?Chapter 254: Chapter 193 We Need to Face Each Other Chapter 254: Chapter 193 We Need to Face Each Other “…”
Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan, who were gossiping together, heard Shen Jinghe’s voice as if they had seen a ghost.
The two exclaimed in unison, “Why are you here? Didn’t you leave early in the morning?”
“???” Shen Jinghe was speechless, “Who told you I left early? Are you two dreaming? Or did you have the same dream?”
Once again, the two spoke at the same time: “Zhang Sao said so!”
“Is it possible that she made a mistake?”
“Haha,” Wenyan chuckled awkwardly, “Obviously, that’s what happened. But it’s okay, these dishes are actually enough for the three of us. Come on, you’re the boss here today, big brother, go ahead, please take the seat of honor.”
Shen Jinghe glanced at Wenyan, who was eager to please, and his brow furrowed slightly.
“No need for the seat of honor, but don’t think about changing the subject. You haven’t answered my question just now.”
“Ah?” Wenyan struggled to find an excuse, “What question? Did we say something?”
Shen Jinghe’s frown deepened, “The two of you have secrets now? You won’t escape this.”
As he spoke, he placed his still-in-call phone on the table.
Turns out he had been on the phone the whole time!
And the person on the other end of the phone was none other than Su Yang, eagerly waiting for her daughter.
Wenyan, Shen Jingchuan: “!!!!”
Wenyan lowered her voice, “Did mom hear that??”
“What do you think? You two acted as if no one else was in this house. I was so close to you, it would have been hard not to hear.”
No sooner had Shen Jinghe finished speaking than Su Yang’s anxious voice came through the phone.
“Yanyan, Jingchuan, what on earth is going on? I heard you guys clearly talking about someone who disdains coming to the Shen Family to acknowledge their ancestors. Who are you talking about? Jinghe, did you put the phone on speaker? Turn on the speaker, I want to talk to Yanyan and Jingchuan.”
“Um… Mom, big brother has already turned on the speaker, we can all hear you talking.”
“That’s good!” Su Yang’s voice was clearly more anxious than before, “Now tell me what is going on? Is it about Zhirou? Because other than Zhirou, I can’t think of anyone else who would need to come back to the Shen Family to acknowledge their ancestors.”
Wenyan: “…”
Although she had promised Qin Yulong to keep it a secret from her parents for now, this time she wasn’t really leaking it voluntarily, was she?
To be fair, she was just discovered, right?
However, even a two-second hesitation in this matter was already enough to explain everything.
Su Yang didn’t wait for Wenyan’s answer: “I understand. Yanyan, you and Jingchuan don’t go anywhere, I’m coming back right away, wait for me at home.”
After saying that, Su Yang hung up the phone.
The dining room fell instantly silent, leaving only three people staring at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, Shen Jinghe was the first to break the silence.
He shot a look at Shen Jingchuan, “What are you staring at me for? Unhappy?”
Indeed, worrying their mother before anything became clear… he couldn’t blame himself, could he?
Since he couldn’t blame himself, he had no choice but to blame Shen Jinghe.
“Why couldn’t you finish your call before coming to the dining room? Why had you walked behind others while on the call, eavesdropping on their conversation?”
“…Am I some stranger? Do I have to divide between the dining room and living room when making calls in my own house? It’s your fault for being deaf and not hearing my footsteps.”
“With such thick carpet on the floor and wearing such soft slippers, only a ghost could hear you!!”
“So what? Can you turn back time or what? If not, then shut your mouth and stop squawking. There would be no issue if those words hadn’t come out of your mouth, so first reflect on yourself.”
Wenyan: “… How about the two brothers stop arguing? Fighting hurts the feelings.”
“Hurting feelings?” Hearing these three words, Shen Jinghe immediately stood up from his seat.
He then pulled out a chair next to Wenyan and sat down beside her.
Moving close to Wenyan, his handsome face had a hint of anger on it.
“You have the nerve to talk about hurting feelings with me. If I’m not mistaken, the Ship King’s daughter you mentioned must be Qin Yulong. I don’t know what she has to do with Zhirou, nor why you’re talking about her coming back to acknowledge the family, but the fact that you and the fourth have secrets, am I not worthy to know? Go ahead, since I’ve found out now, it’s not too late to tell me.”
“Hehe…” Wenyan gave an embarrassed smile, “To tell you the truth, big brother, I actually didn’t plan on telling Jingchuan either because I had already promised Qin Yulong to keep it a secret for a while. But who knew that day Jingchuan would catch us.”
