Chapter 170 The Heiress is Sick
Back at the hotel, Wenxi gently pinched Shang Chen's ear.
"There seems to be something I forgot to ask."
Shang Chen's fingertips caressed her waist, while his lips landed lightly or heavily on Wen Xi's neck.
"Um?"
The man was focused on his work, his voice slightly deep and hoarse.
Just as Wenxi was about to ask what Shang Chen had hidden in the study last night, he picked her up.
Shang Chen said very seriously, "I need to take a shower first."
Wenxi: "..."
The showerhead was turned on, and water splashed, leaving streaks on the glass window.
By the time we finished, it was already midnight.
Wenxi stared at the two empty boxes and said meaningfully, "That's about enough."
Shang Chen stared at the box for a long time. Just as he was about to open the second box, Wen Xi pretended to be sleepy and turned around to yawn.
"I'm tired. I have to go back to the capital tomorrow."
Shang Chen: "...Hmm."
Wenxi pulled the blanket over herself and slowly closed her eyes.
Shang Chen has enjoyed the benefits of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so it's time for him to experience its suffering.
Wenxi was indeed a little tired.
Half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard the sound of water.
When there was any movement around, it was accompanied by a chill.
Wenxi murmured something, half-asleep.
"Shang Chen".
"Um."
The man's voice was slightly hoarse, and his tone of response was very patient.
Wenxi's heart softened instantly, and she called out again, "Husband?"
Shang Chen gently embraced her and asked in a deep voice, "Having a nightmare?"
Wenxi didn't say anything, but just quietly leaned against him and continued to 'sleep'.
If Shang Chen had proactively confessed about his 'obsessive-compulsive disorder,' he wouldn't be suffering like this today.
She wasn't going to feel sorry for him this time.
The next morning, Wenxi saw a message from her brother as soon as she turned on her phone.
[XiXi, do you understand why Shang Chen is dressed up so elaborately?]
Wenxi: "..."
His brother is becoming more and more childish.
They seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
Wenxi immediately called back: "Brother, you guessed it the moment I opened my mouth yesterday?"
Wen Zhou asked in a slow, deliberate tone, "What did you guess?"
Wenxi: "..."
Facing her own brother Wen Zhou, Wen Xi had no chance of winning: "I guessed I was jealous of you."
Wen Zhou calmly said, "Xi Xi, you would never have misunderstood this kind of thing before."
Wenxi: "I guess it's a case of being too concerned to think straight."
I didn't misunderstand before because I didn't care.
Now that I care, I've become less rational.
Wen Zhou: "You've fallen for Shang Chen?"
"It's not that I like it."
Wen Zhou: "What is that?"
"I really like it."
Caught off guard, Wen Zhou fell silent.
He said expressionlessly, "If you keep talking, I'll deduct points from Shang Chen's score."
Wenxi has been hanging out with Shang Chen for so long that she feels like she's changed.
Wenxi: "..."
Wen Zhou: "Alright, go ahead and enjoy your love with your Shen Shen."
Perhaps fearing that Wenxi would say something mushy again, Wenzhou hung up the phone very quickly this time.
Wenxi turned her head and saw Shang Chen coming in with a coat.
With a serious and composed expression, he slowly and deliberately draped a coat over Wenxi's shoulders.
"Xixi, I heard everything you just said."
Wenxi: "If I heard it, I heard it."
She reached out and hugged Shang Chen's slender waist, tilted her head slightly, and said frankly, "Haven't I said enough sweet words to coax you?"
Shang Chen: "Just to coax me?"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise what?"
Shang Chen thought for a moment, "Because he likes me."
Wenxi: "..."
Has Shang Chen evolved to the point where he can comfort himself?
After dinner, Shang Chen went to discuss a collaboration.
Wenxi packed her things, preparing to return to the capital.
I was only halfway through packing when I suddenly received a package, which was sent by Shang Ze.
Wenxi sent a message to Shang Chen.
Shang Chen replied after a while.
He didn't say what it was, could you please take it apart for me and put it on my desk?
Wenxi took the package into the study, only to remember the question she hadn't finished asking last night.
What exactly was Shang Chen hiding that night?
Wenxi had a question in mind, so she took a closer look when she put the package away.
After opening the package, Wenxi saw a thick stack of letter paper and envelopes.
Pink, sky blue, purple... a riot of colors piled together.
Wenxi picked up a pink letter and smelled it.
Pink.
Printed.
It also has a fragrance.
Why would Shang Ze send this to Shang Chen for no reason?!
Wenxi immediately thought of the help-seeking post Shang Chen had made.
Could it be that Shang Chen is really going to write her a love letter?
When Wenxi first saw the book on Shang Chen's desk that taught how to write love letters, she thought it was just a prank by Shang Ze.
But recalling Shang Chen's furtive and secretive actions the night before last, Wen Xi already knew the answer.
She didn't look through Shang Chen's files, but simply organized the love letters and envelopes sent by Shang Zeqianli.
As she was about to leave, Wenxi suddenly paused.
She picked up a pen and wrote a line on the first pink sheet of paper.
After finishing writing, I put the paper at the very bottom.
As expected, it will probably be until Shang Chen uses up all the stationery before we can see the words she left behind.
After finishing everything, Wenxi left in a pretty good mood.
As soon as Wenxi returned to Beijing, her aunt told her some news.
"Your daughter is ill."
Wenxi: "Did you take it to the vet?"
“I went to see a doctor last night and got some medicine. They said I need to rest well for the next few days.”
Wenxi nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie."
"I'm starting to think I'm going to get really busy lately."
The aunt asked softly, "Madam, is it because of what happened online?"
Wenxi was somewhat surprised: "Auntie heard about it too?"
The aunt said indignantly, "I saw it on the video. That lawyer who spread rumors is so heartless!"
"The wife is so outstanding, and the husband is tall and handsome... although he is a bit old-fashioned and serious."
Just then, Shang Chen pushed the door open and came in, and heard those words.
He stood at the door, quietly watching his aunt, his expression dignified and imposing.
The aunt quickly said, "Madam, let me help you tidy up your clothes first."
Wen Xi glanced at Shang Chen: "Auntie is praising you, don't be so serious."
Shang Chen took two steps forward and took Wen Xi's hand. "Don't be serious."
After taking a couple of steps, he asked, "What did Auntie praise me for?"
"I'm praising you for being serious and old-fashioned."
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi has become increasingly mischievous lately.
Seeing that he remained silent, Wenxi scratched his palm with her fingertips and said without changing her expression, "Auntie is praising you for being tall and handsome."
"It's a pity you came in too early, otherwise you might have heard Auntie praising you for being rich, charming, mature, and understanding..."
Shang Chen listened quietly.
These words couldn't have been said by the auntie as a compliment.
That's what Xixi really thinks.
