Chapter 174 Interview
Wenxi was hit in the face by a cold wind and it took her a few seconds to realize what Shang Chen was saying.
Is Shang Chen settling scores with her now?
Wenxi then thought of Shang Chen's petty and vengeful nature.
Wenxi asked calmly, "Why aren't you wearing perfume today?"
Shang Chen realized that Wen Xi was deliberately changing the subject.
Shang Chen: "You want to smell it?"
Wenxi paused for a moment.
Shang Chen is increasingly adept at making outrageous statements.
Fortunately, I'm not at the Yan family's house right now.
Wenxi: "No, I'm just curious."
In order to leave a good impression on her brother, Shang Chen deliberately sprayed perfume for several days in a row, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Logically speaking, she should have shown off her 'charm' when she came to see her mother.
Shang Chen immediately saw the meaning behind Wen Xi's smile and responded with a meaningful remark.
"We have aromatherapy at home."
"If you like the smell, you can smell it when you get home."
Wenxi had only asked the question casually, as a joke.
Who knew I'd get this answer?
Has Shang Chen switched from perfume to aromatherapy?
Wenxi asked in confusion, "You bought it?"
Shang Chen glanced at her. "You'll find out when we get home."
Wenxi: "Are you keeping us in suspense?"
Wenxi isn't so easily coaxed.
The grudge from just now hasn't faded yet.
Wen Xi linked arms with Shang Chen and said casually, "You came to the Yan family to see my mother without even inviting me?"
Shang Chen: "There are so many rumors circulating online. I was afraid my mom would overthink it, so I came here to explain."
“You’ve been busy dealing with things online lately, so I think I can handle these small matters.”
Wenxi's steps became lighter, and she teased with a smile, "We do good deeds quietly and never boast about them."
Shang Chen's serious and upright eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"Wenxi...call me husband!"
He deliberately kept a straight face.
Although Shang Chen was already used to Wen Xi calling him Chen Chen.
But the way he said that made it sound like he was praising his own son.
Wenxi: "I won't call you that. If you hold a grudge, I'll hold a grudge too."
Shang Chen: "..."
Wen Xi paused, then suddenly turned around and looked up at Shang Chen.
Snowflakes drifted down from above and landed between Shang Chen's thick eyebrows.
Wenxi raised her hand to wipe the snow off Shang Chen's eyebrows, her voice light and gentle.
“I told you and my brother about the rumors circulating online, but I forgot to tell my parents.”
“She meant well in clarifying things for me.” Wenxi: “I was afraid they would overthink things, so I entrusted my daughter to their care.”
For Zhou Ruo and his wife now, Wen Xi's entrustment and troubles represent trust.
Wenxi felt guilty, which is why she took the initiative to send her daughter over to break the ice and comfort Zhou Ruo and his wife.
Shang Chen knew that Wen Xi had always been very insightful.
Thinking things through leads to seeing them more clearly.
He pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of Wenxi's head: "Xixi, you sent my daughter away, don't you owe me a fortune?"
Wen Xi smiled and tiptoed to plant a kiss on the corner of Shang Chen's lips.
Her eyes were bright and clear, and she smiled frankly: "Not yet."
"I'll replace it for you later?"
Shang Chen's expression remained unchanged, but satisfaction was evident in his eyes.
"Then I'll remember it for you."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "What, does President Shang keep a little notebook for keeping accounts?"
When Wenxi got home and finished taking a shower, she saw Shang Chen lighting incense.
The man stood tall and straight, his demeanor exuding the composure of a mature man.
Wenxi leaned closer and took a sniff. "The smell is a bit strong... I've never smelled it before."
What scent does it have?
Shang Chen raised his hand to turn off the light, lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Wenxi asked, puzzled. "Didn't you buy this aromatherapy diffuser?"
"no."
Wenxi: "?"
Shang Chen: "It was a gift from President Zhang."
Wenxi immediately thought of the large box of 'preparation products' that Mr. Zhang had sent by express delivery that day.
Wenxi: "..."
At night, Wenxi's hand landed on the back of Shang Chen's head, his dark hair was disheveled and he was covered in sweat.
Wenxi pinched Shang Chen's ear with her fingertips and couldn't help but ask, "Did you do something behind my back?"
Shang Chen grasped her hand, his voice deep and hoarse: "No."
Wenxi didn't believe it at all.
Recently, Shang Shen has made some rapid progress.
Whether under the bed or on the bed.
After it was over, he held Wenxi in his arms and, after careful consideration, answered, "I've read the entire instruction manual, does that count?"
Wenxi leaned lazily against him, her mind a beat slow: "Instruction manual?"
Shang Chen: "Instruction manual for 'preparation for pregnancy' products".
Wenxi realized what was happening and fell into an eerie silence.
Shang Chen, fearing that Wen Xi might not understand, emphasized, "More than ten sheets of paper, which took quite a bit of time."
Wenxi: "..."
The next day, Wenxi went to the law firm on time.
Because of the online rumors, fewer people have been coming to her for case consultations lately.
Wenxi took the opportunity to slack off.
She rubbed her lower back, preparing to get a massage in the afternoon, as her whole body was very sore.
Shang Chen was so eager to learn that Wen Xi was not to be outdone.
She plans to study those dozen or so instruction manuals when she has time.
The trial of Zhou Yuan's case will begin soon, and Wen Xi took the opportunity to review the materials again.
She had barely sat down when Bai Wei pushed the door open and came in.
“Wenlu, someone wants to interview you.”
Wenxi's gaze remained fixed on the computer screen. "Interview me?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Who wants to interview me?
"An online media outlet."
"Did you come here because of the recent online rumors?"
“Yes.” Bai Wei: “I checked their media outlets, and they’re not very objective. They like to use exaggerated headlines as gimmicks to generate buzz.”
"They probably saw that your story was trending and wanted to piggyback on it."
Wen Xi looked up at Bai Wei: "Not bad, you know how to use your brain now."
Bai Wei chuckled awkwardly: "Wen Lu, will you agree to their interview?"
"No, let them go back."
"OK!" Bai Wei muttered, "I also think we shouldn't accept it."
“After they finish the interview, we don’t know how they will write it. I’m afraid they will distort the truth to create a hot topic and deliberately frame you, Wenlu.”
