Chapter 62 -61: The Romantic Heart
“Miss Second, it’s all done; please take a look and see if you’re satisfied. If you think the effect isn’t good, we can change it again. Unexpectedly, there wasn’t an identical carpet in the storeroom.”
“No need to change it; this color is also nice. I’m very satisfied.”
The carpet in Wenyan’s room was quickly replaced with a new one.
After the replacement, she and Mrs. Zhang left the room together.
This time, she learned her lesson; even if it was just to go downstairs, she remembered to lock her door.
Hearing her and Mrs. Zhang laughing and chatting, Shen Zhirou couldn’t help but prick up her ears from the next room.
Shen Zhirou was very disdainful of this.
This damn Wenyan, actually going to the trouble of pleasing a nanny in their home—such a thing she would never lower herself to do.
Which daughters of noble families would take the initiative to lower their status and joke with a nanny? Disgusting!!
Yet Su Yang seemed to really like her personality.
This Wenyan, truly becoming more and more of a nuisance.
–
Wenyan came downstairs to prepare a little surprise for Su Yang.
She wasn’t skilled at cooking, but cutting some fruits and arranging a fruit platter was within her capabilities.
Consequently, Su Yang and Shen Yuan saw Wenyan coming out of the kitchen, holding an exquisite fruit platter, as soon as they returned.
“Dad, Mom, Surprise!!”
Wenyan’s smile was bright, darting up to Su Yang like a little sun.
“Teehee, I didn’t expect that Dad and Mom would come back together today. Let me guess, it must have been Mr. Shen picking up Mrs. Su from work after he finished, right?”
“Wrong,” Su Yang said, sizing Wenyan up and down while holding her hand. “Today, it was me who went to pick up your dad from his company because I just happened to be out discussing a collaboration. After it was over, I went straight to his company.
“Aiya, Mom’s precious daughter has lost weight. Didn’t you eat well in those deep mountains and dense forests? I invested in the director to make sure he took good care of you, but you’ve lost weight.”
“And you, you little rascal, didn’t you tell me over the phone last night that you still had some matters to settle and wouldn’t come back for a while? Why did you suddenly return?”
Wenyan giggled and, while leading Su Yang to the sofa to sit, explained,

“Because I wanted to give you a surprise! It’s true that plain living is real living, but if life becomes too mundane, it isn’t interesting. Besides, I think creating surprises is a very romantic thing to do. Don’t believe me? Have a piece of fruit and see. But be careful with the top slice—when you fork it, don’t press too hard!”
Surprise evident on her face, Su Yang asked, “Why? Is this fruit made of some special material?”
“No, it’s just made of regular fruit! Mom, hurry up and eat it; you’ll know once you try!” Wenyan eagerly handed a fruit fork to Su Yang.
Seeing her eagerness, even Su Yang couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous.
“What if I ruin it?”
“Aiya Mom, it’s not that easy to ruin it, and it doesn’t matter if it does. Just give it a try,” Wenyan urged.
“Okay then.”
With a heart full of trepidation and anticipation, Su Yang carefully forked the top slice of red dragon fruit from the fruit platter.
As that piece of dragon fruit was lifted, the layers of fruit below cascaded down like dominoes.
Although a couple of pieces did not fall as intended, it was not hard to make out the shape of a red heart.
“Ah! An actual heart?” Su Yang, born into a wealthy family who had never lacked for anything, had seen it all. What luxury had she not known?
Yet in that moment, she was deeply touched by her foster daughter’s fruit heart.
“Husband, come quick and look! It’s really romantic. Our Yanyan is such a little angel. Hurry, help me take off my bag, I want to take a picture with my phone.”
Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, Aunty Zhang who was waiting on the side immediately passed her the bag.
At the same time, she casually mentioned, “Young Miss got off the plane and didn’t even rest before she started preparing this fruit platter. She followed a video tutorial and arranged it for several hours. I lost patience just watching the length of the video, but Young Miss persisted, saying she wanted to give you, Madame, a surprise.”
“Good Yanyan!” Su Yang was touched, “I love this little romantic gesture so much, thank you, daughter. Come here and give Mom a hug, I’ve missed you for nearly two months.”
“Hee Hee,” basking in the warm and fragrant embrace of Su Yang, Yanyan suddenly felt very happy, and she didn’t forget to take care of the head of the family, “Dad, you eat some too. I washed the grapes that you like to eat.”
“Our Yanyan is really good.” Su Yang couldn’t help but praise again.
Truth be told, she really wanted to post a photo of the heart-shaped fruit platter on her social circle.
But after careful consideration, she chose not to.
Because she didn’t want Zhirou to feel that she was playing favorites.
The relationship between the two daughters was already somewhat sensitive; she didn’t want to only praise one and leave the other out in the cold.
“By the way, Yanyan,” Su Yang pulled Wenyan’s hand and had her sit beside her, “you know Zhirou is back, right? She should have been home all day; have you two seen each other yet?”
…To say they had seen each other was an understatement—they had even had a fight.
But Wenyan did not mention the fight, merely nodding with a smile.
“Yeah, I saw her as soon as I came back. But it seemed like she was quite busy.”
Busy snooping through other people’s rooms and diaries.
“So, I didn’t really talk to her much. Wasn’t she supposed to be overseas for a business trip to oversee a project, for at least three months or as many as six, why did she come back so soon?”
“Oh, that’s because…”
Su Yang had barely begun to speak when Shen Zhirou’s voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
“Dad, Mom, you’re back. I was just dealing with some work stuff and came down a bit late.”
In fact, she had come out of her room as soon as she heard the car pull in.
But she could have never imagined that damnable Wenyan would secretly prepare a surprise in the kitchen behind her back!
A so-called heart-shaped fruit platter, how tacky!
Yet Su Yang fell right for it; like mother, like daughter indeed!
Shen Zhirou felt a surge of darkness in her heart, but her face displayed a particularly gentle and well-behaved smile.
She took the initiative to sit on the other side of Su Yang and started chatting casually with her.
“Mom, this was actually my first time staying abroad for so long. At the beginning, I really wasn’t used to it. How did you all cope with it?”
“It’s true, foreign lifestyles are quite different from ours. Now tell Mom all about it, you were always so busy with work when I called you before.”
“I wanted to work hard to do well at my job; I didn’t want others to think I got my position just through family connections.”
“Good child, you’re ambitious, and Mom is proud of you.”
Shen Zhirou kept finding topics to talk to Su Yang about, occasionally glancing at Wenyan with a look that wasn’t without provocation.
She thought Wenyan would feel jealous, would feel envious.
But Wenyan could only earnestly reflect in her heart.
[Ah, Mrs. Su is really so gentle, treating every child the same. How fortunate I am that fate has given me such a good mother.]
