Chapter 339: 339. Enjoyment, Married Life
Unable to hear the anticipated voice, Li Chengyun’s handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly. There was something distinctly out of character about Shi Yuhuan today.
What had happened that abruptly put him in such a good mood that he not only forgave Si Chen, but also attended Si Chen’s birthday party?
Suddenly, a delicate face flashed through his mind.
Song Qinghuan? The transformation in Shi Yuhuan, supposedly because of him, seemed somewhat far-fetched.
“Brother!” Shi Annuo and Li Qianze sat down next to him. Apart from Li Chengyun, only these two dared to approach and speak; no one else dared to provoke Shi Yuhuan.
Si Chen was also somewhat reluctant to approach him, but his eyes would nevertheless occasionally break through the crowd and land on Shi Yuhuan.
He didn’t expect Shi Yuhuan to wish him a happy birthday, his presence alone was satisfaction enough.
However, he still wanted to approach Shi Yuhuan and express his gratitude. Just then, Shi Yuhuan’s phone rang. It was Song Qinghuan asking him where he was.
Shi Yuhuan didn’t tell her where he was, just that he was on his way home. After hanging up, he stood up: “You all continue, I’ll take my leave.”
Li Chengyun smirked, throwing a casual question at him: “Don’t tell me, you’re actually starting to enjoy your married life?”
Shi Yuhuan gave him an indifferent glance and, without saying a word, walked away.
Si Chen, who witnessed this scene, felt his good mood evaporate without a trace.

When Song Qinghuan returned home, she found out that Shi Yuhuan was still out. The lights in the villa were off, making her unwilling to return to the main villa and be alone with Jin Lin, but she didn’t have the keys to the smaller villa.
Regardless of her reluctance, she went in.
After a call with Shi Yuhuan and knowing he would be home soon, Song Qinghuan happily hummed a little tune as she went to the kitchen to prepare some late-night snacks to bring to the smaller villa.
Just as she was about to carry out the freshly cooked pasta, she saw Jin Lin standing at the kitchen door.
She jumped in surprise: “Why are you suddenly standing behind me and scaring me like that?”
Jin Lin sneered: “Scared like this, have you done something guilty?”
Song Qinghuan was utterly fed up with her sarcasm. She couldn’t manage a smile and said with irritation: “Please, don’t you know that it’s scary to suddenly stand behind someone silently in the middle of the night?”
Jin Lin mocked her: “Oh, Shi Yuhuan isn’t home, and you don’t feel like pretending anymore? Wasn’t it you who happily greeted me this morning even though you dislike me?
Song Qinghuan frowned, very dissatisfied: “I was being courteous to you only because of Shi Yuhuan, as you are his aunt. But that doesn’t mean I can tolerate your constant resentment and unreasonable scolding. I’ve put up with you for a long time. How Shi Yuhuan and I relate with each other is our business. You’re just Shi Yuhuan’s aunt, where do you get off ordering me around?”
She wanted to leave. As she was about to pass Jin Lin, Jin Lin slapped the pasta from her hand, sending it crashing to the floor.
The bowl shattered with a ‘snap’, and the pasta scattered all over the floor.
Jin Lin coldly scolded: “I am Shi Yuhuan’s aunt. This identity alone is sufficient for me to order you around. With no mother-in-law to discipline you, it’s my duty as an aunt to instruct you on how to behave as a daughter-in-law of the Shi family.”
Song Qinghuan looked at her hard work scattered all over the floor, shock and disbelief filled her eyes.
She bit her lip, turned around, and looked at Jin Lin.
