Chapter 57 "Married".
Shang Chen didn't trust Song Hezhou, but he trusted Wen Xi.
What Yan Zhao said might all be true.
Ke Wenxi looked at Song Hezhou with clear and open eyes, without a trace of personal feelings.
Her words and actions with Song Hezhou were also very proper and showed a great sense of propriety.
Shang Chen: "I believe you, and I believe my own eyes."
Wen Xi nodded slightly: "As for the reason why Brother Song and Lu Jinghuai fought, you just heard it too."
The idea that Song Hezhou beat up Lu Jinghuai for her sake sounds absurd.
Recently, Yan Zhao has not only started tattling, but has also learned to frame others.
Wenxi decided to find some time to 'talk' with Yan Zhao.
Shang Chen: "I heard you."
"And what about you?" Wenxi raised her hand and touched the gemstone earring on her right ear. It was cool and refreshing to the touch. "Do you have anything to explain to me?"
The two were very honest with each other after their marriage, so Wenxi would ask directly if she had any doubts.
Shang Chen: "You approved my meeting with Yan Zhao."
"Hmm." Wen Xi nodded: "I did approve it, but I don't think I approved your 'catching someone in the act'."
Shang Chen emphasized, "It was Yan Zhao who caught them in the act, not me."
Wenxi: "..."
Listen to these words, Yan Zhao caught her cheating.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Yan Zhao had feelings for her.
As Wenxi pondered this, she suddenly laughed. "Did Yan Zhao think that it was just me and Brother Song in the private room today?"
Shang Chen: "I guess so."
Wenxi said seriously, "At first, I said I would treat you to dinner and I was going to take you to meet people, but then I went to Jiangnan and stood Brother Song up."
"We made a second appointment, and Brother Song said he had some private matters to discuss, so it would just be the two of us. However, Brother Song later said that since I was married, it wouldn't be appropriate to meet alone, and asked me to bring an assistant."
"The personal matter Brother Song mentioned is his mother's case. He was thinking of entrusting the case to me, but I'm not very good at that type of case, so I brought along Lawyer Han from our firm, who specializes in this type of case, and recommended him to him as well."
Shang Chen changed the subject abruptly and asked, "Did you take on Shang Ze's case?"
Wenxi gave him a strange look: "I accepted it, as legal aid."
Shang Chen calmly asked, "Is it troublesome?"
"It's alright, not troublesome." Wenxi asked curiously, "Didn't you say you didn't want to talk about outsiders' affairs?"
"That was when we bought our wedding rings last time. They weren't suitable then, but they don't matter now."
Wenxi: "You really are Shang Ze's older brother."
The distinction between inside and outside is so clear.
Wenxi realized that the man was jealous.
Perhaps it's not jealousy, but rather a man's simple competitive spirit.
She didn't take Song Hezhou's case, but she did take Shang Ze's case.
Is the man satisfied?
Wenxi's gaze fell on Shang Chen's face, scrutinizing him carefully, trying to find a trace of other emotion.
Unfortunately, she failed.
Shang Chen remained excessively calm, revealing not a trace of his emotions.
Wen Xi teased Shang Chen: "President Shang's influence with me is a bit greater than Brother Song's."
Shang Chen wasn't oblivious to Wen Xi's 'bad' intentions, and calmly said, "So he's Brother Song, and I'm President Shang?"
Wenxi: "...Slip of the tongue, you've caught me red-handed."
Shang Chen smiled and calmly asked, "Want to have dinner together tonight?"
Wenxi: "?"
Their conversations always jumped around too quickly.
Shang Chen said calmly, "Last time, you said you'd make up for it by giving me two meals."
He's not tough at all, even though he's trying to collect a debt.
Otherwise, Shang Chen would have said that Wen Xi owed him two meals and that he had to eat with her.
Wenxi: "Okay."
"However, I always felt that there was something off about the atmosphere between us."
I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.
The two of them clearly didn't argue, misunderstand, or have any conflicts.
But Wenxi sensed a crisis in the marriage.
Shang said in a deep voice, "Don't overthink it."
Wenxi: "Bai Wei told me something."
"What's up?"
"If there are conflicts between husband and wife, there is nothing that cannot be resolved by doing it once. If it doesn't work the first time, then do it twice."
It was a very inappropriate remark, but Wenxi remembered it.
Shang Chen's expression remained calm, but Wen Xi caught a fleeting glimpse of surprise in his eyes.
Shang Chen: "Here?"
In public, in a car, downstairs at Zhongda Building... whatever the word, it sounds exciting.
These factors combined double the excitement.
"You really dare to dream!"
This time, it was Wenxi's turn to be shocked.
She looked at Shang Chen as if she'd seen a ghost, "I meant a different way."
Shang Chen looks so serious, but is his thinking really that terrifying?
Shang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "What method?"
"Give me a kiss?"
Before Wenxi could finish speaking, Shang Chen had already leaned down, captured her lips with his, and held her waist with his large hands.
The man's movements were gentle and delicate, his kisses both light and deep.
His fingertips caressed her cheek skin, leaving a sticky, intimate feeling.
This kiss was a little deep, and a little long.
Afterwards, Wenxi leaned against the window, breathing softly, her slightly reddened eyes sweeping over Shang Chen.
The two sat on either side of the back seat, calming their breathing.
It seemed like a standoff, yet also like they were deliberately creating distance between themselves.
Shang Chen remained calm and aloof throughout, and even in this situation, he maintained self-discipline and propriety to the extreme.
The extreme contrast makes it even more exciting.
Their eyes met unintentionally, and a tingling sensation seemed to spread through their limbs and bones.
Wenxi thought that she and Shang Chen had developed some feelings for each other after being married for a few months.
Wen Xi's expression was indifferent, her voice slightly teasing: "How about this method?"
Shang Chen took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "Very good."
How are you feeling?
It was as if the question was being asked about the kiss, or perhaps about how Shang Chen felt inside.
Wenxi has eyes that can see through people's hearts, and the ability to gently dispel people's negative emotions.
Shang Chen hesitated for a moment, "Try again?"
Wen Xi remained expressionless: "It seems the problem is solved."
Otherwise, why would I still have the mood to do it again?
Shang Chen tried to ease the tension: "You and your apprentice usually talk about this?"
In Shang Chen's eyes, the master-disciple relationship is usually followed by the words "respect for teachers and the way of the master".
Wenxi, without batting an eye, tried to deceive people: "You don't understand, this is the new era of master-disciple relationship."
Shang Chen: "..."
He really doesn't understand.
Wenxi took out a wet wipe from her bag and handed it to Shang Chen: "Wipe it off."
Shang Chen: "?"
You have lipstick on your lips.
After Wenxi finished speaking, she calmly touched up her makeup with a makeup mirror.
By the time she finished touching up her makeup, the ambiguous atmosphere had mostly dissipated.
Shang silently wiped his mouth with a wet tissue.
After Wenxi finished touching up her makeup, she asked, "Is it clean?"
Wenxi glanced at it briefly, "It's alright."
"I have other matters to attend to at my law firm, so I'll be leaving now."
Shang Chen: "I'm free this afternoon."
Wenxi turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Shang Chen: "Didn't you say you invited me to sit in on a meeting at your law firm?"
Wen Xi chuckled: "You've come here today to collect a debt?"
Make up for everything she said before.
Shang Chen nodded seriously: "Is it convenient?"
"It's very convenient, just in time for Director Liu's meeting later."
Wenxi Man looked forward to Shang Chen's post-meeting summary.
Before getting off the bus, Wenxi suddenly turned around and snapped back to reality, grabbed Shang Chen, and pulled out two wet tissues.
"Wipe it again, just in case."
Shang Chen: "..."
While wiping, Wenxi also took a careful look at Shang Chen's thin lips.
After all, you don't have a chance to look at someone while kissing.
Wen Xi said earnestly, "Shang Chen, your lips are really beautiful."
Shang Chen remained silent for a moment, unsure how to answer, yet unable to remain silent.
After thinking for a while, they politely complimented each other: "Yours looks good too."
Shang Chen was speaking from the heart.
Upon hearing this, Wenxi paused in her actions, glanced at him with a detached yet strange expression.
Shang Chen: "..."
Did he answer incorrectly?
Shang Chen disliked making mistakes, so he subtly changed the subject, "A lot of people like you?"
Wenxi folded the wet wipes and threw them in the trash can. "They're alright."
Wenxi looked up and explained again: "There are indeed quite a few, but there used to be a marriage proposal in the background, which is perfect for refusing people."
"Now……"
As Wenxi spoke, she raised her hand and waved it in front of Shang Chen, the diamond on her wedding ring radiating dazzling light.
"Married."
With those two words, Wenxi decisively pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Shang Chen looked down at the wedding ring on his finger.
So this is the real purpose of a wedding ring.
