The next day, after getting up, Shen Linxuan went to the bathroom to tidy himself up. After he was done, he left the room and went downstairs.

As a result, I saw Mrs. Shen sitting in the living room, with a little sadness on her face and sighing from time to time.

However, the state of the head of the Shen family was completely different from hers. He was drinking tea and playing chess with the housekeeper in a corner of the living room, with a relaxed and happy look on his face.

After seeing Shen Linxuan coming down from upstairs, Mrs. Shen immediately stood up and walked towards her son. The sadness on her face turned into concern, and she asked lovingly and gently: "Xiaoxuan, you're up. Does your head hurt? Why did you drink so much last night?"

"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore. I got together with He Yichuan, Fang Junjie and the others last night and accidentally drank too much. Don't worry about me."

Shen Linxuan was wearing a black suit, his posture was particularly tall and straight, and he looked like a noble gentleman.

Afterwards, he looked towards the head of the Shen family, greeted his father, and walked towards the restaurant. He drank too much last night and now felt a little uncomfortable with an empty stomach.

Unlike the past, Mrs. Shen walked up to him and talked to him from time to time.

"I asked the kitchen to cook millet porridge for you. Eat something hot. It's good for your health."

Mrs. Shen had the millet porridge brought out, then sat down on the chair next to him, scooped a bowl for him and placed it in front of her son.

"Thank you, Mom. Would you like some more?"

Normally, Mrs. Shen would have already eaten at this point, but when Shen Linxuan saw his mother here, he asked.

"Mom has eaten, you should eat more."

Mrs. Shen shook her head gracefully, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes when she looked at Shen Linxuan. However, Shen Linxuan did not notice his mother's hesitation at all. He took the porcelain bowl and started eating, occasionally asking his mother about his eldest brother's situation.

Then Mrs. Shen was worried that he was going too far. Seeing that he was almost finished eating, she decided to ask, "Xiaoxuan, are you hiding something from us? You don't like girls but like boys, right? You don't have to hide it from your mother. I'm very open-minded. Tell me the truth today."

Shen Linxuan was about to finish his last mouthful of millet porridge when he was suddenly asked by his mother. He was so shocked that he choked and coughed several times. His face flushed and he said helplessly, "Mom, what are you talking about? You almost scared me to death. How can you tell that I like men? I'm not that trendy. If you're bored, go shopping and buy clothes."

Mrs. Shen was also frightened by her son's movement. She didn't expect him to choke. She gave him several napkins and asked him to wipe his mouth.

"It's you, kid. You don't even want to date. The apartment sent someone to take care of you, but you didn't give them to me. You're busy with work all day long, and I haven't heard anything about you. How can I not be anxious? Your brother has even gone to meet your parents-in-law because of your situation. What's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Shen's gentle expression disappeared, replaced by an anxious look, and she looked at him with a look of disappointment.

"Mom, you are not the one who is in a hurry. I have my own arrangements. Just relax. I will bring you a daughter-in-law in the future. Don't guess here. You almost scared me. I promise that my daughter-in-law will make you very satisfied. Is that ok?"

Shen Linxuan was also helpless and spoke out to comfort his mother. This was beyond his mother's imagination. If he didn't tell her something, she would get really anxious.

"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you? Do you have a target already? Or something? Tell me, kid, or I'll be really worried."

When Mrs. Shen heard his words, her face instantly became delighted, and she spoke out excitedly, eager to know what was going on, as long as he was not lying to her.

"Mom, I promise I won't lie to you. I'm working on it. I'll tell you when it's done. Don't think too much about it."

Shen Linxuan put the white porcelain bowl on the dining table aside, casually picked up a piece of fruit and started eating, and said calmly.

"That's fine. Mom won't ask you any more questions. By the way, do you know what's going on with Pan Xiaowen? I feel like she's been particularly enthusiastic towards me recently. Not long ago, she even wanted to invite me out for afternoon tea, but I refused. Xiaoxuan, she's not the one you want to pursue, is she?"

Mrs. Shen had just felt relieved when she recalled what happened before. Her heart was lifted again. Pan Xiaowen had wanted to marry into the He family before, and everyone in the circle knew about it. She had such a good relationship with Mrs. He, and it would be really embarrassing if she was really with Shen Linxuan.

Besides, she is a very utilitarian person, so she doesn't like him very much. She just wants to find a well-behaved and lovely daughter-in-law. She will be satisfied as long as the couple has a stable relationship and loves each other. She doesn't care so much about her family background. After all, their family is rich and powerful enough, as long as her son likes her, it's fine.

Look at the He family, isn’t it the same? No one has ever heard much about the background of He Yichuan’s wife, but the two have a good relationship, and Su Xi is capable. The two have complementary personalities, how happy they are.

"Pan Xiaowen? I have no contact with her. Don't worry about her. I don't know what the Pan family is planning. If she invites you, just turn her down, so that your daughter-in-law won't get jealous."

After hearing what Mrs. Shen said, Shen Linxuan frowned slightly, and then explained to his mother that they were all in the same circle, and he should not accept other people's invitations casually, otherwise it would be troublesome if he could not explain it clearly.

"Okay, Mom knows. I didn't go either. There are many families in the circle who are eyeing you. Since you have someone you like, if anyone tries to get close to me later, Mom will help you reject them. Don't worry."

After Mrs. Shen asked Shen Linxuan clearly, she felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally. She had been thinking about this matter the whole night and did not sleep well. Now she can finally relax.

"Well, not so fast, please wait."

"Whose girl is this? Do I know her? Do you need my help?"

After hearing his last sentence, Mrs. Shen became curious again and asked gently and kindly, trying to get more information from him.

Shen Linxuan was extremely alert about pursuing An An. He glanced at his mother with slightly deep eyes, then pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
