It was the weekend, and Shen Xiaoyan understood that the crowds were normal. She shook her head and wrote down her thoughts. Zheng Wei had wanted to take her to another mall before, but since she didn't want to shop anymore, it was fine to stay here.
As the two of them pushed their carts inside, a young couple squeezed past them. They looked young, like students. The tall, fair-skinned boy pushed his cart towards the petite girl and said, "You get in, I'll push you."
The girl giggled and didn't object. She sat in the cart, and the boy happily pushed her inside to shop.
Shen Xiaoyan just smiled knowingly at the scene, unable to help but sigh, "Youth is wonderful."
However, Zheng Wei didn't see it that way. He pushed one cart while holding Shen Xiaoyan's hand. Seeing her still smiling, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want me to push you too?"
Shen Xiaoyan blushed instantly at his words and shook her head. She couldn't do such a thing; she was too thin-skinned. She knew what it would be like just by imagining it.
Seeing Shen Xiaoyan shake her head, Zheng Wei seemed to have expected it. He grunted and said with a hint of wistfulness, "If I were ten years younger, I'd push you around the mall too."
Shen Xiaoyan was amused by his slightly petulant demeanor. She shook her head, but tightened her grip on Zheng Wei's hand.
"Did Mom give you the menu?" After entering, Shen Xiaoyan pulled Zheng Wei towards the vegetable section. Zheng Wei naturally shielded her from the crowd with his body, looking down and asking her in a protective manner.
Shen Xiaoyan shook her head. The two elders' minds were entirely on their precious grandchild, so they wouldn't have had the time to write a menu.
"Since they didn't, let's go by our own tastes." Zheng Wei knew Shen Xiaoyan's preferences and picked out only dishes she liked, completely forgetting about his parents.
Shen Xiaoyan barely had a chance to do anything; he took care of all the work. He was now very precise when choosing ingredients.
The mall was huge, and even the area at the far end seemed particularly noisy. The vegetable section wasn't any better. Shen Xiaoyan stood obediently beside Zheng Wei, but there were still many people moving behind her. Just then, the bracelet on her wrist suddenly came undone. The bracelet had been custom-made for her by Zheng Wei because it had a few rare pearls. After falling to the ground, it rolled quite a distance.
Shen Xiaoyan was about to move when a large hand pressed her down. He stood up and said reassuringly, "I'll pick it up. You stay here and just watch me. You're not allowed to go anywhere."
With so many people around, Zheng Wei had to bend down to retrieve the bracelet. He wouldn't dare let Shen Xiaoyan do such a thing, for fear she might be stepped on by accident.
But the pearls were a little far from Shen Xiaoyan. As Zheng Wei moved forward, Shen Xiaoyan, seeing the crowd, followed Zheng Wei with the cart behind him. At this moment, the noisy sound seemed to come from afar. The next second, before she could even react to what was happening, she heard a voice call out to her: "Mrs. Zheng?"
Shen Xiaoyan had excellent hearing now, and upon hearing "Mrs. Zheng," she recognized the voice with little effort.
It was Sen Mori, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Although she rarely paid attention to entertainment news, Shen Xiaoyan knew about Sen Mori's agency's downfall. She had also seen the news of Sen Mori blocking Zheng Wei with flowers that day.
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Shen Xiaoyan really didn't want to engage. So, she didn't even turn her head and slowly pushed the cart, trying to get closer to Zheng Wei.
But what she didn't expect was that the person arriving was not just Sen Mori. There was an entire film crew with her. This was why the mall was so lively today. Sen Mori had always maintained a high-profile, elegant image. Although she knew that participating in a show would increase her public recognition, she had always stuck to her elegant image. However, recently, with her agency in trouble and the bosses' anger directed at her, she hadn't had an easy time. For her future, she had accepted an offer for a variety show. To make the show more exciting, the crew hadn't dispersed the crowd and had chosen to film at this mall in the heart of the capital. She hadn't expected to run into Shen Xiaoyan here.
Sen Mori glanced around and, not seeing Zheng Wei near Shen Xiaoyan, felt a sense of relief for some reason.
The crew's cameras and director, upon hearing Sen Mori call out "Mrs. Zheng," all looked over curiously. The cameraman filming Sen Mori even asked, "Which Mrs. Zheng?"
"Young Master Zheng's wife, this Mrs. Zheng," Sen Mori said to the camera, her smile looking very happy and genuine. She pointed at the woman pushing the cart and said, "I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Zheng here. What a coincidence."
When the cameraman and director heard this, they instinctively thought Sen Mori had a good relationship with this Mrs. Zheng, and that this Mrs. Zheng looked approachable. Therefore, the camera immediately swung towards Shen Xiaoyan. This was an accidental encounter, not something they had deliberately sought out. Such explosive news would definitely bring a lot of attention to this episode of the show.
However, when Mrs. Zheng herself appeared, the camera crew's live streaming lens also focused on Shen Xiaoyan.
Shen Xiaoyan hadn't wanted to pay attention, but the camera was getting closer and closer. She disliked being pointed at by a lens, so she turned her head, her brows furrowed, and looked at the crew with a distant gaze.
"Hello everyone, I'm Sen Mori, and this is Young Master Zheng's wife, Mrs. Zheng. I'm so happy to have met Mrs. Zheng today. Mrs. Zheng, this is our show's live broadcast. Would you like to say hello to our viewers?" Sen Mori deliberately moved in front of the camera. After greeting, she stepped back slightly, giving Shen Xiaoyan more space.
Shen Xiaoyan carried an air of cool detachment, yet her overall state was excellent. She was also very slender, and her eyes appeared pure and clear.
Because of Sen Mori's introduction, the live chat started to flood with comments. Many people had even screenshotted Shen Xiaoyan's profile when she turned her head.
Shen Xiaoyan didn't particularly like the camera. After Sen Mori finished speaking, she didn't show any intention of greeting. Her emotions didn't change much, so even if she was unhappy, it wasn't apparent on her face. This made people feel that she was a bit distant or slow to react.
