However, Wen Yan was not actually asleep; she was lying in bed texting Shen Jinghe.
The two discussed the photo that Su Yang posted in the group chat.
Shen Jinghe: 'What do you mean by that? Why are you frowning when you see me?'
Wen Yan: 'Hehe, do you really want to know? But I'm afraid you'll get suicidal if I tell you.'
Shen Jinghe: 'Really? I don't believe it. Tell me about it.'
Wen Yan: 'Hmm...it's nothing really, it's just that your zipper is down.'
Shen Jinghe: '…………'
Then Shen Jinghe disappeared for a few minutes.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Wen Yan quickly sent him a message.
He didn't reply to her several messages, so Wen Yan immediately called him again.
The other party answered quickly, and their tone was one of gritted teeth.
"Wen Yan! You'd better be telling the truth. No, you'd better not be."
"Um...you weren't out checking things out for those few minutes you disappeared, were you? I was just kidding! Didn't you see the messages I sent you later?"
"...You're dead, really. What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"what?"
"I'll come back and kill you."
"Well, I need to have a job. If I remember correctly, there's some kind of announcement coming up tomorrow."
"Really? Then I'll contact He Xing now to confirm."
"No, no, no, I was just kidding. I'm off tomorrow and will stay home. But if you're busy, you don't need to come back to see me!"
"Hmph, don't worry, I won't come back to see you on purpose, but I will come back to see Chen Pili on purpose. But you'd better not wander around, because it's very cold outside now, and I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if you go out."
"Thank you for your concern! Actually, I'd like to hang up now. Bye-bye."
"Wait! I'll bring some treats for Shen Pili when I come back tomorrow. Of course, I can bring some for you too. I'm in H City now, and there's a famous sweet cake here. Do you want some?"
"don't want!"
"Why? It can't be because... But I was just kidding you. I wouldn't really kill you; that would be illegal."
"...That's good! Bring some back so we can all have a taste."
"So delicate!"
"Laughing"
Shen Jinghe chuckled: "Alright, hang up now, you childish brat."
"Yeah, you childish kid is hanging up now, bye-bye."
After putting away her phone, Wen Yan immediately turned off the lights and prepared to go to sleep.
In the study on the second floor, Shen Jingxiu was repeatedly editing the same message on his phone.
However, he felt it wasn't quite right no matter what, and ultimately he chose to give up.
The next day, while having breakfast, Wen Yan discovered that Shen Jingxiu was also at home.
She greeted him with a smile, "Big brother's back! Did you come back last night?"
“Hmm,” Shen Jingxiu nodded to Wen Yan, “You were already asleep when I got back. You look well, so you must have had a good rest.”
"Yes! I put down my phone and went to sleep around 10 p.m. last night. I heard from Mom that you started working overtime as soon as you got back to China. You should get some rest. Work is never-ending, but your health is more important."
“Okay,” Shen Jingxiu replied, “I understand.”
It turned out that she was still awake at around 10 p.m., and he got home at just past 9 p.m.
"Oh right, I love rock candy fruit, thank you big brother! I'm so lucky to have the best brothers in the world! ...Here, have a hot shrimp dumpling, big brother. Mom and Dad, you can have some too."
"Alright, alright," Su Yang said with a smile, pulling Wen Yan down to sit. "Stop busying yourself like a busy little bee. Sit down and eat. We'll help ourselves."
As she spoke, Su Yang sighed.
"Sigh, our Yan Yan is so wonderful. What will happen if she marries into another family in the future? Mom will definitely miss you."
"That's easy!" Wen Yan smiled. "Then I won't get married! There are plenty of people who don't get married these days, one more won't make a difference. Anyway, the family won't be able to stop me, right Dad, right Big Brother?"
Shen Yuan smiled faintly: "Although whether or not you get married is your own choice, we as parents certainly hope that our children will find someone who understands them and will spend their lives with them."
Shen Yuan's words made sense, and Wen Yan nodded in agreement: "But I think these things also depend on fate. Besides, I'm still young, and my career is on the rise. I want to enjoy being free and happy on my own for a few more years. And I don't want to get married so early. I want to date first! To have a sweet romance!"
Upon hearing Wen Yan's words, Shen Jingxiu couldn't help but look up at her.
fall in love?
In the adult world, sweet romances are probably hard to come by.
He suddenly remembered that Wen Yan had once complained in her heart about his age.
Come to think of it, I am five years older than her after all.
He frowned: "That's right, you're still young. It's too early to talk about marriage now. This will always be your home. I think you should focus on your career and interests right now. That's how you realize your self-worth, and once you realize your self-worth, you won't feel lost."
Shen Yuan and Su Yang: "…………"
Is the sun rising in the west? It's rare to see the eldest son use this kind of rhetoric with his family.
Wen Yan seemed to have found a kindred spirit.
"Brother is right! That's what I think too! I also think I should focus on my career now."
Shen Jingxiu hummed in agreement: "It's good that you think that way. By the way, Mom and Dad, I'm coming home for dinner tonight."
