The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite
Chapter 510 - 283

Chapter 510: Chapter 283

Separated by just a door, Shen Jingxiu furrowed his brows slightly.

He hadn’t expected Wenyan to come looking for him at this time, but upon reflection, it indeed seemed like something she would do.

She was actually a very straightforward and decisive person. If she could solve a problem with a direct approach, she would never beat around the bush.

"Big brother, I know you’re in there, open the door," she said.

She had already spoken up twice, and if he made her ask a third time from outside the door, even Shen Jingxiu couldn’t bear it.

He turned around and twisted the doorknob.

Seeing Shen Jingxiu in that moment, the expression on Wenyan’s face was somewhat displeased.

Shen Jingxiu did open his mouth slightly but eventually didn’t say a word.

Wenyan, seeing his manner, grew even more displeased, "Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit? There’s still some time before we leave, and there are a few things I’d like to talk to you about. May I come in?"

"Yes, please come in." Shen Jingxiu surveyed Wenyan deeply, her unhappiness and grievances were written all over her face, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

He stepped aside, making way for Wenyan.

Only after Wenyan entered the room did he gently close the door.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Jingxiu probably had already guessed the purpose of Wenyan’s visit, but he still pretended to be clueless.

Before today, he had never realized that he could be so indecisive and vacillating.

Wenyan, irritated, said "You don’t know what I want to talk about, right? Then can you tell that I’m angry?"

"Yes, I can see that."

"Then I won’t beat around the bush with you. Big brother, I want to ask you if I’ve done something wrong to offend you or if I’ve said something inadvertently that made you angry."

Shen Jingxiu was silent for a moment, his throat tight, "Do you really think so?"

"What else could it be?" Wenyan stared intently into Shen Jingxiu’s eyes, "Why don’t you reply to my messages? You’re not usually like this. Aside from offending you or making you unhappy, I can’t think of any other reason for you to suddenly ignore and distance yourself from me.

Now we are face to face, you right in front of me, and I’m right in front of you. Let’s talk things through directly, okay? If there’s any misunderstanding between us, fine, let’s find a way to resolve the conflict right now, this instant."

Shen Jingxiu was silent for two seconds before looking at Wenyan and saying, "There are no misunderstandings between us; you’re overthinking it."

"I’m overthinking it?" Wenyan was somewhat speechless, "Then answer me one question. Why didn’t you reply to the messages I sent you on WeChat? Twice, you didn’t reply to me twice."

"I didn’t see them."

"What?! Big brother, can you be a bit more sincere? Did you specifically not see my messages, or are you saying you just didn’t look at your phone? If you checked your phone, how could you not see my messages?"

"I looked at my phone, but I really didn’t see your messages."

"Why? I don’t believe it. You replied to mom’s WeChat message last night, how could you have not seen mine? Even if my message was far down the list at that time, after midnight I sent you a lot of pictures. Logically, my messages should have moved up, how could you possibly not have seen them?"

Beyond seeking an answer, Wenyan was also feeling aggrieved.

"Big brother, what’s really going on? Can’t you just tell me the truth? This doesn’t make sense; why is this happening? Give me a reason. Or is it just that you find me annoying? But I didn’t even bombard you with messages! We were fine during the daytime!"

Yes, they were fine. The one who wasn’t fine was him; it was himself who had harbored thoughts he shouldn’t have.

Now witnessing her standing before him so wronged, Shen Jingxiu nearly regretted it to death.

How could he bear to give her such a cold shoulder? He must have been insane.

But having started it, he had to continue.

He frowned at Wenyan, intentionally putting on a cold demeanor.

"This is nothing; I don’t find you annoying, and you haven’t offended me. I’m just naturally a cold person, perhaps I appeared even colder yesterday due to not feeling well, which led to your misunderstanding. That’s all."

"That’s not right," Wenyan shook her head, "The coldness from feeling unwell and the distance you’ve shown since yesterday are not the same."

"So I say you’re overthinking it, there’s really nothing different."
