"Say something, Wen Yan. If you really like him, you don't need to be shy."
Wen Yan: "...Fourth Brother, which eye of yours saw that I like him?"
Shen Jingchuan: "So you don't like it, right?"
Wen Yan was both amused and exasperated: "So why are we even discussing this now? It feels completely pointless."
"How could that be?" Su Yang pulled Wen Yan to sit down on the sofa. "If you think Yuan Zhou is good, then Mom can arrange another meeting, and you two can take things further."
"Then I don't want to." Wen Yan said with a tearful face. "Mom. First of all, I don't plan to go on blind dates for the time being. Secondly, if I want to date in the future and find someone I like, we will develop our relationship on our own. Isn't the relationship between two people a very private matter? It would be so uncomfortable if other people were watching and pressuring us."
"Exactly!" Shen Jingchuan chimed in. "So Mom, stop playing matchmaker. When the eldest son brings a friend home, you ask what Wen Yan thinks. What will you ask when I bring a friend home? And what about every guy who comes to our house? Wen Yan isn't worried about getting married, why are you in such a rush to sell her off? Right?"
As he said this last sentence, Shen Jingchuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan nodded hurriedly.
"Mom, that makes sense. My fourth brother is absolutely right."
"Never mind then." Su Yang was a little disappointed.
Of all the children in her family, the ones she gave birth to are all very stubborn. Her eldest son is almost thirty, and despite countless urgings and numerous blind dates, nothing has come of it.
Wen Yan was the only daughter who was relatively obedient, but she also had her own ideas.
Actually, she also wanted to ask Yulong what she thought of Yuanzhou's child.
But then I thought it wasn't appropriate, since I had already asked my other daughter first.
Su Yang had no choice but to give up.
But she couldn't help asking another question.
"By the way, Yan Yan, have you and Yuan Zhou exchanged contact information?"
"Mom..." Wen Yan was both amused and exasperated, "You're still thinking of setting us up? Didn't you say it was over?"
"Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Shen Jingchuan: "Yes, Mom, you'd better not ask anymore. What if you annoy Wen Yan by asking so many questions that she never comes home again? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
“Nonsense,” Su Yang glared at her youngest son. “Do you think everyone is like you, staying abroad for a whole year at a time and not even coming home for Chinese New Year?”
However, Su Yang still felt a little scared when she thought about it.
She quickly looked at Wen Yan: "Yan Yan, if you don't like it, Mom won't ask anymore. But you must never do what your fourth brother said and hold a grudge against Mom and not come home, okay?"
"Of course not, Mom! These are all minor matters, and I won't be affected by them."
At this moment, Shen Yuan, the head of the family, also spoke up.
"Alright, we came back today to talk about the trip, so let's get started. Your mom and I have already discussed it, and we have a budget of fifteen days, starting from the first public holiday. Of course, this is just a budget, and the specifics will depend on your schedule. Now, let's all say what we think."
"I can."
"I can."
Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan spoke in unison and raised their hands at the same time, their movements were almost perfectly synchronized.
Su Yang was very satisfied with their answers.
"That's great! You two didn't disappoint your mother. When it comes to having fun, you two are definitely the most in sync."
Then Su Yang looked at her other children: "What about you? Yu Long, your work arrangements should be the same as Yan Yan's, right?"
"Well, I'll probably be with my dad on New Year's Eve, since the Qin family's ancestors were Chinese, so they have the tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival. I might stay there for another two or three days. After that, I'll have more free time."
If it's only a two or three-day stay, that's plenty of time, and Su Yang's smile grew more and more obvious.
"What about you, Jinghe? I remember you were always filming during the Lunar New Year holidays in previous years. Could you spare some time this year?"
In previous years, Shen Jinghe would deliberately fill the Spring Festival with work in order to avoid going home.
But this year is different.
He has actually come to terms with the kidnapping incident from his childhood.
Moreover, he has indeed not had a proper rest for several years since he started working, so this year he has consciously turned down some work that still needs to be done during the Chinese New Year.
"I can still come up with the time in ten days or so."
"Really?" The second son's answer was so readily accepted that Su Yang could hardly believe it. "I remember your work is always arranged several months in advance. Are you sure there won't be any problems this year?"
“Yes,” Shen Jinghe nodded, “I have no plans for the Spring Festival this year, and some collaborations have already been postponed to next year. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to take a 10-20 day holiday.”
Seeing the fine lines at the corners of Su Yang's eyes when she smiled, Shen Jinghe couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Over the years, he had been at odds with his father and brothers, to the point that he had neglected his mother, who loved him the most. Before he knew it, his mother had grown old, and this time he was determined to fulfill her wish.
"Great, great, great!" Su Yang couldn't stop smiling. "That would be perfect. I'm already incredibly excited about the trip even before it's started."
She finally looked at Shen Jingxiu and said, "Jingxiu, you have to take a vacation! And you have to take all the annual leave you haven't taken over the past few years. In previous years, you would go on business trips abroad before the domestic employees even started work. You are not allowed to do that this year. I know you are capable, but you are a human being, not a robot."
