After all, we're at home, and it wouldn't be good to continue like this.
Shen Jingshao was reluctant to let go of her, so he hugged her for a while longer before gently asking, "Are we dating?"
Wen Yixing looked at him for a few seconds, "If we're not dating, why should I let you kiss me?"
Shen Jingshao smiled, lifted her off the platform, and reached out to tidy her slightly messy hair.
——
The two stayed at home for two more days until Saturday, when Wen Yixing's vacation was about to end and she had to take Yao Yao back to Beijing.
Shen Jingshao hasn't left these past two days. Although they haven't made their relationship public to their parents yet, everyone can see the atmosphere between them.
With Fang Jingyao being such a shrew, Wen Jianguo and Li Hongmei already knew that Shen Jingshao was the boyfriend Wen Yixing had mentioned on the phone.
Overall, Wen Jianguo and Li Hongmei were quite satisfied with Shen Jingshao's performance this time.
Li Hongmei would occasionally go directly to ask Shen Jingshao about his family situation, whether he had a car or a house, whether he had any siblings, and how his parents were doing.
Shen Jingshao did not hide his situation, which made Li Hongmei more and more shocked the more she asked.
Li Hongmei already had some insomnia, but she couldn't sleep at all after learning about this.
When Wen Jianguo returned home after washing up that evening, he saw that Li Hongmei looked preoccupied.
Wen Jianguo, wearing a white vest, picked up a fan from the side and fanned himself. He walked to the bedside and looked at Li Hongmei. "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about? Why are you frowning? It's getting late. Go to sleep early. We have to get up early to go up the mountain tomorrow."
This year's harvest on the mountain is good, and Wen Jianguo has already started planning to work hard for a few more years to save more dowry for his daughter.
Eight years ago, when Wen Yixing married Fang Shiyan, it was a difficult time for her family. Wen Jianguo couldn't afford much dowry, so he could only provide a few quilts that Li Hongmei had made herself.
Although Wen Yixing never said anything about this matter, Wen Jianguo always felt sorry for his daughter.
Especially before the wedding, when the two families met, the condescending attitude of the Fang family left a lasting impression on Wen Jianguo for many years.
He has worked tirelessly all these years, hoping to earn more money so that his daughter's in-laws wouldn't look down on her.
After Wen Jianguo turned off the room lights, the room was plunged into darkness. Wen Jianguo groped his way to bed in the dark.
He had a habit of chatting for a while before going to bed, fanning himself with a fan. Wen Jianguo looked at the ceiling and said softly, "Actually, I think divorce is a good thing. Yixing's mother-in-law is obviously not someone to be trifled with. Yixing has had little contact with her family over the years, and she lives so far away from home. I guess even if she has suffered some grievances, she won't tell her family."
"When I came back this time, I felt that Yixing had changed a lot compared to before, and she didn't mention Fang Shiyan at all. I just don't know if she has really let go."
As he spoke, Wen Jianguo thought of Shen Jingshao again, "Actually, Xiao Shen is a very good kid, for example, Fang Shiyan is pleasing to the eye."
Li Hongmei remained silent. Wen Jianguo turned to look at her. "Asleep?"
"Not yet." Li Hongmei hesitated for a while, then leaned closer and whispered, "I have something to tell you, don't worry."
Wen Jianguo didn't know what was wrong with Li Hongmei. It was a bit hot in the room, so he continued to fan himself and even fanned Li Hongmei a little. "What's wrong? Tell me."
Li Hongmei: "I only found out today that Xiao Shen is from the Shen family after talking to him."
Wen Jianguo laughed: "Little Shen's surname is Shen, so he must be from the Shen family."
Li Hongmei realized that Wen Jianguo hadn't understood her at all. She patted Wen Jianguo and whispered, "No, have you seen the news? Have you heard of the Xingchen Group in Beijing?"
Wen Jianguo had already realized that something was wrong, but he still replied, "I've heard of it."
Li Hongmei: "The big boss of Xingchen Group is Xiao Shen!"
Wen Jianguo, who was fanning himself, suddenly stopped and stood frozen in place.
After about ten seconds, Wen Jianguo turned his head stiffly to look at Li Hongmei, his throat bobbing up and down, and asked, "Really?"
Li Hongmei rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think it's true or false?"
Wen Jianguo fell silent.
Li Hongmei: "The first time I saw Xiao Shen, I felt that Xiao Shen was not an ordinary person."
Wen Jianguo turned to look at Li Hongmei: "How did you figure it out?"
Li Hongmei: "Xiao Shen's temperament is different from ours."
Wen Jianguo: "Oh."
After learning about this, Wen Jianguo lost his appetite for conversation. He stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Li Hongmei knew that after his experience with the Fang family, Wen Jianguo wanted his daughter to find a partner of equal social standing. She thought that if the gap between them was too large, his daughter might end up suffering.
Wen Jianguo was still a little uneasy after thinking it over, so he sat up in bed.
Li Hongmei, who was standing nearby, noticed his movement and asked, "Where are you going?"
Wen Jianguo sat on the edge of the bed and took out a pack of cigarettes from the bedside table next to him. "Can't sleep, have a smoke."
Li Hongmei followed suit and, after thinking for a moment, advised, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't interfere too much in Yixing's marriage. In my opinion, Xiao Shen is not bad. Look, he is willing to work in the fields with you and is not as pretentious as Fang Shiyan. He seems to be good to us Yixing."
"Is Xingchen Group even more powerful than Fang Shiyan's company?" Wen Jianguo asked, frowning.
Li Hongmei: "I don't know either, but I feel that he is more powerful than Fang Shiyan. Anyway, I used to see the name Xingchen Group on TV often. Fang Shiyan's... I don't even remember what Fang Shiyan's company is called."
