Shen Tianxing quickly left the house with her two older brothers, preparing to return to the Shen residence.
On the way back, Shen Tianxing continued to act coquettishly with her brothers.
“Brothers, when we get back, don’t tell Mom and Dad about me and Xie Linchuan yet! Got it?”
“Got it, don’t worry, we won’t say anything!” Shen Tianhe, who was driving, replied casually.
Shen Tianxing then turned her gaze to Shen Tianchen in the passenger seat.
“Second brother”
Shen Tianchen: Spare me!
“My dear sister, don’t worry. If big brother doesn’t say anything, I definitely won’t either. I still want our parents to live a few more years!”
“Do you think your earth-shattering reversal is something even big brother and I, who stayed up all night, could figure out…?”
“Let alone Mom and Dad!!!!”
Shen Tianxing nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with Shen Tianchen.
“Second brother is right, so let’s not say anything for now. Besides, I thought about it last night, and you’re right—the initiative is in our family’s hands now. Calling off this engagement will be as easy as turning over our palms.”
“There’s no need for Xie Linchuan to come out and complicate things. So, let’s deal with Fu Jinyan quietly first. Once things are stable, we can tell Mom and Dad. That way, Dad will also find it easier to accept Xie Linchuan!”
‘Tch~!’ Shen Tianhe glanced at Shen Tianxing through the rearview mirror while driving.
“Don’t worry, Dad’s impression of Xie Linchuan is much better than that Fu Jinyan’s!”
“If it weren’t for you being so desperate to marry Fu Jinyan back then, Dad might have even taken the initiative to discuss a marriage alliance between the Shen and Xie families with Old Master Xie.”
“Don’t you know? Whether it’s ability, character, or status, Xie Linchuan completely outshines Fu Jinyan. Do you think Dad’s judgment is as… unique as yours?”
Shen Tianxing: Shen Tianhe, where are your manners?!
Shen Tianxing forced an awkward smile and said pitifully:
“Ugh, didn’t I already say it? I was blind before, but now my eyes have suddenly cleared up! I can see right through Fu Jinyan’s intentions!”
“A man who only wants to step on me and our Shen family to climb up—I won’t let him off easily in the future!”
‘Heh’
Shen Tianhe and Shen Tianchen in the passenger seat exchanged a knowing smile.
“The sun really must be rising from the west!” Shen Tianchen muttered under his breath.
“Rising from the west? I don’t think it ever set!” Shen Tianhe retorted confidently.
“Alright, you two, that’s enough. If you keep mocking me, I’ll tell Dad that you two dragged me out to play yesterday! I’ll say I didn’t want to go, but you forced me.”
“You literally pulled me out in my pajamas. Let’s see who Dad believes then!”
The car fell silent instantly.
Shen Tianhe: You little schemer, you win this time!
Shen Tianchen: Women really are terrifying!
After the group returned to the Shen residence, since Shen Tianxing’s parents were at the company at that hour, she headed straight to her bedroom as soon as she got home.
All she wanted right now was to get cozy with her blankets!
All she wanted was to enjoy a good, long sleep!
Who knows what she went through last night!
“I’m heading to the company! Be good at home.” Shen Tianhe shouted at Shen Tianxing’s retreating back.
“I need to go to the studio too! I’ll pick you up tonight!” Shen Tianchen quickly added.
Shen Tianxing didn’t turn around, just gave an “okay” sign.
This was even better. With everyone gone, the house would be quiet, and she could sleep peacefully!
She returned to her room, took a shower, changed into fresh pajamas, and lay down on the bed.Suddenly missing Xie Linchuan intensely, Shen Tianxing unconsciously pulled out her phone and sent him a message.
Shen Tianxing: [What are you doing? Little cutie.jpg]
Huh?
Ignoring me again?
Shen Tianxing’s drowsiness instantly vanished without a trace!
Shen Tianxing: [Xie Linchuan, are you in a meeting? Pouty face.jpg]
Shen Tianxing rolled back and forth restlessly on the bed.
Ten minutes later…
Shen Tianxing: [Your little cutie is unhappy! Angry.jpg]
Thirty minutes later…
Shen Tianxing: [I’m angry, the kind that can’t be coaxed! Hmph hmph hmph.jpg]
Her patience completely evaporated as time dragged on!
Thirty-five minutes later!
Shen Tianxing: [Monster, come out.jpg]
Thirty-six minutes later!
Shen Tianxing: [Monster, reveal your true form.jpg]
Shen Tianxing: [Come out now.jpg]
…..
Forty minutes later!
Gritting her teeth and stomping her foot, Shen Tianxing sent an explosive message.
Shen Tianxing: [Hubby I miss you Heart hands.jpg]
Suddenly.
An instant reply came from the other end.
Xie Linchuan: [Where do you miss me?]
Shen Tianxing: Goddammit, this man is doing it on purpose!!!
Shen Tianxing: [Xie Linchuan, you’re so mean, hmph~~ I hate you.jpg]
Xie Linchuan: [The meeting just ended. Are these 99+ emojis for real?]
Shen Tianxing: [You made me do it by ignoring me! I didn’t even call you, so count yourself lucky!]
Xie Linchuan: [It was an important corporate meeting. My phone was on silent—I wouldn’t have heard it anyway!]
Shen Tianxing: This clueless blockhead!
Shen Tianxing immediately dialed Xie Linchuan’s number!!!
Xie Linchuan picked up the call instantly!
“Xie Linchuan, are you bored?” Shen Tianxing’s tone was far from pleasant!
“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” Xie Linchuan’s voice was deep and calm.
“Should I be happy after how you treated me?”
“Me? Treated you…”
“What? Xie Linchuan, are you playing amnesia with me? You enjoy the benefits and then act clueless? Pull up your pants and pretend nothing happened???” Shen Tianxing was utterly aggrieved.
“……” Xie Linchuan was completely baffled on the other end!
Why was his little wife so angry all of a sudden!
“Xie Linchuan, I think you’re even worse than Fu Jinyan! At least he knows how to sweet-talk me with that slick mouth of his. You, you scoundrel, take advantage and then don’t even bother with a decent word!”
‘Wahhhhh’
Xie Linchuan: Red alert! Red alert!!!
“Why are you crying now?” Xie Linchuan panicked instantly!
‘Wahhhh~~’
“Wife~~ I need to wrap up company matters quickly so I can be with you, don’t I?”
“Aren’t we attending that massively awkward banquet tonight?!” Xie Linchuan whispered gently.
Shen Tianxing: …
“Xie Linchuan!” Shen Tianxing suddenly stopped crying.
“What did you call me?”
“What? Don’t you like it?” Xie Linchuan countered.
“No, it’s not that…”
Shen Tianxing suddenly burst into laughter.
“Quick… say it again!!”
“Wife” Xie Linchuan’s voice suddenly turned alluring.
It deeply captivated Shen Tianxing’s soul!
‘Hehehe~~’
Even through the phone, Xie Linchuan could feel his woman’s joy on the other end!
“Dear wife, I have to go to another meeting now. I’ll try to wrap up all today’s battles within two hours. Want to grab lunch together?”Shen Tianxing: I’m so happy!!!!
“Okay Then where shall we eat? Send me the location~~ See you soon~~”
Shen Tianxing felt like she was surrounded by bubbles of happiness
She rolled around happily on her bed in circles
