Chapter 298: Chapter 209: Have You Been Waiting for Me All Along?_3 Chapter 298: Chapter 209: Have You Been Waiting for Me All Along?_3 “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 me. I plan to rest at home for a few days before getting back to work arrangements.”

“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 immediately went upstairs to catch up on some sleep.

By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside.

That was because Zhang Sao came to call her for dinner, or she wouldn’t have known when she’d wake up.

When she got to the dining room, the meal was all laid out.

At this moment, 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 time Sir and Madam are not at home, in fact, your elder brother comes back every night no matter how busy he is. But he might be working overtime tonight, so he hasn’t come back for dinner. If it’s early, he might be home before ten.”

“What about when it’s late?”

“Once he came back close to midnight. But that was on the weekend, he came home 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 seemed like he was always silently protecting this home 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 remembered Jiang Wanwan.

She wrapped up the same time as Wenyan and also had a few days off starting tomorrow.

Wenyan planned to wait for Shen Jingxiu to come back tonight to ask if he recently had any free time, preferably to set up a meeting 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 game.

The game 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 came to wake her once, and when Wenyan checked the time, it was already close to ten.

Thinking Shen Jingxiu might come back any moment, she simply sat up and continued playing her game, 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 someone was waiting for him at home.

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 time, to his surprise, Zhang Sao didn’t come 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 immediately 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 time he called.

He had to reach out and gently shake her shoulder a couple of times.

“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 me?” Uncontrollably, Shen Jingxiu’s heart suddenly felt a warm flush.
