Chapter 86 "Didn't you say you were going to show me your abs?"
Wenxi had just finished speaking when she realized it wasn't quite right.
She put down her knife and fork: "Never mind, give me the flowers."
The waiter also breathed a sigh of relief.
This gentleman has quite an imposing presence.
She smiled and handed the flowers to Wenxi, saying, "I wish you both a pleasant Valentine's Day meal."
Wenxi politely said, "Thank you."
After the waiter left, Wenxi stood up, holding a bouquet of red roses, and solemnly presented it to Shang Chen, full of ceremony.
"Shang Chen, Happy Valentine's Day."
For Valentine's Day, it's best if she personally carries the flowers and delivers them to Shang Chen.
Sending something through someone else's hands doesn't show enough sincerity.
Shang Chen stared at the bright and dazzling roses, remaining silent for a long time.
In the end, I chose to accept it silently.
After experiencing embarrassment repeatedly, Shang Chen learned to become immune to it and even mastered another trick.
They're pushing their luck.
"Dates, gifts, roses... what else?"
A deep, cool voice rang out.
Their eyes met, and a hint of ambiguity lingered between them.
Wen Xi was somewhat tempted, and also understood Shang Chen's unspoken meaning, so she calmly replied, "We're having dinner."
That means there isn't any left.
Shang Chen was somewhat disappointed.
After finishing her meal, Wenxi went to the restroom first.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw him standing in the corridor waiting for her. The warm yellow light shone on half of his face, giving him a refined and composed air.
The man is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist; even a conservative suit cannot conceal his masculine charm.
This restaurant has one table per floor, and the waiters leave after delivering the food, so it offers a high degree of privacy.
Now, there are only the two of them on the entire floor.
Wenxi, wearing high heels, slowly stepped forward.
Hearing footsteps, Shang Chen turned around: "All done?"
"No."
Wenxi said lazily, "I was missing one item for my Valentine's Day gift, so I'll make up for it now."
She smiled and said, "Otherwise, someone will become petty and hold a grudge again."
Shang Chen: "?"
Meeting Shang Chen's slightly questioning gaze, Wen Xi reached out and grabbed Shang Chen's tie, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips.
Shang Chen was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was happening.
The man's large hand landed on Wenxi's waist, deepening the kiss.
Since they were out in public, they only took a small taste.
As her high heels touched the ground, Wen Xi released Shang Chen, still clutching his tie, her eyebrows raised.
Did you brush your teeth?
Shang Chen calmly replied, "You swiped your card too."
The tie had a very nice texture, and Wenxi wrapped it around her fingertips little by little.
For some reason, Shang Chen felt as if his heart was also entangled.
Wen Xi laughed and said, "Didn't you just think I refused? Why did you go brush your teeth?"
Shang Chen pressed his luck, asking for the fourth gift, but Wen Xi said to eat first.
He guessed that Wenxi had refused.
Wenxi happened to see the disappointment on his face.
Wenxi is quite generous.
This small gift was enough to satisfy Shang's dad, and he even went to the bathroom to brush his teeth after dinner.
Little did anyone know, Shang Chen had also made preparations.
Meeting Wenxi's teasing gaze, Shang Chen calmly replied, "Just in case."
Wen Xi was quite shocked and looked Shang Chen up and down.
So this phrase can be used like that?
Could she interpret this as her dad brushing his teeth, waiting for her to kiss him whenever she wanted?
Wenxi's smile had a deeper meaning.
"With all this preparation, it seems a bit wasteful to only kiss once?"
As soon as Wenxi finished speaking, Shang Chen turned the two of them around, trapping her against the wall.
He lowered his head and kissed her.
The man was broad-shouldered and his tall shadow enveloped Wenxi.
The second kiss was a bit deeper and heavier, and I almost lost my mind.
This is neither like Shang Chen nor Wen Xi.
The two calmed down and entered the elevator.
Wen Xi faced the elevator door, standing side by side with Shang Chen. "When did you change my birthday to your phone password?"
"The first time."
Wenxi: "..."
Which first time?
First meeting? First time getting a marriage certificate? Or first time doing it?
Wenxi wisely chose not to ask any further questions.
Shang Chen: "Didn't you say you were going to show me your abs?"
Wenxi: "Didn't you see it?"
"It's not a photo."
Wenxi glanced at the fluctuating elevator floor number, trying to distract herself: "Tonight."
Shang Chen said in a serious tone, "I'm really looking forward to it."
Wenxi glanced at him, unwilling to let Shang Chen gain the upper hand.
"Mr. Shang, you still owe me one."
Shang Chen: "..."
As soon as they left the restaurant, Assistant Wu's car was parked at the entrance.
He turned his head and saw Shang Chen holding a large bouquet of roses, and he was a little stunned.
Is the rose in Mr. Shang's hand for his wife?
Wait a minute, Mr. Shang ordered roses for his wife, how come his personal assistant didn't know?!
Shang Chen first helped Wen Xi into the car before walking to the driver's seat and knocking on the window.
"No date today?"
Assistant Wu: "Mr. Shang, I'm single."
What kind of Valentine's Day should single people celebrate?
Shang Chen said without changing his expression, "Oh, so you know today is Valentine's Day?"
Assistant Wu: "!"
Has he forgotten something?
Or perhaps, Mr. Shang, have you forgotten something?
Assistant Wu asked cautiously, "President Shang, you...don't remember Valentine's Day?"
Shang Chen: "..."
Assistant Wu was genuinely surprised that Shang Chen had forgotten about Valentine's Day.
After all, the streets and roadsides are all decorated for Valentine's Day, and shopping malls are all having events and playing music.
The building opposite the Shang Group's office building also put up a huge screen and hung a giant poster to celebrate Valentine's Day.
If Mr. Shang ever looked up at the window while working, he would know it was Valentine's Day!
Assistant Wu stared at the rose in Shang Chen's hand and, unafraid of death, asked another question.
"So this bouquet of roses is really a Valentine's Day gift from your wife?"
Shang Chen said calmly, "No?"
"OK!"
Assistant Wu tried to salvage the situation, saying, "This shows that your relationship with your wife is getting better and better."
Wenxi: "..."
She's still here.
Don't these two know how to speak in private?
So this is how Assistant Wu usually fools Shang Chen?
After dropping Wenxi off at the law firm, Shang Chen took a car back to the company.
Along the way, he observed the layout of the shopping malls and buildings along the road.
It seems like Valentine's Day is being celebrated everywhere.
When he arrived at the Shang Group building, he looked up and saw the huge pink heart-shaped electronic screen across the street.
Happy Valentine's Day! May all lovers in the world be united in marriage.
Shang Chen: "..."
He was indeed wrong about what happened today.
Assistant Wu pretended to be dead for a while, but when he saw Shang Chen about to get out of the car, he couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Shang, your tie is a little crooked... and a little wrinkled."
Mr. Shang is always meticulous in his actions and never appears unkempt.
He was fine before the meal, but his tie was wrinkled when he came down.
I guess they enjoyed the meal.
Shang Chen glanced down at his slightly crooked tie, then adjusted it without changing his expression.
He looked up at Assistant Wu: "Remember to remind me earlier next time."
Assistant Wu: "..."
He only just discovered it himself!
After Shang Chen got out of the car, Assistant Wu belatedly realized what had happened.
Mr. Shang asked him to remind him earlier, perhaps because he wanted his wife to adjust his tie?
Mr. Shang, I'm sure you're quite disappointed.
As soon as Shang Shen went upstairs, he saw Shang Ze sitting at the service desk, looking listless.
When Shang Ze saw Shang Chen coming up with a bouquet of roses, his eyes lit up: "Brother, did you go to spend Valentine's Day with my sister-in-law?"
