Chapter 140: Did You Get Scared?

"Fourth brother." Wen Yan bypassed the sofa and chased after Shen Jingchuan's footsteps.

But Shen Yuan, who was still angry, stopped her. "Yan Yan, don't worry about him, let him go!"

Shen Jingchuan didn't go far.

He heard it.

Yes, as a father, he was good at saying those words.

"Don't worry about him, let him go."

"He won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River, then he'll understand."

But why couldn't he try to understand his own son and the field his son liked?

Is it really that difficult?

However, Wen Yan didn't listen to Shen Yuan's words.

"Dad, Fourth Brother is still angry. I'll go talk to him for a while. I'm afraid he's not safe to drive in this state."

Shen Jingchuan paused again.

Damn, how touched he was!

He hadn't been too upset about feeling so wronged just now, but now that Wen Yan had caught up with him, he burst into tears.

In order not to let Wen Yan see the tears in his eyes, he quickly walked to the door.

The outdoor lights were dim, his car was parked not far away.

Wen Yan quickly caught up to him and held him back.

"Don't walk so fast. You already like driving fast, and now in this state, it's really worrying!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Even if I'm angry, I won't harm myself. You go back, it's freezing outside."

"I'm not going back! You didn't even look at me when you spoke. How can I feel reassured? How about I make a funny face for you!"

"What funny face?! Hurry up and go inside."

"No!" Wen Yan argued with Shen Jingchuan, "Look at me, just look at me!"

Shen Jingchuan couldn't do anything about her, so he turned his head.

But before Wen Yan started making a funny face, he made a pig nose expression.

Wen Yan chuckled at him. "What are you doing? How are you faster than me?"

Shen Jingchuan gently rubbed Wen Yan's face with his hands and finally showed a smiling face.

"Why would such a beautiful person make a funny face? It's better if I make a pig face for you to see. Alright, I'm really fine. Think about it, I had to pull in so many investments with great difficulty. Would I be foolish enough to drive and get myself killed now?"

"You won't," Wen Yan shook her head and laughed along, "It seems like your mindset has improved a lot now."

"Yeah, but I messed up your discharge celebration, and I feel guilty."

"No need! Didn't you give me a gift? I'll open it later and take a look."

"Okay, if you don't like it, you can ask me to exchange it for something else. I'm leaving, you go inside."

With that, Shen Jingchuan opened the car door and got in.

Wen Yan waved at him, watching as he drove away.

Once Shen Jingchuan left, the atmosphere at home instantly dropped to freezing point.

But Shen Yuan still announced that dinner was ready.

However, everyone ate their meal tastelessly.

Shen Yuan even left the table halfway through, and Su Yang also had no mood.

Only Wen Yan, Shen Jingxiu, and Shen Jinghan were left, but they also lost their appetites.

Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghan seemed to be busy, constantly answering phone calls.

Wen Yan simply went back to her room.

It wasn't until now that she had time to open the little black box that Shen Jingchuan gave her.

It was a jade pendant carved into the shape of Buddha.

Looking at the smiling big-bellied Buddha in the palm of her hand, Wen Yan couldn't help but smile too.

No wonder Shen Jingchuan said that giving her this item could ward off disasters.

She had indeed heard that jade could protect against disasters, and there was even a saying that men wear Guanyin while women wear Buddha.

He really put thought into it.

Wen Yan quickly put on the pendant around her neck and sent a "buyer's show" to Shen Jingchuan.

Shen Jingchuan quickly replied.

"Looks good."

Wen Yan also quickly responded to him: "Drive safely, don't reply to me anymore."

-

Wen Yan originally wanted to take a hot bath to relax.

But after the bath, her first feeling was hunger, very hungry.

Just as she finished putting on her clothes and was about to go downstairs to find something to eat, someone knocked on her door.

When she opened the door, it turned out to be Shen Jinghe.

"Second brother? A rare guest. You actually came up to the third floor to find me? May I ask what brings you here?"

Shen Jinghe glared at her. "I can't come find you unless there's something important?"

"Of course not.”

"Are you going down?"

"Yeah, can't you tell? I'm all wrapped up, clearly ready to go downstairs. What have you been up to?"

"Nothing. I removed my makeup and took a bath."

"Did you open the gift? The one Shen Jingchuan gave you."

"Yeah, I did."

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, why? You seem a bit strange, why are you asking these questions in such detail?"

"Can't a wild boar eat something refined? I'm just concerned about you, can't I be?"

Wen Yan: ‘Sharp-tongued male’

"I may not be as thoughtful as Shen Jingchuan when it comes to preparing gifts for you, but if you happen to be hungry, I could treat you to something to eat."

Wen Yan's eyes lit up. "Perfect! I'm actually starving. I was just about to go find something to eat."

"Follow me."

There's a small living room on the third floor.

Shen Jinghan brought Wen Yan over there.

It turned out he had already prepared two self-heating hot pots on the coffee table.

Wen Yan could smell the aroma even before she got close.

"Nice, Second Brother, where did you get these? I didn't know we had this kind of convenience food in the house."

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to sit down on the carpet next to the coffee table.

Shen Jinghan followed closely behind, "As far as I know, we shouldn't have this kind of thing at home. All the food is usually freshly made in the kitchen. I found this in my suitcase."

"..." Wen Yan paused with her chopsticks in hand.

"Your suitcase? When did you get a suitcase? Isn't it from a few years ago? This stuff might have expired by now."

"...then I'll give you one to replace it."

"This isn't about replacing it or not. If it's from the same batch, then it definitely expired together."

"Is that so?" Shen Jinghan looked at the packaging of the mini hot pot with a serious expression. "Oops, this was made last year."

"What?" Wen Yan sighed regretfully. "It definitely can't be eaten. But it's strange, the smell I got was pleasant instead of foul. This means there must be a lot of preservatives inside. We should just throw it away."

Shen Jinghan chuckled. "I'm just fooling you! I bought this a few days ago. What do you take me for? I wouldn't invite you to eat expired food, would I?"

Wen Yan gave Shen Jinghan a stern look. "You're really boring, teasing me like this."

"It's amusing to tease you. Otherwise, how could we continue living in this house with the atmosphere like tonight's? Were you scared just now?"

Wen Yan was silent for a few seconds. "Not scared, but the atmosphere is very oppressive, and it's quite uncomfortable."
