Wen Cheng had been racking her brains accepting bribes all day, and then came to pick out gifts in the evening, so she was already exhausted. She fell asleep ten minutes after receiving the gifts. Secretary Zhao had been driving very steadily until a car in front of him suddenly stopped, and he slammed on the brakes.
After regaining his footing, he checked the situation behind him, and his eyes widened slightly.
Wen Cheng was still asleep, but she leaned on Wen Qi's shoulder. Wen Qi didn't push her away; instead, a strange red tinge appeared on the tip of his ear.
The atmosphere between the two of them became even more intense at this moment.
Wen Qi suddenly looked up, his hazy eyes instantly becoming clear and sharp. "Keep driving, be careful."
Despite the turmoil churning within him, Secretary Zhao nodded with professional composure and drove toward the Wen residence with a strange expression.
From now on, I'll just be a tool who understands everything.
...
The Wen and Gu families are good friends, and the two couples often get together when they have time. Therefore, the entire Wen family will be present for Gu Yuning's birthday. Moreover, this is a rare occasion for the Gu family to hold such a grand birthday banquet for their daughter. Those who know, know.

Chapter 29 Big Brother, You're Still the Best!
This was the first time the entire Wen family had gathered together. Naturally, Wen Yin had the four men in the family dressed up for several hours. Wen Cheng was so dizzy from all the dressing up that when he came to his senses, he even had his hair dyed!
For the first time in my life, I made this decision in such a muddled way! And I even dyed my hair a blue-gray color that most parents wouldn't be happy with?
The blue-gray curly hair, combined with her more refined facial features, is undeniably pretty, but it also makes her look... much younger!
The clothes were also a custom-made white suit with delicate subtle patterns. Wen Cheng never thought she could have such an elegant day!
But with that hair, Wen Cheng looked like she was about to cry.
Tony, the hairstylist, quickly came over and handed over tissues.
"My little darling, you can't let your little pearl fall! Our eye makeup today is meticulously done, and we're aiming for that subtle, delicate look. If you cry, it'll all be gone!" Tony the stylist exclaimed in an exaggeratedly high-pitched voice, but his actions were very gentle.
Wen Cheng said, feeling wronged, "If you can't tell, then why bother applying makeup?"
Teacher Tong's inner thoughts: How am I supposed to explain this to you, this straight guy who looks exactly like a gay man?
To avoid wasting time, Tony the hairstylist quickly changed the subject, asking, "Is there anything you're not happy about, little cutie?"
Wen Cheng pointed indignantly at her hair.
"Oh my goodness, this is my masterpiece today, how can you complain about it!"
Wen Cheng was annoyed. "You didn't even tell me you were going to create this masterpiece!"
Tony blushed slightly, "Oh dear, inspiration just strikes and I can't stop it! Besides, I just asked Madam, and she totally agrees. And, my little darling, I just asked you too, and you said yes, didn't you?"
Did he hum? But he was clearly sleeping just now! Did he hum in his dream? Wen Cheng felt even more emo.
Tony sensed that Wen Cheng was really down, and in order to justify his 100,000 yuan salary, he quickly explained, "It's okay, little cutie, this is disposable, you can wash it off if you don't like it."
Hearing this, Wen Cheng felt a little better. After all, he was a conservative type of person and was more used to his black hair.
As soon as Wen Cheng came out, Wen Yin clapped and cheered, her eyes filled with undisguised amazement. The whole family was also pleasantly surprised by Wen Cheng's new look.
"My baby looks so good with gray hair!"
Wen Yin's ideas are also very progressive!
Wen Cheng's chubby face looked a little puffed up, and her eyes were filled with misty watery mist, which would melt anyone's heart.
Wen Yongwang quietly took out his phone and secretly took a picture. Just as he was pleased that no one had noticed, he was suddenly tapped on his right shoulder.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Wen Qi asked deliberately, having seen through everything.
Wen Yongwang coughed, displaying his lifelong authority.
It successfully attracted the attention of the whole family.
Wen Yin: "Honey, you have a cold?"
Wen Yunyi: "Dad, would you like some honey water?"
Although Wen Cheng was a little slow to react, as a member of the Wen family, he had an obligation to join the family chat.
Wen Cheng: "Mmm!"
Wen Qi chuckled, "You're the one in charge of summarizing?"
Wen Cheng nodded proudly and gave Wen Qi a thumbs up, "Big brother, your translation is excellent!"
Wen Cheng's ability to hitch a ride is also top-notch.
......
The family officially set off, sitting in their incredibly luxurious extended Lincoln limousine. The car had a small wine cabinet and a small coffee table. Wen Cheng consciously sat next to Wen Qi.
Wen Qi then had a perfectly good reason to reach out and pet Wen Cheng's curly hair.
However, Wen Cheng didn't have time to argue with Wen Qi, because her father magically produced a bunch of snacks for her from under the small liquor cabinet. Wen Cheng took out a bag of peeled pine nuts and chewed them with gusto. After finishing the pine nuts, she took a sip of juice and then casually stuffed a few Want Want Little Buns into her mouth.
Wen Yongwang looked at him with a kind expression.
Wen Yunyi looked at Wen Cheng with a complicated expression. The more he looked at Wen Cheng, the more she seemed like a useless little cookie. His competitive spirit had been worn down by various phenomenal setbacks.
Seeing her son about to tear open a new bag of rice crackers, Wen Yin quickly reached out and confiscated it.
And she hardened her heart and said, "Chengcheng can't eat anymore. We dressed her up so nicely, what if she eats too much and gets a tummy? A lot of dads' friends brought their sons here today, you can't be careless!"
Wen Qi lowered his eyes, but his peripheral vision couldn't miss a single expression from Wen Cheng.
Wen Yunyi was overjoyed to see Wen Yin teaching Wen Cheng a lesson, but the next second...
"And you, Yiyi, even though you call Chengcheng 'brother,' you two are the same age. Be extra careful tonight too. You've been out of college for a year now!"
Wen Yunyi lowered his noble head.
Wen Cheng was puzzled. "But Mom, why do we have to discuss business at a cocktail party? I don't think my older brother does it that way." Besides, he's a lazy bum and doesn't want to do anything that sounds tiring.
Wen Yin was stunned, truly shocked by her son's level-ten comprehension ability.
Wen Qi's lips curled up slightly, and his hand stroking Wen Cheng's hair became even more playful.
Wen Yin got anxious. "I'm not asking you to do business, you silly boy. See if there's anyone you like. Qin Zhou wasn't a good match last time, so let's look again. I'm not forcing you to get married. Let's treat this as premarital practice and learn about the art of dating first."
Wen Cheng felt ashamed. He never expected to be pressured to get married one day. He had no interest at the moment; he just wanted to cling to his older brother's coattails. There was just one thing...
"Mom, why do I have to look at boys? Can't I look at girls?" Wen Cheng protested slightly.
Looking at her two baby sons, still covered in mushy milk, any normal woman would feel a surge of maternal instinct. She coughed slightly.
"My dear son, don't think about things you shouldn't be thinking about. Your daughter-in-law still depends on your older brother."
Wen Qi chuckled, clearly finding Wen Cheng's resistance pale and futile.
Wen Yunyi, who was automatically categorized as Wen Cheng: I really don't want to be in the same group as this useless little biscuit, okay? But our attributes just clash, so annoying!
Wen Cheng looked at Wen Yongwang with a depressed expression, trying to get some warmth from her father.
Wen Yongwang met his gaze for a second, then silently turned his head away.
Wen Cheng immediately made wide noodles.
Feeling the weight on his head, he suddenly felt that only his older brother still loved him in the whole world.
Instead, she quietly raised her head and offered her fluffiest part to her older brother's palm, letting the understanding older brother rub it a little more!
"Big brother, you're still the best~" Wen Cheng said coquettishly.
"What if I said I think so too?" Wen Qi raised an eyebrow.
Wen Cheng was instantly terrified, her face turning into a groundhog emoji, staring blankly at him with her mouth half open.
Wen Qi pondered for a moment, then said very seriously, "I was just kidding you."
Wen Cheng decisively tilted her head back, a smug look on her face.
Wen Yin looked complicated. Her son was so naive, wouldn't he get scammed if he went out?
Wen Yunyi watched all this indifferently. This little vixen was using her feigned ignorance to win over her elder brother's hard and cold heart! How cunning!

Wen Cheng: I have a cheat code, but I'm not going to tell you!
Wen Qi: My younger brother is silly, but I just smiled and didn't say anything.
Chapter 30 Little Fool
The Wen family arrived at the Gu residence ten minutes ahead of schedule, a half-hour drive away.
The Gu family home is a typical European-style courtyard, with an exquisitely designed outer courtyard. The rows of luxury cars lining the main road attest to the importance of this banquet.
Wen Yongwang, as was his custom, got out of the car with his family.
Among his peers in the industry, there were few who weren't envious of Wen Yongwang.
Some people have a good son, but because of an unhappy marriage, the father and son are estranged. Some people have a good wife, but their son is a good-for-nothing. Some people don't even have either of these qualities. Even if they do, none of their children are as good-looking as Wen Qi.
A gentle wife and two promising sons. Although neither of the children are Wen Yongwang's biological children, their relationship is not something that can be easily severed by the loss of blood ties. Wen Qi, in particular, is practically the epitome of a wealthy second- or third-generation heir.
While others were still enjoying the benefits of family connections, Wen Qi had already opened up a brand new territory for his family and become the leader in that field. While others were still relying on their fathers' connections, countless boys and girls of similar social standing were already dreaming of becoming Wen Qi's wife.
As soon as the family got out of the car, countless eyes turned to them, and some acquaintances came over to greet them.
Wen Qi and Wen Yunyi were born into this circle, and everyone greeted them naturally. Then, their gazes naturally fell on Wen Cheng at the back, with her blue-gray curly hair, delicate features, and a slightly distant air about her.
She's definitely a little beauty.
Everyone had a vague idea of Wen Cheng's identity, but no one dared to go up and greet her rashly.
Wen Cheng couldn't understand the strange looks in those people's eyes, but he was still greatly shocked. His social anxiety kicked in, and he stayed close to Wen Qi. Even being a centimeter away from him would make the fragile little good-for-nothing uneasy.
