Chapter 167: Baby

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Jun’s sudden change in perspective, from expressing doubts to defending love, left Xue Jiang slightly amused and bemused. He playfully rolled his eyes at Shen Jun’s seemingly contradictory stance, recognizing the unpredictable nature of love that often led people to lose their rationality.

After wrapping up her filming, Wen Nian exited the set, the time already past eight in the evening. As she made her way outside, she noticed Shen Jun’s car parked along the roadside, catching her attention.

As Wen Nian approached the car, she noticed Shen Jun holding a cigarette in his hand. It was mostly consumed, and the vibrant red glow of the cigarette butt stood out prominently in the darkness of the vehicle.

Wen Nian opened the passenger door and entered the car. The confined space was filled with the pungent odor of smoke, which immediately caused her to cough uncomfortably.

Shen Jun threw the cigarette into the car ashtray and opened the four windows to ventilate.

Wen Nian turned around and said in a low voice, “Smoking is not good for your health.”

Shen Jun paused in the act of drinking water and replied in a low voice, “Only occasionally.”

Shen Jun would only smoke when he was very annoyed. He didn’t expect Wen Nian to bump into him this time.

The two of them returned to the hotel room. Perhaps because of their argument, Wen Nian felt a little uncomfortable. “I’ll go to the washroom to remove my makeup first.”

After washing her face, Wen Nian looked at herself in the mirror and swallowed nervously. She told herself again about tonight’s conversation. “I didn’t cheat. Don’t look guilty! 1 just need to explain clearly.”

Wen Nian composed herself and walked towards the living room. She took a seat on the sofa, settling down beside Shen Jun.

Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian expressionlessly.

Wen Nian’s recently summoned courage waned. “You see, last night I had a bit too much to drink. 1 never intended to break up with you. 1 accidentally typed that message.”

Shen Jun then asked, “And you accidentally sent that message? It was all an accident?”

Wen Nian forced herself to nod. Although it sounded ridiculous, this is better than saying that she really wanted to break up at that time.

Shen Jun asked again, “This morning, you said that 1 didn’t care about your thoughts. Was that an accident as well?”

Wen Nian explained anxiously, “I was drunk last night. 1 only woke up when you knocked on the door, so I didn’t see your message.”

Shen Jun leaned against the back of the sofa. “Ha, I was standing so close to Jin Ting. You’re so angry that you didn’t even want to give me the time to explain. But when it’s you, you are allowed to not see my messages and drink with someone of the opposite gender.”

“Wen Nian, do you have a heart? Don’t you know how 1 treat you?! Do you trust me so little? It was like this last time, and it’s the same this time.”

Wen Nian scratched her head, feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the situation and unsure of how to start explaining the series of events.

Recognizing her own fault in the situation, Wen Nian could only focus on the aspects she could explain and responded with a feeble retort. “It’s not that 1 sought him out. He was feeling down and wanted to have a drink with me. I simply agreed to accompany him. 1 didn’t intend to get drunk—it was an accidental outcome.”

Shen Jun’s anger intensified, his breaths growing heavier. “Even if he was in a bad mood, why did you not think about how I would feel if I found out that you and him were alone together in the same room?”

Shen Jun turned the tables by using the same question Wen Nian had asked him earlier and directed it back at her. Upon hearing his response, Wen Nian fell into a contemplative silence, unsure of how to respond.

The atmosphere became even stiffer.

Wen Nian’s mind recalled an unconventional method she had shamelessly inquired about from another actress in the same group earlier that day. While it felt somewhat embarrassing, she felt compelled to give it a try in this moment.

Wen Nian rose from her seat and moved closer to Shen Jun, wrapping her arms around his arm in an affectionate gesture. With sincerity and gentleness in her voice, she spoke directly to him. “Please don’t be angry. I acknowledge my mistake, and 1 promise 1 won’t do it again.”

As Shen Jun observed Wen Nian’s sincere approach, the anger within him began to dissipate to some extent. However, he recognized the need to address the underlying trust issue directly and convey the gravity of the situation.

Shen Jun pulled his hand away and remained silent.

Noticing that Shen Jun remained unaffected by her previous attempt, Wen Nian recalled an upgraded version of reconciliation that her colleague had suggested. Blushing, she mustered her courage and clung tightly to Shen Jun’s waist. Overcoming her shyness, she adopted a coquettish tone and pleaded, “Baby, 1 was wrong. Please don’t be angry, alright?”

Shen Jun was a little surprised, but he forced himself to remain calm on the surface. He asked lightly, “What did you call me just now?”

As expected, the focus had successfully shifted.

Wen Nian gazed up at Shen Jun, her eyes fixed on his profile. Maintaining a composed demeanor, she softly coaxed him, ensuring her words carried sincerity. “My love, 1 promise that 1 will never be so impulsive again, and 1 won’t find myself alone with someone of the opposite sex in a confined space. Please, don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Shen Jun’s focus sharpened on the first two words spoken by Wen Nian. As he continued to listen to the rest of her sentence, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. “You and Bai Zheng…”

Wen Nian swiftly interjected, eager to clarify any potential misunderstandings. “Shen Jun, Bai Zheng and 1 are just schoolmates and friends. There is absolutely nothing ambiguous or inappropriate between us..”
