This time, Lu Nanxin turned her gaze to Zhou Shen, adopting a seemingly gentle tone, âPresident Zhou, itâs just you and me left.â
âMiss Lu, we arenât that familiar, so thereâs no need for such ambiguous words,â Zhou Shen replied with no intention of giving in.
It was an indisputable fact that Zhou Shen liked Yu Anwan. However, Zhou Shen knew Yu Anwanâs temper. If he married Yu Anwan, he would probably have to worship a Buddha. Coupled with Yu Anwanâs relationship with Wen Jin and Zhou Yanghengâs warning, Zhou Shen was not stupid enough to find trouble for himself.
However, this didnât mean Zhou Shen was foolish enough to be manipulated.
Zhou Shen was well aware of Lu Nanxinâs intentions.
Looking to rope him in? Perhaps in the next lifetime!
Lu Nanxin felt somewhat embarrassed and stammered, âPresident Zhou, youâŠâ
âIf you have something to say, just say it directly. Thereâs no need to be so flirtatious. Iâm not buying into thatâ Zhou Shen quipped with raised eyebrows.
Lu Nanxin had never experienced such humiliation before. Thanks to her association with Wen Jin, the people of Jiang City treated her with respect.
Except for Zhou Shen, who showcased his contempt and discourtesy quite openly.
Nevertheless, Lu Nanxin chose not to dwell on it. At least, in this situation, she wouldnât engage in a battle of wits with Zhou Shen.
Composing herself, she spoke in a measured tone, âPresident Zhou, canât you see whatâs happening right now?â
âYou mean Yu Anwan and Wen Jin?â Zhou Shenâs voice was teasing yet straightforward.
After a brief silence, Lu Nanxin didnât continue speaking, as if she couldnât decipher Zhou Shenâs thoughts.
Zhou Shen looked brainless, but when you communicated with him, he knew exactly where his bottom line was. This made Lu Nanxin feel extremely passive.
Before Lu Nanxin could say anything, Zhou Shenâs voice dripped with mockery, âMiss Lu, if you canât even keep an eye on your own man and still expect others to help, youâll lose.â
Lu Nanxin, who was bound to lose, said, âYouâŠâ
âI know Yu Anwan better than you do. When compared to her, youâre barely even a contender,â Zhou Shen grinned mischievously. âSheâs raising a child on her own, and sheâs even borne Wen Jinâs child. How can you compete with Yu Anwan? If she were willing, do you believe that Wen Jin would kneel and propose right then and there?â
While speaking, Zhou Shen dramatically gestured, âWell then, you might as well surrender!â
Lu Nanxinâs complexion oscillated between red and white at Zhou Shenâs words.
She was still looking for collaboration with Zhou Shen and was trying to provoke Zhou Shen and Yu Anwan. In the end, she did not expect Zhou Shen to scold her before she could even say a word.
Lu Nanxin took a deep breath. She didnât know if it was because she couldnât keep her face or because she was scared by Zhou Shenâs words.
Without further contemplation, she rose from her seat, âIâm sorry, President Zhou, for taking up your time.â
âOh, catching an affair. Good luck!â Zhou Shen even struck a cheering pose.
Lu Nanxin was left momentarily speechless by Zhou Shenâs words. He then proceeded to ignore her completely, indulging himself in his meal.
What a joke. How many people could take advantage of Wen Jin? It would be a waste not to take advantage of him.
At the same time, before Yu Anwan could reach the corner, she felt a strong force on her wrist.
Yu Anwan frowned. She didnât even need to turn around to know that it was Wen Jin.
âPresident Wen, are you planning to visit the menâs restroom or the womenâs this time?â Yu Anwan asked directly, her expression cold. Wen Jin simply responded with an affirmative âHmm? You decide.â
Yu Anwan, who was forced to choose, was speechless.
She glared at Wen Jin and wanted to shake his hand off, but Wen Jin held her hand tightly. This time, Yu Anwan angrily brought Wen Jin to the fire escape stairs. At least no one would notice.
Throughout this, Wen Jin remained silent, leaning against the wall.
Only then did Yu Anwan notice that Wen Jinâs forehead was drenched in sweat and he looked uncomfortable.
âYou deserve it!â Yu Anwan couldnât resist mocking Wen Jin.
Wen Jinâs affirmation seemed to say, âFine.â He lowered his gaze to Yu Anwan. Though he appeared uncomfortable, his commanding aura remained unaltered, regardless of the time and place.
âWhat do you want?â Yu Anwanâs tone was neither friendly nor hostile. âIâm leaving.â
âDonât go,â Wen Jinâs voice was naturally magnetic, with a tinge of weariness. He still held onto Yu Anwanâs wrist.
Yu Anwan stared back at Wen Jin and stated plainly, âPresident Wen, our bet doesnât start until tomorrow.â
The implication was that she wasnât obligated to play along with Wen Jinâs charade today.
Wen Jin didnât seem to mind Yu Anwanâs demeanor. âMy stomach isnât feeling well. â
Yu Anwan couldnât help but chuckle, âIf youâre not feeling well, President Wen, you should see a doctor.â
âArenât you a doctor?â Wen Jinâs voice remained calm.
Yu Anwan was rebuked, but she quickly came back to her senses. âI wonât treat you.â
However, Wen Jinâs grip on her hand remained steady, his fingers intertwining naturally with hers. Despite her efforts, Yu Anwan found herself unable to break free.
Wen Jinâs voice was faint, âYou can treat Zhanyan, but you canât treat me?â
Wen Jin arched an eyebrow, stating directly, âI am your man.â
âPresident Wen is Miss Luâs man, not mine!â Yu Anwan adamantly denied it.
This time, Wen Jinâs gaze narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flickering as he looked at Yu Anwan. Subconsciously, Yu Anwan took a step back under his intense stare, a primitive sense of fear creeping in.
However, Wen Jin had no intention of letting Yu Anwan go. His tall figure had already pressed Yu Anwan into his arms.
He looked down from above and leaned his slender arms against the wall, pulling Yu Anwan into his embrace.
âWhat are you doing, Wen Jin?â Yu Anwan stiffened.
âDo I need to prove that I am your man?â Wen Jin questioned directly.
Yu Anwanâs posture became increasingly defensive as she countered, âAt best, Iâd call you a reluctant spouse before the divorce, and afterward, weâre just friends with benefits.
In any case, she couldnât afford to lose in terms of her demeanor.
Wen Jin looked at Yu Anwan calmly. âFriends with benefits?â
âWhat else? President Wen, where did you put Miss Lu?â Yu Anwan asked.
Wen Jin did not answer.
Yu Anwan saw that Wen Jin didnât say anything and instinctively thought that this person was guilty, so she also became arrogant. âSo, President Wen, keep your words to yourself and donât spout nonsense.â
Wen Jin didnât get angry at Yu Anwanâs words. He just lowered his head and looked at Yu Anwan. His voice was low and magnetic, and he was practically right next to Yu Anwanâs ear as his thin lips brushed past her.
With a hint of bewitchment, his other hand had already grabbed Yu Anwanâs waist.
Yu Anwan squirmed uncomfortably.
The more she moved, the tighter Wen Jinâs grip became.
Yu Anwan heard Wen Jinâs unhurried voice close to her ear, âYu Anwan, given your current stance, do you think you can prevent me from marrying Nanxin and gaining custody of Zhanyan?â
His words implied that he wanted Yu Anwan to appease him..
