“Well… let’s hold off for now. Even though I know this doesn’t make sense, I’m kind of traumatized by the idea of traveling with you. Plus, you’re probably going abroad for work, right?”
“You got that right.”
“Then I definitely don’t want to go. You’re going to work, not to have fun with . I plan to rest at ho for a few days before getting back to work arrangents.”
“Who would have thought you’re such a workaholic?”
“Of course, because I really enjoy my current job! I plan to pick a different script, to experience another brand-new role and life.”
Shen Jingchuan nodded, “That’s great, if work makes you happy, then it’s a wonderful job. If you’re really not going, then I’ll be off, I need to pack since I’m leaving tonight.”
“Go ahead, I wish you a smooth journey!”
After Shen Jingchuan left, Wenyan imdiately went upstairs to catch up on so sleep.
By the ti she woke up, it was already dark outside.
That was because Zhang Sao ca to call her for dinner, or she wouldn’t have known when she’d wake up.
When she got to the dining room, the al was all laid out.
At this mont, looking around the spacious mansion, there were only her and Zhang Sao, which felt exceptionally empty.
Zhang Sao, noticing the look of loss on her face, took the initiative to say:
“During the ti Sir and Madam are not at ho, in fact, your elder brother cos back every night no matter how busy he is. But he might be working overti tonight, so he hasn’t co back for dinner. If it’s early, he might be ho before ten.”
“What about when it’s late?”
“Once he ca back close to midnight. But that was on the weekend, he ca ho late and also got up later the next day than usual.”
Wenyan nodded.
She knew that Shen Jingxiu wasn’t as cold-hearted as he appeared on the outside.
He also had a warm heart, evident from many small details.
For instance, when he compensated her with a lipstick, he also prepared one for another sister.
And now, he would rather drive an hour extra than leave this house empty.
It seed like he was always silently protecting this ho in his own way, whether through his tolerance for his younger brothers and sisters or his respect for his parents.
However, speaking of Shen Jingxiu, Wenyan quickly rembered Jiang Wanwan.
She wrapped up the sa ti as Wenyan and also had a few days off starting tomorrow.
Wenyan planned to wait for Shen Jingxiu to co back tonight to ask if he recently had any free ti, preferably to set up a eting between him and Jiang Wanwan while they both were available.
So after dinner, Wenyan simply sat on the living room couch and started playing a mobile ga.
The ga she was playing was a mindless cooking one, quite stress-relieving, but it strained the eyes. While playing, she fell asleep on the couch.
Zhang Sao ca to wake her once, and when Wenyan checked the ti, it was already close to ten.
Thinking Shen Jingxiu might co back any mont, she simply sat up and continued playing her ga, telling Zhang Sao to go rest in her room.
Sure enough, within half an hour, she had fallen asleep on the couch again.
She didn’t even hear Shen Jingxiu’s car returning.
When Shen Jingxiu saw the lights on at the entrance, he knew soone was waiting for him at ho.
He guessed it had to be Zhang Sao; every day she would open the door for him and offer a warm glass of water.
But this ti, to his surprise, Zhang Sao didn’t co to open the door, and the first person he saw as he walked into the house was Wenyan, fast asleep on the couch.
Shen Jingxiu imdiately changed his shoes, casually left his briefcase on the cabinet at the entrance, and made his way quickly and quietly to the couch.
“Wenyan?” He bent over and called out tentatively in a low voice.
But there was no response the first ti he called.
He had to reach out and gently shake her shoulder a couple of tis.
“Wake up, Wenyan, you can’t sleep here; you’ll catch a cold.”
“Mm,” Wenyan half-opened her eyes, groggy, “Elder brother, you’re back, I haven’t slept, I’ve been waiting for you.”
“You’ve been waiting for ?” Uncontrollably, Shen Jingxiu’s heart suddenly felt a warm flush.
