Chapter 342 - 342 224_2

Chapter 342: Chapter 224_2 Chapter 342: Chapter 224_2 “Well, this time you can have your fill. No, wait, you shouldn’t eat too many at once.”

“Don’t worry about it, big brother. I know my limits, I’m not a three-year-old anymore.”

Wenyan said eagerly as she opened the paper bag.

The moment she opened the box, Wenyan’s eyes sparkled.

“Wow, what unique designs, and each one looks like it’s a different flavor. Which store’s chocolates are these?”

Even before she tasted them, Wenyan was already excited.

Upon checking the bottom of the box, she found a small card, but apart from the production date, the letters were familiar to her. However, combined, they seemed foreign.

She held the card and gave Shen Jingxiu a sheepish look: “These wouldn’t happen to be something you brought back from abroad on your business trip, would they?”

“Yes,” Shen Jingxiu quickly glanced at Wenyan, “I actually prepared a set for each of you, but no one else is home. Go ahead and try them.”

“Okay, thanks, big brother! Mmm~ Delicious, this matcha one even has a molten center, it really took me by surprise. Does their store have a branch in A City?”

Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly: “I don’t think they do, their chocolates are handmade. The store owners are a married couple who have been making chocolate for decades. I heard they have two large cabinets full of molds, and every day they sell chocolates in different shapes. If you like them, I can buy some for you next time.”

“Sure,” Wenyan decided she wouldn’t be modest with her own brother about a bit of chocolate, “Then next time you go on a business trip, bring me back a few more boxes. I’ll keep them in the fridge.”

“Okay.”

“Have you tried them all?”

“I had a couple, but I didn’t try them all.”

“Would you like one?”

“Okay.”

Shen Jingxiu adjusted the steering wheel and was about to reach out when he caught sight of a delicate hand offering a brown chocolate to his mouth.

He hesitated for a moment, and then a bit sluggishly, opened his mouth to take the chocolate.

It was sweet, exceptionally sweet.

It seemed sweeter than any dessert he had ever tasted.

The chocolate melted in his mouth, as smooth as her movements had been just moments ago.

Shen Jingxiu felt like he should say something now or else… he’d find himself very strange.

He suddenly asked Wenyan, “Ever since you started acting, haven’t you been too busy to go shopping? If you don’t have the time or it’s not convenient to visit the store, you can have them send the clothes to your home to try on.”

When he had helped Wenyan with her coat earlier, he noticed that her clothes were from a few years ago.

If he remembered correctly, it was from a few years back when Su Yang had bought them for everyone in one go.

That year, black was particularly trendy for women’s fashion, so Su Yang had prepared a set for everyone in the family for the New Year.

As for why he remembered this so clearly… it was because he had never seen any family where the parents would hand out black overcoats to everyone during the festive season.

And Wenyan was such a pretty girl who loved beauty, how could she wear out-of-date clothing from several years ago?

Wenyan was unaware of what Shen Jingxiu was thinking.

She had chosen that particular coat for two reasons.

First, she wanted to pick a more dignified color.

Second, she had wanted to wear her original self’s clothes for the visit today, given that the person resting in the tomb was her biological mother, purely in terms of blood relation.

But Shen Jingxiu was not wrong either.

Wenyan nodded: “It is indeed very busy, but it seems like I have enough clothes to wear. Or rather, I don’t really have the chance to wear them. I’m mostly in costume while filming, and when not filming, I usually dress casually. Ah, maybe after the New Year I’ll take some time for a vacation. Then I can dress up beautifully every day, eat and drink, and take lots of photos. That would be so happy! Oh, by the way…”

Wenyan suddenly turned to Shen Jingxiu: “Do you hardly ever take a vacation?”

“Yes, I’m usually quite busy with work.”

“Don’t you have any free time, or say, make some time?”

Shen Jingxiu slightly furrowed his brows.

He had seldom been asked such questions, and he usually didn’t bring it up with others either.

But since Wenyan was the one asking, he didn’t mind answering.

“Actually, there was a time during my studies when I was quite relaxed, relatively free at that time. But after joining the company, I was eager to prove my abilities. As a result, after getting recognized, I became even busier than before, and my responsibilities increased. The time for rest has also become much less.”
