He stood in front of the desk, slightly bent over as he shut down the computer, while speaking to Wenyan.
“Go back to your room and grab a coat, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
“Oh, okay!” To avoid waste, Wenyan simply tilted her head back and finished the remaining juice in the cup.
After setting down the cup, she suggested to Shen Jingxiu, “Why don’t you wait for me in the living room, Big Brother? I’d like to tidy up a bit, I’m somewhat unpolished right now.”
Shen Jingxiu thought to himself that her so-called ‘unpolished’ look was actually quite natural and charming. However, since they were going to visit her biological mother’s grave, and it was her first visit after so many years, naturally, she wanted to be somewhat formal.
He could understand all that, “No problem, take your time, I’m not in a hurry. I actually have a few phone calls to make.”
His phone seemed eager to prove him right, as no sooner had he finished speaking, the ringtone sounded.
Wenyan immediately waved her hand at him, “Then you go ahead, I’m off to my room, I promise I’ll be quick.”
Shen Jingxiu nodded, “No rush, go ahead.”
“Okay!” Wenyan said and then trotted away.
Watching her hasty departure, Shen Jingxiu’s lips curved slightly upward.
This was how she was meant to be.
As for those who had nearly stifled her happiness, Shen Jingxiu narrowed his eyes and picked up the call.
He had purposely waited for Wenyan to be far enough away, making sure she couldn’t hear his voice, before he answered the call.
“Yes, just do as he says, no need to be lenient.”

The call ended quickly, and Shen Jingxiu promptly left the villa with his things.

Wenyan took less than ten minutes to apply a simple makeup. She then specially chose a black coat from her own wardrobe to wear.
After everything was ready, she hurriedly ran to the second floor with her bag in tow.
First, she checked Shen Jingxiu’s study and saw that the door was locked, which told her he was definitely not there.
She rushed down to the first floor, only to find Shen Jingxiu absent from the hall as well. It was obvious he had gone to wait in the car.
Wenyan quickly changed her shoes and went outside.
As soon as she appeared at the entrance, Shen Jingxiu immediately drove the car over.
Opening the passenger’s side door, a blast of warm air hit her face.
“It’s so warm in the car,” Wenyan remarked, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have worn a coat. Did you wait long, Big Brother? I told you to wait in the living room.”
“I didn’t wait long, just came out early to turn on the heater.” Shen Jingxiu wasn’t wearing a coat either, just a grey turtleneck sweater that made him look very casual, warm, and different from his usually icy demeanor.
He even volunteered to help her when Wenyan was taking off her coat.
“Give it to me, I’ll put it in the back for you.”
Wenyan thought to refuse, but after considering for a second, she decided to accept Shen Jingxiu’s help.
[Hmm, since he’s got longer arms. It seems more convenient for him. ]
Shen Jingxiu couldn’t help but feel a bit amused upon hearing Wenyan’s thoughts.
Even if his arms were longer, unless he tossed it, there was no way he could reach the back seats of the car.
So after taking the coat from Wenyan, he promptly opened the door and stepped out of the car.
“Eh? Big Brother,” Wenyan exclaimed in surprise, but she quickly quieted down.
This was because she saw Shen Jingxiu not only placing her coat on the back seat but also bringing over an exquisite paper bag.
She nodded to herself inwardly.
[So he went to get something, if he went just to put away the coat, that would be kind of embarrassing.]
[But what is he carrying? It’s not for me, is it? Ah, better not think that way, it would be awkward if it wasn’t.]
Therefore, when Shen Jingxiu came back, Wenyan deliberately pretended to gaze straight ahead.
“All right, we can set off now.”
“Okay,” Shen Jingxiu chuckled, starting the car and handing the sleek black paper bag to Wenyan, “This is for you.”
To prevent her from guessing wildly, Shen Jingxiu revealed the answer before she could open the paper bag.
“It’s chocolate. Having some sweets appropriately can make one’s mood better, and you might need a little.”
“No one knows me better than Big Brother! I haven’t had sweets in such a long time. You have no idea how in demand they were when we were filming in the mountains. A piece of dark chocolate no bigger than the palm of your hand was divided among more than a dozen people. Each of us got such a tiny bit, and I’ve been craving it ever since.”
