Hai City Shengchuan Courtyard Hotel.
Shen Yan stared at the handsome young man in front of her with a slightly serious expression.
Shen Zheng put his luggage aside and greeted Liu Su before locking eyes with Shen Yan.
The siblings met, facing each other in silence, the atmosphere still seemed a bit tense.
Liu Su, an outsider, quickly kept his distance, not wanting to get involved in the scene!
Shen Zheng had just finished his work and flew directly to Hai City; he was too tired to engage in a verbal battle with Shen Yan. Adjusting his tie, he sat down on a nearby chair, “Qi Si didn’t come with you?”
His expression and tone were somewhat cold.
“He’s busy.”
“Too busy to even spend New Year’s with you? Did he forget that you two are married?”
There was a hint of reproach in his words.
Shen Yan believed there was nothing wrong with a man focusing on his career, so she felt it necessary to speak a fair word for Qi Si.
“He’s not fooling around outside; he’s handling his career, and I understand that.”
“You understand?” Shen Zheng gave her a sideway glance, “Of course, you understand, because you don’t care at all.”
If she didn’t care anymore, what did it matter whether Qi Si spent New Year’s with her or not?
It was too obvious, and it was understandable that her family might misinterpret her actions.
“I support his career,” she retorted, the idea of a man always being lovesick was simply unreasonable.
Shen Zheng pressed his brow, “Sit down, I’m not going to eat you. Where did that argumentative spirit from the other day go? For a man, you heartlessly abandoned your family, Shen Yan, you really have some nerve.”
And in the end, they had to be the ones to lower their heads.
Mainly, she had some real gall!
Shen Yan sat opposite him, composed herself, and met Shen Zheng’s eyes.
Shen Zheng saw Shen Yan’s serious and somewhat restrained eyes and frowned again.
Restrained?
Was this something Shen Yan should display?
At home, she could be quite domineering.
Facing him, her older brother, she had always been fearless.
It was incredible to him that he could now detect restraint in Shen Yan.
“Before, I was immature,” Shen Yan apologized on behalf of the original owner to her family.
But the apology seemed a bit stiff.
Before her rebirth, Shen Yan was the eldest child, always accommodating her younger siblings, and her parents rarely communicated with her, habitually leaving her to take care of the younger ones.
Although they had a nanny at home, she, as the eldest sister, was expected to assist.
When her parents were home, they were mostly affectionate with her siblings, seeing her as the mature eldest daughter who shouldn’t quarrel over these things.
Thus, it was rare for Shen Yan to sit down and have a conversation with her so-called family members like she was doing now.
To her, this was quite an extraordinary event.
Shen Zheng, as if hearing some unbelievable joke, stared at her in astonishment.
After a long while.
“Is your brain really okay?”
Shen Yan: “…”
He had just spoiled the atmosphere.
“What medicine did Qi Si give you?” to make you apologize to him!
Shen Yan: “…”
“Yanyan,” Shen Zheng straightened up and became serious, “Now that you are married to Qi Si, stop thinking about that Mu guy.”
“I wasn’t thinking about him.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t you want to come home?” Trying to fool him?
“I’m busy.”
Shen Zheng’s handsome face darkened, “How can the entertainment industry keep you so busy?”
That murky place, you should have left long ago.
“I don’t want to spend the family’s money.”
“Heh, you’ve really grown up,” Shen Zheng scornfully sneered, “Being a star leaves you with no privacy. You have to keep covered up everywhere you go; isn’t that uncomfortable?”
“A bit.”
“Then quit.”
“I can’t for now,” Shen Yan met Shen Zheng’s annoyed gaze and explained, “I like being a star.”
It kept her safe.
Shen Zheng’s handsome face grew even darker.
“Why don’t you just admit it, it’s for that Mu guy.”
In the end, it’s still about a man.
Shen Yan felt it necessary to clear up the misunderstanding, “Compared to Mu Jincheng, I prefer Qi Si.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Zheng wanted to laugh, “Don’t try to fool me with that talk. You’re scared to death of Qi Si, you must be saying this with your conscience covered. Did Qi Si force you?”
Shen Yan: “…Qi Si isn’t scary.”
He is very gentle.
Shen Zheng looked at her suspiciously several times again.
“Fine, I’ll give you credit for speaking up for Qi Si. Hearing you say you like him gives me the chills.”
Shen Yan: “…”
It wasn’t that she liked him, but that she was making a comparison, trying to explain to him.
Forget it.
Their conversation wasn’t on the same wavelength. She couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore.
They would understand eventually.
“Since he’s not in Hai City, pack up and come back to Beijing with me for the New Year’s celebration.”
It’s the New Year, and yet coming here doesn’t seem bleak?
The next thing Shen Yan said made Shen Zheng’s mouth twitch, “I’m waiting for Qi Si.”
*
Shen Zheng gloomily stayed, waiting together with Shen Yan for Qi Si to return.
The New Year was just around the corner. Could Qi Si make it back in time?
No.
Shen Zheng sensed something was not right.
Why did Shen Yan need to wait for Qi Si to celebrate New Year?
Despite the awkwardness, Shen Zheng took out his laptop and hid in his room to tackle the accumulated work.
Everyone in the company was off waiting for the New Year, and here he was, the CEO, still diligently working through it. Thinking about the loving, indifferent couples at home, the intensity with which Shen Zheng typed carried a bit of resentment!
Shen Yan, experiencing her first interaction with her nominal elder brother, was very satisfied.
There wasn’t any discomfort.
She quite liked this elder brother.
Liu Su sneaked over to Shen Yan, pointing at the closed room door, “Young Master Shen didn’t start fighting with his wife, did he?”
Shen Yan said, “We are getting along harmoniously.”
“Really?” Liu Su was suspicious, “I remember Young Master Shen previously said that if he saw his wife again, he’d break her legs.”
Shen Yan: “…”
She really didn’t know about that.
“Since you didn’t argue, Uncle Liu is relieved. I saw Young Master Shen hurried over here, looking unwell. Young Master Shen is also pretty pitiful, being driven out of his house during New Year’s… This time, since Young Master Shen has come, Madam should seize the opportunity to reconcile well with the family.”
Liu Su handed Shen Yan his outside food container and added, “I think Young Master Shen probably hasn’t eaten. Madam, send it in. Find a topic and chat more.”
Shen Zheng handed over the ladder, so quickly descend it.
The soothing of relations between Shen Yan and her family was only good for her and Qi Si.
“With such workaholics, irregular meals can lead to stomach diseases. Madam, take good care of the family’s health.”
Seeing Shen Yan knocking on Shen Zheng’s door, Liu Su quickly added something and fled.
Shen Yan gazed at his rapidly retreating figure: “…”
Shen Zheng, busy with work, suddenly heard a commotion outside, his brow furrowed.
The knock on the door behind him halted his move to close the window.
Opening the door to see Shen Yan, Shen Zheng stepped aside to let her in, “If there’s something, wait until I’ve finished my work.”
“Uncle Liu asked me to bring you some food…”
Outside.
The commotion suddenly intensified.
Shen Zheng frowned, “What’s going on?”
Both walked to the window to look out and were immediately baffled by the massive crowd outside.
Was there some incident on the island?
Shen Yan glanced at the direction the crowd was heading, opened the food container, saw a piece of braised pork rib, picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth, “There must be some big news, just wait and watch.”
Shen Zheng was stunned, “What news?”
On the other side.
Mu Jincheng covered his backside, his face dark as he watched paparazzi and the crowd swarm into the leisure hotel.
Where did all these people come from, don’t they have homes to go to for the New Year?
Chu Jing cowered behind Mu Jincheng, seeing the scene in front of her, she subtly curled her lips in an angle unseen by others.
Mu Jincheng was here. How could she miss this perfect opportunity!
