Chapter 481 Wen Zhixia x Shen Jiachen (Fifty-three)
Wen Zhixia chuckled and looked up at the scenery outside the car window. At this time, there were few cars and people on the road. Everyone was probably staying at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat New Year's Eve dinner.
Shen Jiachen glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Wen Zhixia came back to her senses and replied, "I'm not hungry, what's wrong?"
Ning Zhen knew that it was difficult to order takeout on New Year's Eve, so she asked someone to deliver two employee meals. Although they were employee meals, the dishes were very rich, and she and her colleagues on the day shift ate their fill.
Shen Jiachen said, "No, you should say you are hungry."
"Okay." Wen Zhixia changed her tone and said, "I'm hungry."
Shen Jiachen was happy now. He said, "There is a food box in the back row. You can pick it up and have a look."
Wen Zhixia then turned her head to look. It seemed that it was placed next to the armrest box for easy access. She just stretched out her hand and got it.
The food box was heavy. She opened it and found that it was filled with pastries.
Shen Jiachen said, "These are the chef's specialty cakes. I don't know if you like them or not, so I asked him to make some."
Wen Zhixia raised her head and looked at him: "Thank you, they all look delicious."
Shen Jiachen smiled and said, "Then try it later. If it tastes good, I'll bring it to you later."
Wen Zhixia replied with a "good" and leaned back in her chair, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. There were not many cars today and she didn't even have to wait for two red lights. She even arrived a few minutes faster than taking a taxi on normal days.
During the Chinese New Year, the old community was also full of joy. Wen Zhixia unbuckled her seat belt and looked down at the watch on her wrist. It was only nine twenty.
She turned her head to look at Shen Jiachen, who was looking at her tenderly.
Wen Zhixia said, "There is a riverside park in front. It's still early. Do you want to go for a walk together?"
Of course Shen Jiachen was willing, he also unlocked the door, picked up the food box on Wen Zhixia's lap and put it behind him: "We'll come back later to get it."
Wen Zhixia nodded, and the two got out of the car together. The temperature on winter nights is much lower than during the day.
Wen Zhixia couldn't help shivering after closing the car door. She didn't feel cold in the car because the heater was on, but now that she got out of the car, she still felt chilly.
Shen Jiachen remembered something. He opened the back door again and took out a pink scarf from the car. He walked quickly to Wen Zhixia and handed the scarf to her: "Take it."
Wen Zhixia was about to refuse when she heard Shen Jiachen say shyly, "I learned it online, so my knitting is not very good. I hope you don't mind."
Wen Zhixia didn't say the words of refusal. Her eyes fell on the scarf in Shen Jiachen's hand. The scarf looked meticulously stitched and didn't look like it was knitted by hand.
Shen Jiachen simply shook out the scarf and took the initiative to put the clown-like scarf around Wen Zhixia's neck.
In fact, Shen Jiachen found some time to knit several scarves in different colors, but in the end, after comparison, only this light pink one looked the most realistic.
"I washed it before I brought it here, and asked the nanny to fumigate it with some light scent. I don't know if you like this smell. If you don't like it, I'll give you a different scent next time." Shen Jiachen showed his big white teeth to Wen Zhixia.
Wen Zhixia lowered her head slightly. The fresh and elegant scent on the scarf was exactly the same as the scent she had smelled on Shen Jiachen. It turned out to be incense. No wonder it smelled so good.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Jiachen and said, "I like it very much. Let's go. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. Let's take a look around."
Shen Jiachen wanted to agree with it wholeheartedly. He followed Wen Zhixia happily, asking her if she was happy recently and then asking her how her work was going.
The two of them walked forward, talking to each other, and they didn't even feel that the road was very long.
Not long after they left, Wen Sisi came back, accompanied by a man in a baseball cap. The man raised his cap, looked at the luxury car parked next to him, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This car must cost several million."
Wen Sisi also took a look. She couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but she would believe whatever Zhang Lei said. She was also surprised and said, "It's so expensive? It feels like an ordinary car."
"See its logo? It's the most luxurious car among all the luxury cars. It's low-key, luxurious and has connotations." Zhang Lei put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Wife, I will be able to drive a car like this in the future. I will take you to work and back home, and make your colleagues envy you to death."
Wen Sisi blushed, and she quickly slapped Zhang Lei's hand away: "Who is your wife?"
Zhang Lei tilted his head to look at her, chuckled, lifted her chin and kissed her: "If you are not my wife, then who is my wife?"
Wen Sisi had a sweet look on her face, but then she remembered something and looked around nervously: "I'm home, you should go back soon too, remember to hide, don't let my sister see you."
"Don't worry." Zhang Lei said, "I know your sister doesn't want us to be together. I will hide when I see her."
Wen Sisi held his hand tightly and said, "After the college entrance examination, we can be together openly."
Zhang Lei touched her face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, baby. I will definitely take you to relax on your birthday."
This year there is a leap month, so the Spring Festival is naturally late, but Wen Sisi’s birthday will not be late, it will be next month.
What’s more, Wen Sisi’s birthday happened to be on Saturday, so she could find any excuse to sneak out then.
Wen Sisi hugged him tightly and said, "Go quickly, my sister will be back soon."
Zhang Lei hummed, and he held Wen Sisi in his arms and kissed her again: "Let's go, baby, happy new year, I'll transfer a big New Year's gift to you later."
Wen Sisi nodded, watched Zhang Lei leave with a smile, then turned and walked back into the community.
Wen Zhixia and Shen Jiachen walked all the way to the riverside park. They didn't expect the park to be so lively tonight. The adults were chatting and sending blessings, and the children were playing with fairy wands. It was so festive.
Neither of them liked to be in a crowd, so they stood there and watched for a long time before they slowly walked along the wooden bridge.
The trees are bare in winter, but they look okay because they are hung with colorful light strips.
The wind was stronger by the river, but it wasn't so cold after moving around. The two of them walked to the edge of the river viewing platform, stopped, and looked across the river together.
The wind blew Wen Zhixia's hair a little messy. She slowly put her hair behind her ears and then went to look at Shen Jiachen.
The hair on Shen Jiachen's forehead was also blown up by the evening breeze, revealing his forehead.
Wen Zhixia asked: "Is your family the Shen family that I know?"
Shen Jiachen had never concealed the fact that he was a second-generation rich man, but he had never mentioned it on his own initiative. He tilted his head and looked at Wen Zhixia: "It should be the Shen family you imagined."
Wen Zhixia said "oh" to indicate that she understood.
She didn't ask any more questions and continued to look at the river.
Shen Jiachen quietly took a step towards her, their arms were closer, and he continued: "But my family is very complicated. My parents divorced a long time ago, and I was awarded to my mother."
Wen Zhixia looked at him again, and Shen Jiachen continued, "My mother's family is in Country M. After the divorce, she returned to Country M."
"Then why did you stay in China?" Wen Zhixia wondered: "Shouldn't you go abroad with your aunt?"
"That was my original plan, but I had a younger brother who was too young at the time. I couldn't just leave him there, so I discussed it with my mom and decided to stay in China to study and take care of my brother."
