Chapter 108
It takes more than an hour to drive from the airport to Shen's villa.
After eating the cake, Wen Yan couldn't resist her fatigue and took another nap.
When she groggily opened her eyes, she found herself leaning on Shen Jingxiu's shoulder.
Feeling a dampness on the corner of her lips, she immediately sat up.
[Oh no, I'm drooling! Oh my god, how embarrassing! How could I have slept on him?!]
Shen Jingxiu hadn't noticed at first, but after hearing Wen Yan's thoughts, he subconsciously looked down at his shoulder.
The water stains on the black suit fabric were not very obvious, but they could still be seen if you looked closely.
Seeing that he was also looking towards the 'crime scene', Wen Yan immediately stretched out her sleeves and quickly wiped that area.
"I'm so sorry, brother. I don't usually drool when I sleep in a normal position. Let me wipe it for you. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright." Shen Jingxiu gently grasped Wen Yan's wrist to stop her movement.
He quickly let go of it, saying, "It's nothing to worry about. You don't need to take it to heart at all."
After saying that, he smiled at Wen Yan and leaned over to open the car door for her: "We're here, get out."
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.
He smiled? He actually smiled at me just now. I think this is the first time I've ever seen him smile in all the time we've known each other.
[His arms are really long; he opened the car door without even touching me.]
Why doesn't he smile more often? He looks much better when he smiles.
Wen Yan got out of the car while her thoughts were all jumbled up.
The driver had just taken Wen Yan's suitcase out of the trunk when Shen Jingxiu took it from her with a large hand.
"I'll do it."
After Shen Jingxiu finished speaking with the driver, he turned around and waited for Wen Yan to come over together.
"You look very tired. Should we go straight to our room and rest?"
"Ugh! I'm exhausted. I slept on and off a lot today, but none of my sleep was restful. Now that I'm home, I'm going to sleep like a log."
Shen Jingxiu nodded and pulled Wen Yan's suitcase all the way to her room on the third floor.
The two remained silent throughout, except for Wen Yan's final "thank you."
This even made Wen Yan think that seeing him smile at her in the car earlier was an illusion.

After taking another shower, Wen Yan put on loose and comfortable pajamas and collapsed onto her 1.8-meter-long bed.
When she woke up again, it was already completely dark.
I took out my phone and saw that it was already past nine o'clock at night.
Wen Yan's headache was caused by sleeping too much and sleeping poorly.
And she was woken up by hunger.
So she decided to go downstairs to find something to eat.
Wanting to clear her head, she chose to take the stairs. But when she got to the second floor, she suddenly heard Su Yang's voice.
It seemed that Su Yang was talking to Shen Jingxiu.
Wen Yan immediately walked towards Shen Jingxiu's study.
"Mom? Mom, you're back!"
Su Yang had just reached the door of Shen Jingxiu's study when she heard Wen Yan's voice and immediately stopped.
"Yan Yan, are you awake?"
"Yes!" Wen Yan immediately ran over and hugged Su Yang. "Mom, weren't you away on a business trip? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"I haven't seen you for many days in a row. Occasionally, when I open your live stream, I see how hard you are living in the wild. Mom must want to see you as soon as possible. So as soon as I finished my work, I came back overnight."
"Did you just arrive?"
"Hmm, it's been a while."
"Then why didn't you wake me up?"
"Why did I wake you up when you were sleeping so soundly? What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
"Yes!" Wen Yan nodded. "Mom, have you had dinner? If you haven't, let's eat together."
Su Yang rubbed her stomach: "I really haven't had time to eat yet, so let the kitchen cook two bowls of beef noodles."
"Okay!" Wen Yan immediately agreed. After thinking for a moment, she peeked into the study and asked with a smile, "Big brother, would you like some late-night snacks?"
Wen Yan had no idea what had happened while she was sleeping, but Shen Jingxiu's expression seemed rather unwell.
Upon further reflection, Su Yang's expression seemed a little serious when she turned to look at him just now.
Wen Yan's gaze unconsciously swept between the two of them.
Could they be hiding something from me? Could it be related to me?
Shen Jingxiu: "…………"
Su Yang: "…………" You saw through that?
Since that's the case, there's no need to hide it anymore; she'll find out about it sooner or later anyway.
"Yan Yan, please come in. I have something to tell you."
Wen Yan: "…………" Oh wow, it really is something related to me.
And it's definitely not a good thing.
"Mom, Wen Yan, please sit down." Shen Jingxiu stood opposite Wen Yan and handed her a tablet computer.
Wen Yan took it, and the first thing that caught her eye was a photo of her getting into a car at the airport exit.
"Isn't that me? When you picked me up from the airport, big brother?" Wen Yan subconsciously looked up at Shen Jingxiu in front of her. "Were you secretly photographed?"
"Take another look at the comments from netizens."
After finishing filming "Jungle Diary," Wen Yan returned to A-shares. Fans enthusiastically greeted her at the airport, but she suddenly disappeared – apparently, she got into a luxury car driven by a wealthy patron.
'I knew it! Which upstart actress in the entertainment industry doesn't have a sugar daddy? Could they become famous without someone promoting them?'
"Exactly, the entertainment industry is never short of beautiful women. Wen Yan is indeed quite pretty, but in their circle, she's just average. So why is she the one who became famous? She must be being kept by a sugar daddy."
'I heard she's exceptionally good in that area. Look at this photo—her waist and hips, that shape, what man wouldn't love that?'
'It's a pity I didn't see what the man inside the car looked like, nor did I get a picture of the license plate number.'
'This car must be the top-of-the-line model in the Bentley lineup.'
"..." Wen Yan was speechless. "I only slept for a few hours, and the outside world has developed like this?"
"This is completely baseless. It's just a picture at the beginning, and the rest is all made up."
However, compared to Shen Jingxiu's dark face, Wen Yan wasn't actually particularly angry.
Because these rumors and scandals are commonplace in the eyes of people in the entertainment industry.
Some people will even deliberately create and fabricate such news to gain exposure.
Of course, she wouldn't do that; trying to grab attention in this way would only lead to her being forgotten by the public very quickly.
Only a continuous stream of excellent works can make an audience remember you forever.
Thinking of this, Wen Yan immediately returned the tablet to Shen Jingxiu, sat up straight, and said:
"I'm so sorry, brother, I've dragged you into this! Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll cooperate to clarify things!"
