Chapter 312: A Noble's Assistance

Inside the bright and spacious living room.

Wu Yue'er was wearing a champagne-colored camisole nightgown with a lace-trimmed V-neckline; the hem of the nightgown covered only half of her thighs, leaving a large expanse of fair skin exposed to the air, and every gesture she made exuded infinite charm.

A ten-out-of-ten sex symbol.

Waiting and waiting, yet seeing no sign of Shen Yan coming out, Wu Yue'er, who was sitting on the sofa watching television, was burning with anxiety; every second felt as long as a year.

Having finally waited for him to appear, she hurriedly beckoned him over; Shen Yan stepped forward and sat beside her, burying his head into that slender, fair neck without the slightest reservation.

His nose twitched gently, sniffing that familiar and fragrant scent.

"What are you doing, that tickles."

Faced with this intimate gesture, the corners of Wu Yue'er's mouth could not stop curling upward.

The words that were about to spill out were instantly cast to the back of her mind.

"Baby, you smell so good."

Shen Yan made a sound lazily with his nose; Wu Yue'er giggled and told him if it smelled good, he should smell it more.

The two of them were intimate on the sofa for quite a while.

Whispering sweet nothings.

After a long time, Wu Yue'er finally came back to her senses, held Shen Yan's head, and asked, "Did you have a fight with An Qi?"

"No fight, she dumped me."

???

Wu Yue'er's beautiful eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "What did you say? She dumped you? I find that so hard to believe."

Shen Yan recounted the whole story from beginning to end; Wu Yue'er was speechless for a long time, as she seriously suspected that Hao Anqi's brain had short-circuited—to not know how to cherish such an outstanding man.

What was she being so pretentious about?

Just a little girl who hadn't entered society and didn't understand anything.

She was certain that Hao Anqi would definitely regret it in the future, and that day would not be far off.

However, for her, this was not necessarily a bad thing; this way, who else could be her rival?

The position of Mrs. Shen belonged to her and no one else.

Wu Yue'er did not bring up the matter of taking the top spot; she knew Shen Yan was in a bad mood right now, so she just let Shen Yan snuggle and embrace her, offering silent comfort.

She even grabbed Shen Yan's hand and placed it on her own slender, jade-like legs, which she was most proud of; Shen Yan had a special fondness for this, and perhaps it could bring him some joy.

"Hubby, what is actually wrong with Shanni? I feel like she is very off."

After another while, Wu Yue'er asked the question hidden in her heart.

Shen Yan hesitated slightly: "She... sigh! Don't ask anymore; she doesn't want others to know about this."

Wu Yue'er nodded gently; everyone has a corner in their heart that no one knows about, a habitat for secrets. Since Chen Shanni did not want to be disturbed, she would respect her wishes.

However, Wu Yue'er still felt a little jealous.

This good sister was unwilling to confide even in her, yet she told Shen Yan everything.

Sure enough, any talk of best-friendship or sisterhood was simply not worth mentioning in front of the person one liked.

Yu Youwei was like this, and Chen Shanni was the same.

Including herself, it was the same.

"Ding-dong!"

Shen Yan took out his phone to check; it was a message from Yu Youwei.

"I heard you had a fight with Hao Anqi?"

Shen Yan: "No, Lin Yang doesn't know the situation and is spreading rumors."

Yu Youwei: "(Cold sweat) (Cold sweat)"

Wu Yue'er, who took in this scene, could not help but find it amusing.

She estimated that the little princess was probably scratching her head in frustration right now, thinking to herself: "Ahhh! Why didn't they fight? It made me happy for nothing."

In this situation, Wu Yue'er recalled a lyric: "Later, I finally learned how to love, but it's a pity that you have long since gone, disappearing into the sea of people."

When first hearing the song, one does not understand the meaning; when listening again, one is already the person in the song.

Little princess, this man has long since ceased to belong to you.

The next morning, Shen Yan did not go to the classroom for lessons, but went straight to the office of his counselor, Huang Shuren.

Upon seeing who had arrived, Huang Shuren could not help but roll his eyes.

This kid either never showed up, or if he did, it was to ask for leave; this time would surely be no different.

As the saying goes, if you wear a smile when meeting people, you will receive care when encountering people and events.

Shen Yan first smiled and placed a shopping bag on the desk before speaking: "Teacher Huang, I went to Thailand a few days ago and bought some dried fruit specialties; I specifically brought some for you to taste."

Huang Shuren shook his head with a smile and asked him straight to the point how many days of leave he wanted to take.

"Hehe! Nothing escapes your sharp eyes. Let me state first that I'm not asking for leave to go play; I have to go on a business trip for half a month, so you must approve this leave," Shen Yan said with a serious air.

The fact that Shen Yan was doing business and making big money outside had already spread, and Huang Shuren was naturally aware of it; approving a leave was not a big deal, but a half-month leave was too long and required approval from the college.

Shen Yan knew this well, so he asked Huang Shuren to help put in a good word with the school leaders.

He believed that with his 4.98 GPA, getting a leave slip would be easy.

Huang Shuren did not refuse, but warned Shen Yan that while making money was fine, he must not let his grades slip; the college leaders had high hopes for Shen Yan and regarded him as a rising star in the legal world.

"By the way, Chen Shanni has already spoken to you on the phone, right? She has something to take care of at home and needs to ask for a week of leave; she asked me to bring the leave slip over."

As he spoke, Shen Yan handed over his own leave slip along with Chen Shanni's.

Originally, Chen Shanni intended to ask for a month of leave directly, but the school had regulations that for long leaves, one had to communicate with parents to avoid uncontrollable consequences.

Helpless, she had to settle for asking for a week of leave first.

As for what to do later... she would delay it as long as she could.

Hearing this, Huang Shuren agreed directly without much thought.

With the matter finished, Shen Yan returned directly to the Danqingyuan Residential Complex, then took a taxi with Chen Shanni to the airport.

After a night of rest and recuperation, apart from her left hand still being weak, Chen Shanni had become full of life again; she was even beaming with radiance because she was going on a trip.

It seemed she had already walked out from the shadow of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

This made Shen Yan feel a sense of admiration; if it were him, knowing his life was about to reach its end, he feared he would be far from achieving such detachment.

Entering the station, checking tickets, boarding the plane...

Just as Shen Yan was preparing to turn off his phone, the ringtone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Shen Nainai.

Having been raised single-handedly by Shen Nainai since he was small, and influenced by her over time, plus having some events verify it from the sidelines, Shen Yan was quite a believer in that whole fortune-telling business.

Especially since a Master back in his hometown was almost infallible and widely renowned, so Shen Yan had asked Shen Nainai to go help Chen Shanni get a reading.

And while at it, to ask for a Peace Talisman.

"Hello! Grandma!"

"Is that so? Alright! I understand, I will help you send greetings to Shanni."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan met Chen Shanni's large, puzzled eyes and said with a smile, "Didn't Grandma help you ask for a Peace Talisman before? That Master is quite capable, so I asked Grandma to help you get your fortune told, and guess what."

Chen Shanni felt a warmth in her heart; she didn't care about what the fortune-telling result was, as after all, the entire medical field had declared this illness helpless, and the ending was already set.

What truly made her happy was that Shen Yan had specifically asked Shen Nainai to make that trip; this sentiment was precious, even if it were only friendship.

In order not to disappoint Shen Yan, she feigned an excited expression: "Did the Master calculate a good result?"

Shen Yan said solemnly, "The Master said you are fated to have this tribulation, but fortunately, with the help of a noble person, you will definitely be safe and sound, and after this tribulation, your life will be smooth sailing, with great wealth and prosperity."

"That Master has always been infallible, so you must never give up hope."

Seeing him speak so seriously, Chen Shanni's heart wavered slightly, and she asked, "Then did the Master say where to find this noble person?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "The Master said that all things should follow their natural course, and the noble person will help you turn danger into safety at the appropriate time."
