He stood in front of the desk, bending slightly to turn off the computer, and said to Wen Yan.
"Go back to your room and get a coat. I'll wait for you in the car."
"Okay!" To avoid wasting any juice, Wen Yan simply tilted her head back and finished the rest of the juice in the glass.
After putting down her cup, she suggested to Shen Jingxiu, "Why don't you wait for me in the living room, big brother? I want to tidy myself up a bit, I look a little unkempt right now."
Shen Jingxiu wanted to say that her so-called 'untidy' appearance was actually quite natural and beautiful, but since she was going to visit her biological mother's cemetery, and it was the first time in so many years, she naturally had to be more solemn.
He understood all of this: "It's okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry. I just have a few more phone calls to make."
His phone rang as if he was in a hurry to verify that what he said was true; the phone had barely finished speaking when it started ringing.
Wen Yan immediately waved her hand at him: "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm going back to my room. I promise I'll be there as soon as possible."
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "No rush, go ahead."
"Okay!" Wen Yan said, and then ran off.
Watching her hurried figure disappear into the distance, Shen Jingxiu's lips curled up slightly.
This is how she should have been.
As for those who almost destroyed her happiness, Shen Jingxiu narrowed his eyes and answered the phone.
He deliberately waited until Wen Yan was far away, making sure she wouldn't hear his voice, before answering the call.
"Yes, do as he says, don't be soft on him."
The phone call ended quickly, and Shen Jingxiu packed his things and walked straight out of the villa.
-
Wen Yan spent less than ten minutes applying light makeup. Then she specially picked out a black coat from her wardrobe and put it on.
After everything was ready, she hurriedly ran upstairs with her bag.
She first went to check Shen Jingxiu's study. Seeing that the door was locked, she knew that Shen Jingxiu was definitely not there at the moment.
She quickly went downstairs, but Shen Jingxiu wasn't in the lobby either. It was obvious he was still waiting in his car.
Wen Yan quickly changed her shoes and went out.
The moment she appeared in the entrance hall, Shen Jingxiu immediately drove his car over.
As soon as I opened the passenger door, a blast of warm air hit me.
"It's so warm in the car," Wen Yan exclaimed. "I wish I hadn't worn a coat. So, big brother, have you been waiting long? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the living room?"
"I didn't have to wait long. I just happened to come early to turn on the heating." Shen Jingxiu wasn't wearing a coat, only a gray turtleneck sweater. He looked very casual and warm, a stark contrast to his usual cold demeanor.
He even helped Wen Yan take off her coat.
"Give it to me, I'll put it at the back for you."
Wen Yan initially wanted to say no, but after thinking for a second, she decided to accept Shen Jingxiu's service.
Well, what can you do when he has long arms? It seems to be more convenient for him than for me.
Hearing Wen Yan's thoughts, Shen Jingxiu was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Even if his arms are long, he can't reach the back seat of the car unless he throws it.
So after taking the coat from Wen Yan, he immediately opened the car door and got out.
"Huh? Big brother," Wen Yan was a little surprised, but she quickly fell silent.
Because she saw that Shen Jingxiu not only put her coat in the back seat of the car, but also brought over a delicate paper bag.
She couldn't help but nod inwardly.
[It turns out he went to get something; otherwise, I would have felt so embarrassed if he had gone out of his way to put my clothes away.]
[But what did he mention? Could it be for me? Oh no, no, no, I shouldn't think that way. It would be awkward if it wasn't for me.]
Therefore, when Shen Jingxiu returned, Wen Yan deliberately pretended to look straight ahead.
"Alright, now we can set off."
"Okay." Shen Jingxiu chuckled, and as he started the car, he handed the exquisite black paper bag to Wen Yan. "This is for you."
To prevent her from making wild guesses, Shen Jingxiu revealed the answer before she opened the paper bag.
"It's chocolate. Eating sweets in moderation can improve your mood; perhaps you need some."
"No one knows me better than my older brother! I haven't had dessert in ages. You have no idea how sought-after it was when we were filming in the mountains. A piece of dark chocolate, less than the size of my palm, was divided up by more than a dozen of us. Each of us only got a tiny bit. I've been missing it so much."
"Then you can eat your fill this time. No, you can't eat too much at once."
"Don't worry about this, brother. I know what I'm doing. I'm not a three-year-old anymore."
As Wen Yan spoke, she eagerly opened the paper bag.
The moment Wen Yan opened the cardboard box, her eyes lit up.
"Wow, what unique shapes! And each one looks like it tastes different. Which brand of chocolate is this?"
Before even tasting it, Wen Yan was already eager to recommend it.
She flipped the box over and found a small card. She recognized the letters except for the production date, but the combination of the letters was unfamiliar to her.
Holding the card, she glanced at Shen Jingxiu with an awkward smile: "You didn't bring this back from your business trip abroad, did you?"
“Hmm,” Shen Jingxiu glanced quickly at Wen Yan, “I originally prepared one for each of you, but they’re not home. Try it.”
