The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 606 - 338

Wenyan blinked her eyes.

"[Why isn’t he smiling this time? Could it be that I guessed right? Tsk, it’s troublesome not to have the original host’s memories. No matter, I’ll just wait for him to come to me, ready to deal with whatever comes my way!]"

"......" This time, Shen Jingcheng didn’t continue to look at Wenyan; however, his frown deepened.

This was the most complete family gathering the Shen Family had in many years, with a simple dinner lasting till eleven o’clock at night.

Of course, the main activity of this dinner wasn’t ’eating’ but ’talking.’ With eight family members, just casually striking up a conversation about someone’s affairs could take up more than ten minutes.

But this time, the main subject was Shen Jingcheng, with most of the conversation revolving around him.

He wasn’t aloof like his other brothers; he answered every question and spoke in a way that was very comfortable to listen to.

Wenyan was particularly interested in his work, and she didn’t want to pry into whatever ’grudges’ or stories the original host and Shen Jingcheng had in the past.

After all, if Shen Jingcheng touched on topics she was interested in, she wouldn’t miss the chance to delve deeper into the conversation.

So, by the end of the dinner, the whole family knew she was planning a cultural exploration reality show.

She hadn’t even broached the subject when Shen Jingcheng offered to be the cultural adviser for her program.

To Wenyan, this was a pleasant surprise, "Thank you so much, third brother. Actually, Yulong and I were planning this program when mom called to say you were coming back today. Later, on the way back, we were thinking about inviting you, but worried you might not be interested. Now, this is great; you’ve solved a big problem for us!"

Shen Jingcheng smiled at Wenyan, "I’m very interested and hope to be of help to you both this time."

"Yes, a family should help each other," Su Yang was pleased with the outcome, and added, "Oh Wenyan, if you need any help with the costume design, just let me know. Mom has resources."

"Got it, mom, thank you."

"Oh right," Su Yang resumed questioning Shen Jingcheng, "you won’t be going on business trips anymore, right? Otherwise, how can you be a consultant for your sisters if you’re unreachable half the time? "

"Mom," Shen Jingcheng chuckled, "I don’t think I’ll have any assignments for the next couple of years. Even if there’s a significant discovery, I can’t be the only one responsible for it."

"Exactly, exactly!" Su Yang couldn’t wait to have her son around for a bit longer, "Others should also have a chance. Well then, you guys do your best. Mom is looking forward to your new program. The TV shows lately aren’t good—I have high hopes for you!"

"It’s still early for that, mom," Wenyan said, "Cultural programs can’t be rushed; it probably won’t be done for two or three years."

"Then I’ll wait for two or three years. Good things are worth the wait!"

"Then please come to the company tomorrow, third brother," Qin Yulong said, "so we can meet with the team and have a meeting. Even though we’re family, we still need to follow the proper contract procedure."

Shen Jingcheng nodded, "Alright, I agree to the meeting first. But for the contract, I need to report to my superiors. There shouldn’t be any problems, basically."

The collaboration was thus agreed upon.

Since it was too late after dinner, Wenyan didn’t arrange to go for a walk with Qin Yulong.

She went to the third-floor terrace alone.

The terrace was about a hundred square meters, and Wenyan often came here for fresh air.

Sometimes she watched the clouds on a lounge chair, other times the stars, and sometimes she simply enjoyed the breeze and the cool air.

As for tonight, she was there to watch the snow.

By this time, the snow had almost stopped, but the air that filled her lungs still carried a fresh chill.

Wenyan liked this scent very much, just as she enjoyed the earthy smell in the air after the rain.

Without thinking, she took another deep breath.

Yet, before she could exhale, a gentle but somewhat unfamiliar male voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Are you here too?"

It was precisely because the voice was unfamiliar that Wenyan immediately knew the newcomer was Shen Jingcheng.

She immediately turned around, "Third Brother, you’re here too? Could it be that you’re a night owl just like me?"

Shen Jingcheng walked up to Wenyan with a smile and then stopped a step away from her.

"I’m not a night owl. If conditions allow, I usually go to bed early. But just like you, I like the terrace at home. I remember when you first came to our house, you loved the terrace on the third floor the most. Once, you even scared mom and dad. Do you remember that?"

Wenyan took a deep breath and chose to play dumb, "Ah? Did that happen? I don’t remember at all. Not even a bit."

"Really?" Shen Jingcheng still wore a smile, "You forgot even such a thrilling incident?"

"Yes, Third Brother, you should also know that because of the fake Zhirou affair, I was out of my mind for quite a long time. My mind was all muddled then, and after figuring things out, I forgot many of the past events."

Shen Jingcheng nodded with a smile, "I see, but how could that incident have suddenly affected your memory? How’s your health? Did you go for a medical checkup afterward?"

"... No. My health is completely fine, so there’s really no need to go for a medical checkup. I think it’s more of a psychological effect."

After answering, Wenyan couldn’t help but complain in her heart.

[This guy’s been smiling the whole time, but why do I feel like his smile is so insincere? Is he suspecting me? It’s strange how people work; he shares the same face as Shen Jingchuan, yet the way he smiles and the feeling he gives off are totally different.]

[After the original Wenyan left completely, I lost all her memories. Shen Jingcheng isn’t planning to reminisce with me here all night, is he? If that’s the case, I’ll only reveal more flaws.]

Upon hearing Wenyan’s innermost thoughts, the smile on Shen Jingcheng’s face finally faltered.

This woman, who looked exactly like Wenyan, said that the original Wenyan had left—what did that mean? freewёbnoνel.com

Could it be that they were twin sisters? But to his knowledge, Wenyan didn’t have a twin sister.

Besides, even if they were twins, why would she say that after the original Wenyan left, she [completely lost] her [memory]?

Instead of saying, before the original Wenyan left, she didn’t explain these things to her.

A person’s memory itself can’t be transferred through a carrier.

And the fact he could hear her inner voice was bizarre in itself.

What on earth was going on?

Or did it have something to do with his mysterious discovery in pit number 46?

"You..." Shen Jingcheng wanted to ask her directly who she really was, but he wasn’t sure he could get an answer from her.

He didn’t know her well enough, not at all.

Seeing him suddenly silent, Wenyan chimed in, "Ah? What’s wrong with me?"

"I wanted to ask,"

However, before Shen Jingcheng could finish, Wenyan’s phone started ringing.
