The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 407 - 247

Chapter 407 -247
Generally, during that time, Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe would take the initiative to contact her, and no matter how busy she was, she would make time to chat with them.
Only Shen Jingxiu, due to some unknown reason, had been set to “Do Not Disturb” for messages, so she never replied to him.
Damn! This was way too impolite.
Wenyan hurriedly sent a message to Shen Jingxiu to apologize.
‘Big Brother, are you there? I have to tell you something that even I find a bit unbelievable, but I swear it’s true.
That is, I don’t know how it happened, I have no memory of it, but you’ve been set to “Do Not Disturb” for messages by me.
And because I get so many messages, I never saw any you sent before. I know this is very impolite, but I really didn’t mean to not reply to you.
Please, you must forgive me!’
After sending several messages in a row, Wenyan sat cross-legged on the couch waiting for a reply.
This actually wasn’t her style.
She was never one to dwell on internal strife.
Normally, she would send a message and then go about her business, not continuously staring at the chat box.
But today was different.
Today, she was apologizing.
The more anxious she was, the more elusive the response seemed.

One minute passed, then two, and still no reply from Shen Jingxiu came.
Therefore, Wenyan set a time for herself.
Five minutes.
She decided to wait at most five minutes.
If Shen Jingxiu still hadn’t appeared after five minutes, she would call him.
Another three minutes passed.
Wenyan’s hanging heart finally sank.
She immediately straightened her back and dialed Shen Jingxiu’s number.
The phone rang several times, and just when Wenyan thought no one would answer, it suddenly connected.
“Hello, Big Brother! I,”
However, Wenyan hadn’t even gotten half her sentence out when the call was abruptly cut off by the other party.
Shen Jingxiu had actually hung up the call.
Wenyan held the phone with her mouth agape, frozen in that pose on the couch.
He actually hung up the call.
Without exaggeration, this was the first time this had happened since they had met.
Wenyan felt a little sad.
But before the negative emotions could spread, someone suddenly sent her a video call invitation.
She picked up her phone, and to her surprise, it was Shen Jingxiu.
Wenyan immediately tapped to accept.
“Hello,” because it was face-to-face video, Wenyan acted more normal, not as excessively eager as she had been on the phone just moments before.
“Big Brother, why did you hang up earlier?”
Shen Jingxiu on the other end of the video shifted the camera: “I was driving.”
“I see.” That explained it; it really wasn’t safe to look at one’s phone while driving.
“So, have you stopped the car now?”
“Yeah.” Whether it was the angle of the camera or because they hadn’t seen each other for so many days, Wenyan felt that Shen Jingxiu’s face seemed much thinner, and his voice carried a bit more of a world-weary tone.
“I’ve pulled over to the side of the road. By the way, I saw the messages you sent just now.”
Actually, a phone call would have sufficed for these things.
But it was while the phone was ringing that Fen Shiyu saw the messages Wenyan had sent.
After sending those messages and then calling him, Shen Jingxiu guessed that Wenyan must be somewhat anxious.
That’s why he stopped his car and sent the video call, to let her know he really had been driving and not just ignoring her messages on purpose.
“Your situation is understandable, I don’t blame you, so you don’t need my forgiveness.”
Wenyan recognized he was responding to the messages she had just sent.
She smiled and said, “It’s good you don’t blame me. It’s just that I had a bit of free time today, so I went through my phone.”
“Yeah, I know you’re busy. Where are you now, at a hotel?”
“No, I’m at the office. I’m actually with Yulong right now; this is her office, she’s dealing with some work. Are you working late again tonight, heading home?”
“Yes, I just got back from a business trip abroad.”
As he said this, Shen Jingxiu unconsciously glanced at the passenger seat.
He went out of his way during his business trip to pick up some handmade chocolates from the shop that Wenyan liked.
Originally, he had considered sending her a message, but since she kept not replying, he wasn’t sure what she meant by it, whether she was just too busy or if he had unintentionally offended her and made her upset.
He had also thought about calling her, but before he could take action, her messages and then her call came first.
