Shen Jun lowered his head and suggested to Wen Nian, “Let me teach you how to ride a horse.”

Wen Nian’s eyes widened with excitement as she nodded eagerly. “Every time I see heroines riding horses in ancient dramas, 1 feel so envious!”

While she had acted in period dramas in her previous life, they had been limited to domestic or palace settings. She had rarely encountered horse-riding scenes and had only watched from the sidelines.

Under the deterrence of Shen Jun’s gaze, Jueying obediently followed Wen Nian’s instructions. Although Jueying had been slightly unwilling at first, Shen Jun’s riding skills were exceptional, and his teaching was adept. Wen Nian mirrored his movements under his watchful guidance and correction.

After two hours of learning, Wen Nian dismounted and practically threw herself into Shen Jun’s arms, radiating childlike excitement. “Can 1 consider myself a rider now?!”

Feeling Wen Nian’s embrace, Shen Jun’s gaze softened as he looked down at her. “You’ve barely scratched the surface! Each horse has its own temperament. Don’t assume that every horse is as good-natured as Jueying. When you encounter unfamiliar horses in the future, don’t assume they’ll be as accommodating as ours. If you just hop on without caution, they might refuse.”

Jue Ying, who was standing at the side, agreed with him and exhaled a breath through his nostrils.

When filming was mentioned, Wen Nian instinctively hugged Shen Jun’s waist, tilting her head back slightly. She looked up, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. “How did you know I’d be filming again in the future?”

The two of them had only mentioned that they wanted to enter a school in the capital, but they had never discussed what major they wanted to study.

Shen Jun responded naturally to Wen Nian’s query. “You clearly enjoy the filmmaking process. Your passion for the industry is evident. Do you not intend to explore this profession?”

Wen Nian’s eyes flickered as she responded thoughtfully, “I hadn’t given it much thought. Originally, I considered pursuing a technical field. I wanted job security for the future.”

Shen Jun’s chuckle was soft, and he lowered his head to rest his forehead against Wen Nian’s. “With me by your side, just pursue what you love. If you don’t end up in filmmaking, you can work as my secretary, and I’ll pay you. Furthermore, all the money I earn in the future will be handed over to you. If you like, you can count money at home every day.”

Wen Nian chuckled. “Isn’t it best to change it to the one with the smallest face value? At the same time, you can experience the feeling of counting money until your hands cramp.”

Shen Jun smiled and kissed the tip of Wen Nian’s nose. “Even if you change it to the one with the highest face value, my earnings will be ample for you to count until your hands cramp.”

“Wen Nian, life is short. Don’t be afraid. You just have to remember that no matter what you choose in the end, I will always be with you.”

Wen Nian’s wavering heart made up its mind. “Okay!”

Three days of vacation passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone resumed their normal routines.

Sunday.

Wen Xing and Zhou Mei were still busy in the shop and did not know that a group of uninvited guests had arrived downstairs.

Wei Shi bowed outside the car window and said with his eyes lowered, “Master, there’s no one in the Wen family now. Do you want me to call Wen Xing?”

Wei Feng checked his watch; it was already nine in the evening. “No need. Let’s wait in the car for now.”

Wei Xiao had returned to Hai City two days earlier and reported all the events in the capital to Wei Feng. Although Wei Feng was taken aback by the revelations, he promptly launched an investigation into the recent developments surrounding the Wen family.

Wei Feng turned to look at Wei Xiao. “Recap all the information you received that day.”

Having heard it all, Wei Feng suspected that the next head of the Shen family resided on the top floor of Xifeng Court. Furthermore, Wen Nian and this person were in a relationship, and there was also a noodle shop that had been established without their knowledge.

Wei Feng felt that many things were going out of his control.

Coincidentally, an employee at the noodle shop had something on at home and needed to take leave. Wen Nian worked on her practice exam paperes at home until five o’clock before going to the noodle shop to help.

After Wen Xing finished his work at the braised food restaurant, he went to the noodle restaurant to pick up his wife and children. The family only returned to the district at 10 pm.

Wei Feng watched as the family of three chatted and laughed as they walked towards the apartment building. Opening the car door, he stepped out. “Wen Xing, Zhou Mei.”

The Wen couple was stunned for a moment. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wei Feng and his granddaughter standing downstairs.

Wen Nian’s pupils constricted, her hand inadvertently clenching into a fist. Fortunately, the night’s dimness, coupled with the subdued lighting in the old district, concealed her unease..
