Wen Shuqiao had already prepared countless questions in her mind, but she didn't expect to ask one she hadn't thought of before, and let out a soft "ah" in a bit of confusion.
Perhaps because Wen Shuqiao's expression was too surprised, Xie Chuying said, "Oh, I just thought you were so gentle and kind, so I wanted to ask if you have a boyfriend. I have a younger brother who is 28 years old and still single."
After thinking for a moment, Wen Shuqiao asked, "Your younger brother is 28 years old and still single. Does he not really want to be in a relationship?"
She did not directly answer Xie Chuying's question.
“I don’t think so.” Xie Chuying sighed. “I’ve introduced him to quite a few outstanding girls, but he told me that he likes a feeling, but feelings are so ethereal.”
Speaking of her younger brother, Xie Chuying sighed, "My brother is good in every way, but he's too stubborn. A few years ago, I even asked him if he was attracted to the same sex, but thankfully he wasn't."
Otherwise, her mother and father would be so angry that they would be hospitalized.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Well, maybe it's just that our time hasn't come yet. Don't worry."
Xie Chuying sighed heavily again, and Wen Shuqiao comforted her, "Fate is something you can't force."
“I know you can’t force it,” Xie Chuying said, “but sometimes when I see someone of the right age, I still want to play matchmaker.”
Wen Shuqiao hummed in response, her tone devoid of much emotion: "You've worked hard too."
“It’s not hard work.” Xie Chuying continued to sigh, “My life is tough.”
Just then, the door was pushed open again. Wen Shuqiao subconsciously looked over, and was stunned after seeing the person's face.
The person standing at the door was already used to the "banquet" style of the living room. His eyes subconsciously went to his sister, but he saw an acquaintance next to her.
He was also somewhat surprised. He quickly walked over and said gently, "Shuqiao, you're here too."
Wen Shuqiao also stood up, and greeted him, "Teacher Xie, what a coincidence."
It took her a moment to realize: "So An'an is your nephew."
Wen Shuqiao and Xie Jingbei met at the kindergarten that day, but she left without thinking about it. It was only when she saw Xie Jingbei that she realized that Xie Chuying also had the surname Xie.
Can Can also mentioned that An An has an uncle, so they are actually from the same family.
Xie Jingbei's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Yes, you walked too fast that day, I wanted to say hello but I couldn't catch up. Then I got busy and didn't pick you up. Who's your kid?"
Wen Shuqiao pointed to Cancan, who was playing with building blocks with An'an. Xie Jingbei looked at Cancan for a while before saying, "Your child is so cute."
"Thank you, An'an is cute too."
Xie Chuying sat on the sofa watching the two politely exchanging pleasantries, and interjected at an appropriate time: "Hmm? Shuqiao, Jingbei, you two know each other."
"Don't stand, sit down." After Xie Jingbei finished speaking, he looked at his sister and said, "Shuqiao is a student in my studio. She has recently started working as an assistant."
Wen Shuqiao sat down. Xie Jingbei originally wanted to sit down as well, but other people had already come over to chat. He looked at Wen Shuqiao and gave her an embarrassed smile: "Excuse me."
"You're busy," Wen Shuqiao said. "Don't worry about me."
Xie Jingbei reluctantly joined the group of people exchanging pleasantries.
After glancing at it a few times, Wen Shuqiao came to her senses and met Xie Chuying's smiling eyes: "Oh, Shuqiao, so you and my brother have known each other for a long time!"
"What a coincidence." Wen Shuqiao's eyes crinkled into a smile. "I never imagined that An'an was Teacher Xie's nephew."
Xie Chuying asked, "He has liked playing drums and other similar things since he was a child. If you have any questions or want to learn something, you can just send him a message. Don't be shy, we're already so familiar with each other."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Teacher Xie is very good and patient. Everyone in the studio likes him."
She exchanged a few more words with Xie Chuying when her phone rang in her pocket. Wen Shuqiao took it out, glanced at it, and said with a hint of apology, "I'll go answer this call."
"Go quickly." Xie Chuying now finds everything about Wen Shuqiao very pleasing.
Wen Shuqiao first walked quickly to Cancan's side and said something, then answered the phone and walked out.
The caller was Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou asked, "Have you arrived yet?"
"I've been here for a while now." Wen Shuqiao had already reached the front yard, sunlight shining on her. She slightly raised her head: "Are you done with your work?"
Shen Jiazhou on the other end of the phone hummed in agreement: "It's halftime, I'm just coming out for some fresh air."
He sat in the conference room as soon as he got to the company today. Even if he doesn't want to get some fresh air, the employees need to get some fresh air too.
He asked, "Are you going back now?"
Wen Shuqiao was referring to a children's gathering; she'll be leaving soon.
"We can't go back for now." Wen Shuqiao said helplessly in a low voice, "A lot of parents have come and are chatting."
Shen Jiazhou understood: "That's normal. The Lu family has been doing well these past two years, and many people want to curry favor with them."
"Ah," Wen Shuqiao said, "the Lu family."
Shen Jiazhou on the other end seemed to chuckle softly, like a feather brushing against her ear, making Wen Shuqiao a little embarrassed.
Shen Jiazhou said, "It's my fault. I've been too busy these past two days and forgot to tell you. I'll tell you tonight."
“Okay.” Wen Shuqiao said, “No wonder when An’an’s mother asked me what An’an’s name was, I stupidly said it was Lu Shengyue.”
I didn't understand what she meant at all.
"Don't worry about it," Shen Jiazhou said. "You can also ask her what Cancan's name is, Shen Jiazhou's Shen~"
Wen Shuqiao lowered her head and chuckled: "You're getting cocky. I'm going in now, it's not very polite to stay out too long."
"Okay, if anything happens, just call Gu Xingyuan. He's home, just around the corner," Shen Jiazhou instructed. "Don't be shy about socializing with them, just act as usual."
Although Wen Shuqiao didn't say it explicitly, Shen Jiazhou could guess what the ingredients were.
Finally, I couldn't help but remind him, "If you're not feeling well, just go home with Can Can. Don't push yourself. He wants to play with An An, so I'll personally pick An An up and take her home to play."
"Okay, I know. Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses." Wen Shuqiao said quickly, "Bye-bye."
"Okay, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Shuqiao breathed a sigh of relief, put her phone back in her pocket, and turned around to see Xie Jingbei standing at the door.
She was slightly startled; when did they arrive? She hadn't even noticed.
