"Okay, thank you, brother! Mmm~ delicious. This matcha one even has a molten center inside, it's really amazing. Does this store have any branches in City A?"
Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly: "There shouldn't be any. This shop is handmade. The owners are a husband and wife who have been making chocolates for decades. It is said that their molds alone fill two large cabinets, and they sell different shapes of chocolates every day. If you like them, I can buy some for you later."
“Okay,” Wen Yan said, not intending to be polite with her older brother. “Then next time you go on a business trip, bring back a few more boxes for me. I’ll keep them in the refrigerator.”
"good."
"Have you tried them all?"
"I ate two, but I didn't try them all."
"Would you like one?"
"good."
Shen Jingxiu adjusted the steering wheel, just about to reach out to take it, when he caught sight of a delicate little hand holding a brown chocolate to its lips.
He paused for a moment, then somewhat belatedly opened his mouth and put the chocolate in his mouth.
Sweet, exceptionally sweet.
It seemed sweeter than any dessert he had ever eaten before.
The chocolate melted in her mouth, as smooth as her movements.
Shen Jingxiu felt he should say something at this moment, otherwise... he would think he was very strange.
He suddenly asked Wen Yan, "Since you started filming, have you not had time to go shopping? If you don't have time or it's inconvenient for you to go to the store, you can have them deliver the clothes to your home."
When he was putting on Wen Yan's coat earlier, he noticed that it was a style from several years ago.
If he remembered correctly, it was Su Yang who arranged for them to purchase these items several years ago.
That year, black was especially popular for women's clothing, and Su Yang prepared a set for everyone in her family during the Chinese New Year.
As for why he remembered this so clearly... it's because he had never seen any parents give all their family members black coats during the Chinese New Year.
Wen Yan is such a beautiful girl who loves beauty, how could she wear an old style from several years ago?
Wen Yan had no idea that Shen Jingxiu was thinking this way.
She chose this dress for two reasons.
First, she wanted to choose a more formal color.
Secondly, she wanted to wear the original owner's clothes today, since the one resting in the grave and the original owner were a 100% biological mother and daughter.
However, Shen Jingxiu's words were not wrong.
Wen Yan nodded: "I am indeed very busy, but it seems like I have enough clothes. Well, no, I should say I don't have a chance to wear them. When I'm filming, I'm basically wearing costumes, and when I'm not filming, I'm mostly dressed casually. Sigh, I should find some time to go on vacation after the New Year. I can dress up beautifully every day, eat and drink, take pictures, how fun that would be! By the way..."
Wen Yan suddenly turned to look at Shen Jingxiu: "Do you rarely take vacations?"
"Yes, I'm quite busy with work."
"Don't you ever have free time, or at least manage to squeeze out some time?"
Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly.
He's rarely asked this question, and he doesn't usually discuss it with others.
However, if Wen Yan asked, he wouldn't mind answering.
"Actually, there was a relatively relaxed period when I was studying, and I had more freedom back then. But after joining the company, I was eager to prove my abilities. As a result, after my abilities were recognized, I became busier than before, and my responsibilities became greater and greater. As a result, I had less and less time to rest."
"That won't do. We need to balance work and rest. How about we take a family trip after Mom and Dad come back from abroad this time, so we can relax together? We should have a few days off during the Chinese New Year, right? Even if you want to work overtime, your company employees won't be happy about it."
Shen Jingxiu chuckled: "Overtime is not mandatory, but overtime pay is five times the normal rate."
"Five times? Ha, capitalists, isn't that an obvious temptation?"
Shen Jingxiu chuckled again: "You never forget to think about the whole family. But it's not easy for the whole family to get together for several days. I think you shouldn't wait for the whole family. I'll arrange it for you whenever you're free."
"You're making arrangements for me, but are you also making arrangements for my playmate? It's so boring to be alone, there's not even anyone to take pictures with. You should come with me."
Shen Jingxiu paused for two seconds: "It's not impossible. Then we'll wait for your notification."
"That works too. We can also call Fourth Brother. He has plenty of time and is almost always available."
Shen Jingxiu unconsciously tapped his fingers on the steering wheel twice: "His club is gradually getting on track, and he'll probably be very busy for a while."
"I'm busy, that's fine. It's still far from certain. Do you want another chocolate? If not, I'll put it away."
Shen Jingxiu did not immediately answer Wen Yan's question, but instead asked:
"Is it enough to just have someone go out with you? What if it's your second child?"
“Second brother,” Wen Yan said without hesitation, “of course that would be great, but he seems very busy, much busier than me. But that just shows he needs rest too. By the way, do you still want the chocolate? If not, I’ll put it away.”
Shen Jingxiu glanced at Wen Yan and said, "No, thank you."
Once the car reaches the suburbs, it can accelerate.
Shen Jingxiu sped up the car, and they arrived at Yongfu Cemetery at 1:30 pm.
After inquiring about the location of the three tombstones from the cemetery staff, the two entered the cemetery area.
