Yu Anwan did not want to provoke Lu Nanxin at this time, as it wouldn’t benefit her much.
With this thought in mind, Yu Anwan gradually calmed down.
Lu Nanxin had already glanced over.
“Miss Lu, President Wen asked me to deliver this medicine to him.” Shen Bin suddenly appeared, blocking Lu Nanxin’s path.
This effectively obstructed Lu Nanxin’s approach to Wen Jin, not to mention that Lu Nanxin could now see Yu Anwan.
Yu Anwan was momentarily surprised, as she didn’t expect Shen Bin to suddenly intervene.
The man holding her hand suddenly lowered his head, looking at Yu Anwan with a teasing smile.
“What are you doing?” Yu Anwan warily inquired of Wen Jin.
Wen Jin didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on Yu Anwan. She was taken aback, widening her eyes. She thought Wen Jin was being too audacious.
Was he having an affair right under Lu Nanxin’s nose?
“Yu Anwan, do you think I’m foolish enough to create problems for myself?” Wen Jin raised an eyebrow and countered.
Yu Anwan was briefly stunned, then suddenly realized.
Shen Bin’s presence wasn’t a coincidence; it was premeditated. He had been stationed here to prevent Lu Nanxin from causing trouble for Wen Jin.
No wonder Wen Jin was acting so unrestrainedly.
A scumbag was indeed a scumbag.
Yu Anwan had almost believed Wen Jin’s affectionate act, considering how ruthless he had been.
Shen Bin’s words left Lu Nanxin bewildered, and she grew anxious. “What’s happened to him?”
“He’s not feeling well. It’s an old issue. You don’t need to worry,” Shen Bin reassured her. “Otherwise, shall I take you to the private room to find President Wen?”
“But…” Lu Nanxin hesitated to speak further.
Shen Bin had already led Lu Nanxin toward the private room, completely cutting off the possibility of her coming over.
Yu Anwan watched with an impassive expression.
Wen Jin still held Yu Anwan’s hand as they walked towards the private room as if nothing had happened.
As they reached the private room’s door, Yu Anwan suddenly glanced at Wen Jin.
“Do you want me to take you inside?” Wen Jin smiled faintly.
His words hit the mark.
Yu Anwan, whose thoughts had been figured out, was rendered speechless.
Yu Anwan hadn’t thought that way. She just wanted to see how far Wen Jin would go. She couldn’t deny that Wen Jin’s casual words on the fire escape had made her feel like a stone tossed into a calm lake. Though it didn’t cause a violent storm, it was impossible for her to not react at all.
This man had never slept with Lu Nanxin, and he had never cooked for her.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Yu Anwan was enjoying the moment.
However, Yu Anwan was still stubborn.
As she finished speaking, she pulled her hand away and pushed open the door to the private room. Wen Jin remained where he was and didn’t follow.
Yu Anwan knew very well that Wen Jin could have brought her in at any time and place, but he didn’t.
This meant that Wen Jin didn’t want to do that at all because he never wanted to embarrass Lu Nanxin. Lu Nanxin was the one Wen Jin would protect no matter when or where.
Thinking of this, Yu Anwan lowered her head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.
However, once inside the private room, Yu Anwan acted as if nothing had happened.
“You’re back?” Zhou Shen looked at Yu Anwan with a half-smile, as if he knew what she had done. “What a coincidence. After you left, President Wen also left and hasn’t returned yet. Have you seen President Wen?”
“Oh, we chatted outside the restroom,” Yu Anwan replied openly.
Zhou Shen nodded and spoke as if there was no one else around. “It seems that
President Wen and you are destined. Miss Lu went out to look for President
Wen for a long time but couldn’t find him. Instead, she found Assistant Shen.” “Haha,” Yu Anwan gave a fake smile. “That’s quite an honor.”
The two of them bantered back and forth, making it seem as though Lu Nanxin was the only one who didn’t know where Wen Jin was.
Especially when Zhou Shen added teasingly to Lu Nanxin, “Miss Lu, you really should keep a close eye on President Wen. His status here is quite high, and it would be troublesome if you can’t even locate him.”
Lu Nanxin’s face turned extremely unpleasant.
However, when facing Zhou Shen, Lu Nanxin could only force a smile and say, “No, Wen Jin loves me very much and would never do anything to betray my trust.”
Zhou Shen casually remarked, “This flower garden doesn’t have the fragrance of wildflowers, does it?”
Lu Nanxin seethed with anger.
Meanwhile, Shen Bin, standing nearby, was trembling with anxiety.
As Wen Jin’s assistant, Shen Bin was well aware of Lu Nanxin’s temperament. So when Yu Anwan called Wen Jin’s phone, Shen Bin immediately understood the situation. He swiftly purchased the medicine and rushed to the restaurant.
His mission was to prevent Lu Nanxin from losing her temper and avoid any exposure to Wen Jin’s matters.
However, Shen Bin could never have anticipated the presence of someone like Zhou Shen, who proved to be quite a hindrance in the situation.
It felt like they were in another dimension!
Every word and sentence uttered by Zhou Shen struck directly at Lu Nanxin’s heart. It was a relentless verbal assault.
Yet, Yu Anwan remained seemingly unperturbed, watching the drama unfold with a calm demeanor.
Shen Bin was on the verge of tears. What kind of predicament was this?
Being an assistant was already challenging, but being Wen Jin’s assistant was on another level.
To get dragged into the boss’s personal affairs like this was beyond imagination.
Just as Shen Bin was fervently praying for Wen Jin’s timely appearance, the tall figure of Wen Jin entered the room, pushing the door open. Shen Bin breathed a sigh of relief and promptly approached him. “President Wen, here’s your medicine.”
Wen Jin nodded.
Lu Nanxin furrowed her brows and quickly moved closer. “Jin, why didn’t you mention that you weren’t feeling well?”
“It’s nothing to worry about,” Wen Jin smiled and reassured Lu Nanxin.
But Lu Nanxin remained concerned.
However, Wen Jin calmly suggested, “Coincidentally, Shen Bin is here. I’ll ask him to take you back, and then I’ll go to the hospital.”
“I’ll go with you,” Lu Nanxin replied without hesitation.
“No need. Hospitals have been dealing with a lot of viruses lately, and your health isn’t great,” Wen Jin stated naturally.
As he finished speaking, Wen Jin gently tucked a strand of hair on Lu Nanxin’s face behind her ear, gazing at her with affectionate eyes.
Yu Anwan observed Wen Jin with an emotionless expression.
She couldn’t help but think that Wen Jin might develop a split personality sooner or later.
Seeing Lu Nanxin’s relieved demeanor, her previously tense heart finally relaxed. She was quickly comforted by Wen Jin. Shen Bin immediately intervened, “Miss Lu, I’ll escort you back.”
Lu Nanxin initially wanted to accompany Wen Jin, but given the circumstances, she knew better than to go against his wishes.
Observing the situation, Zhou Shen extended his hand and draped his arm around Yu Anwan’s shoulder. “Let’s go. We’ve had our fill of food and wine. This is the perfect time to catch a movie.”
He left gracefully.
Yu Anwan complied and followed Zhou Shen out.
Wen Jin’s gaze remained fixed on the two of them without wavering.
However, he maintained a composed exterior, revealing no emotions as he watched Zhou Shen and Yu Anwan exit..
