“There will definitely be an opportunity! Mom, just you wait. Oh! The camera’s on Wanwan now; she’s been nominated for Best Actress.”

“That’s true. Hey, isn’t that your second brother sitting behind her? I thought I saw Jinghe when the camera panned over just now.”

“I wasn’t paying attention, and now I can’t see anymore.” That was because the camera had already cut away to the stage.

However, when the camera once again shifted to the audience, Wenyan did indeed spot Shen Jinghe.

This inevitably triggered some memories in Wenyan about the original plot of the novel.

In the novel, Shen Jinghe’s first meeting with Jiang Wanwan occurred during an awards ceremony.

Back then, one was the Best Actress, and the other was a guest presenting the award for Best Actress.

But this time the person presenting the award to Jiang Wanwan was obviously not Shen Jinghe, and in fact, the opportunity for their first meeting had already shifted to “Jungle Diary”.

After ruminating on a series of plot points, Wenyan suddenly remembered something.

That was, in the novel, Shen Jinghe had fallen in love at first sight with Jiang Wanwan during the awards ceremony.

Afterward, he secretly challenged the novel’s male protagonist for her attention.

As they competed, it eventually involved their financial powers. To take down Shen Jinghe, the male protagonist not only targeted Shen Jinghe himself but also struck a blow against the entire Shen Family.

Wenyan didn’t remember the specific methods used because she was completely uninterested in corporate battles when reading the novel. She would usually skip such plots and only enjoyed the satisfying moments where the female lead and the supporting characters clashed and faced off.

But she distinctly remembered it had something to do with Shen Jingxiu. That was one of the few times Shen Jingxiu, the cannon fodder character, appeared in the original story.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Wenyan racked her brain, she could not recall the related plot from the book.

So much so that when she saw Shen Jinghe going on stage to present the award for the Most Popular Actress of the Year, she watched with a serious frown.

Su Yang, sitting beside her, found Wenyan’s serious demeanor while watching TV somewhat adorable and impulsively captured the moment with a photo.

After taking the picture, she posted it in the group chat and casually tagged Shen Jinghe.

In the photo, Wenyan was intently looking at a close-up of Shen Jinghe announcing an actor’s name on-screen.

Shen Jinghe, who was at the live broadcast event, naturally couldn’t respond at that moment.

But Shen Jingxiu, who was working overtime in the office, did see it.

His phone was part of many groups, but they were usually on mute. Only the few with family members had message notifications active all year round.

As soon as he recognized the familiar sofa in the photo, Shen Jingxiu knew that Wenyan had returned to the villa that evening.

After staring at the picture for a few seconds, he then quickly maneuvered the mouse to close all files on the desktop, turned off the computer, put on his coat, took his car keys, and performed a series of actions all in one go.

Minutes later, Shen Jingxiu arrived back at the Shen Family villa.

Su Yang had just emerged from her study and was extremely surprised to see her eldest son returning.

“Why are you back? What’s going on today? Everyone coming back without giving any notice.”

Scanning the surroundings with feigned ignorance, Shen Jingxiu asked, “Wenyan is back too?”

“Yes, she was watching Jinghe’s live broadcast with me. After his segment ended, she went back to her room to sleep. What brings you back at this hour?”

“I came to pick up some things from my study. I left them at home before my business trip.”

Su Yang nodded and then noticed the paper bag in Shen Jingxiu’s hand. Curious, she asked:

“What’s that you’re holding? Looks like food.”

“Yeah, it’s a late-night snack.”

“Didn’t you have dinner?”

“I did, but I wasn’t very full. Mom, do you want some? It’s roasted pig trotters.”

“Roasted pig trotters??” Su Yang was quite shocked, “Since when did you start liking that? I remember only Yanyan and Jingchuan like these kinds of food at home.”

“It was recommended by my assistant.”

“Too bad Yanyan is already asleep, or she could have joined you. Why don’t you go ask her? I remember during their program’s live broadcast, she mentioned craving roasted pig trotters several times in one sitting.”

“Better not. She’s had a tiring day at work. I won’t disturb her rest.”

If he had known, he wouldn’t have queued for it because it was a last-minute decision to buy them, and he had no choice but to wait in line, which delayed much time.

However, Wenyan wasn’t actually asleep. At that moment, she was lying on her bed, texting Shen Jinghe.
