Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 119 Making a Plan
The girl standing next to the table did not react immediately.

Instead, he stared at the boy in the seat in front of him, remaining silent for a long time, until such a gaze made Liu Songyan, who was being watched, frown slightly.

Sensing that the other person was already a little unhappy, Shen Ruzhi finally spoke up.

"Why did you suddenly agree?"

"Figured out."

After responding, Liu Songyan put away the notebook that was on the table and then put it back in the drawer.

The pulley rotates and closes again as an external force pushes it.

The noises echoed in the room.

Liu Songyan leaned back in his seat, a rare smile on his face.

"Instead of praying that my dad will be the first person I marry, I should pay more attention to the people around me."

"So, you think my mom is perfect..."

“I was observing during dinner yesterday, and the atmosphere when Auntie and Wanqiu were talking made me feel very comfortable.”

Compared to the shadow that Lin Wanran once cast over the entire family, Wen Yunwei's personality is more in line with Liu Songyan's definition of a mother.

It's easy to see from Shen Ruzhi's appearance that Wen Yunwei is undoubtedly better than her biological mother when it comes to being a mother.

Actually, it was on the notebook that had just been put back in the drawer.

Turning the page forward reveals another set of comparative data presented by Liu Songyan.

As the biological mother, Lin Wanran's actions did not leave a good impression on the children.

Not only did he disrupt what should have been a harmonious family, but he also recklessly abandoned his family and chose to leave alone.

If we simply list two points, the difference between the two can be clearly seen.

Lin Wanran is arrogant and selfish.

Wen Yunwei is kind and reliable.

Although Shen Ruzhi mentioned during the summer vacation that her mother wasn't very good at cooking, Liu Songyan, as her son, didn't see this as a disadvantage at all.

After all, a normal couple should live in harmony and help each other.

If one party makes excessive sacrifices, the marriage will ultimately fail to last.

Looking at Shen Ruzhi in front of him, Liu Songyan paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"That's why I had this idea and analyzed its feasibility."

"But... Uncle..."

Her tightly pursed lips parted again, and Shen Ruzhi hesitated for a long time before adding her words.

"Will my uncle agree? Is it really appropriate for us to make this decision privately?"

“My dad is focused on his work right now, and then there’s me and Wanqiu. If we wait for him to take the initiative to approach women, I don’t know how many years it will be before he even has that idea.”

"I'll just say it."

She let out a sigh of relief and immediately felt relaxed.

"We children shouldn't meddle in other people's business; let the adults handle it themselves..."

"Do not."

A brief denial came from Liu Songyan, interrupting Shen Ruzhi's attempt to evade the issue.

Looking at the slightly nervous girl in front of him, Liu Songyan lowered his eyes to the floor.

"Instead of waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative. I have made a few plans."

"..."

"Firstly, we should let them develop freely, but my dad doesn't seem to have that idea right now, and I also see that my aunt is busy with work."

"Secondly, you and I should work together. When you go home, talk about my dad to your mom often, and I will also talk about your mom frequently at home. Over time, feelings will develop, and the more you talk about her, the more she will be impressed."

"Thirdly, create a chance encounter to make them believe that the red thread of fate has quietly tied the two of them together."

Hearing Liu Songyan's serious suggestion, Shen Ruzhi didn't know how to react.

She just looked at him, observing his serious expression.

"A chance encounter... how do we create that?"

“It’s very simple. Buy two movie tickets, take one home, give it to your mom and tell her that my dad invited her to the movies.”

"What about Uncle's side?"

"Using the same method, say that your aunt invited him to a movie but he didn't get to eat, and your mother felt bad about it, so she invited him to go to the movies alone."

"If that's the case, when we get to the movie theater and my uncle starts chatting with my mom... won't that give us away?"

Haven't you heard this saying?

He listened to Shen Ruzhi keep raising questions, eager to find points to refute.

Liu Songyan provided his answer.

"Since we're already here, why not watch the movie after paying for the tickets?"

The conclusion is so logical and well-founded that it is impossible to find any rebuttal.

Shen Ruzhi lowered her gaze slowly, avoiding any possibility of meeting the boy's eyes.

The hands hanging down at either side unconsciously clenched into fists.

"That, that..."

He opened his mouth and mumbled meaninglessly.

However, Shen Ruzhi was now unable to refute the other party.

After opening her mouth several times, she finally closed it again, her head drooping so that Liu Songyan could not see her expression.

"That's it."

With a resounding decision, Liu Songyan brought this secret plot to an end.

He moved the chair, opened the drawer containing the notebook again, but instead of picking it up, he reached out and began to grope around inside.

With a ripping sound, the wallet, secured by tape, appeared in his hand.

This was the old wallet that his father had replaced. Liu Songyan thought it was still usable, so he asked his father for it.

After all, there was a family member who was greedy for money, so out of caution, Liu Songyan, who was always vigilant, made extra preparations.

In front of Shen Ruzhi, Liu Songyan took out his leather armor, looked at the banknotes he had saved up recently, and stopped in his tracks as he was about to take out money.

He looked up at Shen Ruzhi, who seemed lost in thought.

How much are two movie tickets?

"do not know……"

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Standing up, Liu Songyan put away his wallet and stuffed it into his pants pocket.

He turned and walked towards the door.

Shen Ruzhi, who had been keeping her face down and watching the boy out of the corner of her eye, immediately noticed this behavior. She quickly raised her face and asked him a question.

"Where are you going?"

"Wash your face and get ready to go out."

"To the store?"

"Let's go to the cinema."

He raised his hand and patted the pocket that was noticeably bulging because of the wallet.

Liu Songyan opened the locked door and turned to Shen Ruzhi behind him.

"If the plan goes smoothly, you'll be my sister from now on. Anyway, I don't have anything to do at home on Sundays, so I'll treat you to a movie."

As he said this, Liu Songyan reached out and opened the door to the room.

The sudden opening of the door exposed the figure outside, who was about to escape, to the two of them.

Inside the room, Liu Songyan and Shen Ruzhi both turned to look at the doorway, watching Liu Wanqiu, who was still in the act of running away, and looking at her silently turned face.

Embarrassment showed on her face, and the young Liu Wanqiu muttered somewhat shyly.

"I was afraid you two would fight in the room, so I..."

"What a mess."

Liu Songyan, the older brother, was unsure what his younger sister meant by the word "fighting."

I interrupted the other person before they finished explaining, and told them to wash their face and look refreshed before going out.

Upon hearing that they were about to leave, Liu Wanqiu, who had been caught eavesdropping, felt puzzled.

Tilting her head, she looked at her brother heading to the bathroom to wash up, then leaned against the door frame and asked curiously.

"Going out? Where are the three of us going?"

"Cinema."

He casually scooped up water and splashed it on his face. After a few times, Liu Songyan braced his hands on the sink counter and turned to look down at his sister.

Seeing the other person's puzzled face, he continued to explain.

"How about I take you to a movie? Want to go?"

"Go!"

Liu Wanqiu, her face beaming with surprise, immediately raised her arm and shouted.

Liu Wanqiu was stunned by the unexpected news that her usually stingy older brother would offer to pay for her to go to the movies.

They cheered and jumped for joy.

It ran around in circles, making a "thump thump thump" sound.

Shen Ruzhi walked out of the room and silently looked at the cheering figure in front of her.

Although Liu Songyan had agreed to his initial suggestion, she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.

He glanced at Liu Wanqiu, who was still cheering in front of him, and then looked away after a moment.

Looking towards the corner of the wall, a hint of regret lingered in his eyes.

Lingering.

------------

"Boss, are you single?"

The young-looking female shop assistant asked her boss, who was staring blankly into space.

Inside Mixue Ice Cream, the newly hired female employees are not yet twenty years old.

It seems that he didn't choose to continue his studies after graduating from junior high school and entered the workforce early. He came to apply after seeing the job posting yesterday and was successfully hired today.

Sunday's customer traffic is significantly less than Monday through Friday, but with the airing of the TV series "The Temptation to Go Home," the scene of the male and female leads having a sweet date and sharing a cup of milk tea has successfully brought the milk tea shop into the public eye.

Even when No. 16 Middle School is closed on weekends, customers still come from far and wide to try the food.

The internet is not yet fully developed, otherwise this store would have become a popular spot for many people to visit.

The gaze that had been fixed on the outside of the store was drawn back by a single remark from the new employee.

Liu Changcun looked at the girl beside him, who had an ordinary appearance, and sized her up with her youthful yet somewhat mature look.

Her name is Sun Yun, and she is a very hardworking child.

Coming to his senses, Liu Changcun smiled and asked in return.

"What, you want to introduce me to someone?"

After pausing for a moment after saying this, he immediately added.

"If that's the case, then forget it. My eldest child is already in the third year of junior high school."

"The boss has a child? That's a pity. I was thinking of introducing my sister to you."

"Instead of trying to take advantage of the boss on your first day at work, you should have gone and asked a senior employee for advice on the production process."

Putting on a serious expression, Liu Changcun didn't want to get too close to the newly recruited Sun Yun.

It was clear that the new employee named Sun Yun was a lively person, and Liu Changcun, now the boss, did not want to give her the impression that he was easy to talk to.

If someone dares to try to get close to you and ask these kinds of questions on their first day of work, they might become careless and inattentive at work over time.

Liu Changcun suppressed his smile and looked at the other person seriously.

"Get familiar with the place more. School starts tomorrow and you'll be very busy. Focus on your work and don't ask about trivial matters."

Sun Yun was genuinely startled by the sudden stern expression on her face, and she immediately became obedient, having originally intended to get closer to her boss.

After responding a few times, he hurriedly walked towards the workbench.

Looking at Ning Mengyao beside him, who was silent and just fiddling with the ice cream machine.

Perhaps it was because the boss was too serious that this senior colleague didn't say much all day.

With this in mind, Sun Yun dared not joke or play around, and quickly followed Ning Mengyao to familiarize herself with the daily procedures of the store.

Seeing that the other party was serious, Liu Changcun also withdrew his gaze.

He looked up at the outside of the store, and after a long while, he took out his phone and started browsing aimlessly.

I found my inbox and looked at the messages that hadn't arrived as usual today...

Staring blankly at the screen, he didn't know how long it had been before calmly putting his phone away.

I left the rest area and got up to walk outside the store.

Stepping onto the steps before entering the store, I looked up slightly at the azure sky above.

"..."

"elder sister?"

Ning Mengyao only looked away when the new employee kept calling her.

She turned around and softly explained the steps involved in making milk tea.
