Chapter 496: Chapter 278_2
Wenyan also agreed with Shen Jingchuan’s point of view, "Fourth Brother is right, getting outside more often for activities, even if it’s just to breathe some fresh air, is beneficial for both the body and mind."
"Hmm. You guys have fun, I’m leaving first."
"Bye-bye."
Shen Jingxiu didn’t say anything more, stood up, and strode away.
Shen Jingchuan glanced at his retreating figure, then turned to Wenyan and said, "It looks like the eldest really isn’t feeling well; just now when you waved to him and said goodbye, he didn’t even respond."
"Yes, indeed." Wenyan also watched Shen Jingxiu’s departing figure for a moment, "But given the pace at which Big Brother walks, it doesn’t seem like a big issue. Why don’t you just accompany Big Brother back?"
"I don’t think that’s necessary. Didn’t you also notice he doesn’t seem to have a big problem? Besides, I think the eldest doesn’t need anyone to accompany him. He’s not a three-year-old kid. What am I supposed to do, go back with him when he doesn’t need to take medicine or get an injection? He’s definitely just going to take a shower and go to sleep; do you want me to tuck him in too?"
Wenyan ’tsked’ at Shen Jingchuan, "Why are you making so many excuses? Do you even understand emotional value? You might not need to provide any substantial care, but you can provide emotional support."
"Forget about it!" Shen Jingchuan was unimpressed, "When I have a headache, even a mosquito buzzing by annoys me, let alone someone babbling in my ear. It would drive me crazy, so much for emotional value. Also, why don’t you go?"
"Well, there are differences between men and women after all, and since he’s just come out of the sea, he’s definitely going to shower. If he needs help, surely you are more suitable."
"That actually makes a lot of sense. Should I go over then?"
Wenyan immediately gave Shen Jingchuan a thumbs-up, "That’s what good brothers are for! Fourth Brother, you are awesome."
Shen Jingchuan was speechless, laughing, "Awesome? You treat me like a three-year-old kid, pampering me."
"Why not, you look pretty happy, don’t you?"
"Am I happy, huh? We come out for a trip and on the very first day two have fallen sick; they are stuck in the hotel room now."
"Sigh~ Don’t say that! Big Brother and Yulong didn’t want this either. What’s important about a trip is the atmosphere and mood after all. Once the atmosphere is set, the mood will follow."
"Alright, I’ll go back now and set the mood. But that means I won’t be able to build a sandcastle for you."
"It’s okay, you can just give me a real castle in the future."
"What’s that now?" Shen Jingchuan’s eyes widened, "You really do ask for the moon, don’t you? It’s like you’re trying to devour my inheritance in one bite."
"Hahaha," Wenyan laughed, "Why are you so lacking in confidence, Brother? Don’t you believe you could become a trillionaire in the future?"
"Trillionaire? I like the sound of that. Repeat what you just said."
"What I just said, you want me to repeat it?"
"Yes, repeat it."
"Um..." Wenyan thought for a moment, she’d nearly forgotten what she just said, "Don’t you believe you could become a trillionaire in the future?"
Shen Jingchuan raised a finger and waggled it in front of her, "NO, the sentence before that."
"The sentence before? Uh... ’Why are you so lacking in confidence, Brother?’ Is that the one?"
"Exactly!" Shen Jingchuan reached out and ruffled Wenyan’s hair, grinning, "I’m not lacking confidence; it’s just that I’m not your brother. Consider asking some other brother to fulfill your wish."
"Hahaha, so you’ve been waiting here for me all this time. Got it, got it, just hurry up and leave, I won’t keep you."
Shen Jingchuan didn’t stick around to banter with Wenyan anymore and picked up his bag, leaving the shade of the umbrella.
That’s when Su Yang asked Wenyan, "Yanyan, do you really want a castle?"
Wenyan quickly waved her hand, "Mom, I was just joking with Fourth Brother; we always like to tease each other like that."
Su Yang said seriously, "If you really want one, we can give you one when you get married."
"No, no, no, no, no, I was really just joking." Wenyan had no desire for the Shen family’s wealth and didn’t see any use in owning a castle; a normal house was enough for her to live in.
With her current assets, even if she were given a castle, she couldn’t afford to maintain it, and the thought was somewhat troubling.
Moreover, Su Yang had just brought up the subject of marriage.
To avoid delving deeper into that topic, Wenyan quickly looked around and immediately pointed towards a certain spot in front of them.
"Mom, look, second brother is coming. He went straight to surfing and swimming; you haven’t really had a chance to talk with him properly. I’ll call him over."
Saying so, Wenyan stood up and waved in Shen Jinghe’s direction.
"Second Brother, over here, come over quick!"
