Shen Yue went downstairs alone and naturally faced "interrogation" from everyone.

"Where is Shao Cheng? Why didn't he come down with you?"

"Where is Dad? He said he was going to set off fireworks with me, didn't he?"

Shen Yue walked over composedly and casually made up an excuse: "He's tired and has gone to take a shower and sleep."

The elders didn't suspect anything, but Lu Chen stared at her thoughtfully for a few seconds.

Here is the translation of the given content to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"Ah... why did Dad go to sleep so early?" Xingxing pouted in disappointment.

"Let your dad take you to set off fireworks tomorrow, it'll be the same." Shen Yue patted Xingxing's head, speaking without turning red or her heart racing.

Xu's father and mother handed the prepared red envelopes to Shen Yue and Xingxing respectively.

Mother Xu looked at both of them, with tears falling down again.

"I have no regrets in my life anymore." she said.

"Thank you, Mom." Shen Yue gave her a big hug.

Xu's mother was stunned, and her tears fell even more heavily.

"Be good." She hugged Shen Yue tightly, her mouth stretched so wide that it couldn't close.

After Xu's father and mother, Lu Yunye and Lu Chen also gave red envelopes, but the scene was not as tear-jerking as before. Everyone remained emotionally stable from beginning to end—except for Xingxing, who kept jumping with joy because she received so much money.

The elders held on until the end of this "ceremony" before allowing their fatigue to show.

Father Xu was the first to suggest, "It's getting late."

Shen Yue reached out her hand to the stars, "Xu Xiguang, it's time for you to go to bed."

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Holding a thick stack of red envelopes, Xingxing reluctantly placed her hand in Shen Yue's palm and followed her upstairs.

**

After coaxing Xingxing to sleep, Shen Yue lingered for a while longer. Estimating that Xu Shaocheng's anger had subsided, she tiptoed away.

The entire house fell silent, extraordinarily quiet.

The others must have gone to bed as well.

Shen Yue pushed open the bedroom door. Inside, it was pitch dark, and even the night light she had left on when she went out had been turned off by someone at some point.

She was feeling strange when suddenly a hand reached out from the side and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into the room.

Shen Yue was about to scream, but someone covered her mouth.

Xu Shaocheng hooked the door with the tip of his foot and kicked it closed.

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Accompanied by the clicking sound of the lock, Shen Yue felt a chill down her spine as she was pressed against the wall.

In the darkness, all she could see was a pair of strikingly bright eyes, emitting a faint green glow.

Here is the translation with original HTML tags preserved:Shen Yue couldn't help but shiver.

She had no idea how Xu Shaocheng had broken free from the tie binding his wrists, and now was not the right time to ask this question.

"I was wrong," she decisively admitted her mistake, trying to get him to "show leniency".

"I gave you a chance." However, Xu Shaocheng remained unmoved.

He trapped her between his body and the wall, pressing tightly against her. Lowering his head slightly, he captured her soft lips with his own.

沈玥知道反抗与挣扎会更加的激怒他,因此主动抬起双臂缠上他的脖子,软软地撒娇:“我真的知道错了~”

她柔媚的音调于他来说,仿佛是最上乘的“春|药”。

Xu Shaocheng could no longer restrain himself. He scooped her up and threw her directly onto the bed.

**

On the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Without any surprise, Shen Yue stayed in bed.

When she opened her eyes, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and everyone except her had finished their breakfast.

Lu Yunye and Lu Chen left Xu's villa by car while she was still dreaming, returning to her home with Xu Shaocheng in the city center.

Xu's mother specially left a portion of breakfast for Shen Yue.

Shen Yue finished eating with a flushed face. Xu Shaocheng and Xingxing, who had been waiting for her for a long time, stood up at the same time. Xu's mother also brought out a disposable fast food box full of dumplings from the kitchen.

Here is the translation with original HTML tags preserved:"Here, don't forget this." She handed the takeout box to Xu Shaocheng.

"Okay, thanks Mom." After saying that, Xu Shaocheng looked at Shen Yue and asked, "Can we go now?"

Here is the English translation with the original HTML tags preserved:Shen Yue didn't want to pay attention to him, but in front of Xu's mother, she couldn't make her emotions too obvious.

"Mm." She responded, pulled Xingxing along, said goodbye to Xu's mother, and quickly walked out the front door.

Xu Shaocheng smiled wryly and quickened his pace to catch up.

**

Xu Shaocheng had told Xingxing earlier that they were going to visit Great-Grandpa. Therefore, along the way, Xingxing's questions all revolved around Old Master Xu, such as:

"Why is a great-grandfather called a 'great-grandfather'?"

"Is a great-grandfather the father of a grandfather?"

"Is a great-grandfather fierce?"

"If the great-grandfather has passed away, how can we still eat dumplings?"

……

Xu Shaocheng patiently answered all his questions one by one.

Throughout the process, Shen Yue kept turning his head to look out the window, not uttering a single word.

Xu Shaocheng secretly let out a sigh.

It seemed that he had indeed gone too far last night.

Here is the translation to English with the original HTML tags preserved:I should have stopped when she begged for mercy.

I...

The more she cried, the more he became "like a wild beast".

He pursed his lips and pressed his legs tighter together.

—Just thinking about it made his blood boil with excitement.

**

At the entrance of the cemetery, Xu Shaocheng bought a bouquet of flowers and asked Xingxing to hold them, offering them in front of Grandfather Xu's grave.

"Grandpa, we've come to see you." He bent down and carefully wiped away the dust that had accumulated on the tombstone over the years with a wet wipe.

Upon seeing Old Master Xu, Shen Yue's pent-up anger dissipated.

Leading Xing Xing, she first bowed three times to the old master's tombstone.

"Grandpa," Shen Yue looked at the kind old man in the photo, her eyes brimming with tears, "Do you still remember me? I am Shen Yue, Shao Cheng's wife."

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:As she spoke, she pulled Star in front of her and introduced him, "This is Star, his full name is Xu Xiguang, he is my and Shaocheng's son."

Star obediently greeted as Xu Shaocheng had taught him, "Hello Great-Grandpa~"

Xu Shaocheng was already a man of few words. After arranging the dumplings, he didn't say another word.

Shen Yue chattered on his behalf, "Grandpa, please don't be angry with us. We had wanted to bring Xingxing to see you for a long time, but we were afraid that Xu Zerui would find fault with us before everything was settled."

"The issues with the Xu family have been resolved, and Shaocheng and I are back together. Our wedding is set for May, and you must come and see us~ We will reserve the best seat for you at the main table~"

"Also, Yuntian Group has gone bankrupt. You must be very upset, right? But don't worry, Shaocheng has taken over some of Yuntian Group's previous projects, and he will definitely do a great job."

"Dad and Mom are both in good health. We have guests coming over to our house today, so they need to stay and entertain them. That's why they couldn't come with us to visit you. They asked me to pass along a message that they miss you too."

"But I think, you probably don't have time to think about us, right? You have gone there to reunite with grandma now, and must have endless things to talk about and do every day. Maybe... you even think we are disturbing your sweet time together now."

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Shen Yue wiped away her tears and revealed a smile.

"Well then... we'll be going~" She patted Xingxing's head and said, "Xingxing, say goodbye to great-grandpa."

Xingxing waved at the tombstone, "Bye bye great-grandpa~"

Here is the translation with original HTML tags preserved:"Goodbye, Grandpa," said Xu Shaocheng.
