Chapter 802: 803, fake (first update)

That was Shen Liangxiao’s car.

Today, neither Shen Haoguang nor Shen Liangxiao’s mother was at home; it was a godsend opportunity.

One must not disappoint the will of heaven.

Realizing this, she hurried into action.

Having stayed at the Shen family for a few days, Situ Ya had thoroughly figured out Shen Liangxiao’s temperament.

Shen Liangxiao, on the surface, appeared as a scholarly and refined reader, but deep down, he was quite the opposite.

One word was particularly fitting to describe him.

That was: a beast in human clothing.

As soon as Shen Liangxiao got out of the car, Situ Ya walked up to him and affectionately hooked her arm around his, speaking in a sweet tone, "Why have you come back so late today?"

Situ Ya’s sudden warmth made Shen Liangxiao somewhat uncomfortable.

Shen Liangxiao then asked, "Where are your mom and Haoguang?"

"They went out for something," Situ Ya answered with a smile, "Dad, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll go make some food for you."

While speaking, the two had reached the living room.

Yet Situ Ya still clung tightly to Shen Liangxiao’s arm.

He looked straight ahead, but covertly used his peripheral vision to size up Situ Ya next to him.

Just then, a saying suddenly came to his mind, "Don’t eat the grass by your own burrow!"

Shen Liangxiao withdrew his arm that Situ Ya was holding and continued, "I’m going upstairs to the study; you eat by yourself." After saying that, he left in haste, acting as though Situ Ya was some sort of ferocious beast.

Situ Ya watched Shen Liangxiao’s hurried figure with a low sneer. What a useless man Shen Liangxiao was!

"Then you go to the study first. I’ll bring the food over to you in a bit," Situ Ya said in a gentle tone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Liangxiao ran even faster, "No need! I’m not hungry."

Situ Ya watched Shen Liangxiao, a meaningful smile lifting the corners of her mouth.

About half an hour later.

Situ Ya, carrying a bowl of noodles, went upstairs and gently knocked on the door of the study, "I’ve brought you something to eat."

Listening to the noise inside, the corners of Situ Ya’s mouth curled into a scornful arc.

This Shen Liangxiao was truly a disgrace to the literati, lowering the whole class of scholars.

However, the noise inside soon stopped.

Then Shen Liangxiao’s voice came through, "Wait, wait a minute, don’t come in yet."

After making sure there was nothing amiss in the study, Shen Liangxiao straightened his collar and said to the outside, "Come in."

In an instant, Shen Liangxiao reverted to his frail scholar appearance.

Outside the study, Situ Ya’s face brightened with a sweet and charming smile. She then pushed open the wooden door and stepped inside gracefully.

Duanmu Sheng placed the tray on the desk, picked up the porcelain bowl, and handed it to Shen Liangxiao with a gentle tone, "I personally cooked these noodles for you. Try them and see if they taste good?"

"I’m not hungry. You eat it," Shen Liangxiao took a few steps backward.

Shen Liangxiao was not a man with particularly strong self-control, and he feared he could not restrain himself from doing something with Situ Ya.

"Just have a little?" she asked.

Shen Liangxiao angrily said, "Can’t you understand human speech? I said I won’t eat!"

Whether by accident or design, a whole bowl of noodles, with all its soup, was knocked over right onto Situ Ya’s chest.

Tears immediately sprang to Situ Ya’s eyes as she pitifully said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to."

Facing such a displayed vulnerability from Situ Ya, Shen Liangxiao’s heart instantly softened. He picked up a napkin from the table and began wiping the soup off Situ Ya, his eyes filled with more excitement than concern.

"Yaya, it’s me who should apologize! How is it, does it still hurt?" Shen Liangxiao asked with utmost concern.

"I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt at all..." Situ Ya pretended to be strong as she shook her head, her eyes still brimming with tears, making her look all the more pitiable.

"You got burned like this and you still say it doesn’t hurt?" Shen Liangxiao’s voice was full of heartache.

"It’s nothing, really, it doesn’t hurt," Situ Ya shook her head, then said, "Do you have any burn ointment here?"

"Yes, yes," Shen Liangxiao nodded hastily, "I’ll go get it for you right now."

Situ Ya said pitifully, "I’m troubling you."

Shen Liangxiao brought over the burn ointment, and Situ Ya continued, "Would you mind applying the ointment for me?"

Seeing Shen Liangxiao’s hesitation, Situ Ya said somewhat disappointedly, "If you don’t wish to, never mind! I’ll just wait for Haoguang to come back tonight and have him help me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Liangxiao immediately ran in front of Situ Ya, eyes shining, "Ya Ya, you misunderstood me, that’s not what I meant at all, I am the one who caused this, rest assured, I’ll definitely take responsibility for you."

"Are you really telling the truth?"

At that moment, Shen Liangxiao had no other thoughts in his mind except overpowering Situ Ya, he nodded quickly, "Really! Truer than a pearl!"

"I believe you," Situ Ya said with a faint smile.

Shortly after, something happened.

A stick of sandalwood was burning in the air.

This scene.

Somewhat surreal.

Very unreal.

But it was happening with utter reality.

**

Hospital.

Shen Haoguang and his mother asked the nurse for Duanmu Sheng’s room and then went there with bags and bags of nutritious goodies.

In the room, besides the sleeping Duanmu Sheng, there was no one else.

However, on the side table were plenty of fresh fruits and flowers, as well as a few disposable cups with unfinished tea in them.

Clearly, someone had visited before they arrived and had just left.

"Haoguang, just put the things there, then tidy up the cups on the table. Look how messy this place is!" Shen’s mother commanded, sounding very much like the lady of the house, without making any effort to lower her voice.

As a result, Duanmu Sheng was quickly awakened by the noise.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Haoguang and his mother in the room—the disgusting faces she despised!

The anger within Duanmu Sheng erupted at the sight of Shen Haoguang and his mother, she closed and reopened her eyes, only to find that the scene before her remained unchanged.

This was not her illusion!

Shen Haoguang and his mother had really come! They couldn’t possibly be here to take her back, could they? What should she do? Duanmu Sheng’s grip on the sheets tightened, her knuckles white with tension, her entire body trembling!

It didn’t take long for her to realize that she wasn’t actually married to Shen Haoguang! The marriage certificate was fake!

She was currently single!

With this realization, Duanmu Sheng finally managed to relax a bit, but her rage did not diminish in the slightest!

This disgusting mother and son pair! How could they have the audacity to show up?

She wished she could bite them to death!

How could she have been so foolish before!

Shen Haoguang and his mother were leisurely sipping tea on the sofa, and thus didn’t notice that Duanmu Sheng had woken up.

"Li Rulan! Shen Haoguang! What are you doing here? You’re not welcome here! Get out!" Duanmu Sheng said coldly, her eyes practically spitting fire!

It was only then that Shen Haoguang and Li Rulan realized, and Li Rulan turned back with a smile, "I knew our Sheng Sheng would be just fine, such good luck! See, you’re awake now, aren’t you? Sheng Sheng, do you want any fruit? Should mother get some for you?"

Li Rulan adopted the facade of a loving mother, as though Duanmu Sheng were her own flesh and blood.

All traces of her previous cruelty were no longer visible on her face.
