Wife, please behave yourself.

Is Chapter 138 obvious?

Is Chapter 138 obvious?
Saturday.

17:25
Shen Ruzhi had been studying in her room since lunchtime. When she went to the bathroom, she passed by her mother's room.

The bedroom door was open, and she glanced inside as she passed by.

They discovered that Wen Yunwei was sitting in front of her dressing table, putting on makeup.

Seemingly out of curiosity, Shen Ruzhi, who was heading towards the bathroom, stopped halfway and instead turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Arriving at the dressing table, I saw Wen Yunwei applying mascara.

When her mother goes to work on weekdays, she wears makeup, but it's always just simple makeup. This is the first time her daughter has ever seen her mother do such a thorough job, even down to her eyelashes.

Or perhaps she was too focused, so much so that Wen Yunwei didn't notice her daughter entering her room.

Only after both eyelashes were finished did she notice the figure standing beside her out of the corner of her eye.

She turned to the side and looked at her daughter, whose expression was complicated.

Not understanding why Shen Ruzhi would show such an expression, Wen Yun hesitated before asking.

"what happened?"

The words came out of her mouth, and then Wen Yunwei suddenly thought of something.

She hurriedly turned to face the mirror and leaned closer to examine her makeup carefully.

They breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there were no flaws or oversights.

"I thought something had gone wrong..."

"mom."

Her self-talk was interrupted by her daughter beside her, causing Wen Yunwei, who was facing the mirror, to look away again.

Shen Ruzhi pursed her lips, looking at her mother in front of her with a conflicted expression.

She could tell that her mother took this date very seriously, and that after mistakenly believing she had received an invitation from Liu Changcun last night, she had been full of energy all day.

Shen Ruzhi had never hidden anything from her mother before. Even trivial matters in life would be told to her without reservation.

However, she has now become extremely hesitant.

Unable to reveal his and Liu Songyan's plans.

Seeing her mother's puzzled look, Shen Ruzhi hesitated for a long time before tentatively speaking.

Are you... happy now?

"I'm so happy."

"Is it because of watching a movie, or because you can go with Uncle Liu..."

When her gaze fell on her mother's face, Shen Ruzhi didn't even blink. She didn't want to miss any clues, just so she could directly perceive her mother's true feelings.

Wen Yunwei, the mother, was slightly taken aback. She had obviously not expected her daughter to ask such a question.

After thinking for a moment, he replied with a smile, not taking it seriously.

"All of them."

As she answered, Wen Yunwei looked back at the bottles and jars in front of the dressing table, took out a brush, dipped it in the oil, and applied it to her face.

Although Wen Yunwei is not as beautiful as she was when she was young, with the help of today's makeup, she looks no different from a woman in her late twenties.

If judged by outsiders, no one would guess that Wen Yunwei actually has a fourteen-year-old daughter.

After putting the brush back, Wen Yunwei continued replying while tidying up the table.

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised. After all, in my understanding, your Uncle Liu is a rather dull man. It's unbelievable that someone with his personality would think of inviting someone to the movies..."

A smile bloomed on Wen Yunwei's face; she was in a very good mood, thinking that Liu Changcun, who was usually aloof, had actually taken the initiative to invite her out to see a movie.

Wen Yunwei was not only happy, but also very surprised.

Adults are not as timid and hesitant as young people.

Wen Yunwei knew that she admired her former junior classmate very much, and that both of them were currently single.

She had some ideas, but due to her busy work schedule recently, she hadn't been able to find the time to develop them further.

Now that she had received the invitation, she certainly didn't feel embarrassed. So, ever since she got the movie tickets last night, she had been looking forward to the time passing quickly.

I hope to meet Liu Changcun as soon as possible.

When her mother's words reached Shen Ruzhi's ears, she clenched her fists and did not ask any further questions.

She glanced at her mother one last time, forcing herself to give a blessing smile.

"Then you and your uncle have a good time tonight."

"When you go to see Songyan, remember to have a meal. He has treated you to meals many times, so you should treat the brother and sister to a good meal too."

"understood."

"Use the money first, and I'll give you more when I get back tonight if you need more."

"Ah."

Seeing her mother get up and take out her jewelry to put on again, Shen Ruzhi did not stay in the bedroom any longer.

After leaving the room, he also closed the open bedroom door.

It's evening.

18:07
As the security door was knocked on, Wen Yunwei, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly ran to the door to open it.

He greeted them with a smile, looking at the family of three standing at the door.

Liu Changcun brought his two children to visit.

After arriving home last night, Liu Songyan thoughtfully prepared an excuse for his and his sister's plans so as not to make them third wheels.

However, they didn't expect to expose Liu Wanqiu, the third wheel, while they couldn't get rid of An Zhaoran.

So much so that when they arrived at Wen Yunwei's home, Liu Changcun and his daughter Liu Wanqiu were both very happy.

Only Liu Songyan remained expressionless as usual.

Shen Ruzhi also came out of the room, preparing to go to the door to change her shoes and go out.

Wen Yunwei chatted with the junior who came to visit for a few minutes.

When Liu Changcun, who was standing at the door, saw Wen Yunwei with full makeup today, he noticed the difference from her usual light makeup.

He feigned surprise and spoke.

"You've become even more beautiful in just a few days. When I first saw you, I was so surprised that I didn't dare to greet you."

"Say something like that..."

Hearing this, Wen Yunwei seemed quite embarrassed, but the smile on her face did not disappear. After a short pause, she smiled and asked back.

Do I look good today?

"Of course she's beautiful! She's prettier than any of the female celebrities on TV!"

"Hehe~"

No one dislikes being praised, let alone by a junior they already admire.

Wen Yunwei was in a great mood and moved closer to her junior, extending her hand with a smile to gesture for him to come closer.

Then, in front of the children, he stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth with his hand.

They were whispering something to each other.

A man and a woman, both around the same age, were laughing happily.

This piqued Liu Wanqiu's curiosity, and she leaned closer to listen to what the elders were talking about. However, before she could get closer, Liu Songyan pulled her back. After chatting for a while, Liu Changcun and Wen Yunwei, who were standing at the door, gave some instructions to the other three people in the family.

After telling them to be careful and not to go too far, he left home first.

As the security door closed, the three people left at the doorway looked at each other in bewilderment.

No one spoke first, but Liu Wanqiu, still looking bewildered, was the first to ask.

Where are we going later?

"do not know."

Once the adults in the family left, Liu Songyan completely stopped pretending.

On the way here, I told my sister that tonight's schedule would be very full, but when we arrived at our destination, I changed the subject and said I didn't know.

Liu Wanqiu, who had been grinning foolishly with her big teeth showing, immediately stopped laughing.

He tilted his head and thought about it for a moment, puzzled.

Only then did he react.

"You lied to me again! You big liar!"

Seeing that the other girl was about to play around with her brother Liu Songyan again, Shen Ruzhi, who noticed this scene, hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

It took a while of calming her down before the furious Liu Wanqiu finally quieted down.

Shen Ruzhi looked at Liu Songyan, who seemed preoccupied, and wanted to ask him about his upcoming plans. However, when she saw his current appearance, she immediately asked with some concern.

"Did something happen? You don't seem very happy."

"Nothing much. By the way... do you have any recommendations? They went out to see a movie, and we're getting a bit bored here."

Without intending to answer the other party, Liu Songyan uttered the following sentence.

Looking at Shen Ruzhi in front of him, he noticed the dark circles under her eyes caused by staying up late to study.

He immediately frowned and asked, puzzled.

"I didn't notice just now, but you've got dark circles under your eyes from staying up so late?"

"..."

As soon as Liu Songyan spoke, Shen Ruzhi immediately raised her hand to touch her face in surprise.

"Is it obvious?"

"It's almost as big as a panda's dark circles."

As Liu Songyan exaggeratedly described it, he thought of the scene of Shen Ruzhi studying hard recently.

Whether it was out of concern or just politeness, I don't know.

"You still need to get some rest, otherwise if you, the vice class monitor, fall ill, how am I supposed to manage the class?"

Liu Songyan is now the class monitor, and Shen Ruzhi is the deputy class monitor.

With their combined efforts, everything in Class 2 of Grade 9 is moving in a positive direction.

Looking at Shen Ruzhi, who remained silent, Liu Songyan spoke softly.

"If you don't feel well, you can take a nap first, and then go out after you've rested."

"..."

Liu Songyan's words left Shen Ruzhi stunned.

Since yesterday, Liu Songyan's attitude towards her has not been as cold as before, although the concern he expresses now is still icy and devoid of any human warmth.

However, the girl, who knew the other person's personality well, had already noticed the change in him.

Looking at Liu Songyan, who had grown taller than him after a summer vacation.

I noticed the way the other person was looking at me.

Shen Ruzhi felt happy, which was quite disappointing.

Even the smallest act of kindness can make her happy for a long time.

downstairs.

Liu Changcun and Wen Yunwei chatted casually along the way.

Because cars can't drive in from the alley entrance, we have to park our cars further away.

The two walked at a pace that was neither too fast nor too slow.

Liu Changcun asked Wen Yunwei about her recent situation and learned from her that Lin Wanran had resigned.

Liu Changcun paid little attention to his ex-wife, quickly moving on from the topic and asking about Wen Yunwei's salary.

After not seeing her for a while, Wen Yunwei's current situation is far better than Liu Changcun remembered.

Her approachable personality has helped her gain a foothold in the company.

Furthermore, because the jewelry designs he created all sold well, the dividends he received were substantial.

A few months ago, Wen Yunwei was still worried about making a living.

A few months later, she had achieved a comfortable standard of living.

Listening to Wen Yunwei say that she wants to make money this year and then consider buying a new house after the New Year next year.

Looking at the future the woman beside him was dreaming of, Liu Changcun was genuinely happy for her.

"Be sure to tell me when you move to your new house, and I'll come over to congratulate you on your new home."

"I won't forget you."

Smiling happily, Wen Yunwei sighed at the changes that had taken place.

When they talked about their first meeting on the bus, they realized that if it weren't for that encounter, they might not have developed such a deep friendship.

Hearing Wen Yunwei mention their first encounter, Liu Changcun's mind was filled with the scene of that meeting.

He remembered that when he left the TV station and got on the bus, he saw Wen Yunwei sneaking up on the bus.

We met again after many years because we were former seniors and juniors.

They were so busy catching up that they hadn't asked about this matter before, but now that he thought about it, Liu Changcun asked out of curiosity.

"You seemed to be hiding from someone."

"I just saw someone I didn't want to see, that's why I acted that way."

"Someone you don't want to see?"

Liu Changcun continued walking without stopping, and was not far from where he had parked.

Hearing Wen Yunwei's answer, he became curious and asked further questions.

"You really owe them money?"

"That's not true..."

Wen Yunwei didn't hide anything, but just smiled bitterly as she spoke.
