Shao Yuanjia stepped out of the darkness by the door. Seeing the fleeting wariness in Wen Yin's eyes, he curled his lips.
"Yinan, what a coincidence."
Shao Yinan nodded indifferently, his face expressionless.
Coincidence?
Who would believe that.
Shao Yinan didn't want to bother with Shao Yuanjia's petty schemes.
But he'd better not overreach.
Shao Yinan's dark and deep peach blossom eyes narrowed imperceptibly, and the corner of his lips curled up.
Watching the half - smile gradually appear on his face, Shao Yuanjia wasn't flustered.
"Yinan seems to have a very good relationship with Miss Wen."
Shao Yuanjia propped his hands on the balcony railing and lit a cigarette on his own.
The pungent smell of the cigarette made Wen Yin frown briefly.
Shao Yuanjia caught it out of the corner of his eye.
The curve of his lips became even more sinister.
"Yeah."
Shao Yinan replied lazily.
They didn't need to hide from Shao Yuanjia.
If they did, the fox wouldn't show its tail.
Shao Yuanjia let out a couple of chuckles.
Even though he hadn't said much, Wen Yin couldn't help but feel a tinge of disgust.
"Right. I occasionally saw the hot searches from back home when I was abroad."
"They were all about you and Miss Wen."
Shao Yuanjia's scrutinizing gaze fell on Wen Yin.
He was like a cold and slimy snake.
"Miss Wen was at the height of her popularity in the entertainment industry. Why didn't you continue your career?"
Shao Yuanjia asked knowingly.
Of course he knew why Wen Yin had left the entertainment industry.
He even knew earlier than her stupid younger sister.
Although Shao Yuanjia had been abroad in the past few years, he had quite a few informants in the country.
Moreover, the love story between Wen Yin and Shao Yinan had spread throughout the wealthy circles.
It wasn't strange that Shao Yuanjia knew about it.
Wen Yin's gaze was calm. Her long eyelashes cast shadows under her eyes.
A few seconds later, she slowly raised her beautiful eyes.
"The entertainment industry is too boring."
Admittedly, Wen Yin was extremely beautiful. Her face could hold its own even in the raw pictures of the entertainment industry.
A simple gesture from her exuded both laziness and charm.
Shao Yuanjia's gaze lingered on her face and body.
He seemed to understand...
Why his good younger brother was with her.
Shao Yuanjia nodded. By the time he finished speaking, the cigarette in his hand had burned out.
He didn't stay any longer. After greeting Shao Yinan, he left.
Shao Yinan watched Shao Yuanjia's retreating back, his gaze solemn.
Half of his body was hidden in the darkness, like a wild beast waiting for the right moment to hunt.
He exuded an overwhelming aura of a superior.
"Your second brother doesn't seem easy to get along with."
Wen Yin's simple words summed up all her feelings about Shao Yuanjia.
Even though Shao Yuanjia tried hard to act like a gentle and wealthy young master, he couldn't hide his deep - seated scheming.
Shao Yinan raised his eyebrows and directly mentioned his father's name.
"What kind of decent person would be the result of Shao Qi's love affair?"
Shao Yuanjia and Shao Yinan weren't very far apart in age.
They were only two years apart.
Looking back carefully, Shao Yinan realized.
During that period, Shao Qi's marriage with his mother had already fallen apart.
It wasn't until Shao Yinan was twenty that he discovered that Shao Qi had an illegitimate son who had just come of age.
In a fit of anger, he left the Shao family.
He had been struggling alone in the entertainment industry for many years.
Wen Yin listened attentively as Shao Yinan spoke.
There was a rare look of sadness on Shao Yinan's face, and a faint glimmer of moisture welled up in his inky eyes.
He looked a bit broken.
Wen Yin bit her lip, and her breathing was slightly trembling.
When she was just recognized by the Wen family and suffered countless cold shoulders.
Wen Yin wasn't overly angry.
When she was constantly targeted by Wen Zhi and bullied on campus.
Wen Yin's expression didn't change.
When she was forced to become the white moonlight of Xiao Mo and the others.
Wen Yin's heart didn't stir much.
But after hearing Shao Yinan's words.
Wen Yin really wanted to crack open the head of the author of this morally - bankrupt novel and see what was inside.
So were the supporting characters just there to set off the protagonist's brilliance?
Did they have to be so miserable?
The night wind was cold. Shao Yinan felt the cold seeping into his bones.
He felt as if his blood had been chilled by the wind.
Suddenly, there was a bit of warmth on the back of his hand.
Shao Yinan was a bit dazed. Looking in the direction of the warmth, he saw Wen Yin looking at him seriously.
"Shao Yinan."
"I can't tell you that those things are all in the past."
"But I'm still here with you."
So you can also try to rely on me.
Suddenly, a warm current flowed through his cold heart. Shao Yinan felt his breathing quicken.
"So, I've already been very lucky."
Shao Yinan's peach blossom eyes were like ink that couldn't be dissolved.
"Since the moment I met A Yin, I've been very lucky."
His voice was soft, and every word landed in Wen Yin's heart.
It hit the softest part of her heart.
As their eyes met, the air between them became scorching.
Shao Yinan couldn't help but tuck a stray hair behind her ear that had been blown by the evening wind.
Reflected in his eyes were the lights in the distance.
"The candidate for the general manager of Shaohua has been decided."
"It's Shao Yuanjia."
When Wen Yin heard this name, she wasn't surprised.
Although Shao Yuanjia was an illegitimate son, he was still a son of the Shao family.
From the moment Shao Yuanjia returned to the country, Shao Qi had been preparing to arrange him in the Shao Corporation.
Shaohua was just the beginning.
Wen Yin nodded.
Shao Yinan's words were quite implicit, but Wen Yin understood his meaning.
Shao Yinan raised his eyes. "The exhibition is almost over. Let's go back."
For an occasion like this, Shao Yinan only needed to make an appearance.
If it weren't for Wen Yin wanting to come and take a look, he wouldn't have wanted to come either.
When he walked her to the door with his arm around her, Wen Yin's gaze uncontrollably landed on the necklace in the center of the exhibition again -
Eternal Love.
Eternal... love.
Wen Yin slowly withdrew her gaze. Looking up, she could only see Shao Yinan's sharp jawline and his handsome face.
Yes, eternal love.
It was almost eleven o'clock when they arrived at Wen Yin's place.
Shao Yinan had been working overtime to sort out the information about Shaohua recently. Now the exhaustion on his face was undeniable.
"Good night, A Yin."
Shao Yinan planted a pious kiss on Wen Yin's forehead.
Wen Yin nodded, her eyes falling on the dark circles under Shao Yinan's eyes.
Shao Yinan was just about to turn around and leave when his wrist was grabbed.
"Shao Yinan, stay."
Shao Yinan's gaze turned a bit obscure.
