Chapter 61 Jealousy
Shang Chen held Wen Xi's feet and slowly let go. "It's on."
Wenxi lowered her head, her gaze falling on her ankles.
Platinum jewelry has a cool, refreshing feel, and the purple diamonds on it emit a soft glow. The dangling chain makes the wrist appear slender and the skin as white as snow.
Wenxi suddenly asked, "Is it pretty?"
Shang Chen: "It suits you very well."
Wenxi really suits purple, and also anklets.
Wenxi wanted to tease Shang Chen.
She suddenly lifted her foot, and her foot landed lightly on Shang Chen's shoulder from his knee.
Shang Chen looked up in surprise, catching a glimpse of white out of the corner of his eye, and his vision darkened.
After a moment, he said seriously, "Wenxi, your clothes are up."
Wenxi instinctively tried to put her legs down.
However, he was caught by Shang Chen halfway there.
The world spun around her, and Wenxi's gaze fell on the ceiling.
Shang Chen held her ankle and placed her foot on his shoulder.
His voice was deep and hoarse.
"Xixi, hold on tight."
The hem of the black shirt was wide, falling down to the waist and being pressed down beneath her body.
He bent down and lowered his head.
A gentle kiss landed, sending shivers down my spine, from my skin to my bones.
Wenxi's fingers tightened, and she subconsciously gripped the bed sheet, tilting her head back to endure.
Shang Chen... he's really outrageous.
Her fingertips landed on Shang Chen's neck, feeling his pulse, strong and powerful.
Wenxi's toes curled up, and she suddenly gently pinched his ear with her fingers, gritting her teeth softly: "Where did you learn that from?"
As soon as she spoke, Wenxi realized how strange her voice sounded.
Shang Chen took the time to answer her.
"That movie from last time."
Wenxi then remembered the movie he had seen on his private jet.
Wenxi leaned against Shang Chen's chest, her consciousness drifting, and she didn't know when it would end.
Her hair was wet again and scattered around the bed.
She vaguely remembered Shang Chen gently kissing her earlobe and saying in a deep voice, "Wenxi, I wanted to buy the anklet myself."
This has nothing to do with Assistant Wu.
Wenxi: "..."
The next day, unsurprisingly, I woke up late.
When Wenxi opened her eyes, she saw a large black square gift box placed beside her bed.
A vase of vibrant red roses sat by the bedside.
Wenxi thought of last night, Shang Chen's breath brushing against her neck: "Wenxi, do you like roses?"
Wenxi was a little confused at the time and blurted out, "I like it."
Seeing the roses by the bedside, Wenxi realized that Shang Chen might have smelled the rose scent on her last night.
After washing up, Wenxi opened the gift box and took a look.
It's a set of jewelry that matches the anklet from yesterday; roughly estimated, it's worth thirty to forty million.
Putting everything else aside, the business owners are all very generous.
When Wenxi went downstairs, she thought Shang Chen had already gone to the company, but she saw him sitting in the restaurant.
"You didn't go to the company?"
Shang Chen turned around upon hearing this, "No rush, let me have breakfast with you."
Wenxi's gaze unconsciously fell on his thin lips, staring for a few seconds before casually looking away.
Wenxi sat down opposite him, picked up a sandwich, took a bite, and calmly said, "Watch less of those messy movies in the future."
Shang Chen paused in his coffee-drinking motion, then calmly stated a fact.
"You like it."
He spoke softly and calmly, as if he were saying that the coffee tasted good today.
Wenxi, biting into her sandwich, froze: "..."
She really couldn't deny it.
Moreover, Wenxi is not a hypocrite.
"I don't like anklets, they're prickly to wear."
Shang Chen put down his coffee cup, looked up at her, and said, "Then take them off, and wear them later."
The meaning of "afterwards" is unclear, but Wenxi understood it.
Wenxi found Shang Chen a bit infuriating.
However, she was broad-minded and didn't hold it against him.
Why are you so relaxed today?
"I had a meeting this morning, so there's no rush."
Wenxi: "...No wonder he's a workaholic."
Their physical condition is indeed quite good; they can withstand such exertion.
Wenxi thought about it and decided to go to the gym in the afternoon.
She has a strong personality and cannot accept losing, let alone losing in a bad way.
After breakfast, Wenxi brought up something, "I'm planning to meet with Yan Zhao."
Shang Chen looked up at her.
Wenxi: "Let's settle accounts with her."
"She brought my husband to catch me cheating, and then she just walked away without paying any price?"
Shang Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't catch you cheating."
Wenxi: "I know, she wanted to catch you cheating."
Shang Chen glanced at Wen Xi with a long, quiet look.
"I'm also planning to go to the Lu family and have a chat with Lu Jinghuai."
Wenxi was taken aback, then chuckled: "We're quite in sync."
Shang Chen said seriously and calmly, "Lu Jinghuai needs to keep his wife in check."
Wenxi definitely had no objections.
She only remembered when she was about to make a call that she didn't have Yan Zhao's phone number.
Wenxi asked Shang Chen, "Send me Yan Zhao's phone number."
Shang Chen gave her his number, but Wen Xi couldn't get through when she called, so their conversation had to be postponed.
As soon as I arrived at the law firm, Le Hui from the administration desk called Wenxi over.
She leaned closer to Wenxi: "Wenlu, breaking news."
“Attorney Jiang made sarcastic remarks about you during his live broadcast last night, and even used you as a case study to deliberately stir up trouble for you.”
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "You're trying to seduce me?"
"Yeah, they always say sarcastic and cynical things."
"They say you have a good education, so the director favors you. He gives you the first case to go, and everyone else picks what's left over. They even have to watch your face."
"She created an image of you as an incompetent, arrogant, and bullying rich second-generation, and she also stirred up trouble, trying to make netizens think that you led the other people in the law firm to isolate her."
Wenxi: "Is she free lately?"
Le Hui shrugged. "I think she's jealous that you were able to get Zhou Yuan's divorce case so easily."
"Once this case is over, you'll be famous."
"She's always been jealous of your education and abilities. Before, she only dared to mention it in passing, but last night during the live stream, she said a lot. She even said that you brought your husband to the law firm to show off, treating the firm like your own home, and portrayed your husband as a rich, balding, beer-bellied old man..."
As she spoke, Le Hui burst out laughing.
"Everyone in the law firm has met your husband. He's tall, handsome, and well-mannered. I think she's just jealous of you; she's so jealous her eyes are red."
“Wen Lu, don’t take this as me talking nonsense. If you don’t believe me, you can go and watch her live stream.”
"There's already some online discussion going on. She's a blogger with millions of followers now. If we really start a war of words, it will definitely have a significant impact on you."
After listening, Wenxi nodded, "Thanks, I'll treat you to lunch."
Le Hui laughed and said, "I want to have a big meal!"
"Can!"
"I'll send you a clip of the video of her making fun of you later."
Wenxi gave an OK sign.
I ran into Attorney Jiang as soon as I went up to the second floor.
She was scolding her assistant: "What kind of proxy language is this?"
"It has no substance whatsoever, just a string of nonsense. Even as a judge, I have no idea what you're trying to say!"
The young girl followed closely behind her, head down, and asked softly, "Jiang Lu, how should I change it?"
"Go back and figure it out yourself."
