Chapter 222: Chapter 182 Shen Jingchuan, You Big Idiot! _2 Chapter 222: Chapter 182 Shen Jingchuan, You Big Idiot! _2 After returning to City A, Wenyan had planned to spend the night at her own apartment and drop by the neighboring beauty salon for a spa.
But as soon as she entered the house, she received a call from Shen Jingchuan.
âWhat are you up to, busybody?â
Wenyan: âYouâre the busy one, arenât you? Sending you messages and not getting a reply until the next day, while everyone else gets instant replies. Messaging you is like reincarnation.â
Shen Jingchuan laughed, âIs it really that exaggerated? But I do reply eventually, mainly because I donât have time to check my phone. Letâs cut the crap, I finally have some free time these past couple of days. Do you want to hang out?â
âSure, letâs,â Wenyan was about to suggest booking a private room at a nearby restaurant for hot pot, but then she thought better of it and changed her suggestion.
âLetâs meet at home. We both havenât been home for a long time. I happen to be free tonight. What time can you get there? Can you make it for dinner?â
âI can. Iâll wrap things up here and then I can leave,â replied Shen Jingchuan.
âGreat, see you later then.â
After hanging up, Wenyan immediately got in touch with Su Yang.
By the time she had caught up on sleep at her apartment and returned home, it was just in time for the family dinner.
By then, Shen Jingchuan had already arrived, and Shen Jingxiu had also come home. The family of five sat together and enjoyed a lavish dinner.
After dinner, Shen Jingchuan suggested playing billiards and was particularly keen on inviting Wenyan to join.
Wenyan didnât even think before refusing outright: âYou and big brother play. I donât know how.â
Shen Jingchuan wouldnât let her off the hook: âThatâs no problem, I can teach you. Itâs simple, and I believe with your intelligence, youâll pick it up really quickly.â
âHa,â Wenyan launched into self-deprecating mode, âYouâre overconfident in me. I trust my intelligence is fine, but my physical coordination might not cooperate. You wouldnât want to get so frustrated teaching that you vex yourself to death.â
âIs that so?â Shen Jingchuan raised an eyebrow, âI donât believe it until you prove me wrong.â
Wenyan rolled her eyes at him, âProvocation wonât work on me. Iâve been almost killed by exhaustion from filming these past days, all sore and achy. I donât even want to stand for one more minute now. But you know what, I donât think Iâve ever watched you guys play. I can cheer for you from the sidelines! Letâs go!â
âHold on,â Shen Jingchuan had yet to move, âWhat have you been filming recently thatâs been working you so hard?â
âA period drama about court intrigues, we just did outdoor scenes today,â Wenyan replied.
Shen Jingchuan nodded, âSo itâs not the sort of drama that requires you to do wire stunts, is it dangerous?â
Wenyan, opting to share the good and not the bad: âCourt dramas donât need wire stunts, so far everything is going smoothly.â
âGood to hear that. Letâs go then, downstairs.â
Wenyan nodded, turned to Su Yang and asked, âMom, the more, the merrier. Why donât you come with us?â
Su Yang first looked at Shen Jingchuan, then turned to look at Shen Yuan beside her, constantly thinking of mending the father-son relationship.
âYour dad is also pretty good at billiards. How about the three of you play a couple of rounds together? Itâs livelier with more people.â
Shen Jingxiu understood his motherâs intention and tacitly went along with it.
âSure, I havenât played a three-way game in a long time. What about you, Jingchuan?â
âDefinitely, Iâm your little fan, brother!â Wenyan clenched her fist to cheer on Shen Jingchuan, sparing no effort.
Fan, huh? Play, we definitely will!!
Shen Jingchuan quickly glanced at Shen Yuan, feigning indifference, âWhatever you say, Iâm up for anything.â
The party of five quickly made it to the billiards room on the lower floor, and soon after, Zhangâs sister brought over some snacks and drinks.
To liven up the atmosphere, Wenyan set a game rule.
The rule was that the ultimate winner could ask the loser to do something, and the loser couldnât refuse.
It was a simple game rule and the father and sons all agreed.
Wenyan didnât see any noticeable reaction on the faces of the other two men, but Shen Jingchuanâs competitive spirit was evidently roused.
After picking his cue, Shen Jingchuan walked directly to Wenyanâs side, looking confident with a determined smile on his lips.
âWhy donât you place a bet too? Bet on me, and if I win, Iâll let you exercise my winnerâs right. How about that? Letting them fulfill one of your wishes unconditionally is a chance of a lifetime.â
Wenyan looked at Shen Jingchuan with a smile, âAre you that confident?â
Shen Jingchuan, with raised eyebrows and full of bravado, looking irresistibly handsome, replied, âWhat else? Do you think they were the only ones studying hard and working overtime for the company while I did nothing?â
âTsk,â Wenyan nearly died of laughter at Shen Jingchuanâs showiness, âYou sure have the nerve to boast.â
