Zhou Shen remained silent. He felt an extra surge of jealousy when faced with his love rival, Wen Jin. Coupled with the fact that his funding was cut off and he was confined due to Wen Jin’s actions, Zhou Shen was seething with anger.
Why would he even bother acknowledging Wen Jin?
“The reservation was canceled?” Wen Jin stood there with a smirk, his hands casually in his pockets, and inquired.
Wherever Zhou Shen was displeased, Wen Jin seemed to be there to stab him.
As expected, Zhou Shen’s expression changed. He suffered a great blow to his ego. With a mix of existing grudges, Zhou Shen was ready to confront Wen Jin without a second thought.
Yu Anwan swiftly held back Zhou Shen before he could react, but even before she could speak, Wen Jin arched an eyebrow, observing Zhou Shen. His tone was dripping with provocation.
“If President Zhou doesn’t mind, you can join me in a private room. There’s an available seat.” Wen Jin casually extended an invitation.
His expression seemed to challenge Zhou Shen, indicating that anyone who didn’t stay was a coward.
Zhou Shen’s irritation was palpable.
Yu Anwan furrowed her brows for a moment, subconsciously holding Zhou Shen’s hand. She couldn’t believe Zhou Shen would act so abnormally.
Wen Jin was practically handing him a knife, and Zhou Shen still wanted to approach him, ready to be stabbed.
Yu Anwan had overestimated Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen snorted. “Sure, President Wen invited me. If I don’t go, won’t I be giving you face?” His tone was dripping with arrogance.
Yu Anwan rolled her eyes inwardly and was speechless.
What were Zhou Shen and Wen Jin playing? With a mere flick of his finger, Wen Jin could have easily outplayed Zhou Shen.
As soon as the words left Zhou Shen’s mouth, Lu Nanxin also felt uncomfortable. Lu Nanxin was happy that Wen Jin had invited her for a meal, but she never expected Yu Anwan to show up.
“President Zhou, please,” Wen Jin said politely.
Right in front of Wen Jin, Zhou Shen wrapped his arm around Yu Anwan’s waist and confidently led her toward the dining area.
Yu Anwan fell momentarily silent. She didn’t protest. She simply looked at Zhou Shen.
Zhou Shen noticed Yu Anwan’s gaze on him and suddenly lowered his head to whisper into her ear, “I’ve got your back. Shouldn’t you smile at me?”
“What?” Yu Anwan raised an eyebrow lazily.
“Your ex-husband doesn’t seem like a good person, and the woman standing beside him is a schemer.” Zhou Shen glared at Yu Anwan and playfully pinched her cheek.
Yu Anwan laughed in exasperation and directly swatted Zhou Shen’s hand away. “Zhou Shen, are you using this as an opportunity for revenge against
“Hmph, you got lucky this time. I didn’t even take any money from your pocket,” Zhou Shen retorted with a smug tone. “I want to make your ex-husband suffer a loss as well!”
Yu Anwan responded with a soft “Oh”…
What a naive thought. Even if Wen Jin bought this place, he wouldn’t lose a single hair, let alone a meal.
However, Yu Anwan’s reason for not refusing wasn’t about playing a childish game with Zhou Shen.
It was…
Seeing Lu Nanxin’s displeasure, Yu Anwan was secretly pleased.
This time, Yu Anwan was willingly leaning against Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen noticed this, and in response, he hugged her. The two of them couldn’t have been more intimate.
Wen Jin’s expression slightly darkened as he observed their hushed conversation. However, he maintained his composure on the surface.
On the other hand, Lu Nanxin smiled and tried to lighten the atmosphere. “President Zhou and Miss Yu seem to get along well.”
Yu Anwan responded with a subtle smile but didn’t say a word, walking over to Zhou Shen.
Lu Nanxin was feeling a bit embarrassed. Instinctively, she held Wen Jin’s hand and looked up at him, asking again, “Jin, don’t you think so?”
Wen Jin chuckled softly but didn’t reply. He calmly walked into the restaurant.
Wen Jin’s reaction made Lu Nanxin’s expression even more complicated. However, she managed to keep her composure.
Nevertheless, Lu Nanxin gazed at Wen Jin with a hint of frustration. “Jin, I don’t like it when outsiders interfere with our meal.”
Wen Jin lowered his head to meet Lu Nanxin’s eyes and calmly explained, “The Zhou family and the Wen family have always had a partnership. Zhou Shen is in Jiang City, and we’ve met before. We can’t ignore him. After all, Zhou Shen is Zhou Yanheng’s only son and the heir of the Zhou family. If you don’t want to stay, I’ll have the driver take you back. We can go out for dinner another day.” Wen Jin’s message was clear.
Lu Nanxin’s frustration subsided upon hearing Wen Jin’s words. She looked at him with a hint of sadness and apologized, “I’m sorry… I…” Her voice quivered as if she were about to cry again. “Jin, I love you so much. With Yu Anwan here,
I’m worried something might happen.”
“What are you afraid of?” Wen Jin’s gaze remained fixed on Lu Nanxin.
Lu Nanxin bit her lip and fell silent.
Wen Jin smiled gently and reached out to caress Lu Nanxin’s cheek. “The news of our marriage has already been announced. What is there to worry about?”
Lu Nanxin’s expression softened at the mention of marriage.
Her tone also became more tender as she spoke, “Do we have to wait for Grandpa to come back?”
“That’s what Grandpa wants,” Wen Jin replied in a calm tone.
Lu Nanxin fell silent.
Lu Nanxin was naturally unhappy about this change, but in front of Wen Zhanming, she dared not make a fuss.
“Shall we go inside?” Wen Jin redirected the conversation.
Lu Nanxin responded with an acknowledgment, and the two of them proceeded toward the dining room.
Wen Jin was well aware that his gaze had been fixed on Yu Anwan and Zhou Shen the entire time. Observing their intimate interactions, Wen Jin’s lowered brows and eyes concealed deeper thoughts.
Inside the private room, the atmosphere appeared somewhat peculiar.
Zhou Shen had chosen some of the most expensive dishes, which surprised the waiter. However, Zhou Shen acted as casually as ever, thoroughly enjoying his meal.
Wen Jin merely cast a glance at the order, without making any comments. Zhou Shen responded to Wen Jin’s gaze with a playful tone. “President Wen, you seem quite concerned.”
Wen Jin’s smile held a hint of mischief. “President Zhou, feel free.” His grin took on a roguish quality. “Money is not an issue. Is everything President Zhou ordered to Miss Yu’s liking?”
Seeing the table full of seafood, Wen Jin couldn’t help but chuckle.
Yu Anwan couldn’t handle such dishes, but if she started acting fussy, it would be a nightmare. She wouldn’t even touch such a shelled creature if no one dealt with it properly for her.
During their time with the Wen family, Wen Jin had become well-acquainted with this fact.
Throughout their three years of marriage, Yu Anwan learned how to handle Wen Jin in the presence of Wen Zhanming’s influence. Due to Wen Zhanming’s pressure, Wen Jin often peeled prawns and crabs for Yu Anwan.
“Does President Wen know Wanwan’s preferences so well? Aren’t you concerned that Miss Lu might feel jealous?” Zhou Shen replied, his tone playful but insincere.
Lu Nanxin felt a wave of embarrassment.
Yet, when Zhou Shen refused to back down, his words were cutting.. “By the way, Miss Lu, didn’t President Wen say he’d register the marriage once you returned to Jiang City? Are you and President Wen already married?”
