The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 655 - 373 Shen Jingxiu of the IF Line: Time - The End_3

Chapter 655: Chapter 373 Shen Jingxiu of the IF Line: Time - The End_3

Everyone had prepared gifts for Shen Jingxiu, and the one from Wenyan was a cup she made by hand.

After having cake, Wenyan received a phone call.

Because the house was too lively, she went outside alone.

No sooner had she stepped out than Shen Jingxiu’s gaze and thoughts flew after her, to the point he couldn’t even hear others speaking to him.

Su Yang walked over, sat down beside him, and gently patted the back of his hand.

"Jingxiu, Yanyan has been back for more than a year now, haven’t you confessed your feelings to her yet?"

"Mom?"

"Why are you looking at me with such surprise? Is there anyone in this family who doesn’t know what’s on your mind? Don’t worry, your dad and I absolutely support you."

"Exactly," Shen Jingchuan glanced at his eldest brother, "beating around the bush like that. If you don’t go after her, I might just do it."

Shen Jinghe, sitting to the side, snorted lightly, "If it weren’t for the eldest brother holding out for over two years, I’d have been outshone. She would have been back, and I would have made my strong move!"

Shen Jingchuan mocked him, "What, feeling like your affections aren’t up to par, huh?"

"Yeah, Big Brother," Shen Jingcheng also said, "I feel that this time Wenyan has been different towards you than before, maybe some things have already changed."

Even Qin Yulong sipped his juice and said, "In my view, that cup also carries a special meaning."

"Yes, Jingxiu," Su Yang encouraged, "give it a try. After all, you decided two years ago not to marry or date. The worst outcome would be rejection, and you would just continue not marrying or dating."

Everyone: "..." This is definitely a mother’s love.

Actually, Shen Jingxiu didn’t need anyone to tell him; he could sense some changes in Wenyan himself.

She was giving him more of her time, and he was overjoyed every minute he spent with her.

It was precisely because of this he was even more afraid to speak the words that would reveal his feelings.

The current situation was already so good, he didn’t want to cause any trouble midway.

Seeing him still hesitating, Shen Jinghe was exasperated, "Go find her already. If I had been the one waiting for over two years, I’d have taken the plunge. She sits next to you at meals, saves you the tasty bits, and you’re going to ignore her feelings? Next time we eat, move over; I’m sitting next to her."

"Impossible!" Shen Jingxiu frowned and stood up, "Don’t even think about it. I’ll be right back, and you better not cause any trouble."

Shen Jingxiu quickly went back to his room and then, without any hesitation, ran outside.

When he reached Wenyan, she had just finished her phone call.

"Big Brother? Why did you come out too?" Wenyan put away her phone and, smiling, looked up at Shen Jingxiu.

Her beaming appearance pierced straight into Shen Jingxiu’s heart.

His dark eyes burned with intensity as he gazed at her, the affection in them as thick and indelible as ink.

"Yanyan."

"...Hmm...?" Wenyan’s brows lifted slightly, "You... rarely call me that."

"Yanyan. Yanyan. Yanyan."

"...What are you doing?" Even someone as thick-skinned as Wenyan was starting to feel embarrassed, "Why do you keep calling me that?"

"I don’t want to hear you call me Big Brother anymore, from now on you call me by my name, okay?"

"Huh?" Wenyan seemed to understand what Shen Jingxiu was getting at, she cleared her throat and deliberately asked him, "Is that appropriate, though? Why should I just start calling you by your name?"

She was such a clever girl.

Shen Jingxiu wasn’t stupid either.

The hint was clear enough.

Shen Jingxiu was overjoyed, and his body moved quicker than his mind.

He wrapped Wenyan in his arms, "Marry me Yanyan, let’s get married and stay together for a lifetime."

Wenyan was slightly shocked for a moment, "The progress is moving this fast? I thought you’d first ask me to be your girlfriend?"

Shen Jingxiu was a bit disappointed, but not that much.

"Either is fine. If you don’t want to marry so soon, then we’ll date. Whatever you’re willing to do, I’m up for it."

"Then... would Mom and Dad have any objections?"

"No, they won’t. Don’t believe me, look over there."

Wenyan peeked out from Shen Jingxiu’s embrace and saw that everyone was watching the scene unfold.

But she was very happy, feeling blissful.

She tilted her head up and kissed Shen Jingxiu’s cheek.

Shen Jingxiu was utterly stunned, his face spontaneously flushing.

That made Wenyan laugh, "Are you frozen, blushing like that? Makes me seem thick-faced."

Shen Jingxiu didn’t speak.

His pitch-black eyes seemed to dance with twin flames, hot and bright, the burning light appearing capable of igniting someone’s heart as well.

He looked at Wenyan, the unrestrained desire and deep affection in his eyes completely unhidden.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Wenyan’s lips.

In that instant, it was as if time stood still, everything else around them blurring out of focus, while only their shared warmth and breath were crystal clear—and amplified.

Wenyan was initially taken aback, but then slowly closed her eyes, responding to his ardor.

When they returned inside, they held hands.

There was also now a large diamond ring on the middle finger of Wenyan’s right hand.

Later.

One night after their marriage.

Wenyan lay on Shen Jingxiu’s chest, playing with his earlobe.

"Come to think of it, you never really asked how I actually came back in the end, aren’t you curious?"

Even now, even after Wenyan had become his lawfully wedded wife, he would often feel insecure.

Just like at this moment, when Wenyan brought up the matter, Shen Jingxiu still felt nervous.

He furrowed his brow, grabbed her fingers, and brought them to his lips, nibbling at them gently.

"Don’t talk about it, promise me you’ll never bring this up again, okay?"

"What’s wrong? I’m definitely not going anywhere now."

"I said don’t talk about it."

Shen Jingxiu turned over, lowered his head, and sealed Wenyan’s lips with his own.

Wenyan also decided never to mention it again.

Let those fragments in the tunnel of time dissipate.

Fifty years, or even seventy, it doesn’t matter.

They were going to walk together to the end of their life’s journey.

The end of Shen Jingxiu’s story.
