Chapter 64 Dream on
Despite his inner rage, Shen Jiheng maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, determined not to lose face.
Shen Jiheng smiled calmly and said, "Han Xi doesn't eat these things, so you'd better take them with you, otherwise I'll throw them in the trash and it will be a waste of your good intentions."
Bo Siye walked up to him and whispered provocatively, "How come I didn't know before? You're so petty. You don't know how to cherish your own wife, but someone else will."
Shen Jiheng clenched his fist and said sarcastically, "You're pathetic too. You're destined to be stuck with someone else's wife all your life. Who told me to be her man?"
Bo Siye's face was terribly gloomy, and Shen Jiheng patted him on the shoulder.
"You're a perfectly normal person, you don't have any special fetishes, why do you have to be eyeing what's in someone else's bowl? If you can't find a girlfriend, I can help you introduce someone."
"Shen Jiheng, your mouth is still as annoying as ever."
Shen Jiheng smiled, clearly having successfully turned the tables.
"That's for dealing with people you dislike, you should understand."
The tension in the office grew stronger, and Han Xi was afraid that the two of them would start fighting at any moment.
Seeing her troubled expression, Bo Siye suppressed his anger.
"Han Xi, I'll be going now. See you next time."
Han Xi nodded awkwardly. She originally wanted to see him off, but Shen Jiheng stopped her and warned her with his eyes not to meddle.
Thinking of those unflattering photos of Shen Jiheng on her phone, Han Xi could only laugh at his serious expression now.
Regardless of her expression, Shen Jiheng quickly locked the door as soon as Bo Siye left.
"Do you really need to do this?"
"Yes, I hate this person."
Han Xi said seriously, "What a coincidence, I also hate you, so you should leave too."
Shen Jiheng was already angry, and hearing her say that made him even angrier.
"Han Xi, I'm warning you, I don't care if you really like Bo Siyue or you're just trying to annoy me, you better keep your distance."
“Shen Jiheng, do you know how ugly you look? What makes you think you can make demands of me? Let me tell you, I am free to do whatever I want, and it’s none of your business.”
Shen Jiheng's eyes were filled with anger. Just now, she had clearly seen her chatting and laughing with Bo Siye, and they seemed to be very close. But she was cold and indifferent to him.
Han Xi didn't want to argue with him, so she quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
"You can go now, I still have work to do."
"Why didn't you say these things when he was here? I think you're targeting me."
"I can't control what you think, but don't come to my law firm again."
Shen Jiheng was amused and annoyed. What a Han Xi! She gave him the order to leave for that man and even dared to forbid him from appearing.
"Han Xi, you really didn't disappoint me."
Shen Jiheng turned and left. All she did was force him to divorce so he could make a new choice.
How could Shen Jiheng possibly let her have her way?
Back in the car, Qin Chuan asked anxiously, "How did it go, President? Did you reach an agreement with your wife?"
"...We didn't talk about it."
Shen Jiheng then remembered that he had come to see Han Xi today because he had something important to discuss with her.
Seeing her with Bo Siyue ignited his anger, and he forgot the purpose of his trip.
Qin Chuan frowned and said, "If the president finds it difficult to speak up, why don't I talk to his wife? She's reasonable and will definitely agree."
Shen Jiheng waved his hand: "Don't meddle. I'll go to her apartment tonight."
Qin Chuan saw this as another opportunity for him to get closer to Han Xi, but his boss would be much more effective if he were just sincere.
"I think the president should prepare some surprises for his wife to bring them closer together; that would make things easier."
Shen Jiheng rolled his eyes at him and said arrogantly, "I don't need you to remind me of this. I can arrange it myself."
Qin Chuan nodded awkwardly, hoping he wouldn't mess things up again.
Han Xi didn't get back until 8 p.m. After all, she had just returned to the law firm and there were still some things she wasn't clear about, so she worked overtime to learn more about the situation.
Now that Gu Hanxi has disappeared, this case cannot proceed, so we have to take on other cases.
Han Xi opened the door and found the lights were on. She clearly remembered turning off the lights when she left home in the morning.
There was still movement inside. She picked up the baseball bat she had placed at the door for self-defense and slowly walked in. To her surprise, she saw Shen Jiheng preparing dinner. Of course, it was cooked food that he had brought. Otherwise, how could the eldest young master of the Shen family, who never lifted a finger to cook, be cooking?
That's not the point. Han Xi stepped forward angrily.
"Shen Jiheng, how did you get into my room?"
Shen Jiheng replied with a smile, "Of course I asked the property management for the key. I'm your legal husband, and I said I wanted to give you a surprise, so they gave me the key."
Han Xicai didn't believe it. "I think you're threatening them to force them to give you the key."
When Han Xi first rented the apartment, she was worried that Shen Jiheng would try to break in, so she specifically instructed the property management staff not to give him the key.
But no one can stop this person from doing what they want; they must have used underhanded methods to get it.
Shen Jiheng smiled calmly and said, "That's not important. I asked Aunt Wang to make your favorite food, but it's all cold. How do you use an induction cooker?"
He was so busy with his work that he didn't care whether Han Xi was angry or not.
Seeing his flustered state, Han Xi sighed and, to prevent him from ruining the kitchen, had no choice but to help.
"If a rich young master like you were thrown onto a desert island, you'd definitely starve to death. You can't even do something this simple."
"Isn't it enough that you're teaching me?"
"You wish."
Han Xi reheated the food he had brought, and Shen Jiheng went to get a bottle of fine wine.
"Let's have a good drink tonight."
Han Xi couldn't help but glance at him. Shen Jiheng was acting strangely today; his inexplicable gentleness made her feel uncomfortable.
At the dinner table, Shen Jiheng took the initiative to serve her food and talked about lighthearted topics. The more deliberate he was, the more Han Xi felt that something was wrong.
"Eat more, you've lost weight living outside."
How could he possibly care about that?
Han Xi did not believe it.
"Two of my friends' companies are looking for legal help to resolve their issues, and I recommended you. They should be coming to see you tomorrow."
"...You'll help me find business?"
This is really strange. What on earth is Shen Jiheng up to?
"Yes, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. We can help each other and benefit each other."
Something's not right. Could it be that Shen Jiheng has been possessed today? He doesn't seem like himself at all.
What Han Xi didn't expect was that Shen Jiheng offered to wash the dishes after the meal, but he was so clumsy that he broke two bowls. Han Xi was worried that if he continued like this, all her furniture would be gone.
"That's enough, Shen Jiheng, let me go. Just sit on the sofa and don't move. Let me clean up."
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "I didn't know housework was so troublesome before. You've really worked hard."
Han Xi shuddered, goosebumps rising on her skin. No one visits a temple without a reason, and given Shen Jiheng's bizarre actions, she was certain something was up.
After Han Xi finished her work and sat down opposite him, she asked seriously, "What exactly did you come here to tell me today?"
Shen Jiheng stubbornly shook his head: "Can't we, as husband and wife, cultivate our feelings for each other? You're overthinking it."
