only a few minutes walk from here to their residential area.

"Let’s go, our home is right ahead."

Seeing Taozi start the car and leave, Ruan Hongzhuang took the initiative to invite the two women.

As for Shen Siyuan, apart from saying a couple of sentences to Shen Shiyun at first, he didn’t speak again.

"Thank you, sister." Shen Shiyun said with a playful smile.

In just this short moment, she’s already calling her sister.

Liu Xueyi, lagging a few steps behind, quietly tugged on Shen Shiyun’s arm and whispered, "Didn’t you say we’re unlucky and it’s inconvenient to visit people’s homes? Why did you change your mind?"

"I just said those things earlier, it’s hard to refuse now." Shen Shiyun said somewhat regretfully.

"Besides, it was a bit strange just now. I clearly wanted to refuse, but when my eyes fell on Miss Ruan’s face, I just couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded unconsciously."

"Oh? I didn’t expect you to be so enamored, even by a woman, though she is indeed very beautiful. But you don’t have any particular preference, right?" Liu Xueyi released her arm and moved aside.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Shen Shiyun blushed and spat.

"Unlucky?"

Shen Siyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced back, not seeing any sinister ghostly figures around the two.

Ruan Hongzhuang seemed to hear too, turned back with some curiosity, and called out, "Pass the convenience store in front and we’ll be there."

Shen Shiyun and Liu Xueyi quickened their steps to catch up with the two.

"Yunduo Convenience Store? The name is really nice." Liu Xueyi said.

"Right, it reminds me of a convenience store by the clouds." Shen Shiyun added.

"This store is quite special, do you want to go in and look around?" Ruan Hongzhuang laughed and recommended.

"Can we?"

Obviously, the two women were also very interested in this old-style convenience store.

"Of course, it won’t take much time."

So the group walked towards "Yunduo Convenience Store", and just as they were about to enter, a little kid suddenly rushed out from inside.

"Oh, hello customers, would you like to come in and buy something? My superstore has... uh... Potato..."

When Dou Dou saw Shen Siyuan, she let out a long sigh.

"What are you doing?"

"I thought customers were here." Dou Dou said.

Then she seemed to realize something, excitedly said, "Potato, Sister Ruan Ruan, do you want to buy something?"

"Buy your big-headed ghost." Shen Siyuan reached out to tap her on the head, but was stopped by Ruan Hongzhuang.

"We were just about to go into the store for a look." Ruan Hongzhuang patted her little head and said.

"Yay, yay..." Dou Dou was overjoyed.

"It’s ’welcome’, not ’yay’." Ruan Hongzhuang patiently corrected her.

"Okay, yay."

"You little thing." Ruan Hongzhuang pinched her cheek gently.

While the ones in front were happily chatting and laughing, Shen Shiyun and Liu Xueyi walking behind were shivering.

"In the morning, was... was it this kid?" Liu Xueyi tightened her grip on Shen Shiyun’s arm.

"Yes... probably, where’s the other one?" Shen Shiyun also looked frightened.

As they were talking, another little girl came out of the store, exactly the other one they were thinking of.

The two almost burst into tears, but were too proud to admit it.

"Brother, sister." Duoduo seemed a bit surprised to see them both at her family store entrance.

Ruan Hongzhuang also patted her little head, then led them into the store.

"Are your mom and dad in the store?"

"Xiao Shen, Ruan Ruan, you’ve come." Just then, Song Qingwei came out from the store to greet them.

Seeing them talking together, Shen Shiyun began to doubt the earlier situation.

"Do you think it might be your phone’s issue, and we were just scaring ourselves?"

"Could my phone be broken? But why could it still take pictures of you?"

"Who knows, electronic devices break in all kinds of weird ways." Shen Shiyun said.

"But they didn’t have shadows..."

They looked ahead but found that everyone stood under the awning, making it impossible to tell if there were any shadows.

"Try with my phone." Liu Xueyi said as she was about to take out her phone.

"Your phone has problems, use mine." Shen Shiyun said.

Just when she was about to take her phone out of her bag, Ruan Hongzhuang turned back to call them.

"Shiyun, Miss Liu, come on over. It’s hot outside, come in and cool down."

"Who are these two?" Song Qingwei asked in confusion.

"This is Si Yuan’s cousin, and this is her classmate..." Ruan Hongzhuang introduced them proactively.

"Ah, nice to meet you, nice to meet you..."

"So it’s you guys." Duoduo put her hands on her hips and tilted her head up.

"You know them?" Song Qingwei was a bit surprised.

"I met them on the beach just now." Duoduo said.

Song Qingwei nodded in understanding and quickly invited everyone inside the store.

Shen Shiyun and Liu Xueyi closely examined Duoduo and Dou Dou, seeing their adorable faces without a hint of eerie ghost energy.

They carefully probed, patted their heads, even pinched their chubby cheeks, finally realizing they had made a huge misunderstanding, sharing an awkward smile, neither wanting to bring up the embarrassing incident again.

"Is this Shiyun’s first time in Bin Hai? You should enjoy it thoroughly..."

"Let Xiao Shen or Miss Ruan show you around..."

"If you don’t mind us being older, we can also take you around..."

...

The enthusiasm of Lin Jianming and his wife made the two a bit flattered.

However, they did not stay long in the store, Shen Siyuan proactively suggested leaving, "Taozi drove back earlier, and is waiting for us at home."

"Alright, then we won’t hold you up." Song Qingwei didn’t insist on keeping them either.

As they were leaving, Dou Dou wanted to follow, but Shen Siyuan thought of entertaining guests back home, and this little one going back might cause a ruckus with Tang Tang, so he said, "Stay here and play with Duoduo."

"Oh, alright then."

Dou Dou didn’t mind as long as she had something to play with, and she found it fun to invite customers at the entrance.

As they left the store, Shen Shiyun and Liu Xueyi couldn’t help but glance back; when they withdrew their gaze, Shen Shiyun couldn’t resist her curiosity, "Those two little ones are so cute, are they the kids of the store owners?"

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at her, smiled, and explained, "Duoduo is, she’s the slightly older one, but the younger one, called Dou Dou, is Jiang Taoshi’s niece."

Upon hearing this, the two seemed relieved, thinking it was just a strange issue with Liu Xueyi’s phone, resulting in a huge misunderstanding.

Arriving at the entrance of the Sea Breeze District, the two were surprised, seeing the environment, it’s obviously a high-end residential area, but thinking about the red sports car earlier, it didn’t seem so strange anymore.

Liu Xueyi quietly whispered in Shen Shiyun’s ear, "Your cousin seems quite wealthy."

Shen Shiyun said, "I don’t know either, my grandpa never mentioned anything."

"Look at those giant scenic balconies, I’m afraid the housing prices here aren’t cheap, each set probably costs several thousand watts." Liu Xueyi said.

"So expensive?" Shen Shiyun said in surprise.

Though their family had some wealth, most assets were accumulated over generations, along with some ancestral properties, even so, it’s unlikely they could come up with tens of millions all at once.

"What else could it be?"

Hearing this, Shen Shiyun was even more curious about the surrounding environment, seeing not only abundant greenery in the community, with various tropical plants grown, but also there were tracks, swimming pools, tennis courts, and other fitness facilities, indeed the high cost seems justified.
