In Shao Yinan's car.
Wen Yin popped a cherry tomato into her mouth. The juice burst on her tongue, offering that unique sweet-and-sour flavor.
"Mm."
Wen Yin nodded.
"I got into the entertainment industry by chance. Now that I've found what I truly like to do, it's time to give an explanation to my fans who support me."
Shao Yinan had sensed something off since "Let's Fall in Love".
Facing this outcome now, he wasn't overly surprised.
"So when do you plan to do it?"
Wen Yin thought for a while. "I haven't decided yet. Let me finish the new product first."
"After all, there's Shaohua's new product launch next month."
Shao Yinan nodded.
As long as his A Yin liked it, he was fine with anything.
The matter of the Shen family had temporarily come to an end. Shen Ziying never called Wen Yin crazily again.
But Wen Yin still heard some gossips.
The Shen family had declined and no longer resembled the once prestigious and wealthy family.
Shen Ziying had also suffered a great deal of malice.
The Shen family had made their fortune as crude upstarts, and Shen Ziying had bullied many people outside relying on the family's status.
Now that the tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered, others avoided her like the plague and naturally wouldn't care about her fate.
Wen Yin only heard Li Xiangwei mention it once in passing.
After all, Shen Ziying had been jealous of Li Xiangwei before and had targeted her several times, both openly and secretly.
It was just that Li Xiangwei disdained Shen Ziying's childish tricks.
As the design meeting for Shaohua's new wedding dresses drew closer, Wen Yin accelerated the progress of the products she was responsible for.
After pulling Wen Yin out of the late-night design studio for God knows how many times, Shao Yinan pinched her chin.
Wen Yin was forced to raise her head and look at the countless stars in the sky.
"Look, aren't the stars in the sky bright?"
Wen Yin lifted her face innocently and then seemed to think seriously for a few seconds.
"Bright."
Shao Yinan couldn't help but sigh and helplessly ruffled Wen Yin's soft hair. This time, he used more force than before.
"Wen, Yin,"
"Shouldn't your focus be on why you're still at work so late?"
Shao Yinan heaved another heavy sigh. He looked like a puppy cruelly abandoned by its owner.
"So, am I supposed to be alone in the empty room until now?"
Wen Yin's beautiful deer-like eyes silently shifted from the night sky to Shao Yinan's face.
Well...
Shao Yinan at this moment looked exactly like a...
Little resentful wife?
No, it should be a little resentful husband.
Wen Yin skillfully wrapped her arm around Shao Yinan's.
The two had developed an understanding that didn't need words.
Under her gentle and charming offensive, in just a few seconds, Shao Yinan surrendered.
"A Yin, you're cheating."
Shao Yinan turned his face away awkwardly. The only thing visible was his blushing ear tips.
Wen Yin's face was full of a young woman's coquettishness, with a bit of cautious expectation.
It was a side she would never show in front of others.
"I'm almost done. How about I accompany you next time?"
Shao Yinan:......
Wen Yin slowly moved her feet, always on guard against being caught by Shao Yinan the next second.
"Wait for me. I only have a tiny bit of work left."
Shao Yinan watched Wen Yin's fleeing figure with a headache. After taking a long breath, he strode after her.
He had chased after her himself, so he might as well spoil her.
Half a month passed quickly. Wen Yin put away the last piece of fabric and looked at the holy wedding dress in front of her with satisfaction.
Just as Shao Yinan had expected.
When Wen Yin called Wen Zeru later, the Wen family had returned to normal.
That small storm seemed to exist like a dream but had disappeared in an instant.
After this incident, Father Wen saw Wen Zeru's ability to take responsibility and had gradually delegated power of the Wen Corporation to him.
Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. Wen Zeru often passed by Shaohua to visit Wen Yin.
"Brother."
Wen Yin went downstairs as soon as she received Wen Zeru's text message. From afar, she saw Wen Zeru waiting for her.
"Brother, you can send me a message in advance next time."
Wen Zeru knew that Wen Yin was afraid he would wait impatiently, so the smile on his lips widened a bit.
"It's okay. I just brought you some small cakes made by Auntie. They taste good. Try them."
Wen Yin took the delicate small box from his hand.
The paper box was still warm, indicating that they had just come out of the oven.
It was very warm, just like the ones Grandma used to make.
Wen Yin hadn't felt such warmth for a long time.
"A Yin, I'm sorry."
Wen Yin was immersed in the warmth of the small cakes when she suddenly heard Wen Zeru say this out of the blue.
Wen Yin met a pair of somewhat pained eyes.
Wen Zeru slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his expression had returned to normal.
"I failed to come back when you needed me the most. It's my fault."
"I didn't expect Wen Zhi to go so far."
Wen Yin bit her lips. Her usually shiny lips were a bit dry now.
She tightened her grip on the cake box.
Wen Yin gently shook her head.
"No, Brother. You came back just in time."
"Even if I were alone, I would solve everything."
Thinking of the scenes in the video, Wen Zeru couldn't connect Wen Yin with the thin and weak girl who was slapped by Shen Ziying.
"I want to thank you, Brother."
Under Wen Zeru's complicated gaze, Wen Yin slowly showed a smile.
"You're the only one in the family who will firmly stand behind me."
The gentle breeze blew, and the fine black hair in front of Wen Yin's forehead brushed against her cheeks.
Wen Zeru vaguely remembered -
When they were very young, his sister would follow him around and call him "Brother" in a milky voice.
Now it seemed that the little girl with the milky voice had grown up.
After a long time, Wen Zeru smiled.
"I'll come to the new product launch in a few days."
Wen Zeru's smile was gentle. "I want to watch my A Yin shine brightly."
"And become a sought-after designer."
---
At the Wen family.
In the dark and damp room, Wen Zhi was lying in a daze on the bed.
She stared blankly at the ceiling.
It was all over.
Everything was over.
The cancellations of contracts by major brand owners had cost Wen Zhi a lot of money.
Wen Zhi had now become a synonym for a misbehaving artist in the entertainment industry.
Her fans on Weibo had also mostly unfollowed her.
Father Wen had paid a lot of money for her, and his face was extremely ugly.
Not to mention now...
Xiao Mo and the other two were like lapdogs around Wen Yin and didn't even spare an extra glance for her.
The only thing echoing in Wen Zhi's ears was Father Wen's sigh.
"If you can't make it in the entertainment industry, go find a job in your brother's company. Don't embarrass me outside!"
