The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 546 - 297

Shen Jinghe was always blunt, his only flaw being his somewhat venomous tongue.

As soon as Wenyan finished speaking, his voice rang out.

"I was surfing online when you called me. You must have seen my reply to you on the web. Otherwise, why would you think of me during your busy schedule? I thought you had died since we haven’t been in touch for days."

"..." Wenyan was at a loss for words, "Bro, do you talk about your sister like that? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"

"Not at all, my conscience is feeling quite fine right now."

"Okay, okay, let’s stick to the main topic. Have you finished work for the day? You actually have time to go online?"

Shen Jinghe replied irritably, "Isn’t that obvious? If I hadn’t finished work, how could I answer your call?"

"Jeez! Just talk without getting snappy at me all the time. Why do you sound like you’ve swallowed a gun today? Did the filming not go well, or did someone make you angry?"

"No, no one dares to make me angry. Besides, aren’t you the one who’s known me for years? Haven’t you already labeled me as a sharp-tongued man?"

"That’s true, but seriously, have you already returned to the hotel now, or are you in the car, or still at the set?"

"The hotel."

"Then I’ll give you a video call. I always feel like you’re scolding me if I can’t see your expressions."

"Whatever, you really are a pain."

Despite what he said, Shen Jinghe immediately hung up the phone.

Wenyan was so stunned by the speed that she paused for a moment.

’Hmm, he must have encountered something unpleasant today!’ Wenyan thought to herself, deciding that she would comfort him later.

The video call connected quickly.

However, the first thing Wenyan saw was the ceiling, followed by the sound of an electric toothbrush vibrating.

"Are you brushing your teeth?"

"Yeah, unlike you, busy interacting with people online so late."

Wenyan snorted, "Look who’s talking? Weren’t you also online just now? Plus, today is the grand finale of ’Legend of Chang’an’; I definitely had to come online to show my face, otherwise it would be insincere."

"Ha, others wind up their business at eight or nine, but you keep going until almost midnight."

"Well, I got carried away! After I finished, I even did a live stream. Seriously though, can you finish brushing and take a look at me?"

"What’s there to look at? Can I see you putting on weight?"

"No, if you won’t look at me, then this video call is pointless, isn’t it?"

"Then wait for me. I have to brush for at least three minutes."

"Alright, alright, I’m waiting. Forget it, I might as well go brush my teeth too."

"Do whatever you want."

Thus, Wenyan took her phone to the bathroom, and they both brushed their teeth in silence, neither speaking.

After a few minutes, the sound from Shen Jinghe’s side stopped first, and then a clean and handsome face appeared on the phone screen.

Wenyan was still deeply engrossed in brushing her teeth, completely unaware of Shen Jinghe’s movements.

Seeing her brush her teeth with such dedication, Shen Jinghe inadvertently let out a small laugh in the video.

"Your teeth are pretty white."

Hearing Shen Jinghe speak, Wenyan picked up her phone and adjusted the angle.

"Well, of course, they are. Did you think you met me yesterday? Don’t you know how many toothpaste brands want me as an endorser, but I haven’t agreed to any of them?"

"Oh? Why haven’t you agreed?"

"I don’t want to. Heard that once you endorse something, you can’t use other brands, but I like buying all sorts of toothpaste when I go to the supermarket. I love the shiny toothpastes; they just look so appetizing. Check out this one I am using now, with a fresh mint flavor, like a blue ocean."

As she spoke, Wenyan squeezed some toothpaste out to show Shen Jinghe.

It was just an ordinary toothpaste, but watching her share it with such earnestness made Shen Jinghe smile involuntarily.

Wenyan caught the movement of his lips right away.

"There, you smiled. I knew a video call was the way to go. Tell me, were you in a bad mood today? You even replied to my update and shocked all the netizens, you know? Did something get to you today?"

"Nothing happened."

"You’re acting out of the ordinary, aren’t you?" Wenyan finished brushing her teeth and took her phone back to the bedroom. "We’re family, no need to be so formal with me! Just tell me, I can keep secrets, I won’t leak anything."

Shen Jinghe gave Wenyan a look, "So, you’re hoping I’m not happy?"
