Chapter 165 "Shang Chen, are you wearing perfume?"
Upon seeing the aunt, Wenxi immediately said, "Auntie, could you please pack two pieces of clothing for me? I need to go to Jiangbei this afternoon."
The aunt smiled and asked, "Is Madam going to Jiangbei with her husband?"
Wenxi paused, realizing that something was wrong.
Isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence?
Wen Xi said calmly, "Shang Chen hasn't left yet?"
The aunt nodded. "The husband was worried about his wife, afraid that she would have a fever again, so he stayed with her all morning, going in and out of the bedroom several times."
Wenxi: "Where is he?"
"I'm making brown sugar ginger tea in the kitchen, saying I need to drink it to ward off the cold."
Upon hearing this name, Wenxi suddenly felt a burning sensation on the tip of her tongue.
I had a very strong impression of the brown sugar ginger tea that Shang Chen made last time.
He wasn't trying to warm her up; he wanted to use ginger to kill all the pathogens.
Wenxi walked into the kitchen and saw Shang Shen chopping ginger.
Wenxi: "...Why haven't you gone to Jiangbei yet?"
Shang Chen turned around: "Why did you come down? If you're sick, you should lie in bed and rest."
Wenxi's gaze swept over the pair of ginger plants: "Answer me first."
Shang Chen: "The plane leaves at twelve o'clock."
"Is it too late?"
"There's still time."
Wenxi looked at him quietly: "I'm going to Jiangbei this afternoon too."
Shang Chen remained calm: "Then I'll have Assistant Wu buy the tickets, and we can go together?"
Wen Xi: "Shang Chen, behave yourself."
Wenxi crossed her arms and stared calmly at Shang Chen, adopting an attitude of "confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely."
Shang Chen: "Xi Xi, I'm very honest."
Are you so sure there are still plane tickets available?
"Don't you even need to ask?"
Shang Chen said without changing his expression, "This is what Assistant Wu is responsible for."
"You really aren't going to confess?"
Shang Chen went to Jiangbei in the afternoon, and just then she received a message from Director Huang that she had also been exiled to Jiangbei.
Wenxi couldn't help but think about it.
Under Wen Xi's gaze, Shang Chen still took the initiative to confess: "I told my older brother about your illness last night."
Wen Xi frowned: "Didn't you promise me..."
Wenxi stopped halfway through her sentence.
Shang Chen did not give her a direct answer.
Shang Chen: "My older brother guessed that you were going to the law firm today and asked me to stop you, but I don't want to delay your work."
"So you chose to contact my teacher?"
Shang Chen: "I consulted my master, and this is his suggestion."
Wenxi: "..."
No wonder the old man hung up the phone so quickly; he was feeling guilty.
Shang Chen called him "Master" so affectionately, even more so than Wen Xi.
Wenxi: "Have you bought the tickets?"
"I bought it."
Shang Chen remembered that the two of them had agreed to speak frankly, so he also spoke his mind.
Shang Chen said with a serious face, "Wenxi, I think your health is more important than your work."
Looking at his appearance, Wenxi thought that this must have been how he managed Shang Mu and Shang Ze in the past.
What did my brother say to you this time?
Shang Chen: "You said your health deteriorated because you worked too hard when you were doing non-litigation work."
Shang said in a deep voice, "Xixi, I want to take care of you until you get better."
It's not that you can't live without me, it's that I'm worried about you.
His serious and earnest demeanor left Wenxi speechless.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "So you want to turn me into a teddy bear and carry me around with you every day?"
Shang Chen remained silent for a moment before getting used to Wen Xi's description.
"I guess so."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "But I don't like being carried. I prefer being held."
After a moment of contemplation, Shang bent down and picked up Wenxi in a princess carry.
"is that so?"
Wenxi: "..."
Did she say it was this kind of hug?
The housekeeper peeked in and said, "Madam, everything is packed..."
Before the aunt could finish speaking, seeing this scene, she immediately shrank back.
Auntie: "I must have forgotten something. I'll go back and check."
Wenxi: "..."
In the end, Shang Chen drank half of the brown sugar ginger tea he brewed.
Because Wenxi refused to drink, Shang Chen, in order to coax her, unknowingly drank most of it himself.
After drinking it, Wenxi felt nothing, but he broke out in a sweat.
Wenxi asked her, "How does it taste?"
Shang Chen's expression darkened: "It's alright."
No matter how you brew brown sugar ginger tea, won't it always taste the same?
Wen Xi nodded: "It seems we don't have enough material yet."
Shang Chen belatedly realized that Wen Xi had done it on purpose.
"You don't like the brown sugar ginger tea I make?"
Wenxi: "Don't you think it's too spicy?"
"Only spicy food can induce a cold sensation."
Wenxi said calmly, "But it will make me feel bad."
Shang remained silent for a moment, clearly having taken it to heart.
"I'll put less next time."
Wen Xi smiled, quite satisfied.
This is her true depth.
Upon arriving in Jiangbei, Shang Chen immediately went to attend the meeting.
Wenxi tidied up and went to the Jiangbei Court to get the documents.
She had just received the case when Director Huang gave her another one.
The elderly man, with his sharp eyes and clear mind, only said one sentence: "The person involved is an internet celebrity. Because he wore the same outfit as another big internet celebrity at an event, he was led to cyberbullying by the big internet celebrity."
Wenxi understood and said, "Thank you, Master."
It seems the director also realized she was preparing to file a lawsuit for spreading online rumors.
After hanging up the phone, Wenxi went to meet with the person involved.
Wenxi didn't return to the hotel until 6 PM.
As soon as they got back, Shang Chen stared at her intently as she took her medicine with a serious expression.
Wenxi: "The fever has subsided. I'm completely better now, except for a slight cough."
Shang Chen: "Take your medicine first."
Wenxi: "..."
The next day, Wenxi woke up to find Shang Chen tidying his clothes in front of the mirror.
He was going to attend a summit, so he was dressed very formally.
As Wenxi approached, she smelled a faint fragrance.
Wenxi was unsure, so she sniffed carefully for a long time before asking, "Shang Chen, are you wearing perfume?"
