Chapter 248 - 248 192 Its Hard to Date
?Chapter 248: Chapter 192: It’s Hard to Date Chapter 248: Chapter 192: It’s Hard to Date As soon as she entered, Wenyan almost thought she had gone to the wrong place.
The living room was very dark.
But miraculously, every step she took left a luminous, colorful footprint behind.
Clearly, the carpet had been carefully replaced.
With each step, it seemed as though countless sparkling diamonds were shimmering beneath her feet.
At this moment, Wenyan felt as if she were walking amidst the stars.
And each step forward made the living room a bit brighter than before.
In the dim light, Wenyan realized that the entire living room had been rearranged.
At the moment, she couldn’t see anyone but herself around.
“Mom? Dad? Big brother? Second brother, fourth brother? Are you all hiding? I already know this is the birthday surprise you’ve prepared for me. Please turn on the lights!”
No sooner had Wenyan’s words fallen than an orderly “Happy Birthday” resounded throughout the living room, and the lights overhead brightened instantly.
Only then did Wenyan see that the entire living room had been decorated in a gentle, dreamy pink and purple hue, which was her recent favorite color.
“It’s so beautiful! So dreamy!!!”
Seeing her family in front of her, Wenyan was moved yet again.
Today was her birthday, and she had already been moved twice.
“Thank you, everyone! I feel like I’ve entered a castle. And the lights beneath my feet, how did you do that?”
As Wenyan spoke, she happily pounced toward Su Yang: “Mom, you all are so kind, I really love this surprise.”
Su Yang smiled and embraced Wenyan: “As long as you like it, it means all our decoration wasn’t in vain. But I’m not quite sure about the principle behind these lights under your feet. If you’re truly interested, ask your big brother later. He’s the one who arranged for people to do this.”
“Wuwuwu, thank you, Big Brother!”
Wenyan was indeed overjoyed today and walked over to give Shen Jingxiu a big hug.
Shen Jingxiu hadn’t expected Wenyan to suddenly embrace him, and his hands hovered uncertainly for a moment.
After a second of hesitation, he spoke: “Happy Birthday.”
“Very happy! Thank you, Big Brother!”
But just as he was about to return the embrace, Shen Jingchuan, standing next to him, suddenly spoke up.
“Hey, see those flowers? I personally carried them off the car. Back and forth, almost wore out a pair of shoes.”
“Really? You must be extremely capable then, were those shoes made of paper?” Wenyan teased Shen Jingchuan as she threw herself into his arms.
Without any hesitation, Shen Jingchuan opened his arms wide and caught Wenyan in a full embrace.
He patted her back comfortably: “I saw your movie. Even though it’s not a genre I like, you acted very well. You just looked too pitiful. Promise me, don’t take such roles anymore, okay? It’s too heartbreaking to watch!”
Wenyan snorted: “The point is to make you audience members feel pity! That’s the skill of an actor.”
“Alright, alright, you’re the best. You’ve outperformed him by a hundred and eighty streets.”
Shen Jinghe standing nearby: “…Did I offend someone? Wenyan, come here, to my side.”
“No way!” Shen Jingchuan refused to let her go, “Why go there? You’re not any sweeter.”
Wenyan, unamused: “…You’re so childish, Fourth Brother. But today, I should spread my love evenly. It’s not easy to get a hug from Second Brother on a regular day! There’s a queue reaching outer space!”
After saying this, Wenyan ran from Shen Jingchuan’s side and gave Shen Jinghe a hug, making faces at Shen Jingchuan on purpose.
“Mmm~ Second Brother smells so good, you really are a sweet treat.”
“Tch! You’re just saying that to taunt me. How sweet can he be? Hurry up and wash your hands, it’s time to get ready for dinner.”
“No rush!” Wenyan quickly pulled out her phone, “I haven’t taken any photos yet, let me take a picture first.”
“Why bother, Mom had already arranged for a photographer. What do you think Auntie Zhang is holding?”
“It doesn’t matter, what Auntie Zhang captures is hers, what I capture is mine.”
However, Wenyan didn’t delay too long, and after a few quick snaps, she immediately went upstairs.
“You guys go sit down. I’m going to change into a beautiful dress.”
Saying that she was going to change clothes, Wenyan actually had other plans.
When she came down, she brought two bags with her, but she made sure her family didn’t see them and hid them somewhere outside the dining room.
Barely settled at the table, Su Yang explained to Wenyan: “I already asked your third brother two days in advance, hoping that he would come home today for your birthday. But he’s currently out of the province and can’t get away. If he were here, our family would be complete today.”
