Seeing that Wen Yan didn't speak anymore, Shen Yuan assumed that she was feeling down after learning the truth.
He frowned and asked, "Do you hate your biological father?"
Wen Yan didn't know how to answer: "It's hard to say. If he's really that much of a jerk, it doesn't seem worth wasting my feelings on him. By the way, Dad, can I take this photo of me when I was little?"
"Of course you can. Yan Yan, whatever your purpose, whether it's to find out the truth of what happened back then or to question him, if one day you want to find your biological father, just tell Dad. The Shen family will do everything in its power to help you find him."
Wen Yan carefully put the photos away, smiled and said, "This person might not be worthy of our family's hard work! Dad, don't worry, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
"That's good."
"Then I'll head out first. Dad, don't work too late, get some rest."
Wen Yan quickly left Shen Yuan's study.
When the door was opened, Shen Jingxiu was seen raising one hand, ready to knock.
"Big brother? Are you looking for Dad?"
"Um."
At the same time, Shen Yuan's voice rang out: "Is that Jing Xiu? Come in."
Shen Jingxiu stayed in Shen Yuan's study for about ten minutes.
When he left, Wen Yan was playing with Shen Jinghe's cat in the living room on the first floor.
Because Shen Jinghe was away on a business trip filming, and Su Yang also liked cats, Wen Yan simply took Shen Pili with her.
Wen Yan had actually prepared a separate room for Shen Pi, but this guy just liked to do parkour in the living room on the first floor.
While running, it suddenly bumped into a long leg, and then it braked abruptly, turned around, and ran away.
When Wen Yan looked, she was shocked to see that Shen Pili had bumped into Shen Jingxiu.
The moment their eyes met, Shen Jingxiu spoke first.
"Are you free now? Let's chat?"
Wen Yan nodded: "Yes."
But she was very curious: "My brother actually initiated a conversation with me? What does he want to talk about? Isn't the fake Shen Zhirou thing over? What's there for us to talk about?"
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "Okay, then wait for me a moment, I'll take the documents I have back and put them away."
"OK."
Where are we going to talk? Why didn't he invite me to his study? Is he just going to the living room?
Hearing Wen Yan's lively and cheerful voice, Shen Jingxiu slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
She seems to be in a pretty good mood, not as down as he thought.
He turned around and strode back to the second floor.
About seven or eight minutes later, Wen Yan suddenly received a message from Shen Jingxiu.
Come to the glass conservatory!
A glass greenhouse? Wen Yan was quite surprised, but she immediately replied with a "okay".
Soon, Wen Yan entered the flower room.
This glass greenhouse is decorated with many solar-powered string lights, which light up at night as long as there is sunshine during the day.
Wen Yan was genuinely surprised that Shen Jingxiu chose this location for their conversation.
"Big brother, big brother? Have you arrived yet?"
The greenhouse not only contained various flowers, but also many tall plants. Wen Yan couldn't see Chen Jingxiu for a moment.
It wasn't until Shen Jingxiu responded that Wen Yan spotted him in front of a bench.
This is a decorative bench covered with white roses, and right now, nestled among the rose bushes, lies a vintage green bag.
If Wen Yan remembered correctly, this should be a limited edition item from this fall/winter season. She had seen it in the luxury goods brochure that Su Yang had given her before.
In the catalog, this expensive, vintage-style, exquisite green bag is surrounded by white roses.
But now, the white flowers surrounding it have turned into roses.
So, my brother specifically called me to the glass greenhouse just to recreate this scene? And this bag? It must be a gift for me, right? If not, well, that's awkward.
"So, do you like it?"
Wen Yan nodded: "It's hard not to like it. Is this a gift for me?"
"Um."
Wen Yan's eyes widened: "Why?"
"A gift of thanks."
"What are you thanking me for? Is it about the fake Zhirou?"
"You could say that."
"...So there's another reason? What is it? I remember this bag comes in other colors, why is it green?"
"Because of the cake you gave me."
Wen Yan thought about it carefully: "Because I gave you a matcha-colored cake, you gave me a green limited edition bag."
"And regarding Zhirou, thank you for all you've done for this family."
[Oh, what he said made me feel embarrassed, but I was also very happy, it felt like I was genuinely appreciated.]
"It seems like only you know I like sweets, and I'm happy when I eat them."
Haha, it was all by accident, such a coincidence! I really didn't know he liked it at first.
"There's one more thing, which may be a bit presumptuous of me to say."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"I overheard your conversation outside Dad's study just now."
"Oh, that? It's nothing. It's just the truth!"
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I hope you're happy. Let's go, we're done talking."
Wen Yan: [As expected of my decisive older brother. Actually, I wanted to stay here and take a picture. It's so beautiful, it would be a shame not to take a picture to record it.]
Shen Jingxiu: "I just remembered I have a phone call to make, so I'll head back now."
Okay, bye-bye!
-
Wen Yan's mood instantly improved after receiving a super cute bag.
She arranged the items in the walk-in closet, muttering to herself, "See, Wenyan? We received a bag today! Isn't it pretty!"
Perhaps because she thought about the original owner of the body so many times today, Wen Yan dreamed of the original Wen Yan again when she went to sleep last night.
In my dream, two identical people stood face to face, as if they were talking to each other in a mirror.
Wen Yan asked her, "Where did you go? Why do I have no memory of you?"
Wen Yan, on the other side, said, "I didn't go anywhere. I just awakened. I realized that my world is a book, and in this book, I will commit a terrible mistake by drugging my older brother, and in the end, I will be reduced to my original form and commit suicide in despair."
After I awakened, the original Wen Yan disappeared. Then, by chance, you arrived, obtained this body, and inherited her life. However, I still want to thank you for exposing the fake heiress, preventing her from being misunderstood.
Wen Yan didn't understand: "And you, did you just disappear?"
Another woman, Wen Yan, shook her head: "I don't think this is disappearing. After breaking free from the control of the plot's power, I'm free. Maybe sometimes I'm just a gust of wind, or a cloud. But you're still yourself. I hope you can continue to be happy and joyful as yourself, and not let any irrelevant people affect your mood!"
However, I have a piece of advice for you: since I can awaken, there might be other characters who will also awaken, but I don't know who they might be. Best wishes for your future endeavors! Wen Yan.
