The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 583 - 316

He not only liked the way she looked at him but was also looking forward to every morning to come.

By the time the pair returned home, the rest of the family was up as well.

Seeing that they had clearly come back from a run together, Shen Jingchuan immediately started nagging.

"Look at you two, going for a morning run without inviting me. Tell me, whose idea was it? Was it the eldest or Wenyan, huh?"

Shen Jingchuan’s pestering was purely for the sake of making a fuss, and Wenyan couldn’t be bothered to entertain him.

"You talk as if you’d get up even if we called you. When have you ever exercised in the morning? If you really want to run, I’ll call you tomorrow morning. I’d like to see if you can actually get up."

Shen Jingxiu: "......" This was not the outcome he had hoped for.

He looked at Wenyan: "Stop teasing him."

After that, he turned to Shen Jingchuan: "It just so happened that we ran into each other during the run, there was no prior arrangement to exclude you. I’m off to my room to wash up; aren’t you going too, Wenyan?"

"Yes, I’ll go right away." As she spoke, Wenyan stuck her tongue out at Shen Jingchuan, "I’ll call you tomorrow morning at five o’clock sharp; brace yourself for my deadly barrage of calls, you."

Shen Jingchuan laughed: "Get lost, if you dare to disturb my sweet dreams tomorrow morning, I’ll expose you online."

"Expose me? What would you expose?"

"Hmph, I’ll just screenshot the call logs and say you’re harassing me, pining for me in vain."

"What? Hahaha!" Wenyan did not expect Shen Jingchuan’s response to be this outrageous.

She laughed so hard she was almost in tears: "Me, pining for you in vain? I’m dying of laughter; what good would you do me? Oh man, you’re just too funny."

"......" Shen Jingchuan gave Wenyan a speechless glance, "What’s so funny, P? Is it really that hilarious?"

"Hahaha, it’s not funny, not funny at all. It’s just my nature to laugh. But don’t worry, I definitely won’t call you tomorrow morning to wake you up, hahaha, I won’t give you that chance to ’pine in vain.’"

Wenyan laughed too outrageously, causing Shen Jingchuan to feel a bit annoyed inside.

What’s wrong with him, is he really that bad? Do a joke about ’pining in vain’ and this brat laughs until she’s bending backwards?

He waved his hand at Wenyan: "Hurry up and go upstairs, you’re disturbing my sight!"

"Hahaha, got it."

Wenyan was still hilariously amused, trying hard to contain herself, but her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

Shen Jinghe, who had been silent up until now, looked at Wenyan and then at Shen Jingchuan, finally fixing his gaze on Shen Jingxiu’s retreating back, slightly furrowing his brows.

After breakfast, Wenyan went to the company with Qin Yulong.

Qin Yulong handed Wenyan a folder: "I haven’t arranged your ongoing education yet. If you’re not busy, take a look at this. These are the film and television rights the company is interested in purchasing. There are several novels that are very popular; this is the result of my first round of screening. We’ll keep at most three, and it’s still uncertain whether the deals will go through."

"Let me take a look." Wenyan took the folder and carefully looked it over, "Judging by these promotional words, they all seem to be of good quality. Have you read the originals?"

"Not yet. They run into the hundreds of thousands of words, and I don’t have the time right now."

"I’ll take a look then, and also learn how best-selling novels plot their stories."

"Sure, go ahead."

They both got to their respective tasks, and the office was incredibly quiet, with only the occasional sound of Qin Yulong operating the mouse and keyboard.

Suddenly, the quiet of the office was broken by a burst of human voices, clearly Qin Yulong had opened a video.

Wenyan even heard a familiar voice.
