Shen Anya finally came back to her senses, realizing she had just lost her composure. She took a deep breath and immediately changed her attitude, "Sorry, Aunt Chen, I was just watching a drama and got too immersed in it, I didn't come back to my senses right away."

"Don't misunderstand, what I said just now wasn't aimed at you, those were lines from the show. I really like the dishes you make!"

Although Aunt Chen found it strange, she also let out a sigh of relief, "As long as Young Miss likes them."

"I do." Shen Anya smiled slightly and continued to ask softly, "Aunt Chen, did Mom say why she isn't coming back to eat?"

Aunt Chen shook her head, "No, Madam only said that she, Miss Luoluo, and Young Master Jia Yan have some things to do outside, so they won't be coming back for dinner tonight, they'll be back a bit later."

Shen Anya bit her back molars, a smile still hanging on her face: "Alright, I know, you go on with your work."

The moment Aunt Chen turned around, her expression changed instantly, her gaze cold as she looked at the food on the table.

Suddenly her phone vibrated. Shen Anya picked it up, tapped it, and her eyes curved into an immediate smile—it was a message from her second older brother, Shen Xiche, telling her he was coming back tomorrow!

He even asked what gift she wanted so he could bring it to her tomorrow.

Just as Shen Anya finished replying to the message, the sound of a car came from outside the house—it was Zhao Huizhen and the others returning.

"Why don't you stay for the night?" Upon arriving home, Zhao Huizhen worried that Zhao Yuan was upset and overthinking things, so she wanted her to stay over.

Zhao Yuan smiled and refused, "I won't bother your family. Don't worry, I'm doing great!"

As she spoke, she even waggled her eyebrows at Zhao Huizhen to prove her mood was indeed quite good, then looked at Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan, "Luoluo, Jia Yan, Little Auntie will treat you to a meal another day. Thank you both!"

"No," she suddenly remembered something: "Don't make it another day, let's make it this coming weekend. Little Auntie will take you somewhere good to eat!"

"Then I want the luxury set meal from Southern District Royal Palace Cuisine!" Shen Jiayan didn't hold back at all.

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded, "Alright, you guys can choose whatever you want to eat. How about Luoluo? Is there anything you want?"

Shen Luoluo hadn't decided yet.

"It's fine, no rush. There's still time, think about it slowly, we'll get in touch by phone when the time comes."

The few of them walked inside while talking, and upon seeing Shen Anya in the living room, they simultaneously fell silent for a fraction of a second.

Shen Anya's expression stiffened when she saw them, but she quickly recovered and called out sweetly to Zhao Yuan, "Little Auntie."

Zhao Yuan also reacted, smiling, "Anya is at home too. Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Shen Anya's mood seemed exceptionally good.

So good that even Shen Jiayan found it strange, "Smiling so happily, what good thing happened?"

Of course Shen Anya wouldn't tell him. She smiled mysteriously, "Of course something good happened, you'll know tomorrow."

It wasn't until after school the next day that Shen Luoluo found out what good thing Shen Anya had been talking about.

Shen Xiche was back.

It was no wonder Shen Anya was so happy; after all, in the novel, Shen Xiche was the older brother who doted on Shen Anya the most.

Although he was in the entertainment industry and often ran errands outside, and his days at home were far fewer than Shen Jiayan's and Shen Jingyao's, every time he came home, he would bring Shen Anya a lot of gifts and take her out to play.

Coupled with the fact that he already had a small reputation in the entertainment industry and possessed an impeccable face, he was deeply loved by teenage girls their age. Friends often begged Shen Anya for Shen Xiche's autograph, and Shen Anya also loved this feeling of being surrounded and thought it made her look good. Therefore, every time Shen Xiche came home, she was the happiest person.

Just as she returned home from school, before the car had even come to a complete stop, Shen Anya had already pushed open the car door and rushed out with a bright smile: "Second Brother!"

It was just that right now, it seemed she was the only one in the house who was happy; the others were not very happy at all.

Before Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan even stepped inside, they heard the sound of arguing coming from within.

"Shen Xiche, is this what you call a surprise? What kind of surprise, I think it's more like a fright!"

Shen Ting'an's voice sounded exceptionally angry: "I'll put it bluntly right here today, I don't agree to your marriage!"

Zhao Huizhen's tone was also very anxious, "Xiche, your dad and I aren't saying we don't agree to you two getting married, it's just that you're only how old now and you want to get married? Isn't it a bit too fast?"

"Besides, how long have you even known each other before wanting to get marriage? Understand each other a bit more, and if you truly like each other and have thought it through, it won't be too late to get married then!"

Shen Anya, who had rushed excitedly through the door, froze on the spot, her smile stiffening on her face.

The person who returned wasn't just Shen Xiche alone; there was also a woman wearing a white dress, and the two of them looked intimate sitting together.

The woman saw them enter and smiled slightly in their direction.

Seven people, seven pairs of eyes met.

Shen Ting'an spoke first: "Anya, Jia Yan, you two go back to your rooms first. Your mother and I have something to say to your second brother. Luoluo can stay."

Shen Luoluo:?

Just like that, Shen Luoluo was forced to stay at the scene. As for Shen Jiayan, he was just waiting to watch Shen Xiche make a fool of himself, so of course he couldn't possibly go back to his room; he entered the kitchen for a tactical drink of water while actually leaning against the corner of the wall with his ears perked up to eavesdrop on the conversation in the living room.

In the living room, Shen Luoluo was arranged to sit next to Zhao Huizhen, right across from Shen Xiche. She had to admit, Shen Xiche's face was indeed good-looking, especially those eyes with the slender outer corners slightly upturned, looking exceptionally alluring.

A charm-ghost, that was Shen Luoluo's first thought upon seeing Shen Xiche.

"Xiche, this is your sister Luoluo." Zhao Huizhen introduced her to Shen Xiche.

Only, Shen Xiche didn't care about that right now; he cared more about another matter!

"I know she's my sister, that's not the point! Don't change the subject," Shen Xiche straightened his posture: "The point is the matter between Yingying and me..."
