Chapter 37.1

Next day, in the early morning, Shen Yan got up early to wash up and waited for Luo Shuyan to come over to his home.

He wanted to know what happened after she reached home yesterday, and what he wanted to know most was whether Uncle Luo would send Luo Shuyan away like that person said.

Luo Shuyan woke up at dawn. Today, she didn’t stay in bed, and after getting out of bed and washing up. She carried her school bag and went to the next door.

He was startled when he first entered the room, Shen Yan was sitting on a chair and staring at the door. When he saw her coming in, he quickly sat up and the chair he was sitting on almost toppled over.

“How was it?” Shen Yan rushed over and asked several questions in a row, “What did Uncle Luo say? How will he solve this matter?”

Luo Shuyan was stunned. “…”

After considering his actions yesterday, he must truly care about her. Luo Shuyan decided to not hide things from him. She whispered, “It’s nothing, my father said that he and Auntie Song have broken up. Oh, and he also doesn’t plan to get married to anyone in the near future.”

When Shen Yan heard this, the amount of information was too much for him to handle. Even his clever little brain couldn’t digest it, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

He’s not — not ever planning to get married? Was Shen Yan misunderstanding what that meant?

Luo Shuyan blinked at him, and said in a low voice, “I’ll tell you the rest later on the way to school.”

Somehow, she and Shen Yan had unknowingly became very good friends. She could not hide any secrets from him. However, she didn’t know if he shared all his secrets with her.

This was a miraculous situation. It’s hard to imagine that her current best friend was Shen Yan, a boy.

Shen Yan nodded hesitantly. “Okay.”

When he observed her being like this, it didn’t seem like something bad had happened to her.

That’s good. Uncle Luo had handle the situation gracefully.

Today was a sunny day. There was no need for Luo Tianyuan to drive them, plus, Luo Shuyan also wanted to chat with Shen Yan, so she refused her father’s offer to send them to school by car. She gave an excuse that she had eaten too much for breakfast and wanted to walk to school to help with digestion.

After breakfast, Luo Shuyan and Shen Yan went downstairs and walked out of the neighbourhood. They headed towards Ning City Primary School.

Luo Shuyan conveyed what Luo Tianyuan said to her yesterday in a way that children could understand. Shen Yan, who was also male, was stunned.

When Luo Shuyan noticed that Shen Yan wasn’t speaking, Luo Shuyan shoved him in the arm. “Anyway, my father means that he doesn’t plan to get married. What do you think?”

Shen Yan finally came back to his senses and said, “It’s pretty good.”

Luo Shuyan was dumbfounded. “Is it…good?”

Shen Yan glanced at her. “At least you won’t have a stepmother. No one will abuse you or deny you food. Neither will anyone send you to live with someone else or to boarding school.”

Luo Shuyan was speechless.

She felt confused. She knew he made sense, but… She remembered that her grandparents used to hope that her father would get married someday. At that time, they spent every moment trying to find someone for him. They wanted to introduce him to someone, but unfortunately he declined them all.

Shen Yan saw Luo Shuyan’s hesitation, and said, “Why are you caring so much about what our parents are doing? Uncle Luo naturally has his reasons for his decision, and it’s true that not everyone wants to get married. Marriage is so boring.”

Was this really not against nature for a seven-year-old boy to say such a thing?

Luo Shuyan stayed silent for a moment, and then said, “I really wish there was a tape recorder to record your words and play them to your future girlfriend.”

Shen Yan was now numb to such topics.

Because he found that he couldn’t avoid it at all, and neither could Luo Shuyan. Most of the popular TV dramas now focus on the relationship between men and women. Even his classmate who sat behind him talked about marrying a TV star everyday.

Fortunately, despite everyone talking about this, it seemed that male students and female students have begun to maintain some distance between each other. Male students do not like to sit at the same table as female students, and the teacher will not arrange the seat arrangements in such a way. People like Shen Yan and Luo Shuyan who would go to and from school together every day were a very small minority.

Shen Yan was silent.

In the past, he would definitely clap back at her, but today his mind was thinking about the secret codes they could use while tapping on the wall.

Originally, he planned to talk about it with Luo Shuyan, but when he turned his head and saw her smiling, he gave up.

Forget it. Even though they would be faster if they were to come up with the codes together, she was already very busy during this time, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

–

After Luo Tianyuan returned to the company, he received a call from Song Qianjin.

Song Qianjin returned to Shenzhen some time ago, and he made a few phone calls every week to report on the company’s situation.

Five years ago, Smile-yan Fashion was just an inconspicuous fashion company in Shenzhen, but things were different now. After five years, when people in the metropolis talked about clothing, they would definitely think of Smile-yan Fashion.

Luo Tianyuan believed that if he were to employ someone, he had to fully put his trust in the person. He trusts Song Qianjin very much, and Song Qianjin repayed Luo Tianyuan with 100% sincerity. No matter how big or small, he never dares to hide from Luo Tianyuan, let alone take advantage of it.
