Lin Shen's courtyard is not far from here, just around the corner.

After leaving the house, he stood outside for a while and saw Xia Wenxi enter the house and turn off the light in the main room.

After a while, a light came on in one of the rooms upstairs, and Lin Shen turned and left.

He took his phone out of his pocket, and unsurprisingly, WeChat messages kept popping up.

The messages were all sent by the same person.

Xia Wensheng: [Isn't President Lin busy with work?]

It seems Lin's Group hasn't been doing well lately, hence the CEO's leisurely lifestyle.

How about I introduce you to a couple of business opportunities?

Wow, that's impressive!

My sister still needs to study, you're not allowed to disturb her!!!

Lin Shen stopped and replied to each question.

Although I'm busy, I still need to balance work and rest. It's time to get off work now.

[Lin's business has been doing quite well lately, thank you for your concern, Chairman Xia]

【Thanks】

【Thank you for the compliment】

Don't worry, it won't bother you.

Upon seeing the reply, Xia Wensheng typed rapidly on his keyboard, then typed "I wasn't praising you!" before putting down his phone.

"You're so shameless."

Xia Wensheng sat there and thought about the scene of Lin Shen calling him "brother" in the future, and then he felt a little better.

Then she went to send a message to Minghuan.

Huanhuan, are you asleep? Can I come find you?

He desperately needs some comfort right now.

Minghuan: [You're still awake? You just got off work? Don't come any closer, go home and rest early.]

I want to see you

Minghuan: 【…I have to get up early tomorrow】

Upon seeing this, Xia Wensheng knew that Huanhuan had agreed to go, so he asked the driver to take him there directly.

I just want to see you, I won't do anything else, you're worried about me sleeping in the study at night.

Minghuan has a lot planned for tomorrow, so of course he won't do anything reckless. He just wants to...

"Huanhuan, you don't know! Lin Shen went to find Wenxi!"

"Wenxi isn't even in the city anymore, yet he went there right after work on Friday. How come he's so free?"

As soon as Xia Wensheng said he was coming, Minghuan started boiling water to cook noodles, knowing that he had just gotten off work and probably hadn't eaten properly.

As soon as Xia Wensheng entered the door, he began to "complain" about Lin Shen. Ming Huan shook his head and pulled him into the kitchen to wash his hands.

"If you want to eat noodles, wash your hands and then go to the restaurant and sit down."

Xia's complaining stopped abruptly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

I obediently went to the sink and washed my hands.

"Let me do it, don't burn yourself."

Xia Wensheng didn't let Minghuan serve him noodles.

“I saw on the news that so-and-so, that pianist, has insured his hands and doesn’t do anything else.”

We have the means. Even if we don't buy insurance, we can at least hire a housekeeper. I'll find one for you; you don't need to do these things yourself.

Xia Wensheng had mentioned this before, but Ming Huan refused.

"No need. I'll hire a cleaning lady. Besides, I'm not a pianist, I'm just an orchestra worker, I'm not that precious."

"Who said that? Who said you're not precious?"

Minghuan got up and brought Xia Wensheng a spoon.

"Nobody told me, I told myself. You should eat quickly, otherwise the noodles will get soggy. I know what will happen, and I'll treat you if you need anything."

After a while, seeing that he was almost finished eating, Minghuan continued to talk to him about Xia Wenxi.

"I think that President Lin is quite fond of Wenxi. As her older brother, you can help your sister make some choices, but as for the rest, you should respect Wenxi's own wishes."

Xia wiped her mouth after hearing the sound, picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen to wash it. After washing it, she wiped the bowl until it shone.

Then he spoke up, "When have I ever interfered? If Wenxi likes Lin Shen, I can't stop her."

After saying that, he sighed, "I just feel that Lin Shen is too cunning. Xia Wenxi is no match for him."

"Being shrewd depends on where you apply your cunning. How many business people are simple-minded? Are you simple-minded in the business world?"

Xia Wensheng smiled upon hearing this.

He walked over and nuzzled his girlfriend's face, "Is Huanhuan praising me?"

“I’m talking to you about something serious. Wenxi is much smarter than you think, so don’t look down on her.”

The clever Xia Wenxi got up early on Saturday, studied all morning, and then took Xiaoyuer out to help cook (and eat something delicious).

She could smell the fragrance as soon as she turned the corner.

The houses here all have the same layout. Xia Wenxi saw that the courtyard gate was ajar, so she pushed it open and went in.

Why didn't you wait for me to start the fire? Am I too late?

"It's not late. Isn't this the time we agreed to meet? The big pot over there is simmering soup, it'll take a while, so I'll start cooking it now. The small pot is still waiting for you here."

Xia Wenxi looked and, sure enough, only one of the two pots was being used for cooking.

Quickly put the cat down, sit down, and begin your great fire-making endeavor.

"I had to try several times to light it, you're really good at it."

Xia Wenxi initially thought Lin Shen was deliberately flattering her, but when she looked up at him, she found him staring intently at the fire.

It made people feel that his words truly came from the bottom of his heart.

"There's a skill involved in this. I'm not good at cooking, so I can only work on my fire-making skills."

Air conditioning was installed in the kitchen, but it was still hot in early September.

The fires in both stoves were burning brightly, and the steam rising from them hit Xia Wenxi's face.

Lin Shen's gaze shifted from the fire in the stove to her face.

Xia Wenxi suddenly felt a little hot and thirsty.

She swallowed hard and whispered, "Lin Shen, the pot, the pot's hot, can we put the oil in now?"

Lin Shen snapped out of his daze, straightened up, and poured some oil into the pot.
