The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 179 - 179 162 Do you like him

?Chapter 179: Chapter 162: Do you like him? Chapter 179: Chapter 162: Do you like him? This time, they caught over 20 fish of various sizes.

Shen Jingchuan’s throat was parched when he said, “Finally, a decent meal is coming.”

Wenyan shot him a look immediately, “Didn’t you say you’ve been doing pretty well these past few days? You also mentioned losing weight because of your ‘small face.’

“Heh,” Before Shen Jingchuan could respond, Shen Jinghe let out a snort and activated his sarcasm mode.

“Guess why we had to migrate? Could it be because we were too stuffed from eating too much?”

“……” Shen Jingchuan rolled his eyes, “Nobody would think you’re mute if you didn’t speak.”

Wenyan: “…… You two haven’t been constantly bickering like this for the past 20 days, have you?”

Well, that was progress.

After all, when they were at home, the two would become mute upon seeing each other, barely speaking a word.

Bullet Screen: ‘Haha, Yanyan, you’ve misunderstood. In the first ten days, they were performing a silent film. If Alex’s house hadn’t burned down, they wouldn’t have come together at all.’

‘I bet Wenyan won’t have the chance to find out. Alex is too proud to say anything, we’ll have to wait until after the show ends to see what the production team edits.’

‘Hahaha, look at Jiang Wanwan, she’s looking at Alex and Shen Jinghe, and her expression is basically doing an ‘I’m speechless.’ It’s like she’s about to write the words ‘no words’ on her face.’

Jiang Wanwan didn’t feel speechless, but she did sense that there was something complicated about the relationship between the two men.

Or rather, the relationship among Wenyan, the two of them, wasn’t simple either.

However, Shen Jinghe didn’t continue to bicker with Shen Jingchuan.

They still had work to do, hauling the spoils back to camp.

As they cleared the fish, frozen stiff, from the net, Shen Jinghe couldn’t help but praise them.

“I must say, you two are really impressive. Being able to lay nets under the ice, that’s truly admirable…”

He stopped mid-sentence, realizing something odd.

It struck him as strange.

He hadn’t even asked yet, but he had already concluded in his mind.

He believed that Wenyan absolutely couldn’t possess this skill; it must have been Jiang Wanwan who came up with the idea.

Without confirming the facts, his heart already began to admire Jiang Wanwan, and praise had escaped his lips before his brain could catch up.

Upon realizing this, Shen Jinghe immediately forced himself to swallow the rest of his words.

Shen Jingchuan didn’t care what Shen Jinghe said; he wasn’t concerned whether the words were half-spoken or fully uttered.

But Wenyan took an extra glance at Shen Jinghe.

Jiang Wanwan also caught this moment in her sights.

On the way back to camp, Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan led the way.

Jiang Wanwan seized the moment to turn off her microphone.

She whispered to Wenyan, “Do you like Shen Jinghe?”

“Huh?” After Wenyan came to her senses, she immediately shut off her microphone as well.

“Why would you ask that?”

Jiang Wanwan slightly raised an eyebrow, “Because I’ve noticed that since his arrival, your gaze often rests on him. Isn’t that the sign of affection?”

Wenyan: “……” This was tricky to answer. Didn’t Jiang Wanwan realize that after looking at Shen Jinghe, she would also steal a glance at her?

However, if that’s really what she thought…

Wenyan suddenly asked Jiang Wanwan, “We’re good friends now, right?”

Jiang Wanwan thought carefully for a moment, “Although I don’t have any experience with making good friends, I think we can be considered good friends already. What do you think?”

Wenyan nodded, “I think so too.”

Taking advantage of the fact that the camera crew was shooting a long shot and not giving her a close-up, Wenyan felt she should take the opportunity to speak with Jiang Wanwan first.

“I do think Shen Jinghe is a good person, but I feel that I’m probably not his type.”

“Oh? You may be nonchalant, but you’re not a person who lacks confidence. What makes you think he wouldn’t like you? How did you come up with that idea?”

“Um… how should I put it? My thoughts on this actually don’t matter anymore. What’s important is that I think you are the type he might like, being smart…”

“Then rest assured,” Jiang Wanwan cut her off before Wenyan could finish speaking, “I’m not interested in him; he didn’t give me that stunning impression at first sight.”

Wenyan: “……” Poor Shen Jinghe! Jiang Wanwan’s tone is way too firm.

After a pause of 0.1 seconds, Wenyan continued, “That’s good. But I have a small favor to ask, a bit of a moral blackmail if you will.”

“Go ahead.”

“It’s that… you might be unaware of your own charm. Even if you don’t like someone, you might not be able to stop others from falling madly in love with you. So, I hope that no matter what happens in the future, no matter what sort of encounters you two may have, promise me you won’t give him any hope, not even the slightest bit.”

Jiang Wanwan raised an eyebrow, “I feel like you’re complimenting me in a roundabout way. But for that alone, I’ll agree. Don’t worry, I’ll never give any hope to anyone I don’t like, especially someone you’ve taken a fancy to.”

“Then let’s pinky promise.”

“? Isn’t that a bit too childish.”

“Not at all.”

“Alright then.” Jiang Wanwan smiled and reached out a finger towards Wenyan, “Pinky promise, hang yourself up high, no betrayal for a hundred years.”

“Boohoo, thank you, Wanwan, you’re the best. I know when you promise something, you’ll stick to it. Come here, give me a hug! I love you to death!”

Not only had Wenyan come to this conclusion while reading the original novel, but also through the truly tangible interactions over the past twenty or so days.

As long as Jiang Wanwan promised not to give Shen Jinghe any hope, the future Shen Jinghe wouldn’t become cannon fodder as the male lead of this book because of Jiang Wanwan’s casual flirting.

[Ah Shen Jinghe, Shen Jinghe, you definitely have no idea that I’ve saved your life]

Shen Jinghe: “……” What is this guy talking about? What does he mean by saying he saved his life?

And how did she end up hugging Jiang Wanwan?

Shen Jinghe shifted his gaze towards Jiang Wanwan.

But this time, he suddenly found that he was not so attached to Jiang Wanwan’s figure anymore.

Not only that, but the sensation of being strangled by invisible hands at the throat of fate seemed to have vanished as well.

He suddenly felt that Jiang Wanwan wasn’t inexplicably attractive to him anymore.

This made him feel completely relaxed, and even looking at Shen Jingchuan on the side was much more pleasing to the eye.

He even took the initiative to ask Shen Jingchuan, “Is the fish heavy? Do you need help carrying some of it?”

Shen Jingchuan frowned deeply and gave him a look, “Are you sick? Did you take the wrong medicine? Wenyan! Wait for me.”

Shen Jingchuan stretched his legs and swiftly slid forward, seeing Shen Jinghe as a flood and a wild beast.

Shen Jinghe still walked at a leisurely pace behind.

Now, looking at the backs of Shen Jingchuan, Wenyan, and Jiang Wanwan, he felt very relaxed.

“Wait for me!” He soon caught up with them.
