Chapter 96 Wenxi is about to be overwhelmed.
Shang Chen stared at Wen Xi without changing his expression, not missing any of the reactions on Wen Xi's face.
So, he was wrong?
But Shang Chen sensed that although it wasn't a 'lively baby,' it wasn't a bad word either.
Seeing Wenxi's speechless expression, Shang Chen suddenly realized.
He seemed to understand why Wenxi always liked to tease him.
Wenxi abruptly changed the subject: "Your company is quite far from here, why did you decide to pick me up?"
"On the way."
Shang Ze, who had just gotten on the bus: "..."
Even giving his brother a chance wouldn't help!
Wenxi said casually, "Oh, so it was just on the way."
Shang Chen was unaware that his younger brother had just tricked him, and his silence was taken as tacit agreement.
Shang Ze couldn't help but say, "Brother, it's not shameful to admit that you want to personally pick up your sister-in-law and spend more time with her."
"Your company is in the opposite direction from here, how could it possibly be on the same route?!"
They can't even come up with a better excuse.
Shang Chen's tone was flat: "Assistant Wu, raise the barrier."
Shang Ze: "I haven't finished speaking yet..."
As the barrier rose, Shang Ze's voice was instantly blocked.
The car fell silent instantly.
Wen Xi leaned back lazily in her chair, glancing at Shang Chen: "Really on the way?"
After a moment of silence, Shang Chen decisively said, "It's not going well."
He sincerely said, "I really want to spend more time with you so that we can develop our relationship."
Actually, he was inspecting a branch office nearby and asked his assistant, Wu, to find out the address where the two of them would have dinner.
Seeing that we were close by, he said he would come to pick us up.
It's true that I wanted to see Wenxi, and it's also true that it was on my way.
But his intuition told him that he was going to say something that wouldn't go well.
After being married for so long, Shang Chen hasn't been completely stagnant.
If it's half true and half false, it's really hard to doubt it.
Wen Xi glanced at him indifferently.
So is it really on the way or not?
Having been an 'honest man' for so long, Wenxi really couldn't tell when Shang Chen suddenly lied.
She believed it.
Are you busy tonight?
Shang Chen: "I get off work at six."
Before Wenxi could speak, he said, "Shall we have dinner together?"
Wenxi looked at Shang Chen with curiosity.
She only now realized that Shang Chen was becoming more and more proactive.
"Eat at home?"
"Anything is fine." Shang Chen: "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Wenxi: "I just had hot pot for lunch, so I'll have something light for dinner."
"I'll have someone order food from a Cantonese restaurant."
Wenxi: "..."
Before Wenxi could even process the feeling of being pushed along by Shang Chen, she heard him ask again, "What did Shang Ze say to you?"
Wen Xi regained her composure: "Quite a lot."
"For example?"
"You really want to hear it?"
"……For example?"
Wenxi said slowly, "For example, some old-fashioned people may not say a word, but they have a lot of ulterior motives."
"For example, some men may be a bit old-fashioned, serious, and lacking in romance, but at least they know how to learn and keep up with the times..."
When Wenxi heard the words "keeping up with the times," she suddenly remembered that he had just praised her as a lively character, and immediately fell silent.
She quietly added, "There's no need to keep up with the times too much."
Shang Chen looked at Wen Xi quietly.
Just when Wenxi thought he was going to fall silent again, Shang Chen suddenly said, "I understand romance."
Wenxi should be well aware of this matter.
He would do whatever she wanted.
Wenxi: "?"
"!!!"
Shang Chen, do you know what you're saying?
Wenxi paused for a moment, "There are other people in the car, let's not talk about this now."
Shang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
He wanted to chat with Wenxi for a bit more, but his phone suddenly rang twice.
When Shang Chen opened the message, it was filled with messages from Shang Ze.
"Brother, I can guarantee that my sister-in-law and Lu Jinghuai have no past relationship whatsoever."
“I saw Lu Jinghuai while I was eating. He chatted with his sister-in-law for a bit, and their interaction was like a human-machine conversation.”
"Brother, this is the first time I've seen a man even more boring than you!"
Shang Chen stared at the last sentence for a long time before slowly looking away.
Is he boring?
Shang Chen casually asked, "Did you see Lu Jinghuai today?"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "Shang Ze sent you a message?"
Having just checked her phone, she immediately turned to ask Lu Jinghuai. Aside from Shang Ze, that big mouth, Wen Xi couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Hmm." Shang Chen said unhurriedly, "I've said quite a bit."
Wenxi suddenly became curious about what Shang Ze had said.
She wanted to look at Shang Chen's phone again.
I didn't know looking at my phone could be addictive.
Wen Xi: "I not only met Lu Jinghuai, but also Yan Xu."
Upon hearing Yan Xu's name, Shang Chen subconsciously frowned.
"He was rude to you again?"
“No, he came to apologize,” Wen Xi said simply. “Right after he apologized, Lu Jinghuai came looking for him.”
“My brother is back. I contacted him, and he was worried that my brother would cause him trouble, so he asked me to remind my brother to be more rational.”
Wenxi: "Speaking of which, why didn't you tell me that Yan Xu sent you photos and spread rumors about me and Brother Song?"
"You'll only get annoyed if you hear that." Shang Chen: "I trust you, so there's no need to ask any more questions."
Rather than telling Wenxi, it would only upset her.
Shang Chen was more inclined to resolve the matter and teach Yan Xu a lesson directly.
He told Wenxi, "My father-in-law called him home and beat him up."
Wenxi exclaimed in surprise, "Was it my dad who hit me? When I saw the handprint on his face, I thought it was my mom."
"Perhaps...both?"
"Mixed doubles?" Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "That's right, he really deserves a beating."
"Aren't you even a little bit curious about my brother's return to China?"
Wen Xi remained calm because she was familiar with Wen Zhou's personality and trusted him greatly.
Shang Chen didn't ask a single question; he was too calm.
Shang Chen: "The Wen family's official website just announced that you and Yan Zhao were switched at birth."
"The Wen family had kept quiet about the children being switched at birth, so the sudden public announcement can only mean that your brother has returned."
As for the dowry, Shang Chen didn't mention it.
Wen Zhou had told his sister in advance about the surprise he was going to give her, which would be a real disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Wenxi felt a heavy weight in her heart, and a touch of bitterness.
Before Wenxi could even begin to reminisce, Shang Chen suddenly asked, "When are we going to meet the parents?"
Wenxi looked up, a half-smile on her face, and teased, "Haven't we already met each other's parents?"
Shang Chen said solemnly, "It's different."
In Wenxi's heart, Wenzhou is probably the only one who can be considered her true family.
Wenxi: "I don't know, I have to wait for my brother to tell me."
“My brother has been abroad for almost three months this time, which is much longer than before.”
“I know his personality; he likes to plan things out before acting. He may not have been abroad for the past three months. He may have come back ahead of time and been investigating the cause and effect of the baby swap, and may have even thought about how to deal with all the problems.”
So when Wen Zhou returned, he didn't contact Wen Xi first, and Wen Xi guessed that he wanted to deal with the people and things in the Wen family first.
When Wen Zhou really wants to see her, he will send her a message.
After listening, Shang Chen calmly concluded: "You siblings have a great understanding and trust each other."
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Shang Chen then added, "We should have this kind of tacit understanding between us."
Wenxi: "..."
Shang Chen's attacks have been quite strong lately, and she's struggling to keep up.
