Chapter 200: Chapter 174 Shen Jinghe Eavesdropping_2 Chapter 200: Chapter 174 Shen Jinghe Eavesdropping_2 Hearing Wenyan say this, Shen Jingxiu couldn’t help but look up at her.

Dating?

In the adult world, sweet romance must be hard to come by.

He suddenly remembered Wenyan had once complained in her mind about his age.

Indeed, he was after all five years her senior.

He frowned, “That’s true, you’re still young. It’s too early to talk about marriage now, this place will always be your home. I think you should prioritize your career interests right now. That’s the only way to realize your self-worth, once a person’s self-worth is fulfilled, they won’t feel lost.”

Shen Yuan, Su Yang: “…”

Has the sun risen from the west? It’s rare to see the eldest son using this talk on family members.

Yet Wenyan seemed to have found a kindred spirit.

“Big brother is right! That’s exactly what I think! I also feel I should focus on my career right now,” she agreed.

Shen Jingxiu ‘hmm’ed in response, “It’s good you can think like this. Oh parents, I’ll come home for dinner tonight.”

“Great, with Yanyan here, the more the merrier.”

Knowing that Su Yang loved a bustling house, Wenyan immediately whispered something in her ear.

Sure enough, Su Yang’s face lit up with a smile after hearing it, “That’s wonderful!”

–

After the family went off to work, Wenyan first took a walk outside and then returned to the home gym to exercise for an hour. Afterwards, she browsed her phone and shopped online, and the morning passed by quickly.

Waking from a nap at noon, she caught up on TV dramas and studied the acting styles of her seniors, enjoying her easy and comfortable daily life.

Wenyan was following a TV drama with a strong female lead set in the workplace, and one of the climax scenes depicted the heroine being betrayed by a protégé she had mentored, who then ousted her from the company’s executive team.

While watching this scene, Wenyan’s mind suddenly flashed with memories.

Memories of scenes from the original story of the Shen Family.

When Shen Jinghe was competing with the original male protagonist, the entire Shen Family got involved, and Shen Jingxiu was betrayed by his assistant.

That assistant was actually a named character in the original story, surnamed Fu, but Wenyan couldn’t recall the exact name, any rate, just a cannon fodder character.

The Fu Family had always been at odds with the Shen Family. The original male lead didn’t personally take action against the Shen Family, but cleverly used the Fu Family as a knife.

But after thinking it over carefully, Wenyan realized if she wasn’t mistaken, Shen Jingxiu’s assistant should be named Weng Yiming and didn’t have the surname Fu at all.

In other words, the events written in the book had not yet happened.

Right now, it seemed Shen Jinghe wasn’t falling for Jiang Wanwan at first sight, and Wanwan had said that Jinghe wasn’t her type and would never give him any hope in the future.

If that was the case, all the plotlines detrimental to the Shen Family could potentially be avoided.

With this thought, Wenyan let go of her worries and continued to happily watch her TV dramas.

But as she came across a car accident plot, she suddenly remembered.

Last time Shen Jingxiu was in the car accident, his assistant sitting in the passenger seat was seriously injured!!

She had no idea how he was doing now, but if he was seriously injured, a month would probably not be enough for him to return to work.

In other words, Shen Jingxiu must have changed assistants by now!

Suddenly, Wenyan lost all desire to continue watching the show.

She intended to message Shen Jingxiu to ask about it, but seeing the time, he was likely about to finish work.

Wenyan decided it’d be better to wait for him to come back and then chat with him face to face.

–

That evening, Shen Jingxiu didn’t work overtime. Shen Yuan and Su Yang returned quite early, and once everyone was gathered, they quickly started dinner.

After dinner, Shen Yuan and Su Yang went out for a walk.

Wenyan took the initiative to talk to Shen Jingxiu.

“Big brother, can I talk to you?” she asked.

Shen Jingxiu was a bit surprised, instinctively asking her, “What’s wrong, did you encounter an insoluble difficulty at work?”

Wenyan shook her head, “It’s not that, my work has been going smoothly so far. It’s something else I wanted to talk to you about. It feels pretty warm outside today, how about we sit on the third-floor terrace?”

“Alright. Wait for me a moment.”

“Sure.”

Wenyan stood waiting for a bit, noticing Shen Jingxiu went back to the living room to grab his overcoat, then he called Auntie Zhang over and spoke a few words to her.

However, he spoke softly, and Wenyan couldn’t quite catch what he said to Zhang.

Soon, the two took the elevator straight up to the third-floor terrace.

Wenyan, wearing only a turtleneck sweater that night, looked up at the stars and couldn’t help but lean on the railing and sigh.
