Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Future Mother-in-Law

It was hard to imagine that his son would actually show such warm concern for someone, seeming to provide a VIP treatment that even his own parents had never enjoyed.

Mrs. Sheng sent a voice message, "You still say Jinxia should eat more meat because she’s too skinny, how about looking at yourself? Aren’t you also very skinny? Seeing you walk the runway or wear a suit, your legs are as thin as bamboo poles, anyone would suspect that you might faint any second."

As Sheng Yan listened to the voice message, there was still a sentence typed out in the chat box. The sentence was—

I’ll leave the green onions in my bowl to...

He hadn’t yet typed the word "you", when Sheng Yan hesitated for a moment, immediately pressed the delete key, and erased the message.

That was close!

He had almost forgotten that this was a group chat, not a private one!

Sheng Yan felt his forehead might have even broken out in sweat. It was strange, he was openly dating He Jinxia, so why did he feel guilty facing his own mother?

Feeling guilty about dating He Jinxia?

No, no, no, his mother had always wanted to set him up with Jinxia.

As Sheng Yan pondered this question back and forth without finding a solution, Mrs. He also sent a voice message in the group:

"Yeah, both of you are too skinny. Isn’t it said that with advanced technology, the physical requirements for actors aren’t as strict? Why are you still thin like ribs?"

In mothers’ hearts, probably no child is ever too fat!

Thinking this, Sheng Yan had a moment of clarity and finally found the answer.

Yeah, he wasn’t afraid of his own mother, but of... Mrs. He.

No wonder his heart felt so faint; having swept away the girl she treasured, facing his future mother-in-law naturally gave him a feeling of being short of breath and guilty, especially since he hadn’t formally visited her yet.

Rarely, the normally calm and wise Big Boss Sheng felt a wave of anxiety.

"Sheng Yan, Sheng Yan!" The voice of his agent, Zhang Ming, reached his ears, pulling Sheng Yan back to reality. He looked darkly at him.

Zhang Ming was the one asking Sheng Yan to get out of the car as they had arrived at the hotel.

Zhang Ming had not even spoken the words to ask him to leave the car when he was already "killed" by Sheng Yan’s gaze.

Zhang Ming choked up, suddenly stepping back a few steps, shivering, "What are you planning, we had an agreement, I’m not doing anything unsavory!"

Sheng Yan gave him a speechless look, stepped out of the car, and coldly dropped a sentence, "Come to my room later, I have something to discuss with you."

Putting aside what unspeakable matter Sheng Yan and his agent were going to discuss later, on the other side, He Jinxia was handling dinner while video calling Mrs. He.

Seeing her face full of smiles and her enjoying the food, Mrs. He’s anxious heart was slightly relieved, and she asked, "Where are you now?"

He Jinxia, "In Ming City, it’s a historical cultural tourism spot here. Do you want me to bring back some souvenirs?"

Mrs. He shook her head, "I’m too old for souvenirs, it’s something you young people enjoy!"

He Jinxia said beamingly, "Mom, a woman is like a flower at forty!"

Mrs. He corrected, "It’s forty-six already."

He Jinxia continued to smile, "In my heart, you’re always eighteen."

"Hahaha!" Mrs. He laughed out loud, amused by her own daughter.

The two chatted with each other, and time passed swiftly. Most of the time, He Jinxia was listening to Mrs. He, and by the time her boxed meal was finished, Mrs. He had almost finished speaking as well.

Noticing that Jinxia looked well and had a good appetite, Mrs. He went on and on with her advice and was preparing to end the video call. Before hanging up, something seemed to occur to her, and she suddenly asked:

"Jinxia, you are not dating anyone now, are you?"

He Jinxia’s heart quickened slightly, but she maintained a calm facade and replied, "No."

Mrs. He did not suspect anything and advised, "That’s good. You’re still young, so be sure to think carefully before you start dating. Keep your eyes wide open and don’t act impulsively."

He Jinxia smiled, "Yes, I understand."

Mrs. He said, "I’m going to hang up now!"

He Jinxia still smiled, "Okay."

The moment the video call was disconnected, she immediately felt a relief, as if she had survived a narrow escape.

He Jinxia breathed deeply. There was a moment just then when she wanted to come clean to Mrs. He, but as soon as the thought arose, she dismissed it.

Now was not the time.

Indeed, it wasn’t the time.

Not to mention that her relationship with Sheng Yan had not been going on for long, and since Sheng Yan had such a good relationship with her family, it would be more appropriate for him to make the revelation!

Despite her mother not being a stranger, girls are shy, and ultimately Jinxia was... a bit embarrassed.

Yes, this kind of matter should indeed be left for the man to address!

He Jinxia lay on her bed and decided to throw this troublesome issue over to Sheng Yan to deal with.

The next day, the photoshoot for "Fengshang" went on as normal.

The "Fengshang" team consisted of a mix of foreigners and Huaxia people. The editor-in-chief was JOJO.yang, also known as Yang Minfang, who had extensive experience living abroad and had appeared in many major fashion weeks, maintaining good relationships with many major magazine editors.

Yang Minfang, a constant figure in fashion weeks, had become the deputy editor-in-chief of a top-tier magazine in Huaxia after her return. She had over five years of experience, and ever since "Fengshang Huaxia" was established last year, Yang was aggressively recruited and brought over.

Yang Minfang lived up to expectations, establishing the style and target audience of "Fengshang Huaxia" within a year. The content was fresh yet not exaggerated and focused on introducing cutting-edge elements in fashion trends, aiming for a high-end direction.

If it weren’t for the headquarters of "Fengshang" being occupied during "Worker’s Day", it’s unlikely that "Fengshang Huaxia" would have chosen to shoot content like "workwear", which didn’t match its style.

In the headquarters of the magazine, He Jinxia and her team were dressed in workwear for the shoot.

They wore both the traditional, unchanging style of workwear and extremely bold and avant-garde variants, overturning the monotonous styles of workwear and liberating men and women from the confines of shirts and ties.

He Jinxia had already had two experiences shooting with second-tier magazines, but when compared to "Fengshang", it felt like a novice in the presence of an expert.

With the foundation of a top-tier magazine, even a minor division seemed coated in a layer of gold.

Dressed in designer clothes provided by major fashion brands, with her hair done, shoes changed, and makeup applied, she felt ready at any moment to head to a fashion show’s runway and take a spin—even walking the runway seemed no problem at all!

Unfortunately, this pleasant sensation did not last long for the cast members of "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!"

In the photographer’s high-definition camera, the cumulative working time for everyone added up to at most an hour before "Fengshang" declared the shooting complete and ready to wrap up.

The cast’s readiness to walk the runway at any moment plummeted to a low, and when they left "Fengshang", they felt a slight reluctance.
