Chapter 189 What Chen Chen Wanted, He Chen Chen Did
Wenxi paused for a moment, staring at the vase in her eyes, "How can you be so sure my brother will give you a vase next year?"
Wenxi should not test him; she should calmly observe him.
"Did you hear what my older brother and I said?"
Shang Chen is becoming more and more 'composed'.
Not only did they implement the principle of husband and wife working together, but they also learned to eavesdrop on people's conversations.
I wonder if he heard about the extra points?
Shang Chen immediately guessed what Wen Xi was thinking. "I wasn't eavesdropping, but my brother saw me."
Wenxi: "...I knew my brother's words were off back then."
They were setting a trap for her!
If Wenxi hadn't answered correctly back then, Shang Chenchen would have turned into Shang Cucu tonight.
Wenxi: "Besides the vase, what else did you hear?"
Wenxi was afraid that Shang Chen would hear her asking her brother about getting extra points.
Shang Chen's brows twitched slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I heard you and my older brother praising me."
It seems I haven't heard about the extra points.
Wenxi admired the vase for a while, then handed it to him, saying, "Alright, whatever you say."
"But don't put it near the head of the bed, it's easy to knock it over."
Shang Chen took the vase, and then, as if lost in thought, looked up at Wen Xi quietly.
When Wenxi met his gaze, she immediately fell silent.
After Wenxi finished showering, she saw Shang Chen still standing by the wine cabinet, admiring and fiddling with the vases.
She dried her hair. "Still haven't found a suitable place?"
Shang Chen turned around, "Why didn't you finish drying your hair before coming out?"
Without hesitation, Wenxi replied, "I want to see you as soon as possible."
Shang Chen: "..."
Is it that Wenxi likes him more and more, or that sweet words are becoming less and less valuable?
Wenxi can now easily come up with sweet words to coax him.
Shang Chen stepped forward and took the handkerchief from her hand. "Let me help you blow on it."
Wenxi: "Can you?"
Shang Shen honestly replied, "No."
Wenxi: "I'll do it myself."
Shang Chen: "Teach me, and I'll help you play it a few more times and you'll get it."
"Alright."
Shang Chen awkwardly helped Wen Xi blow-dry her hair.
The faint sound of a hairdryer could be heard in her ears as Shang Chen's fingertips gently ran through Wen Xi's slightly damp hair.
Wenxi was enjoying Shang Chen's services when she suddenly heard the man ask in a deep voice, "Did you blow-dry your hair, brother?"
Wenxi closed her eyes and said, "Of course I helped."
“When I was little, I was quite clingy and didn’t like my aunt to help me with many things. I only wanted my brother and my adoptive mother to help me.”
"I cut my hair short in junior high to study, and my brother never styled it for me again."
Shang Chen has always been good at extracting keywords: "How clingy?"
Wenxi glanced at Shang Chen in the warm breeze, then closed her eyes again as the wind blew.
A faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips: "You want me to cling to you?"
Having been husband and wife for so long, Wenxi could guess Shang Chen's little thoughts just by hearing his voice.
Shang replied calmly, "I want to."
"Then keep thinking about it."
Shang Chen: "...Xixi, you can change your WeChat message now."
Wenxi: "?"
"Let's change it to—Deeply desire it, deeply achieve it."
Is Shang Chen indicating that he will make Wen Xi cling to him?
This time, Wenxi was powerless to resist.
Wenxi: "...Chenchen, keep it up!"
Shang Chen nodded seriously: "Yes."
Wenxi suddenly realized: "Why are you asking me if my brother did my hair dryer?"
Shang Chen said seriously, "I'll learn from my older brother how to take care of you."
His tone was gentle, but his expression remained serious and composed, exuding an air of uprightness.
"You've never blow-dried Shang Mu's hair before?"
“We have a housekeeper at home.” Shang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness: “Shang Mu and Shang Ze are both afraid of me.”
"Sometimes, after Shang Mu washes her hair, she runs around everywhere, and Auntie chases after her. I'll put on a stern face and tell her to go back obediently."
Wenxi: "No wonder you're always so serious, you must have been so stern when you were little."
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi added, "If you want to learn from my brother, then you still have a lot to learn."
Shang Chen spoke up loudly: "Xi Xi, I'd like to make a suggestion."
"Tell me about it?"
Shang Chen: "My older brother and I are learning how to take care of you. Can you learn from Mom how to be affectionate with me?"
Wenxi: "..."
After going around in circles, they ended up back to the topic they had discussed during their honeymoon: how couples should get along.
Wenxi leaned back against Shang Chen's lap: "I'll take Chenchen's advice and try to learn from him."
Shang Chen turned off the hairdryer, cupped Wen Xi's chin in his hands, and bent down to give her a deep kiss on the lips.
Afterwards, his eyes darkened, but his expression remained as calm as ever.
"This is a reward."
Wenxi looked at him, panting slightly. Her bright eyes widened for a moment, then instantly filled with a starlight-like smile.
Shang Chen... his progress is really fast.
As Wenxi's fingertips touched the Microsoft bed sheet, Shang Chen leaned over her.
He slowly unbuttoned his pajamas, his expression serious. "Xixi, I'm browsing the news today."
"Um?"
Wenxi thought Shang Chen was referring to Lawyer Jiang and the news about her.
She raised her hand, her fingertips hooking around Shang Chen's collar.
Although he was in a subordinate position, he acted as if he were in control.
"Honey, do you think it's inappropriate to talk about this kind of topic right now?"
Shang Chen leaned down and kissed her collarbone lightly, then whispered in Wen Xi's ear.
"I read online that young couples nowadays call each other 'baby'?"
Wenxi was so surprised that she forgot to move.
Is this what you call 'news' regarding commercial submerged pipes?
Shang Chen continued, "So, what will we name our children?"
Shang Chen appeared to be humbly seeking advice.
The hot breath fell on Wenxi's ear, silently teasing her.
Wenxi's skin flushed slightly.
She suddenly pushed Shang Chen's shoulder, turning the two of them around.
Wenxi mimicked Shang Shen's earlier posture, kissing him from his throat to his ear, "Baby?"
The next second, his waist was restrained, the force seemingly penetrating to his very bones.
The next day, Wenxi went to the police station to visit Attorney Jiang and to handle a few cases at hand.
Shang Chen then called Shang Ze to his office for a private chat.
Shang Ze was suddenly summoned to the office and became restless.
He had sounded out his assistant, Wu, before coming in.
Assistant Wu said his brother was in a pretty good mood today.
He should be safe, right?
As soon as Shang Ze entered the office, he saw his brother's consistently serious and handsome face.
With thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes, his features were striking and aloof, making it difficult to discern his emotions.
How did Assistant Wu tell that his brother was in a good mood from his face?!
"elder brother."
Shang Ze called out in a tone that was both timid and somewhat obsequious.
Shang Chen looked up from the computer and glanced at him indifferently: "Sit."
Shang Ze's scalp felt tight.
His brother hadn't been this polite to him in a long time!
Shang Ze frantically recalled recent events, attempting to kneel down in advance to seek a lighter punishment.
Did his brother find out that he skipped work to watch Yan Xu's performance?
Shang Chen left Shang Ze to cool off for half an hour.
Shang Ze dared not play on his phone or look around carelessly; half an hour felt like an eternity.
After Shang Chen finally finished dealing with the matter, before he could even ask any questions, Shang Ze had already timidly confessed.
"Brother, I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
“I shouldn’t have gloated. I heard that Yan Xu was carrying goods, so I skipped work to see him make a fool of himself.”
Shang Chen: "..."
