Wen Yixing nodded: "I know, thank you for telling me all this."

Seeing that Wen Yixing's emotions remained stable, Meng Yuzi also developed a good impression of her.

Ultimately, it was her fault in this matter. Meng Yuzi said softly, "Then I wish you a happy marriage. I will give you a big red envelope."

Wen Yixing was slightly taken aback: "Marriage?"

Meng Yuzi asked in confusion, "Aren't you two getting married?"

Wen Yixing said gently, "Not yet."

“I heard he’s started working on the old house the Shen family left him, the house his grandfather left him for his wedding,” Meng Yuzi said. “So I thought you two were about to get married. Sorry.”

By the time Wen Yixing left the coffee shop and returned home, it was already quite late. The housekeeper had prepared her favorite dishes, and after eating a simple meal and taking a shower, Wen Yixing came out of the bathroom and sat down at the table to read for a while.

Unfortunately, she couldn't calm down.

Just then, her phone on the table vibrated a few times; it was a video call from Shen Jingshao.

Wen Yixing answered the call.

With just one glance, Shen Jingshao sensed that something was wrong with her mood.

Shen Jingshao paused, then asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"No." Wen Yixing was somewhat stunned.

After a long while, she came to her senses, looked at him in the video, and slowly asked, "Shen Jingshao, do you want to get married?"

After a moment of silence, Wen Yixing heard him whisper on the other end of the video call, "Yes."

............

Shen Jingshao didn't want to lie to her; he really wanted to get married, something he had thought about for many years.

Hearing him say it himself, Wen Yixing felt her hands begin to tremble uncontrollably, and her heart began to ache.

She raised the camera higher, so Shen Jingshao couldn't see that something was wrong with her from the other side of the lens.

Wen Yixing remained calm on the surface. She subtly changed the subject, and after chatting for a few minutes, she said softly, "I'm a little sleepy."

Shen Jingshao said softly, "Go to sleep."

Wen Yixing nodded; "You should go to sleep early too."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yixing took a few deep breaths. She felt her mind was a bit confused and her body was also a little tired.

After turning off the lights, Wen Yixing lay on the bed, closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

There was a voice in my head constantly talking to her.

The Shen family is even more complicated than the Fang family. You've just gained your freedom; are you sure you want to jump into another fire pit?

He's no ordinary person; his world is bigger than you can imagine.

Shen Jingshao is not young anymore; he wants to get married. Can you give him the marriage he desires?

Your career is just starting out, are you going to give up?

The sound was chaotic and kept echoing in her mind.

Wen Yixing had a terrible headache and couldn't even tell whether the voice was from the system or from her own heart.

........

Fang Jingyao left home at eight o'clock in the morning to go to his street dance class. His mother was not yet awake when he left home.

He knew his mother had been busy and tired at work these days, so he assumed she was just catching up on sleep and didn't disturb her.

When he came home from school at 11:30, Fang Jingyao found that his breakfast hadn't been touched and the shoes by the door were still the same.

Is Mom still sleeping?

Fang Jingyao sensed something was wrong, so without even changing his shoes, he ran straight to his mother's bedroom.

The bedroom curtains were drawn tightly, allowing only a little light to seep in through the gaps.

Fang Jingyao turned on the bedroom light, ran to the bedside, and saw his mother covered with a blanket, her cheeks flushed, and sweat on her forehead.

Fang Jingyao immediately reached out and touched Wen Yixing's forehead; it was burning hot.

Just then, the nanny came in. Fang Jingyao looked up at the nanny and said anxiously, "Auntie, my mother has a fever."

The nanny came over, bent down, touched it, and sighed, "It really is."

"Let's take her temperature first, give her some fever-reducing medicine, and then we'll go to the hospital to check on her once she's more alert." After saying that, the nanny went to get the thermometer.

Wen Yixing was much more awake by this time, but her throat was terribly dry. When Fang Jingyao noticed that his mother was awake, he immediately took the cup next to him and carefully placed it in front of Wen Yixing: "Mom, have some water."

The nanny came over with a thermometer and, seeing that Wen Yixing was about to get up to drink water, quickly came over to help her.

After she finished drinking the water, the nanny started taking her temperature. Fang Jingyao watched worriedly from the side, but before he could say anything, his phone, which was on the bedside table, vibrated.

Fang Jingyao picked up the phone and saw that it was Shen Jingshao calling.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Jingyao pressed the call button: "Uncle Chen."

Shen Jingshao was surprised to see Fang Jingyao answer the phone. "Yaoyao?"

Fang Jingyao thought that Shen Jingshao was a man after all, and had strength, so he might as well use it. So he didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Uncle Shen, my mother has a fever."

There was a pause of a few seconds on Shen Jingshao's end, and then Fang Jingyao heard him ask, "What's your temperature? Have you taken any medication?"

Fang Jingyao looked up at his mother, who had taken her medicine and lay down with her eyes closed. He said, "Mom took the fever reducer, but she's still sleeping."

As she was speaking, Wen Yixing heard the voice, opened her eyes, and looked at her son with some confusion.

Fang Jingyao pointed to the phone in his hand and said, "Mom, it's Uncle Shen."

Seeing Wen Yixing reach out her hand, Fang Jingyao handed her his phone.

Upon realizing it was her on the phone, Shen Jingshao softened his tone and asked softly, "It's alright, I'll be there soon."
