Chapter 234: Brother, Don't!

On a deep winter night, the cold current raged; the large trees on both sides of the road were bare, with only a few sparse crescent moons swaying gently on the branches.

Leaving the bustling night market, the noisy sounds in her ears seemed to have been pressed on a pause button, stopping abruptly; after truly understanding the ins and outs of the whole matter, Yu Youwei stood dazed for a long while.

She had always prided herself on being clever and quick-witted, not falling behind others in her studies, yet she never imagined that when it came to human nature, she was as ignorant and naive as a child.

It was one thing that Shen Yan was gifted and progressed rapidly in every aspect, but Wu Yue'er and Chen Shanni were clearly the same age as her, yet they saw the situation with such clarity.

This dealt a heavy blow to Yu Youwei.

She fell into a state of self-seclusion.

After finishing her own insights, Wu Yue'er looked at Shen Yan as if a child seeking praise, asking with a smile: "How is it, how is it, was my analysis correct?"

Looking at that charming and moving face, Shen Yan habitually wanted to kiss her, but since the occasion was not right, he had to hold back.

He praised her, saying: "You really are a little clever ghost; nothing can be hidden from you."

"That's right!" Wu Yue'er's eyes were filled with pride.

However, what she admired even more was that series of operations by Shen Yan; his improvisation could be called perfect.

Hehe! Why is her own man so outstanding?

The more she looked, the more she liked him!

By comparison, that Shen Jiaqing was not just a little bit worse; even an honest person would feel inferior seeing him—he was a total fool.

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Wu Yue'er, with lightning speed, kissed Shen Yan on the face.

Eek!

Shen Yan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly scanned the surroundings with a guilty conscience; one was in self-seclusion, and the other was looking down in deep thought.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness! No one noticed.

His face stiffened, and he raised his right hand, making a gesture as if to hit her, but who knew that Wu Yue'er was completely unafraid and was still sticking out her tongue cutely.

As if saying: "Come on, come on!"

Truly daring!

After hearing Wu Yue'er's account, not only Yu Youwei, but even Chen Shanni showed an expression of sudden realization; it turned out there were so many details she hadn't noticed.

Shen Yan was truly gifted with intelligence, not at all like an eighteen-year-old boy.

At the same time, Chen Shanni also greatly admired Wu Yue'er's observation and analytical skills; she had just been looking down in thought and hadn't noticed the two's little movements.

After coming back to her senses, she pulled Wu Yue'er over to discuss it with great interest, learning the little tricks involved.

Still in her state of self-seclusion, Yu Youwei picked up the little turtle she had won and looked at it, feeling inexplicably that it was quite like her, so she asked Shen Yan: "Brother, don't you think this turtle is quite cute?"

"It's clearly silly, how is it cute?"

Shen Yan didn't get the cuteness of this silly turtle at all.

Yu Youwei felt that Shen Yan was implying something about her, so she pouted in dissatisfaction and complained that Shen Yan had no compassion; Shen Yan immediately became unhappy and retorted: "How do I have no compassion? I especially like small animals, such as fried chicken, roast duck, and crawfish."

"Giggle!"

The sudden flirtation caught her off guard, and Wu Yue'er couldn't help but let out a crisp, pleasant laugh.

She laughed and scolded: "Is this what you call liking small animals? If they knew they were liked by you like this, their ancestors for eighteen generations would probably crawl out to curse you."

Chen Shanni also covered her red lips with her hand, looking unable to hold back her laughter.

And Yu Youwei, who was in self-seclusion, instantly shook off all negative emotions, pounding Shen Yan's chest while laughing like a goose.

She even said: "Why don't you just die from being so cheeky!"

Ten minutes later, all the items, big and small, on the flatbed cart were loaded into the car trunk; returning to the room, Shen Yan first dialed Shen Jiaqing's phone.

Regarding his cousin who was a student, with a single piece of clothing costing nearly two thousand, Shen Jiaqing had always been anxious, worrying that Shen Yan had gone astray.

Upon learning that Shen Yan had opened a shop on Taobao and was quite profitable, Shen Jiaqing finally set his mind at ease.

Then the topic shifted back to Shen Jiaqing; Shen Yan said that He Wenhui was not a good match, and that to evaluate a person, one shouldn't just look at what she says, but what she does.

Blah blah blah, a whole lot, his tongue was so smooth.

Shen Jiaqing was lectured until he had no temper left, exclaiming that Shen Yan had really made something of himself now, with a pile of principles, even starting to lecture his older cousin.

"Who told you to be so dim-witted? Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with you," Shen Yan said bluntly.

"I call this 'great wisdom looks like stupidity', okay?"

"Hehe!"

In the gap between the brothers' phone call, Shen Yan heard the door being knocked.

Opening it, he saw it was Wu Yue'er.

She was wearing a black tassel sweater, the hem of which covered her shorts just right, underneath were tight leggings, and on her feet was a pair of brown knee-high boots, perfectly highlighting the advantage of her height and long legs.

He didn't pay much attention and continued to lean against the head of the bed to make the call.

Wu Yue'er was a bit unhappy about being ignored; without even taking off her knee-high boots, she leaned over the edge of the bed and naturally lay into Shen Yan's arms.

Her nose twitched slightly.

The faint scent of lavender was intoxicating.

Shen Yan lowered his head and left a kiss on her forehead; receiving a response, Wu Yue'er immediately showed a sweet smile.

And returned the favor twofold on Shen Yan's face.

When her little hand touched that protruding Adam's apple, Wu Yue'er's eyes rolled around, and then she mischievously kissed it.

Damn!

The sudden stimulation scared Shen Yan so much that his phone almost flew out; there was no doubt this girl was definitely doing it on purpose.

Every time Shen Yan made a phone call, Wu Yue'er would make trouble from the side, and her reasons were always very sufficient.

"Last time when I was on the phone with Shanni in the car, you did the same thing; why is it only allowed for the official to set fires, but not for the commoners to light lamps?"

Shen Yan was speechless; what goes around comes around.

Regarding such intimate harassment, Shen Yan was not only not repulsed, but rather enjoyed it; his right hand took the phone, while his left hand reached in from under the hem of that tassel sweater.

Outside, the cold air encroached, while inside it was warm.

Shen Jiaqing's voice continued to come through the phone: "You talk a good game, but do you even have a girlfriend? Don't just be an armchair theorist, spouting nonsense."

Shen Yan: "Stop joking, I'm holding a girl in my arms right now."

Shen Jiaqing: "Why do I find that so hard to believe? Let her make a sound so I can hear."

Shen Yan couldn't help but feel playful; he cleared his throat, then called out in a voice so soft and cloying it could kill: "Brother, don't!"

Wu Yue'er's peach-blossom eyes widened larger than eggs; that was their cousin Shen Jiaqing on the other end, was it really okay to play like this?

But I like it!

If she were the one to do it, it would be perfect—absolutely thrilling and explosive enough!
