Chapter 134: Already 18 Years Old
TL: YYang
At 10 PM, at Songhu Tiandi.
After taking a shower, Shen Yuan changed into the pajamas Chen Na had bought for him and was lying on the big bed, scrolling through his phone.
Meanwhile, Chen Na and Shen Xuan, the two sisters-in-law, had hit it off right away and were still chatting in the living room at this late hour.
Shen Yuan didn’t know what they had so much to talk about.
It wasn’t until 10:30 that Chen Na carefully opened the bedroom door.
Seeing the faint light from the screen at the head of the bed, Chen Na knew Shen Yuan was still awake. She walked over quietly, sat on the edge of the bed, and said apologetically, “Sorry, we got carried away chatting just now.”
“It’s fine.”
Shen Yuan yawned. He was actually getting a little sleepy.
“We have to pick up my sister tomorrow morning. You still remember, right?” Chen Na reminded him gently.
“Yes, I remember.”
Shen Yuan thought to himself, ‘How could I forget something as important as picking up my sister-in-law?’
“Then what do you want for breakfast tomorrow? Still a fitness meal?” Chen Na asked again.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Speaking of fitness meals, Shen Yuan remembered that he had missed his fitness class today and wouldn’t be able to go tomorrow morning either. It seemed he would have to train harder when he got back the day after tomorrow.
The 2-year Eddie Peng experience card… just thinking about it was exciting.
The two were silent for a while. Chen Na suddenly put her hand into the quilt, lowered her head, and said shyly, “Then do you need me to help you… take care of it?”
The lights in the bedroom were off. Besides the light from Shen Yuan’s phone, there was only the bright moonlight shining in from the window, so the whole room had a hazy atmosphere.
Shen Yuan’s sleepiness vanished in an instant. He couldn’t help but look up. Chen Na shyly lowered her pretty face, her hand fumbling awkwardly under the quilt.
“Nana, let’s learn something new.”
“Huh? What new thing?”
Chen Na was a little confused and blinked her beautiful eyes.
Shen Yuan lifted the quilt.
“Mmm…”
The next morning, after finishing the fitness meal prepared by Chen Na, Shen Yuan prepared to head to Ling County.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan also wanted to go with him. Of course, Shen Yuan didn’t want his sister to ruin the atmosphere, so he refused on the spot and told her to stay at home with her sister-in-law.
Shen Xuan grumbled a few times but had to stay at home.
On the empty highway, Shen Yuan held the steering wheel with one hand, listening to Liang Bo’s “Sunset Boulevard,” and drove towards Ling County.
“We are searching in the middle of this road”
“We are lost at both ends of this road…”
“Every time the dusk sun renders everything”
Ling County.
Yu Shufen and Chen Yongxiang were at home helping their younger daughter pack the things she needed to take to Star City.
After learning that their elder daughter, Nana, was pregnant, the old couple was overjoyed and had been calling frequently these past few days to check on her.
Coincidentally, their younger daughter was also going to Star City, so they had gotten up early in the morning to go to the market and buy beef, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and a lot of fruit, which they could take to Star City to nourish their elder daughter.
“Xinyu, when you get to your sister’s place, you have to help her with the housework more, you know? She’s pregnant now and needs to rest. She can’t do heavy work,” Yu Shufen instructed while packing the food.
“I know,” Chen Xinyu replied in a low voice.
“Nana said her son-in-law will hire a nanny, so there probably won’t be much housework to do,” Chen Yongxiang said from the side.
Yu Shufen had a different opinion on this matter. “Actually, I don’t think it’s necessary to hire a nanny. If the family really needs someone to do the laundry and cooking, I can just go. It would save the money for a nanny’s salary.”
Chen Yongxiang shook his head. “Young people have their own living space. They definitely don’t like living with their elders.”
“Sigh~”
Yu Shufen sighed. “I still remember when I married into your family, I lived with your parents. Didn’t we live well back then?”
“What era are you talking about? Besides, that was out of necessity. Young people’s thinking has changed with the progress of society.”
“…”
After packing, Yu Shufen and Chen Yongxiang each carried a cardboard box downstairs, while Chen Xinyu followed behind with a backpack and a small suitcase in her hand.
The three of them waited for about 5 minutes when a Mercedes G-Wagon appeared in their sight. At first, they didn’t pay much attention to it because they remembered that Shen Yuan didn’t drive this car.
But when the G-Wagon stopped steadily in front of them, and Shen Yuan was in the driver’s seat, they were a little surprised.
After Shen Yuan got out of the car, Yu Shufen said in surprise, “Little Shen, you changed your car?”
“Yes.”
Shen Yuan smiled, then walked to the back of the car to open the trunk.
“This car isn’t cheap, is it?”
Yu Shufen couldn’t help but take a few more glances. At this time, Chen Yongxiang explained, “This is a Mercedes G-Wagon. I think it costs two or three million. About that.”
Shen Yuan wasn’t in the habit of showing off in front of his in-laws and replied casually.
Yu Shufen and her husband exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but click their tongues. It hadn’t been that long, and he had already bought a new car.
Speaking of which, they had also benefited greatly from their son-in-law. Not only had they moved into a new house, but they had also bought an Audi.
Their relatives and neighbors were very envious when they found out, all sighing that the Chen family had raised a good daughter.
When one person achieves success, their whole family benefits. This saying was not just for show.
Chen Xinyu stood quietly to the side, watching her brother-in-law move things.
Shen Yuan inadvertently turned his head and glanced at her.
This girl wasn’t wearing a school uniform today, but a white T-shirt. Because her big white rabbits were well-fed, her upper body was stretched to create a visually explosive effect.
‘What did this girl eat to grow up like this?’
‘Did the Chens feed Nana differently?’
Shen Yuan sighed inwardly, then reached out to help Chen Xinyu with her suitcase.
Chen Xinyu shyly dodged. “Brother-in-law, I can do it myself.”
Shen Yuan didn’t insist. Chen Xinyu’s small suitcase wasn’t heavy. She lifted it with both hands and tiptoed, wanting to put it in the trunk.
But the moment she lifted it, Chen Xinyu’s hands inadvertently touched her lower body, and her pair of big white rabbits bounced twice in response.
Shen Yuan’s eyelids twitched. They really looked impressive.
Chen Xinyu hadn’t expected this to happen either. Her pretty face immediately turned beet red. After putting down the suitcase, she quickly got into the car.
Shen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. This little girl was quite thin-skinned.
Chen Yongxiang and Yu Shufen also noticed their daughter’s strange behavior at this time. Xinyu’s personality was like this; she easily got shy around people she didn’t know well.
Yu Shufen was still instructing from beside the passenger seat, “Xinyu, when you get there, try not to cause too much trouble for your sister and brother-in-law. Help your sister with the housework more.”
This was actually meant for Shen Yuan to hear, but Shen Yuan thought to himself, ‘How could my sister-in-law cause trouble?’
Then he closed the trunk and got into the driver’s seat. “Uncle, Auntie, we’ll be going then.”
“Okay, be safe. I’ll leave Xinyu in your care. This child doesn’t talk much, so please bear with her on the way,” Chen Yongxiang reminded him, a little worried.
“Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of our Xinyu,” Shen Yuan deliberately provoked him a little.
Chen Yongxiang’s mouth twitched, and he felt a faint sense of unease.
It wasn’t until the G-Wagon was out of sight that Chen Yongxiang sighed, “I don’t know if it was right to let Xinyu go to her sister’s place.”
Yu Shufen was a little puzzled. “Is there anything inappropriate about it?”
“Sigh~ It’s nothing.”
“…”
The G-Wagon was back on the highway. This time, Shen Yuan’s passenger seat was no longer empty, but occupied by his well-endowed sister-in-law.
But his sister-in-law was quite shy, and because of the little incident just now, she was even more embarrassed. Her face was still red, and she kept her head down without speaking.
“Xinyu, you did well on the college entrance exam, right?” Shen Yuan started a conversation.
“Uh… I think… I think I did okay,” Chen Xinyu replied in a low voice with her head down.
“Where do you want to apply to?”
“Um… Star City, I guess.”
“Star City is great. Your sister and I are both there. And you won’t have to live in a dorm in the future. You can just live at your sister’s place. We’ve saved a room for you.”
Hearing her brother-in-law’s kind arrangement, Chen Xinyu raised her head and secretly glanced at her brother-in-law who was driving. “I’m afraid… I’m afraid I’ll disturb you.”
“What’s there to disturb? Your sister gets bored at home alone. You can keep her company if you live at home. I don’t live at home often.”
“Um… then I’ll ask my sister for her opinion.”
“Okay.”
Chen Xinyu, a sheep who had just graduated from high school, still didn’t know that she had been targeted by a big bad wolf.
While Shen Yuan was driving, Chen Xinyu would always sneak a few glances at him. He was younger than her sister and not much older than herself.
He had sharp, well-defined features and a roguish smile, giving him the air of a bad boy from school.
But when he spoke to her, he was very gentle, which made her feel that Shen Yuan also had the vibe of a big brother next door.
The combination of the two formed his unique charm.
Furthermore, she also had a sense of gratitude towards Shen Yuan.
Because he was the one who had brought about a dramatic change in her family. They had bought a new house and a new car. Her parents, respected and envied by their neighbors, had been beaming with happiness and contentment recently.
And all of this was thanks to Shen Yuan.
So much so that when she saw Shen Yuan today, her heart felt like a deer in the headlights.
She couldn’t explain why it was like this. Perhaps it was because she didn’t know Shen Yuan well?
But when she was with other people she didn’t know well, it didn’t seem to be like this.
Suddenly, for some reason, Chen Xinyu’s mind flashed back to that night…
Thinking of this, Chen Xinyu’s face turned hot and red.
Shen Yuan glanced over while driving and wondered to himself, ‘Why is this girl’s face still so red?’
Just as he was about to turn his head back, Shen Yuan suddenly noticed that a favorability rating had appeared above the girl’s head.
[Favorability: 60]
???
Shen Yuan was stunned.
It wasn’t there just now. How did it suddenly appear?
The key was, he hadn’t even started to make his move yet.
‘Did this girl develop some incredible filter for me?’
‘Is she trying to tempt me into committing a crime?’
After pondering for a long time, Shen Yuan suddenly asked, “Xinyu, have you gotten your driver’s license yet?”
“Not yet.”
“Are you old enough to get one?”
“Yes, I am.”
Hearing Chen Xinyu’s answer, Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and instantly felt unburdened.
‘Good, as long as she’s 18.’
“My sister is also getting her driver’s license. You can sign up with her. Driving is a skill you’ll have to master sooner or later.”
“Okay.”
After another 2 hours of driving, the two finally arrived at Songhu Tiandi before 1 PM. Before entering the underground garage, Shen Yuan called Shen Xuan and asked her to come down and help with the things.
After receiving the call, Shen Xuan and Chen Na went downstairs together. When she saw the beautiful girl, she subconsciously swallowed.
‘That big?’
Then she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at her sister-in-law’s chest.
‘This…’
‘Are you sure they came from the same womb?’
Finally, she looked down at herself.
Flat as a runway, nothing to see…
‘Alright, alright, so I’m the smallest one here, right?’
