The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 640 - 367

On the way to the high-speed train station, the car was moving slower than anticipated.

Seeing Wenyan silently gazing out the window, Shen Jingcheng suddenly spoke up, "It’s not too late to turn back now."

Wenyan snapped back to reality, somewhat surprised as she turned to look at Shen Jingcheng.

"Why would you say that? I absolutely have to do this. There’s no turning back once the bow is drawn, and fleeing now would only cause me pain."

Shen Jingcheng sighed softly, "But I see you’re already in pain. Not to hide from you, I’m not feeling great either."

"Ah? You’re not feeling well either? How can that be!" Wenyan suddenly placed her hand on Shen Jingcheng’s shoulder, advising him cheerfully and dramatically, "Big Brother! We are people who do great things, we can’t get bogged down by emotional entanglements. Once we’ve decided, we must act. How can we be so hesitant?"

"You, haha..." Shen Jingcheng was amused by Wenyan’s serious demeanor and found himself unexpectedly comforted by her.

Yet her eyes sparkled, seemingly free from the sadness of last night when she was making ’final arrangements’.

He gave a forced smile and continued, "I just think it’s somewhat unfair to them."

"Don’t think like that, Big Brother," Wenyan really took up persuading him, "Nothing is absolutely fair. If we bend over backwards to make everyone else feel fair, then it becomes unfair to me, and if seeing everyone makes me not want to leave, then it’s also unfair to Fat Brother, to Xiao Meng and to Xiao Meng’s baby. Moreover, we must be clear about our goals, and right now, what we need to do is head to our destination and accomplish what we’ve planned! Don’t you think?"

Shen Jingcheng chuckled softly, "You are really unexpected."

Wenyan giggled, "Then I’ll take that as a compliment!"

"Yes, it is a compliment."

"Thank you!"

"You’re welcome."

"I really like the scenery along this road, no matter the season, the camphor trees on both sides are evergreen. In the summer, when I ride this road home, especially at night, I almost never use the air conditioning, just enjoying the breeze from outside, always able to smell the fragrance of the camphor trees, which is like a remedy that relaxes me when I am fatigued. There might be regrets, but the beauty outweighs them, even on a road I often travel, so I round it off to no regrets at all."

"Yes," Shen Jingcheng looked at Wenyan, smiling tenderly, "In the time we’ve known each other, you have been wonderful too."

"That’s great!"

While waiting for the train, Wenyan noticed Shen Jingcheng was constantly looking at his phone.

"What is it, Professor Shen, are you waiting for a message, or is there some other important task you need to undertake?"

Shen Jingcheng immediately turned off the phone and shook his head: "No, there’s nothing else important to do."

Wenyan uttered an ’Oh’.

But just as she spoke, Shen Jingcheng’s phone rang.

However, he was quick to act, flipping the phone screen down after briefly lighting up and simultaneously, he pressed the power button twice to hang up the call.

To Wenyan, this behavior could only be described in four words—’sneaky and secretive.’

She grew curious, "Professor Shen, why aren’t you answering the call?"

Shen Jingcheng smiled, "It’s not an important call."

"But..." Wenyan glanced at Shen Jingcheng, "I just happened to see the caller ID, it was Big Brother’s call. As twin brothers, is your bond really that weak?"

Shen Jingcheng was momentarily startled, clearly not expecting Wenyan to have seen the caller ID in such a brief moment.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, I did it on purpose. I don’t really like talking on the phone. If he needs something, it’s best he texts me or talks to me face-to-face."

"Hmm..." Wenyan nodded, "No wonder you always come to talk to me in person, and good thing I haven’t been calling you unnecessarily."

Shen Jingcheng continued to smile softly, "But my phone is on 24/7, and I probably won’t change it all my life. No matter where you are in the future, you can always call me. I hope I can answer."

"Wow! A connection to another world?" Wenyan also chuckled, "Then you guys better study that well. I mean, it probably isn’t managed by your department, right? But not a big deal, I’ve memorized every patent you gave me without missing a word, so memorizing one phone number isn’t a big deal either."

"Good, then memorize it, and don’t forget. They’re starting to check tickets now; let’s go."

Shen Jingcheng let Wenyan go ahead of him.

Then he pulled out his phone from his pocket and sent Shen Jingchuan a screenshot.

The screenshot contained information about the train he was about to board, including the train number and departure point.
