Seemingly aware of what was going through Ye Shu’s mind, Bai Yueru addressed Sheng Shaochen, "Mom asked you to explain things to Xiao Shu, and you clearly haven’t done that. Now other boys are chasing her right to our doorstep, and if you don’t clarify things properly, are you planning to wait until Xiao Shu’s heart has been completely warmed by someone else, and then live with regret?"
Sheng Shaochen frowned. The appearance of Sheng Shuai indeed made him feel a tad nervous.
His Little Shushu was so outstanding; he really should not give anyone the opportunity to take advantage of her vulnerability—not even in their dreams.
Sheng Shaochen lifted his gaze and looked straight at Ye Shu, "Han Ruixin is my life-saving benefactor. She became disabled in her legs and lost her womb because of saving me."
Ye Shu bowed her head, biting her lip; she had heard all this from Han Ruixin.
She had known it all along, but hearing Sheng Shaochen say it in person brought a new layer of sourness and helplessness to the feeling.
Saving a life was a debt greater than heaven, and however Sheng Shaochen chose to repay Han Ruixin seemed beyond reproach.
This inevitable passivity caused her a faint pain in her heart.
"This surgery has a chance of making her legs heal, but she needs to maintain a happy mood before the surgery..."
"Ah Chen, I understand..." Ye Shu suddenly interrupted him, her bright eyes lifting to meet his with a calm expression.
Sheng Shaochen furrowed his brows and took steps closer to Ye Shu.
Seeing this, Bai Yueru quickly got up and retreated to a spot over a meter away from Ye Shu, ensuring a safe distance could be maintained from Sheng Shaochen.
Sheng Shaochen walked briskly up to Ye Shu and reached out to embrace her, "You don’t understand, this is my responsibility to bear. But... that’s all it is! Only once she is able to stand again, will I be qualified to offer you a complete love."
Ye Shu’s gaze wavered, her eyes fixed on him blankly as her breathing became tense.
"After she recovers, I will give you an explanation!" An explanation that would take their marriage public, instead of continuing in a secret marital arrangement.
So, until then, she had to watch her own husband cater to another woman?
Ye Shu began to feel a little petulantly sad.
Bai Yueru, watching from the side, was getting exasperated, "Shaochen, you child, can’t you even speak properly? What do you mean by ’give an explanation’? As soon as Han Ruixin is better, you hurry up and marry Xiao Shu properly. That way, you’ll dispel any thoughts the Han Family might have!"
Ye Shu froze again, her moist eyes turning toward Sheng Shaochen, her gaze almost asking—is what Auntie said true?
Sheng Shaochen nodded firmly.
The gloom in Ye Shu’s heart swept away, her lips curving into an irrepressible happy smile.
Because no matter what her husband said, she would trust him unconditionally.
Ye Shu arrived at the "Dynasty" filming set at the appointed time.
The set was in an open space surrounded by trees on the outskirts.
Thus, the opening ceremony was also held temporarily on this very grounds.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Sun Nanjue, who valued efficiency, arranged for the shooting to commence, and the first scene to shoot today involved a fierce combat filled with flashing blades and flying swords.
When Ye Shu arrived on set, Sun Nanjue was already cheerily directing everyone to lay out the red carpet, set up the offering table, light incense, and whatnot.
He was busily enjoying the process.
Seeing Ye Shu from afar, he immediately summoned her over, whispering mysteriously into her ear, "Little Shushu, someone has sent you a surprise today."
What kind of surprise?
Could it be that Sheng Shaochen was planning to show up on set to support her? Thinking this, Ye Shu’s ears tinged slightly red.
But she soon thought it unlikely, since Bai Yueru had told her more about Han Ruixin and Sheng Shaochen’s situation yesterday, mentioning that Han Ruixin had surgery scheduled for eight o’clock tonight.
At such a time, her Mr. Sheng could probably only be by Han Ruixin’s side.
"Why the long face? Could it be that Ah Chen has been too harsh on you?" Sun Nanjue gauged Ye Shu in a teasing manner.
Ye Shu gave him an annoyed glance, "The auspicious time is almost here, hurry and call everyone to light the incense!" No sooner had Ye Shu finished speaking, she suddenly felt a strange tingling sensation at the tip of her nose.
The next second, Sun Nanjue started exclaiming, "Nosebleed, Little Shushu, you’re actually having a nosebleed! Didn’t Ah Chen exhaust you completely?"
For crying out loud! Ye Shu wiped her nose, and it was indeed blood. Her right eyelid also suddenly twitched violently, and she inexplicably became a bit uneasy...
