"..." Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan, who were gossiping together, looked as if they had seen a ghost when they heard Shen Jinghe's voice.
The two asked in unison, "What are you doing here? Didn't you leave early this morning?"
"???" Shen Jinghe was speechless. "Who told you I left early this morning? Are you two dreaming? And having the same dream?"
The two of them said in unison again, "That's what Aunt Zhang said!"
"Is it possible that she made a mistake?"
"Haha," Wen Yan chuckled awkwardly, "Obviously, that's the truth. But it's alright, these few dishes are actually enough for the three of us. Come on, come on, Second Brother, you're the boss here today, please take a seat."
Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan, who was fawning over him, and frowned slightly.
"There's no need for the seat of honor. And don't try to change the subject; you haven't answered my question yet."
"Huh?" Wen Yan struggled to explain, "What problem? Did we say anything?"
Shen Jinghe frowned even more: "You two have secrets? You can't escape them."
As he spoke, he placed his still-connected phone on the table.
It turns out he had been on the phone the whole time!
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Su Yang, who was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her daughter.
Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan: "!!!!"
Wen Yan lowered her voice: "Did Mom hear that??"
"What do you think? You two are acting like there's no one else in this house. I'm so close to you, it's impossible for me not to hear you."
As soon as Shen Jinghe finished speaking, Su Yang's anxious voice came through the phone.
"Yan Yan, Jing Chuan, what exactly is going on? I clearly heard you say something about someone who disdains coming to the Shen family to acknowledge their ancestors. Who are you talking about? Jing He, is the phone on speakerphone? Turn it on, I want to talk to Yan Yan and Jing Chuan."
"Um... Mom, my second brother has turned on the speakerphone, so we can all hear you."
"That's good!" Su Yang's voice was noticeably more anxious than before. "Then tell me what exactly happened? Is it related to Zhi Rou? Because besides Zhi Rou, I can't think of anyone else who needs to return to the Shen family to acknowledge their ancestors."
Wen Yan: "…………"
Although she had promised Qin Yulong to keep it a secret from her parents for the time being, this time she shouldn't be considered to have leaked it on her own initiative, right?
To be honest, she was just discovered?
However, on this issue, even a two-second hesitation is enough to say everything.
Su Yang didn't wait for Wen Yan's answer: "I understand. Yan Yan, you and Jing Chuan don't go anywhere now. I'll be back soon. You two wait for me at home."
After saying that, Su Yang hung up the phone.
The restaurant fell silent instantly, leaving only the three people staring at each other.
Finally, Shen Jinghe broke the silence first.
He narrowed his eyes at Chen Jingchuan: "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you unhappy?"
Yes, my mom was already worried and anxious before things even got any clearer... She can't blame herself for this, can she?
Since he couldn't blame himself, he could only blame Shen Jinghe.
"Couldn't you finish your phone call before coming to the restaurant? Why are you standing behind someone and listening to them talk while you're on the phone?"
"...Am I some stranger? Do I need to distinguish between the dining room and living room to make a phone call in my own home? Who told you to be deaf and not hear my footsteps coming from here?"
"With such a thick blanket on the floor and you wearing such soft slippers, no one can hear you!!"
"So what? Can you turn back time or something? If not, then shut your mouth and stop talking nonsense. If those words hadn't come out of your mouth, then there wouldn't be any problem. You should reflect on your own behavior first."
Wen Yan: "…………Why don't you two brothers stop arguing? Arguing hurts your relationship."
"Say something hurtful?" Upon hearing Wen Yan say those three words, Shen Jinghe immediately stood up from his seat.
He then pulled out a chair next to Wen Yan and sat down beside her.
He approached Wen Yan, his handsome face showing a hint of anger.
"You have the nerve to talk to me about hurting feelings. If I'm not mistaken, the shipping magnate's daughter you're talking about should be Qin Yulong, right? I don't know what her relationship with Zhirou is, nor do I know why you're saying she's acknowledging her ancestors or anything like that, but you and the fourth brother have a secret. How come I'm not worthy to know? Tell me, since I've already found out, it's not too late to tell me now."
"Hehe..." Wen Yan laughed awkwardly, "To be honest, Second Brother, I didn't even plan to tell Fourth Brother at first, because I had promised Qin Yulong to keep it a secret for the time being. But who knew that Fourth Brother would happen to run into us that day."
"Okay then, I've run into you today, so you'd better deal with it yourself."
"Who says otherwise, haha. That's what I think too. It's not my fault for being so loose-lipped and unable to keep a secret; it's just that I got caught. But I think I should still call Qin Yulong first. I have to respect her, right?"
"Sure, you can play right here."
"Haha, I'm afraid that won't work. My phone is still charging in my room upstairs, and I have to go back to my room! I'll go up first then, you two eat first, don't wait for me. Because I suddenly feel less hungry."
After Wen Yan finished speaking, she disappeared in a flash.
She never expected that Su Yang would find out about this before Qin Yulong had even given her any news.
And she let it slip while she was chatting with Shen Jingchuan TT
