"Whose cooking smells so good! Mom, can you smell it?"
"I can smell it! Gu Junxing, I'm hungry. I should have brought Zhang Ma along."
"The food has been delivered to my home, and I can eat it as soon as I get back."
Gu Junxing spoke up to appease the two gluttons, one big and one small.
The weather was nice today; the sun wasn't too strong, and there was a gentle breeze. Lin Shen and Xia Wenxi decided to have lunch in the pavilion in the courtyard.
When Xia Wenxi heard the voice, it sounded familiar, and then she realized that this was Tangyuan's house!
Just as I was about to say something to Lin Shen, I saw him stand up.
"It's someone I know. I'll go over and say hello."
Xia Wenxi nodded and got up with him. She wasn't surprised when Lin Shen said they knew each other; she guessed they might have met in business.
After all, it's normal to get to know all sorts of people, like this general manager or that general manager.
"President Gu?"
"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you here."
"So this is Little Fish's house, what a coincidence."
Xia Wenxi also briefly told Lin Shen about the chance encounter between Xiaoyuer and Tangyuan.
"Mr. Gu, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't you eat something together?"
"The food has been delivered. I won't bother you any longer today. Let's get together again next time."
Having said that, there was no need to insist that they stay any longer. After chatting briefly for a few more minutes, they went home for dinner.
Lin Shen and Xia Wenxi sat down again for lunch. As soon as they sat down, Xia Wenxi brought up her earlier question to Lin Shen.
"Mr. Gu and his wife look so young. I didn't expect their child to be so big."
This was no secret, and Lin Shen naturally knew it too. He explained to Xia Wenxi, "President Gu had children early, but as for Mrs. Gu, she is not the child's biological mother."
Xia Wenxi had actually made a guess before, after all, Sui An looked to be only in his twenties, while that young man looked to be seventeen or eighteen, so it seemed unlikely that he was any younger.
"Their relationship is really good, whether it's mother and son or husband and wife, they have a good relationship."
Speaking of this, Lin Shen nodded in agreement, "Indeed, their family is a well-known model of harmony in Jinjiang. I've met President Gu a few times before, and he's a very nice person."
Hearing this, Xia Wenxi took a sip of soup and exclaimed with a smile, "They're just like the male and female protagonists in a novel!"
"novel?"
"What a model happy family! Loving parents, handsome son, and a harmonious family of three."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shen asked a question that almost made Xia Wenxi choke.
"You like younger girls?"
Xia Wenxi almost spat out a mouthful of soup.
What does this have to do with anything?
Lin Shen's thought process is quite twisted.
She deliberately said, "If you're handsome, age isn't a problem."
So being older isn't a problem?
Remembering what they had said in the kitchen earlier, Xia Wenxi spoke up to stop Lin Shen.
"You said we'd discuss this after we finish eating."
"Okay." Lin Shen was very obedient. He thought of Xia Wenxi's expression when she mentioned the Gu family earlier.
"Actually, you and your family are also a model family."
Parents are loving and blessed with both a son and a daughter.
As far as he knew, Xia's parents had a very good relationship.
Xia Wensheng is also an upright and capable person.
And then there's Xia Wenxi standing in front of him...
Xia Wenxi proudly accepted the praise.
“My parents are both very kind, and Xia Wensheng… Xia Wensheng is also very kind. If they hadn’t adopted me, I don’t know where I would be now.”
At this moment, Lin Shen couldn't help but think of his parents.
Some parents love their children equally, even if they are not related by blood.
Some parents manage to turn their homes, which should be filled with love and warmth, into an "animal world."
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Shen has always convinced himself not to complain, after all, he still has at least one of the two things: material things and love.
We should be content, but I'll still feel envious.
Love, such a precious and beautiful thing, who wouldn't want to have it?
Xia Wenxi noticed Lin Shen's expression; it seemed a little sad, but only for a moment, and she doubted that she had seen wrong.
However, considering what Xia Wensheng had told her about the Lin family, and the interactions she had witnessed between Lin Shen and Lin Junying, she had begun to make some guesses about the Lin family's relationships...
However, talking about this kind of thing will only cause people unnecessary sadness and distress.
"Lin Shen, how come your cooking skills are so good? If you opened a private restaurant, it would definitely be a huge hit."
"It can't compare to a professional chef. But if you'd like, you can treat this place as a private kitchen."
"That's so embarrassing, the president of the prestigious Lin Group cooking for me..."
Xia Wenxi laughed, "I was initially embarrassed, but now it sounds really impressive."
"Don't be embarrassed, Lin Shen is willing to do it himself."
Xia Wenxi put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Although Lin Shen likes me, I can't take what you do for granted just because you like me. I would feel very bad if I did that."
Lin Shen's heart sank when he heard these words.
He thought he was going to be rejected again.
Not only was he rejected as a boyfriend, but he was even rejected when it came to being nice to her.
"Wenxi, I..."
"etc."
Xia Wenxi interrupted him, "I feel like I haven't finished eating yet. Let me have another bowl, and then we can talk."
Xia Wenxi stood up and ran back to the kitchen to get another bowl of rice.
She is about to make a very important decision, and it is important to eat an extra bowl of rice before making such a crucial decision.
