"Aqi, about this project of yours..." Wen Yongwang carefully reviewed the project with his son. After all, he was an experienced person, and although his son was quite outstanding, Wen Yongwang still made sure to guide him throughout the process.
Wen Qi answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, which, in Wen Cheng's eyes, was no different from a meeting between two high-ranking leaders.
Wen Cheng was staring at Wen Qi in a daze when Wen Qi turned his head to get some water, and their eyes met.
However, since they had made eye contact, Wen Cheng still smiled very sweetly at Wen Qi, her eyes sparkling as if they were filled with little stars.
Wen Qi silently turned back. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he actually saw loneliness in Wen Cheng's eyes. She was smiling happily at him, but she placed herself in the position of an observer. It was as if her family was separated from him by a river, and he was just watching helplessly from the other side.
Wen Cheng was thinking: I wonder if the big boss is satisfied with my morning sunshine smile?
"Brother, my friends and I are going to a fun party today. Everyone's familiar with us, and they're all very friendly. Can you come with me?" Wen Yunyi wiped his mouth and then extended an incredibly enthusiastic invitation to Wen Cheng.
Wen Cheng felt she would be a fool to go; her momentary hesitation allowed Wen Yunyi to seize the opportunity, as he had planned.
Today, the script must be online!
"Brother, you don't believe me anymore, do you? I promise everyone won't laugh at you this time. I just want you to make more friends!"
Wen Yunyi's last sentence successfully caught the attention of his parents.
“Yes, Chengcheng, go play with your brother. If they bully you, tell Mom. You might even make some friends, which could help you in your future work.” Wen Yin thought it was a good idea. In her opinion, children should play with their peers. Chengcheng was busy with work before coming home and didn’t have many good friends to talk to.
"Is going to parties the only way to make friends? Did Brother Qi go to parties every day when he was my age?"
Forehead,
Wen Yunyi was instantly choked.
What a shameless scoundrel, actually blaming his brother!

Chapter 7 Is your skin itching again?
Wen Cheng's words left the Wen couple speechless.
So you're saying your brother already negotiated a contract renewal with the company's biggest partner when he was your age, and even squeezed a hefty sum out of them in the new contract? As for parties? Sorry, Wen Qi doesn't need to rely on these social events to maintain relationships with clients. As for friends? For Wen Qi, anyone who doesn't have something to offer isn't a friend.
Can you really say that? Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to say it?
Wen Yin turned to her husband for help.
Wen Yongwang, who was entrusted with an important task, coughed seriously. "Chengcheng, these two things are different. You can't make friends just by going to a party. Your brother and your mother want you to relax a bit, go out and see more of the world. You don't have to go to parties to make friends. There are many ways. Your brother Qi is already capable of managing the company on his own at your age. You can learn from your brother Qi's abilities, but you also need to balance work and rest."
Wen Yunyi felt he loved his father even more at this moment.
"Then come to the party with me, brother. It's the weekend, so it's good to relax a bit." Wen Yunyi smiled innocently, his invitation full of sincerity. Coupled with his air of feigning innocence, he truly lived up to his status as the main protagonist of this book.
But Wen Cheng really couldn't be bothered with such a boring party. He didn't understand the topics that a bunch of rich kids were talking about, and how many people in that scheming girl's party would respect him? Why send him there? To be humiliated? Even if he himself didn't care about those rumors, any normal person wouldn't like to send themselves there to cause trouble.
Wen Qi also noticed Wen Cheng's furrowed brows out of the corner of his eye. Her fingers tapped lightly on the spoon, as if she wanted to say something.
"We'll all drink and chat at the party, but I don't like drinking. Wasn't the point to relax? But I'll feel so tired going out. I'm getting old, and I'm not as nimble as my brother. Maybe next time." Wen Cheng refused dejectedly, looking quite weary. Everyone knew they shared the same birthday!
Wen Yunyi was on guard. "Brother, you may not know this, but some of my close friends have felt guilty about what happened last time and have been wanting to see you. You don't hate my friends, do you?"
“If you want to apologize, you can come to my house. Without even this much sincerity, what remorse can you talk about?” Wen Qi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
Wen Yunyi's teapot wobbled in fright and dared not utter a sound.
Wen Yin was slightly better at reading the room than her husband. She hadn't expected her eldest son to be so tactful, actually speaking up for Wen Cheng. But Wen Qi's words were completely correct. She suddenly realized that she might not have considered things from Cheng Cheng's perspective enough before.
Wen Cheng's eyes lit up; Brother Qi was practically his guiding light! As long as he didn't go out and could just laze around at home, he was perfectly content.
"Then you just invite people, and I'll handle the arrangements."
Wen Yunyi immediately sensed something was wrong.
But his parents thought there was no problem with this decision, and there was no room for him to make any changes!
After breakfast, the Wen couple quickly got ready and left. Before leaving, Wen Yin didn't forget to pet Wen Cheng, clearly having become addicted to this behavior.
Then there's Wen Qi.
Before Wen Qi left, Wen Cheng sidled up to him, clearly reluctant to part. If it weren't for the starry-eyed excitement in Wen Cheng's eyes contrasting sharply with his expression of reluctance, Wen Qi would have almost believed that Wen Cheng truly didn't want to leave him.
Wen Yunyi didn't back down either, and even moved closer to him to tell him to be careful on the road.
Wen Qi gave a faint "hmm." Of course, he could see what his seemingly unassuming younger brother truly felt for Wen Cheng.
Wen Qi didn't care before, only thinking that Wen Cheng's personality was too bad. He pretended not to see Wen Yunyi's little tricks. But now Wen Cheng is trying to integrate into this family. He shouldn't have too much taken away from him by a fake young master after losing more than 20 years of happiness.
Thinking of Wen Cheng looking at the leftover cake with reluctance last night, Wen Qi's gaze gradually turned cold.
Wen Yunyi was extremely good at reading people's expressions, and seeing his elder brother's expression, he couldn't help but feel timid.
Wen Qi didn't say anything, but patted Wen Yunyi on the shoulder and warned him with his eyes not to go too far.
Wen Yunyi's mood plummeted, and a feeling of resentment welled up once again.
After the three of them left, only Aunt Li and the two of them were left at home.
Wen Yunyi still pretended to be very obedient and asked Wen Yunyi what the next steps were. He felt that no matter where they were, Wen Cheng would only embarrass herself in front of him. He was also venting his anger for the ten million last night. He wasn't blind. Wen Cheng's behavior showed that she didn't like Qin Zhou at all!
"Brother, isn't it a bit too late to prepare at home now?" Wen Yunyi couldn't guess what Wen Cheng was up to.
Wen Cheng smiled mysteriously and did not answer Wen Yunyi's question. Wen Yunyi could only silently send a message to his "fan club".
I outnumber you and I don't believe you can pull off the same amazing feats as yesterday!
Half an hour later, Wen Cheng couldn't help but marvel at the enthusiasm of Wen Yunyi's "fan club." They must have come over as soon as they heard the notice at home.
As the protagonist of this book, besides the main character, there must also be some supporting characters to highlight the protagonist's charm.
Wen Yunyi went to open the door, and soon brought in three burly men.
When they saw Wen Cheng, their eyes were undoubtedly filled with contempt. If it were the original owner of this body, she would have been furious.
But Wen Cheng didn't care at all. The takoyaki that Aunt Li had just fried was so delicious, she ate it one bite at a time!
"You've arrived, please have a seat!" Wen Cheng warmly welcomed them.
Yao Xingwei's expression turned noticeably unpleasant upon seeing the scene before him. On the table was only a single serving of takoyaki and some fruit he was tired of looking at.
"Yiyi, is this what you meant by your brother's warm hospitality?" he asked bluntly.
"Hey, why is Xingwei so agitated? He's from the countryside, does he think setting up some fruit is enough to attract customers?" Liu Liangpeng, who wore glasses and looked like a somewhat refined scoundrel, seemed to mean well, but was actually adding fuel to the fire.
Only the young man standing a little further back coughed, not wanting to say anything more.
Wen Cheng also remembered him, Qi Ge's number one fan, He Haobo. Unlike the previous two, he was on good terms with Wen Yunyi mostly because of Wen Qi.
At this moment, Wen Yunyi stepped forward. It was finally his turn to perform. He frowned aggrievedly, with a look of extreme sanctity: "Don't say that about your brother. Maybe he has prepared another surprise. I know he would never play a trick on my most important friend."
After he finished speaking, his fans' eyes reddened with emotion.
Wen Cheng swallowed the last takoyaki and looked at these young masters speechlessly. Luckily, he hadn't gone to the party, otherwise he would have been even more upset. They even came over to apologize. Did they come here to act like big shots? This little green tea's tea-making skills are really top-notch!
Wen Cheng coughed, then suddenly put on a very hurt face. Her puppy eyes became wet and she looked pitiful. She was completely different from the Wen Cheng who used to be so easily angered. She was practically Wen Yunyi 2.0!
"My brother is right. I haven't been a good host. Mom and Dad want me to make friends, but all I can think of is inviting friends to play games. I didn't even consider taking care of your stomachs. I'm so inconsiderate. I'll go to the kitchen and cook for you right now~" Wen Cheng said, standing up with a very aggrieved expression.
When Wen Yunyi saw Wen Cheng like this, he felt for a moment that their personalities seemed to clash.
"Hey, why are you suddenly like this? It's like we're bullying you!" Yao Xingwei, who was just so arrogant a moment ago, was the first to back down.
His impression of Wen Cheng remained from the previous party, where she had a fierce look on her face, disliked everyone, spoke in a very high-pitched voice, and was always picking on Yi Yi.
This time, everything seems completely different. Wen Cheng is no longer prickly at all. Her once fierce, fiery eyes are now moist, and her facial features have softened considerably. The slightly pointed tip of her nose makes Wen Cheng's expression appear exceptionally gentle.
And maybe they really did invite him over.
Yao Xingwei's fatal weakness: He responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
"Hmm, not at all. I'll go make you something to eat," Wen Cheng said with a heavy nasal tone, sounding incredibly aggrieved. A closer sniff revealed the familiar scent of white lotus!
Just as Wen Cheng was about to leave, she was stopped by two people. When she turned around, she saw Yao Xingwei, whose expression was still extremely awkward, and He Haobo, who had been silent all along.
“We’ve already eaten, so we can ask Auntie to help with these things. Didn’t you want to play games? Come on over.” He Haobo stepped in as a mediator.
Wen Cheng bit her lip, but finally nodded obediently.
He Haobo suddenly realized that the boy in front of him was quite handsome when he wasn't making a fuss. It was common knowledge that the Wen family was known for producing beauties, especially since he was the Wen family's only son.
Wen Yunyi stood to the side, his pupils dilating in shock.
What's wrong with Wen Cheng? Did she contact the hospital a couple of days ago for a brain scan?
At this moment, Liu Liangpeng, who had been standing behind Wen Yunyi, patted Wen Yunyi on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry, Yiyi, I will definitely not let that kid bully you."
Wen Yunyi regained his composure and rubbed his eyes, feigning strength. "What are you saying, Brother Liu? My brother is actually quite good to me."
...Your teammate Liu Liangpeng has officially entered battle mode.
The group sat on the sofa and logged into the game together.
The homeowner was Wen Yunyi. The four of them were all familiar with each other, and Wen Cheng was the last one to be brought in.
"A lazy bum just loafing around and waiting to die?" Yao Xingwei read out Wen Cheng's ID with a hint of speechlessness.
Wen Cheng lowered her head shyly, "This is my ultimate dream~"
Everyone: Has your taste changed too quickly? The person who was clamoring to be the vice president just a few days ago should still have your name on their ID card, right?
The five players teamed up, and everyone was at a similar rank, all in Diamond, except for He Haobo, who had already reached King.
He Haobo was the first to pre-select the mage position, while Yao Xingwei and Liu Liangpeng were still hesitating. Then they saw the Wen brothers' unusual resemblance.
Wen Cheng, who was playing with fish, and Wen Yunyi, who was playing with a jade pendant, exchanged a glance in mid-air.
Ah, so we're kindred spirits.
Where there's conflict, Liu Liangpeng, the leader of Wen Yunyi's fan club, is the first to stand up and jump out: "Wen Cheng, why are you fighting with Yi Yi for support? Don't you know Yi Yi is the best Yao player in the city? You haven't even mastered enough Yu, have you? I'm playing marksman, and I need Yao this game. I don't need a noob."
He Haobo frowned. Was this attitude a bit too much?
Yao Xingwei, being thick-skinned, didn't think much of it at all. "Yeah, Yi Yi's Yao is at the city level. Marksmen have a big advantage this season. The two of them have good chemistry. Wen Cheng, you don't know how. Just let any tank play top lane."
"Xingwei, Liangpeng, don't flatter me. I'm not very good at this game. Rather than feeding kills, I'd rather use Yao to protect my teammates," Wen Yunyi said with a modest smile.
