CHAPTER 750: CHAPTER 747: PLAYBOY

"What she just said, was that true?"

Tang Tang sat in his lap, blinking her big eyes, looking at him innocently.

"Don’t play dumb with me." Shen Siyuan reached out to pinch her little cheek.

She immediately stuck out her tongue, trying to lick his fingers.

"Gross." Shen Siyuan pulled his hand back in disgust.

"How did you make her so lucky?" Shen Siyuan asked, trying to use words she could understand.

Tang Tang still blinked her big eyes, looking at him in confusion.

"Sigh, all right, asking you is pointless." Shen Siyuan was quite helpless.

This little thing is even more naive than Dou Dou.

Just then, Tang Tang suddenly leaned forward, and with a smack, kissed Shen Siyuan’s cheek.

Shen Siyuan was first taken aback, then remembered the scene when Tang Tang voluntarily kissed Shen Shiyun that day, and felt a bit enlightened.

"Then why did you choose her? Is it because of me?" Shen Siyuan was even more curious about this question.

"A big good egg, han~"

Tang Tang said, pointing towards the living room.

Shen Shiyun heard laughter and turned to look at the balcony.

She saw Shen Siyuan lifting Tang Tang high up, Tang Tang’s little short legs kicking wildly in the air, giggling, with sunlight streaming through them, casting a golden glow.

This warm moment naturally captivated Shen Shiyun, making her momentarily stunned. Shen Siyuan’s previously cold demeanor was nowhere to be seen, and his smile was as gentle as the sunlight.

"Isn’t it nice?" Ruan Hongzhuang leaned in and asked softly into her ear.

Shen Shiyun blushed, withdrew her gaze, and said somewhat angrily, "He’s not nice to me at all."

Ruan Hongzhuang did not defend Shen Siyuan but instead asked, "Do you know why?"

"What else could it be? He doesn’t like my grandpa, feels sorry for his grandma." Shen Shiyun knew this very well in her heart.

But in her view, Shen Siyuan’s grandma and dad have forgiven grandpa, so why can’t he forgive grandpa?

"Do you know about their older generation’s issues?"

"I’ve heard some things from my grandpa." Shen Shiyun said.

"What you’ve heard is only from your grandpa’s perspective. You don’t understand that even just getting a divorce was a disaster for women back then, especially in rural areas where they would be criticized harshly. Gossip was like a lethal weapon, not to mention having a child..."

"Hunger, poverty, and having to guard against ill-intentioned people, every day was an ordeal. Your grandpa left freely, pursuing a better life, a brighter future, but he did so stepping on Shen Siyuan’s grandma’s shoulders, kicking her into an abyss..."

"Shen Siyuan’s grandma forgave your grandpa, perhaps because she was kind, because she loved. Your uncle forgave your grandpa because he is your grandpa’s son, because they lived together, loved him. Your uncle still holds expectations for him..."

"But Si Yuan is different. He grew up with his grandma, his personality is sensitive, and he could feel his grandma’s hardships. Moreover, he never ate a meal provided by your grandpa or received a bit of grace from him, so how can you expect him to forgive what your grandpa did back then..."

"Many things seem light when talked about now, but your grandpa’s actions back then ruined a woman’s entire life..."

"So, you need to understand his actions, do not think he is unfeeling."

Shen Shiyun nodded silently, indeed, she hadn’t considered all of that, and naturally chose to side with her grandpa, looking at the issue from his perspective, blaming all responsibility on the era.

"Sister Ruan, you’re really nice." Shen Shiyun said.

By saying this, she meant that Shen Siyuan wasn’t nice, so it seems understanding is one thing, being angry is another.

"I’ll drive you back to the countryside tomorrow to see your uncle and aunt." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"This is really too much trouble for you. Just give me the address, or let my cousin drive me."

"Your cousin doesn’t know how to drive." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Huh?" Shen Shiyun was a bit surprised.

Then she quickly expressed her disdain, "Such a grown person, yet can’t drive?"

Ruan Hongzhuang just smiled and didn’t explain.

At this moment, Shen Shiyun suddenly asked, "Sister Ruan, are you my cousin’s girlfriend?"

Through her interaction with Ruan Hongzhuang, she felt that this sister was truly charming, like a confidant big sister, gentle yet capable, exactly the perfect role model she wished to become as a child.

In their exchanges, the other party made no attempt to conceal her affection for her cousin, so she couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, doesn’t it look like it?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked with a smile.

Shen Shiyun shook her head, then nodded, finally saying, "My cousin is really lucky to find a girlfriend like you."

"Hehe, I think so too." Ruan Hongzhuang said with a smile.

Shen Shiyun glanced back at Taozi, who was talking to Liu Xueyi, and continued to ask, "Then who is Sister Taozi?"

"Her too." Ruan Hongzhuang said calmly.

Some things can’t be hidden, and there’s no need to, as long as they are willing and their parents don’t object, do they care what others say?

When humans gain power, they naturally break free from some chains, whether in thought or morality, as these are merely rules. When one surpasses the rules, naturally they aren’t bound by them; some people even completely let themselves go and stop being human.

But hearing this, Shen Shiyun was greatly shocked, her eyes wide open, and she exclaimed in surprise, dragging out the sound.

Ruan Hongzhuang put a finger to her lips, making a silent gesture.

Shen Shiyun quickly covered her mouth, speaking softly, "In that way, he’s quite like grandpa, truly their descendant."

"What?"

"Both are womanizers, sailing two boats at once."

"Haha..."

Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Shen Shiyun didn’t laugh, just grew more curious, "You two are so beautiful, what do you see in my cousin?"

She pretended to ask suspiciously, looking at Ruan Hongzhuang. Some things she couldn’t ask directly, so she had to use this method.

Sure enough, Ruan Hongzhuang immediately understood her meaning, lightly tapped her on the head saying, "Stop overthinking. Among the three of us, your cousin is the poorest."

Now Shen Shiyun was even more clueless, why would two such beautiful and outstanding women fall for her cousin?

Could there be some talent she is unaware of?

Thinking of this, she blushed slightly.

"I told you not to overthink. I can only tell you that your cousin is a very special person, worth us liking." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Shen Shiyun heard this and didn’t continue to ask questions. Ruan Hongzhuang showed her around her house, gifting her a bag, and also giving Liu Xueyi some small items. After dinner at her home, she sent them back.

They agreed that she would come by the next morning to take Shen Shiyun to the countryside to see her uncle and aunt. This time, it was naturally Shen Shiyun alone, as Liu Xueyi was planning to wander around Bin Hai by herself.

On the way back, they passed by the "Yunduo Convenience Store" again, and subconsciously glanced over, but found it was already closed, and didn’t pay much attention to it.

Too many things happened today, exhausting them both. After returning, they took a bath and went straight to sleep, getting a good rest.

The next morning, Shen Shiyun got up first. Not waking Liu Xueyi, she packed up and left the hotel with a bag. They had agreed to have breakfast at her cousin’s place before heading out together.

Passing by the "Yunduo Convenience Store," she subconsciously glanced again, finding the shop still closed, and without paying it any mind, she went directly to her cousin’s place.

Taozi opened the door for her, "Good morning, Sister Taozi."

Shen Shiyun greeted, glancing at Taozi’s face, seeing her skin as fair and tender as a peeled egg, enviably smooth.

Just then, sounds of laughter and play came from the living room. She looked over and saw not only Tang Tang, but also Duoduo and Dou Dou, two little girls there.

What are they doing here so early in the morning? Aren’t they going home?

Shen Shiyun was truly surprised.

PS: I might take a day off tomorrow. My daughter is on holiday, too overwhelmed, and hasn’t rested in months, so planning a spontaneous trip to Disneyland. I’ll see if I can find some time, if not, I might have to take a day off.
