“Ss——”
When the towel wrapped with ice cubes lightly touched Wen Xian’s wrist, she couldn’t hold back from shrinking back slightly. Her skin was originally white, now the circle of green and purple on top appeared somewhat scary.
Shen Lingge let out a low sigh: “Why so delicate.”
Wen Xian pursed her lips. After being quiet for a while, she started muttering again: “Is it that you just don’t want to tell me where this money came from?”
Shen Lingge didn’t want to make up lies to deceive her anymore. In the future, she would always have to know. His long eyelashes slightly lowered: “I will tell you, just now is not the right time. Don’t worry, I won’t have any problem.”
He raised his eyes to look at her: “As long as you believe me.”
Wen Xian tilted her head and thought for a while, she softly confirmed: “The Mr. Chi you talked about really exists?”
Shen Lingge held her small half section of arm, and responded: “Mm, he is my friend. That day the little girl tricked here by someone was indeed his younger sister. I didn’t lie to you.”
He explained in a calm voice: “We beforehand all didn’t know it was you who called the police.”
Wen Xian blinked her eyes: “Why did you want to go traveling to Mingcheng at that time?”
Shen Lingge’s reason for leaving Licheng at the beginning was wanting to travel. At first Wen Xian thought it was that he wanted to go see the outside world. But thinking about it now, it felt a little strange. Why was it exactly Mingcheng?
Shen Lingge was silent for a moment: “This, later I’ll tell you together.”
Wen Xian originally thought it was her who needed to take care of this person she had created. But now the situation seemed reversed, she was the one being taken care of everywhere by him.
She felt that Yu simply didn’t seem like some ancient relic, more like some kind of high-tech product.
But ever since Yu appeared by her side, she had already gradually accepted its miraculous aspects. Now Shen Lingge in front of her was the same. In the end, she chose to believe in him and Yu.
She cautiously asked: “In the future you really will tell me?”
Shen Lingge answered in a low voice: “Mm.”
After Shen Lingge’s sentence fell, the two of them both fell into silence. This kind of silence continued until Shen Lingge told Wen Xian that he would return to Mingcheng tomorrow morning.
Wen Xian was stunned for a moment: “Going to work?”
Shen Lingge let out a low laugh: “If I don’t work, how can I support the little princess of our family?”
Wen Xian: “……”
Wen Xian blushed again. She suddenly retracted her hand: “I… I’m sleepy, I’m going to sleep.”
Wen Xian lowered her head not daring to look at Shen Lingge. After speaking she also didn’t care what reaction Shen Lingge would have, and with a little run she slipped back upstairs.
Until closing the door, her heart was still thumping wildly. Wen Xian pressed her own chest and lightly gasped. After that she quickly walked to the washroom and faced the woman with a red face in the mirror.
Wen Xian let out a small scream and then turned around to run towards the bed. Not caring about Qiuqiu who was lying on the bed, she jumped up and pounced onto the bed, not moving. Qiuqiu was startled by her and bounced away.
Wen Xian’s heart now was a complete mess.
After playing dead for a moment, she fished out her phone and began typing rapidly.
Famous search engine: What does it feel like to like someone?
First highly liked answer: You will specifically search this question because of him.
Wen Xian: “………”
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah——”
After Wen Xian bit onto the blanket and let out a few muffled ‘wuwu’ sounds, she realized she really had come to like Shen Lingge. After taking a breath, she flipped over and lay on her back on the bed, blankly looking at the hazy lights.
At this moment, knocking sounds came from outside the door. Shen Lingge’s voice was very deep: “Wen Xian, did you fall off the bed again?”
Wen Xian: “……”
She realized Shen Lingge was really a dog man. When coaxing her, he would call her Xian Xian, but usually he would very ruthlessly call her full name.
She lightly hummed, then loudly shouted: “I already fell asleep!”
Outside the door it was quiet for a moment. After quite a while, he finally instructed: “Sleep early, don’t turn off the lights and then start surfing the internet, if you’re hungry call the servant to get up, you’re not allowed to eat turkey noodles in the middle of the night.”
Wen Xian pretended dead and didn’t speak.
Not long after, it became completely quiet.
That night Wen Xian tossed and turned the whole night and didn’t fall asleep. It wasn’t until the sky was slightly bright that she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep. Before sleeping, she was still thinking she’d just sleep for a little while and then get up.
She wanted to send Shen Lingge to the airport.
Seven o’clock in the morning.
Shen Lingge, wearing a suit, sat at the dining table. He was confirming today’s schedule. This afternoon he had to attend a business meeting, and in the evening there was also an industry banquet.
Starting from tomorrow, he had to finalize the itinerary for going overseas for inspection in the second half of the year. The provisional time was two months.
The butler walked from outside the door to the dining table, slightly bending over: “Young master, the car is ready, can depart for the airport at any time.”
Shen Lingge raised his eyes and glanced toward the stairway. After a moment he said in a low voice: “No need to wake her, tell Duoduo, try to let Miss go to work at Shen Corporation. If she doesn’t want to, just let her.”
The butler answered: “Yes.”
At the instant Shen Lingge stepped out of the villa, his footsteps paused for a moment. Wen Xianxian, with it’s small short legs, followed behind him. Seeing him stop, it opened it’s mouth and called out twice, attempting to attract his attention.
Shen Lingge lowered his eyes and glanced at the lively little golden retriever. He squatted down and rubbed its head: “Accompany her well.”
—
When Wen Xian woke up, it was already twelve o’clock noon. She sleepily blinked her heavy eyelids. After realizing something, she immediately bounced up from the bed.
She ran out of the room and flusteredly started shouting: “Duoduo! Ah ah ah——”
Duoduo hurriedly ran upstairs from the living room, anxiously asking: “Miss, what’s wrong?”
Wen Xian expectantly yet nervously asked: “Did Gege leave?”
Duoduo saw that what she asked about was Shen Lingge, and only then let out a breath of relief: “Miss, Sir left early in the morning. Are you hungry? I’ll go tell the chef to prepare lunch right now.”
Hearing this, Wen Xian immediately drooped her eyes in disappointment. She weakly said: “I’ll go wash my face and brush my teeth.”
Duoduo softly comforted: “Sir will come to see you when he has time. If you miss Sir, you can also go to Mingcheng to see him.”
Hm?
Wen Xian raised her eyes and looked at Duoduo. These days it had always been him coming back from Mingcheng to see her. For a moment she actually forgot that she could also go to Mingcheng to see him.
Wen Xian blinked her eyes and asked: “Duoduo, do you know how to find him in Mingcheng?”
Duoduo momentarily fell into silence.
Miss didn’t know Young Master’s identity. Should she bring Miss to Shen Corporation or bring Miss back to Shen Residence?
So Duoduo hesitated and said: “It should be… possible… right?”
Thinking this way, Wen Xian became happy again. She ran back into the room with dada dada steps, not forgetting to throw down a sentence: “Duoduo, let’s go see him this weekend, you’re not allowed to tell him!”
Duoduo frowned in distress.
After Wen Xian finished eating, she began seriously considering her major life event. Among the three companies she had sent her resume to, she had only gone to interview at two. The other one told her they had already filled the position.
But these two companies, in Wen Xian’s view, both felt a bit strange.
She sighed in worry.
Duoduo, seeing Wen Xian’s tangled appearance, thought of the words the butler had instructed, and tentatively asked: “Miss, are you troubled about work matters?”
Wen Xian rested her chin on her hand and nodded: “Mm, these two companies are both top 100 companies in Licheng, but… but I just always feel something’s not quite right. If not for the company addresses being correct, I’d even suspect I went to the wrong place.”
Duoduo lightly laughed: “Perhaps it’s really because Miss is very outstanding.”
Wen Xian: “……”
The only thing she was confident in was her painting skill. These years she had never once failed in painting. Moreover, last month she had even created her most excellent work so far. [TN: What level of confidence is this]
She hesitated and said: “Duoduo, which company do you think I should go to? That Port City company only requires accompanying the boss when he’s on business trips. Shen Corporation is an office job from nine to five. Speaking of which, it’s strange, such a big company like Shen Corporation actually has weekends off.”
“Looking at the work model, that Port City company seems more flexible. Also, going abroad on business trips would help improve my professional level. It’s just the time is uncertain, might have to go on a trip at any time.”
While Duoduo was worrying about how to persuade Wen Xian to go to Shen Corporation, Qiuqiu happened to walk over wagging its tail, and then she glanced at Wen Xianxian who was sticking out her tongue, suddenly having an idea.
Duoduo softly said: “Miss, if you often go on business trips, these little guys won’t be able to see you. And if Sir has time to come over, your meeting times might not match up.”
Wen Xian frowned and thought for a while: “That’s true.”
Duoduo added: “And starting tonight, you’ll be going to class. If you go to that Port City company, in the future you might have to ask for leave.”
Wen Xian had a completely dumbfounded face: “……Ah?”
She widened her eyes and asked: “What class am I attending?”
Duoduo slightly smiled: “Sir signed you up for an art class, Miss.”
Wen Xian: ?
Wen Xian asked in disbelief: “With my level I still need to sign up for an art class? I’m a genius, okay!”
Duoduo: “……”
This sentence she really couldn’t respond to.
In the end, Wen Xian still compromised for the sake of the two little things at home. Zanzan was taken to Mingcheng by Shen Lingge again. He seemed to be addicted to using Zanzan to threaten her.
Wen Xian called to turn down Benoy, then called Shen Corporation to confirm the work start time.
She, Wen Xian, starting from Monday, would have a job!
Wen Xian happily shared this good news with Shen Lingge.
When Shen Lingge received the message, he was in the middle of a meeting. Seeing that Wen Xian had chosen to go to Shen Corporation, he let out a rather proud hum, startling Assistant Xiao Song beside him.
Shen Lingge turned his head and spoke in a low voice: “Give a raise to the butler team in Licheng.”
Assistant Xiao Song nodded.
Compared to Shen Lingge’s good mood, Wen Xian’s happiness only lasted until before entering the classroom.
After she finished eating, she was urged by Duoduo to come to class. This was a private art studio; she heard that the art teachers here were the most professional in all of Licheng, each possessing unique skills.
Wen Xian secretly thought, no matter how impressive, they couldn’t be more impressive than her little baby Yu.
The little baby happily bounced a few times in her bag upon hearing this.
Wen Xian didn’t notice that when the art teacher saw her, there was a brief moment of unnatural expression. She followed behind the teacher walking toward the classroom. Before even reaching the classroom, Wen Xian already felt something was a bit off.
Why… so many children’s voices?
When Wen Xian walked to the classroom entrance, her whole person froze. The eight little kids in the class all turned their heads together to look at her. On each child’s face was the aura of “I am the fresh flower of the motherland.”
And she…
Just as Wen Xian was about to turn around and leave, she heard the teacher say: “Let’s welcome the new classmate!”
The little kids all clapped for her with blank faces. They also seemed not to know why the new classmate looked a bit older than them, everyone’s face full of curiosity.
Wen Xian: “……”
Ah ah ah ah ah ah she was going to kill Shen Lingge!
