Chapter 32 It seems Wenxi disliked him again.
Once in the car, Shang Chen asked, "I only saw the picture you sent when you went to get the gift."
"Were you sharing your life with me in those sunset photos last time?"
Wenxi: "Yes, I listened to what you said last time."
"We got married in a hurry and weren't very familiar with each other. Apart from phone calls, we could share things about our lives with each other."
Shang Chen nodded slightly. "Understood."
What do you know?
Actually, Wenxi hadn't finished speaking.
She has a habit of sharing, but Shang Chen does not.
Wenxi never forces anyone to do anything against their will. She originally wanted to say that she could just post pictures from time to time, but Shang Chen's "I know" shut her up.
Wenxi paused for a moment, then said, "Aren't you going to open the gift and take a look?"
Upon hearing Xi's words, Shang Chen calmly and slowly opened the gift box.
Opening the box, he glanced at the design of the cufflinks and tie clip, and frowned slightly: "Red?"
Wenxi emphasized, "Dark red, I think it suits you very well."
A calm and noble demeanor with a hint of slyness.
Shang Chen glanced at her.
He sensed the teasing in Wenxi's words, "Why?"
"If it suits you, it suits you. Why ask so many questions?"
As the two spent more time together, Wenxi and Shang Chen became less polite and distant in their conversations.
Shang Chen met her questioning gaze and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, Shang Chen asked again, "Only one cufflink?"
Cufflinks are always in pairs, but Wenxi's gift box only contained one cufflink, though there were clearly two inlays on the box.
Wenxi said seriously, "Yes, I only want to buy one."
Shang Chen: "..."
This sounds familiar.
When Wenxi asked him last time why he only bought the bracelet and not the jewelry set, Shang Chen said he only wanted the bracelet.
The boomerang landed on him, and Shang Chen tasted the bitterness of being retaliated against.
Wenxi... she's quite vengeful.
Shang Chen sighed softly, "Didn't you say you believed me?"
Wenxi pretended not to know: "What do you mean, 'believe you'?"
"About the bracelet."
Wenxi: "I truly trust you."
But that doesn't stop her from teasing Shang Chen.
Shang Chen put down the box and said seriously, "Wenxi, you can tell me if you're angry."
He'll coax her.
A smile bloomed in Wen Xi's clear eyes. "Shang Chen, you're not funny at all."
She took another cufflink from her pocket and handed it to Shang Chen.
"Look, she's easily teased."
Shang Chen: "..."
So, how should he react?
For the first thirty years of his life, Shang Chen lived a routine life with very few emotional ups and downs.
He rarely shows emotions like surprise, shock, or anger. Even when his younger siblings make mistakes due to their immaturity, he doesn't get truly angry. Instead, he calmly presents the facts and reasons with them.
Wenxi said he wasn't fun at all, and Shang Chen couldn't refute that.
However, it seems that Wenxi dislikes him again.
Shang Chen lowered his eyes and stared at the cufflinks Wen Xi handed him, and slowly said, "Wen Xi, I'm a little angry."
As he spoke, he stretched his hand out to Wenxi.
Wen Xi was taken aback, staring at the hand Shang Chen offered and falling silent.
What's the meaning?
It took Wenxi a while to realize that Shang Chen wanted her to put cufflinks on him to appease him.
She was wrong; President Shang is quite the player.
Wenxi has already sent apology roses today, so she doesn't mind apologizing again and giving President Shang another cufflink.
She first helped Shang Chen remove the cufflinks from his suit.
Her fair fingertips held the dark red enamel cufflink, expertly putting it on his cuff.
When two people are close together, their fingertips inevitably touch.
The areas that were occasionally touched felt tingly and warm.
After Wenxi finished putting a cufflink on Shang Chen, she lifted her eyelids, revealing a pair of long, narrow eyes that were dark and bright, calm and gentle.
Their eyes met, and Shang Chen's throat tightened slightly.
"The other one."
Shang Chen took off another cufflink and gave it to Wen Xi.
Wenxi put it on him again.
After putting it on, Wenxi stepped back, wanting to check if it fit properly, when suddenly her hand was grabbed by a large hand.
She suddenly looked up and met Shang Chen's dark, inky eyes.
The man was as calm as the sea, his face expressionless, as he silently tightened his grip on Wenxi's hand.
Is it suitable?
Wenxi: "Suitable."
The noble and luxurious dark red color revealed a hint of rose, just as Shang Chen's calm expression masked his tightly clenched hand beneath his suit.
"Hmm." Shang Chen's tone was very calm. "You have excellent taste."
After a while, Wenxi looked straight ahead and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Loosen up a bit."
She squeezed it so tightly that her hands started sweating.
Shang Shen released his grip.
Just as Wenxi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw him pull off the handkerchief he used as decoration on his suit collar, pinch her hand bones, and gently rub her palm.
He asked casually, "You sweat so easily?"
Wenxi's palms not only sweat easily, but she sweats even more when she's doing it.
My hair always gets wet, and I have to spend time washing it afterwards.
Wenxi: "..."
Wenxi had some doubts about the sincerity of Shang Chen's words.
She mumbled, "Is that so?"
"Don't you run every day?"
People who exercise a lot generally don't sweat as easily.
Wen Xi: "The impact will be minimal."
Shang Chen nodded without saying a word.
That evening, Shang Chen had two neatly folded, damp towels placed by his bedside.
When Wenxi came out of the shower, she touched her fingertips and found they were still warm.
Her ear tips felt slightly warm.
Shang Chen's aura was calm and refined, yet full of aggression.
Wenxi clung to his shoulders, her fingertips pressing hard, leaving several marks on his back, her gaze gradually softening.
The second time, she was breathing softly.
Shang Chen pressed against her, holding her hand and pinching it against his earlobe, "Wenxi."
Wenxi's mind was a little muddled.
"Um?"
"If I make you angry, you can pinch me, don't be afraid of me."
Wenxi tightened her fingertips, completely losing her focus.
After a long while, she lay on Shang Chen's chest, her hair half-wet, and the sweat on her forehead had been wiped away by Shang Chen.
Wenxi then remembered what had just happened.
That afternoon at the Shang Group, she and Shang Ze were playfully insulting each other. Wen Xi said to Shang Chen, "Your brother encouraged me to twist your ear, do you think I'm scared?"
Was Shang Shen just answering her question?
He said if she got angry, she could twist his ear;
He also said not to be afraid of him.
Wenxi's heart stirred slightly.
Wenxi agreed to marry Shang Chen because she felt she was incapable of loving anyone and didn't need her future husband to love her.
But things are developing much better than she imagined.
Sometimes, love isn't necessary between husband and wife; compatibility is enough.
She and Shang Chen are a good match.
Whether on the bed or off the bed.
