Chapter 49
The temperature difference between day and night has been large these past few days, so Wen Yixing changed into a long dress and put on a knitted cardigan.
After drying her hair, she gently opened the door, went out, and quietly closed it again.
The stairwell windows lit up one floor at a time. Shen Jingshao looked up and saw her hurrying downstairs in a long blue dress.
Shen Jingshao's gaze froze slightly as he watched her walk towards him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Wen Yixing still felt a little unreal. She asked, "Have you finished your work over there?"
“I’m almost done with the work. I can take care of the rest here.” Shen Jingshao handed her the flowers in his hand. “I bought these flowers on the way here. I hope you like them.”
Wen Yixing was slightly taken aback, then took it.
The flowers in her hand were vibrant and beautiful.
Wen Yixing rarely receives bouquets like this, but she can still tell that a bouquet of this quality is definitely not something bought from a roadside stall; it's probably custom-made.
Even though Shen Jingshao said that, Wen Yixing didn't call him out on it. She smiled and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Although he could hear the polite and distant tone in Wen Yixing's voice, Shen Jingshao was still very happy to hear her say that.
"How is Yao Yao?" he asked.
Wen Yixing didn't tell Shen Jingshao much about what happened this afternoon, but she knew that Attorney Qian would report many things to Shen Jingshao.
Therefore, it's not surprising that Shen Jingshao knew about Yao Yao being beaten by Li Qingyun.
"Yes, he had a good attitude and didn't cry or make a fuss when he got home." Wen Yixing's eyes softened as she spoke of her son. "He ate two bowls of rice. It seems he didn't take this to heart."
Shen Jingshao: "That's good."
Wen Yixing looked at Shen Jingshao, "I also want to thank you for calling Attorney Qian over to keep me company."
At first, Wen Yixing didn't understand why Shen Jingshao had Lawyer Qian accompany her. Later, after seeing the bodyguards with Lawyer Qian, she realized that Shen Jingshao was worried that she would be bullied, so he sent someone to protect her.
Her eyes were so bright that Shen Jingshao stared at her for a while before saying softly, "Don't go to the Fang family by yourself in the future. You can call me and I'll figure something out."
Having held a high position for many years, Shen Jingshao had naturally witnessed many of the underhanded tactics employed by wealthy families.
Even knowing the relationship between the Fang family and Wen Yixing, Shen Jingshao still dared not gamble.
Wen Yixing just smiled and didn't answer him.
Shen Jingshao didn't pay attention; his gaze fell on Wen Yixing's fingers holding the flowers.
Her hands were actually very beautiful, fair and slender, so the bright red scratches on her fingers were particularly noticeable.
"What happened to your hand?" Shen Jingshao frowned slightly.
Hearing his question, Wen Yixing looked down at her hands.
She thought for a moment and said, "I accidentally got scratched by a nail while moving things, but it's nothing, it's almost healed."
It was just a minor injury, and she didn't really pay much attention to it.
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand for Shen Jingshao to see.
The blood on the wound hadn't clotted yet, so it was probably a recent injury. Shen Jingshao looked at it and said to her, "There are band-aids in the car. Wait for me a moment."
Shen Jingshao took a band-aid from the car and returned quickly.
Wen Yixing originally wanted to say that it was okay and that it would be fine in a little while.
But seeing Shen Jingshao's serious expression, he didn't say those words.
"The wound is quite deep; be careful it doesn't leave a scar." Shen Jingshao tore off the bandage and deliberately scared her.
No one wants to have scars on their body.
Wen Yixing was indeed stunned for two seconds by what he said before she belatedly realized that he was just bluffing her.
This way, the wound won't leave a scar.
While she was still in a daze, Shen Jingshao gently lifted her injured hand with one hand.
The moment their palms touched, she instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.
But Shen Jingshao suddenly gently grasped her wrist, preventing her from pulling away.
He didn't look up at her, but only stared at the wound on her finger. "Don't move."
Wen Yixing lowered her eyes, and from her angle, she could clearly see his profile.
Shen Jingshao always felt both strange and familiar to her, especially since they started having normal contact.
Despite appearing quite assertive, he would unconsciously become cautious and timid when facing her.
Wen Yixing tried to recall her high school memories, but Shen Jingshao rarely appeared in her memories.
Because they were in different classes, they barely spoke a few words to each other during their three years of high school.
Most of the time, she heard the name Shen Jingshao from her classmates.
Although the two of them hadn't had much contact, she found that she didn't reject Shen Jingshao's touch, and even felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Wen Yixing pursed her lips and called his name: "Chen Jingshao".
Shen Jingshao bent down to put the band-aid on her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Yixing looked at him, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "When did you meet me?"
Upon hearing this question, Shen Jingshao looked up, and the two of them were slightly taken aback when their eyes met.
Shen Jingshao realized what was happening, but instead of letting go of her hand, he took it in his grasp.
Wen Yixing noticed that Shen Jingshao especially liked holding her hand.
She didn't break free, but looked at him with some confusion.
The lights in the hallway came on again, and the sound of people talking could be heard upstairs.
Shen Jingshao looked up at her, then back at her: "Shall we talk somewhere else?"
Wen Yixing thought the same thing, and she nodded: "Okay."
Shen Jingshao drove the car.
In the car, Wen Yixing heard Shen Jingshao say, "We were high school classmates."
