Chapter 169 'Deep Efforts, Deep Resentment'
Before Shang Chen could figure it out, the dishes started to arrive one after another.
He had just helped Wenxi set out her chopsticks when Wenxi pushed a bowl of noodles in front of him.
Would you like some vinegar?
Shang Chen raised his eyes, his dark gaze fixed quietly on Wen Xi. "Give me a little."
If he still doesn't understand at this point, he's not just old-fashioned, he's rigid.
Wenxi picked up the vinegar bottle and poured him some: "Want some more?"
Shang Chen was silent for a moment: "...Xi Xi, are you jealous?"
He still couldn't figure out the reason.
Wen Xi calmly replied, "It is a little sour."
If she hadn't been afraid of wasting food, she would have poured half a bowl of vinegar for Shang Chen so he could try the taste of vinegar-dressed noodles.
Although Shang Chen didn't know the reason, he still indulged her: "Would you like some more?"
"Forget it," Wenxi said. "Interrogate them first, then sentence them."
Shang Chen sat up straight, looking serious and earnest, and said, "I will cooperate fully."
When Wenxi saw his composed and serious old-fashioned demeanor, she immediately lost her temper.
Despite trying to keep up with the times, Shang Shen is still fundamentally rigid and will reveal his true colors when faced with a problem.
Wenxi put down the vinegar pot and calmly asked, "You've been dressing up and wearing perfume every day these past few days just to see my brother?"
Wenxi had already asked this question, but Shang Chen still answered it very seriously.
"yes."
"Why?"
Shang Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is the first time I'm meeting you, brother. Didn't you say I should dress more formally?"
Wenxi only remembered that she had said that after Shang Chen reminded her.
At the time, Shang Chen mistakenly thought that she disliked his taste, and he felt secretly wronged for a while.
It turns out that Shang Chen remembered Wen Xi's reminder, but applied it all to her brother.
Wenxi: "For the first meeting, you should definitely dress formally to leave a good impression."
"But you and my brother are already familiar with each other..."
Suddenly dressing so formally makes it hard not to overthink things.
Shang Chen said very seriously, "Then I should dress more formally. I need to leave a good impression on my elder brother; he'll be more satisfied with me that way."
Wenxi remained silent.
"Okay, I'll give you a passable answer." Wenxi paused, then realized, "You wear perfume specifically for my brother to smell?"
"To make a good impression?"
Shang Chen: "..."
Why is Wenxi so surprised that she just sprayed on some perfume?
Wenxi saw through his thoughts and said seriously, "We've been married for six months, and you haven't worn perfume once."
"You don't wear perfume when you meet your wife, but you wear perfume when you meet your brother-in-law."
Wenxi said, half-jokingly, "Chenchen, your behavior is very easy for people to misunderstand."
Shang Chen seemed to understand but not quite, and he also recalled Wen Xi's sudden question that day: "When you asked me 'whose perfume I smell like' that day, were you teasing me?"
Wenxi nodded seriously, "Playing with memes."
"Playing with memes?"
There's a song called "Poisonous Perfume," you can listen to it when you have time.
Shang Chen wrote it down very carefully.
This time, Wenxi tried to tease him with a joke, but he didn't understand it again.
After noting this down, Shang Chen launched a counterattack: "Xi Xi, so you're jealous of your older brother?"
Wen Xi's smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Is that not allowed?"
"Okay." Shang Chen nodded seriously: "I'm very happy."
"Your jealousy means you care about me a lot."
Wen Xi smiled and rested her chin on her hand as she quietly observed Shang Chen.
This is probably why she's growing to like Shang Chen more and more?
Wenxi, holding the vinegar in one hand, poured some more for Shang Chen, saying, "Of course I care about you."
I care as much as I care, but I can't do without vinegar.
Shang Chen stared at the bowl of noodles, then picked up his chopsticks and took two bites without changing his expression.
"XiXi, I can feel your concern."
"It's quite sour."
He added, "It's also very sweet."
Wenxi was slightly taken aback, and a hint of a smile appeared on her cool and aloof eyes.
Their married life is quite interesting.
Seeing her smiling happily, Shang Chen slowly confessed, "Is Big Brother testing me?"
Wen Xi remained calm: "He said he wants to test you?"
Shang Chen shook his head: "He didn't say, but I vaguely guessed something."
Wenxi immediately realized: "So you've been dressing up so extravagantly in front of my brother these past few days to show off?"
Shang Chen frowned slightly.
What does 'dressed up in a flamboyant manner' mean?
In Xixi's eyes, is this how he's been these past few days?
Wen Xi smiled and placed a few pieces of food on Shang Chen's plate, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, my Chenchen."
"I'll edit the comment on my WeChat Moments later."
Shang Chen: "?"
"Let's change it to 'Deeply aggrieved, yet working hard'."
Shang Chen was silent at first, then helpless.
His handsome, composed face revealed a helpless yet doting affection for Wenxi.
After the 'torture and forced confession' was over, the two began to eat formally.
Shang Chen served Wen Xi a bowl of soup.
Wenxi casually said, "My brother said you've been a bit clingy these past few days."
Shang Chen didn't quite understand Wen Xi's meaning. "Me, clingy?"
"Stick to him."
These two words successfully silenced Shang Chen.
Shang Chen: "...I have indeed seen my elder brother a few more times these past two days."
Shang Chen simply wanted to learn more from Wen Zhou, but she didn't expect Wen Zhou to find her clingy.
Shang Chen never imagined that this word would be used on himself in his entire life.
Wenxi peeled a shrimp for him, "Don't mind my brother, he just loves to tease people..."
Shang Chen responded quickly and considerately, "I know, brother is just saying one thing and meaning another."
Wenxi: "?"
"He complains that I'm clingy, but he's probably actually quite happy about it."
Wenxi looked completely bewildered.
It seems she's led Shang Chen a little astray?!
Wenxi was still a little out of sorts after finishing her meal.
Shang Chen opened the car door and let Wen Xi get in first.
Wenxi had just sat down when Shang Chen, who hadn't left, stood by the car door and said, "Xixi, you glanced at me several times just now."
Was there something wrong with my answer?
Wen Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, a smile playing on her lips: "No problem."
"I just feel... you always manage to give me unexpected surprises."
"Do you want to kiss me?"
Wenxi: "..."
She was almost overwhelmed.
Wen Xi smiled calmly: "I kind of want to."
Shang Chen nodded slightly: "Wait until we get home."
"There are too many people outside, it wouldn't be good if they saw us."
Wenxi: "...You should get on the bus now."
Shang Chen's occasional lack of romantic understanding is also a bit worrying.
As soon as the car started moving, Shang Chen suddenly said to Assistant Wu, "Let's play a song."
Assistant Wu was somewhat surprised, but still asked, "What song would President Shang like to hear?"
Wenxi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Shang Chen: "The perfume is poisonous."
Wenxi: "..."
Assistant Wu: "..."
Is the gentleman obsessed with perfume lately?
As soon as the familiar, nostalgic tone came out, Wenxi leaned back in her chair and pretended to be asleep.
Once you're asleep, none of this will be awkward at all.
At first, Shang Chen listened to the lyrics very attentively.
As he listened, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
When I heard, "You smell of her perfume on you. It's my nose that's sinned; I shouldn't have smelled her beauty..."
Shang Chen said to Assistant Wu expressionlessly, "Turn it off."
He already understood the meaning of Wen Xiwan's words that day.
Xixi suspected that he was jealous because he was wearing perfume for someone else.
Shang Chen... was quite happy.
As soon as the sound stopped, Shang Chen took out a blanket and covered Wen Xi with it.
Wenxi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she was about to open her eyes to take a look.
Shang Chen's aura drew near.
A soft breath brushed against her lips, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.
She suddenly opened her eyes, a look of surprise flashing across them.
Shang Chen maintained a suitable distance, his gaze calm and composed. "Next time you want to kiss me, I'll let you."
"I'm not going to wear perfume anymore."
Wenxi's gaze fell on Shang Chen's lips.
I really want to kiss him.
