Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio    Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhou Shen remained silent. He felt an extra surge of jealousy when faced with his love rival, Wen Jin. Coupled with the fact that his funding was cut off and he was confined due to Wen Jinâs actions, Zhou Shen was seething with anger.
Why would he even bother acknowledging Wen Jin?
âThe reservation was canceled?â Wen Jin stood there with a smirk, his hands casually in his pockets, and inquired.
Wherever Zhou Shen was displeased, Wen Jin seemed to be there to stab him.
As expected, Zhou Shenâs expression changed. He suffered a great blow to his ego. With a mix of existing grudges, Zhou Shen was ready to confront Wen Jin without a second thought.
Yu Anwan swiftly held back Zhou Shen before he could react, but even before she could speak, Wen Jin arched an eyebrow, observing Zhou Shen. His tone was dripping with provocation.
âIf President Zhou doesnât mind, you can join me in a private room. Thereâs an available seat.â Wen Jin casually extended an invitation.
His expression seemed to challenge Zhou Shen, indicating that anyone who didnât stay was a coward.
Zhou Shenâs irritation was palpable.
Yu Anwan furrowed her brows for a moment, subconsciously holding Zhou Shenâs hand. She couldnât believe Zhou Shen would act so abnormally.
Wen Jin was practically handing him a knife, and Zhou Shen still wanted to approach him, ready to be stabbed.
Yu Anwan had overestimated Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen snorted. âSure, President Wen invited me. If I donât go, wonât I be giving you face?â His tone was dripping with arrogance.
Yu Anwan rolled her eyes inwardly and was speechless.
What were Zhou Shen and Wen Jin playing? With a mere flick of his finger, Wen Jin could have easily outplayed Zhou Shen.
As soon as the words left Zhou Shenâs mouth, Lu Nanxin also felt uncomfortable. Lu Nanxin was happy that Wen Jin had invited her for a meal, but she never expected Yu Anwan to show up.
âPresident Zhou, please,â Wen Jin said politely.
Right in front of Wen Jin, Zhou Shen wrapped his arm around Yu Anwanâs waist and confidently led her toward the dining area.
Yu Anwan fell momentarily silent. She didnât protest. She simply looked at Zhou Shen.
Zhou Shen noticed Yu Anwanâs gaze on him and suddenly lowered his head to whisper into her ear, âIâve got your back. Shouldnât you smile at me?â
âWhat?â Yu Anwan raised an eyebrow lazily.
âYour ex-husband doesnât seem like a good person, and the woman standing beside him is a schemer.â Zhou Shen glared at Yu Anwan and playfully pinched her cheek.
Yu Anwan laughed in exasperation and directly swatted Zhou Shenâs hand away. âZhou Shen, are you using this as an opportunity for revenge against
âHmph, you got lucky this time. I didnât even take any money from your pocket,â Zhou Shen retorted with a smug tone. âI want to make your ex-husband suffer a loss as well!â
Yu Anwan responded with a soft âOhââŠ
What a naive thought. Even if Wen Jin bought this place, he wouldnât lose a single hair, let alone a meal.
However, Yu Anwanâs reason for not refusing wasnât about playing a childish game with Zhou Shen.
It wasâŠ
Seeing Lu Nanxinâs displeasure, Yu Anwan was secretly pleased.
This time, Yu Anwan was willingly leaning against Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen noticed this, and in response, he hugged her. The two of them couldnât have been more intimate.
Wen Jinâs expression slightly darkened as he observed their hushed conversation. However, he maintained his composure on the surface.
On the other hand, Lu Nanxin smiled and tried to lighten the atmosphere. âPresident Zhou and Miss Yu seem to get along well.â
Yu Anwan responded with a subtle smile but didnât say a word, walking over to Zhou Shen.
Lu Nanxin was feeling a bit embarrassed. Instinctively, she held Wen Jinâs hand and looked up at him, asking again, âJin, donât you think so?â
Wen Jin chuckled softly but didnât reply. He calmly walked into the restaurant.
Wen Jinâs reaction made Lu Nanxinâs expression even more complicated. However, she managed to keep her composure.
Nevertheless, Lu Nanxin gazed at Wen Jin with a hint of frustration. âJin, I donât like it when outsiders interfere with our meal.â
Wen Jin lowered his head to meet Lu Nanxinâs eyes and calmly explained, âThe Zhou family and the Wen family have always had a partnership. Zhou Shen is in Jiang City, and weâve met before. We canât ignore him. After all, Zhou Shen is Zhou Yanhengâs only son and the heir of the Zhou family. If you donât want to stay, Iâll have the driver take you back. We can go out for dinner another day.â Wen Jinâs message was clear.
Lu Nanxinâs frustration subsided upon hearing Wen Jinâs words. She looked at him with a hint of sadness and apologized, âIâm sorry⊠IâŠâ Her voice quivered as if she were about to cry again. âJin, I love you so much. With Yu Anwan here,
Iâm worried something might happen.â
âWhat are you afraid of?â Wen Jinâs gaze remained fixed on Lu Nanxin.
Lu Nanxin bit her lip and fell silent.
Wen Jin smiled gently and reached out to caress Lu Nanxinâs cheek. âThe news of our marriage has already been announced. What is there to worry about?â
Lu Nanxinâs expression softened at the mention of marriage.
Her tone also became more tender as she spoke, âDo we have to wait for Grandpa to come back?â
âThatâs what Grandpa wants,â Wen Jin replied in a calm tone.
Lu Nanxin fell silent.
Lu Nanxin was naturally unhappy about this change, but in front of Wen Zhanming, she dared not make a fuss.
âShall we go inside?â Wen Jin redirected the conversation.
Lu Nanxin responded with an acknowledgment, and the two of them proceeded toward the dining room.
Wen Jin was well aware that his gaze had been fixed on Yu Anwan and Zhou Shen the entire time. Observing their intimate interactions, Wen Jinâs lowered brows and eyes concealed deeper thoughts.
Inside the private room, the atmosphere appeared somewhat peculiar.
Zhou Shen had chosen some of the most expensive dishes, which surprised the waiter. However, Zhou Shen acted as casually as ever, thoroughly enjoying his meal.
Wen Jin merely cast a glance at the order, without making any comments. Zhou Shen responded to Wen Jinâs gaze with a playful tone. âPresident Wen, you seem quite concerned.â
Wen Jinâs smile held a hint of mischief. âPresident Zhou, feel free.â His grin took on a roguish quality. âMoney is not an issue. Is everything President Zhou ordered to Miss Yuâs liking?â
Seeing the table full of seafood, Wen Jin couldnât help but chuckle.
Yu Anwan couldnât handle such dishes, but if she started acting fussy, it would be a nightmare. She wouldnât even touch such a shelled creature if no one dealt with it properly for her.
During their time with the Wen family, Wen Jin had become well-acquainted with this fact.
Throughout their three years of marriage, Yu Anwan learned how to handle Wen Jin in the presence of Wen Zhanmingâs influence. Due to Wen Zhanmingâs pressure, Wen Jin often peeled prawns and crabs for Yu Anwan.
âDoes President Wen know Wanwanâs preferences so well? Arenât you concerned that Miss Lu might feel jealous?â Zhou Shen replied, his tone playful but insincere.
Lu Nanxin felt a wave of embarrassment.
Yet, when Zhou Shen refused to back down, his words were cutting.. âBy the way, Miss Lu, didnât President Wen say heâd register the marriage once you returned to Jiang City? Are you and President Wen already married?â
