?Chapter 242: Chapter 189 The one who suffers is you Chapter 242: Chapter 189 The one who suffers is you “Work, work,” Shen Jingchuan furrowed his brows, “Is that all you know, huh?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Wenyan reached out to poke the crease between Shen Jingchuan’s eyebrows.
Shen Jingchuan dodged at first but then realized her intention was harmless and simply let her do as she wished.
“What, am I wrong?”
“Of course, you’re wrong! Actually, both you and I, I think we’re both very lucky. At the very least, we’ve chosen our own jobs, and they’re ones we’re interested in, with decent incomes, not out of necessity. Of course, you haven’t started making a profit yet, but when you do, won’t you be miles ahead of the average person in minutes?
“As for myself, I’m doing what makes me happy. Compared to a lot of ordinary people and actors who can’t make their own choices, I’m fortunate. I choose the scripts I like, and six or seven out of ten things that happen are happy ones. The remaining two, three, or four parts that aren’t as pleasant have my family to fall back on. Work brings me joy, and it’s a part of my life – how beautiful is that!
“Then, besides myself, those worthy of my care are my family and friends. We have a harmonious household, and you’re all in good health, with careers going well. I truly feel content. Why would you think that me wanting the best for you would be a burden to me? It’s really not.”
“Big brother, I’m not some important figure, nor do I have grand ambitions. I’m just like a little butterfly in this glitzy world, perhaps even my small wing flutters can bring some change to the people around me.”
Shen Jingchuan patiently listened to Wenyan until she finished speaking, then he made his comment: “Your little mouth really can talk a lot.”
“Of course,” Wenyan smiled, “Besides eating, what else is the mouth for if not talking? As for future plans, let’s just take it one step at a time; I don’t want to think about it for now. After all, you never know what’s coming first, tomorrow or the unexpected.”
“Right,” Shen Jingchuan raised an eyebrow at Wenyan, “Well, before tomorrow or the unexpected arrives, you first help me with something.”
“What’s that?” Wenyan immediately became wary, “You’re not up to something sinister, are you, getting all serious all of a sudden?”
“Get lost! There should be a paper bag behind you; help me take it out.”
“Huh?” Wenyan immediately sat up in surprise, “A paper bag? What’s inside? You should’ve reminded me earlier; what if it got crushed?”
While talking, Wenyan felt for and pulled out a small black handbag from behind her.
Without looking, she quickly touched it.
“Boxy, seems like a hard box, it’s not damaged.”
“Open it and see.”
Wenyan glanced at Shen Jingchuan: “Don’t you have,”
Before she could say “hands,” Wenyan burst out laughing: “What is it, something for me?”
“Mm-hmm, have a look if you like it.”
“How embarrassing for me!” Although she said this, Wenyan’s hands happily opened the box.
“A diamond bracelet?! Shen Jingchuan! Have you struck it rich? Where did you get the money for such a big diamond?”
Wenyan asked Shen Jingchuan while she held the bracelet up against her wrist.
Noticing that she was having trouble with one hand, Shen Jingchuan reached out and fastened the clasp for her.
“There, it’s on! Now, tell me if it looks good or not, if you like it or not!”
“It’s lovely! I like everything that looks good. But you’ve been tight on funds recently, where did this come from?”
“Traded in a second-hand car for it.”
“What?” Wenyan shook her wrist, “Am I wearing the equivalent of a sports car on my hand?”
“No, you’re exaggerating. Let’s just say it’s a bit of an exchange. I thought it wasn’t quite right to use this thing as payment since what I need most is liquid funds. But it’s new, never been worn, and it seemed very fitting for you, so I brought it back. Wear it with assurance; there’s no dispute over this piece.”
Wenyan nodded, “If you say so, then I won’t be shy about it!”
“There’s no need for courtesy with me. Just don’t keep it in the jewelry box collecting dust. I’m happy seeing you wear something I’ve given you.”
“But I can’t wear such a large diamond every day; it wouldn’t match my everyday clothes.”
“Then just wear it occasionally.”
“Mm. By the way, you didn’t come to see me today just for this bracelet, did you?”
“Of course not.” As he spoke, Shen Jingchuan leaned over to grab two other paper bags from the passenger seat.
“I’ve got more, two big bags full of tasty treats. You’re going to love them.”
“Wow!” Wenyan looked at the two bulging bags in front of her, almost moved to tears, barely able to contain them.
