Chapter 10, Chapter 134: If 2: Who will be the main wife...?
The screenshot shows his conversation with Li Xing'en.
Jin Chuwan picked up her phone and glanced at it. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen Jiang Chen send such a long message.
However, he remained quite calm, only saying that Li Xingen's posts on social media were inappropriate and would put pressure on her, and advising her to pursue someone openly and honestly, rather than using underhanded tactics to force her to submit.
Kim Cho-wan suppressed her guilt and continued reading.
Xing En's reply made her feel that Jiang Chen was using fake screenshots to deceive her.
"She and I are deeply in love; it's none of your business."
So get lost.
"After all these years, you should know better than to be so blunt. Do you really have to say it outright? She has no feelings for you."
"...As for methods, I think some people are the ones who are truly righteous; don't mistake relentless pursuit for honesty..."
Jin Chuwan read it over and over again, unable to believe that Li Xing'en had said those words, but Jiang Chen…
Jiang Chen wouldn't stoop to fabricating such a thing.
The man beside her turned to look at her. His expression was relatively calm, and he seemed unaffected by those words. However, his eyes were dark and deep, and although he was smiling, they made Jin Chuwan feel pressured.
"Although Li Xing'en isn't usually anything special, his decisiveness this time makes it seem like... something really did happen?"
Kim Cho-wan was getting nervous about his questions.
She struggled for a while, clutching her drunken head, before finally telling Jiang Chen everything that had happened last night and this morning.
She genuinely didn't remember, and after taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen still lightly tapped Jin Chuwan's forehead with his knuckles.
"You look very well-behaved, but you're actually incredibly daring. You'll get me into a huge mess without me even realizing it..."
"Let's see if you'll drink next time."
No matter what, the fault lay entirely with her, and Jin Chuwan lowered her head, letting Jiang Chen accuse her.
But he didn't say anything more, he just sighed and asked.
"So, what do you plan to do now?"
Li Xing'en believed a phone call from a drunk person, and not only believed it but also quickly made it public overnight. Jiang Chen wouldn't believe it if there wasn't some scheming involved.
But Jin Chuwan seemed to remember nothing, making it impossible to verify anything. In the current situation, whatever Li Xing'en said was the truth, and no one could refute it.
"I don't know either. My head still hurts a lot, and my mind is a mess. I..."
Just as Jin Chuwan finished speaking, Jiang Chen moved over and massaged her forehead.
The soothing touch, with just the right amount of pressure, made Jin Chuwan close her eyes involuntarily. She couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined you were so caring. I always thought you were unapproachable and difficult to get along with..."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly upon hearing this, but didn't explain anything. He simply helped Jin Chuwan lie down on his lap.
"Don't think about things that are giving you a headache. What's done is done. And since it's a misunderstanding, let's clear it up. Of course, I know you don't want to hurt him, so let's take it slow... We'll find a suitable opportunity to explain things later, but right now we're in a very sensitive situation, so let's just..."
Perhaps it was Jiang Chen's superior massage skills, but Jin Chuwan unconsciously became sleepy again.
She heard the man's helpless yet steady voice, which seemed to brush against her ear like flower petals.
"I guess I'll just have to make do for now... by being your secret lover..."
lover?
Instinctively, Jin Chuwan wanted to refute, she wanted to say that they were not lovers yet, at least not to that extent, and that Jiang Chen was changing the subject, but she opened her mouth but no sound came out, she just murmured two words and fell asleep.
After confirming that Jin Chuwan was asleep, Jiang Chen propped himself up on his arms and leaned back. His legs started to feel slightly numb from sitting cross-legged for so long, but he didn't dare to move. He could only use one hand to loosen his tie and throw it aside.
The phone lay quietly on the table. Jiang Chen glanced at the small table, then reached out and picked it up.
The screen suddenly lit up, and Jiang Chen tapped the screen a few times, returning to the chat page with Li Xing'en.
During the lengthy exchange of greetings, Jiang Chen scrolled to the screenshot section and then closed the page.
He looked down at the person in his arms, whose long eyelashes were lowered. Sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, falling on the man's profile, neck, and slightly open chest.
Everything seemed both tranquil and enigmatic.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen finally couldn't hold on any longer and slowly fell asleep on the table.
Because of Li Xingen's message, he barely slept a wink last night. He called Jin Chuwan, but she didn't answer, and she didn't reply to his messages either. He waited until dawn before bringing breakfast to find her.
Fortunately, it wasn't the worst outcome.
After hearing the explanation, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he also found Li Xing'en increasingly annoying.
Although their industries were not in competition, he couldn't help but want to do something to make him nervous.
Just like the methods Li Xing'en used to use on him.
Jiang Chen spent almost the entire day at Jin Chuwan's place, even taking her phone and reading through all the "congratulatory text messages" she had received. Jin Chuwan had no idea how to reply to those messages, so after warning Jiang Chen not to reply carelessly, she put her phone aside.
After returning to China, she originally wanted to start her own business, but the offer from the Cheng siblings was too good to pass up, so she ended up joining the legal department of the Cheng Group's headquarters.
Money isn't important; what's important is that the job isn't complicated, the pay is good, there are plenty of holidays, and there's a big boss backing you up.
Kim Cho-wan often felt that this was enough for her life.
But life can't always be smooth sailing.
For example, right now, dinner is over and the clock has struck 10:30. Jin Chuwan glanced at the man sitting on the sofa, reading a book and playing with her hair, but showing no intention of leaving.
"Um...aren't you supposed to be very busy?"
Jiang Chen chuckled softly, shifting his head to find a more comfortable position on Jin Chuwan's shoulder.
"Do you have any stereotypes? I have so many employees helping me. Except for major decisions and meetings, I don't need to worry about everything. Besides, I didn't start from scratch, and I'm not a key technical expert. I don't need to personally negotiate business, nor do I spend all my time in the R&D lab..."
Just as Jin Chuwan was about to be persuaded by him, she suddenly thought of something else.
"But Xing En personally negotiates projects. He didn't start from scratch, so why is he so busy?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the head on her shoulder lifted up, and those dark eyes gave her a deep look, but after a while it seemed as if it had let her go and lay back down.
"Him...? He wants a lot, so he's ambitious..."
As Jiang Chen spoke, a hint of mockery flashed across his handsome, aloof face.
He suddenly closed the book in his hand, his gaze fixed on Jin Chuwan's profile.
"I'm different. I don't want much. I just want to stay with the people I love."
Jin Chuwan put down her phone after listening. She turned to look at the man whose face clearly showed he wanted something, and then pushed his face away with both hands: "I told you, I'm not falling for your tricks. Sweet talk has no effect on me. Besides, this is just a studio apartment, there's no guest room for you. It's getting late, you should go home!"
Although Jin Chuwan spoke decisively, she was visibly blushing and nervous. Jiang Chen's gaze was deep, yet he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Those dark eyes flickered slightly, and almost instantly, Jin Chuwan felt something warm and soft brush against her palm. She hesitated for a few seconds before reacting. So she quickly withdrew her hand and moved away from the sofa where Jiang Chen was sitting.
She took a deep breath and glared at the man on the sofa.
"You... are you a human or a fox spirit?!"
Why do you always do things like this?
Jin Chuwan was at her wits' end. She felt her palms and face burning hot; she couldn't handle this kind of ambiguous situation at all.
But when she got serious, Jiang Chen looked at her as if he didn't know what he had done wrong. Just like now, with his head slightly tilted back, his dark eyes filled with confusion.
"Am I already a vixen in your eyes?"
Jiang Chen lowered his head again as he spoke, and just as Jin Chuwan was reflecting on whether he had gone too far, he raised his head again.
Jiang Chen reclined on the sofa, his head resting on his arm. At some point, his collar was almost completely open, and Jin Chuwan saw his exposed collarbone and skin, suddenly feeling that nowhere was right to look.
"I……"
"So, did I, this vixen, manage to seduce you?"
Jin Chuwan was stunned for a moment before she fully understood Jiang Chen's meaning when her apology was suddenly interrupted.
he……
He's really had enough.
Is it intentional because you know you're good-looking?
Jin Chuwan placed her hands on her sides and it took her a while to calm herself down.
"Jiang Chen, I think you..."
Jin Chuwan was pondering her choice of words when suddenly the doorbell rang.
Jin Chuwan glanced at the door, a little puzzled. Who would come looking for her this late?
Property management? They should all be off work by now, right?
She was about to go over and take a look when her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Jiang Chen didn't move much, but he stretched out his hand, raised his chin, and pointed to the phone that was still on the carpet.
"No need to look anymore. It must be Li Xing'en who came looking for you. He sent you a text message this afternoon, but you were sleeping then, so you probably didn't see it."
Jin Chuwan suddenly turned around to look at Jiang Chen, but he immediately said innocently.
"Don't look at me like that. I listened to you very well and didn't reply with a single word. It's just that he hasn't been able to contact you and was worried, so he came after me."
The doorbell rang again, this time more urgently than before.
Jin Chuwan pressed her forehead. At this point, she couldn't care less about anything else. She grabbed Jiang Chen's collar and pulled him up.
"I'm not going to argue with you right now, but you stay inside and don't come out!"
As Jin Chuwan spoke, she pushed Jiang Chen into her wardrobe. She didn't know why she was doing this; she just instinctively felt that she couldn't let the two of them meet.
Jiang Chen, however, seemed to be enjoying himself as he was pushed into the wardrobe. He sat inside with his knees drawn up to his chest, and his eyes were filled with a slight smile as he looked at him.
Jin Chuwan looked angry and slammed the cabinet door shut before he could say anything.
That's too much! Jiang Chen clearly knew Xing En was coming back, but he didn't tell her. He deliberately delayed, acting like he was waiting to be caught in the act.
She truly regretted explaining so much to him before.
As she was about to open the door, Jin Chuwan caught a glimpse of the coat and shoes hanging behind the door. She hurriedly put the shoes in the shoe cabinet and then took the coat down and threw it to the man in the closet.
Only after everything was settled did Jin Chuwan hurriedly open the door.
Outside, Li Xing'en was raising her hand, seemingly about to ring the bell again. The moment the handsome young man saw Jin Chuwan, his beautiful eyes immediately curved into a smile, and he took two steps forward and suddenly pulled Jin Chuwan into his arms.
Jin Chuwan felt his cheek gently brush against her neck.
"It's been a whole day, why haven't you replied to my messages? Do you know how worried I was..."
