Chapter 461 Wen Zhixia x Shen Jiachen (Thirty-two)
People started leaving the banquet one after another around eight o'clock. Shen Fang and Yu's father had a great conversation. They were both a little drunk and almost decided on the marriage in a few words.
Yu Mingxue's face became redder and redder. She clasped her hands on her legs and occasionally stole a glance at Shen Jiachen beside her. Except for being a little unhappy at the beginning, he looked calm and composed the rest of the time.
She was a little confused about Shen Jiachen's attitude. He should be... happy, right?
Yu Mingxue and Shen Jiachen grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and the foundation of their relationship was laid since they were young. No matter what, he would have some feelings for her.
Just as Yu Mingxue was guessing in her mind, Shen Jiachen said calmly: "Jia Zhou and Xing Yuan have to go to school tomorrow. I'll take them home."
Shen Fang was drunk and said, "What are you sending these two guys for? Just let the driver take them there."
Shen Jiachen glanced at him, his tone still indifferent: "It's getting late, I have to go to the company for a meeting tomorrow, goodbye."
He said this, and Father Yu patted Shen Fang on the shoulder: “Brother Shen, you raised your son so well!”
Shen Fang laughed, and he clinked glasses with Father Yu: "Our son, our son."
Shen Jiachen just glanced at him, said nothing, and got up and left.
Yu Mingxue also said quickly: "I'll see Brother Chen off."
Without even waiting for Yu's father to answer, he stood up and left in a hurry.
Father Yu chuckled, seeing through his daughter's thoughts. If she had said earlier that she liked Shen Jiachen, they wouldn't have had such an ugly fight a few days ago.
Shen Jiazhou and Gu Xingyuan had finished their meal long ago. After receiving the message from Shen Jiachen, they were already waiting for him at the hotel entrance.
As Shen Jiachen met them at the hotel entrance, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Jiachen."
Shen Jiachen looked back and saw Yu Mingxue jogging towards him, but she was wearing a pair of high heels to match her skirt today, and they made crisp tapping sounds as she stepped on the tiles.
Gu Xingyuan hurriedly cried out, "Slow down, you won't fall."
Just as Yu Mingxue was about to speak, her feet slipped and she couldn't stand steadily.
When Gu Xingyuan saw her coming, he took two steps forward. Seeing that she was not standing steadily, he jumped over and supported her.
However, Yu Mingxue quickly stabilized her body, watched him come over and grab her wrist, smiled and touched his head: "Well, good brother."
Gu Xingyuan sighed softly: "Oh, confused sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard by Yu Mingxue.
Yu Mingxue looked at Shen Jiachen and said, "Brother Chen, I want to talk to you."
Shen Jiachen looked at Shen Jiazhou and said, "Go wait for me in the car."
Shen Jiazhou looked between him and Yu Mingxue and said, "Well, Sister Mingxue, goodbye."
Gu Xingyuan withdrew his hand, pursed his lips and said, "Goodbye."
Yu Mingxue smiled and touched his head again: "Go ahead."
Gu Xingyuan muttered as he walked: "I'm not a child anymore, stop touching my head."
Shen Jiazhou and Gu Xingyuan left. Shen Jiachen walked up to Yu Mingxue and glanced down at her feet: "Are you okay?"
Yu Mingxue shook her head: "It's okay, I didn't sprain it."
She smiled sweetly at Shen Jiachen: "What my dad just said..."
Yu Mingxue was still a little embarrassed. She opened her mouth, then lowered her head and stared at her toes, her heart pounding.
Shen Jiachen looked at her, lowered his eyes and said, "Mingxue, don't worry."
Yu Mingxue raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes.
Shen Jiachen smiled at her and said, "Marriage matters shouldn't be decided by them in just a few words."
He thought for a moment and said, "You are going back to school to live because of the marriage, right? I will explain it to my father after I go back, and I won't cause you any trouble."
Yu Mingxue was stunned and could only let out a dumbfounded sound.
Shen Jiachen said sincerely: "You should have told me earlier. I'm sorry for letting you bear so many things alone."
He and Yu Mingxue have been friends since childhood. They are old friends and he is the king of the group of kids. He has played with every kid.
Although he only has one biological brother, Shen Jiazhou, Mingxue, Xingyuan, Xiaofei and the others can all be considered his brothers and sisters.
When Shen Jiachen heard what Shen Fang had just said, he couldn't help feeling sick.
It’s okay for him, but Mingxue is a girl, how could she say such things casually.
Yu Mingxue looked at him, her expression frozen for a moment. She opened her mouth and murmured, "Actually, I... can do it."
Shen Jiachen was only surprised for a moment, and soon came to his senses: "Mingxue, maybe you haven't met someone you like yet, so you think anything is fine. But how can a marriage last forever? The future is so long, a marriage with love can end in divorce, let alone a marriage without love."
"We both know each other's personalities. Neither of us is the type to sacrifice ourselves for the benefit of the family." Shen Jiachen said softly, "Mingxue, find someone who loves you. Don't tie the rest of your life to interests. As your brother, I hope you can be happy. I don't want you to regret it."
Yu Mingxue lowered her head and sorted out her thoughts for a while before asking, "Brother Chen, do you have someone you like?"
Shen Jiachen then revealed a slightly shy smile, and he hummed: "Yes, I fell in love with her at first sight."
Yu Mingxue bit her lower lip tightly: "Did Brother Chen and Uncle Shen tell them?"
"No." Shen Jiachen couldn't help but frowning when he thought of Shen Fang: "And she... rejected me politely."
Yu Mingxue was shocked: "She rejected you?"
Why was Shen Jiachen, such a good person, rejected? Who is this person?
Shen Jiachen didn't want to say more about this: "Well, you rejected me, but I still want to fight for it. Mingxue, I hope you can keep this a secret for me."
Yu Mingxue nodded slightly.
Shen Jiachen smiled and patted her shoulder: "Okay, be happy, you are the birthday girl today, happy birthday Mingxue, I'm leaving first, see you later."
Yu Mingxue forced a slightly forced smile: "See you later."
Shen Jiachen turned and left. Yu Mingxue looked at his back until he could no longer see her. She continued to stand there and stare at him closely.
