In Jiang Chen's eyes, Jin Chuwan was merely a foil who grew up by his side. Although they grew up together, his impression of her remained vague. She was cold, gloomy, rarely smiled, and seldom...
Chapter 13, Section 137: If 2: Who is the main wife depends on who comes first...
Almost the instant Li Xing'en finished speaking, Jiang Chen chuckled.
Are you talking in your sleep?
What do you mean, they bring him along on their dates? Are there really people in this world who are this shameless?
"Even if we take a step back and assume that Wanwan said something that made you misunderstand because she was drunk, you still went public without discussing it with her. Aren't you wrong?"
Jiang Chen, standing high above, spoke without the slightest bit of politeness.
"Since both sides were at fault, and Wanwan has apologized, you should handle the rest yourself. If there's a misunderstanding, explain; if there are rumors, clarify. It's a simple matter, don't pretend to be troubled."
Li Xing'en sat quietly, his gaze fixed on Jin Chuwan, but he also heard every word Jiang Chen said.
It would be difficult... of course not.
As the president of the Li Group, to whom should he explain his personal privacy?
Besides, he's just a businessman, not a big star on stage, and he needs to pay attention to his public image at all times.
But if that's the case, would Kim Cho-wan still care about him?
Li Xing'en glanced at Jiang Chen out of the corner of his eye and suddenly felt that he didn't seem to have much of a brain either. He wasted his breath on something so obvious.
He will not let them get away with it so easily, no matter what.
Absolutely not.
The young man's eyelashes drooped, and his smooth face appeared faintly pale in the lamplight, but he still smiled.
"If this is also what my aunt wants, then I will do as she says."
Jiang Chen's breath hitched, and he subconsciously tensed his jaw.
Jin Chuwan had been keeping a low profile and apologizing because she was worried that she would hurt Li Xing'en. Now that the ball was in her court again, she remained silent for a while before finally deciding to take responsibility.
"How about... we leave it at that for now? This is ultimately our private matter. We can explain if anything happens later. It's good that we've talked it out..."
Having been able to explain things clearly, Kim Cho-wan has felt much relieved, although the current situation is indeed quite unfair to Lee Sung-eun.
But Jiang Chen clearly didn't think so.
Li Xingen is not that honest and obedient at all, and Jin Chuwan, she is too biased and gullible towards him.
They are clearly lovers!
Having finished discussing everything they needed to, Jin Chuwan glanced at the time; it was already past midnight.
She glanced again at the two who showed no sign of leaving.
"It's late, I want to rest."
After Jin Chuwan finished speaking, Li Xing'en nodded. He looked up at Jin Chuwan and smiled, "You should go to sleep. But I think I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"
Jin Chuwan glanced at the kitchen subconsciously, but when Li Xing'en actually stood up and walked over, she froze.
No, he went to the kitchen... then how is she supposed to sleep?
Jiang Chen glanced at Li Xing'en, then looked down at Jin Chuwan, who was still acting foolishly.
If it weren't for him, she doesn't know how badly that guy would have played her.
Jiang Chen took out his phone from his coat, sent a text message, and then sat back down on the sofa.
"I'm hungry too, could you please cook me some as well, Mr. Li?"
A moment later, Li Xing'en's voice came from the kitchen.
"What do you want to eat? I don't see many options in the fridge..."
Seeing his hardworking and uncomplaining attitude, Jiang Chen didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Just do whatever you have. Anyway, you're a good cook."
Jin Chuwan frowned and pinched Jiang Chen's leg.
What do you mean?
Jiang Chen winced in pain from being pinched. He stared at Jin Chuwan for a while before enduring it and speaking.
“What could it mean… If he doesn’t leave, I won’t leave either.”
As Jiang Chen spoke, he slightly shifted his gaze. He was increasingly sensing Jin Chuwan's favoritism. Li Xingen was clearly the culprit, yet he was the one being questioned.
Jin Chuwan lowered her head and sighed. So many things had happened that day; she was truly exhausted.
"Alright, do as you please. Anyway, I don't have a place for you to stay at my house. I need to rest now. You can go home after you finish eating."
After Jin Chuwan finished speaking, she got up and went into the bedroom. Her wardrobe was still open, and the clothes inside were scattered in a mess. This subconsciously reminded her of that vengeful kiss, and when Li Xing'en hugged her outside the bedroom...
She held her head and sighed for a while, then simply buried herself in the blankets.
Jin Chuwan originally wanted to take a shower to relax before going to bed, but now she just wants to hide away and cut herself off from everything outside.
Li Xingen was still busy in the kitchen. Jiang Chen saw him bring out a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, a bowl of fried rice with sesame seeds, and a bowl of mushroom, shredded chicken and vegetable porridge.
He inexplicably had the illusion that he was being outdone.
"Where's your aunt?"
Hearing his question, Jiang Chen patiently pointed to the bedroom.
"She said she was tired, so she should be asleep by now."
Jiang Chen glanced at the table. The food looked so-so, but it smelled pretty good. He was about to choose the fried rice when, before he could even reach for it, Li Xing'en picked up the bowl and placed it on the tray. Next came the tomato and egg noodles, and then the chicken and vegetable porridge.
Li Xing'en seemed to ignore Jiang Chen, picked up the tray and went to knock on Jin Chuwan's door.
He asked twice but received no response, so he simply pushed the door open and went inside.
Jiang Chen stood up, unable to bear it any longer. But when he followed her inside, he saw Jin Chuwan, who was still half asleep, being woken up by Li Xing'en for dinner.
She frowned, somewhat reluctant, but seemed unable to resist the temptation of the food. Her eyes scanned back and forth on the tray before finally picking out the tomato noodles.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but press his temples. Although Li Xing'en was disgusting, she seemed to be somewhat useful.
At least when it comes to controlling Jin Chu, he's better than anyone else.
But he was really dishonest. Even when she was being watched, he would squat by her bedside and put on a kind and understanding look to seduce Jin Chuwan into smiling at him.
Jiang Chen coughed at the opportune moment.
He was reminding Li Xing'en to get out of there as soon as possible.
But Li Xing'en ignored her completely. Instead, Jin Chuwan, who was holding the bowl, froze for a moment. When she saw it was him, she immediately looked at Li Xing'en nervously, looking like she had been caught cheating.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt a little tired.
He leaned weakly against the door, loosened his tie, and his dark eyes were deep and melancholy.
It seems some people never intended to leave in the first place. In that case, I'll just keep them company.
