Chapter 358: Coming to the Door
Wen Wan nodded in response and simply made a huge joke, "Yes, women can do everything you said. Even... it's not impossible for the world to be ruled by women."
Hearing this, Shen Yu's pupils shrank.
His fingers holding the cup trembled slightly, "How dare you think that!"
Wen Wan spread her hands and said, "It's not that I dare to imagine it, but it's the fact. Although women cannot compare with men in terms of physical strength, they are not inferior to men in intelligence. Even when it comes to details, women's control is better than men."
Throughout the long course of history, although women in power are rare, they do exist.
After she finished speaking, Shen Yu stared at her for a long time.
Finally, he sighed weakly.
"That's all."
Wen Wan's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
Shen Yu stood up, took off his shoes and socks again, and squeezed onto the bed.
He pulled her into his arms and said, "I don't care about women's rights or not. After all, in our family, you have the final say. As for the rest... it's not my turn to worry about it."
He came to this conclusion just by going out?
Shen Yu pulled the quilt over her and covered her.
Wen Wan pulled down the corner of the quilt, revealing a pair of wide-open eyes.
"That's it? You don't want to argue with me?"
This is a conflict of concepts.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yu gave her a resentful look and asked, "To reason with you?"
Wenwan nodded.
"Heh," Shen Yu shook his head and chuckled, "Come on, with your mouth, how can I ever win over you?"
His action of raising it high and then putting it down gently made Wen Wan feel a little uncomfortable.
She hesitated and was about to speak.
Shen Yu Sagittarius covered her mouth and said, "I know what you are thinking. You want to convince me and make me agree with your ideas fundamentally."
Her little thoughts were seen through, and Wen Wan smiled awkwardly.
Chen Yu pinched her cheek as if to vent his anger, "Don't waste your energy. The teachings I received since childhood prevented me from accepting women's rights quickly, just like you... After all these years, have you ever accepted the superiority of men over women?"
Since I met her, she has never bowed her head in front of any man.
Even before the imperial power, she never yielded.
His sudden comment caused a storm in Wen Wan's heart.
"You, you... figured it out?"
He actually saw her deep-seated resentment towards the feudal society where men were superior to women.
Shen Yu chuckled, "It's hard to tell?"
"That's true." Wen Wan thought carefully about what she had done in the past few years and immediately felt relieved.
That’s right, no matter how she disguises herself, deep down she is still that modern soul.
Shen Yu was lying beside her, his voice slowly ringing in her ears.
"Xiao Wan, the succession of dynasties follows its own laws, and everything is constantly changing. Perhaps one day, everyone in the world will agree with your point of view."
"I'm not against the day that this day will come. So, it's not that I don't want to argue with you, but...some things just need to happen naturally."
Wen Wan turned her head, as if trying to see something from his expression, but the candle had gone out and she couldn't see his features in the darkness.
Noticing her actions, Shen Yu reached out and touched her head.
"Go to sleep. Maybe the organization you mentioned will contact you tomorrow."
Wen Wan was stunned and seemed a little unable to react.
Shen Yu smiled faintly and said, "Think about it, if there really is such an organization promoting women's rights, would they let go of 'the same kind' as you?"

Of course not.
So the next afternoon, when Qi Lingyu sent a visiting card to ask for a meeting, Wen Wan really wanted to praise Chen Yu for his foresight.
"Madam Wen, I came here specifically to apologize to you."
Qi Lingyu went straight to the point and asked her followers to place all the gifts on the table.
Wen Wan took a quick look and found that these gifts were obviously well thought out. They were not very expensive, but they were something that even with money could not necessarily be bought.
Not to mention other things, just one of the white porcelains with a signature engraved on it is obviously made by a famous artist, and it is something that people in the circle of nobles are fighting for.
"Miss Qi, you are too polite. I am just a merchant girl, how can I appreciate these gifts? Don't leave them with me, it would be a waste of good things."
Wen Wan sat at the top and had tea and snacks served to her.
Qi Lingyu had a faint smile on her face. She picked up a piece of dessert from the white porcelain plate and said:
"Madam Wen is too modest. Just this little snack is enough to prove that Madam Wen is no ordinary person."
Wenwan looked up.
Qi Lingyu said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, this pastry contains an exotic spice called Chi Hu. This spice may look insignificant, but it's actually made from the bones of a one-month-old rhinoceros."
"This Chihu spice is usually added to high-quality ink. You were so creative that you actually added some of it. It adds a touch of scholarly flavor to the taste."
There was another sentence that Qi Lingyu didn't say, because if she said it, it would seem a bit materialistic.
This foot-long spice is very expensive, and one penny of foot-long costs two taels of gold.
Qi Lingyu's comments really surprised Wen Wan.
She subconsciously glanced outside the door, as if she really wanted to find Shen Yu and ask him something.
Is this snack really as rare as Qi Lingyu said?
Shen Yu asked the chef to make these snacks specifically for her. He said that during the two years she was away, he felt empty inside, so he developed a habit.
Whenever I come across something delicious or fun, I want to collect it, like a dinosaur storing treasures. I can only use these external objects to fill the emptiness deep in my heart.
He had eaten this snack when he was passing through a foreign country. He thought it tasted delicious and thought she would like it, so he spent a lot of money to buy the recipe.
After returning to the capital this time, he finally had some time to spare. He spent a whole day studying the recipe with the chef, and just made the dim sum a few days ago.
Wen Wan really likes to eat, so she has been cooking in the kitchen every day these days.
She didn't expect that this snack had such a great origin.
Fortunately, Wen Wan was feeling emotional but she didn't show it on her face.
"If you like it, Miss Qi, please eat more. I'll ask the kitchen to bring two boxes home for you later."
She was warm and generous, and also wealthy. When Qi Lingyu saw her, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Qi Lingyu thanked him with a smile, ate a piece of dessert, drank a cup of hot tea, and then explained the purpose of her visit.
"I was wrong yesterday. I was so obsessed with beauty that I almost made a big mistake. Last night, I went home and thought about it carefully. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was really unnecessary for us women to lose our harmony over a man."
While speaking, Qi Lingyu was observing Wen Wan's reaction.
As if testing something, she carefully threw out a bait to identify her own kind.
Wen Wan remained expressionless, nodding in fake approval. "Yes, he's just a man, what's the big deal? We women still have to be self-reliant and independent. If we have our own abilities, we don't have to rely on men, right?"
Oh, talking about gender equality with her, a modern soul, isn't that easy?
