Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Big Brother is So Handsome Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Big Brother is So Handsome Why is this happening?
Su Yang couldnât help but ask Wenyan, âYou just mentioned something about Yanyan, I didnât catch it.â
As soon as Su Yang spoke, the other three people at the dining table all stopped eating.
Wenyan blinked, somewhat confused.
âI didnât say anything afterwards, Mom, you must have heard wrong,â she said.
Wenyan was also puzzled, saying her mother heard wrong didnât seem right. Because just now, nobody at the table had spoken at all.
Shen Yuan looked at Su Yang with some concern: âDid you not get enough rest? Maybe you shouldnât go to the studio today.â
Wenyan nodded silently to herself.
Inside, she thought, âMs. Su must have had too much to drink last night, thatâs understandable since it was her birthday. If it were me, I would be happy too.â
Su Yangâs eyes widened again.
But obviously, no one else present, aside from her, had heard Wenyanâs words.
It seemed that even Wenyan herself didnât know what had happened.
What was this, then, her inner voice?
Why did her inner voice keep calling her âMs. Suâ? And what did she mean by saying she wouldnât go to the company anymore?
Su Yang ate her breakfast absentmindedly.
Wenyan did as well.
Not until Shen Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks did Wenyan finally take a deep breath.
âDad, Mom, thereâs something I want to talk to you about.â
âWhat is it?â Shen Yuan put down the wet towel he was using to wipe his hands, directing his gaze towards Wenyan.
Wenyan smiled sheepishly and said in a serious tone, âDad, Mom, I was being childish before, always trying to compete with Zhirou. So when I heard that she was going to work at the company, I also made a fuss about going. But actually, my major doesnât match at all, she studied management, I studied design, Iâm not suitable. So, after calming down, Iâve decided not to go to the company anymore, and I hope you can forgive my capricious actions!â
Wenyanâs words were sincere, and after hearing her speech, Shen Yuan and Su Yang had newfound respect for her.
Even Shen Jingxiu, who usually didnât interact with her much, gave her a special glance.
Over the past few years, she had always been fighting with Shen Zhirou, both overtly and covertly. Since she hadnât caused any significant trouble or made any serious mistakes, Shen Yuan and Su Yang, as a couple, had always turned a blind eye.
However, they had discussed privately that if one day Wenyan did something excessive to Zhirou, they wouldnât show favoritism towards Wenyan.
They never expected that she would suddenly be so forthcoming today, as if she had become a different person.
But it was for the best that she had come to this realization. If she kept the mentality of competing with Zhirou in the company, she wouldnât be able to contribute much to the company.
So, Shen Yuan nodded in agreement swiftly: âAlright, then you donât need to go to the company. Do what you enjoy. As long as itâs nothing too outrageous, your mother and I have no objections.â
âYes! Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom!â
âHahaha, it seems Mr. Shen is not as cold as he appears. Heâs actually a good father, not only to his biological children but also to me, his adopted daughter.â
Shen Yuanâs eyes widened slightly: ââŠâ
Did he hear something? Was that Wenyan speaking just now? No, she didnât say anything. But he definitely heard Wenyanâs voice.
He instinctively looked towards Su Yang because Wenyan certainly hadnât said anything, yet Su Yang had oddly asked what she said.
But this time, Su Yang had no strange expression on her face. Obviously, Su Yang hadnât heard anything just now.
At that moment, the butler came to announce that the driver was ready.
Shen Yuan then stood up and left the dining table, no longer dwelling on the voice he had just heard.
Su Yang immediately escorted both father and son to the villaâs entrance along with Wenyan.
While Su Yang was saying goodbye to Shen Yuan, Shen Jingxiu was next to them, fastening his cufflinks.
His fingers were slender, and as he lowered his head slightly and cast down his eyes, his long eyelashes covered his eyelids like little brushes.
This stunning profile, a beauty strike of ten thousand points.
âThe Eldest Young Master is just too handsome. Heâs rich and has good looks; being this attractive, isnât he making life tough for other men?â
Shen Jingxiuâs hands froze as he was fastening his cufflinks: ?? Again, that voice came again.
He narrowed his eyes as he looked towards Wenyan, his gaze sharp as a knife.
Wenyan instinctively swallowed.
âWhatâs wrong, Big Brother?â
Hearing the noise from their side, Su Yang couldnât help but glance over.
She caught a glimpse of Shen Jingxiu but spoke to Wenyan.
âYanyan, your big brotherâs tie is a bit crooked, could you straighten it for him?â
Wenyanâs heart missed a beat for half a second.
Since her adoption, she had never been this close to Shen Jingxiu.
As far as she could remember, the Shen Familyâs brothers had gone abroad for their studies early on, while the two daughters stayed behind for school in the country.
After completing his studies, Shen Jingxiu had joined the Shen Group directly, becoming a commanding CEO at a young age, making him hard to approach.
But now, with Su Yang speaking up, and her being so close to Shen Jingxiu, it would seem a bit unreasonable to refuse such a simple task, wouldnât it?
At the very least, she could treat this as an opportunity to practice her acting! If she had to act opposite a cold and aloof male god in the future, would she refuse just because he was difficult to approach?
After mentally preparing herself, Wenyan immediately walked over to Shen Jingxiu.
She reached out for Shen Jingxiuâs tie, and Shen Jingxiu did not seem to mind.
That made her breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, her thoughts became more active.
[Hmm, his Adamâs apple is quite sexy, and he looks irresistibly handsome with the tie.]
Shen Jingxiu: ???
Were these her inner thoughts again? What was she thinking? Were such thoughts appropriate for her?
Suddenly, Shen Jingxiu grasped his tie: âLet go, Iâll do it myself.â
âOh.â
Her hand lightly touched, and Wenyan immediately withdrew it as if electrocuted.
[The Eldest Young Master is really difficult to get along with, thankfully I donât have to interact with him often.]
Shen Jingxiu: �??
One moment sheâs calling him an ice block, the next sheâs praising his looks, and then sheâs relieved not to have to deal with himâdo women always change their minds so quickly?
After watching the father and son drive off, Su Yang turned around and took Wenyanâs hand.
âYanyan, come, keep mom company for a walk in the garden.â
âOkay.â
While speaking, Wenyan paused.
Some things canât be said out loud, they can only be thought in oneâs mind.
[If my memory serves me right, itâs been a very long time since Mrs. Su has held this hand, it feels rather unfamiliar.]
Su Yang paused as well.
She had heard Wenyanâs inner voice again.
Indeed, since Zhirouâs return, she had grown much more distant from Yanyan. That must be why Yanyan had been competing with Zhirou for attention, seeking to get noticed by their parents, right?
Now that Yanyan had come to terms with herself, no longer planning to compete at the company with Zhirou, she felt she should be fairer to both children. In Yanyanâs mind, she didnât even call her mother anymore, but referred to her as Mrs. Su.
At that thought, Su Yang couldnât help but feel self-reproach, and her tone became even gentler.
âYanyan, since youâve decided not to go to the company, what are your plans? What do you intend to do? You studied design in university; how about joining momâs studio? I can teach you personally.â
Su Yangâs studio was well-known, and many designers would do anything to get in, but upon hearing this, Wenyan shook her head and refused.
She chose to speak the truth.
âMom, the truth is, I donât like design; what I love is acting. It may sound funny to you, but I chose design initially to please you. It was around the time when Zhirou came back, and I was afraid that you wouldnât want me anymore.
As a result, I didnât do well, and my graduation project received the lowest score in the class. I was just wasting precious time back then, but now Iâve realized what I truly want. Iâll pursue what I enjoy, and Iâll stop bothering Zhirou, so I donât put you and dad in a difficult position.â
