Chapter 499 She's Going to Change Careers for Wen Jingxi
North City.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Wen Jingxi and Song Lanyin arrived at the studio.
Wen Jingxi has a cultural relic that needs to be repaired. It was sent by Jiang Wenjin. It's quite urgent, and Wen Jingxi will be busy for the next few days.
Now that Song Lanyin had some free time, she went upstairs to stroll around Shen Qingshu's studio.
Coincidentally, Shen Qingshu also happened to be in the studio today.
Upon seeing Song Lanyin, Shen Qingshu was quite surprised and warmly led her to her personal office.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Whatever." Song Lanyin glanced around. There were several paintings hanging on the wall, some by Shen Qingshu, but many others by the children in the studio.
She doesn't understand painting, but she can tell that these paintings are of a high standard.
Shen Qingshu had her assistant bring over two cups of herbal tea and a few small cakes.
She called out, "Ayin, come and sit down."
"Oh, okay."
Song Lanyin walked to the sofa and sat down, and Shen Qingshu pushed the flower tea in front of her.
"Try it. This flower tea was personally sun-dried by Uncle Jin. It's good for your skin and complexion."
Song Lanyin picked up the teacup, smelled it, and said, "It tastes quite good."
She took a few sips, nodded, and said, "It's delicious."
Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile in her eyes, "I've stocked up quite a bit here. I'll take two boxes with me when you leave."
"No need." Song Lanyin put down her teacup and smiled, "My lifestyle isn't as health-conscious and refined as yours. When I'm alone, I mostly order takeout."
“Now that we have Teacher Wen, right?” Shen Qingshu joked. “He was influenced by Grandpa Wen since he was a child, and he has very particular habits even at a young age. Take it back and have him make it for you whenever you want to drink it.”
Upon hearing this, Song Lanyin recalled some of Wen Jingxi's habits over the past two weeks.
Compared to her, Wen Jingxi was indeed very particular.
Sometimes she felt that Wen Jingxi's lifestyle was incompatible with his sharp tongue.
Now I understand, it was Grandpa Wen's influence on me from a young age.
"Try this little cake." Shen Qingshu pushed the little cake in front of her.
Song Lanyin wasn't particularly interested in desserts, but Shen Qingshu's hospitality made it hard for her to refuse, so she picked up a small spoon and ate a few bites.
Shen Qingshu asked her, "Is Xiao Wen downstairs?"
“Yes, he has a few artifacts to finish these days.” Song Lanyin put down her fork and sighed softly. “I’m just a free man now, and his work can’t be disturbed. It’s actually a bit redundant for me to come along. It’s so boring.”
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before asking, "Now that you're with Xiao Wen, what are your plans for the future?"
“I’ve been thinking about this for the past couple of days. I can’t do that job forever. Actually, I’ve made enough money over the years. The only person I have who still works with me regularly is Alai. The others only work with me on assignments, and some I haven’t even been in contact with anymore.” Song Lanyin looked at Shen Qingshu, paused, and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Now that I’m with Teacher Wen, I thought I should think more about him.”
Shen Qingshu was somewhat surprised, "You mean, you're going to quit the entertainment industry for Wen Jingxi?"
Song Lanyin nodded. "I used to be alone, with only a few teammates and my brother by my side. They were essentially the same as me. We had a deep friendship, but we were all independent individuals, and no one had to be responsible for anyone else. But now I'm with Wen Jingxi. He's different from people like us. He has a normal family, a normal job, and a stable social circle, while our circle is chaotic and dangerous. I can't let Wen Jingxi face risks because of me."
The fact that Song Lanyin could consider so many things shows that her feelings for Wen Jingxi have gone far beyond mere liking.
She included Wen Jingxi in her future plans.
This is a good thing.
“Ayin, you used to say that you just wanted to date and didn’t consider marriage.”
"That was before!" Song Lanyin was a little embarrassed, but she was used to being straightforward, and now that she and Wen Jingxi had confirmed their relationship, she no longer hesitated to hide her thoughts.
"I've been very happy with Wen Jingxi for the past two weeks. This is the first time since I became an adult that I've had the thought of spending my whole life with someone. I want to live with him, raise children together, and grow old together."
Song Lanyin spoke softly, and as she spoke, her eyes were filled with anticipation for the future.
Shen Qingshu was happy for her and moved by her frank and sincere feelings.
"Love always makes people change. Ah Yin, you are much braver and more frank than me. When you love someone, you will boldly pursue them. You even bravely make changes. You are great."
Song Lanyin couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Shen Qingshu, don't try to coax me like a child!"
“I’m telling the truth.” Shen Qingshu looked at Song Lanyin and smiled. “Of course, Xiao Wen has also made changes. The reason you and Xiao Wen were able to get together is because you are both willing to make changes for each other. Your mutual feelings will definitely last.”
Song Lanyin had never thought about this long-term issue before.
Now, she's starting to look forward to it.
"I just feel that, since I'm an orphan, the only person I can truly love is myself."
As Song Lanyin spoke, her expression softened unconsciously. "I will do my best as long as I feel it is worthwhile. This is not to please him, but because I love him, I want to be good to him, and I want him to be happy."
Shen Qingshu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and as she put it down, she couldn't help but sigh, "I'm quite surprised. In just over half a month, our Ayin has really changed a lot."
Song Lanyin rested her hand on her chin, pursed her lips and sighed, "But I'm too idle now. You all have your own jobs. Since I've decided to quit, I have to find something else to do. I can't just stay at home doing nothing every day, or I'll go crazy."
Although she has enough money to live a life of luxury, she can't bear the thought of retiring at the age of thirty-two.
Song Lanyin looked at Shen Qingshu and asked, "Do you think I should start a side hustle too?"
"sideline?"
Song Lanyin tapped her chin with her fingertip, "It might become my main job if I successfully switch careers."
"Is it in the North City?" Shen Qingshu asked.
"Probably," Song Lanyin said. "I know more people here. I don't plan to go to Xingcheng with Teacher Wen for the time being, and Teacher Wen hasn't mentioned it either."
“That makes sense. We can look after each other here, and Professor Wen has been working here most of the time this year, so it's not really a long-distance relationship for you two.” Shen Qingshu thought for a moment, then asked, “So, what are your thoughts?”
"I'm thinking, why don't I open a martial arts school?"
"Martial Arts Hall?"
"Teach people to strengthen their bodies and teach children and women self-defense techniques."
“That’s a good idea,” Shen Qingshu said with a smile. “The 11th and 12th floors of this building are currently vacant. If you’re interested, I can reserve them for you.”
"Great!" Song Lanyin said with a smile, "That way, Teacher Wen and I can go to and from get off work together!"
Shen Qingshu laughed and said, "Are you already starting to follow each other's lead?"
"You're just making fun of me. I'm not as amazing as you!" Song Lanyin teased. "Your husband, Lao Fu, chases after you every day! He's always there for meals on time!"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
"However, let's make it clear first, the rent will still be charged!"
Shen Qingshu knew that she was not short of money, and being frank with each other would make them both feel more comfortable.
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the lease agreement and bring it to you later."
"OK!"
Song Lanyin glanced at the time. "Is your husband still having lunch with you?"
"He went to Jiangcheng on a business trip and won't be back until tomorrow."
"Let's have lunch together then. It's on me, and you can choose the place."
Song Lanyin stood up and said, "I'll go downstairs to find Teacher Wen first. You can come down and find us when you're done."
“Okay.” Shen Qingshu got up to see her off.
...
As soon as Song Lanyin entered the studio, she heard arguing, which seemed to be coming from the reception room.
At the front desk information desk, Lu Xiaohan was craning her neck to look around and watch the melon.
Song Lanyin walked over and asked her, "What happened?"
Lu Xiaohan gestured for her to be quiet and said in a low voice, "It seems that the family of Teacher Wen's blind date came to the door, angrily accusing Teacher Wen of cheating!"
Song Lanyin: "?"
