Chapter 197 Love at First Sight, Passionate and Unending
The next day at noon, Wenxi and Shang Shen arranged to go back to the Yan family home for lunch, and also to bring their daughter home.
When Shang Chen got out of the car, he took out his camera again.
Wenxi teased him, "Did you bring this especially for me to take pictures?"
Shang Chen said calmly, "Take some pictures for you, and also take some pictures for our daughter."
What if the photo turns out ugly?
After a moment of contemplation, Shang said cautiously, "You can punish me after I go home."
Wenxi's eyelids twitched.
Both of them were busy with work during the day and only returned to Mansion No. 3 at night.
After returning home, Shang Chen was anything but innocent.
Just then, Zhou Ruo came downstairs, and Wen Xi stopped talking to Shang Chen.
"mom."
Zhou Ruo led her daughter down the stairs and said with a smile, "You didn't even give me a heads-up before you came, so I could have asked Auntie to prepare a few of your favorite dishes."
Shang Chen: "Xixi deliberately didn't tell me in advance because she was afraid of tiring Mom."
“What’s so tiring about this?” Zhou Ruo said, “Besides, parents are tired for their children, but their hearts are sweet. You’ll understand when you become parents yourself.”
Shang Chen: "It's our fault. We'll let you know in advance next time."
Zhou Ruo smiled and hugged Wen Xi. "Okay."
Wenxi glanced at Shang Chen.
Is it because I've been watching too much 'news'?
Shang Chen has become increasingly eloquent lately, a far cry from his former rigid and serious demeanor.
Not long after they started chatting, Yan Xu came downstairs yawning.
Zhou Ruo glanced at him and explained to Wen Xi, "He's off today and eating at home, so you don't need to worry about him."
The meaning is to tell Wenxi not to be influenced by Yan Xu.
Wenxi: "I understand."
Zhou Ruo suddenly became happy again: "Xi Xi, have you read the comments online these past two days?"
Wen Xi smiled and glanced at Shang Chen: "I didn't read much, but Shang Chen read quite a lot."
"Really?" Zhou Ruo was also a little surprised: "I didn't realize that Shang Chen liked to read online comments."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xu, who had just sat down, couldn't help but glance at Shang Chen.
Shang Chen: "..."
Does he look like someone who doesn't know how to use the internet?
Shang Chen said calmly, "There have been a lot of bad rumors about Xixi online lately, so I've been paying more attention."
"You've put your heart into this." Zhou Ruo looked at Shang Chen with nothing but satisfaction. "I never imagined that you two would have such a good relationship. It must be fate."
"Yes, Xixi and I are very compatible."
Shang Chen's usually serious face now wore a gentle smile.
Zhou Ruo sighed, "If we hadn't been switched at birth, you and Xixi would have been childhood sweethearts, and your relationship would have been even stronger."
Wen Xi calmly replied, "No one can say for sure about such things."
Wenxi smiled and said, "Maybe if I had been controlled by Shang Chen since I was a child, I wouldn't have wanted to marry him when I grew up, and I would have found him annoying."
Shang Chen was peeling an orange in his hand, and said without changing his expression, "No."
Wenxi looked at Shang Chen with curiosity.
Shang Chen handed a piece of orange to Wen Xi's lips: "Open your mouth."
Wenxi obediently opened her mouth, and instantly tasted the sweet and sour flavor of oranges.
She couldn't help but frown: "Why is it so sour?"
Zhou Ru chuckled: "I love sour things, so I specially had a batch of sour oranges brought over. Stop eating them..."
Wen Xi barely finished her meal, then looked at Shang Chen with a long gaze: "Are you deliberately getting back at me?"
Shang Chen was calm and composed, with a hint of innocence: "I didn't know this orange was sour."
Are you really afraid I'll dislike you?
Shang Chen frowned, and said seriously, "Xi Xi, you said we were a match made in heaven."
"Even though we were switched at birth, fate still brought you to me. If we hadn't been switched, we would have been a better match."
Zhou Ruo was shocked to hear Shang Chen speaking sweet words in such a serious manner: "I never knew Shang Chen could say sweet words to coax people."
With her elders in front of her, Wenxi still felt a little awkward. She took a segment of orange from Shang Chen's hand and fed it to him.
Shang Chen calmly ate his food: "Another piece?"
Zhou Ruo chuckled, while Wen Xi appeared calm on the surface, though she was actually finding it hard to cope.
She had no choice but to change the subject: "Mom, what comments were you going to talk about online?"
Zhou Ruo: "It's a comment praising your loving relationship as a couple."
"The online media these days are really amazing; they even know the story of Xixi being switched at birth and then falling in love at first sight with Shang Chen during a blind date."
Shang Chen looked up: "Love at first sight?"
Wenxi asked him with a smile, "Didn't you have time to watch the news today?"
Shang Chen: "...I haven't seen it yet."
Shang Chen wasn't really that idle; he spent his days observing news online.
He spent the entire morning in meetings, dealing entirely with work.
When Zhou Ruo mentioned the online comments, he subconsciously thought they were comments clarifying the image of 'Wen Mouren's' husband.
Wenxi: "They say online that we are destined to be husband and wife."
"I fell in love with you at first sight when we first met, and that's why I agreed to the arranged marriage."
Wenxi smiled and her tone became increasingly gentle: "After marriage, you were aloof and reserved, but you couldn't resist my fiery passion, which is why I was able to successfully win you over."
"Honey, did you like this story?"
Shang Chen: "..."
What kind of messed-up story is this?
He and Wenxi had a whirlwind marriage, and both of them were well aware of their post-marital situation.
Wenxi hasn't even said she loves him yet, so where does this talk of love at first sight and passionate love come from?
Shang Chen said quietly, "There was no love at first sight, nor was there any passionate love."
Shang Chen emphasized the phrase "passionate as fire".
Wenxi smiled.
Zhou Ruo suppressed a laugh and comforted her, "It will happen, it will happen."
She used to worry that Wenxi would find Shang Chen too dull and taciturn after they got married, but now it seems she was worrying for nothing.
Wenxi laughed and leaned on Shang Chen's shoulder, "Mom is right, it will happen."
Even the aunties next to them couldn't help but chuckle.
Shang Chen: "..."
Approaching thirty, he had certainly entertained his parents in colorful clothes.
After finishing his meal, Shang Chen went to the company to handle some matters. Before leaving, he took a few photos of Wen Xi and his "daughter".
After Shang Chen left, Wen Xi took her daughter for a walk in the garden.
After taking a walk, Qianjin lazily lay on the ground, not wanting to move.
Wenxi didn't urge it, and simply sat on the swing next to it, slowly swinging back and forth a couple of times.
While sniffing the grass, Qianjin suddenly looked up, glanced to her right, and barked.
Wen Xi glanced to the side and saw Yan Xu walking towards her.
She called out softly, "My lady, come here!"
Qianjin obediently ran to Wenxi's side and stopped shouting.
Yan Xu walked up to her, looking dejected.
"What's up?"
Just now at the dinner table, Yan Xu looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Wenxi immediately guessed that he had something he wanted to say to her.
If it were the old Yan Xu, he definitely wouldn't have been able to resist saying it at the dinner table.
But today he held back and waited until after dinner to come find her.
It seems that Yan Xu has made progress during this period.
Yan Xu: "My sister is sick."
