The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 582 - 315

"How are you going to help me?" Wenyan looked up at Shen Jingxiu, "Are you going to call me every day for a run?"

Shen Jingxiu did not give Wenyan an immediate answer but asked her, "Are you willing?"

Without hesitation, Wenyan replied, "Of course I’m willing. But it seems like you don’t stay home every day either, right? Don’t you often work overtime and then just stay near the company?"

Shen Jingxiu chuckled lightly, "As long as you’re willing, none of that will be a problem. I don’t like working overtime as much now."

"Really? Why?" Wenyan blinked, "Has the Shen Group been less busy recently?"

"Busy. It’s just that I want to slow down and return to life."

Wenyan nodded, "That’s how it should be, working five days and having two days off to give yourself some more time and space. By the way, where are we going to run? Mom just told me not to miss breakfast."

"Don’t worry, you won’t miss breakfast. Just follow me. You haven’t answered my question yet."

"Oh," Wenyan realized, "I’m willing. There’s nothing better than having my big brother to accompany me for a morning run."

"Good. Then we’ll start with waking you up. What time did you set your alarm? Can it wake you up on time?"

"Uh..." Wenyan fell silent, "At home I usually sleep until I naturally wake up. I don’t have a set alarm routine."

"Oh?" Shen Jingxiu slightly raised an eyebrow, "Very good." frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Very good?" Wenyan couldn’t help but give Shen Jingxiu another sideways glance, "Big brother, are you mocking me?"

"Of course not," Shen Jingxiu said with a hint of surprise, "Do I look like I’m mocking you? It’s just a lack of set alarms, I can wake you up."

"Really? You offer wake-up calls too?"

"I do as I say."

Wenyan giggled, "Who would have thought that the big CEO of the Shen Group would actually provide wake-up calls for someone else."

"You’re not just someone else."

"That’s true, I’m your sister, we’re family."

"..." Shen Jingxiu was silent for two seconds before his mouth curled helplessly.

Wenyan didn’t notice the subtle change in Shen Jingxiu’s expression and blithely changed the subject to continue their conversation.

"It feels so much better to run outside than on a treadmill. But the weather will get hotter in a while. Morning runs might not be suitable then."

"Starting at six or seven o’clock should be fine."

"Six is too early for me. I can’t."

"Are you afraid of the heat, or are you afraid of getting tanned?"

"The heat is okay; I actually like the feeling of sweating. But I’m afraid of getting tanned, it’s easy to get tanned but hard to get back to fair skin."

"Then we could run at night."

"Hmm, but you can’t see the beautiful scenery at night. If there were some very shady trails, that would be nice—I wouldn’t have to worry about the sun in summer."

As Wenyan spoke, she looked around, "But there don’t seem to be any shady trails nearby."

Indeed, Shen Jingxiu had run around here countless times and had never found a place that met Wenyan’s criteria.

But what of it?

His gaze fell on a spot not far away as he said lightly, "There can be."

"Really?" Wenyan didn’t take his remark seriously and quickly shifted the topic to a large tree up ahead.

"What tree is that with two different colors of flowers on it?"

"That’s a Mimosa Tree, but it bloomed earlier than usual this year."

"And what about those purple ones over there?"

"Jacaranda. It’s not quite at its peak bloom. It will be even prettier in a month or two."

"Jacaranda... such a beautiful name. Big brother, how do you know everything? You’re amazing!"

Wenyan looked up at Shen Jingxiu, her eyes full of admiration.

Shen Jingxiu couldn’t help but find it amusing—knowing a few trees she didn’t made him amazing in her eyes?

But what did it matter? He liked the way she was looking at him right then.
