Chapter 33 It wasn't that she got stronger, it was that President Shang went easy on her.
While Wenxi was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a rustling sound again.
She gradually came to her senses, her gaze following Shang Chen's strong and powerful arms upwards, and she suddenly felt a slight ache in her lower back.
It would be more suitable if Shang Chen could overcome his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Perhaps it's because the more times it happens, the stronger one's tolerance becomes?
Wenxi woke up in good spirits the next day and even went for a run early in the morning.
Shang Chen ran with her.
Wenxi: "Did you ask Auntie to put the roses in the vase?"
When she went downstairs, she saw a dazzling bouquet of red roses in the restaurant and immediately recognized it as the apology gift she had given to Shang Chen the night before.
"Um."
If Shang Chen wasn't mistaken, the bouquet Wen Xi gave him was probably hand-cut by her in the Yan family's flower shop.
The flowers she cut herself, and were also a gift of apology, couldn't just be left lying around.
Wenxi was indeed in a good mood when she saw the bouquet of flowers on the dining table.
Caught off guard, Shang Chen asked, "Are you still tired tonight?"
"Not bad," Wen Xi said calmly. "I think my physique has become stronger?"
Shang Chen gave her a deep look.
Wenxi understood it instantly at that glance.
It turned out to be her imagination; she hadn't become stronger, it was just that President Shang had gone easy on her.
Wen Xi: "As expected of President Shang, he keeps his word. He's truly impressive."
That deserves praise.
Shang Chen: "..."
After saying that, Wenxi accelerated and overtook Shang Chen.
But Shang Chen caught up with her in no time and reminded Wen Xi, "Let's have dinner together tonight."
Wenxi gave an OK sign, "I remember."
Forgetting last time was an accident, but forgetting again this time would be a bit disrespectful.
Shang Chen was finally satisfied.
He wanted to run a few more laps with Wenxi, but Wenxi stopped and said, "You continue, I'm going upstairs to take a shower first."
Shang Chen: "How about we run two more laps?"
Wenxi turned to look at him, a little puzzled.
Shang Chen: "I haven't run enough, so my stamina hasn't been up to par. If I add a few more laps, I won't sweat so easily anymore."
What started as a perfectly normal topic became somewhat unusual in the last sentence.
Wenxi decisively refused: "No. I still have to go to the law firm."
While eating breakfast, Wenxi belatedly realized that Shang Chen hadn't gone to the company yet.
He starts work early, and every time Wenxi finishes her run and sits down to have breakfast, Shang Chen is already getting ready to leave or has already left.
Wenxi: "Aren't you busy today?"
"It's alright," Shang Chen explained. "One of my appointments was canceled, so I'm not in a rush this morning. I can have breakfast with you."
Wenxi picked up a small tomato with her fork and ate it silently.
It was the first time the two of them had a proper breakfast together, and neither of them were talkative, so the dining environment was unusually quiet.
After finishing her meal, Wenxi suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, I took the jewelry Mom gave me apart. I really liked it."
"I chatted with her for a bit yesterday, and she asked us when we were coming home for dinner."
Last time, Ning Jin said how good Wenxi's mother-in-law was to her, but Wenxi didn't really feel it.
It wasn't until yesterday, when she had some free time and unpacked the packages and gifts at home, that she realized just how extravagant her new mother-in-law was.
As the saying goes, love is where money is.
She has received more than ten sets of jewelry so far, not to mention individual earrings and necklaces.
There are also many other perfumes, scarves, and bags.
No wonder the aunt urged her to open the package, otherwise the storage room might not have enough room.
Her mother-in-law treated her lavishly and didn't interfere in her married life. In return, Wenxi thought she and Shang Chen would go back to visit her more often.
Shang Chen: "I'm afraid I won't have time lately."
Wenxi nodded: "Okay, I'll go by myself when I have time."
Shang Chen knew that Wen Xi didn't like dealing with her relatives, so he added, "Go if you want to, and don't go if you don't want to. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
“I used to be so busy with work that I rarely went back to my old house throughout the year.”
Wenxi: "It's not difficult. My mother is good to me. I have nothing to do, so I'll spend more time with her."
A hint of doubt flickered in Shang Chen's eyes.
Wenxi told me about the gift.
Compared to the generosity of Shang's mother, the bracelet that Shang Chen gave her seemed rather insignificant.
After Wenxi went to the law firm, Assistant Wu drove to pick up Shang Chen.
Sitting in the Rolls-Royce, Shang Chen suddenly asked, "I'm going on a date with my wife tonight, and I'd like to give her a nice gift. Do you have any suggestions?"
Assistant Wu was somewhat flattered.
Mr. Shang is actually going to give his wife a gift?
The CEO even proactively sought his advice?!
After a moment of hesitation, Assistant Wu slowly began to speak: "I heard that the eldest son of the Lu family in Yuncheng has had a son. The eldest son of the Lu family generously gifted his wife a cruise ship, which caused a sensation throughout the country."
Shang Chen frowned slightly: "You want me to send a cruise ship to Wenxi?"
There's no problem, but Shang Chen feels that Wen Xi might not like it.
Assistant Wu coughed lightly, noticing that President Shang was not very satisfied: "This is a generous approach."
Shang Chen glanced at Assistant Wu indifferently.
Assistant Wu quickly added, "Gifts are not just about being expensive; they also have to touch people's hearts."
"Mr. Shang, do you know what your wife likes? Why not start with her hobbies, preferably something expensive that suits her taste?"
Shang Chen knew Wen Xi's preferences.
It wasn't that he was particularly familiar with Wenxi; it was simply that the resume Wenxi gave him during their first meeting was extremely detailed.
Shang Chen lowered his eyes: "Go and order a yacht, and the interior decoration... give me the design drawings later."
"Go and pick another good horse, and raise it at the Jiangnan Horse Farm for now."
The merchant's ancestral home is in Jiangnan, where he owns many businesses, including a private horse farm.
Assistant Wu: "Yes."
Shang Chen: "Have someone send me a few more jewelry designs suitable for the banquet. We need to finalize them before dinner."
The styles his mother gave him were youthful and trendy, with a strong sense of design, suitable for Wenxi's everyday wear.
Shang Chen stopped arguing with his mother and simply ordered two sets of high-end jewelry suitable for attending the banquet as gifts for Wen Xi.
Assistant Wu paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Shang, last time you gave the main card to your wife. If you use the card, she might receive a message."
If Wenxi had known beforehand, it wouldn't have been a surprise.
As his special assistant, he had an obligation to remind President Shang, just in case.
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi had just arrived at the law firm and was leisurely sipping the coffee that Shang Chen had given her.
She was unaware that Shang Shen was preparing a surprise dinner for her.
Bai Wei ran over, clutching documents, and exclaimed, "Lawyer Wen, big news!"
Wenxi: "If it's news about Yan Zhao, then shut up."
Wenxi has been doing well lately and doesn't want to hear any news about Yan Zhao, whether good or bad.
Bai Wei was taken aback, then chuckled awkwardly, "It's not Yan Zhao's."
She muttered to herself, "In your eyes, Wen Lu, do you think all I do is gossip?!"
Wen Xi didn't even look up, flipping through the documents on the table: "I have to meet with the person involved later, you only have five minutes."
Bai Wei quickly said, "Old Huang Xie just took on the divorce case of the Zhou family in Jiangnan. It was personally entrusted by Zhou Yuan's wife."
Wenxi suddenly had a bad feeling.
