Chapter 188 "My brother said he used to write love letters."
On her way back, Wenxi received a message from Wenzhou.
+10
+5
Two more red envelopes were sent.
Wenxi was slightly taken aback.
Shang Chen cooked such an excellent meal today, did that earn him fifteen points?
However, Wenzhou quickly sent an explanation.
【It's only because he arranged for people to protect you.】
Although Wenxi kicked Li Qiang away, Li Qiang was an adult man who was holding a knife, making him extremely dangerous.
It was the bodyguards who subdued him in time, preventing further accidents from happening.
Wenxi immediately replied to Wenzhou.
I thought you were going to blame him for not protecting him properly and deduct points from his record.
In your eyes, am I really such an unreasonable person?
Of course not! My brother is the most reasonable person in the world!
Wen Zhou was finally satisfied.
[The five points are to reward him for telling me immediately after the accident and for continuing to report the situation to me promptly and consistently.]
Wenxi didn't know much about this matter.
All she knew was that Shang Chen had contacted her brother after the incident, but she didn't expect that Shang Chen would continue to report the situation to her brother.
Wenxi herself hadn't even considered this.
Sure enough, Shang Chen earned all his points through his own hard work.
Wenxi received the red envelope and sent Wenzhou a smiley face.
Thank you, bro.
My brother is the most understanding!
Wen Zhou replied with a satisfied emoji.
Shang Chen grasped Wen Xi's hand and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you chatting with, laughing so happily?"
Wenxi: "My brother."
Shang Chen asked curiously, "Did Big Brother give us another dating fund because I did well?"
Wen Xi was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Hmm, you could guess that?"
“It’s not hard to guess,” Shang Chen said. “You’re only this happy when you’re chatting with your older brother.”
Wenxi: "Nonsense."
Shang Chen: "?"
"I'm just as happy when I chat with you."
Shang Chen's lips curved slightly, not letting any opportunity slip by.
He immediately asked seriously, "Then we can't waste your kindness, brother."
Wenxi: "?"
"When are you free?" Shang Chen revealed his true intentions: "We should go on a date."
Wenxi chuckled and leaned her head against Shang Chen's shoulder.
"I will follow Mr. Shang's arrangements."
Shang Chen was satisfied with the answer.
Shang Chen suddenly said, "Xi Xi, Big Brother is really stubborn and soft-hearted, saying one thing but meaning another."
Wenxi looked at him, "What do you mean?"
"When I was in the kitchen, my older brother asked me how the wedding preparations were going, and I said it was still a little short."
Wen Xi sat up straight and stared intently at Shang Chen: "What's missing?"
Shang Chen remained calm: "My older brother asked the same question, and I said we haven't taken our wedding photos yet."
Shang Chen's honest confession was full of self-righteousness.
Wenxi couldn't get angry; instead, she wanted to laugh.
She suppressed a laugh: "No wonder my brother suddenly urged me to take wedding photos at the dinner table and even asked me for the pictures. So it was you who was complaining?!"
Shang Chen remained expressionless and said, "This is not a complaint, but a truthful answer."
Wenxi also knew why Shang Chen complained to her brother, and she reflected on it seriously for a while.
"I was busy this time and didn't keep the wedding dress and photos in mind," Wen Xi said calmly. "I forgive you for complaining this time!"
Wenxi: "You and my brother were chatting quite a bit in the kitchen?"
When she went in, the two of them didn't say a word and were doing their own thing. It was like they were putting on a show for her.
Wenxi: "I was worried you'd be wronged... Chenchen, you're amazing."
Shang Chen grasped Wen Xi's hand, interlocking their fingers, deliberately ignoring the last sentence.
Shang Chen dropped a bombshell to divert Wen Xi's attention: "My brother said he used to write love letters."
Wen Xi: "Impossible!"
Shang Chen was surprised: "Are you so sure?"
Wenxi was silent for a moment, then said, "My brother has a knot in his heart and closed himself off from his emotions a long time ago."
The word "love" has absolutely nothing to do with Wen Zhou, let alone writing love letters.
Although Wenxi longed for her brother to have a happy marriage, she also knew the truth.
What determines her brother's happiness is never marriage or outsiders, but himself.
Wen Zhou's mental illness was serious; he was simply incapable of having any extra feelings for others.
Shang Chen deduced from Wen Xi's words that Wen Zhou's mental illness had developed long ago.
He still said earnestly, "But this was something my elder brother admitted himself."
Wenxi: "!"
Wenxi rarely showed such a gossipy side: "Did my brother say who he wrote the love letter to?"
"How come I knew nothing about this?"
Shang Chen said quietly, "I didn't ask."
Those three simple words instantly silenced Wenxi.
Shang Chen added, "Xi Xi, don't you think I talk too much? I'm afraid if I ask too many questions, my older brother will also think I talk too much."
Wenxi: "...When have I ever complained that you talk too much?"
Shang Chen: "Yes."
Not long after they got married.
Once he asked Wenxi a question, but Wenxi ignored him.
Shang Chen thought he had done something wrong, so he specially invited Wen Xi to dinner to explain.
As a result, Wenxi said he talked too much.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wenxi remembered it too and was speechless.
She said that what she just said didn't sound right, so that's what they were waiting for her to know.
Wenxi calmly countered, "That's not right."
"Why did you two suddenly start talking about love letters?"
Attack is the best defense, and Wenxi understood this principle well.
Shang Chen pondered for a moment: "I still remember that drawer full of love letters from last time."
"So you're jealous." Wen Xi asked with a half-smile, "I thought you were going to write me a love letter."
Shang Chen was immediately puzzled.
Just how many people did Shang Ze, that big mouth, tell about his plan to write love letters?!
Was Wenxi's question a test, or simply a question?
Shang Chen's voice was deep and resonant: "Do you want me to write you a love letter?"
Wenxi looked at him with a smile: "Of course I want to."
Wenxi showered Shang Chen with sweet words without reservation.
"How could I not like a love letter written by my favorite person?"
Shang Chen's eyes darkened as he stared at Wen Xi.
The car interior was cramped, but Wenxi smiled brightly: "Did you enjoy listening?"
Shang Chen lowered his voice: "It's alright."
"Don't be so reserved." Wen Xi straightened her posture, looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "Chen Chen, your ears are all red."
Shang Chen: "..."
Now that he had been exposed, Shang Chen no longer held back his politeness.
He pulled Wenxi into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.
After a long while, Wenxi heard his slightly hoarse voice.
Like the deep, slow darkness of night.
"I like it very much."
As they parted, Wenxi smiled and said, "Shang Chen, remember to be more curious next time."
Shang Chen: "?"
"Ask my brother about the love letter."
Shang Chen: "Okay."
Although he felt that his older brother might not be willing to tell him.
After getting off the bus, Wenxi carried the vase her brother had given her home.
She opened the gift first.
Shang Chen poured a cup of hot water and brought it over. Seeing Wen Xi fiddling with a vase, he asked, "Do you like it?"
Wenxi held the vase and admired it carefully: "The gifts my brother brings back from his business trips are always to my liking."
Shang Chen took the other one. "Shall we put it on our bedside table?"
Wen Xi paused, looking at Shang Chen with a puzzled expression.
Shang Chen calmly replied, "Husband and wife are one, so the gift my elder brother gave you is also a gift to me."
"I'll switch back to the old vase when my older brother sends me a new one next year."
