Chapter 164 Shang Chen: "You said you only like my type."
Wen Xi paused for a moment, then quietly looked at Shang Chen.
After a long silence, her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Shang Chen, is this how you coax me?"
Shang Chen's expression was serious, but he was very patient.
"Coaxing you to take the medicine counts as part of it."
Wenxi: "Do you know that I hate taking medicine the most?"
Shang Chen was taken aback, then said seriously, "I don't know."
This wasn't mentioned on Wenxi's resume.
Shang Chen took some time to reflect.
He didn't take the initiative to find out Wenxi's preferences, which was indeed a poor decision.
Wenxi's resume contains limited and incomplete information.
At least the above doesn't mention Song Hezhou delivering meals for a year or visiting Jiang Zheng in prison.
Yes, and graduation wedding photos too.
Seeing him lost in thought, Wenxi guessed he was thinking about his resume and said listlessly, "Who would write their own shortcomings on their resume?"
Shang paused for a moment, then said, "What you said makes sense."
After saying that, Wenxi immediately thought of the resume Shang Chen had given her.
Shang Chen actually wrote down his own shortcomings.
The section on shortcomings reads: rigid, serious, and lacking in fun.
Wenxi couldn't help but laugh and teased him, "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
Shang Chen calmly corrected Wen Xi: "You won't get hurt."
Wenxi: "?"
Shang Chen said matter-of-factly, "You said you only like my type."
Wenxi was speechless for a moment.
She suddenly understood why her brother sometimes disliked Shang Chen.
That point deducted for showing affection in public... it deserves it!
After chatting for a while, Wenxi became increasingly tired.
She leaned against Shang Chen's chest, her posture languid and motionless.
I'm curious to see how Shang Chen will coax her into taking her medicine.
Shang Chen pondered for a moment: "Wenxi, shall I feed you your medicine?"
Wenxi: "If you feed me, the medicine won't taste bitter?"
Shang Chen hesitated for a moment: "Maybe?"
Wenxi: "So you think you're sweet enough to neutralize the bitterness of the medicine?"
Wenxi got interested and even called out to him, "Then you shouldn't be called Shang Chenchen, you should be called Shang Tiantian?"
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi is really confused from her illness; he understands less and less of what she's saying.
After Shen Shen, is he going to have another nickname?
Shang Chen racked his brains before finally saying, "Shall I tell you a joke?"
Wenxi finally became interested.
"Tell me about it?" Wenxi said, "If you can make me laugh, I'll take the medicine willingly."
Is Shang Chen telling a joke?
Wenxi found the whole thing quite amusing.
After thinking for a while, Shang Chen finally spoke: "I really liked the heart-shaped emoji you sent me today."
Wenxi said lazily, "I guessed it, so what?"
"I wanted to send you the same picture, but... I didn't."
When Shang Chen said "I didn't," his tone was calm and his attitude was indifferent.
But Wenxi just felt like laughing.
"You continue."
Shang Chen: "I searched for ten minutes but couldn't find a way to send pictures."
"I was afraid you'd have to wait too long, so I went to ask Shang Ze."
Wenxi actually laughed this time.
"So you took so long to reply to me... did you ask Shang Ze first?"
Shang Chen's face was serious and calm, and he nodded slightly.
Wen Xi smiled brightly, "Why don't you just ask me directly next time?"
Wenxi could already picture Shang Chen sitting in his office, intently studying how to send a heart emoji on his phone, and finally, unable to figure it out, having to turn to Shang Ze for help with a stern face.
That kid Shang Ze would probably burst out laughing right in front of Shang Chen.
Wenxi couldn't help but laugh more and more, and finally buried her head in Shang Chen's arms and laughed.
When she looked up again, her eyes were glistening, as if she had laughed through her tears.
Shang Chen knew that Wen Xi really liked seeing him as either 'out of touch with the times' or 'keeping up with the times'.
He knew how to make her laugh.
Even though Wen Xi was laughing so happily, Shang Chen was still a little depressed.
"That's funny?"
Wenxi nodded and said very seriously, "It is indeed funny."
Shang Chen: "...So what did Shang Ze say when he called you today?"
Wenxi was taken aback. "He didn't say anything, just that I should like his posts on WeChat Moments when I have time."
After saying that, Wenxi suddenly realized something.
She picked up her phone from the table and quickly found Shang Ze's WeChat Moments.
Married men are so secretly passionate!
Wenxi smiled gently.
Without even thinking, it's obvious that this married man refers to Shang Chen.
As she laughed, Wenxi realized what was happening. "Shang Chen, you told this joke just to find out what Shang Ze said to me on the phone, right?!"
Otherwise, given Shang Chen's personality, how could he possibly expose his embarrassing moments?
Shang Chen calmly handed the medicine to Wen Xi: "Xi Xi, you smiled."
"Sweetie, drink your medicine."
Wen Xi: "...President Shang used all his tricks on me. Is this killing two birds with one stone?"
They not only found out the contents of Shang Ze's phone call, but also coaxed her into taking the medicine.
Shang Chen held the medicine, staring at her without saying a word.
Wenxi accepted her loss and swallowed all the medicine in one go.
My face went numb from the bitterness.
Shang Chen handed her a glass of warm water.
Wenxi took a sip, and after calming down, said indifferently, "I declare that you are not Shang Tiantian, you are now Shang Kuku."
Wenxi seemed more lively than usual after her illness.
Shang Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly: "Okay, then let's call her Shang Kuku."
The night was dark, and the lights were warm and yellow.
Beneath his serious face, his eyes revealed a hint of doting affection.
Whether it's sweet or bitter, Wenxi calls it out affectionately.
Shang Chen likes them all.
The bitter taste on her tongue hadn't gone away, so Wenxi tried to distract herself by chatting with Shang Chen: "Aren't you taking the afternoon flight?"
Shang Shen is going to Jiangbei tomorrow to attend a summit there, and should have already arrived in Jiangbei to make preparations by now.
Shang Chen: "No rush, the meeting doesn't start until tomorrow afternoon."
"I'm asking you, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Although Wenxi was ill, she was not confused.
Business trips are usually very busy and rarely change unless there are unforeseen circumstances.
How did he find out he was sick?
Shang Chen: "The voice message you sent me this afternoon sounded off."
Wenxi: "The voice sounds off?"
Wenxi touched her throat.
She didn't notice at all.
Shang Chen said very seriously, "It's very different from usual."
Those subtle differences are probably only noticed by those who are close to you.
Shang Chen explained, "I called my aunt and she said you looked very unwell, so I asked Assistant Wu to change your flight."
"Although I am not a doctor and cannot cure diseases, I have to stay with you."
This will put his mind at ease, and Wenxi will also feel at ease.
Although Wenxi had already guessed the truth, hearing it from Shang Chen still moved her deeply.
"Shang Chen, when did you learn to say sweet words to coax people?"
Shang Chen earnestly corrected: "It's not sweet talk, it's the truth."
Wenxi looked at him quietly.
Sometimes, the truth is the best love confession.
Wenxi: "Don't tell my older brother about my illness."
Shang Chen: "Why?"
I'm afraid you'll get points deducted.
Wenxi couldn't say it directly, so she only said, "I'm afraid he'll worry."
Shang Chen tucked her in, saying, "Just sleep peacefully, don't worry about anything else."
Wenxi didn't think much of it.
Just as she lay down, she remembered something else and picked up her phone to send a message to Bai Wei.
Remember to watch Attorney Jiang's live stream today, and it would be best to record it.
It would be best if we could infiltrate her fan group.
Wenxi had just finished typing when Bai Wei replied to her message.
[Wenlu, Lehui and I have been infiltrating her fan group for a while now!]
[Back when she was fabricating stories about "Wen Moumou," Le Hui and I used alternate accounts to speak up for you, but we got kicked out.]
[Later, we created a new account and joined the group to monitor whether she continued to spread rumors about you!]
Wenxi rubbed her temples to clear her head.
[Great job! I'll cover your milk tea this year.]
Wen Lu, I love you to death!
Did she mention my name in the group chat? It would be best to save any messages where she mentioned me.
【Okay!】
Cases where Attorney Jiang uses "Wen Moumou" as a pseudonym and then spreads rumors are not easy to win.
Unless Attorney Jiang personally admits that the "Wen" she mentioned is Wen Xi.
Wenxi was pondering how to find a starting point when her phone was suddenly snatched from her hand.
Shang Chen looked down at her, his expression unusually serious: "Is work that important?"
Wenxi met his dark eyes and said with a hint of helplessness, "Okay, I'll rest now."
Shang Chen said sternly, "Hand over your phone."
Wenxi: "Okay, Director Shang."
Shang Chen: "..."
Is Wenxi getting more and more enthusiastic about giving him nicknames now?
Seeing that Wenxi had finally fallen asleep, Shang Chen quietly went out.
He immediately dialed Wen Zhou's number.
Wenxi is sick.
Wen Zhou: "You have a cold?"
"Hmm." Before Wen Zhou could question her, Shang Chen took the initiative to say, "It's my fault for not taking good care of her."
He called Wenzhou on his own initiative because Wenzhou had experience in taking care of Wenxi, and he wanted to learn from his brother-in-law.
Shang Chen had long been prepared to face his brother-in-law's dissatisfaction.
He suspected that Wenxi was sick because of last night.
He shouldn't have indulged in it.
Wen Zhou was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "I'll make a list and send it to you later."
Shang Chen: "Okay."
Wen Zhou: "Keep an eye on her tomorrow, make sure she doesn't go to the law firm."
Shang Chen: "I will."
The conversation between the two was cold, mechanical, and devoid of any unnecessary words.
Wen Zhou hung up the phone quickly.
Along with his order came a takeout order of brown sugar ginger tea and cold medicine.
Shang Chen stared at the takeout order, then glanced at Wen Zhoulie's order, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
My brother-in-law is so capable and considerate.
It seems he didn't get a chance to perform?
Wenxi woke up late the next day, and the first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to look for Shang Chen.
She was afraid that Shang Chen would miss the Jiangbei meeting because of her.
As she was going downstairs, she suddenly received a call from her teacher.
Are you coming to the law firm today?
Wenxi touched her forehead to make sure her fever had subsided, and immediately said, "Go."
She had Bai Wei collect information about Attorney Jiang last night, so she'll organize it today.
"That's perfect, you can go to Jiangbei for me then."
"I have a case that requires me to investigate materials at the Jiangbei Court. I have already applied to the Jiangbei Court, but unfortunately my leg hurts this afternoon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
Wenxi agreed without much thought.
"Teacher, your leg isn't fully healed yet, so don't push yourself too hard."
"Understood." Director Huang didn't want his apprentice to nag him, so he just left a sentence and hung up.
"Remember to go to Jiangbei this afternoon!"
Wenxi: "..."
The older the teacher gets, the more energetic and efficient they become.
